Goodness I was so excited to see a new chapter posted! So sorry to hear RL kicking your butt. I am so pleased with the direction of this story, even if I may occassionally be impatient at the pace. Truly the pace is fine, I just need to learn patience! *grins*
Thank you for promising to finish this. I would much rather wait and be gifted with a throrough story than have it rushed and feel incomplete.
Author's Response:
I know that this chapter was a little off, but it took me a bit to get back into the flow of writting again.
While real life has sucked I've been a little depressed and that makes it even harder to write about people falling in love. I'm trying to push past it and writing as well as reading are a great way to lose myself. So as I said I promise that I will finish it, you all deserve at least that for your unconditional support.
Thanks for reading it really means a lot to me.
Date: 24 May 2011 Title: Chapter 2: What Happens Behind Closed Doors
I was surprised and pleased to see Edward then Rosalie's pov. While I imagine it makes it more complex for an author, I believe this will give a beautifully well rounded perspective on this story overall.
I am most eager to continue exploring this charming story.
Date: 24 May 2011 Title: Chapter 3: The Most Basic Facts
I, like both Edward and Alice, was rather surprised by Rosalie's invitation for Bella to return over the week end. I am looking forward to seeing their day together.
Date: 24 May 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Family Ties
Hmmm. It was both enlightening and endearing to hear Edward's story. I believe it started a bonding between he and Bella that neither is aware of.
Naughty Alice! Were you buying up the town to set up Bella in Edward's life??
Date: 24 May 2011 Title: Chapter 5: Money Problems
I am glad that Bella got to witness Alice's punishment. I agree that it is something that she needed to see. Given how much Edward (and Alice too) want Bella to join thier life, it was imperitive that Bella understand ALL aspects of this life.
Date: 24 May 2011 Title: Chapter 6: Explaining The Pain
Bella certainly seems interested in Domestic Dicipline. I wonder if her interest is solely professional??
Date: 25 May 2011 Title: Chapter 21: Hospital Admissions
I loved this chapter! The heart to heart with the endearing Siob, meeting Carlisle (again) and seeing those two interact was a joy. It was a treat to see Carlisle and Siob's responses to Bella and Edward together. Aaand of course, a hot moment snuck by Edward for a toe curling kiss!
I am looking forward to Bella's introduction to the rest of this interesting family!
Date: 25 May 2011 Title: Chapter 22: Home Away From Home
I am glad to have seen Rosalie's conversation with Esme. This has to be an extremely difficult time for her and I am glad she has Esme to talk it over with.
Seeing more of Edward's family interact with each other is enlightening. Seeing the children being deciplined must have been an eye opener for Bella. It spoke volumes when Esme passed Reni to Bella. It was neat seeing Bella take the baby to snuggle. I can only imagine had Edward been there to witness it, he would have had much the same reaction Bella did seeing him hold the baby at the hospital!
Little by little, Rosalie is bonding with Bella. It may not be with the suddeness that Edward and then Alice did, but in this it is about reaching the same destination.
Date: 24 Oct 2011 Title: Chapter 23: Times Are Changing
So happy to see another chapter.
Bella craves a sense of belonging and she wants that fulfilled by Edward and his crazy family. I am eagerly hoping she finds her place.
Bella and Alice have been friends with benefits for ten years. When they meet Edward and Jasper, they find their missing peices. How will their families deal with their relationships? NC-17 for Lots of lemons: E/B, A/J, B/J, A/E, A/B, E/J, E/B/A/J

I have only just discovered this fantastic story. Originally, I was curious based on the summary, but quickly grew to love it! Now I can't get enough. Must say I was concerned as the other couples began to form their own quartets, but you have done a wonderful job of not making these other groupings appear contrived in any way.
Happy writing!
'cause I'm happy reading ;-)

Well, we knew the intense studio time was going to be difficult for Edward. Perhaps if he were not seperated from his pregnant wife, he just maybe could have taken some of the crazy shit with a little more finesse!
Crazy fun to see Edward uncover Bella's 'secret'. After learning that Kate nearly broke Garrett's peen, she had to feel less nutty about her own needs! Again, being seperated from Edward for several days a week had to intensify the issue. Loved the line: stolen candy from a candy store. That was just PERFECT.
Edward's first experience feeling his possums kick was so beautiful! Must confess to weeping right along witht the family.
Alice's impersonating Jasper, 'Major' Whitlock's supervision at the ranch was a hoot. I half expected Jasper to witness that, had suspicions of his reaction and everything...
Alice, Bella and Edward's reactions to a SUSPECTED playroom of the parents was to be expected. Proud to see Jasper instructing his wife and siblings to behave like the adults they are.
Was impressed that Esme declared her submission to Carlisle during their recommitment. Then to learn Emmett has known this was rather funny, particularly Edward's reaction to Emmett knowing about the playroom.
Emmett is such a fun character. One minute he can be so blase about his father Dominating his mother, and yet he can pout over not being included in an Easter egg hunt. He is just a delight.
What a wonderful summer!Charlie and Sue celebrated their anniversary. Carlisle and Esme's recommitment. Joshua's birthday. Jasper and Alice's anniversary. Kate delivering her and Garrett's first child. Edward and Bella celebrating their own anniversary only to deliver the twins soon after.
Wow. An action packed chapter here. Sad to imagine this ending anytime soon...
Date: 25 Sep 2011 Title: Chapter 76: Chapter 76
So Bella was forced to overcome her utter mortification and discuss her ass with her father in law. As a result, she sought the advice of her doctor who was able to reassure her that all was well now.
This arrangement with Edward has given her time to grow, learn and to heal emotionally, mentally and physically. Edward was very correct in that not many months before she never would have approached him to discuss their relationship such as she did. I look forward to his ideas for a less intense arrangement for their future.
It was good to see Bella and Alice finally force their way through what was bothering Alice so. It must have been difficult for Edward and Jasper to watch their women in such pain. Alice will surely grow from this.
It has been spectacular watching the children all grow. Am curious as to the possibilities of Seth and Jessie maybe being more than friends...
Author's Response:
Okay, I love Seth and I want him to find true love, so who knows if Jessie is the girl for him - only time will tell. Thanks so much for your kind words and your awesome review.
Date: 12 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 61: Chapter 61
Phew. That was a marathon of events!
So the family (as expected!) quickly and happily accepted the news of Alice's pregnancy. LOVED that Carlisle, Emmett and Edward sent Jasper into the pool. Naughty Jasper, dropping trou in front of everyone!! The women folk might need a dose of brain bleach to purgh that image. Somethings you just DO NOT want to know about your brother/son in vivid detail!
Very surprised to see some private Jasper and Alice time. Glad he sought the advice of trusted, experienced individuals. It will be a long road ahead for a D/s pregnancy.
Maybe the fiasco with Renee will ultimately for the best. It prompted Charlie to be honest with Bella about his failed marriage and showed Bella that her father is willing to make a definite effort to build a new relationship with her.
Gotta say, I am curious as to what Phil would have written to Bella...
Date: 11 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 60: Chapter 60
What a crazy emotional chapter. Charlie and Sue's wedding was a joy. Seth is a fun addition to the mix for sure. I am glad Billy was included. Despite the horrors his son inflicted on the Cullen family, it was not Billy's doing. As Charlie's friend they found the way around the horrors Jacob's of behavior and did not allow it to drive them apart.
I adored how Edward and Bella were of one mind during the service. Convincing Bella to set a date was rather easily done. Edward's reaction and the entire family's arrival in their room was splendid.
Ooooh Alice!! Kate saw and suspected. You silly girl, you have watched Rosalie expanand and yet you did not consider that your wedding dress would not fit?? This is going to be one incredibly busy year for the Cullen family!!
Date: 03 Jul 2011 Title: Chapter 70: Chapter 70
Quite the roller coaster ride here! Wow. The mind is still spinning. It was amazing to watch the situation with Carlisle and Esme unfold. As well as to see the 'kids' reactions to it all. I felt so sad for Esme when she began to reveal her childhood insecurities. Too often we do take the aproach of 'it's over, move on' when that is the worst thing to do.
Carlisle has an amazing support system in Garrett, his sons and now Charlie. Esme has the girls but kept everything inside until it nearly consumed her. I am glad that after talking with Edward she realizes she should seek counseling.
I believe too, Esme needs to realize the strength she has in her family. Her daughters are a blessed gift. She knows how similar Bella's emotions are, she just denied this to herself.
It was no surprise that Carlisle had the grand-daddy of anxiety attacks over all of this. Marital issues are stressful, dividing the family, and at Christmas of all times! It was a blessing that the family had chosen to invade Forks. The big reveal was spectacular, especially when Emmett failed to keep quiet as to their own expanding family.
I liked that Jasper was observant enough to discover Bella's pregnancy on his own. Of course the women would all have known too had they been near. Emmett's mention of homing sperm was so Emmett. I enjoyed the 'bigger boat' reference :-)
Date: 28 Aug 2011 Title: Chapter 74: Chapter 74
Perhaps Bella would benefit from a few visits with Paul. Her self image seems to be in need of adjusting. Despite the weight loss, she is feeling unattractive to her mate. Then again, perhaps all she needs is a good session with her Master to make her see how he values and desires her.
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
What a dramatic entrace by Edward! Eager to see where this goes.
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2
I like the suddenness of Edward's reaction to seeing Bella with another man! Rather telling, huh? Now, Bella's reaction as she undressed him was perfect. This, as they say, is the beginning of something wonderful.
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
Things sure are heating up!!
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Wow. That was a VERY intense evening. Seems Edward may have gotten a little bit more than he expected from his hostess. Perhaps Edward will explore the closet a little bit while putting laundry away tomorrow...
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Great plot progression. A lot for one day but not forced at all. Very nicely done in fact. I definitely did NOT expect things to be revealed in this manner, but it fit perfectly. Very natural.
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6
*swoon* Damn, Edward is good. His control is amazing. He knows what he wants and is incredibly focused.
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Good progression. Fun to see Edward's confused state of mind.

It shall be a long journey of learning for Bella. First lesson is the knowledge that she WILL make mistakes.
Author's Response:

They are learning, adapting and growing as a unit.
Author's Response:

Jealous much Edward? Guess he doesn't much like the feeling. I suspect when they return to their 'real lives' the feeling will be returned ten fold.
Alice, the little engine! Loved it.
Teasing is fun until you are the one being teased!
Author's Response:
thank you so much
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11
Must be an ingeresting evolution, having one's body no longer be entirely their own...
*hee hee* I hope she asks! While not ingrained in her psyche, it would be rather fun on the rare occasion ot switch.
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Yikes!! Alcohol is a baaaad thing. The girls are in so much trooouble. *ouch*
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13
I am glad Edward reminded her that she will make mistakes. Though I doubt her ass believes he went easy on her!
I like the matching infinity bracelets but agree with Edward that wearing her collar all the time is not the best idea. I would think that the braclet would serve Bella's intended purpose. Although the collar sounds charming (hee hee, pun intended!).
Date: 04 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Good timing for her collar to be off!
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15
What an emotional week. For once, I am immensely grateful for Alice's scheming ways. Gotta hope her winning ways continue.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 16
So happy that this round of unpleasantry is behind them. Now, onto Bella's living circumstances...
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 17
Well, this day has certainly been emotional for both of them, as well as enlightening for Edward.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18
I do think Bella found education as well as arousal from their private viewing.
Poor Edward appears to be having a crisis of emotions, his girl has him in fits half the time, horny as hell the other.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 19: Chapter 19
Well HELL! Had to know it would be bad if Edward left the house! How could she leave though? Emmett has her truck.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 20: Chapter 20
Kate occured to me mere moments before she was revealed. I am sooo glad the group had an intervention of sorts for these two. I am pleased that they are stepping back from their D/s rolse for a month. Obviously, they can still have LOTS of fun times!!
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Hmmmm. 'Vicky' and 'Jim'?? I don't trust this, seems fishy.
Aaargh! This seperation is just going to suck. At least if she was at his place, his shadow would be there with her.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22
Aaargh! Shit shit shit. When Bella told the group about her neighbors, did she happen to mention any names?? Damn it girl, just give in and move into the one place you feel at home!
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 23: Chapter 23
Uuuumm. *oops* Gotta learn to listen to your inner voice better! Master is PISSED.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Progress is happening for their relationship. I do hope she decides she'd rather stay at his house full time before anything else too weird occurrs with the neighbors.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 25: Chapter 25
A beautiful ceremony and fabulous night together!
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 26: Chapter 26
DO NOT LEAVE, Bella!!! Stay and do as you're told. Once he calms down a bit and is less terrified for your well being, he will be glad you finally told him.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 27: Chapter 27
Hmmmm. Seems Bella is closer to considering the apartment a waste. I shall be anxious to see what Emmett has discovered about the creepy neighbors.
While Bella has good intentions with her monthly playtime, she still needs the guidance of her Dom. Perhaps there is another way they could go about this?
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 28: Chapter 28
Soooo. Their secret is out!! It will be interesting to see the fallout.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 29
Things move quickly in that world. Lesson to agents: don't piss off your source of income!
Pleased to see Bella taking this head on AND obeying her Master's wishes.
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 30: Chapter 30
What a delightfully fun chapter!!!
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 31: Chapter 31
What a shitty week. Hope they plan on moving Bella out of that place this weekend!
Author's Response:
thanks so much for the review
Date: 05 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32
A fantastic start to Bella's healing. It will be wonderful for Edward to have extra time with his girl. There will be a disappointed group back at the apartment building!
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 33
Unfortunate that a playful afternoon gave way to such a dark moment. Another learning experience for them and they moved on from it. Otherwise it was wonderful to see them settle into what might be a normal life!
Impressed to see Bella accept the movers handle things for her.

thanks so much for being so faitful and reviewing after every chapter! It is so interesting to read your comments - I haven't read these chapters in so long!

Emotions run high for the holidays and last night set everyone on edge. I bet Esme was overwhelmed by the gesture (I hope) and was not dismayed that another did what she typically does herself.
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 35: Chapter 35
Hmmmm. First and foremost I am curious to see what Bella's bloodwork results might reveal....
I love seeing the family bonding time. Jasper's proposal was great, the hot air balloon rides were inspired. I loved Carlisle's response to Edward about the house lacking soundproofing!
Eeeks! Another reveal! Their first play party! *squee*
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36
The party had to be taxing for both of them. It would seem that Edward had not attended one in quite some while. Given his lack of a sub, nevermine a commited, collard sub at previous events; this had to be a news maker for all attendees.
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37
Life does seem to be an ongoing learning process, huh? Bella seems to be making progress on many levels though!
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 38: Chapter 38
Game night sounds fun!!
Crap! Edward is feeling foreboding; Jacob and Jim followed the movers to Emmett's house!! I'd been smugly thinking how anyone thinking of finding Bella would find Emmet instead. Crap, this could be bad.
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Glad Rose has a doctor's appt! Kinda hope it might even be a happy illness. Momma C mentioned wanting little feet...
Good thing Edward fessed up to Emmett so he can have the team check in tonight! Seems to me that it would be possible for the residents to be unable to reach a panic button if being held against their will.
Date: 06 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Very well written, complex chapter. Everyone did what they needed to keep themselves safe. That poor pizza boy! Everyone involved might just need a few months of therapy.
Nice that Laurent had a crisis of concious and made the call. While the security team was assembling, it allowed the men to be retreived in time to join their women.
Date: 07 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 41: Chapter 41
HA!! I may have missed the call with Bella, but was spot on with Rose! Yeay!
Date: 07 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 42: Chapter 42
Bella seems to be healing from the invasion far quicker than I expected. Her lesson for the weekend was inventive. I am glad Edward said no to playtime over the holidays. Afterall his childhood home is not soundproof as Carlisle so nicely pointed out!
Date: 07 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 43: Chapter 43
Aro is clever at reading his new client's needs. The PR team will do well to listen to him.
I hope Bella speaks to Edward about her feelings toward her father. At the very least she needs to journal those thoughts. Her anger and resentment will manifest themselves in other ways if she doesn't address her feelings.
*hee hee* Christmas should be a fun time!
Date: 07 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 44: Chapter 45
It must be interesting for Edward seeing Bella's traits and tendencies in her father.
The town folks of Forks sure will be amazed if/when Bella finally goes home to visit!
As difficult as it was, I am so impressed that Charlie stepped up and gave Bella the opportunity to vent her feelings. Strange that no matter how old we get, we carry the emotions of our childhood along with us. We remember things with the views of the child we were and it colors our view tremendously. I hope this gives Bella and Charlie the chance to build a relationship as adults; he without the foggy view his alcoholism gave and she without the anger from being neglected.
Even though it involved his father and Garrett, Edward showed tremendous restraint to not go running after Bella. He is growing as both her boyfriend and as her Dom. Knowing what is best for Bella is utmost in both personas.
Having the extended Cullen family as support should be benefitial for Bella and Charlie to grow together as the adults they both wish to be.
Date: 08 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 45: Chapter 45
I think perhaps Carlsisle and Esme's favorite gifts this holiday is when Bella called them 'Daddy C' and 'Mom'!
I loved the carol picnic! Of course, living in New England, THAT is NOT an option!! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed their holiday. To me, Christmas is supposed to be a crowded, loud, happy time for all.
So glad Charlie summoned the courage and expressed his confusion and concerns about Bella's lifestyle choice to Garrett and Carlisle. He needed to know the answers or the questions would haunt him when he returned home.
I adored their gifts for each other!! Each got as much pleasure in the giving as the recipient did, maybe more. I shall be eager though to see Edward's reaction to his more personal gifts!
Date: 08 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Must say I aprove of Edward's calming technique for settling Bella's nerves prior to the interview. And Dear Lord did I enjoy the interview! The ability of the photographer to engage Bella was inspired. Boy oh boy did I grin over the photographer's reaction to the Cullen/Whitlock men!! Loved the pov during Jamie and Jeff's drive to the airport. *grin*
The insights Bella is gaining during her training are quite interesting. They are both learning things that they both will benefit from!
Date: 08 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 47: Chapter 47
I must say it would have been soooo much better had Alice not ever kept this from Jasper. That being said, I hope the guys punish and forgive their girls so they can learn from their behavior. So long as they are anguishing in guilt, I do not believe that they will be able to reflect and learn.
Date: 08 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 48: Chapter 48
Very grateful that Garrett stepped in to referee the children!! They both needed an objective view on their troubles. I was pleased that Bella went to both Jasper and Esme to call them on their participation in this nonsense. Neither of them had any place involving themselves in Edward and Bella's relationship woes. Left to their own means (with the guidance of only their mentors) these two should thrive nicely.
Date: 08 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 49: Chapter 49
Healing from the cutting of words or behavior takes time, but our couple seems to be finding marvelous ways to mend their spirits and minds. Was glad to see Edward's chat with Carlisle; they too needed to discuss the fuckery from that night.
It will be good for all to begin counseling. I too am curious as to the whole Alice and Bella 'grounding' given their pending public appearances. It might be the men went off half cocked *grins* in the punishment of their women.
I enjoyed Edward's flip out to Mandy and the trio of witches! The women had pushed beyond the boundaries of both common courtesy and the rules of their own society. Just because something has always been accepted or overlooked does NOT mean it is right. Edward made it VERY clear that he will tolerate no such behavour towards either himself or his beloved sub. In the future I believe that he would pursue whatever means available to have these women cast out for this behavior.
Date: 09 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 50: Chapter 50
Ironic to see Edward do for Jasper and Alice what Garrett had done for he and Bella. Alice needed that though; she needed her brother to be her brother, not her fiancee's best friend.
Shit! So much for Billy understanding a damned thing! Crap. Bring on the team of lawyers.
Date: 09 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 51: Chapter 51
What a relief to have the legal noose removed from over their heads. The media vultures might still haunt them, but they always shall for one reason or another. I enjoyed seeing their sessions with Paul. He is quite insightful and knows just what to do and say to evoke the greatest results from his patients.
I am glad Jasper sought out Bella and they made up. Gee, did Alice really have to make up for her time grounded all in one day's shopping! Lucky the girls feet didn't fall off.
Silly Edward, he really can be clueless about a woman's reactions sometimes. Here he is trying to encourage weight gain on his underweight woman yet he makes jokes about her gain. Foolish man, that could have really backfired on Bella's psyche. Luckily, she reacted like any healthy, insulted woman would by torturing him for a few hours! I loved the responses Edward received from his brothers and father *hee hee*, great fun there.
Hmmmm. Seems both Edward and Bella managed to find away around Paul's assignment for their weekend. Quite nicely too it would seem.
Date: 09 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 52: Chapter 52
Hmmmm. Yet another omition that Bella regrets. With time and practice, she will learn to reveal any and every part of her day to her man.
Yeaa! First real public appearance down. Tons to go.
Date: 10 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 53: Chapter 53
I love the relationship of the family as a whole. When they are all together, it seems a normal day becomes special for the sharing of it.
Oohh. This day will prove interesting with Edward's extra play time!
Date: 10 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 54: Chapter 54
I definitely enjoyed the whole Riley segment. While I agree with Bella that it was inappropriate and unprofessional, the surprise of Riley and Esme's reactions toward each other was amazing. I surely do hope to see this event referenced just a bit more.
Edward and Bella's exibition scene was interesting. I hope to hear their follow up discussion about the evening.
Date: 10 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 55: Chapter 55
It was good to see Edward react so calmly and apologise for sharing mom's escapade with Emmett after Bella asked him not to. Shit! Hope Carlisle didn't hold any guilt over Bella's concerns. Though it would seem he had much else on his mind during and after the chat with Bella...
*SQUEEE!!!* Bella might have to reevaluate her opinion of her own talent. Yikes. Can't wait for the news to be shared with the family!! So exciting.
I am glad Edward quickly cleared up any misconceptions Bella had about the film keeping them apart. She must be reminded that they are a team and he will not choose work if it means keepeing him from his woman. Now that she doesn't have a job that requires her presence in one place she is flexible enough to follow her man anywhere they want to be.

The 'intervention' by the women of Bella's life was... interesting. Sadly, it made Bella's announcement rather anticlimatic. In the end I was pleased by Edward's handling of Bella's self neglect. I suspect this time she will grasp and internalize her lesson!
I really enjoyed the visit to Forks. Rather sweet that Charlie wanted the kids present for his proposal. I like how the renovations to the house not only made it home to Sue and Seth but exorcized whatever demons Bella had left behind there.
It does seem to be taken as a fact that Edward and Bella will marry. Seems to me the man needs to move forward and officially propose to his woman! Hmmm, not sure of the calendar, but oughtn't Valentines be nearing??

Poor, silly, worried, frantic Emmett. Thank heavens for Bella's level headedness. Sending him to his father was the best thing anyone could have done! Guess the pics of Em hugging Bella and Edward hugging Rosalie didn't amount to much afterall.
I loved seeing Bella stand up to Heidi! The awards were so well done. A long busy night for all. Bless Edward for such a sweet private proposal! FINALLY!! Bet Charlie was over the moon himself. Can't wait for the rest of the family to learn this.

Gotta love that man! Flying everyone in for a surprise engagement party was wonderfully done. One day soon, Bella is going to have to accept that her little brother is grown up.
What a wonderful exibition opening, even if the coordinator had no clue as to the needs of the artist in question. Sooo glad the guys were able to make it after all. Despite her new grown up attitude, Bella would have surely been disappointed had her man been unable to be there at her side.
It only made sense for Bella to be sad at the sale of her prize pieces. She poured so much of herself into their creation, she must feel she has sold her first born!
*hee hee* Loved the Thumper bit!

It is good to see some semblance of 'normal' for our couple. There will be disagreements and such but they have a solid foundation to balance them.Having your therapist on speed dial helps too!
I was glad that Bella's solo night out was dealt with so neatly. It was fun meeting Edward's college friends. While they know each other well, given their short time together Edward can still surprise his love. The bike trip was inspired.
Date: 12 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 62: Chapter 62
Yaaaay! The (first) baby has arrived!! I loved the cozy contemplation by both Edward and Bella. Emmett's ractions were a nice touch, both before and post delivery.
I cannot imagine someone as high strung as Alice needing to deal with the circus she wanted for her wedding PLUS the hormones of pregnancy! Yikes. This sure seemed to do justice to her personality. I liked how Bella was able to assume control of the situation and handle each crisis so smoothly.
i was impressed how smoothly Bella handled being collard while they were at Cullen Crest. Nice to see the progression of their complicated relationship.
Date: 12 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 63: Chapter 63
Lots of hints at plot points in this one. Veeery curious. Edward must have gotten Bella a new charm for her collar, but whatever could it be???
Date: 12 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 64: Chapter 64
Must say, thank you for no cliffy! What a mess! For a time I had wondered what became of Victoria, but then forgot with all the events and activity of their lives. For a brief moment I thought it was Renee out to cause trouble. Guess we are still waiting to learn what was in Phil's letter.
Date: 12 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 65: Chapter 65
That was definitely an intense piece. Bless friends like Garrett and Paul. I liked seeing strong Bella put they guy in the hotel restaurant in his place! Poor Anderson, he has the hardest time with his job -- Bella just won't stay put!
It is nice to see Edward learn and adjust when his comfort zone shifts unexpectedly. In the past, reading that entry in Bella's journal would have had him in an angry freak out. Instead, he addressed it maturely and rationally. How nice to snuggle and make out in bed with their spouse.
Date: 12 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 66: Chapter 66
What a struggle, going from a pair of perverted nymphos to abstinence! Ouch. I think the road trip was totally inspired. Bless a loving, thoughtful, connected family!
Wha, wha, what?? How the hell? Just what sort of stunt did Renee pull and how the hell did Charlie not know??
Date: 13 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 67: Chapter 67
Renee's twisted tale was unexpected. Very inventive. (I would hope to the Almighty that this doesn't occur in RL!) Bella has mourned the lack of a mother her whole life. Upon meeting Esme, she learned what it could be to have a mother. What a precious gift it was, too.
Such a long journey of abstinence over for our couple. So wtf is up with Bella?
Date: 13 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 68: Chapter 68
Yikes. What a calamity at the hospital! Emotions sure were running high. Yeesh. Carlisle, really? Did you need to punch poor Jasper. You know he thinks the sun rises and sets in Tinks tiny little finger. Really now.
I love love loved the retreat. Given how the week began for Edward and Bella, it was a super outlet for their worries and concerns. Yeaaaa for Garrett and Kate!!! And hooo boy, just wait for the combined news to break at Cullen Crest!! Can't wait.
Date: 17 Jun 2011 Title: PEOPLE LIKE US
I wondered if this would be an especially 'sick' pregnancy given Bella's GI issues.
Esme REALLY needs to remove the stick she has up her butt. Seriously. It was an emotional reflex for cripe sake!
Ooooh kay. This chapter seemed to end more abruptly than a cliff hanger. Was there a computer or website malfunction??
Author's Response:
Hey love, No it was a MICHELE malfunction - I have reposted the chapter, correctly this time - thanks for the heads up!
Date: 18 Jun 2011 Title: Chapter 69: Chapter 69
Oh My! I do NOT envy Jasper and Emmett facing Esme! Shit and damn. Not to mention Edward is going to have to face her at New Years. Undoubtably he should call her over Christmas. If she calls Bella, Bella is going to fall apart due to hormones. Ooooh HELL. Hopefully Alice and Rosalie can find some sense out of the insanity. Yikes.

What a FULL couple of weeks! Wow. Seth is so unbelievably well grounded that having his 'brother' and uncles spoil him a little won't hurt anything.
Edward's silly reactions to Bella's clothing anxiety was funny. Loved how Charlie and Edward baited each other. Bella was really worried her dad might have Edward arrested. Crazy woman.
Edward and Emmett's repeated reactions to their parents having a sex life continues to be funny. Carlisle's proposal to recommit was beautiful. I am so happy they are working things out. The little peeks into their 'alternate' life is a joy.
Seeing Edward's reaction to all the stuff one little baby requires for a day trip was hilarious. So glad his parents clued him in to just how much more they will require for twins! *hee hee* Just wait until the kids need 'furniture' (swings, playpens and such)!!
The rance is a sweet dream come true for the men and their families. LOTS of stress potential in the coming months to meed Edward's goal though...

Thank you so much for your review and comments xoxo

Glad Edward went back to see Paul. He and Bella know firsthand that therapy works for them.
I adore how Edward made every effort he can to be with Bella while he meets his obligations in LA. He is so attentive to her needs while at the same time addressing his own needs and fears.
I do hope Bella’s new wardrobe helps her be more comfortable in her new shape.
I love how Emmett is able to step up and settle Edward as best he can. The entire family will suffer from their own forms of ptsd over not distant enough events. Taking concrete steps to guard against further problems is all they can do.
Waking on Valentine’s has to be among the top most romantic moments EVER! He is such an incredibly loving and thoughtful man. And then the trip! *swoon* The man just continues to exceed himself.
It was incredible seeing Bella go from reacting to the bitch at lunch for feeding into Bella’s insecurities to dinner where she reached deep within and stood up to Lauren and her bitch troop in the restroom. *yea Bella!*
Very nice to see the forming friendship with Dana. Always nice to have another girl friend to turn to. They seen to be new friends with a bond that will feel like old friends. So sad that Angela allowed herself to be led woefully down the wrong path.
Thrilled to have Anderson back on duty! He is a brother to Bella and she will be comforted by his presence, particularly when Edward is away. So exciting that he and Brian will be moving with them to the ranch! Who better to head security than those who already have such wonderful rapport with.
Enjoyed the insight into how things are progressing ‘back on the farm’ *wink*. So much is happening at once; Edward’s score of the movie, the possums’ development, their new homes at the ranch, Rose’s pregnancy, Kate’s pregnancy, there is a lot to keep up with. Having snippets of each is a wonderful inclusion for a incredibly well rounded story.
Aaand of course continuing to visit Edward and Bella in lust is a good thing too! Had to laugh at Anderson and Brian’s decision making attempts *hee hee*. Rock paper scissors? Really? How old are those two? Not that I’d blame them. Who would want to volunteer for THAT duty? Seriously, there had to be MAJOR lust vibes being emitted from that house.
Loved the juxtaposition of Bella’s gift of a photo with Edward’s buying a pretty tank! Maybe it is a good thing he’s in LA. I have to wonder if the timing was really a coincidence or if the sneaky man planned it that way...
Date: 11 Sep 2011 Title: Chapter 75: Chapter 75
Bella clearly has issues, and possibly will for the remainder of her days. If she recognizes what she needs to manage her issues and Edward is able to provide the structure she needs, nobody else has any place to argue that it is not 'right'.
The idea of five children would be incredibly scary. They have a plan and that seems to soothe Bella's anxieties so she can take one day at a time. Who knows, one more pregnancy and Edward may change his mind.
Glad Emmett and Rose have their new bundle safely in arms. Interesting that Jasper corrected Alice in the parked car but immediate correction is always best. Crazy girl still forgets that while Edward is her brother, he is Bella's Dom first and she must respect that.
It will be sad to come to the end of this epic journey. Someday I shall most definitely need to revisit this from the very beginning!!

O-M-G!! I ADORE the uncles! What a great pair of guys. I picture the uncles from 'Secondhand Lions', they seem to share many of the eccentricities. I love how protective they are of Bella. I was glad Charlie shared their crazy stunt with Bella, she deserved to know that her nemesis is forever gone from her life.
A crazy family, but what a great group.
Date: 21 Nov 2011 Title: Chapter 80: Chapter 80
As usual, I absolutely LOVE these lenghty chapters but feel my reviews are inadequate. So much occurred here I fear I will not do justice to the work presented.
I am glad the family knows the uncles' 'secret' interference.
Edward’s birthday gifts to Bella were so incredibly touching. The Tuscan tour will be something she remembers for the rest of her life. The bracelet she shall cherish every day.
I grinned at the naivety of Alice and Bella that their three ‘normal’ friends would not have known who they were AND to whom they were married to.
It was scary watching baby Nicolas’ delivery. I liked seeing Master Edward step in to calm Isabella like only he can. And then to have Carlisle embrace Edward to soothe his emotions in the shower was just wonderful. Too few families have that kind of bond to do that.
Wow. While we knew Esme suffered at her parents’ rejection, I never would have suspected their treatment of her extended to such horrible depths.
I was incredibly pleased she cajoled the uncles to come live nearby.
It is fun seeing the crazy extended family with all the little ones enjoy each other.
*Yippee!* So pleased Edward was nominated. The nomination in itself is a great honor even if he does not win.
Bella eventually moved on with her life after Edward left and never returned. Seven years have passed and she is now a teacher. When she starts her newest teaching assignment destiny intervenes to reunite them. Now she is faced with new challenges and decisions. Canon pairings. (Warnings: Violence/Mild strong language/Adult situations)
NB: I will be posting the EPOV (Student Liaison) alongside this as much as possible. The full version of Teachers Pet is on fanfiction.net but that will be the watered down version - this one will be complete with outtakes in place.

Bella's 'gift' to Alice seems surely a blessing. As painful as it is for Bella to see now, it was not HER father doing these things to HER. Who knows what damage these memories would have done to Alice, able to remember decade after long decade.

WTF?? Jasper has snapped. Why would he wish to take his brother's fiance? Where are the others? The 'battle' scene seems contrived.
Date: 28 May 2011 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2
I am guessing that Jasper is messing with Bella's emotions; reducing her grief while amplifying her arousal...
Date: 28 May 2011 Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3
Poor Emmett! Grateful the others are ok though. Soooo, is Jasper being controlled like a puppett? or is this not 'our' Jasper, like the body of 'Edward' and head of 'Alice' planted at the meadow??
Date: 28 May 2011 Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Soooo. Rosalie isn't dead?? Who is Victoria's captive 'pet'??
Date: 28 May 2011 Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Alice wouldn't have visions of Jasper if he is being kept unconcious, but then what is up with Bella's emotions...??? Edward just might be on the track to realize his and Alice's 'deaths' were staged but he has to take it to the next step (or four!!)
