Anxious for the trial.

A new chapter in their lives is beginning. I hope all runs smoothly for them.

I completely get where Bella is coming from. I can't imagine how lonely and unimportant she's feeling right now. She needs to take Irina's advice and open herself up to someone new and work on her trust issues. She should choose a woman to befriend and hang out with, a man may make her feel intimidated.

I don't see why she couldn't still go visit Edward, though. Instead of talking on the phone they could have some quite time when he got home. She could have always found something to occupy her time during the day while he was working.

What a sweet reunion...

Hmm... I like Felipe, hope he's a good guy for real and not just using his position to get closer to Bella.

Angie is a royal bitch. Don't blame Bella at all for walking out on her.

I knew Edward wouldn't let Bella down.

I'm excited for the proposal.

Fantastic ending. You wrapped it up really well.

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall at the family breakfast, lol. Do you think you'll do an outtake of it?

What a tragic childhood Edward had. And he knows how her life wasn't too grand either. So sad.

I really don't feel bad for Tanya, at all. She wanted to be his wife, well she got his name, but not him.

He made love to Bella... Ahh, they're falling for each other whether they realize it at this point or not. Actions speak louder than words.

Looking forward to more.

Mara is a spiteful bitch.

The food fight was such a great family bonding thing to do. Edward being able to celebrate Levi's birthday with him is so special after Tanya robbed them of so many years.

I'm glad Edward called Esme out on the Cullens not helping Bella and protecting her from Tanya. I can hardly wait to see how Tanya answers for all she's done wrong.

Fantastic how Edward is proving to Bella he is gonna be there for her and Levi to love and protect them. Glad Bella is willing to work it out with Edward and not turn tail and run.

I hope Bella introduces Edward, not only as Levi's piano teacher, but also as his daddy. Levi deserves to know, sooner rather than later. He's so intelligent, he may figure it out on his own. Being a gifted child, he deserves the best education available to him. I'm looking forward to Edward meeting Levi, as well as Roger.

I really wanna see Tanya pay for what she's done, not only by Edward's hands, but Bella's as well.

Sherry

Absolutely addicted, please continue.

Edward enjoys Bella being so sassy with him. Their banter is quite funny at times. They care for each other more than they want to admit.

I'm guessing something happened to Edward in the water is the reason he declined swimming and advised Bella not to drift to far out.

Esme surprised me. I thought for sure she was gonna blast Bella, glad she's supportive of Edward being happy, no matter who does it.

Bella should tell Edward about Tanya's threats.

Looking forward to more.

I love Roger. He seems very dedicated to Edward and only wants him to be happy, and knows Bella makes him happy. I liked he gave Bella the recipes to make Edward breakfast.

I want Edward to take Bella as his 'date' to the functions Tanya was raving about. By staying in the marriage, Tanya is showing how ignorant she truly is.

I'm actually looking forward to some fantasies coming into play. I keep wanting Tanya to walk in on Edward nailing Bella without stopping while he addresses Tanya. So cruel, I know.

Happy Birthday JJ.

I love Roger. He's always been there for Edward. I see him being as devoted to Levi as he is Edward.

Carlisle and Esme had some nerve showing up uninvited, but I'd rather it be them than Alice. Bella has a lot to overcome and think about as to where Edward's family is concerned, as well as a lot of other things. She needs to make the move soon though, before they come back on their own. She needs to control the situation and do it on her own time and turf, without giving them any advantage points.

I like to see Bella get pregnant soon, so Edward could experience the pregnancy with her.

Looking forward to more.

When will Tanya ever give up? She's so delusional to think she's gonna be able to hang on to Edward much longer. And Charlie, did not see that coming. I think he's looking for compensation of 'losing' his daughter to a billionnaire. I wonder what all Tanya has told him.

One by one, Bella is gaining the acceptance of the Cullens.

Update again soon please.

The banner change isn't all that bad actually.

Edward seems to be realizing what it'll be like if Bella did leave for good. Loved the emails. He's opening up to her, somewhat. I guess the ball is in Edward's court.

I'm stunned.

I loved this chapter. We got to see Edward in a new light. Hopefully Bella will start seeing him in a new light as well. Levi is such a cutie. If he's half as smart as you betray him to be, he'll figure out Edward is his father in no time... and they can't lie to him... he'll know.

I need more of this awesome story.

Whatever the significance of March 14 is to Edward, he now has a new meaning for that date. Looking forward to learning what that date meant in his past. Being Levi's birthday will overshadow the demons.

I'm thrilled Bella finally made a decision about Edward and herself. Jumping his bones may have not been the best thing to do until they get counseling, but what is done is done. They're moving forward, which is fantastic for Levi's sake.

I'm curious to find out what all his demons are that he has buried.

Sherry

Good luck with your mid-terms.

Tanya had it all planned out. What a bitch. Hopefully the police did a complete investigation instead of assuming Edward was just speedling, and realized the breaks had been tampered with.

I'm with Edward here. I want Tanya (and James) destroyed. But I'd really like to see Bella get a chance to put Tanya in her place and how happy Edward is with Bella and Levi.

Sherry

James's call was interesting to say the least. He evidently feels like he can still ruin Edward. And he may do it, if Edward isn't completely honest with Bella about James' intentions.

The interview is gonna be hard for Bella, but she wrote the book, allowed it to be published, took the money for it. She needs to toughen up and face the consequences now... together with Edward, or it may just tear them apart.

Levi needs a little brother. That boy is just too cute.

Levit and his dog was cute. Edward and Bella trying to be 'normal'. What or who defines what's normal?

Edward saying goodbye to his mother... kinda sad he's closes that chapter in his life, but I liked it that he told her he was getting married and about Levi.

Hopefully paying off Tanya will get her out of their lives for good now.

Bella needs to get pregnant again. Levi needs a baby brother bear.

Edward did have two big bombs dropped on him. Looking forward to his reaction to Bella's news.

Sherry

What a cliffy. The shit has hit the fan. Rosalie and her little friends are in for an ass whooping, they have to be behind Bella's attack. I hope Ben or Angela find her soon.

Sherry

Thanks for updating.

For some reason I didn't realize this was a companion to your other story. I'm intrigued, Bella seems very mature and knows what she wants out of life.

I knew Rosalie was being to goody-goody acting around with Bella. Catholic boarding school is sounding fairly good for her. Maybe Edward should enforce her to volunteer out a homeless shelter to show her how lucky she has it. I'd have taken all internet and TV too. She doens't deserve any privileges.

Bella should be ticked at Edward for jumping to conclusions about the costume.

I half expect Rosalie to walk in on Edward and Bella showing some affection toward to each other at some point.

I feel bad Bella is basically trapped in a secret relationship, at least until Edward pulls his head out of his ass.

I'm glad Edward sees the error of his ways where Rosalie was concerned.

Communication is key and Edward is finally getting it right with Bella. His plan seems solid, let's hope it works out as it was intended without any surprises.

I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to get frustrated with Edward. He needs to man-up and go public with Bella as his girlfriend. I feel like he wants his cake and eat it too. Bella is his dirty little secret.

The situation with Heidi would have went down a different way had it been me. I would've staked my claim in front of her, be damned what Edward had to say about it.

They seem to be getting along so far for the most part.

Given Tanya's attitude, it seems like she and Bella will get on just fine where the kids are concerned.

A beach trip could very well test Edward's restraint, seeing Bella in a bikini.

Loved this chapter. I adore how they are coming together as a family. They should talk to Tanya and the kids soon. Then confide in Esme and Carlisle.

Sherry

I'm looking forward to them coming out to everyone. My main concerns are for how Tanya and Rosalie will react.

Looking forward to them having fun at the Borgata, but I have a feeling this weekend is the calm before the storm.

Seth is gonna go protective brother and ask questions. I don't think he'll figure out Bella is involved with Edward. At least I hope he doesn't blow it out of proportion for them.

At first I was concerned Seth would be a problem, but now he seems to understand Bella and Edward's relationship is honest and true. Just hope everyone else accepts it as easily.

Honesty was the way to go for Bella with Edward. Now he knows what he could be up against. Rosalie couldn't have offered a better gift to Bella, let's just hope it last.

I'm anxious of them 'coming out' to everyone.

Sherry

Thanks for updating. I'm hoping Esme and Carlisle come around soon. Nice to see Rosalie getting closer to Bella.

Sherry

Instead of Edward making plans as to how he is gonna make their relationship work, shouldn't it be both of them planning together as to how to proceed?

Whatever Edward feels he needs to work through, he should do it quickly before he does lose Bella. She doesn't need to be made to feel she is his dirty little secret.

This chapter from EPOV gave me chills. I really hope Bella is okay.

Sherry

Glad Edward has seen the value in Bella beyond sex. Being there for her and allowing her to grieve was such a selfishless act.

Bella is a lucky woman to have someone like Edward. I hope Carlisle and Esme come around soon. They are being quite childish about something that really doesn't concern them.

Sherry

As well as things are going for Edward and Bella on a personal level. Edward better keep an eye on Heidi, now that she's lost the promotion and suspects his relationship with Bella. She could cause some trouble. A woman scorned and all that.

Finally Edward has set a date to reveal his relationship with Bella. I seriously doubt Tanya or Rosalie will be to happy about it. I'm also concerned how Carlisle and Esme will react. I think Esme may be okay with it.

Looking forward to more.

I'm glad Edward put Heidi in her place, just hope she doesn't decide to cause trouble for him in the future.

Also I'm glad he had decided to step up his game. Bella is so worth it. He needs to go public with his relationship with her... soon.

Carlisle was gonna cut Edward's thoughts off on Nannygate before they even got going on Bella, lol. I'm sure there will be some hurt along the way, but I'm looking forward to the story unwinding.

Sherry

I don't think Bella would be as opposed to getting with Edward as he thinks.

Rosalie needs taken down a notch or two. Soon.

I'm glad the conversation between Edward and Ben went smoother than I expected. They do need all the support they can roundup when they go public.

Still anxious about Rosalie's reaction, but hoping for the best.

~Sherry

I have a feeling Heidi will be quite the problem child at work. She's not gonna go down easily.

Glad to see Edward and Bella moving forward. Though I think this is the calm before the storm.
