Well a lot of you still want Renee to die a slow and painful death, but many of you are just glad she is gone.  Renee will be heard from again in future chapters, however we don’t want to give away too much by telling you how, when or why.  We think the next chapter will be the second most popular chapter to date when it posts.  Christmas and preparations for it, is a very fun time for Edward and Bella and will hopefully be well received by our readers. 
On a side note, please check out the wonderful little story that Nikky, Jess2002 and I are writing for Savannavansmutsmut.  It is called If I Die Young and it is posting under the author name: WeeJessAndTAT. 
Nikky and I would love to thank whoever the people were that nominated us in so many catagories for the Twi-Fic Awards.  We are nominated on four different stories: His Cimmerian View, Meeting Her Needs, Diamond Dolls Kitty Cave and Crabs And Cream.  We were also nominated in the veteran author section.  The link to vote can be found on our profile, and if you don’t vote for us, vote for someone.  There are some AMAZING writers, stories, banner makers and readers all nominated for awards. 
Be sure to check out our spook-tackular — Halloween 2013 One-Shot (This is our 3^rd year in a row doing a one-shot for Halloween,) it is called: Crushes, Canines & Clowns. 
Can’t wait to see what you all think of the two stories listed above, and please go vote.   
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~

Teaser: 

I lead her back to my car and we drive to another place where I can pick up the things that I need. I watch as Bella blushes and chuckles at the joke gifts the store has. I frown when I see that she has a bag, having bought something without showing me.

“What’s in the bag, Little Girl?” I ask trying to get the bag from her. But she’s quicker and hides it behind her back.

“It’s one of your Christmas gifts, Sir, and you can’t see it until Christmas morning.”

I chuckle shaking my head at her, knowing this will be fun for both of us in the long run.  “Oh, is that a fact, Little Girl? I could order you to show me, you know?”

Bella shakes her head at me. “Then your girl will tell tales to her Sir’s mom.”

My mouth drops open and I look at her, smiling internally, because she is willing to stroke the lion and play. “Is that so, Little Girl?”

Bella nods at me, but bites her lip.

“Well then, Little Girl, I may need to give you a spanking,” I say playfully to her.

“Your girl will take the spanking, Sir. Your girl really wants this present to be a surprise for her Sir.”

“Fair enough, let’s finish shopping.” I shake my head, watching her walk away from me. She looks over her shoulder and flicks her skirt a little showing her ass.  “Spanking it is then,” I say to myself before walking after her.

Well that is pretty much verbatim the reaction we were expecting.  We did have a reviewer or two who feels that Bella has been abused to limits of overkill and that Edward shouldn’t want to be with a kid.  I want to address this a little before things get blown out of proportion on this train of thought.  Showing the things Bella lives with and has lived with, is how we are showing her ways of adapting.  Bella has been severely neglected all her life.  She knows no other way.  Speaking from some experience on the matter, when you grow up in a household without both parents and you pretty much raise yourself, and get pushed aside for your parents needs can either make you or break you.  When you solely depend on yourself, you tend to learn to not react the way people normally would.  Bella’s childhood in this story is a lot like mine, in the place where I had no contact with my father at all from age of 6 to 16, who I then saw twice at age 16 and never again until I was 21.  My mom started dating when I was young, but when I was 9 she met a man who she chose to place before me.  By the time I was 12 I lived alone, she gave me the money to pay the bills.  So yes this stuff does happen.  I am by far not a perfect parent myself and I may be a single parent, but I am always here for my children.  I turned out okay, and with the exception of not being able to be in a healthy relationship I am not screwed up.  Edward in this story sees the good in Bella, and sees that she is more than she’s been made to believe she is.  Bella was made to grow up fast as a child.  She parented her mother for years.  She pushed away by the same mother she raised to go live with a father who resents her for choosing her mother over him.  Now we had some questions about waiting until Thanksgiving, and it will be Thanksgiving soon in the story.  Just a few more things have to happen first.  Be patient, everything in this story will happen for a reason.  We have had a great number of followers and reviewers for this story, so we do write one major reply and send to all, but we do try to answer all questions asked ... of course we don’t want to give away too much.  I do hope that this helped you understand a bit more about how and why Bella just lets things roll and adapts to what goes on.  You can always join us on Facebook at the group called TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  On behalf of Nikky and I, thank you for reading and reviewing.  It means a lot to us.  Kasi (&Nikky)

TEASER: I quickly snap a picture, before speaking to her.  “No, just a normal picture, but you can pose for me anytime you’d like.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her as I snap another picture of her.

I keep snapping pictures as we talk in my office.  I know I have a few that I can use, but I can’t seem to stop taking her picture.  

“I think that’s enough pictures of just me.  Come on, Edward. Why don’t you take one with the both of us?”

I take the camera away from my face, before grinning at her.  I walk over to the oversized comfy chair then sit.  Off to my left is the large stone fireplace, and the flames are casting their warmth on my feet.  Once I’m sitting, I pat my leg in motion for her to join me.  “Come on, Beautiful.”

Bella looks at me, then to my leg as she slowly stands and makes her way to me.  She glances at the arm of the chair and I shake my head at her.

“Please, Beautiful, just to take your picture. I swear I don’t bite.”

“Liar,” Bella chuckles, looking at me. 

I look at her and frown.

“Don’t give me that look Edward, I’ve seen your club and read the first two books you loaned me.  Plus, you look like the type of guy that likes to bite, at least a little.”

I chuckle nodding, because she’s right, I am a biter. “You’ve got me, dead to rights on that one, but I swear I won’t bite you ... today.”

Bella sits on my knee and I pull her back so she is flush with my front.  I raise my hand with the camera in front of us and snap away.  Slowly, I feel Bella relax in my arm and she drops her head to the side of my neck.  I take a few more, before kissing the side of her head.

WOW!  To say that we are blown away by the response this one-shot has gotten would be an understatement.  Over 130 reviews in a week between FFN and TWCS, is pretty amazing to us for a one-shot.  We do intend to add a bit more to this, however we are going to be wrapping up a few more lose ends first.  We have the Halloween story already posted, it is called Crushes, Canines & Clowns, it’s the third year we have written a Halloween story and we hope you like it.  Also Jess2002 has joined forces with us and we formed WeeJessAndTAT and our first story together is, If I Die Young.  We started the story in honor of our great fan-dom friend and pre-reader/beta, Savannavansmutsmut’s birthday and it started posting on her birthday Oct. 24th.  We also have a Christmas story coming out.  It will post either as a one-shot or two-shot, but I will say this, it is BIG.  Right now we are thinking it will be around 30K word count.  Ropin’ A Sitter, Epilogue will be posting on December 1st, as well as a Future take of, Bases Loaded by JessAndTAT and an all-new Novella by TeamAllTwilight, called, The Things That Make You Click.  We hope to see some of you checking out those titles and more to come in the future.  Lots of things to come, but have faith we will be adding to this.  I doubt it will be a full blown WIP, but it does have some more storyline within us that needs to come out.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Nikky & Kasi~
