Still loving this Bella! Rosalie was certainly a surprise, didn't really expect that. So happy the Cullens are taking what Bella says to heart and starting to treat her the way they should have always treated her.  All in all- great chapter, keep it up!

Hey kkmomo3,

I'm so happy you're enjoying this Bella. Really? I heard a lot of people thought that was coming, I'm glad I surprised you and you liked it. Yeah they need to see her as an equal. 

Here is the teaser of ch 19 as promised it, breaking from the teaser trend of the last few chapters, this one is Edward’s POV:

 

““This morning, I tried being in control— it didn’t go over well. We fought and somehow came out the other side. It was like a release of tension…I guess…but I would rather keep the particulars private, if that is all right? I will say this morning started off rough, but then it got much better.” Then—heaven help, me it was involuntary, I swear—I thought of the kiss and smirked.

 

“Spill!” Emmett demanded once he saw my smirk. I rolled my eyes as he kept playing the smirk on loop in his mind.

 

“I don’t know what you are referring to?” I said, deciding to play dumb.

 

“Edward, you might be able to pull the wool over Emmett’s eyes easily, but I can plainly feel you emotions, or did you forget that?” Jasper asked. He was not going to go easy on me either after how I treated Alice.”

 

I hope you enjoyed the teaser. Thanks for not only reading but also giving me your feedback. I appreciate it more than you know.

 

Cheers,

Well i think if Bella and Edward r going to make it he needs to back her up!!! I think Bella needs to the girls night to remember that being a b*tch isn't the only way to be strong willed and maybe some conbination of Rose/ Alice/Esme can show her that. Can't wait to see the big discussion with Edward!!!

Author's Response:

Hey twihardacctant,

 thanks for the start rating.

 I think your right on all accounts.

The big discussion won't be until ch 20.

That is an evil cliffhanger. So evil, all I can take the time to say is another great chapter before I rush to read chapter 4

Author's Response:

Hey Missypooh,

LOL I know it was, be happy the next chapter is posted other people had to wait in between updates LOL :)

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.

Cheers,

~E

wow, hell did freeze over! LOL I still think Carlisle is being a touch ass holey. I don't like it. I did like Emmett, jasper and Rose in this chapter though, esp Rose. I liked her honesty and hope that Rose and Bella become closer than Alice. I still don't trust her. She is too controlling to change, I think. But I'll wait and see. Can't wait for more. :)

Author's Response:

Tracey,

LMAO. Thanks for the stars. No, C is just being a dr, he doesn't mean to be an ass, I'm sorry. Yeah Rose was great, I think they'll be good friends.

i like it...fianlly rational thought and communication!!

Author's Response:

Hey Gwilwillith,

 LOl yes rational is good.

Here is the teaser of ch 18 as promised it is Bella’s POV:

 

“Then, we went back to our incredible kiss. Just before it was time for me to catch my breath again, he pulled away. I mourned the loss of his lips instantly, and I’m sure my expression showed it because he said in between pants, “Sorry, love, but some of my family are home.”

 

Firstly, I had made him pant! He doesn’t even need to breathe, and I had him panting! I knew I was good, but hot damn, that gives a girl an ego boost. Secondly, my stomach dropped— the Cullens were home. They had seen me in a fairly bad state last night, and well, I didn’t know how to act. I’m sure they have a low opinion of me anyway. But I didn’t give a fuck, or so I told myself. Also, I didn’t want to see that judgmental demon pixie. I was still mad at Alice for being an overbearing bitch, and that had not changed. I could feel my back arching, and I fought to not turn into super bitch Bella, again—not yet anyway.”

 

I hope you enjoyed the teaser. Thank you for taking the time to not only read but also review this story, I appreciate it more than you know.

 

Happy New Year,

I am so happy that Edward is trying so hard to change!  All of these changes go against his nature so its impressive!  Loved the kiss and how new it was to him!  I hope they keep talking and moving forward, but I think Bella will end up drinking or druggung again for a set back!  Happy New Year!
