Poor Bella can't catch a break. One minute she thinks things are finally working out and the next everything is falling to shambles again. I was wondering how Carlie was going to take Demetri coming into the picture, obviously not as well as hoped. Can I say that recital is going to be crazy. 

I also loved Rose's point of view. I can see her becoming good friends with Bella and in turn Emmett getting back in her good graces easier than the other's. I can't wait to see what you have planned next.

As angry as I am with Edward and all the asshat Cullens, I still would like to see Edward and Bella together(Yeah, I know-me and everyine else), so I am with crying with Carlie 

The treatment given to Bella was horrible.  Even her phone calls to Edward about being an emergency.  Couldn't believe he didn't give her a chance to talk with him.  Alice pushing her down the stairs. Totally unacceptable behavior for any type of fault or betrayal in her mind.  Most of them didn't want to give her a chance to say anything in her defense.  Carlie was right how could Edward love her so much and not trust her.  Or give her an opportunity to give answers to what went wrong.  Bella has no idea what went wrong.  Everything one day was great and the next her whole world was destroyed and devastated.  Since Bella didn't know the prior experience in Seattle with Alice and Edward, she couldn't have understood the problem with trust issues.  Edward believing Tanya without even thinking clearly about Bella.  His judgement on people surely was askewed. Edward couldn't feel any worse than he does already.  I commend him for giving Carlie the entire story from beginning.  Knowing he might lose Carlie when she learns of his behavior to Bella prior to her birth.  The honesty of not knowing about her existence was true.  I suspected with the messages Bellal was leaving on his phone, email, etc... Carlie is giving the family a chance, but internal anger at them for treatment of her mother.  Jacob is her father physically/emotionally.  He was there since her birth.  Bella and Jacob are both under the impression that the Cullens were aware of Bella's pregnancy and left her to her own devices.  Cullens weren't like that.  Family is family.  Edward should have searched for Bella immediately after Tanya admitted her lies.  It was too late and no excuse for his behavior, but he would have been involved with Carlie a lot earlier and Bella wouldn't be so closed.  This game with Demetri isn't going to work.  It's going to backfire on Bella.  She's still in love with Edward.  Her dreams are a dead giveaway. I foresee more heartache for Edward with this game of Demetri and Bella. Carlie's actually on her dad's side it appears. Looking forward to future chapters.

You know there has to be some angst...  Edward has to learn the folly of his ways.

I'm sending Rose outtake to you directly.

A very good read!!! The anticipation is killing me! Excellent writing!

Author's Response:

Bella's side up next, and I hope soon.  I'm just waiting on the beta to send it back.   :)

For now, I'll send Rose to you directly. 

Many important things in this chapter, first the so anticipated meeting between Ed, B and D, it is save to say that Jelousward is going to appear a lot in the  next chapters. Second, of course the fact that Carlie is willing to be team Edward in this history I wonder if that is going to change when she learns all the truth about what he did to her mother. And last of course the fact that Bella and the Cullens have their first encounter outside the lawyers office. I´m not going to lie I dont see that one coming. Anyway, great chapter as always, the only bad thing is the waiting until the next one.

Yeah - your writing is so clear and wonderful - LOVED hearing the different POV's - can't wait for "rubble" that I just know is coming - by far my FAV story of yours and that's just a side note as ALL of your stories are wonderful - thanks for the great read!  

Gets better and better... ;-)

Author's Response:

SO glad you are liking it!  I hope to have the next one tonight or tomorrow at the latest!

For now, I'll send Rose to you.

Love it! 

I am so enjoying your story - I love the character interaction in this chapter :). I espeically like the Esme bits and the Alice/Bella intervals. Its nice to see a pleasent representation of Rosalie in a fanfic , she is so often depicted in an ill light .looking forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response:

Well, I hope you'll grow to love them all, but I'm glad you like Rosalie.  I'm sending you her outtake directly.

Loving the outtakes as much as the story. Especially Jaspers feelings on the subject.

Wonderful! Bella let her defenses down just a bit. But is she actually going to pretend to be with Demetri to Carlie? I am not sure she would lie to her daughter like that. Can't wait for the next update!

Author's Response:

More to come soon, I hope to have back the next chapter back from the beta tonight! ;)

For now, Rose sent to you directly.
