Edward wasn't the only guy that Tanya was messing with.  If she's pregnant, then I believe it was done with premeditation.  I just hate the thought of both Edward and Bella being tied to Tanya in this way.  But I can only see their relationship getting stronger, especially if they continue to choose to be together through every hard challenge.  This is going to really stretch Bella, but she's got to know she's stronger than she gives herself credit for.

Was Tanya messing around or was this truly a mistake? I'd love to hear your take after you read the outtake. I'm so glad you're happy that B&E are working this out and staying strong and together through everything. 

Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!

I just started this story yesterday so I'm caught up now. I guess some people forget that condoms or any OTC birth control are not 100%. I found myself pregnant w/ my 3rd child despite using contraceptives. I freaked out & didn't want the child until my husband & I had several discussions & finally decided that we would keep the baby.

I'm interested to see if Tanya is truly being honest or just trying to get revenge.

I'm also interested to see when Bella opens up & tells Edward ALL her past.

Author's Response:

Yeah, birth control can be a tricky thing; it's going to be very interesting and fun to see what Tanya has planned next - is she truly evil or is this just something that happened?

I don't think Edward is going to give Bella much of a choice soon - I think he's going to convince her to come clean very soon. :)

Thanks so much for reading (and in two days!) and reviewing! :) 

Holy Freakin Hale! I can't believe that Tanya was being a bitch like that in front of Edward's family! Seriously the girl is to self centered. I am glad Edward broke up with her as he needed to get the hell out of that relationship. Alice is a devious lil pixie and I love her all the more for it...

Hmmm what in the hell happened to Edward? Did the man have an epiphany?

The fight scene in the kitchen was just to funny. Bella is one stubborn girl...you'd have thougtht Jacob would have learned that by now...lol

While I am glad they met...both need to figure a few things out. First and foremost is if Edward is still with Tanya he needs to drop her like a bad habit...cringe...still sick thinking about it.

Poor Bella has so much to deal with, I hope she opens up to someone soon.

*tears fall for our broken Bella* I feel so badly for her. I could just lay into Joe for his ill timed breakup...god lord how could that man be so cruel.

Wow...Bella has been thru so much. I am glad for the setup as it lets me see into Bella a bit better and know what's going on in her head. I am sad that she is experiencing so much pain. I hope it passes.

i just spent part of last night and today reading.  ok what is up with tanya?? i cant wait to see where this goes and how it all plays out. 

I know there's more to read after this chapter, but I really wanted to comment on this. You have Bella pushing back when Alice is getting pushy, which I really liked, but then you had everyone gang up on her telling her how she feels and what she should do about it. This is very uncool. Bella is *not* in a good place right now. She should not be expected to make someone else happy before she's able to make herself happy. And it's perfect reasonable, in fact a really *good* idea, for her to have a job and not be so dependent on everyone else before she starts a relationship, because that would go a long way to making her happy and giving her stability.

This kind of thing just drives me nuts when Bella starts out strong and then caves to make everyone else happy. I know it's a writing tool to develop a reluctant Bella and get the story line moving, but it makes for a weak character, and a predictability redundant story.

That being said, I do like this story. Thanks for writing and be well.

Author's Response:

Thanks for your review. I'll respectfully disagree with your assessment of this chapter, but I can also understand where you may have gotten that impression of Bella and of what Jake and Alice did. I think Bella explains her actions to Edward in a subsequent chapter that might show what was going on in her mind a bit better.  That being said, as a writer, I know what I was trying to get at in this chapter and your review reminded me that I may have to work more on conveying that vision to the readers of this story. While I do hope you continue to read and enjoy, I understand if you don't want to continue with a story that may strike you as predictable and redundant. 

Thank you again for your review and letting me know your thoughts. :) 

I did not see that coming. I hope that Tanya is lying.

Author's Response:

Me too! :) 

Thanks for reading and reviewing!! 

Wow! I knew the shit was going to hit that fan, but that wasn't what I saw coming. Very well done.

Author's Response:

Yeah, it's going to be messy for awhile. I'm so glad you liked the chapter. :) 

Thanks for reading and reviewing!! :)

OOOH! What an interesting turn of events. I can't wait to see how this plays out!
