Poor Bella, what a prick Mike Newton was and probably still is. He deserves everything Edward can do. I realize I'm a vicious old woman, but that story made me nearly as sad as Bella and as angry as Edward. I hope this plan of his to have Bella get in touch with her dad goes well.

Both good and bad in this chapter, like the relationship between Edward and Bella. More ups and downs than a roller coaster. The making up must be worth the fighting and arguing, and they both seem to enjoy it. The phone call to Bella's dad was pretty tough, but she came through with flying colors. It made Edward's heart heal when he heard her tell her dad she was with the man she loves and always would be.

Perhaps not your typical first date, but a good one nevertheless. I know Edward wanted to slip that ring on Bella's finger and ask her for forever, but shit happens, especially with these two! It was priceless when she told him to go help the girl, knowing full well what that entailed.

Too cute ! I laughed all the way through it. I love how much Edward loves Bella and that he really would do anything to make her happy. 

What is there to say, beyond the obvious? Holy hotness, vampire man! Damn, that was the good stuff, now if only Edward would listen to his better self, and tell Bella how much he loves her and can't live without her, then we would have perfection.

That was one lame attempt at proposing, but as usual, they got mad at each other and everything turned out just fine. Edward can be such a blockhead, I almost want to call him Charlie Brown. But then , he sure does love his Bella! Loved this goofy chapter, too!

I'm afraid Edward may be getting his hopes up only to be disappointed. Sure as he moves them to New Jersey, Bella starts feeding from animals and his plans for her to eat humans is going right down the drain. He's just not having any luck having things go his way, at least with Bella and it's absolutely hilarious. Edward's inner dialogues are so damn funny I just can't help laughing, even when I probably shouldn't. Living in Edward's mind is nothing if not fascinating.

I would have popped him myself, if he hadn't kissed Angela. Who can resist unshed tears ? The date was really pretty nice and Edward behaved like a gentleman, even if he isn't one. Trevor Hall was a trip, he was so giddy with the donation, he was beside himself. I think Edward handled himself real well. Now, what devious little trick is he up to, with Bella in mind?

Edward seems to have no trouble spending money, to make Bella happy. Although why Edward  dating some other girl should make her happy, I have not a clue. If I had Mr. Gorgeous, hot as Hell vampire panting after me, damned if I would send him off to date somebody else. Bella may regret this , after she mulls it over.  It's so cute how Edward can't tell her no, regardless. Glad she finally got a clue and jumped on him, growling 'Mine' ! 

As soon as you wrote "a buck, a doe and a fawn", I knew Bella wasn't having venison for dinner, she's just too soft-hearted for that. The black bear now, that was more like it. It may not have been a perfect thing, but she did great for the first time and got the job done. The aftermath was pretty good, too, just what Edward was fantasizing, so I'm guessing there will be blood-licking soon!

Lemons are always good for you, must be all the vitamin C. Bella has to be the luckiest wife anywhere, and Edward the luckiest husband.

You don't have to beg for a review, as you richly deserve one; take a bow. Edward and Bella in love and making love, is purely a thing of beauty. They are everything and all things, to each other, and I love reading about them. Thank you much and keep writing.

Heavy stuff, beautiful, but heavy. Even vampires have baggage, I guess. You did a great job on this chapter and left me with a really good feeling about their future. Carry on, this is the good stuff.
