Nyomi ~

OMFE!  Yes, you heard me right!  At this very moment I am teetering between absolute giddiness and fear of the unknown. 

I loved the time we got to spend with Edward and his family in this chapter.  The carefree camaraderie of the group let us see first hand the love among the family members.  I am even more excited for that camping trip now.  But most of all I love your depiction of Edward the father.  Yeah, I have a real soft spot for daddyward.

The ust in this chapter is undeniable.  Edward has it bad, really, really bad, at least he did.  We knew that sooner or later he would have to make the "Bella? Marie?" connection but in all honesty I never expected it to be this easy.  So here I sit in awe with a dash of trepidation.   Two Beatles songs play with the recesses of my mind ~ Hide Your Love Away and I've Just Seen A Face ~ well okay maybe Norwegian Wood is in the mix also.  The point is this next chapter will be pivotal.  Are Bella and Edward and Henry ready to ride off into the sunset as a happy family yet?  Will she go on the much anticipated camping trip?  Will he confront her?  Fire her?  How will he explain that one to Rose and to his family or worse yet how will Henry react?  So many scenarios. 

I will most likely already be out of town (until mid December) when the next chapter posts.  In the meantime I have this sudden urge to listen to Beatles music as I contemplate.....

PS ~ I did not know how to fit this into the flow of my review but I want to add that Emmett's love for his nephew touched my heart.  Brief as the gesture was it was obvious.  I keep waiting for a Rosalie/Emmett connection in this story and hope this may be a glimpse of what is to come.

Thinking back to the last chapter and the R/B convo about the consorts being with others and the whole part of the education answer that Rose gives brings a whole new light to the experience.  Having been together how will either (Edward or Bella) be able to be with another? 

You've got that right, Edward is indeed so fucked!  He really has it bad for the beautiful brown eyed Betty.  If he feels like this now how is he going to react when she is with another escort?  The other thing is how will these feelings carry over when he is with another Betty?  It is as if this story is starting all over again and I can't wait to read more.

Sandra

Well don't I feel like a voyeur.  I feel like you've introduced me to a whole new world and I am so ready to read more.

Whoa.  Perhaps Edward is going to find what he is looking for in Bella.  I really like his introduction.  Jasper's too. 

I am looking forward to more information on the "rules".  I mean are consorts expected to be with all of the Betties.  And would that hold true for the girls as well?  Is it possible the either or could find "the one" the first time out.  This world you have created is all so fascinating.

Will you think less of me if I tell you that Mike's garb reminds me of a male stripper getup?  But when you factor in his personality it is perfect for him.  Jake is, well let me just say I don't know that I have read another Jake that is fantasy worthy.  And Seth, well that man has my attention.  So if I feel this way about Jake and Seth I can only imagine the effect that Edward is going to have on me.  Yep, I'm already fanning myself.

Sandra

OMG!  I love this!  If there is another story like this out there I have not read it.  It is as if you have created a whole new fantasy world and the exploration should be fun. 

Rosalie is very likeable so that is a plus.  And Emmett, well that man is always likeable.  Can't wait to read more about tonights party and how each of the girls fare.

Bella was actually quite teasing in her own way as she certainly had their attention.  I pretty much guffawed at two of the lines between Seth and Jake ...

"Dude, she's moving," Seth whispered ..."

"Fuck it's about time," Jake grumbled.  "I feel like I've been watching water boil."

I did go to your ff acct page to check out your blog.   I even checked out The Official Fans of Fan iction Forum.  What an interesting site that is.  I am going to want to go back and spend more time there.  Thank You.

Whew.  That damn James is a real piece of work.  I feel bad for Edward but he is running too hot and cold at the moment.  I really wish she would have seen him for his sake but I understand that it is just too much for her right now.   Sooner or late they have to get it together.  In the meantime I plan to enjoy the story every step of the way.

And congratulations with your contract.  Looking forward to more on that too!

Guess we knew all along that sooner or later a little rain had to fall.  But James?  Girl he is such an evil mofo.  Guess no one need ask if he likes it rough or not.  Fortunately Jacob and co showed up when they did and pulled the scum off.  Guess he earned a few points, huh?!! 

Edward's reaction was rather interesting.  It's not like he is off sneaking behind anyone's back.  And as much as I want the two of them together I know it will not happen anytime soon.  It simply is what it is.  Leaving is not the answer and perhaps Jacob will provide the distraction that Bella needs, my fingers are crossed anyway.  Edward on the other hand is not going to be happy with this turn of events.  I am quite excited to see how all of this will turn out.

Congratulations on your story.  I sincerely hope you will keep us  informed to the status.

I LOVE THIS BELLA!  And her chemistry with Edward is the BEST. 

So it seems Edward is going to throw all caution to the wind and try again.  I wonder if he will be able to be with any other than Bella.  And Bella?  Will she be able to be with another?

Love this story.

Ah, Edward, foolish as he is really cares for her.  Will he ever e able to be with another?  And how far will things go with Jacob and Bella?  I just can't see her with anyone else.   It may take awhile but these two are going to find one another.
