Bella is gonna have some explaining to do about Jake and I have a feeling Edward will be none to happy about it.  I still Jake will prove to be very useful.  Kind of reminds me of Wolf in The Clan of the Cave Bear Series.

So Bella has learned to mount and dismount a horse.  Lucky for her Alice likes her.  I do not think she'd be so lucky otherwise!

Sandra

Yay for Jake.  I just feel bad that they lost everything.  Well except Bella's journal.   It's so sad to the think that just like that ::snaps fingers:: everything can be gone.  I have no doubt that they will put it all back together and be the stronger for it.  Maybe Jake will even come back.

Sandra

It took me a minute to figure what you meant in your A/N.  Then I re-read the sentence...I don't care who you are that was funny.

Both couples are so cute and the men do not want to leave their women.  If nothing else about their being gone I do look forward to Angela's visit.

Sandra

Oh Mel, and things were going so well for Esme.  I can not fathom being older and being pregnant at a time when medical care was not so advanced.

Love the new house.  It is as if Edward has thought of everything.  Sounds like Bella will have all the newest "appliances".

Daisy Bell.  How pretty.  I am hoping Rose gets to go back to Emmett soon.  The comment about using a rope to birth their baby was cute.

I love the new house and all the surprises, furnishings if you may.  Bella is so lucky to have Angela there.  I feel bad that Esme can not be there with them as well. 

I keep getting lost in the end of the chapters and forget if I make mention of the first part....I love that Edward read Bella's writing and his reaction to said writing.  The love he feels for her, they for each other, is so very palpable throughout this story.  I love how they complete each other.

Don't you know that the story will be sold.  I can see a nice new piano in their nice new house with the procedes.

The trip into town for provisions and needed items made me laugh.  I could just picture Tyler shake his head mumbling about the women running him ragged.  And Bonnie was so happy and excited to be doing it.  And was Ben excited to get  chance to go fishing or what.  The more I read the more I love not only E/B and C/E but all the towns people.

Sandra

So I sit here, tears stream down my face, and there is nothing cheesey about the motherly grin I wear.  She did it.  She had the baby and they have a daughter.  Elizabeth.  I wonder what Rose will think of that name.

It was pretty evident that the time was near when Bella asked Edward if he thought the settee was comfortable.  I roared with that whole scenario.  I don't know how Angela hid her mirth so well, at least quietly.

Okay.  Bella and the Baby are fine.  Edward and Angela are there to take care of her.  You need to get Carlisle home now lickety split.  Esme should not be alone for too terribly long you know.

Sandra

Thank You for helping Esme and Carlisle have a fine, healthy son.  And for making sure that Bella and Edward arrived in time to help with the birth.

The gifts they exchanged were simple and conveyed the true meaning of Christmas.  The First Noel, too was perfect.  And as is winds down we have a sense of the peace and calm that always surrounds us on Christmas.

Here, Here.  Their family truly is complete.

Sandra

Oh wow Alice?  I thought it was Bella!  ::and with a smile and twinkle of my eye:: I have to wonder how many more surprises you will have for us!  In any event Alice or Bella I have a feeling I will enjoy this story!

mmmmmmm,hmmmmm ... and  that's all i have to say about that.

DOLLE ~ I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I ADMIRE ABOUT YOU IS I NEVER TRUELY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.  THIS CHAPTER WAS SO MUCH FUN TO READ!

WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FRANKIE THE TOOTH I AM ENVISIONING A TOOTH FAIRY WITH DENTAL FLOSS ... WELL YEA ... BUT IT REALLY WAS FUNNY AT THE TIME.

OH HONEY, IF HE THINKS THE BOOBS ARE THE PROMISED LAND WHAT'S HE GOING TO THINK OF THE SERIOUS BUSINESS? 

REFERING TO HIS RECEPTIONIST AS THE BEAST WAS QUITE AMUSING TOO!

I REALLY HAVE TO THANK YOU FOR THIS STORY.  THE CROSS BETWEEN SLAPSTICK AND HIGHBROW HUMOR TWISTED AS IT MAY BE IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A GUARD AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE SMILE...WHILE ON DUTY. 

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.  I SINCEREL HOPE YOU AND YOURS HAVE A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.

SANDRA

Dear LL ~

     Without fail when I turn my computer on I open email, open U tube on a new tab (for story song selection) followed by Twilighted on a 3rd tab.  Today when I opened you tube there on the opening screen was "Love Story"!  Go figure!

     I remember having seen your one shot and decided to read it.   Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful piece of fluff.  Stories like this remind me why I love fairy tales and HEAs.

     I am not a writer but I'd like to share a one shot song fiction with you.  It is one of the first pieces of fanfiction I ever read and I thought it was truly beautiful.  Since I can't post a direct  link here I've posted it in the forum in Gold Comes In Many Forms thread.  

I hope you enjoy! ~ Ms. Cope

Poor Bella!  The guys just won't leave her alone.  Or should I say poor Edward!  It's bad enough to hear the guys thoughts but to have to witness them asking Bella out over and over has to be wearing thin!

I've enjoyed this series of one shots immensely.   They have been light and well humored and sometimes that is exactly what a girl needs!

Sandra

very cute
