Emmett the ordained...aye mia. Very well done! A good mix of humour and fluff. I loved it. :)

wonderful chapter! i like that bella stood up to rose and alice about the hair. i also agree with the sentiment that a girl can have enough clothes though, so its easy to agree with bella on that point.

it seems like the boys are all decided on bella staying. i hope that's the case!

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hadn't been expecting that plot twist at all! I mean seriously, when does Bella get some solid happiness in her life...WHEN??? I mean, her luck can't be THIS BAD forever, right? RIGHT?!?!

I would be sobbing on my knees as well. Five years is a long time, but not so long that I would lose hope (much like Bella). Unfortunately, both Bella and I are beyond grief that the Cullens are not still "home"...

I'm glad you're on a crazy writing frenzy, because I can't wait to read the next chapter!

i like that this chapter was from multiple perspectives. i don't like tanya or james being there. i can't wait for bella and esme to reunite. good job!

Wow, Bella's time in England was truly horrid! I'm glad she's back with the Cullen's, but I recognize that there will still be some time to transition for her. I'm excited to see what happens now, moving forward, with the Cullens moving in and helping her recover and readjust.

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiit....wow, what an intense chapter at the end! Oh please oh please let it be Rosalie coming to kick the crap out of James!!

Tanya is a whoer. I'm so over her. Can you write her out soon, please? K thanks.

Nicely done! I like this last bit with the list of who asked what questions and the reasoning behind it. Very clever.

I hadn't even heard of half of these, but I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Good times.

Excellent chapter! It feels like everything might soon be coming to a head. I'm concerned that Alice is going to be staying with them during that particular timeframe given her current condition, and it's somewhat irksome that Edward is still being so distant. But Emmett makes some valid points...Bella is a wanted woman. After the Volturi know that she's still alive, her and anyone else she associates with are moving targets - that puts his entire family in the line of fire if the Volturi make the association. And Edward can't leave his family and his life behind to enter protective hiding with Bella...or could he? Would he need to? These are the questions I can't wait to learn the answers to!

Hello! I'm still reading! This is one of the few stories that I still remember all the details to so that every chapter I don't have to go back and re-read everything...because you do such a good job weaving each chapter together that I don't leave off like, 'what just happened?' but instead with, 'I can't wait to see what happens next!' It might be a subtle difference, but it's a difference all the same. :) I'm really pleased with this chapter especially because Edward let's down his careful control and gives into the passion both he and Bella are feeling...how could he ever doubt that she has the same feelings toward him??? Ahh. Silly Edward.

I am still very worried about the Volturi and their connection with the Occhi. Eek. I hope Edward doesn't do something to compromise his or Bella's safety without consulting with his bro.

ahhh!!! Oh my goodness, what a chapter! so much emotion and turmoil. I understand Bella's decision, and I think she's taking the best route. But where will it lead her from here?

Holy moly, another amazing chapter! I have been somewhat removed from the fanfiction universe for a little while now, but I always come back when I see an update for this story - it keeps me on the edge of my seat! I love that the car was named Renee, I like twist with Jenks, and I still hate Volterra more than anything. Poor Edward - Spray n Wash cannot feel good when sprayed in the eyes. :(

Interesting concept. I was totally thinking of the Lake House but I couldn't remember the title, so I'm glad you plugged it in for me. Nice job with the lemon. Not too much, not too little. :)
