Wow!  I had forgotten about Victoria.  Amazing that the half-siblings wreaked so much havoc on the family

Love Love Love Bella setting him straight!  I'm not looking forward to the separation but I can see how it can only make the reunion that much sweeter.  Wonderful story.  I love the big extended family because you're right family is not just about blood it's about bonds.  Looking forward to your update. :)

Have to say its about time she swatted him back.  Surely 15 years of wallowing is enough.  Actions speak far louder than words, and its time he quit saying and started doing.

hello! would love the outtake, i have been reading and following on my phone and it wont let me leave reviews! would love the extras though! thanks

Yes Edward got some. They had a nice talk.

I see so many little big things that give away the special spot in your heart for "U&U" and "U&UD"(from what i've gotten to read). And I dread the drama ahead in the huge amount of chapters i have left to read. Please tell me if there are dramatic similarities to the two fics i mentioned? 

I'm a huge fan of your O.C. Henry and the two stories where he and his Anna are key players as well as Downward Spiral. U&U,and more so U&UD, are a little too spicy for my tastes (I'm a closet E/B gal and always root for a HEA for those two)

PS. Have you conssidered softening Edward's granddaughter's midle name over in FMR?

Great to see Bella putting her foot down. Can't wait for the relationship to progress. Thanks for the update

Lovely as always.

Great chapter! I'm glad Bella was able to finally get some of her emotions out and set Edward straight. Hopefully they will finally be able to move past some of their issues and Edward will learn to finally let some things in the past just stay in the past. Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Awe, Emmett must have found it !

Great double date for Edward/Bella and Jake/Leah.  Jake giving Edward a second chance, but still letting him know I'm watching ya -- fly straight, or else.  Thoroughly enjoyed the football game, especially the excitement of Bella being able to actually see it.  Nice of Jake to leave Bella/Edward alone during half time for them to get some rest.  Since both of them are recovering from surgery.  Really liked the bantering back and forth amongst all of the characters.  Embarrassment of Jake with the college girls hitting on him.  Bella's cougar comment and then her indecision of which guy kissed better Edward or drunken college guy.  Come on we all know it's Edward.  I'm with drunken sorority girl, if Bella's not sure about Edward I'll take him too. Emmett and his wicked sense of humor.  My goodnes, Em, your brother just came back from the dead.  Look at the tortur you're putting on him.  Red satin sheets with black ropes tied from each of the four posters of his bed.  Skimpy sleeping attire for Bella in one room, black boots in another, sex toys in the bathroom including flavored oils, and the final kicker Edward's present to Bella, her bracelet.  The bracelet they discussed was his letting go element as they are going through Bella's book.  Edward has it back just in time to completely give Bdella all of his heart.  I'd still kill Emmett for the embarrassment.  Poor Edward wants to do it right and everyone including Bella are pushing him to just go for it now.  It feels right, it's comfortable, just do it.  At least that's the vibe I'm picking up from Biella.  She's not holding back, she's ready to move forward and let the cards and fallout lay.  Carlie's ready for her parents to be together.  I think when Edward is feeling his full strength again, he should be allowed one punch to Emmett with no repercussions about the redecorating of his bedroom, Bella's bedroom, the bathroom, and the outdoor patio.

I was wondering when Emmett was going to give E the bracelet.
