Oh, I am so happy that Bella is healing nicely. Protective-ward is so hot and I just love him! It's kind of funny that in this weakened condition Bella has more power over Edward than ever before, I'm glad he is not running away and shutting everyone out. So there was a brief moment of Cupid flying over the heads of Jasper and Alice showering them with hearts and flowers but then Alice had to go and ruin it by having a temper tantrum and spewing seriously hurtful words to her sister. I hope that in the next couple of days while Carlisle and Alice are in town, everyone can help Alice see the huge mistake she made and she will mend her relationship with Bella. The positive spin on what Alice did to Bella is that it helped solidify Bella as a true member of the family, because everyone rallied behind her. I'm actually surprised at Jasper's thoughts, considering he has been a huge proponent of following your heart, I didn't expect for him to choose Edward over Alice. I obviously don't think he's in love with Alice yet, but he has been so captivated by his girl in his dreams I expected him to be more smitten I guess. I really enjoyed the Charmin Ultra line and all the playful teasing Gopher dished out.

looking forward to this one!

Really great chapter. Alice was certainly surprising. I would love to hear more about Carlisle and Esme.

Ah they finally met! Oh Alice. She will come around. Nudgers always make things happen. Love that the gang is all together. Hopefully Bella and Alice get to take soon. Thanks for the update!

Lovely chapter!

Thank you.

Did not expect Alice to go super nova on Bella. Super chapter. The Charmin Ultra line was funny, so was the blow your mind joke..

great chapter...so i can that alice is uncomfortable with bella staying, but she cannot demand that bella gives up everything. i hope jasper can convince her otherwise...looking forward to the next chapter...

I knew Alice was his dream girl but I sure didn't expect her to be such a brat. Whit has his work cut out for him.

I think Whit has his work cut out for him with Alice. Damn she stubborn. I'm glad that Bella had no intentions of leaving the internship.

Loved it! Thanks for the update!

Great chapter! Now if everyone would just TALK to one another...

oh Alice you are so very wrong...

Oh Boy! It seems our dream couple has a ways to go before they get their HEA, too. Until Alice showed up, I forgot how much information Bella had kept from her. Thanks for the chapter! Loved it! :)

i so long for the updates of this i just love it so much! when i get it i read the previous chapter again just to basically prolong my fix!lol! then i read the new one but usually wait to read when i will have no interruptions! this was such a wonderful chapter. i love how edward just wanted to be by her side the whole time and his protectiveness! so frickin hot and endearing and well...just plain frickin sexy! and everyone else was so great too taking care of bella. i was soooo looking forward to alice and carlisle getting there but was a little pissed with alice. i get it tho but still doesn't mean i have to like it! as for esme and carlisle i do hope things quickly happen there...they would be so great together! and i do love jaspers way of thinking! mmhmmm can't wait for e&b to finally get those words out it will be absolutely awesome! love your work as always and can't wait for the next chapter and i just love them so nice n long just like edward...*cough*... and so full of goodness! lol!
