Well, the first part of his inner musings confused me, because knowing how you sometimes skip periods of time, I wasn't sure at what point in time we were.

Hope Bella can see through his rudeness to the fact he was embarrassed and hit dignity took a blow. That was still pretty rude to say.

Poor baby!

Edward is so cute with all his inappropriateness!

Got to run!

Before I could ask her, she moved closer and her hand was on my neck. I wanted to put glue there, so her hands would get stuck and then she'd be forced to stay with her arms around me forever, but that seemed inappropriate and oddly awkward, to a huge extent that even I couldn't do it.

And then she kissed me, and I forgot to think about who was the man in the relationship.

I wondered if that was a prayer.

~~Edward, you are so funny! Loved this!

OK, I want to know what the secret is that Carlisle wants him to tell Bella. That was so neat that he was on his feet at the church. That would be so cool if one of Carlisle's treatments he found would work and he could walk again.

Wonder why Bella is so lost and melancholy. It's weird to think of Charlie as a preacher man!

Well, on for more!

Kat

ooh did he just tell her that he loved her? eek!

He should have more operations lol.

I can't believe I have caught up!

Can't wait for the next chapter, I need to know that she says to that!

Oh lord, I have to chuckle every time I hear him say 'Bella in my bed', it reminds me of that dog snack commercial for bacon strips. It's kind of a Pavlov response or something.

His inner comments are so sarcastic and so funny. And he is so acting like he's in middle school(what I teach)!

I a really loving this crazy story!

oh Edward, *sigh*. I want to give him a big hug and slap him at the same time!

Alice wants to try and be a family again and Bella just wants him to let her in. I hope his fall doesn't set them back!

loved that chapter.

mmhmm naughty Bella! Its always the quiet ones!

I love the way she explains social graces to him , so matter of factly. The are just perfect for each other.

Fab chapter.

OK, since when is back surgery like day surgery? I always thought it was a big deal to have any kind of invasive surgery around your spinal cord. What was the surgery even for? Usually they keep you at least for observation to make sure you don't run a fever. And changing the dressings? As much money as Edward and the Cullens have, you'd think they could afford a nurse to come in. Can you imagine trying to clean and tape down a dressing on your back where you can see? Gah, does not compute.

You did the part where he was so sick on the bathroom floor really well! Poor guy!

I was a bit surprised to find out his 'part' was fully functional with his paralysis. That's good though!

It's cute the way they talk about naughty parts, etc., makes it sound like they are about 8-10 years younger than they really are. hopefully their self-confidence will increase as they are more familiar and comfortable with each other.

Ooh Rosalie, do as Emmett says and cut him some slack!

I know she's just looking out for her friend, but he's trying.

Loved that chapter.

I love all the inappropriate things that enter his mind, I love it even more when they make it out of his mouth!

I hope he invites Alice to pizza night, they could do with some brother/sister bonding.

Really enjoying this fic. :)

I must say that this Edward is a bit more socially inept than most. It does make for slow going in the relationship development department. Good thing Bella's got a bit going on.

Beautiful and dreamy. I feel his fuckups and his neuroticisms. I taste the anesthesia.

And now I'm a little scared that you posted 11 chapters in 6 days and none since.

I really, really love this.

Gorgeous. Confessions and fear and physical intimacy. Edward is pushing his boundaries in so many ways. I'm proud of him and scared for him, too.

Ooh I love your Bella & Edward!

She is feisty & funny, he is cynical & vulnerable. I really like the interraction between the two of them.

Can't wait to read more.
