Ooh, it’s a bonus epilogue. I enjoyed this. Reading all the kids are grown up and living their lives. Kenna being the first of the five to get married. Seth sounded sweet. The speech was so sweet from Collin and Makenna. What a very lovely set of words to share there with everyone. Very fun chapter.

Have you ever heard the saying, to change the name and not the letter changes for worse and not the better? I wonder what saying applies to the whole last name? I would do a severe deep dive to make absolute sure they’re not actually related and just don’t know.

She really screwed both men over. So selfish of her. Makes you wonder if she even would’ve stayed with James after the divorce her and Edward spoke of went through. Or, would she run off free as a bird and never looking back or settling down again. One of those things they’ll never know. Very kind of him to come into the office and meet ahead of what could’ve been an awkward meeting room on site. I’m thinking his words may have helped Edward too. Even though when James did find out she was married, he kept seeing her. Though it was because she lied once again to him. I wonder if he was there at her funeral and nobody noticed because there were so many others there. Crunchy.

Why is Edward all alone? Where is Emmett if Rose is there and Claire is inside? Probably enjoying his own alone time in his quiet house, if he’s smart. I’ve no doubt Edward will be absolutely fine, as long as he watches the two boys who are apparently terrors. The older girls will watch the other younger ones.

Very fun chapter. The playfulness between them. Enjoyed this.

The fine points of the contract of the Boob Lease Agreement. Too funny. He a really good father. Very cute here.

Wonderful ending. I really liked them all going to their graves. Hard to believe it had only been a year. Kenna twirling about and oh so happy. Giving her love to her daddy. Emily lovingly whispering to her mom. Collin stoic with a side of trepidation. Kind of strange how Aro and Heidi bought eight plots. I really like the future take here. It gave us all a glimpse of what their life became. The additions of Charlotte and Riley was lovely. I hope they’re done. They’ve got five and this is more than plenty. Enjoyed this until Edward pissed me off. Then I got too mad at fictional characters. I’m so weird, I know. Thank you for sharing your imagination with us. ~ChristyWIX

What an amazing home to become available for them. It sounded wonderful, simply by her reaction to it. The yard, and Edward’s plans for it was great. I love Aro and Heidi making the decision and finding a home there in PA in the senior community. Then gifting them the play set from their yard was fantastic. Hope it wasn’t wanted by the family buying their house. Guess they’ll have to have one built, as I’m sure it was mentioned it wouldn’t be part of the sale. Well, now we know why Alice was freaking out so badly. She was stalling for time to let everyone get this all set up. Too funny. Especially her complete about face when her phone rang. Now, they need to get the Cullens over to PA and their whole families will be there. Wait, where do her parents live again? Further away, yet somewhere close enough to drive to is all I remember. Was it Seattle? Oh, it doesn’t matter, lol. I’m so happy he proposed before they moved in together. And he did it with his grandmother's ring, yay! Bella seeing both Jane and Alec and them being so happy and beautiful was something. Then to learn their mother saw the same thing. I wish Edward would’ve seen them too.

While I feel,they didn’t even crack the surface of what they needed to discuss, clearly they are quite happy and feel they’ve hashed everything out. I feel as though I missed a big chunk of something, but I definitely have read all the chapters all the way through, except the last one, but there wasn’t any conversation in the last one. I knew one or the other had seen Edward kiss Bella the night they’d left Aro and Heidi's house. I did not realize Edward had already spoken to them, without Bella present. Strange he’d make this choice without asking her. Oh wait . . . he’s established this is his m.o., sigh. I hope this is something he stops doing in the very near future. Speaking of, I’m glad he’s decided to let her come along to look at the homes he’s picked out before he decides. Also with the flashback about Jane wanting a flashy ring, I hope Edward took it back to the jewelers to sell it back to them. Proper jewelers often will buy back the stones they sold to them. I don’t thing Emily would be interested in the gaudy ring when she’s older. She doesn’t seem the type for flashy at all. I can see where Bella's ring will come from. If Edward isn’t to scared to present her with his grandmother’s ring after Jane’s response was less than stellar.

Nope, not interested in it right now, pass. Thought three quarters of the way in they’d have a conversation they desperately need, but no.

I knew he’d follow her home and let himself in. Never doubted it. They only scratched the surface of everything they need to talk about. Figures he heard her speaking in her dream the night of their first time. Also, figures he thought he knew exactly everything from the few words coming out of her mouth. Then has the audacity to get pissy and not talk to her for the week. She’d begged him, how many times, to talk to her. He chose not to. Noooo, no making love right now. They still have way too much to talk about. Grrr, they were just starting to talk. I want more talking this crap out so they can fix it all. I don’t want them in freaking bed. Or, the couch, in this case. Nope, not interested.

Bella was brilliant through this whole chapter. I’m so happy she let it rip with him and very calmly, yet passionately told him exactly what she thought of all this crap. I was so mad when she saw the house photos. The business space is one thing, even though I do not know how they could possibly move forward business wise with this. She would have to sign off on it completely, before hand, as she is partial owner. Aro and Edward would both need Bella's okay on anything having to do with the business before they could sign a thing. I already spoke my mind about him choosing a home without her input. Foolish idiot. When she finally got away, from the completely unnecessary Tanya scene, she wanted to be alone and he was having none of it. Then she was thinking about all the things she wanted to do, but wasn’t going to because he was being a misogynistic caveman. Thankfully, she got over all of it and managed to escape anyway. This hour drive home will do wonders to set her mind back right. Once he gets there, as I know he’s following her, they can have the conversation..interesting how he’s all, ‘I need time alone' and won’t speak to her no matter how many times she attempted to earlier in the week. Yet, she now asks him for the same courtesy and he’s noping out. Not cool, these double standards. I know they need to talk, but it is kind of fucked up how he’s not okay with her needing a minute, when he’s been doing this behind her back for what turns out to weeks now. Not just this past week. He needs his own therapy. He’s not okay. These actions are not okay.

Interesting how Carmen, Alice and Rose all said she should remain calm and talk to him. Why? She deserves to yell at first and speak her mind. They can be calm and rational after she gets what she needs to say off her chest. Well, in Alice’s case, she was for Bella yelling at him too, at first. I definitely think she’s pregnant. Loved when Rose called her Moody McSwingerson, as you made me laugh because it certainly fit. Wonder why Jasper was so against in vitro. Kind of strange. Though I think it’ll be a moot point now. Edward is definitely unhappy to see Bella with the body language he just presented. Hopefully, Bree will catch a hint and pick up her things and leave. Though if she’s got her sights set on Edward after the week they’ve spent together, even if she catches the hint, she won’t leave. We’ll see.

Had I not read the 'idiot' outtake, I would’ve been just as blindsided as Bella here with Aro's news. I hope when Aro said realtor he meant for the new offices and not a home. If Edward cared at all about Bella and a possible future, he wouldn’t dare look for a new house without her input. He couldn’t be this stupid, right? Well, with his actions this past week, I’m guessing he can, and has been, this stupid already. I have to give Aro credit here with broaching the subject about her and Edward. Brave man to ask about it when she was already upset. He could’ve upset her far more, but instead he said the right things. I’m glad Aro and Heidi are on board with them being together. They didn’t need to be, but I’m glad they’re seeing what everyone else in the family has so far. They make sense. They understand one another. They’ve suffered the same loss together. They’ve grown past it together. Plus, I’m quite sure Aro and Heidi realized how beneficial it is to have these two together, for the sake of their grandchildren and no new spouses to have sway on potentially moving far away. Why couldn’t Aro and Heidi move closer to Port Angeles? Jake is partially running the show from where he is there in Forks. Edward will still be doing the same, but only from Port Angeles. They’ve got to hire more project managers to help both Edward and Jake. They’d already needed this when Alec was still alive. Then Aro can go back to retirement and they could potentially live in PA.

I’m so glad she’s getting pissed off with Edward pulling this crap on her. I’m very pleasantly surprised at Jake being encouraging towards her being with Edward. Reiterating a few times, Alec would be happy if she’s happy. Even pointing out the reminder to her of this chapter's flashback. Clearly Jane was already tapped out of the relationship by this time. Most likely sooner even. I’m on the fence about Jacob telling her to go to him and demand he speak with her. On the one side, I really wanted her to come to this decision on her own. To finally be pissed off enough, she confronted him and gave her a piece of her mind. On the other side, she wasn’t going to get there on her own. Jake firing her up and making her go, definitely is working. I hope she rips into him first, then lets him speak. I love how Rachel is with Collin and Kenna. Collin seems to be mesmerized by her. Cute. Seems Collin may not be the only one mesmerized either. Go Jake.
