I'm working on a chapter where Bella, Edward, and the rest of the Cullens tell Charlie everything. It's not quite right yet, but the third chapter will make more sense knowing Charlie finds out.

I want these moments between Edward and Bella to be natural, to feel as though the things they never talked about are coming up in their marriage. But this time, they address these issues together and with candor...and maybe they have a little bit of fun while they're at it.

While I cherish SM and the original books, having to cater to a YA audience made it hard for Bella and Edward to talk about certain things in their relationship. The rest of these chapters will continue to explore and heal those wounds.

Thanks, everyone! I hope you enjoy. And if you have any ideas for future chapters-let me know. I'm working on a pre-breaking dawn fic about "practicing" right now. I know there are a lot of those out there, but I want to bring a little something different to it. Refocus the story so that Bella and Edward can truly talk it out.
