Finally............it seems like they are connecting more. Hopefully this will even out all the angst for a little while.

Something to add to my review...
Every time Bella calls Grace "my daughter" or "my child" I melt into the floor.
Can't wait for the next chapter!

Chap 60 review
Baby, look at me." His fingers make me. "You really think I don't love you?"
Stupid fucking eyes. "Do you?"
His face can't believe my words. "Don't I?" He sighs. "Why else would I put up with your shit?
-This right here really resonated with me. Because quite frankly there's no other reason why my partner would put up with my shit.
"You want to know something. Bella?" I nod. "I think this is the most significant, serious conversation I have ever had…while having cum in my pants."
*snort* - That's all I've got for that one. Actually, I also want to add that I miss hot make out sessions like the one they had!
The holding of each other at the end of the chapter and him saying that was what he was most looking forward to? Yeah, that made my heart burst with more love for your writing *sigh*

Chapter 60 Oh, yes! This was one magic chapter. Everyone is finally starting to heal.
I loved seeing how the relationship between Jacob and Emmett evolves. They help each other heal, as Emmett becomes the roll model that Jacob never had and that Emmett never thought he could be.
Edward's anger and insecurity in the beginning of this chapter were justified, but I loved how both he and Bella found a way to communicate in the end, even with the Mike hurdle in their way.
I was so moved by her confession that she was the one to take Grace's blanket, which caused Edward to realize that she's always cared about her daughter, even when she did a shitty job at showing it.
I was also moved to see what Edward thought of her place: that it was her. She was finally living in a home she'd made for herself.
And the conversation that followed after their date was just perfect! I so loved it that Edward told her the part of the evening he was looking for the most was just lying in her arms! Beautiful!

You know, it's a testament to your skill how you can skip over blocks of time and the story still flows. Thank you for this chapter, I needed the light. I have lots of questions, but for now, I just want to thank you. You kept it real.

I am still in the clouds! <3 <3 <3 "I just want to kiss the shit out of you." I'm just going to think in happy fragments from now on. Cullen's eyes. Bella's shaky chin. Cullen's lips. Curled up in a smile. <3 <3

First let me say Dani you are amazingly talented and your story is beyond incredible. I got the rec off the Fictionators blog last week and have been completely captivated since. Thank you for sharing it with us all! Now, I gotta say I'm a little confused by all the people dumping on Edward...He's been so, so good to her. He tried to be there for her in so many different ways and I think he would have continued to be there for her had she not done everything in her power to push him away. Even then I think he would have continued taking her her crap if he didn't need to focus on being a new (single) parent with the added weight of Grace's medical condition. He was then supposed to deal with Bella's constant emotional roller coaster and her emotional and verbal abuse toward him as well? He wanted her to be in his and Grace's life but only if she agreed to counseling and staying sober. I don't think that's too much to ask. After he gave her the 'ultimatum' if that's what it was and was at his total wit's end and she continued to regress to her old ways (using sex as a defense mechanism, partying, etc) I think he just had it. I read a post earlier that said something like it wasn't healthy anymore. I completely agree, it wasn't healthy for him or Bella to continue being her punching bag. He needed to take a step back and let her help herself. He knew he couldn't make her, she had to want it. She stopped contact with him as stated in Ch 60, for understandable reasons, but he still has a right to be hurt. Even when she shows up out of the blue a year later he welcomed her back without hesitation. Sure his anger showed through a few times but Christ the guy is only human (who has been hurt multiple times by the two women he loved beyond reason on top of deep rooted abandonment issues and feelings of inadequacy thanks to his biological mother, Tanya and Bella). Bella should be thankful he loves her so unconditionally, not many people have that ability. And I certainly don't think Edward owes Bella anything especially concerning Grace. He's been there loving and taking care of her daughter when she wasn't fit to. Not to mention there probably wouldn't even be a Grace had Edward not stepped in and helped Bella the way he did. Thankfully they both are letting the past go and trying to have a fresh start together...that's true love right there. I'm proud that Bella got herself together and it means so much more that she did it herself. She gets to own that, now no one can doubt her and give all the credit to Edward. I so hope someone points that out to Alice, along with the fact that she paid her own way! Take that Saint Alice! Speaking of holier than though people, are we going to get to see Kate again sometime? Cause that would be so sweet for them to run into her with their happy little family! Happiness is the best revenge and all that Thanks again Dani!
