I realize that I forgot to do a "Next Chapter..." bit at the end of Chapter Eleven. Whoops.

We pick back up in November 2005, and it's the day following Bella learning from Carlisle about his two vigilante family members.

Edward and Rosalie have firmed up their plans to visit during Thanksgiving, and the decision sparks in Alice the vision that she has been missing: what will happen the first time Edward sees ~coughsmellscough~ Bella.

I've been highly supportive of an author just posting on the fanfiction.net site with some Bella/Carlisle stories. I happened to come across the description of this one shot and it interested me enough to read it.

It's another New Moon Carlisle's office scene, and it's not very long, but it is very solid. Yes, Bella is hormonal, and yes Carlisle helps her to resolve it, but there is so much more to it than that. It was one of those very rare stories that I liked the more I thought about it. The author gives Bella a strength that works for me, as I prefer to see Bella strong rather than broken. Everyone will take something different away from anything they read, so take a couple moments to take something away from this one.
