LOVED!
I knew ROY was Bella's biological father .. and my heart sure does hurt for Charlie having to forfeit is rights to Bella being his daughter :( ... I wish that didn't have to change. I would have thought that the DNA evidence was enough when it comes to inheritance etc?
I just hope that Bella doesn't get lost in being Royce's daughter and forget about her Dad. But this gives me hope that it won't. *** "Bella, we both know you can," he admits sadly. "But that's the difference. I won't." ***
**"It doesn't change anything between us. You know that I love you. You will always be Dad to me and Grandpa Swan to the twins,"*** .. Was Charlie always going to be known as Grandpa Swan? Or is it just because Royce is now in the picture he is automatically going to be called Grandpa?
I LOVE that Esme is going to divorce Carlisle .. and I do hope she finds what she is looking for in life, that woman sure does deserve it! I think once it's announced that Bella is a King, Carlisle will reappear!
Leah and Jason, I am so down for that! LOL
LOVED and so cannot wait for more Xx

Yay, Leah’s here!
Roy, you ARE the father! I think they’re both excited to explore this relationship between them.
I can’t believe we only have 4 chapters left!

A lot going on here and many changes. I feel very sad for Charlie. He’s been Bella’s father her whole life, and in a blink of an eye they all expect him to just renounce his legal right to that because it’s what the sperm donor expects. Can’t say I know many loving fathers who would do that. Roy has his DNA evidence that Bella is his biological daughter, that should be enough for everyone, including lawyers and inheritance entitlements.
I’m surprised Bella seems to assume all the King family will be overjoyed that Roy will be announcing her as his biological daughter - brother, cousin, grandmother and more. Will they be as openly happy as she seems to be? In such wealthy families another to inherit is rarely something to celebrate. And inviting them all to the wedding reception just seems weird to me. *shrugs*
Jason and Leah, now that’s a great surprise. I love the idea of them.
Congratulations on your own news, exciting times ahead for you. I’m sure 1st August will be here soon enough, all the very best! :)

I appreciate how Edward, Roy, Renee and Charlie are all being so supportive of Bella and easing her into the knowledge of her biological father. And she is returning that support and kindness to them. She is also so friendly and supportive of everyone she meets that works in King Tower. Bella is more interested in new family members that she can bond with than any money or inheritance. Her little pumpkins will have a few new relatives. :)
Esme's divorce filing doesn't surprise me. Carlisle really left her no choice.
I love the idea of Jason and Leah together. Fate works in mysterious ways. Thannks for writing and sharing.

What an amazing chapter. We all kind of figured out he was her biological father. It was very nice to have it confirmed here. I really like how he himself figured it out just mere weeks earlier. The background check showing Renée and him wondering enough to start the testing. Interesting he suspected earlier though. Didn’t see this part coming. Merely from photographs and her demeanor. Just like Bonnie put it together for Bella, Royce figured it out nearly the same way too. When he was speaking to her, late at night before Edward arrived there, I wondered how perfect he and Esme might be for one another. He’s consistently going after younger women, only for them to tire of him, and more often they simply do not fit each other. Esme, being older, may fit right into his world. We know he’d treat her very well. However, by the end of the chapter, with Esme and Bella going to the airport, she mentioned she may never want to be married again. Perhaps they’ll meet one another at the wedding reception and hit it off. I do wonder if they’ll find Carlisle dead somewhere. He’s been mixed up with bad people with his gambling, so it is possible. It would hurt them all if this is the case. However, none of them would be surprised. Holy moly, floor — the whole floor — fifty sounds wonderful and they’d only seen one giant room. It could be an option for them, as they had discussed moving. I have to imagine there are plenty of bedrooms on the floor. If not, there definitely could be. Though I do wonder why Royce wasn’t in the penthouse the whole time. I did enjoy Bella forcing everyone together for the brunch. Ripping of the proverbial bandaid and such. Meetings went really well and they signed things to move things forward. I’m really hoping Roy doesn’t get angry about becoming a shared heir, in lieu of sole heir. I do hope he finds happiness in gaining a sister and a brother-in-law. Bella is very happy about gaining a brother and grandmother. Hoping the grandmother is nice to her. Thrilled the guys cleared the round and have a week off. Nothing like rest at this time of the year when it’s needed. Al you surprised me, in a fantastic way, with the Leah/Jason meet cute. Both were instantly smitten and it was so fun to read. He would be amazing for Leah. She would be taking a GIANT step up in boyfriends with Jason from Jake. She deserves to be treated wonderfully and I believe Jason will be perfect. I’m so sad we’re coming to the end with all these characters. It must though. Such an amazing journey you’ve given us. Will check on your side parts with Winston. Is there more between Winston and Royce? Maybe this is why he doesn’t sleep with the women he dates. Maybe he prefers men. Maybe I’m way off base, lol. Congratulations on your new gig. What an amazing opportunity. You’re going to kick ass there. Yay you! Woo~Hoo!

WOW! What a chapter. So much to absorb. But so good!
I had a feeling all along that Roy was her biological father. While I can see that he seems to truly care for Bella and wants to be a part of her life, I hope he doesn't try to use his place in her life to control her. My only reason for even thinking that is because of the way he handled things with Victoria and Vladdy. So far Roy's feelings for Bella appear to be genuine and that is a good thing. I hope my slight reservations make sense. But despite the fact having a larger family to love her is such a wonderful thing for Bella, my heart still breaks for Charlie over having to deny his parental rights to Bella. I can't imagine how difficult it was for him to sign those papers. Bella is always always be his baby girl and nothing will ever change that. Edward seems to have taken the news really well, I hope the rest of the King family and Edward's family take the news well too. I am very curious to see if Alice or Royce have noticed any family resemblance to Roy's sister that Bonnie and Roy have, and maybe just blew it off to a weird coincidence. And Al's shock over why Roy wanted to spend so much money on Edward and Bella's wedding reception will make so much more sense to him once he learns who he is to Bella. I do wonder if Al will spill those beans to Bella and how she'll take it.
And WOO HOO! Edward's team is doing so well in the playoffs so far. I am hoping and praying that this week off they will have leaves them rested, refreshed, and ready to take on their next opponent and doesn't mess with the grove they have. I also wonder if that will allow Ben time to recover and get back in the net. DTOW is holding on to its reliability strong! LOL
I love the closeness that is growing between Esme and Bella. Its a wonderful thing. And my heart breaks for Esme. Realizing my own marriage was over after 25 years was certainly a very difficult thing. So I can very much understand where she is coming from over the sadness of it all and also the need to find out who she is now. I have been there. But I can also say that after 10 years on this side of my divorce, I am very happy with where this chapter of my life has taken me. I think Esme will get there too.
And oh my, do we have a new romance blooming between Leah and Jason? They seem to have some good chemistry that is flowing right off the bat. Will be fun to see where that goes.
As always, I loved the chapter so much. I am looking forward to hearing from Edward and seeing where his thoughts are on all that is going on in their lives. Only 4 more chapters... I am NOT ready to say goodbye. Not at all. But you did tease about a possible Romeward, so I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that you bring him to life for us. LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!

This was a fantastic chapter. I was blown away by the relevation that Roy is Bella’s biological father, and her assertive way of dealing with it. I think she is such a powerful person. The brunch had to be taxing for Renee and Charlie too. I love Winston, and cant wait to read his outtake. Congratulations on your new adventure. Thank you so much for this.

Hey, congrats! That's super cool!
I'm glad Esme is filing for divorce! She deserves a full life, and sadly that's not with Carlisle.
Can't wait to see what sparks between Jason and Leah! Squeeee.
Thanks for sharing!
