"A wide port"? Boy, does that skate the edge of PG-13. But yes, that's what I was trying to get across, corona, just Kayla said it first and best.

If anyone wants a new Gutter topic, this one has been running around in my head for weeks: Since cold showers are ineffective or counterproductive, what do overexcited vamp boys do to relax? My top thought, based on Edward's reaction to Bella in the-draft-that-must-not-be-named: Run. Lots.

My bet is that most of them work it off using more productive methods. They just have to be careful when they're newborns, not knowing their own strength.

Edward is the odd-ball in that group. Whatever we might think, I'm sure SM would say that running is all he did.

Oh God ... I am LOLing over here, with my hand over my mouth to not disturb sleeping kiddies. What a critical newborn-sire conversation to have ... "Look, you've got to realize that you are now strong enough to break yourself, so you want to be careful what you do ..." poor newborns without responsible sires

*Snicker*

And if something does break off, their maker could just explain to them how to reattach it, and then let them do it themselves.

Could you help me with this?

You've got to be kidding me.

Oh my goodness.. I love this thread... honestly...

On the possibility of Jake not being able to make port... I think that maybe there is something to say for that Vampire skin does move... in the book it's descibed as satin over steel... it isn't like stone that is completely solid... so maybe the docking won't be a problem only the passage way into port is very tight and will remain very tight... but I can't imagine Jake having issues with that...

pfff.... as said, maybe Carlisle will take it some a professional aspect but you have to remove Edward and be able to obliviate Carlisle after that...but being Bella's and Edward's kid I somehow don't think she will be bold enough to ever even ask..

Oh yes... the idea made me grin evilly...

Corona, I honestly think that SM never wanted to think about these issues... and would see read this topic she would blush more than Bella ever has...

OHH my god!!! this brings up images that aren't suitable for sitting in an office!!! but I have to stump the fun... it's said that normal newborns are too ruled by their thirst to even think about making port...the issue of the bow of the schip breaking off while docking too roughly won't be an issue...

He ran through the rain.... maybe that was his cold shower!!!
Honestly, Edward was changed as a 17 year old (hormone ruled)... I can't imagine him never explore his ship before he was changed, so I'm sure that he would every now and than manually helped with the disembarking off sailors... though SM never wrote anything about it doesn't mean Edward was a saint...

Maybe Edward rented a video...???

Nah, he could have been looking through Bella's window...no need for a video...

Hmm, you know he did have oil with him one night to stop the windows from squeaking. I wonder if...

Very true Corona. He did sit in her chair and watch her sleep. Although in the book Edward took his shirt off a lot while in bed with Bella. Maybe he used it to...clean up the pirates??

OMG!!!

You have no idea how much the word 'pirates' looks like another word when you first read that sentence in that context. Switch a couple of letters around and add a 'v' for vampire, and you'll know what I'm talking about.

I swear, that's what I first saw when I read what you had posted.

Oh gods... Corona... I would have never had noticed if you haven't pointed that out!!!


I wanted to get back on the thigh and unyielding sea lanes to the habor...
with Alice's case... she was a child when she was put into the Asylum, so it's easy to say that her habor had never been visited before she met Jasper... or do you think there had been pirates that made port with out permission?
