This has been a long time in coming I know, but in my defence I have had a really bad case of writers block combined with losing one of my stories completely and being run off my feet at work. Thankfully I think I can now find time to write and thanks to this story I have managed to work through my writers block. I still haven't managed to find the other story I had been working on but its fine.
I hope you enjoy this, let me know what you think to the first chapter.
BPOV - 2024
"Mom, can you tell me the story of how you and dad met?" My little girl asks from her bed as I tuck her in for the night. I smile down at my daughter who looks so much like my husband that it is hard to see any of me in her, until you notice her brown eyes that is, eyes which are mine and my father's. As I think of my father I make a mental note to call him when I have tucked her in for the night.
"It's a long story baby girl," I answer as I sit down on the bed next to her. I stretch my legs out getting comfortable as she moves over slightly to give me more room.
"I guessed that but I really want to know the story. It has to be a good one if it has Auntie Alice and Uncle Emmett in it." She giggles as she thinks of something unknown to me but obviously amusing to her child's mind.
I brush away a lock of her bronze hair that has fallen into her eyes; I love my daughter more than anything…well almost anything. There is only one thing I love more than her and that is my husband. No that's wrong it's not that I love him more I just love him differently. For many years I had been dead set against marriage then he asked me, I had not wanted children until I found out I was pregnant with Jessie. He has changed so much of my life and all for the better which is crazy and now my beautiful daughter with her porcelain white skin, her bronze hair and her brown eyes is asking me how we met.
"Are you going to tell her, or shall I do it?" Jessie and I turn to the doorway where the voice came from.
"No, no I'll do it." I answer him, blushing as I think about what he will say as our first meeting isn't exactly something I am proud of.
"Yay," Jessie cheers from next to me on the bed. "Dad come and sit with us," she says patting the other side of her bed. Edward walks into the room and sits down next to our daughter before stretching his arm across her headboard and placing his hand so that he can play with my hair, an action which has always comforted me.
"Come on then Bells spill the beans of how we met and fell in love to our amazing daughter." Edward shoots me his biggest, brightest smile and I feel a tingle spread through my body from head to toe. It is amazing that after twelve years of knowing him I am still insanely in love with Edward Cullen.
"Okay here goes. It was the fall of 2012 and it was my first day at college, grandma and grandpa had driven me from Fork's to UCLA. Little did I know that what started out as a standard, boring day would end up being the start of some amazing friendships not least with your Aunt Alice."
I have the next two chapters already written, this story is almost writing itself now which is good because it means that there will be regular updates, yay! The next chapter will be up on Saturday
