Preface
Your Aunt Alice once told me about a time when she questioned your Nan on why she chose to be with your grandad. Alice was fourteen and had just been told she had to cancel her date to homecoming. Apparently she didn't take it well, and she blamed Nan. After all, if Nan had chosen a different husband, a normal man, Alice wouldn't have had to follow so many stupid rules. Nan, of course, quickly reminded her that if she had chosen a "normal man" then Alice wouldn't exist, but, according to Alice, the only true answer she ever got was "I loved him, you'll understand some day."
As you know, two years later Aunt Alice met Uncle Jasper, but, while she understood what it was to love, she couldn't truly comprehend what her mother meant. Alice had been born into this life, she'd been forced to follow these rules since birth, and, while she was ecstatic that it led her to Jasper, she didn't know how one could choose to leave normal behind.
So, my darling girl, I decided to write down how it all happened, because some day you'll get fed up, or confused, and you'll ask why. I could just give you the simple answer, that your father is the love of my life, that my heart left me with no choice, but what you'll really want to know is how. How could I leave my life behind? How could I damn my children to this life as well? I hope this helps.
AN: This is my first fanfic in over ten years. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I hope you'll enjoy!
