Hello! I'm new to this side of fan fic…I hope you will be gentle, as it's my first time.
I have a wonderlific beta named AllThatSparkles, and without her, I'd have nothing. She catches what I miss, and edits brilliantly.
They say write about what you know. I know not much. But I do know how much it would mean to help those that fall in between the cracks of our society. I think it's very important to help those that are in need.
All characters are cannon, and human in this story. A wee bit of angst involved, but not much. It is an Edward/Bella story.
I do not own any rights to any characters or places mentioned in this story, they sadly are not mine, but I do own a super husband, 3 beautiful girls and a dog named Ozzie.
Prologue
As Edward searched over her willowy form standing in the window, looking out over the bay, he was overcome with emotion.
Was this love? No. Nope…,couldn't be. He had never felt that love before, why would he now? He wasn't made for that kind of love…was he?
His left brain caught up with his right brain and smacked it hard. Wow. That thud of his brain against his skull made him stand a bit straighter. Bella was the one. She was it.
His heart pounded and shivered as he took a drink of his coffee, his eyes alight with wonder at this discovery. A shy smile graced his glorious face.
Would she feel the same?
How would he find out?
Who in his right mind would just spout those three words?
It was verbal suicide if she didn't feel the same as he.
Edward gained courage as he walked toward her. She was deep in thought. He could see that clearly. What was she thinking about? She always scrunched her nose up tight and her eyes almost shut as she thought deeply about things.
He reached for her softly with one hand, while his other held not one, but two cups of coffee.
Bella turned, and looked up at him. There it was. That smile. That smile just for him.
It made him feel warm inside.
In the next instant several things happened. Edward handed her one of the coffees, a group of elementary kids came rushing around the corner to look out onto the bay, knocking into him. The coffee spilled on her cashmere sweater and she giggled. God that sound he thought. What wonderful music to my soul.
He couldn't hold it in any longer. Apparently, neither could she.
"I love you" slipped from both their mouths at the same time.
Coffee was forgotten as he claimed her lips in a searing kiss to make it known to her that he was in this. Whatever this was, he was in.
By Bella's responding kiss, so was she.
