Chapter One: The History
I know this is not the typical thing people usually do when they start a story, but there is a lot for me to explain before the story starts and I don't want to leave an extremely long authors note. I have a theory that the longer the author note, the less people actually read them. This story is only slightly AU, so I wanted to explain it a little so you didn't get confused.
Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse happened exactly as Stephenie Meyer wrote them. Breaking Dawn is the same as well, except for two details:
1. Bella did not share her mind with Edward at the end of Breaking Dawn, instead deciding to wait until she can keep her shield away for longer and is able to have more distractions while doing it. It takes her a while to do this…
2. Soon after they are officially engaged, Bella and Alice are alone discussing what sorts of things Bella wants to do before she is changed, and gifts she could get Edward. Bella thinks to herself that there isn't much more that Edward wanted, except for a few things that she couldn't possibly ever give him, and then suddenly has an idea. She tells Alice that she wants to take some of her blood and save it for Edward for after she is changed. Alice thinks it is a great idea and calls Carlisle to help. He agrees to take about a pint of blood and store it in a safe place until after Bella is changed. They agree not to talk about it or think about it, so that it could be a surprise for Edward. After the pregnancy, everyone all but completely forgot about it.
The story takes place in the summer after Bella is changed, about six months after Breaking Dawn ended. Again, everything else that happened in the original story still happened in this world.
Hopefully this story will work out the way I had planned. Let me know if there are any flaws! Don't forget to review!
