A short story from Bella's point of view (maybe an exception or two), with little hints lining the chapters. Every detail is a small piece of the puzzle. Don't expect long chapters, they will all be short and to the point. Trying something new, let's see where it takes us.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The First Time Everything Fell Into Place

June 28th, 2016

Sometimes it seems like everything that can be thrown in our direction has been thrown at us. For Edward and I it felt like that when I was diagnosed with stage one ovarian cancer, but then on a December evening when I was traveling home from my last day of school for my first semester in Dental school I was hit by a semi-truck that lost control on the curve of the snowy highway.

That led to a 10 day long coma. Ten days of my body acting like a Satellite, holding onto the precious memories of Edward and I together. Ten days of pain for Edward sitting by my seemingly lifeless body in that hospital.

Sometimes all of those things make you stronger, and sometimes they could have the opposite effect. All of those hard times cemented that Edward and I were meant to be together. At any time he could have decided that it was all too much and walked away, but he never thought of leaving.

I believe that all of those hard times were meant for some reason. I am not sure what it is, but today is one of the happiest days of my life.

Edward and I married in the summer of 2011 just as we had planned and after a lot of rehabilitation on the months leading up to the wedding. I was able to stay in school during my rehabilitation and I was able to graduate on time from dental school in the spring of 2013 and go off to master in orthodontics. After all of that, I graduated for the final time just a little over a year ago.

Throughout all of this time Edward and I have been trying for a baby Cullen as we knew that we had slim to impossible chances of getting pregnant. But after all of this time I am finally able to smile at my handsome husband as he walks into the door of our home in Chicago, IL where we moved after I graduated because he had been offered a professorship at the university here, and I was able to open another branch of the original Dr. Cullen's Orthodontic office here in Chicago, and tell him the words "We are going to have a baby".

"Are you serious?" He asks, and all I can do is smile.

"Yes, we have been chosen by a young girl not too far from here to adopt her baby." I smile relaying the message from our adoption agent.

Everything after all of the trials and tribulations is finally falling into place.
