Sorry I know I haven't started the sequal yet but I've been swamped! I will start it once I finish with one of my stories and the next one will probably Sexual Surprise to finish because it only has like two or three chapters left because I really don't want to drag it on. But on with some news:
I WAS NOMINATED FOR SEVERAL TWILIGHT AWARDS! (Well Mistletoe was but I wrote it! Lol)
I was nominated for….
Best Winter Holiday Story
Best "M" or NC-17" Story
Most Original Plot
Best Edward/Bella
Best Alternate Universe
Isn't that AWESOME!!!! Lol, so when it's time for the voting I'll leave another chapter up here so you can know. Now also I made a playlist for this story! The link is on my page for one but I'm also going to list the songs here, so I can explain why I choose these songs. They are in order by chapter not including chapters that were only author notes.
Here's the link but take out the spaces and your good: http: //view . playlist . com/14422868491/standalone
1. I'll Be Home For Christmas by Michael Buble
I choose this song because it's the chapter where Bella is coming home (for christmas). There's not really much more of an explantion, lol because the song truly only has like 4 verses and they're all similar. Lol.
2. Love Lockdown
I choose this song because the lyrics are: I'm not loving you the way I wanted to...I'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong. Which is how I believe their relationship is at this point that they "love" each other but they can't help themselves even though it's wrong.
3. I Want You To Want Me by Letters To Cleo
I'm not sure if I even have to explain this but it's how they both feel that they want each other and they want the other to want them.
4. Bounce by The Cab
Okay, I'm not going to lie. This song is ALL about sex, lol which is why I put it because Bella and Edward are very...active? lol, so I put this song for it.
5. I Want You (She's So Heavy) by Dana Fuchs, Joe Anderson & T.V. Carpio
It can be the version by the Beatles but the song is how badly two people want each other and I believe that the version from Across the Universe is better to get that point across because it's two woman and a man singing about how they all want each other. I choose it because it's about how badly Edward and Bella want each other.
6. Hallelujah by Paramore
I choose this song because it's basically about how everything is going to work out in the end and how they wish it could last forever, which at the end of the chapter is how Bella and Edward feel.
7. Lovebug by The Jonas Brothers
Now this chapter was hard to find a song for so but I choose Lovebug because the noise in the beginning and around the songs signifys how even with all those people around he still can't see anyone but that girl. Which is how Bella and Edward see each other. Also it fits in with Jasper's story because it's the type of time that you think about when people go to war.
8. Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright
This song is really about (I believe no one truly knows) about how this woman restored this guy's faith in god and how even though they're completely different he can't help but love her. I choose it for the chapter because it just seemed like a good song for it and how this guy compares her to an angel (even if he doesn't say it out loud) and Edward compares Bella to angel all the time.
9. I Knew I Loved You By Savage Garden
So I choose this one but I believe it does describe their realtionship, and how they knew even before they met that they were meant to be, and it's a song about soulmates so how can you go wrong.
10. Truly, Madly, Deeply by Cascada
Ok, so this is the chapter where Edward proposes so it MADLY part fits, lol. But it also signifys how Edward wants to do everything with her. Also Lay like this forever is one of the lines and fits perfectly because when he proposes that's all he really wants to do, lay with her forever. Also I choose Cascada's version because I think it sounds better with her singing than Savage Garden but either will do.
11. When The Stars Go Blue by Bethany Joy Lenz and Tyler Hilton
Again, whichever version but this was always my favorite version. Anyway, the song is all about how you'll always be there for each other and which I really don't think I need to explain.
12. Dakota by A Rocket to the Moon
Ok, so I love this song, and I love A Rocket to the Moon because it's a one man band so it's really cool. But I choose the song because it's about this guy who's barely known this girl and he thinks he's already in love with her. And the song fits perfectly with their relationship.
13. Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts
This song is all about how it took so long to get where you are, and so many wrong turns but without it they wouldn't have made it there. I think it fits in because in the beginning they're sort of thinking about what they doing and what they had to do to get there.
14. Love Story by Taylor Swift
I don't think there's anyway to explain it but it is like the perfect song for a wedding. And since this is the wedding chapter it is totally perfect.
15. Scotty Doesn't Know by Lustra
Ok, if you've never seen EuroTrip you need to watch it, lol. This song is about a guy who's helping this girl cheat on her boyfriend. And in this scenrio Mike is Scotty, but Edward isn't as much of a jerk as the guy who wrote this song.
16. The Breakup Song by American Hi-Fi
There is no way I'm explaining this. If you don't get it then you got problems.
17. Coming to Terms by Carolina Liar
So this is the chapter when Bella and Edward start learning that all the secrecy is getting to be a problem and they're starting to hate it. The song is supposed to be about a relationship that isn't working but I use as them realising all the things that's happening in the relationship.
18. Risky Business by The Cab
I really choose this song because of the title and how they get caught and it's risky for them to be doing things like that. The song doesn't really match but it's an awesome song! lol
19. Someday We'll Know by New Radicals
It should be the version from A Walk to Remember but I couldn't find it, so I used this one. I use this song because it's about a great love story, which is what Bella and Edward are.
20. Breathing by Lifehouse
I love this song a lot! Ok, I think the song is basically about how this guy just wants to be with a girl even if she's just breathing because even the sound of her breathing is beautiful to him. And during the middle part of the chapter he's sort of just laying there watching her sleep, which I believe is what the song is talking about
21. Snakes on a Plane (Bring it) by Cobra Starship
I choose this song because it's about getting ready to die but they're preparing to tell Emmett what they've been doing so I thought it fit nicelt.
22. Supermassive Black Hole by Muse
I know it's on the Twilight Soundtrack, it's one of my favorite songs on there second favorite to Decode, lol. It's also all about how a black whole can suck you in and the song compares a relationship to a black whole and I was comparing Emmett and Bella's relationship to it.
23. Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap
Well, I use this because it's the chapter when they leave and I always believed that it was about people leaving and how they're thinking back to the place they just left.
24. My Christmas List by Simple Plan
Well Edward got Bella an apartment for Christmas and this is all about Christmas Presents lol!
25. It's Christmas Time Again by Jessica Simpson
I think that's pretty self explanitory.
26. Why Doesn't Santa Like Me? by Skye Sweetnam
Well, I just choose a random Christmas song for this one, because 1) I love this song and 2) there wasn't really a song for this chapter.
27. Honey by The Hush Sound/ Bella's Lullaby by Carter Burwell
Ok, so I wanted Bella's Lullaby but they didn't have it on the website so I used this song but if you're not going to the music player I have on my page then you can listen to Bella's Lullaby. Ok and I choose Honey because well it has the word lullaby in it and that was about it.
28. Words by Between the Trees
I used this song because it has the lyrics: "sticks and stones may break my bones, you're words they surely kill" and this is the chapter were Emmett and Rosalie finds out that they're married and get's angry.
29. Everything by Lifehouse/ I Want Something That I Want by Bethany Joy Galeotti and Grace Potter
Once again I wanted I Want Something That I Want since it was in the chapter but I couldn't find it so I used Everything by Lifehouse. Mostly because it's about how it's a chapter about how Bella and Edward are getting along even though they haven't spoken to Emmett and Rosalie. Also it's all about how one person can mean everything to one person which is how they feel about each other.
30. Hallelujah by Teddy Geiger
Incase you didn't know the Hallelujah's on here are all different not just the same song by different people, the only one that actually is Hallelujah is the one by Rufus Wainwright. I thought this song described their relationship perfectly because it's about this guy who likes this shy, quiet girl and all. Once you listen to it you'll be able to tell that it's an amazing song.
31. I'll Be by Edwin McCain
Again, I really didn't know what song to use for this chapter so I just used this song because it's one of my favorite songs.
32. It's Not Over by Daughtry
This one was mainly for the name because it forshadows the next chapter, lol.
33. It Won't Be Long by Evan Rachel Wood
I also like this version better than the Beatles version. I used this song because of the fact the Emmett called them and it wouldn't be long before they saw them again.
34. 100 Years by Five For Fighting
This song is all about someone's life when it revolves around their family and since Edward and Bella were about to start their family I thought it would fit nicely.
35. I'm In Love With A Girl by Gavin DeGraw
I love Gavin DeGraw and I love this song and I used it because while there wasn't any real fluff it was good when it was a cute chapter to me and I decided to use a happy, sorta romantic song.
36. It Takes Two by Zac Efron
I love Zac in this in song, and I thought it was cute with the title and how they were play-arguing about who's baby it was.
Well, that's it lol. Hopefull next time I leave an A/N it'll be for the sequel. Now some questions have been asked about it and it won't be more than 10 chapters it's going to be a chapter for each month of her pregnancy (so some chapters will probably be long, not the whole month but some days and stuff) and then one after she's had the baby. Alright, until next time!
