Bella Swan/ruff days

"Hi, baby." Edward grins, slamming the door shut with his foot.

I look up from my dolls and give him a smile.

He's carrying a box and my curiosity is peaked.

I love surprises.

"Hi. Whatcha got there?"

"Practice."

The box starts wiggling and I jump up.

"What did you do?"

"I love you."

"Edward Cullen, if you brought a raccoon into my house, I'm going to divorce you before we even get married."

"It's not a raccoon, not really."

He pushes the box into my arms.

I'm terrified to open it, but I hear yipping. I've never been up close to a raccoon, but I can imagine they make more of a hissing sound.

I lift a flap and a furry little creature jumps out at me.

"Oh, my God." I squeal.

It, well, he is so adorable.

"Your mom told me you've always wanted a Husky. I started calling him Smoosh because he likes to cuddle."

And just like that, I'm a dog mom.

To a dog that loosely resembles the one thing that I'm most afraid of.
