Remembering
Bella sat on the plane with her two daughters; Amethyst Rayne Swan Cooper 6 and Crystal Rose Swan Cooper 4. She had given them their fathers last name with hers before it. Aaron James Cooper may he rest in peace. He was her husband and a good man. He was to inherit his father's businesses and run everything with his beautiful wife, Isabella Marie Swan Cooper.
They met in college her sophomore year. She had taken a job at the campus coffee shop just outside the main library. He didn't even like coffee, but he still went in to order one, just to see her. He couldn't take his eyes off her while he ordered any random drink. And then the day he finally got to speak to her he practically froze up. She had smiled at him and got him a mocha frappuccino. He seemed to enjoy this particular coffee beverage. Before leaving he finally found the courage to ask her out. Giving her his number and him hers, they parted with huge grins and butterflies in their stomachs.
Bella smiled at the memory. He was so charming, and his smile took her breath away. They were fairly happy together. He had wanted more children but with Bella's health he was content with two daughters. They were planning to try for a boy before his passing. They had talked about adopting as well since Aaron was adopted as a baby. His birth mother died giving birth to him and his birth father had a heart attack that same day. It was devastating to Bella that he had such a huge loss as an infant. But she couldn't pity him too much because his parents were such lovely folks.
She remembered their wedding day, Charlie looked so handsome in his suit walking her down the isle. She had been so nervous, but the feeling vanished the moment she laid eyes on him; standing at the altar looking handsome in his tuxedo. He was the man of her dreams. That evening they danced until the early hours of the morning. He was such an incredible dancer too.
Bella felt a tear fall down her cheek. She missed him terribly and though it's been a couple of years, it still felt fresh when she thought about their wedding day. It didn't seem fair that he was gone. After all, it took this long to figure out that it wasn't an accident. Bella didn't want to believe it, but all the signs were pointing towards the possibility of a vampire attack.
Obviously she couldn't go to the police about it, so she figured she would go back home where she knew she could feel safe.
All the memories swirled in her mind as she stared down at her daughters. It ached in her heart to know what laid ahead of them. Sure they were financially safe, but was she safe safe?
Bella closed her eyes and let herself relax the remainder of the flight. She sent a little prayer that everything was going to be okay.
Author Note: This is short on purpose, as it's supposed to be a prologue of some sort. I hope you enjoy this. I am still working on many other ideas that keep popping up. The gerbil wheel won't stop spinning lol.
