"I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you"

Title: The Start of a New Life

October 2008

It was hard to believe that our week in paradise was over and we were already back in Washington. I'd miss the sun and the warmth from Phoenix, but Forks was always going to be my home. The green welcomed me in like a security blanket. None of it felt real in any way possible. Everything felt like a dream and I never wanted to wake up from it. I had the most amazing man for a husband and my life was falling into place. It might have taken a long time to get to this moment, but none of that mattered now. I had the ability to say that I was truly happy and that was something I cherished.

Jake made me happy in ways that were miniscule compared to what it could take for someone else to be happy. Little things like smiling at me, holding my hand, or simply making conversation with me were enough to send my heart pounding and happiness flooding through me. I enjoyed all of the little things together; whether it was watching a movie, walking through the park, or watching the stars.

Every moment that I spent with him it felt like my heart was growing even larger with love. Sure, there might still be love for someone else, but it was shadowed by Jake's light. He was my sun and lit up my world; creating the perfect setting every single day. It was incredible being with someone who understood every part of you and loved you regardless of flaws. Jake had never tried to change me in the entire time that I had known him and it made him even more special.

I still couldn't wrap my mind around the idea that Jake and I would be able to spend every night together. Our usual routine felt like it was still in place, but I knew that wouldn't be the case for long. There were no more rules we had to follow. We could do whatever we wanted to in our own home without the fear of being punished. It was both nerve-racking and freeing at the same time.

"I'm so excited." Jake mused happily as we finally pulled into La Push. It felt like the drive home took even longer than the drive there. I don't know if it was because of our excitement for picking out our house or something else.

"Me too." I murmured. I didn't add on the snide comment about being excited to get out of the car. I had forced myself to control the bouncing of my legs during as we had gotten closer and closer to home. Excitement was eating its way through my body for so many different reasons.

Jake pulled up to Billy's house and parked off to the side. We got out slowly and the crisp air of Washington hit me brutally. Goodbye warmth. I was excited to see everyone and tell them of our adventures. I couldn't wait to talk to Emily and tell her all about it. Billy rolled down the long pathway leading to the front door of his house excitedly. Charlie was right behind him with a skip in his step. They both had huge smiles plastered all over their faces.

"Bella!" Charlie exclaimed while hugging me tightly. I breathed in his musky scent and hugged him back just as tightly. I had missed him while we were gone, even though it was only for a week. I was used to seeing my Dad nearly every day, but things do change. Billy and Jake shared a quick hug before we changed and I was hugging Billy. He smiled deeply at me; his laugh lines and wisdom marks showing profoundly.

"You don't look like such a pale face anymore." Billy mused with a laugh. I stuck my tongue out at him. My sunburn had turned into a decent tan.

"Jeez…haven't you ever heard of sunscreen?" Charlie teased while looking at my slightly darker face. I laughed and shrugged my shoulders at his concerned tone. Jake actually didn't pack any sunscreen at all. He forgot about the pale face.

"It looks lovely!" Emily squealed, startling me to death. She had run up behind me and jumped on my back, nearly knocking us both over. Fortunately, I was able to steady myself out so I didn't kill either of us. We were both in a fit of laughter once she jumped down. I embraced her tightly; I missed my best friend.

"It's good to see you too, Em." I laughed after we let go of each other. She showed her famous curved grin to me before I noticed the mischievous look in her eyes. Billy and her exchanged looks before he nodded and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a set of keys and jingled them with a smile.

"While you were away, Emily took the liberty of decorating your new home." Billy said with a gesture to Emily, who had her grin glued to her face. "We will have our traditional bonfire to welcome newlyweds into their new home tonight near the beach. Bella, Jacob, I hope you enjoy your new home together as you open this door in your lives." Billy handed Jake the keys to our home and I couldn't help the tears that welled up into my eyes and spilled over. Damn, tear ducts. I hugged Billy tightly before letting him go.

"Thanks, Dad." Jake murmured while shaking hands with his father and then mine. Charlie smiled but I could see how the thought still bothered him. He hated the fact that I was growing up so fast and changes in my life were coming up from every direction, but he was supportive nonetheless. I couldn't believe that we actually had our own home and we would be living together.

"I'll go with to lead the way." Emily mused in a sing song voice before getting into the backseat of the Rabbit. It was still really packed with our luggage, but she squeezed her way inside. I laughed at my crazy best friend and got back into the car. Jake smiled once more at the two most important men in our lives before he got behind the wheel and began the drive to our home. Our home.

The drive was short as Emily gave Jake directions on where to go. We were about a ten minute walking distance from Sam and Emily's house and 15 minutes from Billy's. A smile exploded onto my face as we got out and stood in front of our home.

It was absolutely perfect. It was a small red brick house that had a blue door with blue trimmings around the two windows that faced the front yard. There was a small wooden fence that went around the front yard, making it enclosed with a gate that would swing open in the middle of the pathway that led to the door. There was lush green grass growing in the front yard and a couple of rose bushes with beautiful flowers. There was a picnic table to the left side of the yard that had ancient carvings into it. My throat constricted as more tears welled into my eyes at the beauty of my new home.

My sudden hug took Emily off guard but she squeezed back tightly. I couldn't thank her enough for all she had done for both Jacob and I. She was the best friend that I ever had. No words needed to be exchanged as she smiled before walking off towards her home. I looked up at Jake who had a large toothy smile on his face.

Jake laughed before swooping me into his arms, bridal style. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck. His heat warmed my body and I snuggled into his arms. He opened the small wooden gate and walked up the path to our door. He unlocked it slowly and carried me inside.

The inside of our home was even more breathtaking than the outside. The walls were a beautiful crème color with cherry wood floors. There were beautiful Quileute paintings and artifacts surrounding the house; vases, baskets, and more. To the left of the threshold there was a small living room with a large beige leather couch. Next to the couch there was a rocking chair that had elegant carvings.

To the right of the threshold there was a kitchen. It wasn't extravagant, but it was beautiful. There was an island in the middle with a gorgeous wood covering the top of it; there was also a refrigerator and microwave. There was a small space to the left of the kitchen that had a beautiful wooden table with 4 chairs surrounding it. It was where one of the windows were located that showed our front yard; it filled the room with light.

We continued our way down the hallway to find three doors. One of them led to the bathroom which had exquisite Quileute decorations inside. We had a medium sized tub with a shower head above it. The walls were lined with white tile and it made the room bright. There was a gorgeous mirror that had turquoise beading surrounding it. The next door led to a guest bedroom that was empty. The final door must be our room. I felt the excitement bubble in my stomach as Jake opened the door. My jaw dropped at the sight.

In the medium sized room there was a large bed with a Pendleton blanket covering it. The beautiful and bright designs stood out against the crème colored walls and brought vibrancy to the room. There was an extremely pretty headboard made out of dark wood behind the bed. There were wolves carved into the outer sides of the headboard that stood out perfectly. In front of the bed there was a wooden box with cushions that looked like it could be used to store things in. There were two nightstands; one of either side of the bed. The both held lamps on top of them and they were the same beautiful dark wood color. The closet was covered with a full length mirror and it had sliding doors that opened from either side.

Jake set me down onto our new bed gently and admired the room once more before crawling on top of me. I wove my fingers into his hair and pulled his face down so our lips could lock. Our kiss was slow and special; savoring every moment. As we pulled away with heavy breathing, Jake smiled down at me. I knew I had the same smile on my face; I could see it in his eyes that shone with love.

"Welcome home, baby." He murmured softly before kissing me again. I knew our bed was going to broke in many times, not in the literal sense.

Welcome Home Bonfire

Jake and I had lain together in our new bed for what felt like hours; making the smallest conversation, but still reveling in our happiness. It felt so surreal that this was our home and we'd be living here together; making a life together. Our moment of bliss was interrupted by Emily barging into the room. Jake quickly covered our bodies with the sheets as I felt the hotness rush to my cheeks.

"Oh God! I didn't think I'd see that!" She cried out playfully as she covered her eyes. She stood in the doorway with her hands over her eyes and rocked back and forth on her heels. Jake groaned and rolled his eyes.

"How'd you even get in here?" He grumbled which caused Emily to laugh. She took one hand away from her eye, but kept it closed as she held out a key to us.

"You have a spare key under the mat outside in case of emergencies." She giggled as she brought her hand back up to cover her eye once more.

"Is there an emergency?" I asked, a bit of concern coming into my voice. Once again, Emily's giggle filled our room and I smiled at her. This must have been just as awkward for her as it was for us, but at least she had clothes on.

"It's time for the bonfire." She stated like it should have been obvious to us. Jake laughed and ran his hand through his hair. "Be down at the beach in 15 minutes. With clothes…" She teased before turning on her heel and leaving the room. I couldn't help myself with laughter at the situation. Jake smiled at me before getting out of bed. I didn't want to get out of bed, much less put clothes on to go in public. I gave him a small pout and he smiled softly at me. Jake walked over to my side of the bed and ducked his head down to kiss my lips chastely.

"Don't worry. You won't be getting any sleep tonight." He teased before he started to get dressed. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks once more as a nervous giggle escaped my lips.

Within 15 minutes we were down at First Beach with the rest of our friends and family. There was already a huge fire going in the sand pit that had rocks surrounding it. The fire lit up the sky as embers danced into the air; creating a beautiful moment. Seth and Jared were jumping around the fire like crazy men, howling and crying out to the bright moon above. Sam and Emily sat bundled together on one of the long fallen tree logs the boys had set up to go around the fire pit. Charlie was talking to Sue and another member of the tribe named Lynn. Most everyone was there already besides a few people that were known for showing up fashionably late. There were bags of pretzels being passed around along with candy and sugar covered fry bread. I could feel the happiness before we were even near everyone.

Jake had his arm wrapped around me tightly, keeping me warm from the biting October air. I had a long-sleeved shirt and sweatshirt on, but I was still able to freeze. It wasn't nearly as cold as it usually gets, but then again, I never liked the cold. Ironic, right?

I sat next to Emily with a blanket wrapped around us. It was doing a pretty good job at fighting off the crisp breeze that threatened to freeze my body completely. Jake went to be with his brothers after their week apart. I knew it was hard on him with the bond they have, but it made seeing them even more special.

"I'm glad to see you with clothes on." Emily teased before taking a bite off of her Twizzler Licorice. I glared at her playfully which caused her to laugh.

"I would have died if you actually walked in on us." I laughed, the feeling of embarrassment still flowing through my body. She made a gagging sound and I shoved her arm lightly, laughter leaving both of us.

"So, tell me everything!" Emily exclaimed excitedly. Her excitement flooded into me as I began to tell her all the details of my lovely honeymoon. "He did not take you up the biggest freakin' mountain, did he?" She gasped with amusement in her eyes. I nodded and lifted my shirt so she could see one of my bruises. She grimaced before letting out a laugh.

"The uncoordinated should be left on flat surfaces." I grinned.

"Bella, you still trip then." Leah said as she came to join us on our log. The heat that radiated off of her body quickly warmed both Emily and I. They had started to get along a bit better and I was thankful for that. I knew it'd be a lot better once Leah imprinted, but who knows when that day would get here. I rolled my eyes at Leah and her silly insults.

"Don't pick on me." I teased, showing her my battle scars. She laughed as she shook her head, her short hair falling around her face.

"That's Jacob for you." She murmured while throwing a glance in his direction. I followed her gaze and smiled at the sight. Jake was wrestling playfully with Quil while Jared and Embry made bets; just like the old days. Some things never change.

"Everyone, please gather around." Billy called out amongst the group of people. People began to sit on the logs set up around the fire and all eyes were on Billy. Jake squeezed between Leah and I and pulled me close to him. I let out a shaky breath at his warmth and tried to absorb as much of it as I could.

"A little over a week ago, two very special people to all of us were married." Sue spoke up, gesturing towards Jacob and I. I could feel a light blush come into my cheeks at the eyes on us, but it still caused a warm feeling inside knowing that they cared.

"That's right Sue." Billy said with a smile at her before turning his gaze to Jake and I. "Over the last week, they spent time together down in Phoenix, Arizona. Bella soaked up some of the rare sun she sees and got a little bit of color, making her less of a pale face." There was a bit of laughter around the circle as Billy said the last part. "We blessed them tremendously before they left and as ritual, we bless them before staying the first night in their home together. Let's sing before the blessing." Billy said before leading the group into a beautiful Quileute song.

It was melodic and flowed easily from all of them, including Jake. One day, I'd learn the language, but until then, I enjoyed the sound of their voices surrounding us. Sue stood and had a wooden bowl full of smoknig sweetgrass in her hand. She also had an eagle feather. She began to swing the eagle feather back and forward in front of the smoking grass from the bowl as she traveled around us; her feet moving in perfect sync with the tune. The smoke engulfed us, but it wasn't hard to breathe.

"Lord, we ask that you would bless Jacob and Bella in their new home. Provide them with plentiful amounts of your love, grace, and courage. Guide them in their marriage and lead the path for them to take together. Show them how to create a loving environment and teach them the ways of communication. Help them through troubled waters and guide them through the sea. They are two bodies, but one heart. Amen." Billy spoke loudly and as he finished, Sue also ended smoking us with the sweetgrass. There was a ritual to stay covered in the soot for at least one day as it sank into your skins; going all the way into your soul. It said it would purify you of anything dark lying within you and bring a clarity into your life.

The night continued on with happiness and joy. Many people came and blessed Jacob and I with their own words. I knew why it felt like a security blanket when I was home, here in Washington; it's because I had a family that loved me purely.

Living Together

November 2008

I had always heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, but I had yet to find that true. Jake and I had been living together for a month now and it had been one of the most joyous times of my life. We had easily fallen into a routine that I had not found to be boring at all.

Jake got a job at the only mechanic shop in Forks. The owner is a member of the tribe and understands about the wolf duties, so he is pretty flexible with Jake whenever Sam needs him for something, which isn't often. He really likes going to work and getting more experience with cars and fixing them.

I had continued with my college classes; most of them being online. It was easy for me to do and work at the same time. My associate's degree would be done in May. I kept my job at Newton's. It was nice to see familiar faces and old friends from time to time in there. Mike had stayed local, working at his dad's store and going to the community college in town while Jessica went up to Seattle to go to the university. Angela and Ben were both at the university as well, but I'd still see them from time to time when they'd be back home visiting. Some days Jake and I would meet up for lunch at the diner; Charlie even tagged along a couple times.

I usually got off of work at 3 and headed home to make dinner or clean the house. Jake usually got home around 5. Emily was over most of the time while Sam had his duties to attend to and Jake was at work. Occasionally, Kim or Leah would come over and join us. Sue also popped in every now and then to say hi and make sure we weren't malnourished. Rachael would bring Sarah over and I completely adored my niece. She was the sweetest thing that I had ever seen and Rachael was such a good mom.

I enjoyed our routine and didn't mind when we strayed from it. I had to do my best and not be a pessimist, but some days it was hard. I couldn't help the thought of how could my life be so perfect right now? I was still living in a dream, but it was my reality. I knew that I was the luckiest girl alive to live the life that I did.

Jake's warm touch on my shoulders made me jump with surprise. I didn't realize how lost in my thoughts I was that I didn't even hear him come in. He put his lips to my ear and nibbled softly on my earlobe, sending chills running up and down my spine. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled my back against his chest.

"Hello there, my beautiful wife." He murmured quietly into my ear before kissing his way along my jaw until he reached my neck. His hot breath left my body aching with need. He sucked at my pulse point and I could feel my knees wanting to buckle from his touch.

With a burst of momentum, I grabbed his hand and started leading him towards our room; clothes coming off in the process. He tackled me onto our bed, now only in his boxers while I was left in lacy boy shorts and my matching bra. He growled hungrily as his eyes looked me over slowly; leaving me with a shudder of lust racing through my body. His fingers explored across my skin, lighting me on fire in every spot he touched while his mouth suckled my nipple, my bra pushed aside. He teasingly slid his finger along the outside of my panties, causing me to arch into him. I couldn't stand the teasing and I needed to feel him. I whimpered at the sensation of him rubbing me through my panties which caused him to look up from my breast. I could see it in his eyes that he needed it just as badly. I pulled him back up to me and locked our lips together.

Our kisses were fervent; like we hadn't kissed in forever even though it had only been hours. He pressed into me, letting me feel his length and I moaned out; needing him inside of me. The remainder of our clothes was shred as he slipped into me quickly; no time for anymore foreplay.

I gasped at the sudden fulfillment and arched into him. Moans helplessly left my lips as Jake slammed into me; while I pressed against him, making him fill me even more. He explored my mouth with his sweet taste to muffle my cries of pleasure. He increased his pressure and speed and changed his angle so he was hitting just the right spot. It was all it took to send me over the edge; clutching his shoulders as I shook with the force of my orgasm, his name falling from my lips in endless ecstasy.

I knew Jake was getting close and he moved to pull out, but my sudden movement of wrapping my legs around his waist and holding him inside of me shocked him. He looked at me with half lidded eyes, checking for permission. I pulled myself up to him, slowly kissing up his neck until I reached his ear. "Come inside me." I moaned out quietly. I heard my name fall from his lips as he tensed and filled me with his seed. It was a sensation that I had never felt before… It felt so much more right to experience it that way; to have him truly inside of me; to share it together. Jake collapsed on top of me, both of our breathing ragged. "I love you." I breathed out heavily, running my fingers lightly through his hair. Jake smiled up at me from his spot on my chest.

"I love you more."

Us

December 2008

Jake and I had been living in our little home together for nearly two months. There wasn't a feeling in the world better than this. We took care of each other in every way that we could. We were adults, living on our own, and doing the things that made us happy. I finished up my fall semester of college and passed easily, while still completing my housewife duties.

Our bills were minimal, but it didn't stop either of us from working. The extra money we brought in helped to pay for food, gas, and random splurges we might have. It really came in handy during Christmas time. We had been saving up enough money to buy Charlie his dream boat for Christmas and I couldn't wait to see the look on his face. I was grateful that we were able to support ourselves and live happily.

The best part about all of it was that I got to fall asleep in my best friend's arms every single night. Jake wouldn't let go of me as we slept and the feeling I got when I woke up in his arms was indescribable. Seeing his smiling face in the morning was like seeing the sunlight flicker down from the cloudy skies. It was a happiness that I had never felt before and never wanted to lose. I never grew tired of waking up in his arms.

It was crazy to me how open we had become with each other. I no longer felt any sense of nervousness when he saw me completely bare. There were no inhibitions between us as we knew every part of each other. I had his touch memorized and it still gave me chills after all this time. My stomach still filled with butterflies when he'd look at me and my heart still went crazy. I knew every muscle, curve, scar, and mark on his body just like he had memorized mine.

We had shared a lot of intimacy since living with each other; like animals. Emily loved to tease me about it just like Jake heard about it from the pack. Before we were married, I wanted to take things slow, but now, there was no reason not to experience everything possible with each other. We no longer had boundaries and that was something we took full gratification in.

It was addicting and I knew I was hooked on him completely. He knew all the right movements, words, and looks to give to send me into a frenzy, but he never let me suffer through it. Jake knew how to please me entirely; in more ways than one. Then again, just having him in my life was more than pleasing. No matter how many times we shared it together; it still felt just as incredible as our first time. I knew I would never grow tired of him.

The excitement had been buzzing around the entire reservation as Christmas grew closer; just a few days away now. It was so hard to keep the gifts I had bought Jake hidden from him. He had such sharp eyes and living together only made it that much more difficult. Most of them were stored at Sam and Emily's to keep Jake from snooping around our house looking for them. He hated the suspense of not knowing what I got him, but I was more than positive he would love his gifts. They weren't extravagant, but that wasn't the type of man Jake was. It was crazy how well you started to know someone after so much time together.

Emily's gentle shaking of my shoulder brought me out of my thoughts. I smiled at her softly before returning to stirring the muffin mix. Christmas dinner was a big thing around here that everyone gathered for. Besides the big gathering, Emily always made cinnamon roll muffins to leave at everyone's house on Christmas morning. She was incredibly sweet and everyone here loved her for it. Emily sighed as she slid another pan into the oven. I looked over at her with concern.

"What's wrong? That's your, 'I hate everything' sigh." She laughed at my comment before sitting on the barstool across the counter from me. She rested her head in her hand before groaning.

"I want my period to leave before Christmas." Emily whined while clutching her stomach. I laughed at her before reaching into their medicine that they stored above the kitchen sink. I grabbed some all natural ibuprofen supplement and handed her some. She smiled gratefully as she swallowed them with a glass of water. "Shouldn't you have been miserable this entire week too?" She asked sarcastically after a moment.

Since Emily and I were so close, our periods had become in sync with one another. It always drove Sam and Jake crazy that they had hormonal women at the same time. It was odd though… I always started before Emily. With my pondering, I walked to the kitten calendar they had on the wall in their kitchen. I flipped to the month before and counted the days until this month.

"Stop being crazy and tell me what you're thinking!?" Emily exclaimed while coming to stand next to me. She looked at me with bewilderment as my eyes were wide at the thoughts running through my head. Emily shook my shoulder softly once more, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"I'm late..." I whispered. Emily's eyes went wide with shock and excitement. I could almost feel it radiating off of her.

"Are you sure you counted right?" She asked, looking back to the calendar. To please her, I counted once more, out loud, and she squealed. "We've got to be sure! C'mon! Let's go to the store!" She let out a cry of her excitement as she dragged me out of the house and towards Sam's truck. I could feel the nerves bubbling in my stomach as she sped towards the store. The questions racing through my mind seemed endless.

Emily pulled up to the gas station in La Push and ran inside. I was grateful that she was doing most of the work for me in this moment. I'm pretty sure I was too dazed by the idea to react properly. She was inside for a couple minutes before coming back out to the truck with a small brown bag. She sped back down the street towards her house and nearly threw me through the bathroom door once we were inside.

"Are you going to watch?" I asked with a thick layer of sarcasm. Emily rolled her eyes and stood outside of the door. I followed the instructions on the box and left the little piece of plastic on the sink as I left the bathroom. I could feel my pace quicken as the time took forever.

"Okay…" Emily murmured, grabbing my shoulders and halting my pacing. She looked into my eyes and I saw the friendship we had burning in them. "Take a deep breath and let's go look." She said quietly. I did as she instructed as we entered the bathroom, hand in hand. We both peered down at the little stick. A gasp left me as Emily's joyful shriek filled the small area.

I was pregnant.

I slowly sunk to the ground in the bathroom; hyperventilating. Thoughts full of fear began to race through my mind at hyper speed. I barely turned 21 a few months ago and now I'm expecting a baby? Was I ready to become a mother? What if it changes Jake and I completely like it did for my parents? I always blamed myself for their split; the stress was too much and it just drove them apart. Renee has reassured me a thousand times that it wasn't the case, but I couldn't help my underlying guilt.

"Bella, look at me." Emily murmured while sitting down in front of me. She took my face in her hands and forced me to look at her when I didn't respond. Her eyes were full of caring and love and it brought a reassuring feeling over me. "Take a deep breath so you can think clearly." I actually listened to her advice and I was able to breathe again.

"What if I'm a horrible mom?" I whispered with fear coming over my body once again. Emily sighed and stroked my hair softly.

"Bella, you are one of the best people I have ever met. You care so much about others and always put them before yourself. You're loving and so sweet to everyone that you meet, even strangers. This baby is going to have the best mother and father possible, no doubt in my mind." Emily's voice rang out with confidence. My best friend knew all of the right things to say to comfort me and I couldn't have been more grateful for her.

"Do you think Jake will be excited? We've never talked about having kids…" I trailed off while fiddling my thumbs together. It was difficult to bite back the tears that threatened to escape at the thought of Jake being upset by this.

"He's going to be ecstatic. You see him with Sarah. He loves her to death; now just imagine his own child? Sure it might seem a little scary since you're both young, but I have faith in both of you that you will be wonderful parents." Emily had a small smile on her face while she rubbed my shoulders gently. I reached out and hugged her tightly. God, what would I do without her?

"Thank you so much Emily. You made me feel better about all of it and now I'm actually a bit excited." I smiled at her and the smile on her face grew. She squealed happily which brought out a laugh from me. I loved this woman so much. She truly was special and one of the biggest parts of my life.

"I get to be a godmother!" Emily exclaimed enthusiastically before helping me to my feet. We embraced once more before she pulled away. "I have the best idea on how to tell Jake!" Our giggles and excitement quickly consumed us as Emily talked away about her idea. It was perfect.

Well, I didn't have it in me to not post this chapter once I finished writing it. I really want opinions on how I'm doing or what you think of the plot, so reviews would mean the world to me!

Also; a giant thank you to my reviewer TwistedNeiviv! She has left tons of helpful advice in her reviews on how to make accurate Native American traditions instead of just oddball guesses. You're a lifesaver!

On another note; yay! It's baby time for Jake and Bella!

Let me warn you; things aren't going to go how you expect. I came up with a really intricate plot for this story, so be prepared!

Things are finally starting to pick up pace in my story! I really love this fanfiction and have a place in my heart for it. It's going to get really crazy and I'm so excited!

Thank you to Robin.D and barbiedoll123 for being faithful reviewers and reading my story! I really appreciate it!
