Existence was hard, harder than I would have believed even a few years earlier. Being involved with Bella opened my world to things I wouldn’t have thought about before. Being human was far more difficult than I’d given them credit for, knowing now how wrong I truly was. And even after all of this… I wouldn’t change one thing.

Having her was the most important thing, and anything that came with that I would deal with. As long as she was with me, we’d be all right. Together we could conquer all. She was my existence now, and I couldn’t wait to exist.

What’s a girl to do when she determines that there aren’t any good men left?  She creates them.  Bella Swan was unlucky in love, so she started creating dream men in fiction.  She wrote about the kind of man she’d love to meet and fall in love with, and for the amount of time it took to write her romance novels, she felt like she had a love of her own.  It wasn’t real, but in her opinion, real love wasn’t something that was within her grasp, so the fantasy was better than nothing. 

One day, suffering from writer’s block, she went to the corner café for a change of scenery.  When a cowboy tripped over her purse, she was so captivated by his appearance, that she had inspiration for a new character in her latest book.  He walked away with only a few words in her direction, and all she had was the visual of his green eyes and wild hair to go on, but for her, it was enough to fuel her imagination.

The stars at night are big and bright…deep in the heart of Texas.  Life holds mysteries that one can never fathom, and maybe there’s such a thing as fate.  Maybe, every once in a while, fate gives a hand to a lonesome cowboy and a romantic at heart…sometimes with a little help from a rabbit.

AH/OOC.  Canon couples.  Rated NC-17 for a reason like always.  Saddle up…we’re going for a ride.

NOW COMPLETE!  We all wailed a collective 'ugh!' on the fade to black scenes during Edward and Bella's honeymoon, not to mention the frustratingly limited Jacob POV.  This canon story fills in all the holes that were left by SM -- mostly from Edward's detailed POV.

Enjoy a captivating look at the romance, emotions, music and imagery of Bella & Edward's honeymoon, the struggles of the pregnancy, the bliss over Edward hearing the unborn child's mind, the harrowing birth, and finally Edward's joy as he bonds with Nessie during Bella's transformation.

They told me on my eighteenth birthday, after Jacob had left. They told me that in a month I would be moving away, to live with a man a decade older, and run a household that I had never seen half the world away from home. I was given a blank manila envelope. It contained two pieces of paper; one was a contract, the other was a letter.

Mostly Bella POV, but other POV's are given periodically.

NC-17 for language, violence, and sexual themes in later chapters.
