Hi! I'm Arizona. I'm 30, married to my flipping awesome husband of 8 years, and ummm...and surprisingly inarticulate sometimes for someone who can't seem to stop talking. It's a curse.
One of the reasons I love Twilight is that it is such a picture of how we all have the same basic nature (like vampires, right?), but we can make a choice about who we will be and how we'll live. Some of us eat people, and some of us don't. *smirk* It's a deep metaphor, I promise. I have it all *points to head* right here.
Enough with being deep. I like to laugh and be ridiculous. I like to sing and write and take pictures.
And I have two cats: Spark Plug (who my mechanic husband named) and Emma.
Oh...and a couple of twi-fic related items:
I hate Alice.
I love Carlisle (almost better than Edward, even).
...and I'm AzHale on Twitter.
Oh! btw...I'm pulling my multichap fics. I know hardly any of you will care, but it bothers me that they've been on hiatus so long. I'm focusing all my creative energy on A Heart of Flesh. Once I've got that under my belt, I'm start posting here again.
Sorry. :/

Summary:
We all believe that Edward and Bella are meant to be together...but what if there’s more to that than meets the eye?
What if there are forces at work that they don’t understand? How will they cope with events that have no discernable meaning?
This story starts out two weeks before Bella and Edward’s wedding. But, right away, things go wrong. They struggle with mishap after mishap, all the while wondering if they’re destined to be at the center of conflict and angst.
All the major characters of Twilight appear. Canon couples. Lemons in various chapters. This is a more realistic view of Edward and Bella’s relationship before the wedding. He certainly wouldn’t carry her off to a desert island alone, having never even touched her. They would have experimented a bit.
Eventually all characters get their Happily Ever After. I just drag them through hell before we get there. No characters die before their time.
And I’ve adhered to canon up until the story starts—Post Eclipse. After that, it diverges from SM’s version. So...no Renesmee. No pregnancy.
I’ve poured my heart and soul into this story. It took me over a year to complete. I thought about it constantly. For that hard work and diligence to form, grammar and style, I’d like just one tiny thing from you, the reader.
I’d like a review. If you love it, if you hate it, if you’re just indifferent and will never look at it again, I’d like to hear that. It’s not a lot to ask. So...I’ll say thanks in advance for the wonderful reviews you’ll leave after you read each chapter!

Summary: Set in the summer after Twilight, 2 weeks before the beginning of senior year, Bella wakes up one Saturday morning to find a sleeping, HUMAN Edward beside her.
"It was late August and we were going back to school in two weeks, so every single day had become invaluable to me. To be treasured, remembered forever, saved for a time I must leave to allow her to pick up her life as if I had never disturbed it.
But what about now? If I am truly human, that is no longer the case. I can give Bella everything she ever wants, everything she deserves. A real life, a husband... children? I have no need to leave her. I can stay and love her forever... If she’ll have me."

Summary: 
I tilted my head closer toward my wife’s tummy, though I didn’t necessarily need to do so in order to hear the baby’s budding thoughts, but I wanted to be closer, still marveling over everything that was happening. Oh, I’m sorry – I’m so sorry for every doubt I had. I’m sorry. Everything was suddenly becoming extremely sharp – I now understood exactly why Bella was so ready to give her life up to make sure this child lived.
Because, I knew that if it were me, I would make the same decision – my life was nothing compared to that of my child’s.
Edward's experiences spanning from when he first hears the baby's thoughts until Bella awakes from her change (with a little steam in the middle).

This story has a blinkie
On Isle Esme Edward feels compelled to share with Bella something about his past and his sexuality. Slightly OOC but fundamentally in Canon.
So, my preys were all male, and if men had that effect on me … maybe I was gay indeed. I could not reconcile myself with what my body seemed to tell me but, what did I know? So I decided to try, and be certain.”
Bella gasps and cannot hide it from him. Did he, did he really…?

Edward was fulfilling his dreams. His residency was almost over, he had a gorgeous fiancé, and he was ready to move forward, starting a family…until a devastating break-up and a health scare in his family shake his foundation.
See, sometimes, life doesn’t go the way you want. Sometimes, things can happen that change the course you choose. And most of the time, it takes courage to walk down the new path.

“There was no other blood like this. Once she was gone, it would no longer be within my grasp. But if I stopped now, she would heal. Her body would make more. The blood would replenish. I could drink again. The promise of more – it was the only incentive that could have caused me to stop.”

I blushed. "Thank you."
“You ever thought about posing nude?”
My head went up in shock and I half expected to see one of those gotcha smiles plastered on his face. There wasn’t though. No, instead he looked deadly serious, like he was already taking my clothes off with his eyes. I felt the sudden need to cover up.
