Life isn't always what it seems, something I had learned in the past few years. Thinking life was cut and dry... turns out, it wasn't. Astonishing me was the twist and turns life takes, unexpectedly.  

Edward Cullen  

This book is were I go off the rails from Twilight. This is the book I was disappointed with when I read the series and also the one that forced me to write the story in the first place.

I warn all who read, I will not follow BD, this is the story as I saw it happen. Some may like it. Some may not, but this is what starting me on my journey of writing and I wouldn't have it any other way. At the present time I have four chapters of this story written and will try my hardest to keep at it and finish it within a reasonable time frame.

Hope you enjoy!

My name is Bella Swan. I'm 32 and still single. While all my friends have settled down and started their families, I'm still hanging around, looking for Mr. Right. I blame books; they've ruined me and gave me unrealistically high expectations of what my perfect man should be like. How am I supposed to settle down when no one I meet matches up to my book boyfriends?

"And even though I know somewhere in his twisted heart he loved me as much as I still love him—maybe more, in some ways—I know I couldn't stand to live with him anymore. He was killing me, slowly and painfully, and I had to go."

This story is a retelling of Breaking Dawn. It sticks to cannon up until Bella and Edward are back from Isle Esme, from there on it's all mine! In a way this is how I wish Breaking Dawn was written. However, the major focus of this story is on Edward and Renesmee's relationship rather than Bella's experience. So if you're a Dadward fan this story will appeal to you! (or at least I hope it will)

Welcome to the Academy! Bella Swan, former American Ballet Academy Prima Ballarina and Ballroom dancer, finds herself employed with her friend Alice Cullen at Alice's families dance academy. As a Seattle institution the Volterra Academy of Dance received national acclaim when the dance prodigy signed on, but is that the only purpose when the Cullens hired Ms. Swan or did they have hopes that she could teach more than just the students something?

He's convinced he's happy, spreading the love for dance through the younger generation, but that all changed when he spied a brown haired stranger. He saw the way she moved at the club and now he can't get her out of his head. He tells himself that it's best that he doesn't know who she is.

What if Edward finally found his mate, but she had a troubled past and wanted to kill herself? Could he help her? This story has DARK Themes and Rape discussion.

'The story of us', was 'Bon Secours'. And 'Instructions Not Included', was 'Bon Secours the sequel'. Sorry to throw you off, but a name change was a must. 

Sequel to 'The Story of Us', if you didn't read that, please do so before you read this. The title says it all, since children do not come with an instruction manual. This picks up right where the original leaves off, 'The Story of us' epilogue. If you liked that, you will LOVE this. How will Edward and Bella deal with a house full of teenagers? There's flashbacks, more drama, more lemons, much more humor, and a whole lot of story. 

Doctorward is there too, just like the first story. 

It's incredibly long because we have the (A) story, which is Edward and Bella. Then we have the (B) story, which is EJ and CC, their two oldest children. 

Points of view will fluctuate. Chapters will be split, since there's essentially two stories in one. 

Rated NC-17 just in case for Lemons and Language galore
