Summary:

Bella's first trip to England at Christmas isn't exactly a Dickens novel, especially when her host family's son seems to hate her guts.

I really enjoyed reading this fanfic! I fell out laughing w/ quite a few sections so my family had to come see what was up...Of course they don't get my fascination w/it, but no worries.

Looking forward to reading more of what you have written!

Summary: Past Featured Story

botm

Life in a maternity unit is full of ups and downs!  

Bella Swan, an experienced midwife at Forks Hospital meets the new obstetrician, Edward Cullen and the attraction is instant.

As their hands touched, she gasped softly as she felt the shock of electricity that seemed to pass through their skin.  Dropping his hand abruptly, her brown eyes wide in surprise, Bella stepped back.  Without volition, Bella felt her face flame with another cursed blush.  Damn, she was 26 years old.  When was she going to stop blushing like a schoolgirl?

You captured well what it's like to lose a pregnancy like that. I lost my Amber Mother's Day weekend 1989 just like that and delivering her was one of the most heart-breaking things I've ever had to do. Even after all this time it still is painful.

 

Thank you for your eloquence.

I'm very sorry more people either haven't located this cool story and/or reviewed...it's a real shame.  I enjoyed it greatly and I sad it's not continuing.

I read a lot of ff and, while I don't contribute -yet (love to write but car accident scrambled my noggin a little - not brave enough to share yet), I appreciate the creativity of those who do.  This is one of my favorite types of Twilight ff - I really wish Stephenie would continue the saga b/c I want to see Bella/Edward/Ness more. :-)

Wish you'd reconsider, but understand...

I'm rereading this awesome story and enjoying greatly. I have lived in this area my whole life, currently Mater is less than a mile from me. Sadly, the "real" Mater is no longer there. In his place is an imposter *shock*. He was loaded onto a flatbed (I witnessed) about 3 years ago. I'm unsure of his current residence, but I have a feeling it's in CA-maybe @ Pixar or Cars Land in VS Adventure.
