Set during Eclipse when Edward and Bella are back together adn trying to work out their relationship. Jacob is not happy that Bella is back with Edward after everything that happened when he left her before.
Bella and Edward continue to grow in their relationship regardless of the trouble that a very angry and very jealous Jacob tries to cause. That is until Jacob finally snaps and does something that will change his, and the rest of the characters lives, forever.
The story contains lots of Cullen fun, romance, drama, violence, angst and a few lemons thrown in for good measure.

The story begins six months after Edward left Bella in the forest, but unfortunately things have taken a darker turn than our beloved SM wrote. This is the tale of how Edward and Bella eventually find their way back to each other, although it is a difficult road traveled. There will not be any reference to the events in Eclipse or BD.
Rating: NC-17 is for lemons sometime down the road!

Date: 22 Oct 2010 Title: Chapter 33: Chapter 32: Of Prayer and Purpose
Goosebumps..... that's what I've been reduced to. That was an amazing chapter!!! I had a feeling this was going to happen. I just.. I have no more words... it was beautiful. I loved when Bella told Carlisle that Edward was the first member of his family and I seriously had tears when Bella told Edward she would see him in biology.
Heartbreaking, but absolutely amazing! :D

Date: 21 Sep 2010 Title: Chapter 29: Chapter 28: Of Baths and Beds
Wonderful chapter! It was sad reading about everyones goodbyes. Her goodbye with Carlisle was touching. I hope she'll see him again.
I'm curious as to what's going on in the present. I know this story is Bella's, but will we have a peek as to what's going on in the present with Edward and everyone? I wonder if Carlisle has memories of Bella from the past.
Great story, I love this so much. This is truly my favorite!! :) Until next time...
Author's Response:
Carlisle is going to be keeping in touch with Bella to let her know what's happening with the epidemic, so he'll be around to some extent.

QUESTION!! I found your story on Fan fiction and read through chapter 19 when it was pulled. I've had it favorited on this website since then, but have been waiting for chapter 20, but I see it's changed. This chapter 19 isn't the same from when it was on fanfiction. Did you change the entire story or just a few chapters? Where should I start from to catch myself up since it's different now? :) Thank you!
Author's Response:
Hi, ya..I changed in chapter 10.. I realized that Bella's character was a little out of place..so chapter 10 and up is all different. Sorry about chapter twenty..she will meet aro again but that is further up.

Thank you Salix Caprea for the lovely banner:
It has been four years since Edward left Bella in New Moon. There were no werewolves and Jacob was never more than Bella's friend. Bella has just graduated from college when Edward accidently crosses her path and finds himself being drawn back into Bella's life. But Bella is not the same teenager he knew. She is a grown woman with a very grown up lifestyle. This tells the story of how Edward, realizing he can't live without the love of his existence, and with the help of all of the Cullens, endeavors to win her back. There are some laughs along the way. The story is EPOV and rated NC-17 for sexual language and content.

As Bella yawned and stretched, her hand hit something soft and feathery. She opened her eyes and saw her fingers resting on auburn hair. Warm green eyes smiled happily at her. She sat up quickly and glanced around the room before turning back to the person in her bed.
"What are you doing?" she asked, slightly confused at his presence.

Bella sat down next to Edward on one of the front porch swings. She turned and leaned her back against the side, pulling her right leg up and underneath of her. He turned his head slightly and smirked at her.
"How does it feel to be an old man?" she asked, trying to hide her smile.
He smiled widely and shook his head. "I'm not old."
Bella laughed and shook her head. She noticed that his smile fell as he stared off into the sunset. She nudged him with her foot and he turned to give her a small, sad smile.
"In my mind, I feel like I'm still 22," he sighed. "I haven't really celebrated a birthday in almost five years."

Bella laughed brightly during their back and forth banter, but noticed Emmett's stiff posture out of the corner of her eye. She bit her lip and decided that there was no time like the present to find out just what his problem was. She looked up into Edward's face and smiled.
"Do you think you could go check on Jack, to make sure he remembers his helmet and pads? He has a tendency to forget things when he gets excited."
Edward nodded and grinned before turning and heading up the stairs. When he was out of sight, she whirled to face Emmett and put her hands on her hips.
"What is your problem?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," he replied in a voice as blank as his face. She narrowed her eyes and took a step forward, so she wouldn't have to raise her voice.
"Yes, yes you do. I want to know what problem you have with me, that makes you feel the need to glower at the back of my head whenever you don't think I'm looking. Pretty soon Edward or Jack are going to notice, too, and I'll be damned if I let that happen. Both of them have already been hurt too much without adding you to the pile."

Jack curled up with Bella on the couch opposite of Edward, who was propped up with a ton of pillows. Her hand absentmindedly ran through the boy's hair and he hummed a contented sound. She heard a soft laugh come from Edward and looked up to see that he was smiling adoringly at her and Jack.
'Is it worth it?' She thought. 'Is potentially falling in love with him worth the heartache I'll feel at the end of the summer?'
His eyes moved up to hers and sent her a brilliant smile that made her breath catch in her throat.
The better question to have asked would have been, if it was even possible to avoid it happening any longer.

Esme's eyes turned hard and her lips formed a frown.
"Well, then, I guess there's nothing left to say, is there?" She said in a cold voice.
"Esme, please. I'm not trying to hurt you," Bella replied softly. She had expected this reaction, but it still stung.
"It's a little too late for that now, Bella." Esme stood from her spot behind her desk and silently left the room.

Thank you so much for reviewing! Over 1000 for this chapter alone between here and FFnet! You guys amaze me! The Monday teasers are up on the Blog. (kitsushel.blogspot.com)
Parachute is up for three Walk of Fame Awards: Angst Goddess, Queen of Hearts and Story of the Year. It's up against some major big ones like University of Edward Masen, Master of the Universe and Emancipation Proclamation, so I don't hold any expectation other than getting squashed like a bug. I am also up for three writing awards as well: Rising Starlet, Hopelessly Devoted and Musical Maestro.
I would adore winning the Hopelessly Devoted award. It's for the one writer that you know you can always count on. I think I've proven to you guys over and over that I'm "hopelessly devoted" to you, with the weekly updates and review replies to each and every reviewer. If you head over there and end up feeling that another author up for the award deserves it more, please follow your heart and vote for them. I just ask you to please keep me in consideration. ^_^
That being said, here are your promised teasers! The first from the next chapter of Parachute and the second from Victoria POV that I've written for the Fandom Against Domestic Violence fundraiser. =)

Parachute ~ Chapter 36 Teaser:
Bella stood, drenched head to toe, in the middle of her front lawn. Hot tears streamed down her face as the chilly rain pelted her skin. Her mouth was open slightly in shock, as she gazed down with wide eyes at the man she loved more than life itself. Edward's hopeful, joyous face grinned up at her from his stance on one knee. The ring held in his hand was a single brilliant diamond that was simple, yet elegant.
"Isabella Swan, I have been captivated by you since the moment I first laid eyes on you. That love only grew and expanded as I got to know you and saw first hand what a wonderful mother you are to our son. Forever could never be long enough for me, to feel like I've had long enough with you. Marry me?"
She covered her mouth and let out a sob, before throwing her arms around him and shouting, "Yes!"
They fell together, a mass a limbs and lips, their hearts beating both beating wildly. He pulled away slightly and pushed a lock of rain-saturated hair from her face.
"Let's go inside, please. I don't want you to catch a cold."
When they stood, his eyes were drawn to her white shirt, now completely plastered against her bare breasts, her nipples hard and straining against the fabric. His hand reached out to brush against her breast, causing her to become self conscious and cross her arms across her chest. She laughed lightly and nodded her head towards the house.
"Come on, let's get dry."
Edward let out a loud guffaw. "I'd rather keep you wet, love."
His hands wrapped around her waist and he pulled her back to his chest as they tumbled into the house. Sopping wet clothes soon littered the foyer floor and hands roamed greedily.
"Where is our bedroom?" he asked huskily, sweeping her into his arms.

Victoria POV Outtake ~ "In the End" teaser:
I won't ever be remembered for my common sense. I know most of you hate me and I'm fine with that. I deserve it. I was a bad, bad girl. For those of you who don't know my story, I'll start at the beginning.
My mother married my father for his money and power. When she'd finally had enough, she left and took half of his net worth, including me. He never seemed to mind. He sent an obscenely large support check once a month, but it always felt like a buy-off. Once he re-married and began a family with his new wife, our interactions were even fewer. Who knows how I would have turned out if he had made more of an effort? He's just as much to blame for my upbringing as my mother is. He knew how she was, yet he still didn't lift a finger to keep me.

Beautiful ending... I had some laughs and some happy tears. You've done a wonderful job!!! So sad to see this amazing story complete.
Author's Response:
Once again, I want to say thank you so much for all of the love and adoration that you guys have given to me and Parachute! People are going to get tired of hearing me say how much in awe I am of my readers and their giant hearts, but it's so very true! This story wouldn't have been nowhere near as good as it was nor had the kind of response that it had without my loyal and fuckawesome Verucas! (Heh, haven't heard that in awhile, have we?) I am prostrate at your feet. (Not to be confused with prostate, lol) I owe you all so very much!
The blogs have undergone some work over the past two weeks. KitsuShel.blogspot.com will now be used as a hub for everything that I write, with links to actual story blogs. Parachute's will remain up, just under a different name. Parachuteff.blogspot.com My next fic, Rabbit Heart's blog is up as well. There are a few pictures and teasers up there as well. =) RabbitHeartff.blogspot.com
Rabbit Heart will start posting this Friday, February 18th and will follow the same update/posting schedule as Parachute. I hope that you guys decide to continue on that journey with me as well. =)

Teaser from Rabbit Heart Chapter 1:
The streets were eerily empty as the girl stealthily slipped out of the Beverly Hills house, although one could quite easily exchange the term mansion in its stead. Her shoulders were hunched as she made sure her hood was firmly covering her blond hair, her back laden with only an over-stuffed backpack and a guitar case. She needed to escape quickly, unseen, and today was the best time to make that happen. It was just after eleven pm, on Christmas Eve and there was practically no movement on Santa Monica Boulevard. She traveled on foot for almost three miles before coming across a cab running on the desolate streets.
She quickly stowed her meager possessions in the backseat before climbing inside.
"The nearest Greyhound station, please," she requested as softly as she could, but still within the driver's hearing range.
The older man glanced at her in the rear view mirror. If he thought anything was off about the way she kept her face hidden, he made no mention of it.
"Heading home for the holiday, sweetie?"
"Something like that," she murmured, staring out of the window and watching the lights pass by. They reached their destination in just under fifteen minutes and she handed him a $50 bill.
***NOW COMPLETE***
Bella Swan had led a very ordinary life. She'd married her college boyfriend only to be betrayed when he left her for another girl. After the death of her father, she pulled out a map and threw a dart. The implications of that one simple act would surprise her beyond her belief. She found a home...she found a job...could she find love again after surviving a cheating husband? Only time will tell. What secrets will the beautiful stranger she meets have and how will she deal with them?
AH/OOC. Canon pairings, with twists. NC-17 for dirty language, a smattering of BDSM, and the usual lemony goodness. If you wouldn't read it with your mother standing over your shoulder, you shouldn't be reading it at all!
