Spring was Rosalie's least favorite time of year. It seemed that no matter where she turned she was forced to observe what she could never have. What she wanted more than anything in the entire world. Motherhood.

Year round she was faced with pregnant woman and her jealousy of them. During the spring even her prey taunted her. She had passed up yet another easy target due to the small bear cub sitting no more than 5 feet away. Rosalie knew she was being ridiculous but she couldn't leave the cub to fend for itself and she could never bring herself to kill a baby no matter what the species. Frustrated and thirsty Rosalie pushed forward on her hunt.

As she ran her thoughts began to drift towards her friend Vera and Vera's baby boy Henry. It had been two years since she seen the child but she knew he would be celebrating his 3rd birthday soon. Rosalie pictured the dark curly haired boy sitting at a table with a birthday cake placed in front of him. The flames from the candles danced on his dimpled cheeks…

Her thoughts where quickly interrupted by the most delectable aroma. Human blood. Rosalie froze in her tracks fighting her urge to kill. Just as she was about to turn and run from the sent her ears where invaded with a horrible heart wrenching scream, followed by the roar of a grizzly. Rosalie allowed her eyes to scan the forest for the person in trouble. She saw the huge bear towering over a much wounded man. His dark hair was matted with blood but Rosalie could see the distinct curl to it. He screamed again and his dimples were visible even in his agony. Rosalie's breath caught in her throat as she pictured baby Henry once again.

She was leaping through the air before her brain even registered that she wanted to save the man. She was on the bear in seconds her teeth sinking into its warm flesh. She felt the enormous bear sway beneath her as she drained its strength. Its heart sped up and then stopped. The large animal fell with a loud thud to the ground.

Her ears adjusted to the silence that was broken only by the faint heartbeats of the man lying on the ground. He made no other sound. Rosalie realized that he had passed out she wasn't sure if it was from shock or loss of blood. She inhaled the delicious sent and quickly stopped breathing. Her eyes traveled over the man at her feet taking in his 6'5'' frame, broad shoulders, his obviously muscular physique, his beautiful face, and dark curly hair. All of this was covered in blood and torn clothing.

Her observations took less then 3 seconds before she carefully but quickly gathered the large man in her arms. She ran as fast as she could towards the small town her family was staying in over 100 miles away. She prayed that she would not be too late. The man was heavy but in no way heavy enough to make her sore or tired. Nothing made her sore or tired she smiled a bitter smile at that thought. It was one of the few perks of being a vampire.

The man's eyes opened slightly, only to meet the face of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was very sure that he had died and gone to heaven. He smiled slightly before his eyes slid closed once again.
