A/N: AHHHHHHHH! FAGE is finally here and I didn't miss the deadline this time around! Of course, Miss VampMama had to drag out her whip to make sure I got the memo, but I submitted to her will finally and signed up before it was too late! YAY!
I was so excited when I got my prompts this year! LyricalKris requested a fic written from a commercial where a guy pulls up to a stop light and is checking out the lady next to him – then suddenly a stuffed animal comes flying from the back of the vehicle and hits the guy in the head! So cute – I searched Google trying to find this commercial as I knew exactly which one it was, but I came up empty handed. Anyway, that's what this fic is based on!
Kris – I hope you enjoy my version of your prompt! Big huge thanks to breath-of-twilight for her awesome beta skills and for turning this around in like 24 hours! I was cutting it close this year! *wipes brow*
I made a playlist of all the songs in this little fic! Check it out here (just remove the spaces): www . youtube playlist?list=PLZunCHNzROUARPcEjdxtnowFTnditmeBe
The awesome Mina made me a gorgeous banner! I've never had a banner made for any of my stories and it's so mesmerizing that I just want to stare at it all day! Seriously...it's gorge! Go check it out!

Prologue
July 2012
Champagne Supernova ~ Oasis
The setting sun cast an orange glow against the intricate stone on the outside of the church. I stood, rooted to the spot at the back of the parking lot, waiting for the bride and groom to exit the church. It was masochistic, but I needed to see the proof with my own eyes. Finding love was hard, but finding love and letting it go was nearly impossible. I knew that as soon as I saw his chaotic reddish-brown hair leave the church, my heart would shatter, perhaps never to be repaired.
Suddenly, the back door of the church burst open and Mac stumbled towards the parking lot. My legs jerked towards him, but I stopped myself waiting to see if anyone would follow him out. He looked around the area, his eyes wide with fear, until he spotted me. His lips spread into a wide grin as he skipped towards where I was standing.
"What are you doing out here, Mac?" I asked gently as he wrapped his arms around my legs. His red hair was a mess just like his father's. His bluish-green eyes were an exact match, too, and the little tuxedo he wore was just adorable.
"Where's Ronnie?" he asked, ignoring my question.
"With her Aunt Rose and Uncle Em," I replied calmly. "Would you like to tell me what you're doing out here?"
"Daddy doesn't want to marry her," he whispered. "I don't want him to marry her either, Bella," he cried. "I want you to be my mommy."
"Oh, baby," I sighed and reached down to pick him up. I snuggled him into my arms and set him on the hood of my BMW, wiping at his tears.
"Daddy loves Tanya," I explained gently.
"No, he doesn't. I know he wants to marry you. He's happy when he's with you," Mac replied. "He's not happy when he's with Tanya," he said, spitting her name with disgust. It broke my heart knowing how much this child had gone through in the four short years he'd been alive.
"Maximilian George Masen," Edward bellowed as he stormed out the same door that Mac had just burst through. He looked around the parking lot frantically until his eyes landed on us, then he visibly deflated with relief.
"Mac," he breathed as he strode towards us. "What are you doing, buddy?"
"Hangin' with Bella," he replied happily.
"I'm sure Bella has better things to do?" he suggested as he glanced at me.
"I…uh," I mumbled, scrambling to somehow explain my presence at his wedding that I was not invited to.
"I don't want Tanya to be my mommy," Mac spat at Edward, his attitude bleeding through his childish innocence. "She's mean and she never plays with me."
"Mac," Edward groaned. "I can't go through this with you again, bud. Tanya and I are getting married and that's final. Christ…she's probably in there now wondering where I am," he grumbled, mostly to himself. "She loves you, little man," Edward supplied gently. "She's a really busy lady, that's why she doesn't always have time to play with you."
"Bella's busy too, Daddy, and she always plays with me and Ronnie," Mac pointed out.
"Mac," I interrupted, "you're going to have to go in there and keep your chin up. You can come play with me and Ronnie anytime, buddy. Okay?" I asked gently, my eyebrows raised. Momentarily, I was thankful that Mac was there because it was growing increasingly difficult to keep my tears at bay. Having Mac as a distraction was a blessing in disguise.
"But…Bella," he cried, his eyes growing wide in confusion. "I know you love Daddy, and he loves you. Why can't the two of you get married?"
"Maximilian," Edward scolded him. "Bella is happy with Garrett, and I'm happy with Tanya…" he hesitated slightly, and I took that moment to correct him.
"I'm not with Garrett any longer," I whispered.
"Wh…what?" he breathed. "When did that happen?"
"A few months ago," I said and shrugged.
"I…I have to go…in," he murmured and jerked a thumb towards the church. He grabbed Mac and started walking towards the church.
"I'll see you soon, Mac," I said and waved cheerily, even though, deep down, I was anything but cheerful. I watched them enter the church and climbed back into my vehicle. I'd decided that I couldn't stand to see Edward and Tanya in happy matrimony right after their vows.
A/N: I'm going to put the links for the playlist and the banner on my profile as well - so if you can't figure out the whole space thing then the actual links will be on my profile!
I'll be posting this short fic-let throughout the day - right now I'm in the middle of cleaning my house in preparation for v6.999999 (almost 7)'s b-day party which is happening this weekend! Plus I have to find some time to make cookies today for him to take to school tomorrow! I promise all chapters will be posted today though!
Hope you enjoyed the prologue! More to come soon! XXOO
