AN: Welcome to my new story, an expansion on my one-shot competition entry for the Bad Ass Babes Contest.

I apologise for the one day delay; I forgot yesterday was Wednesday!

I was totally gob-smacked to be chosen for the following awards and stoked to be recognized along with writers I love and have read their published stories.

2nd place Public Vote and Judges Vote

Judges Choice from brwn-eyedgirl01

Thank you to everyone who voted.

The one-shot will be posted at a later date but for now it's included within the following story.

My thanks to MeteorOnAMoonlessNight for always being a star and getting chapters back to me quickly.

Dangerous Secrets

Chapter 1

Now

I really didn't know Edward at all, and right now I wasn't sure I wanted to know him, either.

My little boy was missing and it was all his fault.

But I should go back to the beginning, shouldn't I?

** Dangerous Secrets **

AN: This is the only footnote I'll write - just wanted to assure you that Chapter 2 will be up in a few minutes
