This is amazing! Ah, it reminds me of everything I wanted from those scenes when they were finally bonding in those scenes in Breaking Dawn. I especially really like the Rosalie characterization in this - I think you captured all of her insecurities and obsessions really well, and the way her attitudes (especially towards Bella) have shifted over time. I also like the contrast with Bella, and how they're on the same page with the baby but they still have so diametrically opposed desires in other things, like becoming a vampire. I think the give and take between the two of them throughout worked really well! And the ending is perfect, it's a wonderful resolution for Rosalie and so many of her issues and just makes me love the pairing even more.

Thank you so much for writing this, it was a pleasure for me to read!
