Bella had never really gotten into Christmas when she had lived in Forks, though she remembered how enthusiastic her mother could be about the holiday. She would decorate the house and have Phil hang up lights outside, even if it never really snowed in Phoenix, Arizona. Though contrary to popular belief it did snow if you went a little further north up to Prescott, but she could remember countless snowless Christmases in Phoenix with her mother.
They were happier times. Then she had moved to Forks and a smile out of her then was rare, rarer than it had been back in Phoenix where she had no friends. It was only now that she had five years of memories from the future, five years of time, to understand how volatile and how abusive her relationship with Edward had been, that she was able to finally put that time to rest and move on with her life.
It was why she had told Jacob that she loved him. She wasn't so naïve anymore and knew that the two of them had their issues, but they were workable issues, issues that a lot of normal people had. And she loved him, not because he fascinated her or wowed her with magical abilities. She loved him for how normal he was, how he could make her laugh and smile without even trying.
They weren't perfect, sure, but he made her smile again.
Smiling now as she pressed her forehead against the window in her room, she watched the snow fall outside. Snow might remind her of Forks, but it reminded her of her mother and the fun times they had during Christmas more. It reminded her of Charlie, trying his best to make her feel like Forks was her home too. Turning away from the window, she dug through her wardrobe until she found the jacket she had bought when she had returned to this time. Pulling it on and finding her gloves and hat, she went outside to build a snowman.
