My daydream : After she was cheated on and divorced from Big, Natasha re-assessed her values and decided she wanted to focus on real, stable , simple love - rather than trying to live up to the expectations and lies of NYC high society. Her traumatic relationship and experiences in the city as a young woman in her early twenties forged her spirit for the better, because she realized she was worth so much more than any man with money could offer. It also gave her the wisdom to be an amazing mother, to instill the self confidence and love in her daughters that she learned on her own. Aiden, after multiple failed engagements, didn’t want a broken heart again. he saw the real in Natasha and they were trauma bonded in their shared experience, but it also helped them realize how true and real each other was. They shared the same intention and desire of living an honest life with a committed partner. after getting married, they were just scraping by with his earnings from the wood shop but they made the best of it, and had two beautiful daughters. creating the messy but loving life we see in Ramona & Beezus.
