BPOV

I know that they say that life isn't perfect, but it is on mornings like this that I call their bluff. I can't imagine a life any better than waking up, in the arms of the epitome of perfection to the sun peeking in through the window, knowing that you can literally spend the entire day in bed if you wanted to. As I lay with my head on his chest, feeling it rise and fall with every breath I trace my finger along his stomach and marvel over how we got here. If you would have told me just a handful of years ago that I would be laying in bed, naked, married to my arch enemy and completely blissful about it, I would have to call your bluff along with the proverbial "they."

I really wish that I could stop time like Alice and just sit and watch Edward sleep forever while cradled in his arms, but unfortunately I can't freeze time. I also can't stop myself from sneezing when I get a tickle in my nose. I let out a low whine after I sneezed knowing that I just killed my perfectly serene moment and I felt Edward's chest shake with a soft chuckle.

I looked up at him sheepishly, "sorry."

Edward showed his brilliant smile, "only you would apologize for sneezing." He wrapped his arms around me tighter, "Though you did cut short this amazing dream I was having."

That sparked my curiosity, "oh really? Pray tell, what might you have been dreaming of?"

Edward rolled us over so he was on top of me and brought his mouth to my ear, "Don't get mad," I could feel the smile on his lips as he kissed my neck, "but it involved this incredibly sexy superhero named the Golden Swan, all she had on was her mask and boots."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, you, I and she were having quite a lot of fun." I pushed him playfully as ne nuzzled my neck. He brought his face up to meet mine, "I can show you if you'd like." He gave me the mischievous smile I had learned to love.

"I believe I would enjoy that greatly."

"I believe so too, you seemed to enjoy it in the dream." He laughed and kissed me passionately as I wrapped my legs around his hips.

Life has been, well I wouldn't say the word perfect, but pretty great since the wedding. There have been some really hard times, and confusing ones when it came to our self appointed job. Edward, Rosalie and Jasper have had some difficulty adjusting, but they…well, Edward at least, have not complained too much and are trying their best. I can't say that is entirely true for Jasper and Rosalie, but I don't have to deal with it as much as Emmett and Alice do. It is a good thing that, as the proverbial "they" also say, love is patient.

After the 6 of us graduated college and our personal lives became more serious we decided that it might not be best to live together anymore, especially after Emmett and Rosalie began experimenting during the more "intimate" part of their relationship. I swear I don't know how anyone in the world slept through some of the noise they made. As a gift to us, Carlisle, my uncle and adoptive father, had houses built in a small private community for each of us and him and his wife Esme moved in to one as well. We have always been a close knit group…well, let me retract that statement, once some personal conflicts between us original superheroes and those of us who might have played for the other team were resolved; we have been a close knit group. We were all family and cared and protected each other as such.

Protecting the world has kind of been our job for as long as I can remember, and after a short stint of not being able to help due to a run in with a power draining villain named the Tracker, I appreciate every day that I have my powers. When Edward, Rose and Jasper joined our side things were a little weird at first. We were so used to fighting them that we weren't sure what to do, and they were so used to fighting us and plotting evil tasks that they weren't sure what to do. As time went on other villains have come to the area, and we sometimes travel to other parts of the country to help protect those in danger.

Edward collapsed on top of me completely out of breath but still leaving soft kisses along my collar bone. "So, how did that compare to that dream of yours?" I asked him, he raised his face to mine.

"The real thing is always better than the dreams." He smiled as he kissed me, "except for that one time on our honeymoon that you let me into your head and I got to do everything I could imagine to you." I blushed just thinking of that, I admitted that day that it was a good thing he could get in there sometimes. Edward propped himself up on one arm and brushed my red cheeks with his free hand. He always loved making me blush.

As I looked in his eyes, I thought of the old Edward, the one that used to be my "arch enemy" and all the times we fought and almost killed each other. "Do you miss it?" I asked knowing he could tell what I meant, even if I had seemingly spoken it randomly.

Edward thought for a moment, "Honestly?" I nodded, "Sometimes," he looked down. Why? I thought not thinking of the fact he could hear my thoughts, "I don't know, I guess it was just more…fun, being the one plotting and scheming rather than the one trying to stop it all." He tried explaining. "Plus," he added, "I think you found it more exciting when I was bad for you." I gave him a suspicious look and wrapped my arms around his neck thinking of the time he offered me a ride home after a detention he caused and smacked my butt on the way past. "I knew it…" he smiled and kissed me again.

Suddenly Edward pulled away from the kiss, "uh oh, we aren't alone anymore."

My eyes grew wide, "You have to protect me!"

"You know I am completely defenseless in this situation," Edward pulled the comforter over both of us mere seconds before we heard it.

"Knock, knock. I know you are indecent in here so cover up!" My current greatest fear walked in the room, Alice Brandon soon-to-be Whitlock-Hale a.k.a. Hourglass. I closed my eyes and held Edward close as if I could make us both invisible…yet another power I didn't have. "Edward, surrender my best friend and I promise not to cause you physical pain." Edward chuckled at this threat, I warned him to stop moving and maybe she wouldn't notice us.

"I'm sorry, all requests must be submitted in writing," he responded, thinking he was being clever. He must have forgotten who he was talking to because we heard paper being waved in the air. Alice could see the future, and the past. She knew exactly how this encounter was going to go and was prepared for that smart ass remark. "Request denied."

Alice growled, "Are you really going to make me freeze you and steal her making me suffer seeing both of you in your current state of undress…AGAIN?" I blushed and giggled thinking of how last time Alice "needed" me while Edward and I were in a similar situation I unfroze in a robe while she took advantage of Edward's inability to move and dressed him in my clothes and took a picture.

"Give us 5 minutes," Edward pleaded. Alice reluctantly agreed and warned us she would be timing us.

"What is 5 minutes going to do for us?" I asked him as his hand slid down my side.

"Well, I know it is typically not enough time for us, but, I was thinking…you could always slow things down and make it last longer." Edward reminded me of the time I may, or may not, have used the power I got from Alice to make time go very slowly to my own advantage during one of our intimate times. I gave him a mischievous smile and agreed.

A very long 5 minutes later.

"Ok, time's up you hormone driven children," Alice called as I was slipping on my sneakers.

"She is all yours," Edward replied quite satisfied in bed with the blanket covering loosely from his hips down and his hands behind his head.

Alice came in and looked at us with disgust, "You make me ashamed that I unknowingly gave you that power."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," I told Alice with an unconvincing smile on my face.

"Let's go, we are going to be late to the bridal shop." She complained and motioned me out of the room. I snuck one last kiss to Edward before she pulled me out of the room. "I swear you would think you two were still on your honeymoon rather than being married for almost a year." We got in her car and sped off to town.

Alice became a complete control freak the second Jasper decided to pop the question. She didn't even wait for him to ask, once she saw that he decided to do it she whirled to where he was (at my and Edward's house discussing it with us) and threw her arms around him repeating "I do" over and over again. From that second when she wasn't fighting the injustice in the world she was in full on wedding planning mode, which according to her involves fighting injustice as well.

Today we are looking for her bridal gown, she knows exactly what it is going to look like which you would think would make it easier but instead it makes it very difficult because we have been to about 12 different places and have yet to find it. She swears that she is supposed to find it in some off the beaten road small town shop…I am not sure how many are left that have been unchecked but today we are heading to one in La Push.

Rosalie was smart enough to drive separately AND to bring snacks and baby books. Emmett and Rosalie have been married for 3 months and Rosalie is two and a half months pregnant. Alice almost freaked out when she found out because she said that Rosalie didn't seem pregnant in her vision of her wedding, but then she figured that she just needs to get married soon before the "baby bump," starts growing noticeably. Rose thinks it is crazy that Edward haven't tried the baby thing yet, Edward always likes to assure her that we are practicing but we aren't quite ready to try it out for real. The truth is, I just don't think about having a baby very much. It's not that I don't want one, it's just that…can you really expect to anonymously fight crime with a child growing inside you? The answer is no, hence the reason Rosalie has temporarily retired from any sort of super-anything. I'm just not ready for that.

Rose and I suffered through another four hours of Alice trying on almost half the dresses in the shop, even though she knew they weren't "the one" before Alice stopped dead in her tracks. We thought she saw the dress and searched frantically in the direction she was looking in, but she was having a premonition. Our shopping trip was about to be cut short and we would have to return another day to try on the other half of the store, now however, it was time for business. We thanked the Bridal attendant who had been suffering with us for her time and made another appointment for tomorrow before sprinting out of there and whirling to Carlisle's house to discuss the newfound threat.

I bet some of you were hoping for some action right off the bat, but I thought it would be best to ease back into it. Hope you don't think it sucks too bad so far!

as always reviews=love and feel free to be as harsh or loving as you wish to be!
