I was in heaven. I was laying in bed with the most beautiful man in the world, my husband. It was still an odd feeling knowing that I was married but it made me so happy knowing I was Mrs. Edward Cullen now.

The sun was radiating over the whole Island with a blanket of warmth and sunshine. Isle Esme had been a present from Carlisle to Esme. It quickly became the most beautiful spot in the world. Edward knew I would love this place so he asked to come here for our honeymoon. It was the heat. After a year and some months of pure rain and darkness in my new hometown of Forks, Washington, this was well deserved and Edward knew that.

Married. Taken forever. Spending all eternity with the man I loved, a vampire, at least I hoped so. I still yearned to become a vampire like him so that we could be a married couple forever but Edward wasn't having any of that. He was very persuasive when it came to making points as to why I should stay human. Most of the time I rolled my eyes but he did make me think about the reasons he would give.

Many nights I would whine to Edward telling him how I couldn't get older without him. He would never age and I was getting older by the minute. He didn't understand why I wanted to be a vampire, all he knew was that my soul was too precious to take away from me.

It had been all day and we were still in bed. At least I was most of the time. Edward never slept so he was always fixing me food when I was too tired, or swimming in the sparkling ocean waters, or off hunting. I had forgotten he needed to hunt for the first week on Isle Esme. I remembered he needed to go hunting when I woke up in the middle of the night and he wasn't there. He left me a little note on the bed.

Mrs. Cullen,

I should be back before you wake up but

just incase, here is a little something to

keep you company:

Bella my new bride. I can't stop thinking about you.

Watching you sleep is so peaceful but I had to go to

shore so I could hunt and spend more time with you.

Go back to bed and I will be there when you wake up.

Mr. Cullen.

"Wow!" I said allowed as if he was here speaking the words. It took my breathe away. I held my hand to my heart knowing how much he truly loved me. A tear of joy streamed down my face. I was getting even more emotional these days and I hadn't realized why.

I quickly went to the bathroom. I haven't gone all night and it was now 5am. Without thinking I pulled down my shorts and panties. I sat and did my thing while looking at the beautiful picture on the wall across from me. It was a picture of this house on this very island. It looked small and quiet but very beautiful. It was charming. Then, just as I was looking over the small details of the house in the picture, I felt a cramp in my side. I looked down into the toilet and I was bleeding.

"Oh, great...my period. Just what every girl wants on their honeymoon." I muttered to myself as I frantically looked through the bag that was near me that held all my girly essentials.

"Whew, thank-you-Alice!" I sighed a breathe of relief.

I had forgotten to pack my bags before the trip so thankfully Alice helped me with that. She knew everything I would need, including tampons. I got up and washed my hands before getting something quick to drink and heading back to bed. I knew Edward would want to cook me breakfast in a couple hours and I didn't want to deny him that joy.

I fell asleep rather quickly in the huge white bed in the middle of the room. It was my favorite place to sleep. I never wanted to leave this bed. Either it let me relax and rest to start my day all over again or it was a place where I could show Edward just how much I loved him.

"Edward! I love---." I started to murmur in my sleep. I was cut off mid-sentence from the coolness of a kiss on my lips. It woke me up. Edward was back and he heard what I said and decided to stop me in my tracks and kiss me. He didn't know what I was thinking but I knew he understood what I was about to say.

He was leaning over me just looking into my eyes as I wiped them to wake up more. It was 8am and I was feeling my stomach start to ache. He heard it grumble and knew what I was thinking without having to hear my thoughts.

"You need to eat now. You haven't had anything to eat in a while so how about I make breakfast? I'm thinking something hot. Would you like eggs and bacon?" He questioned looking at me like I should know what I want just because I was human and ate all the time.

"Sure, Sure. That's fine. I could use a hot meal." I muttered just loud enough so he could hear. I was still waking up and my voice was weak. He didn't seem to notice though.

* * * * * *

It was late afternoon. The sun was beginning to grow dimmer although it was still bright and beautiful. I would guess it was around 4pm. Edward wanted to go hiking and explore the island before it got dark but I couldn't do that today. He was keeping me busy everyday and I think I knew why.

"Edward, I need to ask you something and you can't get mad." I told him looking down while I wiggled my toes against the cool wood floor.

"What is it bella? Is something wrong?" He questioned looking very confused.

"Well...no not exactly. Theres just something I need to ask before it gets too late." I replied making him feel a little more eased but still on edge not knowing what I was about to ask.

"Go ahead, I'm curious now."

"You keep me so busy on this island and we've only made love one time...." I let my question drift off more as a statement. "It's just, I love you Edward. Why can't we make love more than just the one time? I mean you said you don't want to hurt me and I love that about you but you aren't going to do anything to me that would really hurt me. I trust you. I love you!" I began crying as soon as that last part came out. I couldn't hold back my feelings anymore. It was even harder to say knowing that I had to tell him how I felt unlike when he was with other people and he could just read their minds and know instantly.

Without having to think twice he moved so that he was on top me of me. He kissed my lips. I could feel his icy breath entering my mouth as I let his tongue inside. His hands running up and down the side of my body. I couldn't resist giving into him. Thank goodness Alice remembered to pack me some sexy lingerie. I remembered to put on a black lacy 2 piece lingerie set that I found in the luggage. I had it on under my shorts and tank top. Then, without making too big of a deal I had to speak up and tell him.

"Edward I can't tonight. I have my period." I told him with an embarrassed look on my face. The blood was rushing to my cheeks and I know he noticed.

He stopped his hands and ran it along my cheek. I could tell he was frustrated but I knew he would understand. After all, it wasn't something I did to myself. This time I didn't cause myself to bleed by doing something reckless. I was in the hands of mother nature now and she was playing a cruel trick on me while I was on my honeymoon.

"I was wondering why you smelled a little different." Edward mentioned as soon as the color came back to my face. "What I mean is...your smell was stronger and I didn't know why. It was as though you cut yourself again and the blood was fresh. That's why I went hunting. I didn't know if it had been too long and my senses were too strong to say no to you. I can never loose control of myself around you Bella." He told me looking into my eyes and holding me closer to him. His arm was wrapped around my waist.

"I know."

It was all I could say to not make him feel bad. I could see me being human was hard for him but I had no idea why he wouldn't want to take those fears away by making me a vampire. I know he didn't want to take my soul but was it really worth it?
