Honeymoon, Revised

Based on the book Breaking Dawn, written and owned by Stephanie Meyer.

For my first FanFiction I wanted to rewrite something that actually took place. I always wished the honeymoon part was longer and more detailed, so I rewrote it.

Please read and review, it is greatly appreciated!

~Bella~

"Bella, love, time to wake up." An angel's voice sang. I must still be dreaming. "Bella," I felt a cool finger trace lightly along my cheek.

"Edward," I said with a smile, eyes still closed. So I was right about the angel.

"Would you like it if I carried you? You must still be exhausted." He had me in his unfailing arms before I could answer. He was right, I was exhausted, I guess a wedding complete with thirsty vampires and grumpy werewolves will do that to a girl.

"No, it's okay, I want to walk." I wasn't tired anymore, curiosity was overcoming me. It was so dark I could barely see my own hand in front of my face. But I could see Edward, his pale skin was beautiful in the moonlight, perfect.

"Of course you do," Edward teased as he flashed the crooked smile that made my heart quite literally skip a beat. He set me down on what appeared to be pavement. I looked around and realized that we were exiting a taxi, on the right hand side of a beat-up road. The wind was warm on my face, it felt good.

"It smells like fish." I announced as I took a few steps forward, I was trying to guess where we were. As my eyes slowly started adjusting to the darkness, I realized that nothing looked even remotely familiar or expected. It sure didn't look like any of the honeymoon destinations I'd listed in my mind as possibilities. It was too hot to be Hawaii, too cold to be Florida. Mexico maybe?

"Well we are near the ocean," Edward explained, "so that sounds about right." He started laughing and I got goose bumps just from the sound. I looked behind me and saw that he was helping a short, chubby man with dark skin, who I assumed was the taxi driver, unload our suitcases out of a yellow rusted car. I had no idea how many bags were mine; Alice wouldn't let me have anything to do with packing. The thought of what she had packed made my stomach turn.

"So, we're near the ocean then," Before I could start guessing locations Edward's angelic voice interrupted.

"Rio. We're in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil." He said trying to hold back his laughter. I could tell that my ignorance regarding our honeymoon destination thoroughly amused him.

"Rio," I said slowly as I squinted my eyes, trying to take in a better look of our surroundings. I couldn't see any hotels, houses, cottages –nothing, maybe we were camping. I really hoped we weren't camping. The last time I was camping it got a bit awkward. Arch enemy sleeping in the same sleeping bag as your soul mate –it can get a bit tense. I shook my head at the memory that seemed so far away, the best friend who seemed so far away. No, I was not going to think about that, not tonight of all nights! "So, where will we be staying," I trailed off, trying not to sound disappointed. I was just married to the love of my life, my reason for being. I had no reason to feel disappointed, Edward was mine, forever.

I heard Edward exchange quick words I didn't understand with the taxi driver, and I seen him hand the driver a thick wad of colourful bills. I cringed when I thought about the amount of money that was in that wad. Edward walked over to me carrying two big suitcases, which probably felt more like feathers in his strong hands, I imagined he could carry one hundred suitcases if he really wanted to.

"This way Bella," He directed with a nod to the left. I didn't see any hotels in that direction. I started to bite my bottom lip as I worried about having to camp. I didn't want my honeymoon ruined do to me thinking about Jacob, who probably hated my guts right about now. He must have seen the anxiety in my face. "We are not staying here, we have to take a boat to get to where we're staying." I exhaled in relief.

A few moments passed and I could see a small dock resting on top of the glistening crystal clear water. There was one boat bobbing in the water, a very fast looking boat.

When we arrived at the dock a few minutes later Edward agilely tossed the suitcases into the boat and picked me up in the same smooth action, "Ready?" He said wide-eyed.

"Ready." I confirmed with a nod. He jumped from the dock onto the boat easily, it didn't even rock. He set me down gently but didn't let me go. His strong arms were wrapped around my waist and his golden eyes were penetrating mine. I felt my knees go weak, it's a good thing he was holding me so closely.

"I love you Bella," He whispered as he kissed my forehead.

"I know," I choked out. I couldn't find the words to express what I was feeling. I believe I once referred to it as being dazzelled.

He softly laughed and said, "Good." Before kissing me gently on my lips, His cold lips sent chills all over my body. Just as I was reaching my arms up around his neck he pulled away and kissed my forehead again.

"You could keep kissing me you know, I wouldn't mind." I offered, stupid self control.

Edward chuckled and turned the boat on, "We should be arriving in approximately 30 minutes. Do you think you can stay awake for the entire ride?" he challenged with a smile.

"I don't think even a person with narcolepsy could sleep through your driving." I teased.
