Chapter One-Enjoy the Silence

(Nadi's POV)

Two whole weeks. For two whole weeks I've been married to Sam, officially Mrs. Uley. Ugh, that makes me sound like a teacher or something. Nadi Uley is fine with me. Everything for the past two weeks had been perfect, from our wedding to our, (ahem) wedding night, and every single day spent here in New Zealand with my love has been absolutely perfect. Of course, nothing can last though. It was our final day in New Zealand.

I blinked my eyes at the harsh sunlight streaming in the windows and rolled over to face Sam. He didn't miss a beat, pulling me flush against him and kissing my forehead. He pushed my short hair away from my face and smiled against my skin.

"Wanna take a walk before we have to leave?" He murmured. I didn't say anything, just nodded.

I was enjoying every single second of our time here. Especially the silence, I knew as soon as we got back to the house that silence and alone time with Sam would be virtually non-existent, with the boys running in and out and Leah's imprint causing her to "fur out" every time she spoke to him.

Slowly, I pulled myself into a sitting position. Sam followed right behind me, barely letting his hands leave my body. We slipped into some comfortable clothes since we'd be flying later, and we left our hotel room.

We walked along the same hills we did when we first got here. Sam surprised me when we first got here when he looked down at the sprawling landscape and happily exclaimed, "It's just like Lord of the Rings!" I ended up laughing so hard at my little nerd wolf he didn't speak to me for nearly ten minutes. While I was trying to recover from my fit of laughter, he'd sat down on the edge of a hill.

I tackled him and we both rolled down the hill. When we stopped, Sam looked so bewildered, that it made me laugh even harder.

I smiled at the memory as we walked along the same hill. I bumped Sam's hip with mine and said, "Are you sad to be leaving here Giant Frodo?"

He rolled his eyes. "Sure you won't miss the cliffs, Sumatran?" He countered. I smiled back at him remembering another memory.

We were walking through some cliffs that I recognized from the movie, "Dead Alive." I had bounced in place and cried in my best New Zealand accent, "This monkey is coming with us!" I even ran away from Sam screaming, "He's got the bite!" That earned me a few looks from some of the locals.

Hey, you'd be surprised too if some over six foot tall, Native American woman went running past you screaming a quote from some obscure horror movie. Sam didn't like that I'd left him in the cliffs alone, but I made it up to him on the beach that night. I mean I really made it up to him, if you catch my drift.

We walked on in silence for a while before heading back to the hotel and packing up all of our stuff. We were still silent, just enjoying each other's company when we boarded the airplane a few hours later.

Sam leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Do you want to join the mile high club?" My eyes widened and I faced him.

"SAM! How could you even ask that? That bathroom is so small we'd end up breaking a hole in the wall and falling to our deaths!" I whispered back.

He laughed and sat back against his seat. I took my hand in his and sat back in my seat. Before I knew it, I'd fallen asleep.

After what seemed like no time at all, Sam shook my shoulders gently and said, "We're landing in Seattle."

Finally! I thought and sat up. I stretched as best I could in the limited space I had. Even though Carlisle had purchased us first class seats, I still had little room to move around in.

Sam and I were a little hesitant to let Carlisle pay for the wedding and honeymoon, but he insisted since he was father of the bride and it was tradition that the father of the bride paid for everything, that he should be able to pay for it. We finally gave in to his requests and let him pay for everything.

As soon as we landed, Sam and I were off the plane; we'd been on there for far too long. Sam automatically took my hand and led me through the airport. I paid little attention to what we were doing, as I was too busy leaning on Sam.

Sam was collecting our luggage when I smelled him; his sweet, vampire smell hit me like a ton of bricks. It was the scent I not only recognized, but I loved, it was Carlisle. I spun around to find my "father". No one else knew we were coming home today. We'd told them we were going to be home at the end of the week. Sam and I wanted a few days at our home together before the pups ruined it.

Carlisle and I spotted each other at the same time. I nearly ran to him, ignoring his prickling scent in my nose. I'd been away from him for too long and it felt like I was drowning in bleach right now.

Carlisle pulled me into a nearly bone crushing hug. It was the same way he'd hugged me on Sam and my wedding day. I hugged him back just as tightly.

"Welcome back, honey. I missed you." Carlisle said as he pulled away.

"I missed you, too!" I exclaimed cheerfully as Sam walked over to me. Carlisle took some of my bags from him and we started walking to the car.

I immediately turned to Carlisle and began my questioning, "How is everyone? Is Emily adjusting to her new life well? Did the boys tear my house apart? Are they staying well fed? Has Embry's mom talked to him? Did the boys get all of Sam's stuff moved into my house? Did they get all of Embry's stuff moved into Sam's house?" I stopped to take a breath. Sam and Carlisle were laughing at me.

Carlisle said, "Everyone is well. Leah misses you the most; apparently her imprint is infuriating for her to be around. I know she'll tell you all about it later. She's talked to Esme as much as she can, but she really needs to talk to you." He said smiling at me.

Then he looked in thought for a moment. "Emily is doing quite well. She's gotten her gift mostly under control. Alice and Emmett are chomping at the bit to play baseball with you guys, but Emily wants to wait a few months so she gets her gift more under control. She's afraid she'll hurt one of you by accident."

I nodded. We'd reached the car now. Sam and Carlisle loaded everything into the trunk while I climbed into the front passenger seat. They got everything in and got into the car with me. Sam stretched out in the back seat.

Carlisle started the car and continued answering my questions. "Your house is fully intact. They got all of Sam's stuff moved in and then Jacob ordered them not to go back. Embry is quite comfortable living in Sam's old house now. The boys spend most of their time over there. In fact it's where they went almost as soon as you guys left, but then they realized they had to eat. So they all came up to our house and Esme, Edward and Emily cooked for them. They've had a wonderful time hanging around Emmett and Jasper all day. They wrestle and play video games, like little boys." He laughed and Sam joined in from the back seat.

I sighed. Even though they were werewolves and had the responsibility of protecting their tribe from vampires, they really were just kids. Neither of the men in the car with me picked up on my sudden sadness for my boys and Carlisle continued talking.

"Alice wants to talk to you about a birthday party for Bella. Her birthday is in a few weeks and I think she wants to have a party for her." He smiled at me and turned his gaze back to the road.

Before I could answer, Sam spoke from the backseat. "That means it's almost Nadi's birthday, too."

Carlisle looked confused, "What?"

Sam said, "Well, Nadi doesn't actually have a birthday, so we decided that since she moved here in September of last year, then that would be her birthday."

Carlisle nodded and then asked, "Do you remember exactly what day you moved here?"

I thought for a minute. "It was the day that Edward left Bella. I think that was about five days after her birthday."

"Awesome." Sam said. "Nadi's birthday is September eighteenth."

I smiled. "You better not forget it either." I teased him.

"Oh, I won't." He promised firmly.

We had reached La Push and were almost home. I sat up straighter and smiled at the familiar sights around me.

Carlisle pulled into my driveway and I almost cried at the sight.

"Tell me they didn't do this." I begged Carlisle.

He laughed and said, "The boys insisted. Emmett, Jasper and Edward even helped."

Before we left, my house had been painted a soft white color; the pack had painted it a beautiful deep shade of blue. They had also built an eight-foot tall privacy fence around the yard.

Carlisle, Sam and I climbed out of the car. Carlisle put his cold hand on my shoulder and said, go look in the back yard.

I walked around the house to the back yard. The fence they had built didn't block the woods from view, so we could still walk in and out of the woods easily. They had built a small shed in the corner of the yard.

There was a sign hanging on the door of the shed. I looked closely to see what it said. 'Sam's Crap.' I laughed.

Sam came up behind me. "What are you laughing at?" He asked. I pointed to the shed.

He sighed. "Sounds like something Paul would do."

Carlisle looked like he was trying to hold back a smile.

"It was Paul wasn't it?" I asked him. He burst out laughing and nodded. We walked around to the front of the house. I went inside while Sam and Carlisle got our stuff out of the car.

Luckily, the inside of my house was untouched. A few of pictures I knew came from Sam's house were in the living room. Carlisle came into the house, placing my bags on the floor. He walked over to me and hugged me.

"Come to the house whenever you're ready okay? Everyone's over there dying to see you two." He said and then pulled away, kissing my forehead. He walked past Sam, placing a hand on his shoulder and nodding at him, then left.

Sam walked over to me and pulled me to his chest. We stood there in silence until Sam asked, "Wanna go upstairs?"

I pulled away from him, and then ran up the stairs to our room. Everything looked the same for the most part. Sam came into the room behind me. I spun around to face him and backed up. He crouched down a bit and stalked toward me.

I backed up until my back hit the wall opposite the door. Sam smirked. "Where you gonna go now?"

I didn't answer, just darted to my left and into the master bathroom. I slammed the door and laughed loudly. Sam wrenched the door open before I could lock it. I backed away from him, trying to hold in my laughter. Sam was smirking, but I could clearly see the desire and lust pooling in his eyes.

I backed up more until, the unthinkable happened. I tripped over my hair dryer and fell on my butt. What the hell was it doing in the floor? Oh yeah, our wedding day. I looked up at Sam, who was laughing so hard he was shaking, but he wasn't making a sound.

"Go ahead and laugh, Giant Frodo." I said, pouting. He didn't say anything or stop laughing. So I picked up the hair dryer, and I threw it at the wall behind him. He jumped in front of me, thinking something was attacking us.

He was crouched low in front of me with his butt in my face. So I did what any normal person would do in this situation. I put my hands on his butt and pushed him away.

Sam did a face plant on our bathroom floor, which caused me to laugh hysterically. Sam was laughing too, so I knew I wasn't in trouble.

"What the hell is wrong with you two?" A deep voice asked. Sam and I looked up to find Paul and Leah standing in our doorway. "I could hear you guys laughing from the Cullen's place."

What was wrong with us? Sam and I never acted like this. I shrugged and said, "Long flight home, made us loopy booger mush trolls."

Leah laughed, while Paul looked at me like I'd just asked him directions to Orbit City. Sam sat up and leaned against my legs, smiling and still laughing a little bit.

I looked at Paul and Leah and said, "What are you guys doing here? We told you we weren't coming home till the end of this week."

Paul said, "We were all over at the Cullen's when Carlisle came home smelling like you two. He said he was at work, but we figured you guys were home so we came to see. Everybody else is downstairs."

Leah took this moment to look to her left and saw my hair dryer lying on the floor. She shook her head and said, "Did you throw this poor thing again?"

I shrugged. Sam asked, "Again? When did you throw it the first time?"

Leah laughed. "You guys wedding day, I'm sure she'll tell you all about it later."

Sam stood up and pulled me with him. As soon as I was standing, Leah hugged me and whispered, "I need to talk to you soon about Eric."

I pulled away, "Who is Eric?"

She got this dreamy look in her eye and I knew it was her imprint. She said, "He's my imprint." Ah, I knew it.

I asked, "Well what's he like?"

Leah smiled bigger than I had ever seen her smile before. "Well, he's really creative, artistic, he loves music and," She said the same dreamy look in her eyes, but then they darkened, "He is oblivious to anything that goes on around him, all he wants to do is play hacky sack, get high and skateboard! He is so infuriating!" She started to shake slightly.

I grabbed her shoulders, "Leah! Calm down."

She did and then mumbled a sorry. I smiled, "Shall we go see everyone then?"

A/N: So the title for this story comes from the song "Beast of Burden" by the Rolling Stones. I don't know why I picked that name, it just happened to be playing while I was thinking about a name and BAM! Just like that my story has a name.

Also, this chapter is called "Enjoy the Silence" after the song by Lacuna Coil.
