Ok, this is my challenge story! Hope you like it! It takes place almost 3 years after Bella's change- so she is already adjusted to the vampire lifestyle and is married. Also, she has a power – but you'll find out about that later! Oh, and it is 3 days before her B-Day!
Edward's Point of View
I slammed the door on the Volvo and stalked in the back door of the Ithaca house that we bought about a year and a half ago. This had been one of the better houses we had lived in over years partially because of the fact that I was a married man. My Bella, now my eternal lover stayed by my side almost each second of every 24 hour cycle. Thinking of her change reminded me of another thing- her present. Presents had been getting progressively easier to give Bella. Now that she had been with the Cullen clan for a while, she has gotten used to the fact that she had money to spend. The credit card that stayed in her wallet, the car parked in the driveway. Now that one was the best and worst.
The "after" car that sat in the deepest chasms of the garage in Forks was brought out to her shrieks and screams as to how much money was spent on it. The black and gold Lotus 72D that Rosalie has worked on for me was perfect. I didn't think that her mouth could have dropped more than it did. She started to stroke it and stated that she thought it was "pretty". And then in one romantic swoon she was swept up and we were off to an unbeknownst location for our honeymoon. But of course not without wedding gifts!
The wedding gifts - Carlisle and Esme payed for our honeymoon, one of my favorite gifts. The girls and the boys got separate gifts for each of us. The funniest part was each of them trying to hide them from me. But they successfully hid them and I got completely surprised. They all went shopping and worked very hard. The girls did some extra shopping all over the internet and bought Bella a whole new wardrobe. They got me a private portrait session with Bella with a famous London photographer. Also, the guys got me vacation needs (no need to go into details). They supplied Bella with her "before" car early so she could use it.
The honeymoon was…exciting to say the least. Well, the snorkeling was fun! The private island, mushimushi, was from the dead language Nooksack, which means "love nest". We had lots of fun and good times, GOOD TIMES!
There in my room sat a perfect goddess statue, my Bella. Listening to an iPod and reading Wuthering Heights, again. Her eyes being the only thing that moved. I clicked the door shut and she jumped up to kiss me. The intense passion embrace that we shared was inviting. We broke apart and jumped to the bed.
"Hello, love, how are you?"
"Wonderful, magical, exuberant. Any of those fit the description!"
"Do you know what I was just thinking about?"
"No, I probably wouldn't guess it either so you may as well tell me!"
"Well, just our wedding and our honeymoon, and… "
"Yes?"
"What I need to get you for your birthday."
"Edward, you don't have to get me anything. You know that. You given me everything I ever wanted!"
That gave me an idea – everything, I think not!
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, you better tell me why you just got a pretend light bulb over your head!"
"Well, you gave me the best idea for what to get you! And it is your entire fault! I know just the thing. I have to go for a few minutes, I'll be back!" I gave her a quick peck on the cheek and ran out the back door and started to run towards the forest.
"Edward, I need to speak to you."Carlisle called in his mind. Crap. I had just started to run and didn't want to go back. I raced back up the back steps with Alice turning the corner then in tow and made my way over to the couch near the fireplace. It was my favorite spot in my room.
"Yes, Carlisle?" I was trying to control the feeling in voice. I was just a tad annoyed that he had called me back from Bella's present.
"Edward, I need your permission as to what I wanted to give Bella for her birthday. I feel like you might have a problem. I want to…"
"WHAT!?" I screamed at him. "No, no, no, NO! You may NOT take her there!"
Alice cringed at the volume of my voice. The rest of my family ran down the steps with bewildered expressions and Emmett , always the comic relief cried "What in the name of GOATS is going one?!"
