EPOV

I though leaving Carlisle and Esme would be difficult but found it rather easy. Unlike the last time I left, broken and destroyed by my own hand I might add. A dark time where I though so foolishly that Bella would be better off with out me. What an idiot I was, if Bella hadn't come after me, well let's just say I wouldn't be here now. But I am here now and married to the love of my existence. I was so proud of her this evening. Bella is usually one to keep quiet and let things roll off her back, she is selfless and giving, sometimes to the point of being taken advantage of. She doesn't like being the center of attention and confrontation makes her uncomfortable yet she stepped or I should say jumped out of her comfort zone to stand up for me! I have never seen Bella react the way she did, to say that I am proud seems inadequate.
As we turned on to the 101 I took Bella's hand.

"Love, I think you should call Charlie and tell him where we will be."

"Okay" she replied and picked up the phone. "I am going to put it on speaker. Hello Dad"

"Hey Bells"

"I have you on speaker so Edward can join our conversation. Alice didn't take our eloping very well so Edward and I are going to be staying at his cabin out by the 101."

"Mmm Okay, which cabin Edward?" Charlie asked.

"I own the one on top of the hill all the way in the back, If you don't know it is there you can't see it." I answered

"I know which one you are speaking of. I have seen it when I am out on patrol. So, Alice didn't take kindly to your news then?

"No Daddy she didn't. She actually slapped Edward and I lost my temper. I am so angry Daddy." Bella sobbed.

"Oh baby girl, you did what was right for you and Edward and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Charlie cooed to his daughter. "Edward, you take care of my girl and I will come out to see you tomorrow. I have Carlisle calling on the other line. I love you two and remember be happy" and with that his disconnected the call.

We drove in silence for awhile longer and then I was pulling up in front of our cabin. I got out of the car and ran around to Bella's door at vampire speed, startling her.

"Edward!" she exclaimed. "I can't wait till I'm a vampire then you won't be able to sneak up on me!"

Chuckling I helped her out of the car and couldn't stop myself from scooping her up in my arms, at vampire speed of course! Laughing Bella just snuggled into my chest.

"Come love, let me show you our new home."

"Carrying me over the threshold?" Bella asked

"I'm nothing but through." I quipped. "Now do you want the tour or would you like a human moment? I am sure you feel funky since our flight."

"What I would like is to have a long soak in the tub with my sexy husband."

"Anything you wish my beautiful wife." I set her down in the bedroom pointing to the bathroom. "I'll get the water started and you can get your toiletries if you like." I said as I turned around to look at her. Even though I don't need to breathe she took my breath away. Her long dark hair hanging loose to her waist, auburn highlights glinting in the dim light, the royal blue bra and panties against her luminous skin, if my heart were beating it would have stopped. She was breath taking. As I looked at her, her cheeks began to flush and she dipped her head down so her hair would cover her face. "Oh no, you don't get to cover that face! I look at you and I see my world." And with that I had her in my arms kissing her with all that I had in me. I lead her to the tub and reached to unhook her bra. As I slowly removed it I left a trail of kisses down her chest to her belly, then I placed my lips on her panties and proceeded to removed them with my teeth. I could smell her arousal. "MMMM Bella. I have to taste you." I sunk to my knees and placed her right leg over my shoulder. Firmly wrapping my arms around her waist I rubbed my nose between her folds. Carefully I started to let my tongue explore her warmth. Ambrosia! I couldn't get enough. This was better than blood..the best thing I ever tasted. Working my tongue on her clit I moved one hand down and slowly inserted my finger, as I tasted her I added another finger .

"EDWARD" she moaned. "Oh oh EDWARD!"

Hearing her shout and moan my name as she climaxed almost brought me to my own. I stood up, still holding her of course and carried her to the tub. I stepped in slowly lowering us into the warm water. I felt her hand reach around for my member. "Bella, this is about you. I want you to relax now and then I am going to wash you and when I am finished I will take you to bed and make love to you for the rest of the night." She just nodded her head. I am still having a hard time believing she agreed to marry me, to spend eternity with me. I am one luck bastard I thought. Grabbing the sponge I squirted some of her body wash on it and took my time bathing her. "Would you like me to wash your hair?" She just nodded again. So again I took my time washing and conditioning her hair. "The water is getting cold love, are you ready to get out?" Another nod which caused me to chuckle. I stood up lifting her gently and setting her down, grabbing a towel off the warmer I dried her off and then myself. Taking her hand I lead her back to the bed room and on to the bed where I kissed her deeply my tongue exploring her mouth.

"Make love to me please." she begged.

I placed myself at her entrance and slowly slid home. Home that is what I have been missing all these years. I had a house a place to rest my weary mind but it was never a home. Bella became my home because well, she is my home.
"Oh love I am not going to last much longer." I felt her tighten around me and as she reached her climax my own came spilling out. "I love you my Bella, thank you for loving me."

"Edward, I love you with everything I am, everything I have, don't thank me just love me."

Kissing her forehead I held her close." Sleep my love. I'll be here when you wake." I said as I began to hum her lullaby.

Holding my Bella in the dark of the night was paradise for me. The closest thing I could get to sleeping. Her mind silent to me, and we were far enough out that there were no other minds present. I don't think she realizes how peaceful she makes me feel. To have quiet, no inner turmoil, no lewd thoughts of others. How lonely I was living in a house with three other couples, waiting to find my one, my soul mate. I had finally found her and was never letting her go. In a few short weeks I would bite her and she would join me for eternity. Again I am one lucky bastard.

"Edward?" I heard Jasper's inner voice. "May I speak with you?"

"Hang on Jasper, I'll be out in a minute." I answered. Grabbing my pants and shirt I was dressed and quickly at the door. "Come on in. What can I do for you?" I had no idea what he wanted as he was blocking his thoughts from me.

"I am sorry to bother you, I know you would rather be with Bella but I just couldn't put off seeing you. First I have to apologize for Alice's behavior. I am truly sorry Edward, I knew she was upset but to act the way she did. I understand why Bella says it is unforgivable. Second I wanted to tell you what went on after you and Bella left, I feel it is important that you know. After you pulled out of the driveway it was silent for a good ten minutes. Everyone started talking at once until Esme held up her hand. She then proceeded to tell both Rose and Alice off. She told Rose that she behaved like a jealous brat and that it wasn't becoming and that she had better truly get over her issues or she and Emmett could move on somewhere else. Next it was Alice's turn. Esme told her that she was disgusted with her and had enough of her behavior and that it was best if she packed her things and left for awhile. She told Alice that it wasn't forever but her rancid behavior tore apart the family and Esme couldn't look at her for now. Alice huffed and looked at me and asked if I was coming. I broke my own heart and told her that I needed a break and that she should go to Paris and I would meet her there in a few months, that I had to deal with all that happened and I knew that she wasn't sorry about the way she acted, she was angry and indignant that she didn't get her own way. She tried the but Jazzy bullshit with the pout and I had to tell her to can it. I am thinking about going down south to visit Peter and Charlotte for a bit but have to consider Esme's feelings first. She is devastated, and will be here to see the both of you in the early afternoon. Through all of this Carlisle said nothing just stood by Esme's side and nodded. He hasn't said a word since you left and the feelings I get from him are horrendous. He is angry, heart broken, proud, sad, you name it. It scares me that he is not speaking I am afraid that when he does it will be another verbal beating for both Alice and Rose."

"Jasper, none of this is your fault. Bella and I along with Charlie discussed this and decided that eloping was what were both wanted and needed. Bella and I are quiet people, we don't like to show off and prefer to do things low keyed. I know that a big wedding would have ended in disaster. We both feel that Alice didn't learn from her last cluster fuck of a party." I raised my eyebrows so I wouldn't have to mention the fiasco that was Bella's eighteenth birthday. " We have both since long forgiven what happened that evening and my wife has come up with a theory on why you find it so hard to resist. She thinks that it is not because you are the newest to our diet but because you are an em path you feel your own thirst plus the thirst of six others. I believe she is right."

"I never really thought of it that way" Jasper was in deep thought. "I do believe you are right, it would make sense I have been away from the brutality that was my life for so long and never wanted to know what my prey was feeling before I took them again. Hmm something to really think about. Thank you Edward."

"No thanks needed my brother. What are your plans for the rest of the night?"

"I wanted to talk to you and then I am going back to the house. Hopefully Alice would have left by then, I don't think I can handle another scene."

I could hear someone running towards us. "Emmett's coming he is about a mile out. I can hear his thoughts."

"Ed. YO Edward Incoming!" Leave it to Emmett to try and lighten the mood. "Hey baby bro, did ya finally get some?"

"What do you think EM, and is that what you are here for, to talk about my sex life?"

"Nah bro I just thought I would see if Emoward had come to call." he said while slapping my back. "I really just wanted to see if you and Baby Bells are alright and to tell you what happened after Jazzy here left. I figured I could find Jazz here too and kill to bears with one stone!"

"Get to the point Emmett!" I sighed

"Okay when Jazz left, I guess Alice had a vision she kept ranting about being all alone and it was all her fault. Then Carlisle finally spoke, he looked Alice dead in the eye and said of course it was all her fault, her pushing for her self serving visions is what caused this whole mess. He also said that it was all of our fault as well since we allowed her to guilt us into doing what she wanted. He then looked at the rest of us and went on about he lost his son and daughter because of our behavior meaning Alice and Rose, and that he couldn't bear to look at either one of them, the pain they inflicted on you and Bella but most of all his Esme was unacceptable. He said that he was beyond words and that he didn't think the damage could be repaired. He told Alice that she needed to leave for a while and then told Rose that if her behavior didn't change she would be asked to leave as well. He said that he was a peaceful being at heart and he realized that eight different personalities coexisting could be difficult at times but he was so disappointed in Alice and Rose's attitudes that he was way beyond livid. If Alice and Rose couldn't control themselves and learn to accept and love the family for who they are they would no longer be welcome in the family. Rose tried to speak up and blame it on Edward for bringing a human home. Carlisle literally roared I though he was going to dismember her. He actually yelled yes Carlisle yelled! Told Rose that this was exactly what he was talking about, Bella is Edward's mate and wasn't I human when she found me? That she begged him to change me with out my permission. If anyone was a selfish bitch it was her and that she needed to leave for the night cause looking at her made him want to vomit. Rose asked me to go with her but I just shook my head and came here."

"Wow Em, I am sorry you had to go through that." I said while putting my hand on his shoulder. "I really don't care about what is going on with Alice and Rose right now I am too angry, I am terribly worried about Esme though. She really is the one who is suffering."

"I call bullshit Edward. Don't you think the one suffering the most is Bella. We all know how self sacrificing she is and will be blaming herself for this whole mess in the morning if she isn't already." Jasper stated while Em nodded his head in agreement.

"Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed. "We have incoming. What is this Grand Central Station? What the fuck does she want?" Emmett jumped to block the front door of the cabin while Jasper took a protective stance. Then Alice appeared out of the trees.
