Chapter 4

A/N: Okay so a few notes and then on to the chapter! First I just want to reassure the many of you that were worried when Bella and Edward didn't "try" on their wedding night that I haven't forgotten, but I think it would be a little OOC for Bella to want to do that in a house full of vampires with super sensitive hearing…..they will try don't worry!!!!

Also thanks to the one vote of Vampiress1995 we have a destination for the honeymoon!!! Thanks again!!!

I woke this morning to the best alarm in the entire universe, my husband kissing me and softly calling my name. I opened my eyes to stare into the beautiful face of Edward and said good morning.

"Good morning love. It's time to get up now; we have to get ready to go to the airport for our flight."

"Where are we going, you still haven't told me" I pouted.

He laughed, kissed me again and whispered, "And I'm not going to, you'll find out when we get there."

I laughed to and then got up and went to shower and dress (in clothes obliviously laid out by Alice). We were going to be gone 10 days, I knew that and then we were headed to Alaska where Edward would change me. The family was going to me us there after our honeymoon.

I finished dressing and went out to meet Edward and head to the airport for who only knows where since he wouldn't tell me.

We arrived at the airport and Edward went to check us in. We of course where in first class and boarded the plane first. The call was that we were headed to New York, but I really doubted that we were staying there. When the plane took off Edward handed me an Ipod and headphones and told me I should try to get some sleep. I took the Ipod and started looking through the music list and smiled, it was mostly our songs, but there were also some of Edward's compositions in the play list. I leaned over and kissed him in thanks and tried to sleep.

We landed in New York and had to hurry to catch our connecting flight to Scotland, I was so excited.

"Edward, I can't believe that you're taking me to Scotland. I've always wanted to go there."

"I know that's why were going. I want to show you the world. I actually think we're going to spend a little time in Ireland too. If you want that is."

"I would love that. Is that why we're going to be gone so long?"

"Partly, and partly just so I can have you all to myself. Also it will give the rest of the family time to set up…" he trailed off and I knew it could be only one of two thoughts that stopped him.

"Set up what Edward?" I pushed him to finish is thought.

"Set up the 'accident' that we're going to have on the way home." He said quietly, looking at me for any sign of distress. There was nothing to find. I was finally at ease with the decision to say goodbye to me human life and faking my death was just a part of that decision.

"I'm okay Edward. I'm ready for this and you don't have to hide anything from me now."

I moved as close to him as the seats would allow and laid my head on his chest and sat their contentedly.

"Edward."

"Yes love?"

"What exactly do you have planned for the next 10 days?"

"Well I do have a few surprises, but I thought we'd see Loch Ness, check out a few of the castles across Scotland and Ireland, see Waterford, check out the Blarney Stone, We're going to be landing in Edinburgh and we'll be heading from there in the morning."

"Okay," I sighed contentedly and continued to lie on Edward's chest. I must have fallen asleep again because the next thing I remember is Edward waking me telling me that we were getting ready to land. We landed, disembarked the plane and went to get our luggage. While I waited at the main exit of the airport Edward went to get our rental car. The car was some kind of BMW, but it was nice and Edward put our suitcases in the trunk and then opened the door for me to get in. He was around to the driver's side before I could even get my seatbelt on.

He drove to the most beautiful castle that I'd even seen and stopped the car. The valet took the keys and the bellboys brought our luggage in. Edward and I walked to the desk.

"Name's please" the receptionist asked in her pretty Scottish accent.

"Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen" Edward replied smiling at me.

"Yes sir, you're in the executive suite. Your private elevator is the last one on the right."

"Thank you"

Edward and I turned to go and the house staff brought our luggage. Edward took the luggage and waved them away insisting we would take it ourselves. He opened the elevator with the room key and we stepped in. As the doors opened at the top I gasped at the gorgeous suit before us. As we stepped out of the elevator into the main sitting room it was furnished in plush velvets and silks in navy and wine. Edward went to put our stuff in the bed room and I followed him. The bed was a king sized bed with black satin sheets and a plush wine comforter. I left Edward and wandered into the bathroom with a hot tub, walk in shower and massive bathtub all done in black and white marble. It was all so beautiful. I turned to find Edward standing behind me smiling.

"Do you like it?"

"Like it, no, Edward I love it. It's perfect!"

"I'm glad that you like it, we'll be here a few days."

I looked at the time and realized that I was very hungry.

"Edward I think I need to get something to eat."

"Don't worry, go shower and change into one of those dresses that Alice packed for you. I've made reservations in the castle's restaurant."

"I love you"

"I love you too; now go on before we're late"

I went in and let the hot water relax me before I shampooed my hair and finished my shower, then I got out, brushed and blow dried my hair and slipped into the dress I'd chosen to wear tonight. It was a pretty cerulean color and very sexy. I had plans for tonight and this dress was the first step. We went down to dinner which was very good. After dinner we went back to our suite and I went into the bathroom to change. Alice had packed more Victoria Secrets stuff than I'd ever be comfortable wearing, but there was one. A short blue baby doll nightgown with matching boy shorts. It covered everything well enough, but Alice assured me that it was still sexy. I walked out of the bathroom to find Edward waiting for me in the bedroom. I though his eyes were going to come out of his head when I walked in.

"W-O-W Bella, you look so sexy in that outfit."

I blushed a deep red and Edward moved so fast to hold me he was there with his arms around me before I'd had a chance to realize he'd moved.

"Mr. Cullen I have kept my end of this bargain and now you have a promise to fulfill." I whispered.

"Yes Mrs. Cullen I believe that I do."

He laid me gently on the bed and began to kiss me passionately.

(A/N: Sorry I'm skipping to the next morning now…..but please use your imaginations, they were successful!!!)

I woke the next morning completely naked and laying in Edward's arms with the comforter around me to keep me warm. Edward was half dressed; he must have done that at some point while I was sleeping. I snuggled deeper into his chest rolled over and kissed him.

"Good morning"

"Morning love, did you sleep well?"

"Yes, I don't even think I dreamed last night I was so tired."

He chuckled, "Well I guess that means you enjoyed yourself?"

"Yes, didn't you?"

"I did very much, but it's time to get up now."

I groaned and kissed him hoping to convince him to stay in bed with me, but then decided we had eternity to lie in bed together and I wanted to see Scotland.

I showered and changed into comfortable clothes. We headed out to make our firsts stops.

Our honeymoon passed quickly we sent time visiting Glasgow and the travel museum there. The runes and castles in Angus and Dundee, the women using old fashioned knitting machines on the Shetland Isles and Loch Ness, with out the monster. We then left Scotland and spent a few days seeing Ireland. We went to Blarney Castle, Waterford, and Tara before heading to Dublin to explore and catch our plane back to the states. While our days were full of sightseeing our nights were filled with passionate love making. My life felt almost complete there was just one thing more and then I could be happy with Edward forever.

We took a plane from Dublin to New York and New York to Juneau. At the Airport in Juneau Edward's family picked us up to take us to our new home near Denali. They were going to change me and then I was finally going to get to meet the other coven that they talked about so much.

On the way home I asked Edward if my parent's knew that I was "dead" yet.

"Yes, they found out about 3 days ago."

"What do they think happened?"

"There was a plane crash. We were supposed to take a small plane from Juneau to Denali, but the plane crashed killing you, me and the pilot."

I didn't say anything for a long time till Edward asked "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I just hope that Renee and Charlie will be okay eventually. Charlie especially, he's all alone now."

"He'll be okay, but are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, Edward. Just because I worry about my family don't change how much I need you or want to be with you."

I was just finishing my sentence when we arrived at our new home in Denali. It was beautiful. There was a large forest surrounding the house and there were three smaller cottages scattered around the main house.

"Edward, what are the little cottages for?"

"Well they are for us, Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett. They allow us to be together as couples without bothering anyone else. You'll also be changed in our cottage so that Jasper can get away from the intense emotions involved with changing."

"Oh Edward I can't wait to see everything."

"Your cottage has been freshly decorated to incorporate both you and Edward" Esme told me from the front seat where she was riding with Carlisle.

"Oh Esme thank you so much for everything you've done for me."

"Don't be silly Bella, you're family."

I got out of the car and took Edward's offered hand and we began to walk to the main house. We looked around and saw our room in the main house; it was blue with a white leather sofa and a beautiful view. After seeing the main house we went to see our cottage. It was so perfect. It was also painted blue with a white trim. In the middle of the living room there was a large fireplace. The bathroom was huge and had a shower as well as a massive bathtub. In the bedroom was a king sized bed with navy bedding. It was so beautiful that I started to cry.

"What's wrong Bella? Do you not like it?"

"No I love it, and there isn't anything wrong I'm just happy and a little overwhelmed."

Edward smiled at me and kissed me with such passion that I had to ask.

"Do you want to break in our new bed before you change me?"

"I would love to."

We made love one last time before my change. We were just finishing dressing when Carlisle knocked on the front door.

"Come in Carlisle, we'll be out in just a minute." Edward called and then turning to me he asked "Are you ready for this?"

"Yes" was all I replied.
