Previously: He leaned down and kissed his way up my spine until he reached my neck. "You are absolutely amazing."

"I know," I shrugged and smirked.

Edward laughed and pulled out then his fingers found my ribs and they started to wiggle. "Well aren't you a sassy one?" he continued to tickle me for another five minutes when I cried mercy.

Later that night, I made s'mores in the small fireplace and we cuddled until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. What do you expect after the day I had? Edward carried me to bed where he covered us both in the comforter and I quickly fell into dreamland wrapped in my husband's arms.

Chapter 10: A Home of Our Own

One month flew by in a blink of an eye. Both Bella and I hated to leave the yurt and our honeymoon but they had finished things at the main house and it was time to return home. As we packed our bags to return home, I had the hardest time keeping my hands to myself. At any given time, my hands would stray to the exposed skin on my wife's body; a few times, it was to parts that weren't exposed.

Silence filled the car as we drove home. Granted we could both be comfortable in with the quietness as long as we were together but this was different. This was a depressing quiet. Since leaving out honeymoon cabin, the atmosphere surrounding us became heavy and gloomy. We were both missing the fun, solitude, and connection we shared during our stay at the yurt. I hope that the surprise that my family was working on at home would put both of us back in a good mood.

I heard Bella hum a questioning murmur as we parked in front of the house. Her eyes stayed trained on the small gravel road that continued past the main house. She stared at me quizzically then back at the road with the tree archway over it.

"Come inside, we'll get to that later." I took her hand and placed it to my lips. "Come on, everyone is excited to see us." I smiled at her then exited the car. I flashed over to her side of the car and opened the door for her.

"BELLA!" Before my wife could even fully climb out of the jeep, my pixie of a sister exploded from the house. The moment Bella was clear of the jeep; Alice wrapped her in a tight hug. "Oh god, I've missed you so much!" 'She's back…my Bella is back…go away Edward!'

Irritation grabbed me immediately. I tapped my sister on the shoulder and waited patiently for her to turn around. When she did turn to face me, I glared serrated swords at her. "Bella is MY wife! How would you feel if I laid claim to Jasper?"

Alice's nose scrunched up and her tongue poked between her teeth. "I would start to wonder when you changed your sexual preferences." That did it!

I lunged for my devilish sister and she immediately darted away screaming. "Jasper, save me…Edward's crazy…"

"You deserve it!" Jasper replied indifferently. 'She'll never learn.'

"You shouldn't have said that!" Bella said at the same time as Jasper.

While growling and snarling, I continued to chase the annoying pixie around the house a half dozen times. Then Jasper finally took pity on his wife and quickly pulled her out of the loop and against him. I made my way back over to Bella while keeping my eyes locked on the irritating troll I called a sister. When was she going to learn that Bella was mine and mine alone? She was the one thing of mine I didn't like sharing.

"Hey bro, how was this last month?" I cringed and whimpered at the sudden bolt of hot pain that exploded on my back when my bigger younger brother slapped me. Upon seeing my pained expression, Emmett retracted his hand quickly. 'What the…what's wrong with you?'

Slowly, I turned my face toward my brother and glared evilly at him then dropped my chin to my chest with a heavy sigh. "Bella is a lot stronger now than she was before."

Emmett arched an eyebrow in a duh manner. "We already knew that. That doesn't explain why you're acting as if I touched you with hot coals." 'Dude, have you turned into a wuss while on your honeymoon?'

"Emmett, shut up," I snapped then lifted the back of my shirt to my shoulders.

"WHOA CRAP! Did you get into a fight with a werewolf?" He stared at my back as if I had a tattoo of a naked woman on but in reality, it looked far from that.

I pulled my shirt back down in to place and scoffed at Emmett's remark. "They're from my wife."

'You're wife! God dude…I don't want the details. The scratch marks on your back are proof enough of how your honeymoon went.' I smirked when he shied away from me and I led Bella in to the house.

Before I could even utter a word of hello to the others in the house, Esme was pulling Bella into a tight hug. She then turned slightly and gave me a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. 'My beautiful boy is finally happy.'

"Finally, you're home. Now we can give you the main wedding present," she practically sang with pride, her excitement evident in her voice. Bella questioned her with her eyes and Esme answered her with a wink then pulled her out the front door again. I followed closely behind my mother as she dragged my wife down the newly graveled road. I already knew the basic details of their plans but they blocked me the second we pulled onto the driveway.

We walked about a mile up the road, why Esme didn't take the car, I didn't know. We broke into a small meadow with a slight slope. Sitting at the base of the hill was the tiny stone cottage that I remembered seeing on a few occasions while hunting. That building had been falling down around itself. Its original build date was in the nineteen thirties, now it looked nothing like its former self. This building was cozy and fresh looking with a beautiful and bright glass sunroom extended off the one side.

Compared to the other people that I knew would complain about the small size and simplicity of the home, I knew that without a doubt, Bella would be ecstatic. She didn't fail to disappoint in my assumption. At first, she was wide-eyed and speechless then she became wide eyed and stumbled over her words as she pointed at the house while looking between it and Esme.

Esme grinned like a five year old at Christmas. "What do you think of your wedding present?"

Bella became speechless once again but the smile that formed spoke everything. She rounded on Esme and enfolded her in her arms. "Thank you…so very much…" Bella turned away from Esme to gaze at the house again. After a minute of her doing nothing but staring, she turned back around, swiping at her falling tears of pure joy ferociously. "You gave us a house…we have a house…oh my god, our own house…"

She ran over and looped her arm around mine then started to pull me toward the cottage. "Bella, it's only a one bedroom, it's far from a house. A cottage, a bungalow, it doesn't classify as a house, it-" I stopped short in my explanation when Bella's head snapped around and her angry red eyes, drilled into.

"Like with my truck, don't knock it. It's a mansion to me. It could be the yurt for all I cared as long as it was ours." She was calm but firm and her red irises spoke the truth about how angry she really was at my downgrading her house. She then pulled me to the front door almost violently, she was definitely mad.

Wonder if make-up sex is all it's cracked up to be?

A low growling sound snapped me from my thoughts about make-up sex and I glanced toward the rumbling. Bella was staring up at me, waiting patiently for me to come back down to earth. I shrugged my shoulders and grinned apologetically before we walked inside the inviting home.

It looked larger on the inside than it did from the outside due to several strategically placed mirrors. When we first entered the house, the living room greeted us warmly with light blues, yellows and soft maple woodwork. Bella clasped her hands over her mouth just as a quiet squeal began to echo from her palms and her head darted in every possible direction. Off to the left of the living room was the tiny but high-end kitchen and in front of us was a short hallway that I assumed led to the bedroom and bathroom. Bella walked into the kitchen and delicately traced her fingers over the stainless steel appliances and her smile grew when she touched the steel Kitchen Aid mixer. I've always thought she was most beautiful in the kitchen…besides our bed of course.

I jumped in surprise when Bella suddenly ran from the kitchen and went down the hall. She opened the door on the left and surprised me again with her loud shout. "Edward, there's a garden tub, we can take baths together!" Long, luxurious bubble baths, now there was an idea.

A loud gasp ripped me from my clean fantasies about the tub and dashed down the hall toward the sudden intake of breath. The door on the right was now open and Bella was standing inside the room, her eyes huge and her mouth agape. I followed her line of sight and saw a beautiful, king sized, iron, canopy bed with crisp white bedding and red rose petals speckled the covers and the floor.

Like her, all I saw was the bed, the comfortable, exotic, enticingly inviting bed. I reached for Bella and placed her back against my chest then started to kiss up and down her neck. Being here in our new bedroom, seeing our massive bed, there was only one thing I wanted to do.

'Edward, Carlisle would like for you two to join us at the main house. He has some more questions that Bella needs to answer. See you in a bit.' I pulled away from Bella then childishly stomped my feet. Bella turned and stared at me with curious brown eyes. "Esme just told me that Carlisle has some more questions for you so we need to make a quick trip to the main house."

Bella's expression took on an unpleasant and menacing reddish glare then she stomped her way through the house then burst through the front door. I stayed close behind her the entire way to the big house, I knew her eyes must me red again and I didn't want to impose on her angry fit with my father.

She exploded through the front door with a loud bang of the door handle connecting with the wall. "Alright Carlisle, ask your questions so we can get home."

Emmett burst out laughing and held his stomach tightly. "Want to get home to officiate the place do ya?" His mouth closed tightly and he cringed away when Bella turned her head slowly to face him and I saw her crimson irises clearly. "I'll just…go upstairs now…" He stared walking backwards while he kept his eyes locked on Bella.

"That's a very intelligent idea right now Emmett," the low emotionless tone of her voice even had me scared. Emmett flipped around and darted up the stairs to avoid angering my wife further. Bella literally growled her next word. "Carlisle?"

Carlisle slowly peered around the corner, obviously fearful of his daughter-in-law. "Bella, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for you two to show up right now."

"Stuff it doctor! Ask your questions so we can get home." Bella crossed her arms over her chest, pushing her breasts up slightly. I heard Carlisle gulp in fear before he slowly emerged from his office and made his way into the living room.

'Is it sad that I'm scared of your wife Edward?' I choked while attempting to stifle my laugh at Carlisle's question.

"Um, okay well, it's just a few questions then you're free to go." He lifted his notepad in front of him and uncapped his pen. "Do you feel pain of any kind?"

"Not that I've noticed," she stated in a thoughtful manner.

"Okay, sorry if this is embarrassing but do you still menstruate?" I could hear the embarrassment in Carlisle's voice as he posed the question.

Bella said nothing and just stared at her father-in-law and her cheeks slowly darkened as blood rushed to her face. "Um, I'm not sure. It's not time yet, I have about another week." Carlisle was about to address the discrepancy in her period when Bella started talking again. "My cycles have always been about five weeks apart."

"Final question, have you sprouted wings?" Carlisle asked with a bit more confidence this time.

She laughed quietly while shaking her head. "No, I haven't sprouted anything. No wings, no extra heads or limbs, I'm physically the same."

"Good okay, thank you. You can leave now." 'Please, don't destroy the house for at least the first month.' Gee, thanks dad. He retreated into his office and I quickly ushered Bella outside.

Once outside, I grabbed Bella in my arms and darted down our driveway at vampiric speed. She wasn't the only one annoyed about the visit to see Carlisle.

I opened the front door and ran through, heading straight for the bedroom and our colossal bed. I practically threw my wife to the edge of the mattress then pounced on top of her with a childish growl. Bella giggled happily then began tearing at my shirt as if she was on a mission, which I guess she was. I leaned back slightly and finished shedding my clothes while Bella fumbled with her own clothes removal.

Between us, it took only milliseconds to remove all our fabric barriers. As soon as we were both naked, I attacked Bella's skin with my mouth, tasting her as if she was the sweetest forbidden fruit on this entire planet. My hands roamed every inch of her body and it felt like I was touching her skin for the first time and it was pure bliss.

"Hurry…Edward…now…do it now…"

I grinned against the soft flesh of my eager wife's stomach. It thrilled me to no end that this beautiful and perfect creature wanted me in every sense of the word. There was no way I wasn't going to follow through with my begging wife's pleas. What sane guy out there wouldn't?

Wrapping my arms under her knees, I pulled her to the edge of the bed and in one quick thrust; I was comfortable surrounded by her slick, warm and welcoming folds. She moaned in ecstasy, which caused me to grow and growl slightly at the simple knowledge that what I was doing was pleasurable. Even though we had joined ourselves completely this morning, three times, here we were again reaching that same level of completion. Her hands found their way to my back and I hissed at the feeling of her nails raking across the still fresh scratches.

Bella's hips arched higher, driving me deeper and closer to my ultimate paradise. Her hands wandered up and latched in to my hair then tugged viciously, causing me to reach another level of my close climax. The second she moaned and grabbed my butt, digging her fingertips into my stone-like skin, I lost it.

I was saddened that I had climaxed and she hadn't but I was thrilled when I felt her inner muscles clench and strangle my now very sensitive organ. I continued to thrust, helping her to achieve her own paradise. I rested my forehead against hers and together we panted heavily, waiting to come down from our orgasms.

Bella started laughing uncontrollably and would have fallen off the bed if she wasn't under me. I grabbed her shoulders to keep her on the mattress and to keep her still. "Bella, are you alright?"

"Yeah," she sobered slightly but her giggles remained intense and the convolutions were a welcome torture to my dick that remained buried inside her. "It just occurred to me…one surface down…which do we…initiate next?"

She continued to giggle uncontrollably and she attempted to look at me. I rolled my eyes at her comment then started chuckling from above her. Despite not knowing about what she possibly was or what was wrong with her, she didn't seem to appear bothered at all.

"How about we try out the tub?" She was up and sprinting for the bathroom before I even finished the word 'tub'. I was beginning to think her sexual appetite could rival any vampire. I sighed happily then followed my wife into the already steaming bathroom.

With seven vampires, several ancient books, a wolf and a 'human' we should be able to figure out what was going on with her body. As of right now, her changes are as follows:

- Resurrection

- Eyes change color to red, purple, and amber

- Paler skin

- Invisible to visions

- Stronger

- Smells different

- Thicker blood

- Tougher skin

- Slower heart rate

- Still eats human food

- Better hearing than vampires

- No pain

- Sleeps

- 26 DNA strands

- No longer aging (immortal)

- Bathroom

- Agility same (not graceful)

- Venom inert

- Don't bruise

- Heal quickly

- Menstruation?

- No wings

It was becoming a rather long list and something in the back of my mind told me it wasn't finished yet.

Preview for chapter 11: Miscalculation

Three months of happiness, three months of pure love, three months of uninhibited sex, three months of…of… As I did the math quickly in my head and the figures started to add up, I involuntarily dropped the bowl of salad I was holding.

"Bella?" Edward was by my side in a flash, staring intently into my eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I'm late…," my tone was hushed and filled with panic.

He looked thoughtful for a moment before replying. "I don't remember you mentioning having any appointments."
