I felt my back began to numb as the sun shining on my back, making me shiver. Edward pulled the blanket over me, tracing patterns in my back.

Last night was amazing. My frightened self seemed pointless. Everything was perfect. His breathing though brought me down from Cloud 9 as I heard it was as frigid as last night. Why was he nervous? I looked up at him to see him frowning and deep in thought as he traced patterns on my arms. "Are you in pain?"

Pain? "No, why?"

He didn't reply as he lifted my arm up carefully, showing my purple arms. I looked at my arm with shock as I saw the bruises travel down my body and across my ribs. He placed his hand lightly on me, matching the bruise patterns. I took my arm away from him and stretched; I really did feel fine. "Edward, do not worry about these. Heather said that I would get bruises but I am not in pain." I pulled his face back to me as he looked away. "I am alright Edward; you forget that I am not human anymore."

I waited as he looked at my body with troubled eyes before sighing and lying back down. The room was now filled with tension. My mind was blank. I did not know how to reply. What could I say? "Edward?"

He didn't look back right away. "I'm sorry if I worried you. But I am fine, really. If, if you could only hear my thoughts, then you would know that last night was unbelievable."

"Wow, you usually love that I can't read your mind."

"Not today. I just want you to know how last night was great. I do not know how it was for you, but for me, it was like that." My voice lowered as I looked away.

It was silent until he grabbed my chin and pulled me back, looking into my eyes. "You think I didn't enjoy myself?"

"You're a vampire. I am new to all this so I do not know anything."

"It seems I have more to apologize for." He grabbed my hands, "last night was, well, the best night of my existence. After seeing the bruises I panicked."

I smiled. "Really, the best ever?"

"I spoke to Carlisle, asking him what to expect. He says that there has never been a couple like us so the results are different. He had faith in me though." He chuckled, pulling me closer. "I spoke to my brothers too. They told me it was very pleasurable, second only to drinking human blood." I made a face; this was nowhere near that level of pleasure. He seemed to agree. "They were wrong though. It was more."

"It was." He kissed my cheek and I sat up. "Just listen here Edward Cullen. I love you, and that's all that matters. I am happy and these are nothing. So you just deal with it." He chuckled again when I noticed pieces of white around us. "What is this?" I picked a piece up. It was soft.

"I got a bit, angry, at myself." He replied shamefully. "I bit a pillow..or two."

"You bit a pillow?" I asked, shocked. Looking around I felt the feathers on me and in my hair. I stood up and walked to the bathroom to stare at myself in the full body mirror.

I could not believe I could not feel any of this. Patches of blue and purple were all over my body. If I was still human I would most likely feel very sore. Looking at my hair I groaned.

"What's wrong? Edward asked, peering around. "I'll never get this out of my hair." I replied. He chuckled and began helping me until I had to take a shower to get the rest off. When I got out he kissed me and we walked downstairs hand in hand.

Even if it started off rocky, I could tell my honeymoon might get better from here.
