Chapter 11: An Island

(Bella POV)

The reception was almost over, and I knew what came next. The honeymoon.

"ATTENTION EVERYBODY!" Renee yelled.

She got their attention and everyone turned toward her in silence.

"The Bride and Groom will now be leaving for their honeymoon and we would like to make a toast to them. May they always stay together." Esme said.

Everyone clinked their glasses together. Edward and I walked outside, and everyone followed. I threw my bouquet of flowers behind me, then I looked back to see that Lauren had caught it. I got into the white stretch limo that had been waiting for us.

"Edward, you shouldn't have spent all of this money. This is crazy."

"I would spend all the money I have for you. I love you."

"So where are we going?"

"The airport."

"I'm guessing that you won't tell me where we're going, right?"

"Yes, you guessed right. I want it to be a surprise."

"OK."

He put his arm around me as I snuggled into his chest.

"And by the way, you look so beautiful, words cannot even describe you."

I gave him a kiss on the lips, and then put my head back to his chest.

The ride to the airport was so much longer than what I was used to; probably because I was used to a Cullen driving me there. We walked into the airport, and the limo driver carried our luggage.

"Did Alice pack for me?" I asked.

"Yes, and she even put some new things in there. You can't wear sweats all the time."

"OK. You want to know something?"

"Sure."

"I love you so much that our honeymoon could have been in a dumpster and I would still be happy. As long as you were with me."

"I agree. Even if we didn't have a honeymoon I would have been glad. But, I didn't want you to miss out on that human experience, so we are going somewhere special."

"Please tell me where!"

"Nope. It's a surprise."

"I hope that little Hayley in there remembers this experience."

He laughed, and he sounded like an angel. I couldn't believe that I was going on probably the perfect honeymoon with the absolute perfect husband that I love. I was so lucky!

Edward and I walked onto the plane and sat down. We got first class seats. Every moment with him was heaven. I knew that if I went to Hell, I would want him to be right by my side. The flight attendant came around with drinks.

"Would either of you care to have a drink?" She asked.

"What do you have?" Edward asked.

"We have Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, root beer, water and apple juice."

"I'll have root beer, please." Edward said.

"And I'll have Pepsi."

She gave us our drinks, and I sucked mine down. I was very thirsty. I looked out the window and saw nothing but clouds. They reminded me of deformed marshmallows. I sullenly remembered the time when I was on my way to Forks on a plane. I remembered dreading the conversation with Charlie on the way to his house, and I also remembered crying, because I missed the Renee and the warmth of Phoenix. The clouds cleared up and I looked down. I expected to see little green and brown squares, but instead of that, I saw water. I wondered where exactly we were going. I guessed that we were going to somewhere near Japan, but that wouldn't make a great honeymoon, so I was clueless.

"I think we are almost there." Edward said, making me jump.

"Where on earth are we going?"

"Just be patient, love."

The pilot came on the intercom system and announced that we were about thirty minutes away from our destination. Wow, it wasn't that long of a ride. I guessed around eight hours. I could feel my ears starting to pop. I forgot how much that hurt. I put my hands over my ears, hoping to stop the pain.

"Would you like any gum, Bella? It's supposed to help with the popping." He asked.

"Sure."

I took the piece of gum and shoved it in my mouth. I chewed it, hoping it might actually work. It helped ease the pain a little, but my ears still hurt. Edward looked bothered that I was in pain, and he also looked like he would do anything to help.

The plane finally landed, and my ears still hadn't adjusted. We got off the plane and they said that we were at Port Antonio. I had absolutely no idea where that was. Too bad I didn't pay attention in history class.

We found our luggage and left the building.

"Edward, will you please tell me where we are?"

"We are in Jamaica."

"Really?"

I had never been to Jamaica before. Well, I had never been anywhere out of the U.S. before.

We walked outside, and another white stretch limo waited for us.

"Edward, this is great! Thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me, our parents paid for all of this."

"Oh."

We slid into the shiny limo as the driver put our luggage in the back.

"So, where are we headed?" I asked.

"We are headed to a cottage that I rented near Morant Bay."

"Wow. Expensive."

"I heard that it was the most beautiful and romantic place on the island, so that's why I chose it."

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

He kissed me, and I felt dizzy again. I threw myself onto him, knowing that there was a lot of privacy in this limo. His cold, hard lips lingered on mine, and I put in a little too much enthusiasm, but he threw in more, apparently he didn't seem to mind. The kiss had made me feel dizzier than ever, so I passed out in his lap.

(Edward POV)

Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have done that. I should have stayed within my boundaries. She looked like an angel in my lap, but she was my angel. I decided to let her stay in her condition until we got to the cottage.

It was actually too bad that I didn't wake her up, because this island was beautiful. There were many palm trees and banana trees and many tropical flowers. I decided that once we got settled in, I would drive her around so we could look at all of it together. We had two weeks to spend here, so there was plenty of time for that.

We finally arrived to the cottage. It was so much bigger than I expected. It was perfect. I woke her up and at first, she was kind of knocked out of it. She then realized where we were and she gasped with astonishment.

"Wow, Edward, it's right on the beach, huh?"

"Yes. We can watch the sunset together and take walks on the beach. The beach is private, you know."

"It's great!"

We walked into the cottage and we loved it. It was nice and cool, so it felt good when you walked in. The kitchen was plenty big, so I could cook her breakfast every morning. Now the bedroom, however, had a nice king sized bed, two large oak dressers, a big beautiful bathroom and it had an ocean view. (Well, a view of the Caribbean Sea.)

We put down our bags and unpacked.

"So, angel, would you like to have dinner first or take a nice walk on the beach?"

"Hmmm….. How about dinner, I'm starved."

"Well, let's get you dressed then."

She searched through her closet and saw many things that she didn't recognize. She noticed that most of the dresses were blue.

"Which should I wear; the blue one or the blue one?" she asked sarcastically.

"You know how I prefer the color blue on you, but you will look beautiful anyway."

"Hmmm….I think I'm going to go with the short, spaghetti- strapped blue one."

"That's fine with me."

"Wow. Alice has excellent taste."

"Hmm."

I covered myself with a button- up orange shirt and some nice pants. Then we left for dinner.

I took her to a four star restaurant (because no five stars were around) and I was quite pleased. It was very classy, with table cloths and candles. Bella seemed to enjoy her mushroom ravioli, which she got almost every time we went out to eat. I thoroughly enjoyed my Coke and if I were to give the food a rating based on the looks it would be an eight. Then, I found an ice cream place, so I took her there. She seemed very content.

The last event on our agenda for today was a quiet walk on the beach. It was dark by now, but we could still see with the moonlight shining ever so brightly. The sand was soft like velvet and cold. It was so chilly that it was hard to imagine the sand being warm during the day. The temperature was somewhat chilly.

"Edward, I'm cold."

"Hmmm… well if I hold you close to me then you will get even colder, so take my shirt."

"OK. Are you sure?"

"Of course, love, it's not like I will get cold."

I took off my shirt and handed over to her.

"Thank you."

"Do you think Hayley will get cold?"

"I'm pretty positive she won't, she's a vampire after all."

"Good. I don't want our child to suffer."

"You know it's really odd that she's in my stomach. And, why are we calling it a she?"

"We are calling it a she because I don't like calling her an it. Makes her sound like a creature, and we already picked out a name."

"That's true. I wonder when she will be born. I doubt that this will be like a normally pregnancy."

"Hmmm."

We walked back to the cottage, having a very long conversation about Hayley. I turned on the light and we walked to the bedroom. Bella needed to have her everyday human minute, so I just lay down on the bed while she did what she needed to do.

She came back out, in a towel; she must have taken a shower.

"Hello, beautiful, did you have a nice human minute?" I asked, putting my arms around her wet towel- covered body.

"Yes I always do, but its no good without you."

I gave her a kiss, crossing the line. Maybe I shouldn't even have a line. No, that would be a bad idea. Then, she could get hurt, that would not be good. I pulled away, but only because I had to be the one with self control. She must have been dizzy again because the towel then fell to the floor. A normal man would not have been able to handle it, but I had to. We were already expecting so I had to. I just couldn't handle it! I lost control and I lifted her onto the bed. I took off my clothes and we were awake all night together.
