A/N: This is what you've been waiting for. This is the ultimate scene that will decide the rest of this fanfic. It was really hard to write and I was trying to stay in character. Because this was so hard for me to write, I would really love your reviews to see how I went. If you could mention what you thought of point of impact I would really love it. Thanks.

Edward's P.O.V

Point of impact

Bella was in the shower and I'd run out here for a moment's escape. The pressure was too much in that house, especially hearing Bella in the shower. It was taking more and more self control everyday not to say yes. Actually it was now talking self control not to just walk into the shower with her. Maybe my lack of hunting was affecting this but it wasn't my first priority right now. I needed to talk to her. I didn't know how to talk to her. I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. I couldn't give in to her. I needed to fix this. I didn't know what to do.

My thoughts were confusing me so I watched as the stream dropped into a mini water fall, gently flowing down and mixing in with the rocks at the bottom without even a splash. Then, a fish was swept along with the current. It tried to swim in the opposite direction but the current was stronger than it looked. It got dragged along to the edge before the drop and fighting the whole way down, fell with a splash on water into the depths of the river. I'm sure it kept going and is alive somewhere but I never saw it again.

What if this was what I was doing? Fighting a current that was stronger than myself. If I kept fighting would I still end up falling? Would I make a splash of damage at the bottom and not come out of it? Somehow still surviving but not alive as I was before? Had I already started falling? Yes, I think I had. So now was when I was to stop fighting; now I should let myself fall to minimize the damage. Of course there'd still be damage, my weight would cause a splash; my earlier struggle causing damage.

What was I fighting? I suppose it would have to end up being the thing I cannot stop fighting - Bella and this honeymoon. Someone needed to break my fall or there would be a lot of damage in my splash. So again I was back to talking with Bella. I had no choice, I could not flee my love and yet I could not love her.

I ran back to the house to make breakfast for her and as she sat at the table I served her food and sat opposite her,

"Bella, I think we are avoiding something and it's only going to get worse." I didn't like the way that sounded, it didn't feel right. But I couldn't say 'oops that sounds bad let me rephrase' it was said now and there was no undoing it.

"I think I know what you're talking about." She said staring down at her plate. I just have to talk to her, how hard can that be?

"Bella, we can't keep pretending that we are okay when we keep causing each other pain. We're negative magnets and it's not going to change. I know what you want and you know my reasoning for saying no, we could argue about that but let's not. This is hard for me to accept but at some point I know I'm going to have to give in."

She looked up from her food and watched my face carefully, I didn't know what else to say so I tried to explain with my earlier metaphor,

"It's like a waterfall. I'm fighting not to go over the edge when I'm in the stream and the currents too strong but I keep fighting. I end up going over the edge and while I'm falling I still resist and struggle. When I hit the pond there's a huge splash from my struggle and that causes damage. I go under and I know I'm still alive but somehow I'm surviving differently. I'm not the same and I'm not in the same river anymore. I'm already falling here Bella, but I can't stop resisting this honeymoon. If someone doesn't break my fall, there's going to be a lot of damage. The aftermath will change everything; I won't be me anymore because we won't have the same relationship."

She took a moment to digest that and then she spoke carefully, "And the point is? You can see yourself falling, you know there will be a splash, and even if you stop struggling it's too late to prevent it. So you keep fighting, what is there left to be done?"

"You can break my fall, Bella. The damage will be minimized and I won't be alone in the new pond." I continued using the metaphor because it was the only thing I could use to explain.

"I could break your fall, if this were truly a waterfall. But I don't know what that translates as from metaphor to reality. Even if I was to break your fall, wouldn't we then both still be falling? We would both be in the pond with the splash, which would mean we were both not in love. Edward, I don't like this metaphor, I could never not be in love with you. This isn't so bad, it can't pull us apart."

"Then the only alternative is for you to be strong enough to catch me and pull me to safety,"

"What does that translate as?" Bella asked as if I hadn't just said the most ridiculous thing ever.

"Well the current is you and well, the honeymoon. So I suppose you're pulling me away from that, back to safety which would be us, happy and in love."

She bit her lip, "You want me to take the pressure of the honeymoon away and turn this into a holiday? To make it so that we're just in love again without the strings attached?"

I smiled impishly, "When you say it like that it sounds bad. But yes, I think so."

She stared at the table in concentration then looked up, "How?"

I sighed and glanced out the window, this was the crack in my master plan,

"I don't know. I thought we could work that out together..."

"Okay, so I stop trying to trick you and you stop avoiding us being together and eventually we work back up to being the way we were before the honey moon?" She asked half hopefully and half disappointed.

"Bella you still want me to try again."

She nodded.

I sighed, "I have to don't I? You won't wait until we return home."

"Yes, I'm sorry but that's true. Maybe we could work up to it? To practice or whatever you want?"

I looked at her intensely, "Okay Bella. But you have to promise you'll give me time and ask before you start assuming I'm ready."

"Yes, I promise." She leaned across the table and kissed me, so this was the point of impact, the ending of the fall. It was different from what I imagined; more possible, hopeful.

I loved Bella more than my own life, so I had to do this for her.

A/N: Short but action packed! Lol. It was completely different from what I planned to do but this will work out well and will be easier to ease back into the real BD honeymoon with Stephanie Meyer. If any of you have read Vampire Academy please check out my fanfic "Life is haunted" and if you've read Hunger games please check out "Reporting for the capitol" The hunger games fanfic is a lot more fun and less... angst. Life is haunted seems sad and tragic but wait and see what I did to the third chapter of 'Aftermath' because I thought it was really funny. Anyway, my other crazy stories aside as I mentioned earlier I am a little self conscious of this chapter so please review and make me feel better! I hated writing this; Edward is perfect he couldn't be falling. Anyway, they are Romeo and Juliet so I hope you enjoyed it.
