A/N: Yup, so there you all go you smut fiends! XD It wasn't detailed as I don't want to press my luck with FFN but that's unimportant. The Cullens return! What will they think about the new bond?
Disclaimer: Nope.

Step one you say we need to talk, He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you, You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right,As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame, And you begin to wonder why you came

Chapter Twenty One-------How To Save A Life Part 1
It was two days before Edward and I made our way over to the Cullen house. As usual, as soon as we pulled up into the driveway, Alice threw the front door opened and squealed happily as if there were a new sale on Jimmy Choo's at the mall. Once my mate helped me out of the car I was immediately smothered with an arm full of tiny, excited vampire.
"I'm so happy for you both! Harrison, your really really part of our family now!" She cooed, bouncing up and down like a three year old on a sugar high.
I grinned at her and ran a hand through my hair, feeling alittle embarrassed that everyone in the house would know that Edward and I had FINALLY had two days worth of marathon sex. After all, that was the only way for us to truly become mates. Not to mention, I probably reeked of him. I felt my magic immediately seeking him out and couldn't stop the urge to reach out and touch him. It was as if I couldn't help myself. I needed to feel him at my side at all times. Alice lead us inside, chatting the whole way. When we got inside, everyone spun around to stare at us. Emmett had a huge grin on his face and Esme looked as if she would cry from happiness. Carlisle and Rosalie were both smiling and Jasper gave us a big grin when we walked through the door. It was the room's last inhabitant that surprised me though. Voldemort was sitting on the white couch as if he belonged there, sipping tea without a care. Surprisingly, it wasn't Emmett that made the first perverted comment, it was Tom.
"You look thoroughly shagged, pet. Did you enjoy yourself?" He asked with a sly smirk.
I blushed and gave him a half hearted glare.
"Immensely."
Emmett snorted in amusement while Esme was the only one looking embarrassed. Edward seemed strangely calm next to me, which was odd when he was in Voldemort's presence. Tom was oddly calm as well, but we had never promised each other monogamy, even though I knew that he wouldn't bed anyone but me. I think it was more that, because he often got glimpses into my mind, he understood that Edward was my mate and he knew that he was important to me. Tom wouldn't ruin my relationship with Edward. After all, he didn't need to. We both knew that he had me whether I wanted it or not. Edward eased me down onto the couch, grinning when I curled around him once he sat down. There was talking all around me but I didn't really register it. I felt strange. Fatigued slightly but more as if there was something new there. Something different about me. I suppose there was. I was mated now, fully and completely. Edward's hand ran along my arm, occasionally coming up to brush a strand of my hair away or to touch my neck. He seemed to be unable to stop touching me as well. I sighed and shook my head, my chuckle bringing the attentions of the rooms inhabitants.
"I just…I can't seem to stop touching him. I can't help myself." I explained or at least tried to.
Voldemort nodded and stood.
"I recommend that you and your new mate take some time off, my serpent. You will require his constant attention and presence 24/7 for the first week after your mating. It helps the bond develop and cements it in place. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the effects could be on the two of you." The Dark Lord said calmly, sipping his tea once more.
Well, that didn't sound like a bad idea. In fact, I gave Edward a mischievous smirk, it sounded pretty good. More alone time with my mate? Sounded pretty fucking stellar to me.
~ o ~
We ended up on a small island that Carlisle had bought for his wife at some point, in a house that remained silent with the exception of the two of us. There were maids but we had excused them for the extent of our vacation, preferring to be completely alone. I stretched out over the bed languidly, basking in both the after sex glow and the warmth of the sun shining in through the window. Edward came into the room in only a pair of baggy sweatpants, carrying a glass of orange juice and some pills. He smiled sheepishly when I raised an eyebrow at the small orange bottle in his hand.
"Carlisle sent them for you. He said they're vitamins, to help your hair from falling out and give you some of your energy back." He explained softly, crawling back into bed with me.
I wrapped myself around him, taking the two gratefully. There were actually two bottles of vitamins: a dark colored iron tablet and a multivitamin. They disappeared with the juice without question. I ended up in my mate's lap, wrapped in the down filled comforter contentedly. I didn't realize I was smiling until a cool finger traced my lips. Edward was looking down at me fondly. We would be heading back to Forks the day after tomorrow. Alice had called to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and she sounded more excited than usual. I raised an eyebrow at my partner in question but he just shrugged, just as confused as I.
I reassured Alice that we were in fact making like bunnies in the spring and she gushed happily before bidding me good day. It was…bizarre. That was Alice for you, though. Odd but loyal to a fault. Edward and I settled down to spend the day basking in each other's presence. He had promised to take me to the waterfall further back behind the house to swim. That way no one would see him sparkling on the shore and we could still enjoy ourselves. I hoped our relationship would be as eventful as our week on Isle Esme was. Something told me that our relationship couldn't POSSIBLY be boring.
