Bella's POV
After watching Emmett run away from my boyfriend, who I will admit was currently limping from his little...golf ball incident, Jasper, Rose, Alice and I all decided that it was probably best to go and find them before either one of them ended up in even more trouble. After searching round a little, finding no trace of the boys, we decided to head back to the cabin...not that we were too thrilled about that. The place was practically a death trap. Emmett and Edward would show up sooner or later. The walk back was filled with laughter and jokes, each one of us making a snarky comment about the two 'children' that had went running off.
By the time we reached the caibn again, the sky was beginning to turn a beautiful orange colour. Stopping as everyone else made there way into the shack, I couldn't help but look up and smile. I guess not everything here was bad. Back home you could never stop and watch a sunset. You know, without the cabin, house full of crazy friends, and a gay bipolar cousin, this place could actually be amazing for a proper vacation. What with the mountains in the distance. The lake surrounded by tall trees. It was beautiful. I sighed in content, smiling a little while getting lost in my thoughts...but unfortunately that was short lived when I heard loud laughter coming from the cabin. What the hell had happened now?
Rolling my eyes I made my way inside, careful not to stand on any creaky boards or the hole that Edward had put through the porch. Everyone was laughing, much to my confusion. Even Charlie and Carlisle were trying to stifle back a chuckle. What had I missed? I looked between everyone before fixing my attention onto Edward and Emmett who were sitting on the sofa. I watched as Carlisle handed Emmett a small ice-pack, which was quickly applied to his head, but it wasn't Emmett that everyone was laughing at though...yep, that's right. It was Edward. Surprise surprise. There he sat on the couch, one ice-pack resting on his junk and another on a bump on his forehead. Hmm...funny, I can't remember him hitting his head.
"What happened?" I asked, walking over to him.
"When he was chasing Emmett..." Jasper bellowed out in between fits of laughter "He tripped on a tree stump and hit himself with the golf club!"
"It was frickin' hilarious!" Emmett joined in.
"Then why is Emmett sitting with an ice-pack?" I asked confused.
At this Emmett's laughter died down, and instead something I had never witnessed before happened. He blushed! That's right ladies and gentlemen. The Emmett McCarty blushed.
"I...uh..." He began, sounding rather embarrassed "When Edward fell, I turned round and laughed...but forgot to stop running. Next thing I knew a big tree popped out from nowhere!"
"Now that..." Edward spoke for the first time "Was frickin' hilarious. You literately bounced off the thing."
Ok, now it was my turn to chuckle. If only I was there...with a camera. That would have been priceless. New entry for America's Funniest Home Video's. Smiling a little I made my way up to the boys, squeezing in in between them.
"Poor babies." I said rubbing there backs "Did the big bad inanimate objects beat you up? WHAT is the world coming too these days!?"
At this everyone chuckled, Edward and Emmett looking even more embarrassed. Watching big macho guys like them blush, you just can't help but laugh. I think I'll hold this against them if they ever make another comment about me. Sounds fair. Right?

Edward's POV
Well dinner had been...interesting to say the least. Bella had disappeared before anything had been served, which I guess was kinda lucky since we all ended up eating fish that been a little...how shall I put this...well done. Since the cabin didn't come with a working oven (which is kinda fucked up in a way) we ended up having to cook them over a fire in the yard...correction, I ended up having to cook them while the others just sat and talked. Word of warning, never put me near an open flame, cause nothing but bad luck comes from it. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that by the term 'well done' really means they caught fire. Let's just say that my Gran wasn't to pleased...in fact no one was. Lucky Bella wasn't there. I wonder where she is any way.
After spending about ten minutes trying to sneak away from the group, I went in search of my girlfriend. I walked round the cabin a few times, convinced that I had missed her, but still there was no sign. Sighing, I headed off into the forest. Now...I'm not saying that I was afraid...but being in there in the dark by yourself is kinda scary...Don't tell anyone I said that. I must have been walking around for about 20 minutes, heading closer to the lake. I could already make out the moonlight shining off of it through the trees...only when I wasn't snapping round to see if there was anyone behind me. What? Animals make strange noises.
Pretty soon I came to the edge of the forrest, and I couldn't help but smile when I found Bella sitting on a log, looking out onto the lake.
"Nice isn't it?" I said with a smile, startling her as I took a seat on the log.
"Jeez Edward." She jumped, chuckling a little before turning back to look "Yeah it is."
I looked out over the lake too, amazed at the beauty of it. It was like something you would see in a movie...or Canada. Large lake, tall trees and the breathtaking mountains behind them. Ugh, now I'm starting to sound all mushy.
"Where were you at dinner?" I asked, snapping her out of her daze.
"Here." She replied "Didn't really want to sit with James and Granny dearest. Sorry about that."
"It's alright." I replied "All you missed was me setting the fish on fire."
"Ooh." She winced "Did your Gran have a cow?"
I couldn't help but scoff.
"Gran had a cow, duck, horse and the rest of the whole damn farm." I replied, in which I received a chuckle from "Seriously, how are we expected to spend another two days with them. I know I've hardly seen James today, but isn't this whole vacation a little bit...drastic?"
"Edward, this vacation is punishment." Bella smirked "Not every teenage boy can turn round and say they got arrested while trying to do a prank war."
"You're never going to let me live that down are you?" I asked, a hint of a smirk playing at my lips.
"Nope." She beamed, standing up "Now c'mon, I want to do something fun."
I was expecting her to take my hand and drag me some place, but nope. Bella always seems to amaze me these days, because before I could blink, the brown haired beauty had ripped off her tank top and threw it at me, leaving her standing in nothing but her baby blue bra and jeans.
"Uh Bells..." I said, a little nervous "W-what you doing babe?"
"C'mon." She smirked, her jeans following her top "You can't say you've never wanted to go skinny dipping, can you?"
Oh sweet lord have mercy. This girl is going to be the death of me.

Bella's POV
Well that was easier than I had expected. By the time that Edward had gotten up and pulled his shirt over his head, I had stripped down completely and was already in the water, which was surprisingly warm. Once surfacing and brushing my hair from my face, I turned to see Edward, who was standing looking slightly worried, still wearing his jeans.
"Oh don't be a baby." I chuckled "I've seen you naked before."
"Yeah, but we weren't out in public." He said, looking around.
"Edward." I rolled my eyes "It's a lake in the middle of nowhere, not the fountain at the mall. Just get in already."
Sighing, Edward finished what he had started and was soon in the lake. See nothing bad had happened. Smiling when he surfaced, I swam up to him, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss.
"Now, was that so bad?" I asked with a smirk, playing with the wet hair on the back of his neck.
"I guess not." He replied "It's just that lately when you get me to strip, I'm usually put in an awkward position."
"Funny." I began "I don't recall any awkward positions this morning right after my Dad left."
"I'm talking about the lovely bath." He replied, causing me to blush.
Oh my goodness. How could I forget that. I practically pushed him out the window in nothing but his boxers.
"Ok, that I'll apologize for." I said, kissing him again "But really...who's going to catch us all the way out here. We're all alone. No one around."
I could see the smile growing on his face. Now, mine and Edward's relationship isn't just physical, actually it's far from it, and I know that this doesn't seem like something I would normally do, but some times we just need to let our hair down and have fun. Wouldn't you agree.
"So..." I began "Did your ice-packs help earlier."
I couldn't help but laugh a little as he gave me a playful glare.
"Yes actually they did." He responded "However the ice did make my balls become the size of BB's."
I laughed a little, rolling my eyes before kissing him again. I was just about to come up with a smart comment to that, but stopped when I heard something.
"Did you hear that?" I asked.
"Bella!" I heard.
"Oh shit!" Edward exclaimed "It's your Dad! What'd we do!? WHAT'D WE DO!"
"Uh..." I began frantically, looking round my self "Take a deep breath!"
"What!?" Edward looked at me as if I was crazy "Have you completely lost it!?"
"Just do it!" I said.
Reluctantly, Edward took a deep breath and in a matter of seconds I had pushed him under the water. Boy is it a good thing that he loves me. Just as he disappeared under the water, Charlie emerged from the tree's, smiling when he saw me. Of course I made sure that the water came up to my chin however.
"Hey Bells." He said, coming closer to the lake.
Oh please don't notice the clothes. For once act like a normal Dad and be oblivious. Please!
"What you doing in there?" He asked with a slight smirk.
"Uh..." I began, finding it difficult to concentrate due to the fact that I currently had my boyfriend clutching to my waist to keep him from floating up "Just wanted to go for a swim is all..."
It was only a few seconds later when I felt a pinch on my hip. Oh lord. He's probably needing air by now. How the hell am I going to distract Charlie!? Think Bells, think...what would Edward do?
"Uh..." I mumbled, looking round myself before looking up "Holy Cow!" I cried, pointing to the sky "Is that a bird on fire!?"
Just as Charlie looked up, Edward quietly surfaced, gulping for air just as Charlie was about to look back down. Panicked, I pushed Edward back under. Oh my gosh, I am so going to hell for this.
"Bells...that's a plane." My Dad informed, giving me a strange look "You Ok kiddo? You seem kinda...jumpy."
"I'm f-fine!" I stuttered out as I felt Edward's finger's begin to walk across my stomach.
Oh he's so going to get them broken.
"Did you want to tell me something or..." I carried on, trying to ignore the fact that my boyfriend was underwater trying to distract me.
Does he want to get us caught!?
"Oh yeah..." Charlie began "I got a call from the station back home. They need me to come in. Big robbery, so I'm leaving now. Hope you don't mind."
"Not at all Dad." I tried to smile as I felt Edward's hand run up my side "I'll see you in a few day's."
"Ok Bells...I'll see you later..." He turned to head back up to the cabin, but before disappearing, he turned back to face me "Oh and...uh...you can tell Edward he can come up now."
My eyes went wide. My jaw dropping as my Dad gave one of his cheeky grins and disappeared. Seriously, does the guy have a sixth sense or something!? First the bedroom incident and now the skinny dipping one! Most fathers would blow there top if they caught their daughters doing stuff like this with their boyfriends...But to be fair...I am already pregnant. I guess there's not much else I can do. I mean, Edward can't knock me up twice.
I was brought out of my shocked daze when Edward surfaced, splashing a little as he gulped for air. Turning round slowly, I glared at him.
"What the hell was that!?" I bellowed "You were practically wanting us to get caught! If I remember correctly, wasn't it you who was saying...and I quote...What'd we do!? WHAT'D WE DO!?"
"Hey..." He smirked "It was funny. Plus your Dad obviously knew I was there anyway...You know, I never knew that you could get that easily distracted."
"Shut up or I'll shove you back under there." I said, but couldn't stop the smirk from forming "I mean it's not like you need oxygen anyway."
"Yeah, only for breathing." He replied sarcastically.
"Next time just keep your hands to yourself." I stated.
"Ooh..." He smirked "So there's gonna be a next time?"
"You know what..." I began "I often ask this a lot, and I'm almost certain that I'll ask this again in the...most definitely near future, but why must you continue to piss me off. Because, you for one know this Edward...I am experienced in using kitchen knives...we wouldn't want a repeat of last year now would we?"
"N-no Ma'am." He replied hastily, shaking his head violently while swimming a little away from me.
Ugh, I swear. You accidentlystab the guy once and he is forever afraid of you. Wimp. I mean, it's not like he walks with a permanent limp now is it!?

Edward's POV
Well, the rest of the vacation went by brilliantly. We had so much fun and by the end James and I were practically best friends and my Grandmother and I had become very close...Sorry, I'm trying to keep a straight face here, but it just isn't working. I guess that's what my Dad was hoping for between us, but what really happened was a lot worse. The vacation turned out to be a disaster, not that I really expected anything different. By the time day two rolled along, Emmett and Jasper were practically going crazy without their video games. Rosalie was whining about the fact that her hair kept frizzing due to the humidity. Alice was visualizing stores everywhere. My Gran and Father were trying hard not to kill each other, and Bella and I were so bored that we had nothing better to do than to annoy the living crap out of James. I guess that was one advantage. He got so sick of us repeating everything that he said, and talking in the third person about ourselves that he ended up camping out in the back yard. I made the slight mistake in 'forgetting' to tell him about the grass snakes...Oops.
I was practically dancing when my Gran and James decided to head straight home from the Cabin. This is probably the happiest that I had been in days!
The drive back to Forks was rather pleasant. Bella and I drove together, both taking turns behind the wheel, but somehow we still managed to get lost. It was to be expected though. By the time that we had arrived home, it was once again pouring it down, something that I wasn't;t to upset about while at the cabin. At least it was dry and warm. It was around nine at night when I pulled up into my driveway, Bella sleeping next to me.
"Bells..." I said brushing some hair from her face "We're home, time to get up."
"Uh... She mumbled, slowly sitting up "I'm so tired."
I couldn't help but chuckle a little at her appearance. Her hair was everywhere, giving her a Weird Al/Alice Cooper type look, but I still think it was cute.
"Well you'll be in bed in a few." I replied.
"Be a dear and carry me." She mumbled, smiling a little through her yawns.
"Be a dear and stop talking like a 90 year old." I said with a chuckle.
Getting out the car, I ran round to her side and lifted her out. Her arms wrapped themselves round my neck and her legs round my waist as she yawned once more, closing her eyes as I carried her into the house.
"Love you." She murmured before drifting off into sleep once more.
"Love you too Bells."
