Hello!
I am so sorry this is late... I feel terrible for saying this, but I actually forgot that this was due yesterday. I was just so busy and completely out of it. But here it is and I must say, the clues on what's coming up with Bella and Edward personally are... well, they're easy to understand.
On a plus, we got over one hundred reviews! Though it only took one review to do that and we are now on 102 review - meaning we got 3 reviews last chapter - it's good.
Though I'd still love it if more could review. Anonymous are unblocked... keep that in mind. ;)
:)
See you down the bottom - please enjoy and I'm sorry it's late!
The next week was the happiest, most relaxed time of my life.
For the first half of the week, Edward and I rarely went out the front door. And when we did, it was when Edward was going hunting on the mainland. Or to walk along the beach, take a swim and, well, do what newly-weds do.
When we weren't outside, we were watching movies or playing games or lying in bed all day and making love. We loved that it was just us in this place; alone to do whatever we wanted.
It was only during the second half that we decided we should probably get out and explore the island. The first day outside, we went for a hike. The second, we snorkelled but because we were predators to the fish – me being a cat, and Edward being a vampire – the aquatic life all just swam away.
It was nice, though. We got to see the coral and the water was so clear and quite shallow that it was practically clear. It was really beautiful and once again, Edward and I found ourselves making love.
Water sex was different and definitely fun, that was all I was saying. Oh, and pleasurable? Hell yeah.
The next few days, Edward seemed to want to constantly surprise me. We'd go out and I would have no idea we were going… but we always ended up in some place that was just as magical as the next.
Apart from that, the last few days I'd been feelings strange… a little off.
I didn't know what it was, but I was more tired, my breasts hurt a little and my senses were even worse. I was a little flustered and craved really weird things… foods.
And also, my sexual appetite was off the fucking roof.
If Edward was able to have kids, then I'd be so sure that I was pregnant. Alas, Edward could not have children… which meant that I was probably coming down with something. The one problem with that theory was Edward wasn't detecting anything. And of course, I had told him but he could tell from his two medical degrees that I was perfectly healthy.
And that brought us to where we were today.
"Edward, I just don't see why you have to go," I said, my arms around his neck. He swallowed, licking his lips as his hands rested on my hips. Our foreheads were pressed against each other's, our eyes locked. It was heaven and though I knew Edward needed to go, I really didn't want him to.
He smiled and kissed my lips quickly but softly. "I don't want to go, sweetheart," he whispered, "but it's probably best that I do. All this… activity–" from his tone, I knew he was talking about us making love… well, constantly "–is making my thirst more prominent sooner. And I don't want to put you in any danger whatsoever."
I huffed and pouted as I looked into his eyes. "Can't you hunt here? On the island?"
He smiled softly, "Believe me, if I could then I would. But Carlisle only thought of releasing deer on this island around ten years ago. He wants us to wait another few years before we hunt here – there needs to be enough that we don't kill them off in a single feeding. And remember our talk about how fish tastes and smells, love?"
I laughed. Of course I remembered. The day I'd told Edward and his family what I was – what my whole family on my mother's side was – I'd asked Edward about what fish smelled like to him. It'd shocked him and after making a comment that only upset him, he explained that it wasn't appetising at all. He'd also explained that it was because only animals that were more like humans were truly appetising in any way.
But remembering all that and what he'd just said distracted me. "Wait, so how many animals do you drink from in one feeding?"
He raised an eyebrow, probably wondering why I was asking that. It was a random question and we didn't usually talk about his or his… our family's hunting patterns anyway. He opened his mouth and closed it, before finally answering. "Uh, well, it depends how thirsty we are. If we're not all that thirsty and just… topping up, I suppose, we'd drink from one mammal. If we were exceedingly thirsty, we can drink from three or four before feeling bloated."
I nodded to myself, before sighing. He should probably be going if he was to make it back here by nightfall – it was already four in the afternoon. "Ok, well don't take too long, baby."
He purred and rubbed his nose against mine. The look in his eyes was enough to make me forget that I was supposed to be a little put out with him and on instinct, I, too, purred. Our eyes connected again after we'd both closed our own in pleasure and in that instant, our lips touched.
It was passionate and frenzied. It was the type of kiss that promised more, but Edward needed to hunt and hunt now. We both sighed, wishing we had more time so the kiss could progress to more as we parted. With another chaste kiss and brief, squeezing hug, we exchanged 'I love you's'.
The next second, Edward was out the door and I was alone. Suddenly really tired, I decided to sleep on the couch while I waited.
As soon as my head hit the pillow and I was wrapped up in a blanket, I drifted off to sleep…
Only for a dream to begin.
Oh-oh. Though I know you already know what's happening... and tell me if you do… a dream can only mean one thing.
But she hasn't got her period.
