BPOV

"I know you do and I want the same thing. I just grow tired of…changing conditions for our happiness. Does that make any sense?" I said. He pulled me to him and I wrapped my arms around him.

"It does, but I want you to keep talking." He led me over to the bed and pulled me into his lap.

"First, we couldn't be together because you were so overcome with bloodlust and wanted to kill me as much as you wanted to love me. I'm glad you chose the latter by the way. Next, our physical relationship is always so careful and I do understand that and I respect that. When you left and I eventually saved you in Italy, we were told that I had to be changed. We couldn't advance our physical relationship without advancing our emotional relationship. No sex until we got married, which again, I respect. Now, we're married and there is talk of a baby and once again we are under the microscope. Aro is going to interfere and wanted to set the condition of us living in Italy until I give birth. Up until we got here, I have been so happy with just you. I'm equally grateful and resentful of Alice's visions. I'm not angry with you, it's everyone else that is irritating me." I hugged him as tight as I could.

"I understand what you're saying, love and I agree with you. Being secluded on the island have been the best days I can remember. I love having you all to myself. As much as I want to have a baby with you and you want one with me, we have to decide if it is worth it." I nodded and loved that he totally understood me.

"Well, let's weigh it out. Start with the cons. It will be uncomfortable for you." He said.

"Apparently you're going to be a pain in the ass; and territorial. Does that count for two?"

"No, we'll say I'm going to be an even bigger territorial pain in the ass. It only counts for one." I laughed.

"Restrictions and most likely bed rest." He said, turning the mood serious.

"No sex." I added; that was a huge one since we were so fresh into our bonding.

"Someone will always be around. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" He asked with a small smirk on his face.

"Both." We said.

"Where will the baby sleep; if that's what he or she does?" I asked.

"The guest room across from our room is free now; I assume it will become the baby's room." He answered. It was a comforting thought.

"Our family is getting too large and becoming a threat to the Volturi, even if we don't want their power." I said, getting back on topic.

"I will be a newborn vampire and heavily dependent on everyone. I may not even be able to hold my own child." I said sadly.

"We don't know what this baby will be like, we fear the unknown." He said, and he was right. That sentence was my biggest reason to second guess what I really want.

"Let's talk pros." I suggested.

"We will have a living representation of our love." He snuggled me closer to him.

"We will have a baby of our own that you fathered."

"I get to be a daddy." I smiled because he had such love and so much pride in his voice when he said that.

"I get to be a mommy."

"Someone will always be around to help us out." He said.

"I want this." I said.

"I want this too. We want this and we are in it together." I hugged him and managed to lay us on the bed facing each other.

"Though there are more reasons to go against it, the reasons to go for it carry a lot of weight. We will be careful about this and do everything we can to minimize your discomfort. Carlisle will be around as much as he can, just like me and everyone else."

"I'm still scared." I admitted.

"I am too. We can be brave together."

"Make love to me." I demanded. Edward rolled on top of me and kissed me while purring, further igniting my passion. He made sure I was thoroughly satisfied before he left me to go hunt. Alice had food sent up for me and just as I finished, Edward came back in. He dragged me into the shower with him, barely acknowledging the time limit warning Alice gave him. We had to leave in an hour.

Edward opened the door to our room just as Alice was going to knock on it. The four of us left for the airport together and booked our flights. Mine and Edward's was leaving first and I was anxious to get back to the island and finish my honeymoon. I think Edward felt the same way since he spent the first leg of the flight playing with my wedding ring. I so wanted to jump him, but it was not the time or the place. I fell asleep on the flight from Rio to Santiago, but Edward let me sit in his lap and drive the boat back to the island. It was obvious how we spent the rest of the day…and the next two after that.

Two weeks later, I knew what was happening and so did Edward. He looked at me while I was eating lunch.

"It's almost time." He said.

"I know." I nodded.

"It's weird, I've always noticed it, but have never paid this much attention to it before. I just made sure to work a little harder to control myself." I didn't know how to respond to that, so I said nothing.

"Do you feel any different?" He asked.

"No, not really. I can just tell when it's happening. I've always been able to. I'm still scared and a little nervous." I admitted. We hadn't brought it up since we got back from Italy.

"Me too, but I'm excited as well."

"There is a part of me that wishes we didn't know about this ahead of time. I feel pressured to make sure we succeed."

"I know, but it probably is better that they told us and we were able to make this decision together instead of being surprised by it. I know Alice is right, I definitely wouldn't have handled it." I nodded, he was right, but I still felt like our lives were being dictated y outside forces. I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure how Edward would receive the news and I knew they were just making sure we were safe and happy. I find no fault in that.

"How is your lunch?" He asked.

"It's delicious. I think you should go hunt."

"I can do that. Do you want to go back to the mainland with me?"

"No, I'm going to lie in the sun and soak it up while we're still here. We go back to reality in a few days." He nodded and kissed me before he left. I put on a bikini and grabbed a towel to walk to the beach. I rested my eyes and my body relaxed. I was lucky to have sat near some trees because I fell asleep and minimized the burn on my body. Edward woke me with kisses and carried me inside.

"You are turning pink my love."

"It could have been worse." I said as he laid me on the bed.

"Yes, it could have. You need to be more careful. You smell wonderful."

"Thank you." I pulled on his neck and he climbed on top of me. I felt him work his lips down my jaw and settle in my neck as I gripped his hair. He lifted his head with a smile.

"What did you do?"

"I gave you a hickey." He said proudly. I smiled and lifted my head to kiss him. His hands went to work, divesting me of what little scraps of cloth I had been wearing. As though he was actually reading my mind, his clothes disappeared and he joined his body with mine. I noticed that we always sighed in contentment when he did this. Our sighs morph to moaning and then screaming as we reached our climax. I rolled over to snuggle on his chest, dozing off into a light sleep.

It was dark when I woke from my nap. I looked up at Edward, who smiled and placed a kiss on my mouth.

"Did you sleep well, my love?"

"I did thank you. I think you're cold body also helped my sun burn."

"I'm sure it did. Why don't you go have some human time and I will make you something to eat." I nodded and we got out of bed. I'm sure he was wondering, just as I was, if we were successful on the first try or not. Alice said that Edward would know, so I wouldn't push the issue. Edward had made me a hamburger with some chips and raw vegetables on the side. Though everything he made for me was delicious, I wasn't hungry for food. I deliberately thought back to earlier in the day and as I stood to clear my plate, I heard Edward inhale deeply. He took the plate from me.

"Go get ready for me. I'm giving you five minutes." I took off, running carefully so I didn't trip and ruin the mood. I suddenly stopped and went back to the kitchen.

"I want you to give me one hour. I'll call if I'm ready before then." I licked his chin and watched his eyes darken in lust. He nodded.

"One hour." Once again, I ran from him. I went to our bedroom and changed into something that could barely be called clothing since it really just looked like scraps of fabric tied together. I did a quick fix of the hair and make up and used the door that led directly to the beach from our room. I walked a good distance away and perched myself on a log.

"I'm ready." I said calmly and then waited. I knew he would cheat and use his nose to track my scent, but I didn't care; I wanted him to find me. Thirty seconds later, two arms wrapped around my waist.

"How did I not see this?" He palmed the barely there lace. I leaned back against him to enhance his view. He wasn't wearing a shirt; awesome.

"It's so small, I'm not surprised that you didn't see it. It was mingled in with the underwear that Alice packed for me.

"I like it, though I'm afraid you may never be able to wear it again." I smiled.

"I hadn't planned on it. Like most of my underwear on this trip, it seems to be a one time use."

"I think, no I know that you love it when I rip your underwear off."

"I'm looking forward to being able to return the favor." I finally turned around to see him and was somewhat shocked that he wore clothes. I was so turned on that I lunged for his lips. He met my passion with his own and lifted me off the log that I was resting on.

"Would now be a good time to tell you that I took a picture of you on my cell phone?"

"Yes. Delete it, please?"

"No way. You're too damn sexy for your own good."

"You have a perfect memory, so you don't need the cell phone. What if someone in the family sees it?"

"I promise to delete it before we get home, is that fair enough?"

"I suppose, it's not like I can wait until you fall asleep and delete it myself." He laughed as he lowered us onto the sand. I held on tight and he lowered his body onto mine. I felt his lips giving me another hickey so I moved my lips to his bite mark. He growled lowly at me. I didn't stop and suddenly found my arms pinned above my head with Edward's face inches from my own. I smirked.

"You little minx. You know what happens when you kiss me there."

"Only a fraction of what you will do if I bite you there." He growled again and I wrapped my legs around his hips. While holding both of my wrists in one hand, he used the other to rip the lace from my body. I moaned and licked my lips. Edward released me and loved down my body at the same time. He peppered kisses over every centimeter of my skin, driving me insane with need for him.

"Edward, stop teasing me!" I demanded. He smirked and worked his way up to my waiting mouth again. He let me flip us over and I didn't wait, I lowered myself onto his body immediately, both of us moaning long and low at the feeling. I started to move and he palmed my breasts for a bit before moving his hands to my hips to help me move with more consistency. It felt like we were running a marathon at the pace we had been going at. This was not making love; this was raw need. Edward flipped us once again and never once did we falter in our rhythm. I was clutching and clawing at him. He locked his eyes with me and we both tumbled over the cliff at the same time, screaming the other's name out. The sun was peeking out when Edward rolled to lay next to me. I loved looking at my vampire in the sun; I was given the bonus of his nudity today and I smiled.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." He leaned forward to kiss me.

"Did you like having to come find me?" I asked and saw him smirk.

"I could hear you so I knew what you were doing. I don't usually walk around naked."

"That's a shame. I knew you would cheat and use your nose to find me." I rolled on top of him with a smile and leaned down to kiss him. He chuckled into our kiss and then slipped his tongue into my mouth, sparking another round of love making. I didn't want to go home, but I knew we were most likely leaving within the week.

"I wish we never had to leave." I sighed as I lay next to him in the dark. We were staring up at the stars.

"I know, but eventually we have to go back. Baby or not, Aro wants you changed."

"I know. Do you think it's happened yet?" I looked at him.

"It's possible." He moved and rested his head on my abdomen while I stroked his hair.

"Do you feel any different?"

"No. I am tired from this evening's entertainment though." He smirked at me and I smiled back. He had me in his arms in the next second.

"Well then my lady, you should rest." I loved it when he ran with me in his arms as opposed to his back. I couldn't wait to be able to run next to him. He crawled in bed with me and held me as I drifted off to sleep.

A/N: I'm so sorry for the extended delay between chapters. It's still crazy around here and I've had lots to do. I'll do what I can to wrote some more over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm eager to wrap this story up so I can start a new one. I thank you all for your patience. Reviews are wanted and appreciated. Have a great day and Happy Thanksgiving! Kelly
