Thanks to my wonderful beta cullennbella, she is the best and gets me through all the tough times. This chapter was a little difficult to write; I had to pull out my guide in order for it to be as close as possible to the facts. There will be some facts from the story that change along the way.

In this chapter, we will pick up from Edward's POV on the wedding, the bachelor party with the boys, and the honeymoon.

Please, please review…if you like let me know. I started writing these stories on fan fiction as a birthday present to myself. Each time I receive a review it's like happy birthday all over again. Thanks for reading.

Chapter 38

"Mending Sunrise"

EPOV

Time passed and graduation was finally upon us, Bella had taught me many things in the past few months, but the most important thing was that she loved me no matter what. The night after prom while lying in the meadow; when I allowed myself to finally touch her body. I thought I was going to explode and my heart restart after almost a hundred years of being a vampire. Nothing compared to the moment when she released, and the smell sent my body into over drive. I had to run from her, scared that I would hurt her, and the tree I took out while pleasuring myself made me wonder how in the hell did Carlisle and Emmett sire a child with their mates. I would have to talk to them before we went on our honeymoon, which was the time we had both decided to try to further our sexual relationship.

After graduation Bella and I went to see Renee in Jacksonville, and it just so happened that the Volturi where in the area looking into the deaths of multiple college students and other people that were missing from the Pacific Region. Carlisle and Jasper talked at length about stopping them. When Ashton made a surprise visit, informing them to leave it well enough alone, they decided to monitor the situation on the outskirts, which keep everyone safe. Alice said that he was right when she looked into the future if we would have become involved the Volturi would have come closer to where we were located. They would follow our scents into the area. They didn't even stay home; they left for Alaska and stayed with our cousins.

When we returned Alice said that the coast was clear, and that she didn't see any more problems, until after Renesmee was born. I was relieved to hear that, and glad I wouldn't have anyone to worry about coming into hurt our family. Victoria came every so often still promising to help with the rising as she put it, but none of us would budge, we kept promising that we had no reason to be against the Volturi. To the outside world, we didn't, but in truth we did want rid of them. We wanted rid of them on our own terms though. Victoria was going to be the antagonist in the situation with the Volturi and we need her armed and ready. Playing dumb with her just added to the situation, we wanted them on our terms not theirs.

Alice was planning the wedding of the century it appeared, everything had to be a certain way, and she pushed Bella almost past her breaking point several times. The hardest thing about this whole situation, was telling Charlie about wanting to marry his daughter right out of high school. He couldn't wrap his mind around it at first, but when Renee gave in quickly so did he.

Things were going great the future looked all right at the moment, and the bumpy part that was coming we would overcome. At least that is what Alice had last seen about the takeover. After the wedding, Alice was going global hunting looking for vampires young and old to help in our fight. Carlisle and Esme were doing the same getting together with old friends to confirm the old contract he had suggested years ago to them. They were going to meet in a neutral area to devise what would potentially be the governing the world of vampires. He wanted to eliminate the regular food source and with Ashton being in the area monitoring things, they worked regularly on finding a synthetic source of food for us. They even concerned opening blood banks and offering sizable profits to people who donated the blood. Everything would appear to be the same as giving blood to help people, but would aide in providing a better food source that wouldn't kill humans.

When August rolled around, I could believe it was time for the wedding already. I took Bella home after an exhausting day with Alice, and headed out with Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, Robbie, and Henry for a bachelor party. Our idea of bachelor party was getting punch drunk off the blood of animals, and the animals in the Olympic territory would be sad it was the eve of my wedding night. After gorging ourselves on blood we decide to sit on a bolder to talk and I saw this as the chance I need to ask the other how they did it. I warned Robbie and Henry first.

"How did you guys manage it?" I asked, and Robbie and Henry headed off into the forest not wanting to be a part of this conversation. I couldn't blame them; it was bad enough that you would hear things in the house anyways, but never the less who wants to hear their parent talk about sex.

"What are you referring to?" Carlisle asked while smiling.

"Sex, how did you,…do it with your mates when they were still human?"

"Ahh, Eddie wants to finally have the sex talk." Emmett stated, he still thinks I have never had sex, mainly because I never told him about the encounter in the woods with Bella all those years ago, like it was any of his business.

"I've had sex Emmett, just not with a human. Now shut up and give me answers or advice or something." I state and he looks dumbfounded at me from the statement.

"Hold on," he states, "You've had sex, who with, and man this will hurt Bella if she ever found out."

"She knows and it was with her." I rub my hand over my face getting frustrated with him. "When she came back with Ashton, right before she was born a human, that's when. You didn't know, because I never felt it was any of your business. Now, back to the original question at hand here gentleman, please."

"Have sex the first time in the water, this will be beneficial for both of you. The water will wash away her essence, and you will be warmer to her. Especially, if the water is warm, and if the water is cold, she will be cold too. You have to be more careful with the cold water. You don't want her sick on your honeymoon. If she is still a virgin Edward, she could bleed and the water would mask the scent some." Emmett states.

"You have to be careful, and be aware of your emotions, feelings, and everything. Humans are fragile, of course, you know that, but you will need to find something in case you feel the need to bite. That is something that happens when you mate. When you mate with a human you have the unrelenting want to bite them, mark them as yours, and with the smells. The rapid heartbeats, the adrenaline that you will be able to smell in their blood will call to you more so than she already does. Make sure you feed just before, and have something like a pillow or something beside her head just in case you need to bite it," Carlisle states.

"Your strength will also be a problem, hold onto the bed frame or wall, because when you climax you will crush her with the hold you want to put on her. It's almost like you want to draw them close to your body," Emmett states.

"Okay, so pillows to bite, headboard to crush, anything else."

"Whatever you do, do not go down on them first," Emmett replies. "Tried it with Rose, and she liked it. The problem was that once I got the taste of their essence, I wanted to bite her there too. It was almost liked I craved it more than her blood."

That would explain why the night of Prom, I had to leave. Bella didn't know it, but I placed my fingers in my mouth after messing with her, the taste, the smells, and the rapid heartbeats had driven me into a frenzy. I had to push myself miles away from her in order to calm down. Which would explain why I completely uprooted a tree in the process, I thought it was just from the climax, but it would appear that it was from the whole ordeal.

Satisfied with my answers, and ready to head home, because Alice refused to let me stay with Bella tonight, stating something about bad luck and all. I was to head home and work on getting the backyard set up for the wedding. We worked all night and by the time daylight came everything was done to Alice's specifications. I headed toward my room to shower and change. I knew when Bella pulled into the driveway. I could hear her tires on the 101 and knew she was on her way to me. Another instruction from Alice kept me bound in the room for the rest of the day. I kept myself busy reading listening to music, it was difficult; I could smell Bella in the house and wanted to be with her.

Alice rapped on my door sometime later telling me it was time to get ready and to head directly out to the backyard. I was nervous; worried she would back out, and scared about our wedding night. I was anxious to see Bella, she was always beautiful to me, but something about seeing her in a wedding dress pleased me greatly.

Alice whispered to me to get in position, it was time. I headed towards the alter and waited for my bride to come down the aisle to me. When Rosalie started playing Bella's Lullaby, I knew she was coming, but couldn't see her yet. When Bella and her father came around the corner, I got my first look at her; God, she was gorgeous. Her hair was pulled up on her head, showing off her neck. Her veil was pinned in the back, and not all around her face. The dress was elegant and looked to be something from my past. Bella was definitely an old soul; she preferred things that most teens nowadays would think looked to old. My mother's ring was a prime example; she thought it was beautiful, whereas Jessica thought she needed a huge diamond instead. The girl didn't know that the whole ring was a diamond, just multiples instead of one big one.

When Bella finally made it to me, Charlie placed her hand in mine, which pleased me and made me feel whole. It felt right and good to be with her, and after today, it would truly be forever. Once everything was over, and the vows were read, we celebrated with a huge party, all our family and friends were there, human, vampire and wolves alike. The reception was great, Bella dances with Jake, and the rest of the wolves were there to celebrate our union. This was important to them too.

After everything was done, Bella and I boarded a plane to Isle Esme. I didn't tell her where we were going, wanting to keep it a secret for a long as I could. I wanted to see the excitement on her face when we showed up on the island. I knew we wouldn't be there long. Ashton had brought another letter from Bella, which she had told him to hold on to, and give to me on the night of our wedding. While Bella was dancing with Jake, I was able to read it and see that this would be when she got pregnant and not to panic. She also told me not to worry about hurting her, because I never could or would. Her words from the past were reassuring.

When we climbed off the boat at the dock, I scooped her up into my arms caring her across the threshold of the house. See looked around and was in awe of the place. I headed back out to the boat to get our things, and left her to looking around. When I entered the bedroom with our suite cases, she asked for a human moment and I knew that she needed to prepare.

I headed out the double doors to the ocean. I decided to go with Emmett's suggestion first, some of the things he said made sense. I pulled off my shirt leaving a trail for her to follow to the shore. The moon was out and it was a perfect time, once I was nude, I made my way into the water. I waited patiently for Bella. Her heart was beating out of her chest before she even made it outside. Once she arrived on the beach, I didn't turn around and look at her. I knew she was there; I could hear and smell her. I heard the sound of her towel dropping and her footsteps coming into the water towards me. She stood beside me for a while just looking at the moon casting its light across the water. I reached for her pulling her in front of me, with her back to my body. For the first time, we where naked and our bodies where touching.

"You skin feels so warm, in the water," she states while looking over the ocean. I didn't say anything; I just rubbed my hands over her body. Touching every inch that I could, she spun around in my arms. Pressing her little body into mine, letting me feel every inch of her against me. The heat from her skin was burning me up; I could stand it anymore leaning down to capture her lips with mine. I had to remember she had to breathe, because I could kiss her forever and never take a breath.

I pulled us deeper into the water, and lifted Bella up my body. I was already struggling to contain myself, and was already hard for her. Once we were deep enough for me to stand up, but still be covered in the water. I sank into her body, and heard her cry out. I kissed her shoulders and her cheeks, whispering words of gratitude, and encouragement. I knew she would be hurting, but what came next I wasn't expecting. Emmett had told me about human women, not being able to have a climax the first time they have sex, but it appeared that Bella would not be having that problem. As I rocked into her body, her moans got stronger and louder. The ocean rocked us and with added the motions I was giving her, and it felt so good.

I could hear her heart thunder in her chest, smell the adrenaline coursing through her veins, faintly smell the blood from our coupling, I heard her moans and groan as I thrusted into her body, and then felt as she squeezed me from the inside. I could smell the faint scents of her orgasm in the air, which triggering my own. I growl out my release into her, and have to blow in her face making her hold her breath while I dunk us under the water, trying to rid myself of the thoughts of biting her.

When we both surface again, she rubs the water from her face. Giving me a weird look and I chuckle, apparently me dunking her hadn't gone over well with her. I have to explain, before my wife is mad during our honeymoon.

"I had to Bella, I know you don't understand, but it was the only thing I could think to do out here in the water. I had to keep from biting you and dunking you under the water was the best option." She huffs, but nods her head in agreement.

"You could have bitten into a fish swimming by," she states while rolling her eyes.

"I could have if I hadn't scared them away with my presents." I chuckle again, and she giggles a little. I notice that she starts to shiver a little and I decide that it is time to get out of the water. I don't want her catching a cold while we are on the island.

I lead her toward the shore and grab the towel, and wrap it around her shoulder. Rubbing her arms, and trying to warm her body up. I lean down placing a kiss on her lips. She reaches out grabbing my hand and leading me to the bedroom. Once we enter the room, she drops the towel. Showing me everything in the dim lights, of the room, and my breath hitches at the site of her. She's beautiful and all mine, I have already claimed her body, but I want it again. I can't help myself, and the sound she makes as I climb onto the bed with her, is all the encouragement I need to be with her again.

I look around the room while Bella rests after the last session we had. I knew I had to let her rest and the way she looks, I want her again. The biggest thing that concerns me is the bruises that I placed on her body while having sex with her. I can't and won't be doing it again. Surely what we have done would be enough for her to conceive our daughter.

I can always tell when Bella is on her period, anyways. I can smell it, but never say anything to her about it because I don't want to embarrass her. If she knew I wasn't the only one that could she would be mortified. I have studied enough over the years to understand the basic of conception, and know that she has days that are more fertile than others days. I can also smell when her body changes during these times too it's the scent of estrogen and luteinizing hormone coursing through her veins that gives her away. I will have a better idea if she is pregnant when I can smell the progesterone in her system. This will be when her body will start preparing itself for the baby. I sigh knowing that times are about to get a little tougher. I have read the letters to Carlisle, seen Robbie and Henry come into this world. I know that the next little bit of time will be tough on her body. I send a silent prayer to God to protect her.

When Bella is about to wake I head toward the kitchen to prepare her something to eat. When she doesn't come directly in there, I head back to the bedroom to find her looking in the mirror. Smiling contently, with her eyes closed, and a glow surrounding her, she must be able to sense my presents because she slowly turns looking over her shoulder at me.

"How is your morning? Are you hurting? Feel weak?" I have to know how she is going. I worry about the marks I put on her body and wonder if she is sore.

"I am fine, Edward." She states, "More than fine actually. Can we do that again?" She asks, and I frown because I don't want to hurt her anymore. I had already destroyed the room, and now owe Esme a new bed.

"I won't do it again Bella," she frowns at me, and I can't help it.

"Why?" she asks timidly.

"I hurt you Bella; I marked you with my hands." I come over to stand behind her and show her all the marks I placed on her body. She rubs over the spot on her hips and shoulder, she doesn't even winch at the pain.

"It doesn't hurt Edward, you know how I am. I bruise easily, you have seen me fall and get back up with a terrible bruise. It happens it could have happened if we were both human too." She shrugs as if it's nothing to her.

"I hurt you, I am a monster. I don't like it and won't be doing it again, until you are changed." She gasps and starts crying. She runs to the bathroom where she sits on the phone with Alice for the next couple of hours. I hurt her feelings, and now I have to endure her being mad at me during our honeymoon. I run my fingers through my hair, and try to figure out some way to salvage the rest of our honeymoon.

She slowly walks around the corner of the kitchen. When I see her, her eyes are swollen, her nose is red, and she looks like shit. I want to run over to her and scoop her into my arms telling her how sorry I am, but I stand still waiting to see what she says.

"Alice says you're wrong and that you have to in order to ensure the birth of Renesmee." She states, "She can still see my future, so I'm not pregnant yet." With the others, like when Rosalie was pregnant she couldn't see her future anymore, and we knew that this was the first clue to being pregnant with a hybrid.

"What did Alice the little oracle tell you?" I chuckled, because leave it to the girls to gang up against me. I wonder when Rosalie will be calling to ream me a new one.

"That you are not finished, to suck it up and enjoy. That you know that you want this too." She smiles thinking she has won the battle and in someways she has, but I am not going down without a fight.

"Aren't you sore? You should be, the first time doesn't always feel all that good, and maybe we should at least wait a few days." I'm going in for the kill and I think we both know it. "I can tell when you are ovulating Bella, you smell different, I just haven't said anything. Give it a few days we are here for two weeks. Would you just give me two days?"

She huffs with annoyance, "Fine, but if you haven't lived up to your end of the bargain in two days plan on being accosted in the middle of the night." She stomps her little foot and heads back into the bedroom, we had planned to sleep in the blue room tonight being that I destroyed the white room last night. I chuckle to myself, I didn't win the war, but I did win a battle.

A few days later, after trying to keep Bella occupied for the first couple of days, I lead her all around the island. We went swimming in the lagoon, site seeing in the rainforest, and played chess for a while. My time of staling is over, and on the second night on the island, Bella starts having bad dreams. She whimpers in her sleep, and cries out at different times. I wake her and when she tells me she has to have me again, I cave. I can't stand to see her this way, and I know that it is time.

Our time on the island is great, and I can't wait to see if we have conceived a child yet. Alice had called me telling me to avoid calling the house cleaners, that the woman would know what was wrong with Bella. She didn't have to say anymore. I knew what was coming next. I headed out of the house early, and set out to feed because our time on the island was coming to an end. We had been here for two weeks, and I knew what would happen next, I had already secured the return trip tickets, and Carlisle was stocking the blood in the refrigerators at home waiting for us.

When I returned to the house, and found the chicken thrown in the trash, I headed straight to Bella. She had her head hanging over the toilet and tried to get me to leave. When I wouldn't, she finally gave in and let me try to comfort her during the worst spells of her sickness. I rubbed her back, and pulled her hair out of the way. When she finished I handed her a cloth to wipe her mouth.

"Hand me my case," she said while sitting on the toilet. I got it for her bring it over. She reimaged around for a few minutes, and then stopped.

"How long has it been since the wedding?" She asked, and I knew exactly what she was thinking at the moment.

"Fourteen days," I replied waiting for her to figure it out.

She got up making her way over to the long mirror on the back of the bathroom door. She raised her shirt and rubbed over her stomach. I watched as she gasped, and looked at me through the mirror.

"I'm pregnant?" she stated as a question instead of a statement.

"Yes, it would appear that you are." I smiled my crooked smile at her, I was excited that we were getting one-step closer to our happily ever after.

A/N: Alright…the version of Breaking Dawn but there will be more because we haven't seen Renesmee yet. So, please continue to read and review. The next chapter we will get into Renesmee's birth, Bella's change and the coming of the Volturi potentially. Thanks for reading and reviewing for those who have I appreciate it.
