"Oh my God, Jake, look!" I shrieked as I looked out the jet window, the cluster of small islands coming into view. They were lush and green with beautiful mountains, speckled with color from the array of flora, and the teal blue of the ocean completing the scene perfectly. The Hawaiian islands reminded me a lot of Isabelle Island, but they were much larger with even more vegetation.

"Oh wow, it's really beautiful" Jacob replied as he leaned over me and rested his chin on top of my shoulder and looked out the window.

We were getting ready to land, and our pilot gave us the time and temperature, which was a balmy 80 degrees. I was so happy that we had finally arrived, because I was feeling a little fatigued and I was so hungry I was ready to eat my shoes. The prenatal vitamins, and entering into my second trimester, had completely chased away the frequent nausea I had felt earlier in the pregnancy. My energy was much higher now, too, but I still got more fatigued than usual.

"I can't wait to see your gorgeous body in a bikini on the beach" Jacob murmured in my ear, a shiver running through me when his warm breath caressed my neck.

"Even with my little pooch?" I asked, even though I knew how he loved seeing me pregnant.

"I love that little pooch, and I can't wait until your belly is even more swollen. You are even more beautiful when you're carrying my child" he murmured as he brought his face closer and brushed his lips against mine.

"I still think you are in serious need of professional help with this obsession you have with pregnant women" I playfully teased.

"Not just any pregnant woman, Isabella….only you" he smirked, brushing a piece of erratic hair behind my ear. I felt my cheeks heat up at his compliments, so I closed my eyes and nuzzled my face into his neck and softly sighed.

A few minutes later, the jet had stopped taxiing and the flight attendant opened up the hatch for us.

We walked down the steps onto the tarmac, and there were several Hawaiian women dressed in grass skirts and bikini tops waiting for us. As each of us stepped onto the ground, the women approached us, placing hibiscus leis around our necks and kissing us on the cheek.

"I've been leid!" Emmett bellowed, warranting a slap in the head from Rose.

"Animal" she snapped, her lips turned upward in a little smile. Even though she scolded Emmett all the time, you could tell that she adored him completely. Their little display was interrupted when a stunning young woman, dressed in a pretty floral dress, walked over to us.

"Hello, my name is Milahni, and I am your concierge for your trip. Welcome to Maui!" she said, smiling at us all.

Milahni shook everyone's hand, then we followed her to our awaiting limo's. I gawked when I saw the 3 pearl white stretch Cadillac Escalades waiting for us, their drivers already loading all of our luggage into each one. Once everything was loaded, the drivers held open the door for us, closing it once we were all inside.

As we drove to the estate, I looked out the window at the beautiful scenery, marveling at all of the rich colors. The beaches had sand so white that it looked like sugar, the water so clear and blue, and the vegetation lush and colorful. I rolled down the window and breathed in the perfumed air, which smelled like a combination of ocean, fruit and flowers. The sun was bright, making both the sand and water shimmer ethereally, and I couldn't help but think that this is what Heaven should look like.

When we pulled up to the estate, my eyes grew huge at the immense structure and perfectly manicured grounds. There were palm trees everywhere, as well as flowers of every color, fruit trees, and wild parrots perched on the branches. We pulled into the circle drive, which even had an awning in case of rain, and began getting out of the limo.

"Oh my God, Edward, how did you find this place?" I asked as I looked around in awe.

"I found it through a Realtor, actually. It's been on the market, fully furnished, for 6 months, and to offset the carrying costs, the owners rent it out for vacations and such." he said, looking around and obviously happy with the estate so far.

"If you would please come with me, and I will give you the grand tour. The staff will be out momentarily to bring your bags inside, and once you have made your sleeping arrangements, they will bring your bags to your rooms" Milahni said as she opened the double front door and ushered us inside.

The house had a mostly open floor plan, the massive living room flowing into the dining room. The floors were made of bamboo, stained a rich, warm tan. The furniture was island chic, made of walnut colored wicker with cream colored cushions with a coral flower pattern. There were vases of fresh flowers on several tables, as well as elegant sculptures and other various pieces of fine art. The kitchen was enormous, with 2 of everything from sub zero refrigerators, ovens, stoves, dishwashers and so forth. The cabinetry was made of blonde wood, which accented the soft yellow walls perfectly.

"There are 5 bedrooms, each one having 2 queen beds, 5 master suites, each one with a king size bed, private bath with Jacuzzi tub, and private patios either looking out on the beach, or facing the butterfly garden. There are also 4 villas on the grounds, each one equipped with kitchenette, a full bath, patio, a sitting area with TV and sofa, and a king size bed with 2 dressers. There is also a small cottage, located at the end of the property, right where part of the beach begins. It has 1 bedroom with a king size bed, full bath, living area, full kitchen, and has its own hot tub located to the left of the patio. I understand that this will be where you will be spending your honeymoon, is that correct?" she asked, loking over at Edward and Joey.

"Yes, that is correct" Edward replied. Poor Joey looked just as shell shocked as I, her eyes huge as she took in everything around us.

After the tour of the house, Milahni escorted us outside to the pool area, and I gasped at the size. The pool was rectangular, about 50 feet long by 30 feet wide, and was surrounded by a bunch of chaise lounges. There were about 15 tables with grass umbrellas, and each table was surrounded by 8 chairs. There was a tiki bar, complete with a grass overhang, as well as 12 stools for people to sit on.

"Way to go Edward! I can't believe you found this place, bro! We should all pitch in a buy it together, because it's unbelievable!" Emmett exclaimed as he slapped Edward on the back.

"If you are interested in purchasing the property, I can have the Realtor stop by and go over things with you" Milahni explained.

"What is the asking price?" Carlisle asked her.

"Currently, with all the furnishings, they are asking 30 million, but that is negotiable" she replied. Jacob had to slap me on the back because I started choking at the price of the estate, and once I was able to breathe again, I heard everyone talking about it excitedly.

"Think about it! We can come here all the time, and if we all chipped in, it will be easy to afford!" Alice said as she bounced around excitedly.

"You can count Emmett and I in, definitely!" Rosalie said as she looked at the pool dreamily.

"We can discuss it later, once we all have settled in" Carlisle said.

Once we were totally done with the tour, Milahni left us to settle in. Jacob and I decided to take one of the villas, so we went to inform the staff where to put our bags. Carlisle and Esme decided on one of the master suites in the main house, while Emmett and Rosalie opted for one of the villas. I could see some of the kids sigh in relief, because everyone knew how they were working on getting pregnant and could be quite loud in their efforts.

"Joey and I will share a room! At least until the honeymoon, that is. Jazz, you and Edward can bunk together until the wedding, that way we can make sure these 2 lovebirds don't go sneaking off to fool around!" Alice stated.

"Ha! I knew you were going to pull this, Alice! Just like you did to Jake and I the night before our wedding. You are evil incarnate, did you know that?" I laughed.

"Normally, Alice, I would argue this with you because it is my wedding after all, but I don't feel like getting my ass kicked" Edward said, his voice filled with frustration.

"Oh shut up and deal with it. How do you think I feel, having to be away from Jazz the next few nights? It's a small price to pay in order to make the vision I had come true, don't you think?" she asked with a huge grin on her pretty face.

"Ok, I've heard enough. Alice, I will stay with you until the wedding day. Now, I'm done talking about it, ok?" Joey said, fully annoyed and embarrassed.

"Excuse me, I just wanted to inform you that lunch is ready" one of the housekeepers said, giving us a much needed distraction.

"Thank you, Meghan. I think we will eat outside around the pool area" Edward said to the young woman. She looked a bit shaken as to how he knew her name, never having met her before, and she scurried off to begin bringing lunch outside.

An hour later, we were all stuffed, so we decided to get changed and go lay out on the beach for the remainder of the afternoon. Everyone scattered to their rooms to unpack and change, and Jacob took my hand and lead me out to our villa. It was beautiful inside, decorated in tropical patterns, with aquas, yellows and soft pinks throughout. The bed was amazing, a coral bedspread covering it, along with a bunch of decorative pillows. After we unpacked, I laid down on the soft bed, needing a rest. Jacob laid behind me, pulling me against his body and burying his face in my hair.

"This place is beautiful, Jake" I said as I curled into him.

"Hmm, I agree Bells. I think we should chip in and buy it, what do you think?" he murmured.

"I don't know, Jake. We already have the island…." I began, torn between wanting to own a part of this magical place and the thought of spending so much money. We could easily afford it, but I didn't like spending money like it was water. There were so many other things we could do with it, like helping people and such. I was never into flashy, extravagant things, so I struggled with this decision.

"Honey, we are in the financial position to be able to do this, and it would be a great place for family vacations. Think about it, ok? We deserve it….YOU deserve it" he gently said.

"I'll think about it, ok?" I said, smiling when he moved my hair away from my neck and kissed the area just under my ear.

"Ok. So, do you want to go down to the beach?" he asked.

"Absolutely! I can take a nap while sunning myself" I grinned, sitting up.

Jacob put on his swim trunks while I went into the bathroom to put my hair into a ponytail and to change into the bikini I specifically got for this vacation. It was hot pink with a built in push up bra that gave me some nice cleavage. It was a style I usually wouldn't gravitate to, but I knew it would drive Jacob wild. When I stepped out of the bathroom, his jaw dropped when he saw me.

"You are fucking gorgeous" he growled, crossing the room quickly and crashing his lips to mine. I moaned when his tongue curled along mine, sparking white hot desire deep within me. I got up on my tip toes and pressed the length of my body to his, smiling against his lips when he gave a passionate growl.

"If you keep kissing me like that, we will never make it down to the beach" he groaned, untangling himself from me. I let out a frustrated breath, then stomped over to the dresser and yanked out a pair of shorts, quickly pulling them on. My anger dissipated when he came up behind me and wrapped his strong arms around my chest.

"Don't be mad, Bells. I fully plan on fucking you senseless later tonight, so for the rest of the day, I want you to think about all of the delicious things I'm going to do to your body later" he murmured in my ear, sending a shiver of desire down my spine. My resolve was wavering fast, and I knew if we didn't get out of the villa soon, I wouldn't be able to control myself.

"Jake, we need to get out of here before I throw you down onto the bed and fuck you senseless" I quipped, giggling when his eyes grew wide. He grabbed my hand and practically dragged me out of the villa, the tortured look on his face sending me into a fit of giggles as we made our way down to the beach.

I was immensely pleased with how everything was working out with the wedding plans so far. The estate surpassed my expectations, and I could tell that Josephine was happy with it as well. I was also thrilled at the thought of buying the place, so I called the Realtor after lunch. She was going to meet us the next day to go over the price, and I made the decision that, no matter what, I was going to purchase it, regardless if anyone else wanted to go in on it. I had to get it for Joey, because the joy on her face as she took everything in made my heart swell in happiness.

"Edward, I'm sorry about Alice" Jasper said as we unpacked our things.

"You don't need to apologize, Jasper. It's not your fault that she's the way she is. I wouldn't want her any other way, and I love her dearly, even if she is a little off" I chuckled.

"She just wants to make sure this is special for you and Josephine, because she loves you both so much and wants you to experience everything fully" he explained.

"I know. I can't believe that our wedding is here already. It seems so surreal to me" I quietly said, my thoughts immediately going to Joey. I couldn't wait until she was finally my wife, as well as building our life together. I thought I had experienced the most powerful love ever when I fell in love with Bella, but my love for Josephine was hundreds of times stronger.

"Ok, boys! Let's hurry up and get down to the beach! I packed a cooler full of beer already, so get a move on!" Emmett bellowed as he walked into our room. Jasper and I looked at him, then each other, and we busted up laughing. Emmett was wearing hot pink swim trunks, with black palm trees all over them. He still had his lei on, as well as orange flip flops, huge white Hollywoodish sunglasses, and he looked ridiculous.

"Damn, Emmett, did Rosalie see you in that get up?" Jasper asked as he held his sides from laughing so hard.

"She sure as hell did, little bro, and she's still over in the villa laughing her ass off at me. OH! And get this! We are all taking hula lessons tomorrow evening!" he said, grinning like a little kid.

"Whoa, hang on there! I am NOT wearing a grass skirt!" I said, looking at him like he was nuts.

"Edward, man, loosen up already! Think about the funny stories we can tell our children! I can't wait!" Emmett said as he started moving his arms and hips, attempting to hula dance. I rolled my eyes at him, then grabbed my red swim trunks from the bed and went to get changed.

A short time later, we walked out into the pool area, where everyone was waiting for us. When I saw Joey standing there, in a white bikini with coral flowers on it, my mouth got dry and my heart stopped for a few beats. She looked like a goddess, her long limbs graceful, her stomach flat and toned, her dark hair shimmering with mahogany high lights as the sun hit it. I was completely speechless and I couldn't get my body to function properly as I drank her in.

When she saw me, her face lit up in a gentle smile, her cheeks flushed a delicate pink. She walked over to me, wrapping her arms around my torso and resting her head against the front of my shoulder. Her touch snapped me back to reality, so I circled her with my arms and rested my chin on top of her head, breathing her scent in.

"Are you ready for some quality beach time?" she asked, looking up at me with a huge grin. I traced the bridge of her nose with my fingertip, tapping the tip of it playfully.

"Absolutely. I can't wait to feel the sun on my skin, not having to be afraid anymore of sparkling." I said, kissing her quickly.

"Yo, Jasper! Grab an end of this cooler man!" Emmett called out.

Once the guys got the cooler, we all began making our way down to the beach. It was nice and secluded, with lush palm trees peppering the huge expanse of shimmering sand. It was only a short walk, maybe about 200 feet from the estate, which was really nice. There were several chaise lounges for us to use, in case we didn't want to lay on top of towels on the sand, as well as several huge umbrellas that provided shade to those who didn't want to get sunburned.

I spread out the large beach blanket I had gotten from inside the main house and placed a bottle of suntan oil down. I patted the spot next to me, and Joey sat down beside me.

"This is beautiful, Edward. Thank you so much for finding it for us" she said as she pulled her hair into a high ponytail so that the oil wouldn't get in it.

"I thought you would like it. When I found it, I knew right away that it would be perfect." I said, taking her hand in mine.

"Ok! Who wants a beer!" Emmett yelled as he opened up the cooler. Everyone decided to have one, except for Bella of course, but when Emmett brought one over to Esme, she declined.

"I can't right now" she gently said, her face flushing.

"Esme?" Bella asked, a knowing look on her face. Carlisle reached over then, taking her hand into his and bringing it up to his lips. They gazed into each others eyes, their faces lit up with happy smiles.

"I'm pregnant!"
