JPOV

Watching Bella's reaction to the sights was something to see in itself. She looked like a kid in a candy store. If not for the brace around her ribs, I'm sure she would have been jumping up and down.

"Jasper?"

"Hum?"

"I love you so much for bringing me here. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen."

I swallowed twice, almost over come with tears. This hormonal shit was getting on my nerves. "Anytime, baby. I'll give you anything you want, you know that."

She smiled and I kissed her head. "I love you, with all my heart."

"I know."

We moved along the parking lot, onto the wood walkway towards the end of the dock where they were waiting with our boat.

"I think I might be sick, Jasper. I haven't been on water in forever."

"It'll be ok, baby. You can lay down when we get on and put your head in my lap."

"I don't want to throw up in front of everybody."

"You're pregnant. I don't give two shits what they think. They can kiss my fucking ass for all I care."

She glared at me, huffing. When we got to the end of the dock, getting Bella onto the boat proved harder than any of us had planned. The normal way would be to pull her arms, even hold onto her sides. With the brace, that wasn't going to happen. When she tried to get on herself, the boat would rock and I had a flash of her falling into the water and hurting herself and the baby. That was a no go.

"I can pick you up, Miss. Swan, if you'd like." My lead security guard, Felix, offered and Bella nodded.

The part we didn't think about was how he'd pick her up.

"If you'll move closer, kinda lean against me."

I felt myself starting to get pissed, but was surprised to see that Felix was more uncomfortable about it than Bella.

It only took seconds and he looked to me. "How about you do this, Jasper?"

I agreed, jumping into the boat. They braced my back, as I leaned up for Bella to press her chest against mine. She kept her arms down by her sides as I crossed my arms under her butt, lifting her straight up. She yelped when I moved, her feet leaving the dock. Once she was safe on the boat, she sat down and clutched the railing.

I took my seat beside her, Bella grabbing my hand hard. They had me put on a vest, but couldn't on Bella, which didn't sit too well. I was glad it only took thirty minutes to get to my beach, running up onto land. Once again, I got out and had Bella lean against me so I could lift her. They carried our bags up to the front door of the bungalow.

Security did a sweep to make sure things were ok, the only people there were a cleaning crew. They were just finishing as we came in. Bella was speechless and wide eye. It took her nearly an hour to walk the entire place, including outside. I sat in one of the loungers, our security at different points around the house, out of sight.

She came up, smiling at me. "It's perfect, Jasper."

"I bet you want your honeymoon here. Even the wedding."

I was surprised when she shook her head. "No. I like my camp idea. This could be our special place. Like for anniversaries and such."

I smiled, "Of course, baby. Never thought of it. Anytime you want to come here."

"Why are you so perfect, Jasper?"

I lifted an eyebrow at her, confused. "I'm not perfect. I'm far from it."

"To me, you are." She smiled, shrugging it off. "But I think that's how it is for every girl. The right guy comes along and he's perfect in her eyes."

"That explains why I think you're perfect for me."

She smiled, forcing me to stand up so I could kiss her. Bella moved closer, groaning.

"No sex, remember?"

I got an elbow in the ribs for my troubles. But she was smiling so I didn't take it personally. "I remember. But your kisses are addictive."

"Yours too."

She pressed her hands against the brace, giving a small giggle. We headed inside to get settled for the rest of the day. It was getting close to 5 and we needed to eat, especially Bella.

"What do you want to eat, baby?"

"Something light, please. These medicines are making my stomach flip flop."

"Fruit?"

"Sure."

I headed to the cooking area, rummaging through the fridge. There were platters of fresh cut fruit waiting for us. I smiled, thinking of mom. She really knew what to get us. How I loved her.

I pulled two out with the most variety, setting them on the counter. Bella kicked her sandals off, heading over. She smiled wide, taking a seat.

"Drink?"

"Some water."

"How about coconut milk?"

"That sounds good."

I got two glasses, filling them up. We took turns feeding each other. Bella had relaxed, smiling and giggling. After she took her medicine she seemed to relax, the pain not as bad.

"I'd like to go get into the water, but I don't know if can with this brace."

"I'll call dad, go lay on the bed."

She did as told, and I waited until she was out of range before dialing dad. After he gave me the run down on how to get her ready to go into the water, I smiled and went in to tell her.

Of course, Bella was sound asleep on the bed, her legs spread out on the bed. I laughed, getting in beside her. Tonight was a bust, but she was at ease and not in pain, so it was a win in my mind.


Next Day

I woke with a start when I heard Bella laughing. It was so loud, that I almost rolled out of bed. The sun was shining into our room, all of the bay windows wide open, the breeze running down the curtains. I went to the patio off of our room and saw Bella skipping down the beach, collecting shells.

I laughed, unable to stop the smile on my face. She was sporting a two piece bathing suit, a silk wrap tied around her hips, and that damn pink brace high up on her chest. The only visible skin was her bump, which did tricks on my hard on.

Knowing Bella, she had packed the camera and I wasn't about to miss this shit for anything. I jumped into the shower, pulling on some trunks before taking off after her.

She turned, smiling, when she heard me come down the beach. "Good morning, boo!"

She leaped forward, kissing me soundly before flouncing off to continue her shell search.

"Morning, baby. You look better."

"I feel great. It's this place. I just feel free. The animals are wonderful, the food is delicious and the sights are breathtaking. I don't feel the pain when I'm out here looking at the water. It's just... magic..."

"The sights are something." I murmured as I stared at her body. She caught me, blushing.

"Thank you, boo. I love you."

"Love you too, baby. Did you eat?"

"I had some fresh pineapple. And the coconut milk was great. I think we'll have to take some home with us."

"Anything."

"Come look for shells."

"I will. Let me take your picture." I raised the camera, Bella playing coy. She wouldn't look directly at me, staring out to sea. While I couldn't see her face, I got a wonderful side shot. I snapped it before she could move again. "I got one for my surprise."

Bella jumped a bit, glaring at me. "I haven't been able to do what I wanted because of this brace. But thank you, Mr. Noisy."

All I could do was smile at her, before kissing her silly. She grabbed the camera from me, raising it beside our faces. I opened an eye and caught her snapping pics of us kissing. When we broke apart she was all smiles.

"I've always wanted photos like that of us."

"Kissing?"

"Yes. Hugging, snuggling. Just being together."

I kissed her forehead, smiling, "This is the perfect time to fill your scrapbook, baby. I'm all for posing for you."

"Thank you."

We wondered hand in hand on the beach, picking up different kinds of shells. Bella would stare at it, noting each difference before putting it back down.

"Why don't we take some?"

"They're too pretty to take from here. They need to stay in their home."

"It's just some shells."

"I know. But if every time someone went to the beach and took "some" shells, there wouldn't be any after a while."

Damn, my girl was bright.

"You're right, baby."

"Maybe we can take two when we leave, one for each of us, or maybe just one, for the first time we came here."

"A family tradition."

"Exactly. Then each time we come back we'll take however many it is."

"I'll do whatever you want baby."

She kissed me, pulling me after her. We got closer to the edge of the water, letting it run over our feet, Bella wiggling her toes in the sand. The air caught her hair and it was a sight for me. She looked like an angel, fallen from the skies. I couldn't stop myself from taking the camera back from her. I followed her down the beach, snapping photos as we went.

It wasn't long before she wanted to take photos of me, grabbing the camera.

"Want to head back for some lunch?"

"Sure. Can we go fishing later?"

"Sure."

"We can eat what we catch."

I raised an eyebrow. "I'll have to clean it before you cook it. Without you watching."

"I'm not weak."

"No, but you're stomach is."

She frowned, "True."

"We can go into the woods a bit to one of the creeks around here."

"Why? Is it easier fishing?"

I laughed softly, "Well, there is fish, but there is also some crabs and crawdads as well. I had a lot of fun as a kid catching them with a hand net. Makes eating them so much better."

"I'd love to try."

"You might have to sit and watch, baby. There's a lot of bending required and it'll put a hurting on your ribs."

"I'll be your fan girl."

We laughed together, making our way back to the bungalow. Bella put the camera away, while I got out some more fruit, coconut milk and made some sandwiches. Together we finished two each, and all the fruit.

I laid back on the couch, Bella laying between my legs, her head resting back against my shoulder.

"Where are the guards?"

"They have posts around points of the island. Dad keeps security on here at all times. We have some really nice homes and toys here, if we left it unsecured, we'd come back and there'd be nothing."

"Oh."

"The water is watched by Brazil's military, so that's safe. And we watch our island, so that's safe."

"It's like our house, except bigger."

"Yes. How do you like it so far?"

"I love it. If I didn't love working, I'd say we should move here."

"We can always retire to here."

"I'd like that."

I kissed her head, closing my eyes. It was nice and peaceful laying with Bella. There was just enough breeze coming through the house to make it the right temperature. Time went by faster than I expected, Bella waking me up just as it was getting darker out.

"Can we go catching, Jasper?"

"Sure, baby. I didn't mean to fall asleep. You should have woke me."

"I like laying on you."

I laughed, kissing her. We got up and I grabbed a bag from the kitchen to carry what we caught. Bella held onto my arm as we headed behind the house, down the little walk path to a creek.

She found a rock to sit on as I kicked my flip flops off to the grass.

"Do you see any?"

"Tons of crawdads. I think the crabs will be closer to the opening of the creek where water from the ocean comes in."

"Ok."

The trick was to grab them before they grabbed you. I hopped around the wet rocks for 20 minutes, quickly filling the bag up with more than enough food. By the time I stood back to look at Bella, I was soaking wet. She smiled, giggling softly.

I grabbed my flip flops, helping Bella up. We moved closer to the opening of the creek where the water got a bit deeper, almost a foot. Once Bella was sitting up on the ground, I went to pulling rocks up to look for crabs.

"Jasper, Jasper!"

I jumped, turning to see what was wrong. "What?"

"They're by the rocks on the sand!"

I followed to where she was pointing, hustling over to grab as many as I could before they got away to deeper water.

"That should be enough for us, right?"

"Yeah, if you don't want any fish."

"Do you feel like trying for some?"

"Sure. Are you ok to wait to eat?"

"Yup." She perked up, moving over to me. We headed back to the shed by the house, grabbing a fishing poll. Bella carried the bag, and we made our way to the small fishing dock built by the house.

I helped her sit down, her feet hanging over the edge, while I found some worms to put on my hook. Letting the line out, I threw it as hard as I could into the water.

I took my seat beside her, holding tight to it.

"Are you enjoying yourself, baby?"

She smiled, nodding. "Very much so. I love it. It's so relaxing. I can fall asleep on a dime here. And to be honest, my ribs don't really hurt. There's too much to look at, to really think about anything else."

"Good, good. Maybe some time this week, we'll go walking into the jungle a bit."

Bella almost hoped off the dock with her excitement. "I'd love to take some pictures."

"We'll take as many as you want."

"Is it safe?"

"In the jungle?"

"Yes."

I nodded, "Yeah, our family has hunted here for as long as the island has been in our family. They found a few new species of animals on here as well."

"Wow."

"Yeah. It was more a safety precaution than anything else. With all the kids in the family, our extended family that is, generations back, they wanted to make sure that if they came here and some of the littler ones wandered off; it wouldn't be a death situation."

"That's good. How much hunting went on? Do you guys still hunt here?"

"Not anymore. My grandparents didn't like to kill the animals here, my grandma loved the wildlife, said they never bothered no one, so why bother them? But we do keep tabs on how many there are. If we get to many, we let the wildlife agency come in and move herds out. To zoos. Or to other known habitats that are running low to help repopulate."

"It's kinda like your own private breeding ground."

I laughed, "Sorta, in a way. Most of the animals on here are herbivores, plant eaters. The only real meat eaters are the water creatures."

"What about bugs and snakes?"

"Surprisingly not much. A lot of wild plants keep the bugs away, and with that, the snakes follow. There isn't any mice or big birds either."

"No birds?"

"Some, the normal jungle birds. But none of the bigger carnivores."

"It's the perfect paradise."

"Yeah."

Bella smacked my arm, waving madly towards the water. I had been so caught up in talking with her, I hadn't noticed the first hard tug on my line. Which meant, when I did, I jerked the line so hard, the fish went sailing over our heads, landing on the sand.

Bella was in a fit of giggles, crying from the pain, but unable to stop laughing as she held her ribs. I glared at her, hopping up to go after our dinner. Once it was off the hook and in our bag, I helped her up and we headed back to the house. She went inside while I put the fishing pole away.

As I got closer to the house, I could hear the music playing and it go me thinking. I signaled one of the security guards, who jogged over.

"What can I do for you, boss?"

"Go to my parent's house, bring my guitar, some candles, and one of my mom's beach blankets."

"When would you like it?"

"Have it ready for tomorrow, I'll let you know when."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, send someone to the big island and get some flowers. A nice wild bouquet."

"Yes, sir."

"And see if they can make a flower crown with ribbon as well."

He smiled wide, nodding. I laughed, and we parted ways. I was one hell of a sappy ass fool in love.

Bella was moving slowly to the music when I came in. She smiled when she saw me, coming over for a kiss. I warmly smacked her butt, gaining a beautiful flush on her cheeks.

Moving into the kitchen, I worked on our food, getting water and spices boiling. While the crawdads and crab were cooking, I cleaned the fish, cutting two big pieces for us. I added some butter and lemon to the griddle, before placing the fish on top. Bella sat on the stool and watched me, smiling.

"Need any help?"

"Get the table ready?"

"Sure."

She moved around me, getting plates, folks and knifes ready. To my surprised she even whipped up a homemade coleslaw to go with everything. 40 minutes later and things were ready to eat. Bella melted the butter while I plated the food, carrying it to the table. With fresh juice for both of us, we sat down and had a genuine paradise feast.

That stuffed us completely. Both of us waddled to the sink to do the dishes. I helped her to the bedroom, where we helped each other wash off, pulling our night clothes on. I propped Bella up with pillows since she had to wear the brace for another two days before she could sleep without it.

The food did the trick, knocking her out, which I was grateful for. Our first night of wonderful peace and I wanted my girl to enjoy it all the way.
