A/N: Thank you all so much for your continued support and rave reviews. I really appreciate it and I swear I'm typing as fast as I can. Those who where confused about the condom, none to worry, it is all explained in this chapter (as promised )

I woke up that next morning with Alice perched in Edwards's usual spot.

"So, was the sex as good as what I saw?" She was positively beaming.

"Alice!" I grumbled. "Go crawl under a rock and stay there." I stretched lazily and noticed I was still nude. I didn't mink much in front of Alice. After my last visit to Phoenix, I needed assistance showering, and she saved me and Charlie both.

"Where is Edward? Hunting already?" I yawned.

Alice frowned. "Bella, it is two - thirty in the afternoon."

I shot bolt upright. "What?"

It was then when I took notice to the golden haired goddess on the couch.

"Well, I'm glad to see that you mad good use of my gift." Rosalie half giggled as she walked - well, rather glided - over though join Alice on the edge of the bed.

I quickly gathered the sheets trying to cover myself a little bit more.

"Silly, Bella! Your face is almost as red as that strawberry above your left breast." I looked down under the blanket and noticed a raw patch of skin just above my nipple. I felt myself grow a deeper red.

"Don't be embarrassed, Bella. I'm flattered." She was giggling now. She bent down and picked up the bottoms and teasingly tossed them on my lap. "But I had no idea Howell he would react. Obviously sapphire blue was the right color, but next time, maybe no strings or ties. He's too easily excited." I picked up the shorts and realized how he had gotten them off so quickly last night. The corsets on the sides where completely gone.

I began to laugh too. "Thank you, Rosalie. It really was fun!"

I didn't feel the need to hide anymore. I had never seen this side of her before. I felt close to her.

"Ohh! Did he do the thing with his thumb? I heard Emmett telling him about it. I love that!" I felt like a little thirteen-year-old girl gossiping about a first kiss.

I searched through the memories of last night. "Um, I'm not sure what he did, exactly, but I know that it was good." I remembered every detail. The way his nostrils flared, how he kissed me, how his fingers moved exactly right, and how he told me I was beautiful right before my climax.

"I have a question." Both sat still and focused on what was coming next. "Rosalie, you told me once that vampires can't conceive, right?" she slowly nodded her head. "Well, then, why did Edward wear a condom?"

Alice's face lit up and I knew that she had it.

"It's because of the venom! I had never thought of that before. That makes since. If you can contract HIV from blood to blood contact, why not the venom from sexual? Hum, smart man that brother of mine." Alice looked very pleased at her analogy.

"Bella, you may want to dress. The rest of the family is home." Rosalie suggested gently. Two seconds later a door shut don stairs. Alice stood and walked to the closet coming back with a blue, satrapy, sundress and undergarments.

"Emmett, don't you dare!" Rosalie's voice was monotone. "If you say so much as one word or make one gesture - no sex for a week … Oh no, Bella would tell me." Rosalie was obviously carrying what became a heated conversation, about Emmett goading me about last night.

I heard the creaky floorboard at the end of the hall and shallow muttering.

"Yes she is." Rosalie sighed, and with that the huge mass of my brother - in - law filled the door.

"Awe, you wouldn't tell on me, would you Bella?" he asked with a huge grin on his face. I thought for a second, and then shrugged.

"Well, even if I didn't' tell on you, you would surly tell on yourself - in time - and I can't imagine that Edward would appreciate that very much." As I said this his brow furrowed in deep consideration. A smile crossed Rosalie's face in triumph. I looked over to Alice. I knew that look. She was having a vision.

Emmett held up his finger and opened his mouth to speak.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Emmett. He gets you." Alice said with a smile in her knowing eyes, as she snapped back into reality.

"Yeah, but what if I - "

"Nope." She said calmly

"Well, if he - "

"No." Alice yawned.

"But if - " he pleaded

"No, no, no! Edward will get you every time. You know he is a different fighter when it comes to protecting Bella. Weather it is her virtue, pride, physical being, or -"

"Well he sure the hell didn't do a good job of protecting her underwear!" he laughed as he held the ripped lingerie shorts between thumb and forefinger at arms length.

I felt my self turning red, and a deep growl came from Rosalie's chest.

"That is going to cost you a month!" she said through cold piercing eyes. She stood up to stalk out of the room and threw me an apologetic smile over her shoulder.

"Awe, come on. Rose!" Emmett pleaded.

Mow I was embarrassed and I felt a little guilty. Alice took notice.

"Don't feel bad, Bella. Now maybe we can get some peace and quiet around her. But in Rosalie Land, a month is really only a week or so."

"Peace and quiet? I have never noticed any noise before."

"When you're a vampire, your senses are piqued." She stated mater - of - factly.

"Duh." I laughed at my self.

There was a light knock at the door. It swung open and Jasper was there. Alice zoned out again for a moment.

"Hello, Bella. Hope you had a … pleasant night last night." There was an edge to his calm and I had an instinctual feeling that Jasper was picking up some of last night's vibes.

"Thank you Jasper." was all I could manage while heat rose to my cheeks.

"I apologize for Emmett. I know how he gets going. Trust me though, he is sorry he did it now."

"That's okay, Jasper. You can't control him." He smiled simply, and then realized that Alice had come out of her trance. She turned to me with a smile on her pixy face, and squeezed me tight.

"Thank you for having fabulous sex last night!" she chimed at an almost inaudible speed. And then she jumped into Jasper's arms and trailed kissed down his neck as he took her away.
