BPOV:

Our wedding was perfect. It was held under the moon on the church steps just outside of Forks. Coincidentally our man and wife kiss was just as the church bells rang midnight. I was so pleased with everything that Alice had done. Renée said that the midnight blue under a full moon was beautiful, especially next to my white gown. The reception was just pure torture although everything looked lovely. I just wanted to be left alone with my thoughts and Edward. Edward seemed to be feeling the same way and we were relieved when Alice said she could clean up. Edward and I bolted for Carlisle's Mercedes. We needed a dark car for where we were going and Edward didn't want to go human speed.

"Do you love me?"

I was so astonished that I had to look at him. He looked like he was debating how to word his next sentence.

"Of course I love you. I have married you, we are on our way to our honeymoon, and I am becoming a vampire so that we can be together forever. What else is a girl to do?"

"Nothing. It's just…"

"Just what? Did Alice see me leaving you because I don't remember making that decision?"

"Well… She saw something like that."

"WHAT!?"

"That is the same reaction I had when she told me."

"Told you what exactly?"

"Well her visions lately have been showing you with a certain burden for a distinct amount of time. This burden is definitely no joke and certainly nothing I can give you."

"Please stop talking in riddles. You are making my head spin."

"Okay, okay. Alice saw you with child."

"And you can't give me that "burden" because you aren't living."

"Exactly."

"Well what is going on with your eyes? I mean, you told me that human characteristics can't come back, yet the insides of your eyes are a beautiful shade of green. That isn't one of the normal vampire colors at least that I know of."

"Yes, I know. The other part of that same vision…"

"There's another part!" I interrupted.

"Hold on, hold on. Yes, but she saw these visions a month ago before my eyes changed and that was the other part. Alice saw my eyes change color and she thinks that they are connected because they were part of the same vision."

"Wow."

"My thoughts exactly."

"So where did Alice send us for our honeymoon?"

"Well don't get mad but camping."

"Camping? Where?" I wasn't mad, just surprised.

"South Manitou Island. It is in Lake Michigan and the water is clear as crystal. Not many people go there, but it is so beautiful, and a night swim would be great. We wouldn't even need to worry about sharks."

"Sounds great. Just the place to relax and enjoy each other with very little distractions."

"Yup. There isn't even cell phone service."

"Perfect. Now if we get stranded too bad for us."

Edward chuckled. "We are almost there but the ferry won't be in until noon so we can stop for a place to rest."

"Sounds good to me."

The hotel was perfect. We got the honeymoon suite and as soon as the door closed Edward had me in his arms. My head spun with the smell of his breath and his taste while he kissed me deeply. We moved to the enormous bed and collapsed in slow motion. I had a treat for him and had almost forgotten. I reluctantly pulled away and snatched up my bag on the way to the bathroom. I had gone shopping for something special but couldn't find anything that I thought he would like. As I shuffled through my memories I thought of something I could wear instead of one of those embarrassing little outfits. I made sure that I had packed my holey sweats that I had worn that first night that he had stayed and I threw myself at him. When I came out he was in the bed with at least no shirt on. The covers covered the rest so I couldn't see. As he looked at me I watched the memories in his eyes and his anticipation as I came nearer. Once I had reached the bed he pulled me to him and smothered me with kisses.

"I am happy with your choice of outfit for tonight. It says us better than anything else." he whispered into my hair.

I looked up into his eyes and saw a mischievous glint. The next thing I knew I was under the covers pressed against him. I shuddered with excitement and let him undress me. That night would change our lives dramatically but we were clueless.

I awoke to Edward humming my lullaby, the same way I had fallen asleep.

"The ferry leaves in an hour and we wouldn't want to miss it."

He was already dressed and was pulling some Pop Tarts from the cooler for me to eat. I quickly showered and dressed before eating because there weren't any utilities on the island. There was an outhouse for the restroom and the lake for the bath. It was an overcast day and for that we were thankful. We rode on the upper deck of the ferry for the two and a half hour trip. When we had reached the island, we had to all pack into a building with our bags while waiting for our camp assignments. They had many different camp sites and didn't want people fighting over them.

"We have a half hour hike to our campsite."

"It isn't uphill or anything so I can fall right?" That would so not be good.

"No, the island is pretty flat but some of the way is through sand. And don't worry about tripping much because there is so much poison ivy we will be staying on the trails."

We only had to carry one bag because Edward wouldn't need food or toiletries. He carried it the whole way for which I was grateful because I was tired after the hike. He had run ahead the last two minutes and set up camp so I could rest when I got there.

"Thank you. Camping with a vampire is fun; you don't have to do any work."

"Is that so?" Edward said with his crooked smile.

"Well, I had to walk but that isn't much." I tried to stifle a yawn unsuccessfully.

"For no work you sure are tired. Why don't you go take a nap."

I quickly obeyed and fell asleep after the first five notes of my lullaby.
