Chapter Four
Honeymoon
Bella and Edward had been enjoying their honeymoon for the past two weeks, after hiding their destination from her for months. When she found out the island they had been staying on belonged to Esme it made the destination all that more special to her. With the added addition of blood to her diet the morning sickness had gone from persistent to manageable. By the start of their third week, Bella was so relaxed she was reluctant to return to Forks when they had arranged to, stepping out onto the sand she made her way over to her husband wrapping her arms around his neck kissing his shoulder gently.
"Do we have to go home next week?"
"If we want to get to college on time we do. Why do you ask?"
"Jake and Seth are on our side but we don't know how the pack will react, they'll obey Jake but some of them have tempers. Part of me doesn't want to leave Forks even though I know it's time."
"Maybe there's a way, we were accepted to every college we applied for, I know keeping in touch with Charlie is important to you, I'll talk to Carlisle about staying close to home, we can attend college in Seattle. It's close enough to Charlie and further away that people won't get suspicious."
"Do you think Carlisle will agree, I know Rose hates moving."
"Rose always complains about moving but this time we're not moving far."
"With Jacob on our side we shouldn't have any difficulty returning for visits, though there are a few of the wolves who have tempers."
"They're just going to have to deal with it. Now sit down and eat your breakfast."
"I love you Mr Cullen."
"I love you Mrs Cullen."
As Bella ate she watched her husband begin to take towels and the books they'd brought to read in the sun outside, she knew Edward would rather be exploring the island three was plenty of time to return some time in the future. Resting her hand over her baby bump she made her way outside curling up on the towel next to her husband laying he head in his lap as she began to read. She was going to miss the island, though despite herself she was happy to be going to college, something if you'd asked her a month ago she'd still be fighting.

August 29th 2006
As their honeymoon came to an end Bella looked around the house realising just how much she would miss it being just the two of them, though she loved her brothers and sisters she had never been there longer than a night before. Edward has just loaded the last few cases into the car when he heard his phone ring. Pulling out his cell he frowned noticing Jacob's number, he'd promises not to disturb them unless it was important, pulling Bella into his arms holding her close as he answered the call.
"What's wrong?"
"I went home the other day to change clothes before heading back to the house, Sam cornered me and found out about the baby. It's not something I can control its part of the pack link, he wants to see you and Bells."
"We're on our way home now, we should be there some time tomorrow if not sooner. I take it this is about the baby and whether she's a danger?"
"Once he sees he will calm down. He needs to remember he's not alpha anymore."
"We will see you soon."
"Bye Edward."
"Bye Jacob."

Once Edward hung up, it didn't take long for Bella to grab the cell from him, she may not have the vampire hearing yet but she could tell what the conversation was about simply by his response, Sam was going to be in for a surprise if he thought he could demand things of his wife. Sliding his hand up her shirt he began to rub her bump gently (knowing from experience it helped calm his wife) his thoughts were broken by Bella talking fiercely to the former alpha wolf.
"What right do you have demanding we return home. You seem to be forgetting your not alpha anymore."
"The pack have a right to know if that baby is dangerous."
"You said the word Sam, baby. Im three and a half months pregnant, I look three and a half months pregnant. Maybe once you see me you'll get over yourselves and treat the Cullens like they deserve, like Jacob and Seth have done. You're forgetting I'm a Cullen now, stop trying to get one over on us."
"Bella, you're still part of the pack, even if you did marry a bloodsucker."
"Don't go there, Sam. You're not so innocent yourself when it comes to who you marry. We will meet you at Billy's but I'm not letting you at the house. Rosalie would have my head, think about what I've said because it's the only time I'll offer my friendship, keep Leah on a leash."
"You can enter the land, as part of the new treaty Jacob wrote for you to sign it states that. I don't want to be mean Bella but this is unheard of."
"I understand Sam but that doesn't mean I have to like it. The only one who should be upset over the baby isn't. We should be home soon."
"Bye Bella."
"Bye Sam say hi to Emily for me."
"Will do."
Bella hung up the phone handing it back to Edward, almost laughing at the look on his face. It appeared her husband had just realised it wasn't just vampires who could scare a wolf. Leaning into his touch she calmed down instantly, preparing herself for the long journey back to the main island, though her morning sickness had gotten better, today was one of those days when it wouldn't ease off. Just as Edward was about to lock up she felt her stomach churn rushing past him back into the house managing to make it into the bathroom before she lost the battle with the nausea leaning over the toilet basin throwing up heavily. Before she could pull herself up into a sitting position she felt cool hands around her waist.
"Do we have anymore blood left?"
"I believe there is one more left over from yesterday."
"I'll feel better after I've drunk some. Once we get home though I want you to catch me a mountain lion and bring back the blood."
"Your wish, my command."
Once she was sure she wouldn't get sick again Bella stood up slowly rinsing her mouth out before making her way back into the main living room taking the thermos of blood gratefully taking a long gulp as they let the house again. As Edward locked up Bella reluctantly stepped into the boat, despite the insistence from the wolves to come back she was looking forward to being in her own bed. The next chapter of their lives was only just beginning.
