Okay, so I am yet again a complete and total fail for not answering every review that came my way. I want you to know that I do read each and every one of them but life has just kept me busier than I would like lately. I'm lucky I've even found time to write. In any case, here is your next chapter. I've had this one in my head for a while but still found it somewhat difficult to write. The next one will hopefully be a bit easier. I've gotten some great advice and some wonderful ideas from my friend Joy's of Twilight and I will be forever grateful to her for having a mind that works a lot like mine!
So here goes. Enjoy and I'll see you at the end. By the way, I don't know if you'll need a tissue but I did!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters. That joy goes completely to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer. I do however own like 300 pictures of CAVO, Lifehouse and Daughtry from my concert! It was FREAKING AWESOME by the way! Hands down, by far, THE BEST CONCERT I've ever been to!

We had reached Hawaii pretty late. Or at least I thought it was. Apparently it is 3 hours earlier in Honolulu than it is in Seattle. Then it was a 5 hour flight. We left Seattle at six o'clock in the evening. So if my internal calculator is working that would make it roughly 8 pm. I think! God this is confusing especially with pregnancy brain. Either way, I was beat! Between the flight, the time change and the sex on the plane I was completely bushed. The problem with this was that I really wanted to look around. I mean how often do you find yourself in paradise?
We exited the plane and were greeted by some locals that were placing leis around our necks and kissing our cheeks.
"Aloha." One of the beautiful girls in a hula skirt said to me. Then I looked over to Edward who was smiling like the cat that ate the canary. He had been doing that ever since our little sexcapade in the bathroom. I watched as the same beautiful woman placed the lei around Edward's neck and as she leaned in to kiss his cheek he leaned back and held out his hand. Yep, my man was smart! I knew the kiss meant nothing but still, he's mine!
Edward walked up beside me. "How are you doing sweetheart?"
"Good. I'm tired but I'm also hungry and I want to see everything and I wish I would have slept more on the plane." I said in a huff.
"You know that was entirely your fault. If you hadn't seduced me and talked me into going into the bathroom with you, you probably could have gotten more sleep." He whispered into my ear and my mouth dropped open.
I looked up at him in shock and he smiled at me. "I'm kidding my love. It was well worth every minute." He leaned down and kissed my lips. "Why don't we head to the hotel and order some room service. We can eat out on the balcony so you can see the beach and then we can head to bed. In all honesty, I'm pretty tired too."
I brought my arms up to the back of his neck and clasped my hands together. "That, my almost husband, sounds like a wonderful idea."
After everyone else had gotten off the plane and received their Hawaiian welcome we headed into the airport to retrieve our luggage. Alice had my wedding dress which I didn't think she had let out of her sight since we had picked it up from the dress shop. Then we all made our way to the entrance of the airport. When we got there I saw one of the biggest limousines that I have ever seen and someone holding a sign that said 'CULLEN Family' on it.
"Is that a Hummer?" I asked Edward.
Before Edward could answer me Emmett spoke up. "It sure is Bella Boo. Rosalie and I arranged for it to pick us up. We'll get our rental cars later on tomorrow but we figured that everyone would be pretty tired tonight so why not have someone drive us to the hotel." He smiled at me with his dimples.
I reached over and hugged Emmett. "Thank you Emmy."
He smiled at me and nodded. Then I looked over to Rosalie and she smiled too. I mouthed a thank you in her direction also.
"Just make sure to keep your hands to yourself this time. This thing doesn't have a bathroom." Emmett whispered to me and I turned fifty shades of red. Holy shit he knew about the plane. I couldn't speak. I just stood there and Edward was staring at Emmett.
"What bro?" Emmett asked him. This earned him a smack from Rosalie and then she pushed him towards the limo.
I looked at Edward and I was mortified. "He knows?" I asked him.
Edward nodded his head slightly and frowned. "I'm sorry baby. He saw us after we left the bathroom. Don't worry, if he values his manhood he won't say anything to anyone except us." Edward tried to give me a reassuring smile.
"You mean you'd castrate him if he told anyone?" I asked.
"No. I mean Rosalie will hang his balls from the rearview mirror of her Mustang if he so much as makes a snide comment about it around anyone else."
"Oh." Was all I could say. I knew I loved Rosalie.
We got in the limo then and made our way to the Sheraton Hotel and Resort in Waikiki. We pulled up and I could smell the ocean air as soon as we stepped out of the car. The hotel was breathtaking to look at. As I looked around I saw palm trees and hibiscus bushes with beautiful red flowers. We made our way inside the hotel and spoke to the receptionist.
"Aloha. Welcome to the Sheraton Waikiki. How may I help you?" The older woman asked.
"Aloha." I said in return trying out the cultural greeting. "We have reservations under the name Cullen." I told her.
"Oh yes. 5 rooms and one honeymoon suite. We've been expecting you all. How was your flight?" She asked.
"Good but long. I'm still trying to figure out what time it is." I laughed.
"It's about 9 o'clock right now." She said. I was happy that my mind still seemed to be working.
She typed some more information into her computer and then handed us our keys so that we could make our way up to our rooms.
"So, how about everyone does their own thing for tonight and we'll all meet up in the morning at 9 am for breakfast." Alice smiled at everyone.
We all agreed and then Edward and I made our way up to our room after saying goodnight to everyone.
We got to the 16th floor of the hotel and walked to our room. Edward was carrying all of our bags and wouldn't let me help him with any of them. I slid the card through the lock on the door and waited for it to unlock. As soon as it did I opened the door and held it for Edward to carry our bags through. As soon as he had walked through I closed the door and locked it and then turned around to take in my surroundings.
"Holy Shit!" I all but screamed. I looked around and saw the most romantic and beautiful room I could ever imagine. There was a small living room with a plush sofa that faced a fireplace. I couldn't imagine ever needing a fireplace in Hawaii but it would be romantic to curl up with Edward in front of it. Then I looked to the side and saw the floor to ceiling windows that ran the length of the room and overlooked the Pacific Ocean. I walked over and placed my hand against the glass as I looked out. The sky had darkened and I could see the lights from the tiki torches that lit up the beach. The beach was almost deserted at this time of night and I could see the waves crashing into the shore.
I stood there mesmerized by the water when I felt Edward's arms circle around me and envelop me in a hug. I brought my hands down to cover his as he kissed the side of my neck.
"Mmmm. That feels really nice." I told him.
"What do you think of the room?" He asked.
"It's absolutely beautiful and I've only seen the one room so far." I giggled.
"Well I know of one absolutely beautiful thing here and although it's really nice, it's definitely not the room that I'm thinking about."
I smiled and blushed. It amazed me that he still had this effect on me.
"You are quite the charmer, aren't you Dr. Cullen?" I smiled. I continued to look out the window, trying to take in everything I could through my sleepy eyes. Then I made the mistake of yawning.
"Would you like to head to bed honey or are you hungry?" he asked.
"How terrible would it be for me to say that I want to go to bed?" I asked while turning around in his arms and laying my head against his chest. "I'm just so tired but I don't want to miss out on anything so if you want to do something I can stay up….." I tried to continue but suddenly found that my mouth was quite busy with Edward's.
He kissed me until I was speechless. "Now if you're done. I would like nothing better than to head to bed with you. Are you sure you aren't hungry though?"
I shook my head. "No I think I'm too tired to eat." I smiled up at him. Then suddenly my feet were no longer on the floor. Edward had me cradled in his arms and against his chest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned into him as he carried me into the bedroom.
He walked me into the dark room and over to what looked like a giant bed with a canopy hanging over top of it and set me down on the edge of the bed. Then he leaned over and turned on the lamp on the side table.
"I'm going to go get our bags and bring them in here so we can get ready for bed." he told me. I nodded in appreciation and watched as he walked into the other room.
I started to look around in the dim light and saw that I was sitting on a beautiful bed that had to be a king size with soft white linens covering it. I pulled back the plush comforter and saw the white satin sheets underneath. They already felt like heaven and I hadn't even slipped inside of them yet. Edward entered back into the bedroom and placed our luggage by the dressers.
"How about we save the unpacking for tomorrow and just get a good nights rest?" he asked me.
"That sounds perfect." I told him.
"Let me find out where our pajamas are and then….." he started to say but I stopped him with a shake of my head.
"I don't think we'll need them tonight." I said as I stood and started to undress myself. Not only did I want to feel the silky softness of those sheets against my naked body, but I also wanted to feel Edward in all of his nakedness pressed up against me.
He smiled his crooked little grin and walked over to his side of the bed and started to undress also. Before long we were both naked and sliding into the sheets.
"Wow these feel heavenly." I purred.
"They do, but nothing can compare to how your body feels next to mine." Edward whispered into my ear.
He slowly brought his lips to mine and kissed me. This kiss wasn't hurried and frenzied like our kisses in the airplane bathroom. These were slow and sensual and conveyed so much passion in them. His hands were soft and slowly traced over the lines of my body. It was like he was worshipping every last inch of me. He came to my stomach and drew little circles around it before he inched his way up to my breasts. I could feel myself giving in to each of his touches and my body was reacting as it always does when Edward is touching me. I could feel the heat from my core seeping out and begging for attention.
Edward continued his kisses and would break them for a short time to kiss my neck or that wonderful spot right behind my ears. I was trying not to moan out loud each time he did it but I was starting to unravel. Edward was now kissing my neck and rolling the nipple of my right breast in between his soft fingers and I could feel the coil in my stomach starting to build.
"Oh God, Edward." I moaned out.
He brought his lips back to mine and kissed me softly again.
"Tonight my Bella is all about you. I want to worship every inch of you and thank you for choosing me. I still can't believe that you have. And in 3 days time you will be my wife." He kissed me once more and then started to move his body down mine kissing everywhere as he went.
EPOV
I was determined to show Bella how much I loved her tonight. I knew she was tired but once she decided that she didn't want to wear anything to bed, I had a feeling she was looking for a little pampering. And boy did I intend to pamper her. I wanted to make her feel good from the top of her head to the bottom of her beautiful little feet. I kissed my way down her body starting at her neck and lips and then working my way down. I of course stopped for a little while to pay special attention to specific areas of her body that I knew she would appreciate.
I spent quite a while sucking and licking at her beautiful breasts. Her nipples were perfect and they just begged to be kissed. I could tell that this was really affecting her too. She started to moan louder and wiggle beneath me. She wanted friction and I wasn't ready to give her that yet. I wanted to get her worked up into a frenzy and make sure that she had one of the best orgasms of her life. I kissed her breasts and nipples for a little while longer and then moved on down to her stomach and then down to her hips. She was really squirming now and I wanted to laugh at her. She had fisted her hands into my hair and I could feel her trying to guide me to where she wanted me most. Of course I skipped past that place for now and continued my exploration of her body. She whimpered loudly and it nearly crumbled my resolve. I kissed down her right thigh and made my way down to her right foot. I stopped kissing for a moment and took that time to massage her right foot and then her left. After I was finished I started kissing my way back up her left leg. When I got back up to her left hip I sucked gently on the skin there and I looked up to see Bella's eyes practically rolling into the back of her head. I decided not to tease her any longer and then I moved over to her hot core and slid my tongue in between her lips. I could smell her arousal and it made me want to cum right there against those satin sheets. I continued my assault on her nub and I could feel her juices coming out of her. I licked up as much as I could because there was no way in hell I wanted any of that to go to waste. I wrapped my arms around Bella's thighs and used my hands to spread her apart further. I pushed my tongue inside of her and she nearly jumped off the bed.
"Ugghhh, Ahhhh, Ughhhhhh….. Oh God….Edward…" She was screaming.
I continued to thrust my tongue into her and had to hold on for dear life when she nearly bucked me off of her with all the squirming. When she finally came down from her fist orgasm I slipped my tongue out of her and licked my lips. God she tasted wonderful.
"You okay baby?" I asked her.
Bella just laid there and tried to control her breathing. I chuckled and urged her to roll over and lay on her stomach. I wanted to give her a back rub after that long flight. I climbed up behind her and straddled her legs and perky little ass. I started to rub my hands up and down her back and paid special attention to her lower back and her shoulders.
"Mmmm…. God Edward that feels so good." She moaned out.
"Baby, I don't know if you realize what that moaning is doing to me." I told her.
She giggled. "I have a pretty good idea."
I guess she could feel the affect she was having on me as my very prominent erection was poking into her rear end as we speak. I kept up rubbing her back and she kept moaning. I think she was doing it just to torture me. Then she started to grind her ass against me. '
"Okay, that's it." I said slipping off of her. I could hear her laughing now. "Oh you think that's funny do you?" I slid her legs apart and then grabbed her hips and pulled them up to me. I reached around and could feel how wet she still was and then I grabbed hold of my cock and slid it into her. I pumped in and out of her at a slow and torturous rate. I meant it to be torturous for her but it was just as bad on me. I was moving too slowly and it was killing me cause I wanted a release so badly. Suddenly Bella said what I was dying to hear.
"Faster… oh god….. Please Edward… Faster….!"
Faster it is then. I pounded into her from behind. I could feel her clenching around me and screaming out. It's probably a good thing her father's room wasn't anywhere near ours.
Bella was riding out her orgasm as I finally spilled myself into her. We collapsed against each other in a sweaty mess on the bed. I wrapped my arms around her from behind and nuzzled into the crook of her neck.
"I love you Bella."
"I love you too Edward."
And then we fell asleep.
I must have been asleep for at least a couple of hours when I heard a gentle knocking on the door. I looked over to Bella and she was still sound asleep. I slid out from under her arm that was wrapped around my stomach and grabbed my jeans that I had been wearing when we arrived. I looked back at Bella and she was sound asleep. She looked absolutely beautiful. I was pulled out of my silent adoration by the knocking again.
I walked over to the door and looked out the peep hole and was startled to see Charlie standing there. I unlocked the door and opened it.
"Hey Charlie. Is everything okay?" I asked him in between yawns.
"Yeah, sorry kid. I didn't mean to wake you up but I wanted to talk to you before things really started getting busy." Charlie said to me.
I moved to the side and gestured for him to come in. I walked back over to the bedroom and saw that Bella was still asleep so I closed the door so we wouldn't wake her up. I'm sure the last thing she would want would be for her dad to see her naked. Charlie was already sitting on the couch so I decided to join him.
"What's up Charlie?"
"Well, I know this is going to sound really weird but I have a letter for you." He told me as he held out an envelope for me to take.
I must have looked confused.
"Who's it from?" I asked.
Charlie scratched his head and then looked me in the eye. "Well actually it's from Bella's mother?"
I think my chin must have hit the ground. "Ummm…. What?" I asked in confusion.
"Bella's mother wrote this letter before she passed away and asked that I give it to her future husband before she got married. I don't know what is says because she asked that I not open it."
Relief flooded through me. "Um, okay." I was a little worried to say the least that I was receiving a letter from someone that had passed away some time ago.
"I wanted to give it to you without everyone around so you could read it in peace. Not everyone would understand."
"Thank you Charlie." I told him.
"No problem Edward." He seemed to hesitate for a moment. "I um, I have a letter for Bella too but I will give it to her later. I have a feeling it will make her a little sentimental." He said.
I smiled at him knowing that it would. Not only because she was pregnant but because I knew she was missing her mom especially now.
"Thanks again Charlie. For everything." I told him.
Charlie stood up from the couch and smiled at me and then held his hand out for me to shake.
"I'm looking forward to you becoming part of the family officially Edward. I'll see you at breakfast." He said and then left me with the letter.
I sat there for a moment and then decided to go read the letter out on the small balcony. The sun was just starting to come up on the horizon and was giving the ocean a beautiful glow. I sat down in one of the chairs and looked at the envelope. It was a small white envelope with an elegant handwriting on the front that said 'To Isabella's Future Husband'. I opened it with a slightly shaky hand and stared at it.
To my Bella's Dearest Love,
I know this probably sounds strange coming from a woman who you've never met, but I want to thank you for making my Bella so happy. I know she must be happy because she wouldn't marry you otherwise. That plus I'm sure that Charlie would never let you marry his little girl unless you make her happy. So that in return gives me a good feeling even though I can't be there with you both on your special day.
I have pictured my daughter's wedding ever since the day she was born. As soon as the doctor said 'It's a girl'. I pictured her in her white dress and walking down the aisle on the arm of her dad. I could see the veil being lifted from her face and the smile that she would wear would be infectious and would make everyone else smile too. I can see her first dance with you and all of the love shared between you two.
This is where things probably get weird for you. Other than the fact that you're getting a letter from a dead woman. I have actually dreamt about your wedding. I want you to know that I have come to terms with the fact that I'm dying and have accepted this fact. I think someone wanted me to have this glimpse into my daughter's future and I am so happy that you two have chosen each other. The wedding will be beautiful as you watch your bride walk down the beach to meet you. She will look lovely and you won't be able to keep your eyes off of her. You will feel more love in your heart than you ever thought possible.
You two will dance with each other under the stars while everyone looks on and tears of joy are shed. I know that you will have a long and happy life together. I want to ask just one favor of you. Please be good to my little girl. I can't imagine that growing up with just Charlie has been easy on her. I'm sure he's taught her to be a good person. He's probably also taught her all about the Seahawks and the Mariners and how to tie a good fly for fishing. But she deserves to be treated as a woman and I'm sure you will be able to do that for her. Make sure to tell her everyday that you love her. God knows I wish I had told Charlie more. He knows that I love him but it's always nice to hear. Life is too short and I'm definitely one person that can vouch for that. Make sure you never go to bed angry and know that your wife is always right. (Just some friendly advice from your mother-in-law).
I know that your wedding day will be full of joy and so will your life from there on out. Remember to treasure every day with each other. I will be looking down from heaven on the two of you as you start your life together. I will be watching as all of my grandchildren are brought into this world and I will be the best guardian angel they could ask for. Know that I love you and Bella both and it makes my heart fill with joy to know that she has the love of a good man. Thank you Edward!
All my love,
Renee
I sat there rereading the last line of the letter. 'Thank you Edward'. She knew my name. She had a dream about this day before she passed away. Holy Shit. I sat there and brought my hand up to my face to wipe away the tears that had gathered in my eyes. I don't cry very often but this letter brought tears to my eyes. Bella's mother had written this letter before she died and then sealed it and asked Charlie to give it to Bella's future husband before they got married. She knew it would be me. My heart hurt for Bella knowing that her mom couldn't be here with her but at the same time I was looking forward to the future that we had together. I love her so much and now I couldn't wait for our wedding day to get here.
I walked back into the bedroom and placed the letter from her mother into my suitcase. I made a mental note to show it to Charlie if he would like to read it. I slipped off my pants and crawled back into bed with Bella's sleeping body. I embraced her tightly and she wrapper her arms back around me. I fell asleep shortly after that with thoughts of Bella in a white dress walking towards me.
The morning seemed to come sooner than I would have liked. Charlie had woken me up around 5 am to give me the letter from Renee and I was up until almost 6. The alarm was now blinking at me to let me know it was 8 o'clock. We had to get up and be showered and ready to go by 9 o'clock to meet everyone for breakfast.
I laid there for a few minutes closing my eyes once again when I felt the softest pair of lips on my forehead.
"Wake up sleepy head." She giggled at me.
"Ughh. Too early. Don't wanna get up." I mumbled throwing my arm over my eyes and trying to shield them from the Hawaiian sunshine that was now streaming through my windows.
"Gees, I know I kept you busy for a while last night but I didn't know I wore you out that much."
I wasn't sure if I should tell her about the early morning visit form Charlie or not yet so I just sighed and started to get out of bed.
"Well, you did give me quite the workout." I smiled at her.
She pushed me back down on the bed and kissed my lips. I wound my arms around her.
"How about I go take my shower and you can sleep for a few more minutes." She smiled at me.
"Mmmm that sounds perfect." I told her honestly.
She slipped out of bed after one more kiss and made her way into the bathroom to get ready to start her morning. I curled back up on my side and sleep soon found me again.
Unfortunately it was only for about 15 minutes before Bella made her way back out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and cheerily told me to get up and get ready. I groaned and got out of bed and made my way into the bathroom.
I took a quick shower and towel dried my hair before making my way back into the bedroom. Bella was already dressed in a cute little sundress and flip flops. Not the type of attire you can wear in Seattle usually. I smiled at how cute she looked. I went to my suitcase and grabbed a pair of khaki shorts and a black fitted t-shirt and my boxer briefs. I slipped on my sandals and we were ready to go. Bella had brushed her hair out and left it to air dry. I took her hand in mine.
"Ready love?" I asked her.
"Yep. I'm starving. This baby of yours sure does love to eat. If we're not careful I'll end up as big as a house." She said as we made our way to the hallway and down to the elevators.
"I'd love every square inch of you." I told her.
She swatted at my arm and then pressed the down button on the elevator. The doors chimed and we stepped into them and made our way down to our waiting family.
Alright, so tell me what you thought of it. Like it? Love it? Hate it? My reviews have dropped off tremendously and I'm not sure if you like it or if like me you don't have the time. Tell you what. If you promise to make the time to review, I will promise to make the time to reply! I really do appreciate every comment that comes my way! And thank you to those who have continued to support me! Without you guys I wouldn't have the desire to continue!
So, the letter from Renee was something that came up because of something in my own life and I just thought it would fit well. My mom passed away 9 years ago and my dad just found a notebook that she had started when she found out she was pregnant with me. It had been boxed up with many of her things that he hadn't had the heart to look at until now. Needless to say, there were many things written to me and she even continued it as I got older. Let's just say that I needed more than one box of Kleenex!
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I look forward to hearing from you!
