Epilogue
I stood at the window and looked out at the scenery before me. The forest was thick as it surrounded the little cottage, the flowing water of a lake near-by could be heard. The snow covered the ground and trees making the forest a white wonderland. We were somewhere in England and Edward wouldn't tell me exactly where we were. I had tried to figure it out, but I failed miserably. Edward knew that I hated surprises and yet he pulled a surprise for our honeymoon. That's right, I'm on my honeymoon with the most amazing man ever! Edward and I have been together for two years and now we were married.
"Bella?" I heard Edward call from the bedroom.
"In here." I called back in at a normal tone.
"Come here." Edward called. I sighed and walked away from the window towards the bedroom where Edward was waiting. Edward stood in the middle of the bedroom and a smile spread across his face when I entered the room. He opened his arms, beckoning for me to come to him. I gladly walked into his arms and wrapped mine around his waist. I rested my head on his chest as Edward rubbed his hands up and down my back.
"How do you like it?" Edward whispered softly.
"It's beautiful." I replied truthfully. The cottage was one story and absolutely lovely. It wasn't super fancy; it was just a nice ordinary cottage in the middle of the forest. Esme had bought it as a wedding present for Edward and I, which means that Esme decorated it to suit Edward's and my style. Thankfully she hadn't put in a kitchen, as it wasn't needed, but she had made sure that the walk in wardrobe was big enough for Alice's present. Alice's present to us was a whole new wardrobe for Edward and I.
"It's just for us, when we don't want to be around the family, want our own time or even don't want to be around humans." Edward explained quietly.
"Hmm…that sounds nice." I murmured as I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of Edward's breath come and go. We stood in silence for some time.
"Do you miss your past life?" Edward asked suddenly.
"Not really."
"Why not?"
"Because I had to move around a lot and couldn't really settle into a place to call it home," I pulled back and looked up at Edward, "not like I can now." I finished in a whisper. Edward brushed some hair out of my eyes before tucking my hair behind my ear. Edward bent down and kissed me gently. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. Edward started leading me towards the bed.

I lay in the bed curled up on my side as the sun seeped in through the window. Edward's arms snaked around my waist and brought me close to his chest. He pressed his lips to my bare shoulder.
"Morning beautiful," he whispered against my skin. I turned in his arms so I could see his face.
"Morning to you too," I smiled at him as I brushed his hair out of his eyes. The sun glittered against Edward's and my skin sending many rays through the bedroom.
"You look beautiful in the sun." Edward spoke as he buried his face in the crook of my neck.
"You think I look beautiful all the time." I pointed out. Edward sighed and pulled back to look at me.
"But I've never seen you in the sun have I?" I shrugged. "So I can say that you look beautiful in the sun." I rolled my eyes and was about to retort but my lips were suddenly busy. I pulled away and Edward growled. He tried to catch my lips once more but I kept dodging him.
"Edward, stop!" I pushed him away and rolled onto my back. Edward positioned himself on one elbow and looked down at me.
"Why?" He whined like a child. Pouting at me.
"How long are we staying here?" I enquired.
"A while." I raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Or did you just decide that?" I asked him. Edward smirked. I thought he was going to answer, but I was wrong as he bent down and kissed me passionately once again. After a few minutes of kissing, I pulled away and gasped for unnecessary breath as my phone started ringing. Edward growled, clearly annoyed that it had interrupted.
Come save me from walking off a windowsill or I'll sleep in the rain.
Don't you remember when I was a bird and you were a map?
Now he drags down miles in America briefcase in hand.
The stove is creeping up his spine again, can't get enough trash.
He took the days for pageant
Became as mad as rabbits
With bushels of bad habits
Who could ask for anymore?
Who could have more?
His arms were the branches of a Christmas tree
preached the devil in the belfry.
He checked in to learn his clothes had been thieved at the train station.
Rope hung his other branch and at the end was a dog called Bambi
Who was chewing on his parliaments when he tried to save the calendar business.
He tried to save the calendar business.
"Can't they leave us alone?" Edward groaned before burying his face in the side of my neck as he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. I reached over to the bedside table and grabbed my phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Bella!" My mom's happy voice sang from the other side.
"Hi mom." I sighed. Edward growled softly. I hit his arm with my free hand.
"What's wrong? You don't sound happy to hear me." Mom stated.
"I'm on my honeymoon, mom." I stated in a dead tone.
"Renée! What are you doing?!" I heard Alice's panicked voice faintly.
"I'm calling my daughter?"
"NO!!! She's on her honeymoon!!! You can't call her!!!!" Alice screamed.
"But…Alice!!!" Mom's voice became distant.
"Sorry about this Bella. Why don't you and Edward turn off your phones?" Alice suggested.
"No problem Alice. Bye!"
"Bye!! Enjoy!!!" She replied before she hung up. I quickly turned off my phone and looked at Edward, who still had his head buried in the side of my neck.
"Edward…" I whispered softly.
"Is she gone?" He asked. I laughed.
"Yes. I turned off my phone. She can't bother us now. Why don't you turn off yours?" Edward shook his head. His hair tickled my neck as he shook his head.
"Don't want to move." He tightened his grip on my waist. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

After two weeks of being here I wondered when we were going to go back to the family. I listened to Edward's breath come and go as I laid my head on his chest. Edward ran a finger up and down my spine, slowly.
"Edward?"
"Mmm?" I looked up at his face and saw his eyes closed and a small smile on his lips.
"When are we going back to our family?" His smile became wider as I said 'our' instead of 'your'.
"Not now. If we do…your mother will attack us." I laughed at that. Edward's eyes opened instantly at my laughing. "What? I'm being serious!"
"I know, Edward. Don't worry about it," I assured him, "it actually sounds like a great idea. Staying away for a while."
Edward and I had dated for a year before he proposed and we got married. Alice went crazy with the wedding details and I had very little time to see him and so we had decided that we would spend a long time of just being us before we returned to our family.
THE END
A/N: Sorry it's a bit OOC and stuff...it's a sucky honeymoon but I couldn't think of anything else. Hope you enjyoed the overall story.
