Chapter 45

The next morning I woke early and Edward tried to pull me in closer as I tried to get out of his grip. "Edward, bathroom."

"Okay, then come back."

When I returned, he pulled me back into his arms and asked, "How did you sleep?"

"Alright, nothing great."

"I know; you were very restless. I had to hold you tightly to convince you I was really here."

"Edward, it'll get better right?"

"Yes, Beautiful. Of course, it will. Once you get back into a rhythm and a routine and we all feel safe."

I got up and put on a dress and sandals. This time both of my holsters were slipped under my dress. Jacob and Sam said, "Are you guys ready?"

"Yes." We went to the dining room and sat down to breakfast.

When I was served another giant plate of food, I leaned over to Edward and said, "We're hitting the gym before lunch and that time will always be built into my schedule. Then my voice dropped to a whisper and said, "Does this mean you'll always be my spotter now?"

He whispered back, "Yes."

Alice came in with Jasper right behind her and said, "They're whispering; it's so cute." Rosalie and Emmett came in together next. I asked them all how they slept.

"Good," they said and then they enjoyed their breakfast.

"Alice and Rose, how do you eat like this all the time and stay as skinny as you both are?"

"Working out," said Alice.

Rose said, "Sex."

And all the guys choked and I just looked at her. "Bella, I work out too and we don't normally eat like this all the time."

"Emmett, are you okay? You look a little flushed over there! I have never seen you so red."

"I'm fine, your highness."

Carlisle came in with a smile.

"Yes, Carlisle," I said.

"Esme, can be here tomorrow. We have her clearance and she is coming on an F16 thanks to the President."

"Can I call and tell her?"

"Of course, you can. I'm having a computer set up in your sitting room as we speak." I went to get up and Edward said, "Your highness, what do you need?"

"More coffee, but,"

"It's okay. I was going to get myself some, as well."

"Thank you, Edward."

As he got up, he met Carlisle at the coffee pot. There were words spoken; but all I could hear was mumbling. Edward came back and handed me a new cup.

"Alice, did you like your roommate last night?"

"Yes. I hear you helped Jasper win 100 bucks from Emmett, when you saved his ass on the river."

"Yes, I did. Rose, how was your roommate?"

"Great."

"Did you two get any sleep?"

"Yes, smart ass."

"Sorry, Rose, I just was wondering if you stayed up all night talking."

"No. And, yes, Emmett admitted you have dropped his ass using your karate on him though I hadn't heard about saving his ass on the river."

Jake just started laughing. I looked up at him and then he saw my face and said, "Yes, your highness."

"Jake, I wouldn't laugh too much; someone had to turn a title over to me and be a slave for his wife. Oh yeah, I think I pulled your ass out of the same river."

Emmett started laughing again at that one.

"Alright," Carlisle said, "Your highness, how about we head to your sitting room so that we can come up with a plan for the next couple days then my wife can help you?"

The three girls linked arms and tried to lead the way; however, a few of our guards ran blockers.

In my suite, I went running to the computer. First, I found a web link that had run through the press to send to everyone. "Rose, my tiara is on my dressing stand, will you get it for me?"

She and Emmett went and got it. I then noticed how close Alice and Jasper's hands were. Who would have known? When they came back, Rose had the tiara and said, "May I?"

"Of course," and she helped me slide it on. We started up the Skype phone call. Esme answered and she said, "Bella."

"Hi, Esme."

"Bella, is everything okay?"

"Of course."

"Bella, why is there a tiara on your head?"

"Well, what would you do if I told you I was really Isabella Cisne, Queen of Isla Crepusculo Luna?

"Oh my god."

"Esme, there is so much more to the story, but your husband has volunteered your planning and organizational skills. He also says you can help protect me."

"I can; I love doing all of those things."

"However, I think he also is going to miss you and used it as an excuse to get you here. There is one thing; I'm jealous of you for Esme."

"What's that?"

"You get to fly here on an F16 because the President deemed me that important."

"Bella, I'll be there as soon as I can; but what am I going to help you with?"

"Organizing a country. Have you ever done anything like that?"

"No, but I think we can figure it out together."

"Okay, but will you help one other person run my country too?"

"Sure, I'll help you and whoever you want me to help."

"Esme, will you help King Edward run my country as well as plan our wedding?"

There were squeals, high fives and oh yeahs shared all the way around the room.

Finally, Esme said, "I can hardly wait to get started."

Carlisle leaned in and said, "Check your secure email for the file and the details you need. See you soon."

"Alice, can you arrange a room for Esme and Carlisle?"

"Of course. But can we talk about the wedding?"

"No, we cannot. Now everyone settle down. I have a three way call I need to make. These ladies will not be hearing about the wedding yet."

I soon had Emily and Angela on the phone and said, "Good evening, Angela and Emily."

"Hello, Bella, is that you?"

"Yes, it is and your wonderful husbands got me home safe and sound. Again, thank you for lending them to me. I just sent you two an email with a web link in it. Please check it out."

"Sure hold on."

"Oh my god," we heard and then we heard, "No way."

"Bella, is that really you?"

"Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you."

"I can't believe you went camping," Emily said.

"I love camping and once it's safe for me, I'm going to explore all the islands and find my new favorite places to camp. I'll find a beach with rock walls and invite Emily and Sam along and you and Jake. I'll race your husband."

"That would be really cool."

"Unfortunately, ladies, I need to do some work and I'll talk to you later. You now have my email address here. Please use it."

"We will Bella, we promise. Stay safe."

As soon as I hung up, Alice said, "Please tell me I can start looking for a wedding dress for you."

"Yes, Alice."

Rose then said, "Edward, you'll take care of my baby sister correct. I know that the two of you are doing this because of Parliament, but please take good care of her." When she was done with her little speech, she hugged Edward.

"Rose, of course, I will. I'll take care of her as any wife should be taken care of," Edward said as they each pulled back from the hug

I looked at Carlisle and said, "What is on the list of other requests for the day?"

"We would like to sit down with each Member of Parliament individually and see what they have to say about the country."

"Okay, how about we meet in here? We know this room is not bugged and we can record all the conversations. I would like Alice and Rose to stay because they know a lot of what has happened here in the last six years."

"That's a great idea. I'll start scheduling the meetings."

"Carlisle, keep our time clear from 11am to 1pm, I need to hit the gym because I won't gain weight and I want to fit into my wedding dress. I'll allow one of the meetings to be at dinner time. Please have the dining room checked and if it's clean, we'll have dinner in there. See if Paul, his wife and two daughters would like to join us."

Rose said, "They have a son, now too."

"Perfect."

"Alright," Carlisle said. "I'll get on it."

Rose got out a note book came and sat by me and we started making notes for the wedding. At 10:30, I said, "I'm going to the gym; who's going."

Alice and Rose said, "I'll see you there."

I went to my closet and changed into my yoga shorts and a sports bra plus my sneakers.

When I came out, I slipped my hair into a ponytail.

Edward came out in running sports and a t-shirt. "Bella," he said with a groan.

"What's wrong?"

"What are you wearing?"

"What's wrong with it? I told you I was so excited to get to wear shorts and not have my legs covered all the time."

"Bella, but from here to your ankles," and he touched my legs just above mid thigh.

"Yes,"

"Where are you going to keep your guns?"

"Simple," I pulled out a fanny pack and put both of them in there.

Edward said, "Come along let's go work out."

EPOV

We were met in the gym. Emmett, Jasper and I said, "Oh boy, we are in trouble. These three women are going to kill us." I could feel a cold shower coming on. Bella started on a treadmill. After 20 minutes, she went to the stair climber. Oh god, she is killing me. I went to a far corner to work out with weights; so I didn't have to see her ass.

The next thing I knew, I felt arms wrap around me and a voice whisper into my ear, "Will you spot me?" and I could instantly feel my manhood coming alive.

"Of course." So we started with the weights and thirty minutes later, "Ladies, you're about to learn about an American custom, you have thirty minutes to shower, change and meet me in the dining room for lunch knowing that we have meetings starting at one."

"Bella, you're evil," and they each grabbed their guard and left with them in tow.

They showed up at 12:35. Edward and I were already eating. I quietly looked up and surveyed the four of them and then said to Jasper and Emmett, "Both of my sisters seem very flushed, should I ask your intentions or what you have been doing to my sisters?"

Edward just started laughing. Alice and Rose got even more flushed. "Are you two okay? Do I need to get you two something cold to drink?"

Rose finally said, "America has lightened you up some, sis and you know we always need a minimum of an hour to get ready for anything."

"Really, Rose, that's not what you said about sex last night was it Alice."

Then Alice lost it. Jasper said, "This country is in so much trouble and so is Edward. Emmett, you really have rubbed off on Bella."

So twenty five minutes later, we were sitting in my living room suite when Riley came in and bowed to the three of us and sat down in the seat offered to him. We just talked and I listened to him about my country and what he thought it would take to fix the country.

We spent until 5:30 talking to members of Parliament and then we went to dinner in the dining room. I had asked for kid friendly food. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, a special sauce from my country, carrots and I was having a special dessert made. Two were being left in my suite for later. We didn't finish dinner until 8 pm and that was because the kids were getting bored. I walked the two girls out hand and hand. I told them I would see them soon. We went back to our own rooms. I laid down on the bed and moaned about my muscles and soon Edward was rubbing my back for me."

After 30 minutes, I said, "Thanks, Edward. I have a reward for you," and I told him to lay down and close his eyes. He did though reluctantly. Then I offered him a bite of the brownie. "Oh god," he moaned.

He soon finished his and then he said, "Is there a second one?"

"Yes, why?"

He trapped me and said, "Now, it's my turn." He had me pinned up by my chest and slowly broke off little pieces and started feeding it to me. Once it was gone, Edward excused himself.

"I'm sorry," I said as he left.

"No, you aren't. Plus you have offered yourself up to me and I turn you down, remember."

I then said, "Please tell me, you won't turn me down on our wedding night."

Edward poked his head out of the bathroom and said, "No, I won't. I'll happily take you to bed and keep you there naked that night."
