So, who's ready for Hawaii? I know I wished I could go there myself but I guess I will reserve that for the story and my dreams. Unfortunately this chapter would have been entirely too long with all of Hawaii included in it so we land in Hawaii at the end of this chapter but really delve into in the next chapter. Sorry!
There is a couple of pictures associated with this story, I will have the bold writing in the story and the link at the bottom! Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
Sorry for the multiple posts...after I posted the chapters I realized that the links at the bottom had disappeared or distoreted so I repaired them for those of you who like pictures to go with the stories!

EPOV
After I looked up the meaning and significance of the yellow hibiscus flower, it all made sense. We were going to Hawaii for spring break.
I quickly ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where the ladies and kids were putting together traditional Hawaiian shish kabobs. I went to Bella's side, quickly turned her around and wrapped my arms around her lifting her off the ground in my eagerness. "I take it you finally figured out where we're going?" She asked cockily.
I nodded. "We're going to Hawaii!" I told her and clamped my lips to hers as I spun her around, causing the girls and women to laugh at my exuberance.
Friday, March 16, 2012
We were about 30,000 feet above the land on our way to Las Vegas for our six hour layover. "Baby, come on. You know you wanna try it. How many opportunities are we gonna have?" I asked her quietly and she just giggled, shaking her head no.
"Please, Bella, I'm aching." I begged her and rearranged my pants. She just laughed and shook her head again. She had been teasing me since she had strolled in from school and began stripping her clothes off as she climbed the stairs. As we were standing in line at security, she had leaned back against me and rubbed her delicious ass against my jeans. Then when we had actually boarded the plane, she rubbed against me provocatively as she slid in front of me to get to her window seat.
I had been begging her to join the mile high club with me for the past 30 minutes but she wasn't having it.
"No, Edward. It's too crowded on this plane." She said as if that was a feasible excuse because we were in first class and there were maybe eight people including us up here and we were sitting in the very back.
"Bullshit baby, there are only eight people including us back here. I'll be quiet if you can." I told her as I ran my hand up her leg and pressed my hand right against her heated core and pressed my fingers into her causing her to gasp.
"Fine. You go and I will follow in a few minutes." She told me and I quickly kissed her as I hopped from my seat and practically sprinted the few steps to the bathroom that we were practically right against.
I propped up against the small vanity in there and waited on my amazing as hell girlfriend. When I had first suggested this I had thought that she would never give in to me, but she actually did and now I was itching in anticipation.
The door quickly opened and in slid Bella. She quickly latched the door and turned to face me. "We have to be quick, Edward." She told me breathlessly.
I leaned forward and kissed her passionately but she pulled away before I could get too carried away. "I don't want to walk out of here and it is obvious to everybody what went on in here." She told me quietly.
I nodded and turned her around so that she faced the mirror and I was standing behind her. "I think this will be the easiest, so that we don't have to get fully undressed." I told her against her neck as I tugged her shirt up and her leggings and panties down a little bit.
She nodded and pushed her hips back into mine. I groaned and quickly undone my belt and jeans, shoving them and my underwear down to my knees and entering her as soon as I was free. We both moaned loudly as Bella slapped her hands onto the counter and hung her head.
I buried my head between her shoulder blades as I quickly pushed and pulled from the tight confines of her body.
It didn't take long for her to be clamping around me. I gripped her hips tightly and thrust into her quickly. Two, three times. I buried my groan against her neck as she continued to shudder around me. "Oh God, baby, that was amazing." I told her as I pulled out of her and stumbled a little bit.
She looked at me over her shoulder grinning at me. "So worth all the teasing." She said as stood up and pushed the hair out of her eyes as I refastened my jeans. "Now, go back to our seats while I clean up." She told me with a quick kiss to my lips.
I nodded and slipped out the door and back to my seat unnoticed by anybody. Or so I thought. Bella slipped in beside me a few minutes later, looking as beautiful as ever, not like the sex ravaged vixen that she was.
She laid her head on my shoulder and began dozing off just as the flight attendant strolled down the aisle asking everybody if they wanted something to drink or snack. When she got to us she winked at me and smiled. "Something to drink or snack?"
I grinned and shook my head. "No, thank you. We're perfect." I told her as I wrapped my arm around Bella and tugged her further into my side and reclined our seats.
BPOV
I was jolted awake when the captain announced that we were about to prepare to land and that we needed to right our seats and fasten our seatbelts.
"Oh God, I'm exhausted already." I groaned as I stowed my bag underneath the seat in front of me and snapped my seatbelt back together, grabbing hold of Edward's hand.
"Do you feel up to exploring Vegas during our layover or do you wanna find a hotel to catch up on our sleep?" Edward asked as the plane tipped forward in descent into the Las Vegas Airport.
"Hell no, I can sleep anytime. I wanna explore. We gotta go see an Elvis wedding chapel and at least walk down the strip while we're here." I told Edward enthusiastically.
He groaned good-naturedly but nodded in acquiescence. We disembarked our plane into Las Vegas, Nevada.
We walked hand in hand down 'the strip' and admired the fountains and lights. We were currently standing in front of the impressive Bellagio fountains, watching the show. Edward was standing behind me as I stood against the railing with his arms around me and our hands resting side by side against the railing.

"It's beautiful, Edward." I commented as I leaned back into him and he leaned into me. There wasn't a millimeter of space between us, and we liked it that way. "I love you so much, Edward." I told him quietly.
"Mmm. I love you too, Baby, more than my own life." He whispered back against my neck as he placed a gentle kiss there.
"Does it get any better than this?" I asked him quietly.
"What do you mean Baby?"
"I mean, here we are, in love, on vacation, about to move in together, conquering our demons together, happy to be here. I am not afraid to conquer my demons with you by my side because I know that you understand and will know the perfect way to help me. I can't wait to make a lifetime of memories with you. Does it get any better than this?" I explained to him.
He just chuckled. "I don't know. Life seems pretty perfect at the moment, except for one thing." He paused dramatically. "Marry me? Tonight? Here?" He whispered quietly against my neck, so softly I almost didn't hear him.
I gasped when he didn't say anything else. I attempted to turn around but he pressed against me, preventing me from turning to face him. "Are you serious, Edward?" I asked him just as quietly as the water shot high in the air.
He nodded against my neck. He moved his hands off the railing for a few minutes, I could hear him rustling around with something but I couldn't tell what he was doing since he wouldn't let me turn around. He wrapped one arm around my waist and held the other out in front of me and I gasped. When he worked at the fire station, he had kept his mother's wedding ring locked in the safe in his closet because he didn't want to risk losing it. He had been wearing both his mother's and his father's wedding bands since he quit the fire station on a white gold chain around his neck. "Isabella, will you marry me?" He asked again and I nodded eagerly and held my hand out to him.
He slipped one half of his mother's set onto my finger and I smiled because it was a perfect fit. "I love you and I love it. I'm honored to wear her bands, Barman." I whispered to him as I admired my newest jewelry.
"I'm glad, Love. You ready to go find that chapel?" He asked with a teasing laugh.

He finally allowed me to turn around and I threw my arms around his neck in happiness. "You know, we don't have to get married tonight." I told him in reassurance in case he really didn't want to get married tonight.
He shook his head. "If you're game, then I would love to land in Hawaii as Mr. and Mrs. Cullen." He told me as he sealed his lips to mine.
Three hours later, we were boarding the plane as Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen and had pictures to prove it. I didn't regret any of it and the smile on my face proved that. "Should we text our friends and let them know or just surprise them when we get home?" I asked Edward as we settled back into our seats headed for Hawaii.
"I say let them find out on their own, but I will leave that option up to you, Wife." He said with a grin on his face lifing my new old rings to his lips to pres a kiss against them.
***Picture of combined wedding ring and engagement ring***
"I don't think I will ever get tired of hearing you call me that, Husband." I told him and we both chuckled at our silliness. "I kinda like your idea of waiting and letting them figure it out all on their own, but we're not getting back until late Sunday night and probably won't see them until the next weekend." I argued with myself.
"Then just text them a picture of your ring and see what they say." Edward suggested as we began our ascent into the sky.
"That's a great idea, I will do that as soon as we land in Hawaii." I told him as I snuggled into his side. "Where are we gonna live when we get back home?" I asked him quietly.
"I don't care as long as I am with you but I don't want to live above the bar anymore. We can either live at your house until we leave for the summer or we can get another place of our own. What do you want to do?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "It doesn't really make sense for the both of us to move when we will have to move again in a few months, so I guess my house it is. Have you decided on a place for the new club?"
He groaned. "I have it narrowed down to three places, but I can't decide which place I want to move to. San Antonio and Austin are both over two hours away from Houston and I don't really wanna be that far away from everybody. College Station is a huge college town and is only a little over an hour away from here." He said as he scrubbed a hand over his face in frustration.
"Then it seems like you have already made up your mind, but you are fighting against it for some reason." I told him as I snuggled into his chest.
He groaned. "You know me so well. A club would do fantastically in College Station because of all the college students but there may not be too many job opportunities for you there." He admitted.
"Don't you worry about me; I am good at what I do and anybody who knows me will put in a recommendation if I asked them to. I can find a job, don't you worry about that, Husband. It looks like we are moving to College Station after the summer is over." I told him with a sense of finality.
"One more thing, after we go to Forks this summer and conquer your demons, I want to go to Chicago and conquer mine." He told me quietly.
"That sounds perfect, Edward. Absolutely perfect. Do you have a big backyard in Chicago?" I asked him as a plan formulated in the back of my head.
He nodded. "Yeah, why?"
"Maybe we could invite everybody up and have a 4th of July celebration there as well as a birthday celebration for you, Tori, and Emmett?" I posed it like a question.
I could practically hear him grin at my suggestion. "Sounds perfect, Baby. We can all stay at the house and create some fun loving happy memories there."
With everything settled in our minds, our bodies settled down to and we dozed back off together, the first time as husband and wife.
EPOV
I couldn't believe that this amazing creature was now my wife. I had not planned to propose in Vegas, much less get married, but the moment had seemed perfect and I couldn't pass up the perfect opportunity. I heard the announcement that we were about to land in Hawaii in approximately thirty minutes.
I stroked Bella's arm gently as it was draped over my chest. She was snoring lightly as she continued to sleep on in contentment. I smiled when I got to the rings now standing out on her left hand. "Bella, Baby, wake up." I jostled her a little bit.
She groaned and leaned back into her own seat and blinked her eyes open and looked at me blearily. "Good morning, Husband." She told me as she smiled slightly, still trying to wake up.
"Good morning, Wife." I told her and was just about to lean forward and give her a kiss when she clamped her hand over her mouth and her eyes got huge.
I jumped up from my seat and moved out of the way as she scrambled for the bathroom. I knew it wasn't morning breath, because we had conquered that battle months ago right after we first started dating. I wandered if she was getting motion sickness from flying so much in the past little bit when she wasn't used to flying at all.
I made my way to the bathroom where I could hear her retching up what little bit she had eaten last night. "Sir, you are going to have to sit back down. We are about to land." The flight attendant said urgently.
I looked at her like she was stupid. "My wife is getting sick and I am going to check on her. Tell your captain he can fly around in a circle if he must but I am going to check on my wife." I told her snobbily and continued to make my way back to the bathroom.
She hadn't even bothered to latch the door in her urgency. I snatched it open and saw her sitting on the closed toilet with her head in her hands groaning. "Baby, are you okay?" I asked her as I knelt down in front of her.
She shook her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I don't feel so good, Edward." She groaned.
I stood up and scooped her in my arms and backed out of the bathroom trying to not jostle her around too much. "We'll go see a doctor as soon as we land and get you checked out." I told her as I sat her back in her seat after glaring at the flight attendant who started to say something about me carrying my wife from the bathroom.
Bella shook her head. "I just need to rest, Edward. It's probably motion sickness even though I've never gotten it before." She said as she rested her head against the cool window beside her as I fastened her seatbelt.
"We are going to the hospital to get you checked out as soon as we get off this plane. No arguments. I want you to enjoy our vacation, too and you can't do that if you are sick." I told her as I sat back down and fastened my own seatbelt.
An hour later our luggage was on its way to the hotel and I was sitting beside Bella's bedside as she was laying in the hospital bed looking very pale to me. In the hour since we had disembarked from our flight she had thrown up two more times. Every time she ate or drank any little think she would puke it right back up.
The doctor strolled in with her chart in his hands. "Mrs. Cullen, I am going to have my nurse come draw some blood from you but first I need you to answer a few questions for me. Can you do that?" Bella nodded weakly and gripped my hand tightly in hers.
"When was your last menstrual cycle?" He asked without ever looking up.
"Umm.. three weeks ago." Bella mumbled.
"Was it normal?"
"Not really, but I have been stressed out lately with work." She explained and I squeezed her hand because I already knew all of this.
"Okay, have you ever experienced motion sickness before?" He looked up at her and smiled stiffly.
She shook her head. "I have been on unsteady surfaces before when I would go fishing with my father but I have never had any problems with it. I have also flown a few times before with no problems." She explained grumpily.
He nodded his head. "When was the last time you had anything to eat?"
"When we were in Vegas, last night sometime. I'm unsure of the exact time." She admitted sheepishly. It was right after we had said our vows, we had went and had a nice dinner.
"Was it anything unusual that you've never tried before?"
She shook her head. "No, I've had mushroom ravioli several times before and it's never caused me any problems."
"Did it taste like it normally does at other restaurants?"
She nodded but didn't say anything.
"Okay, that's it for now, Mrs. Cullen. The nurse will be in promptly to get your blood drawn so we can do a blood panel." He said as he left.
Almost immediately the nurse came in. She was an older woman that looked like Nurse Ratchet and she never spoke a word as she poked Bella and drew several tubes of blood before leaving again.
"I don't like her, Edward." Bella said as she rolled her head to look at me.
I just chuckled because I honestly couldn't blame her. "Me either, Baby. Try to get some sleep, okay?"
She nodded and closed her eyes whispering. "I love you, Husband."
I kissed her knuckles and whispered back. "I love you, too, Wife." I laid my head down on the side of her bed and closed my tired eyes too.
A person clearing their throat jerked me from my slumber. It was the doctor. I shook my head to clear it of the cobwebs and gently shook Bella's shoulder. "Baby, wake up the doctor's here." I told her as she began to stir.
We both looked to the doctor anxiously. "I have found out why you are getting sick, Mrs. Cullen. You areā¦"

I promise, Hawaii is next and already written!
What do you think is wrong with Bella? Leave me a review and lemme know what you think! I will give a sneak preview of next chapter to whoever tries to guess!
This is a total coincidence...they are going on spring break and so am I. You guys are getting a double dose today because I am going camping with the family until Sunday night and won't have access to any form of electricity or internet until then.
