The first ray of sunlight streaming through the open door was the only thing that made me aware of the time. My fingers were tracing invisible pictures on Edward's bare chest while his fingers stroked my hair. I looked up at him, and he was still smiling, as he had been all night. "Do you think we should get breakfast ready? She should be awake soon…" I concentrated on Elsie. She wasn't awake, but she wasn't dreaming, either. I nodded, but at the same time I was completely unwilling to get out of bed and put clothes on. I was perfectly content in Edward's arms, our naked bodies entwined under the sheet.

Edward sighed, knowing exactly how I felt about getting out of bed, and grabbed my hand, helping me to my feet. I went to the dresser while he thumbed through the spare clothes in the closet, not having taken the time to pack his own clothes. I swore silently and grabbed a small, white dress to slip on. I took the time to ogle at Edward's gorgeous naked body before he covered it up with boxers, shorts, and a white tee. Edward turned suddenly, catching my wandering eyes, and laughed. "See anything you like?" he asked suggestively.

"Do not tempt me. I'm already about to destroy the clothes you just put on, don't make it any harder for me. It's taking me all of my strength to even think about walking out of this room instead of throwing you back on the bed and making you moan my name like you did last night…" A shiver ran down my spine, which helped with my point. Edward laughed again.

"Well, then let me help you leave the temptations behind." He held out his hand for me to take and led me down the hall to the kitchen. Edward knew that I preferred to work solo in the kitchen, so he watched as I fried sausage links and eggs.

Breakfast was nearly done when I heard the floor creak slightly. "I hope breakfast is portable, because I can't possibly sit at a table in this heat. I want to go to the beach."

I laughed, and also wondering if maybe it was hotter here than I thought. "OK, don't worry. We'll go to the beach, and breakfast is portable." I thought, grabbing a tortilla, sprinkling it with cheese, and tossing the egg-and-sausage mixture onto it, wrapping it up neatly.

Elsie walked in, wearing a green paisley bikini with a fishnet cover-up thrown over it. Obviously Alice had bought it for her, as I would never have allowed it. The top seemed a little small, her cleavage more prominent than necessary, and the bottoms made it obvious that she had shaved, as no one could wear that without shaving. The cover-up didn't cover much; it was made from a net, the neck dropped down to the middle of the chest, and the bottom barely cleared her swimsuit bottoms.

"Alice" Edward and I thought at the same time. "Well, it's a shame she didn't get one for you, too." Edward thought, and I had to hold my breath to keep myself under control, otherwise I would have gladly shot over the counter and attacked him, and it wouldn't have been in the sexy way that he would like, but in an I'm-going-to-rip-your-balls-off way.

I handed the stuffed tortilla to her, which she grabbed and bit, skipping out of the door. "Go get your suits on!" Elsie told the both of us as she kicked the sand with her feet. I strode back into the bedroom, reaching into the top drawer and pulling out a random suit, throwing it on before Edward came walking in. Unfortunately, the suit that I picked did nothing to help me. It was a light brown one-piece, although it could have been a two-piece if not for the small piece of fabric running over my stomach attaching the top piece to the bottom. It shaped itself perfectly to my figure, smoothing my hips and making my chest look a tiny bit bigger than it actually was.

I shook my head while Edward whistled once, heading to the closet to pull out a pair of swim trunks. He undressed and, while pulling the trunks over his knees, waved his butt in the air, laughing. I closed the distance between us and, before he could cover up, gave him one hard smack, which made him jump.

I laughed as he rubbed where my hand had landed, bouncing out of the door and onto the sand towards Elsie, who had finished her breakfast and was splashing around in the shallow waves. I picked up speed, bracing myself. Elsie saw my blur and started running, thinking I was going to knock into her. However, I jumped as soon as my toes hit the waters' edge, flying through the air. I turned myself in the air and placed my hands together above my head, hitting the water in a dive that an Olympic diver would be envious of.

As soon as I stopped sinking, I turned and swam for the surface. My head broke, which made me aware of Elsie and Edward cheering a football-field's length away. I waved to them and swam for shore, popping up five feet in front of Elsie. "That was so awesome!" Elsie was jumping up and down, but Edward had a suspicious smirk on his face.

"What?" I asked him. He started backing up, his back almost touching a palm tree. Then, without warning, he began sprinting for the water. His feet were in the water when he pounced, sending drops of salt water raining down on us. In the air, he tucked his feet to his chest and spun in a forward somersault. Then, just before he hit the water, he spread his arms and legs out, landing with a resounding splat on his stomach. Elsie and I began giggling as his head broke the surface wearing his sideways grin.

He swam back to shore and, standing in front of us, shook the water out of his hair. "That's how you do that," Edward said, crossing his arms and grinning again.

"That was so cool! I wish I could do that!" Elsie whined a bit, but I got an idea.

"Brace yourself," I told her. I turned her around, placing my hands on her waist and, without warning, used all of my strength to throw her into the air towards the water. Her scream filled the air as she plummeted to the water. She curled up into a tight ball at the last second and splashed into the water. I started counting under my breath, ready to swim out and help if she didn't resurface. Edward was tensed at my side, ready to sprint. We both relaxed when her head broke the surface, her laugh shaky but giddy. Both Edward and I swam out to meet her halfway. I grabbed her so that she could rest, holding her above the surface.

"That was unreal!" she giggled, still shaky from the abruptness of being thrown into the air.

"The splash you made was at least ten feet high!" Edward exclaimed. Elsie giggled, diving back into the water with both me and Edward at her heels.

"Jasper!" I yelled, "Have you seen my pink diamond chandelier earrings?"

"No," he said, walking into the closet and looking at me, "But I don't know what that is, so I'll be sure and tell you if I see it."

I groaned. This is what I get for having sex with a man who knows nothing about fashion. "Just go ask Rose if she borrowed them, and if so, I need them back."

"Will do," Jasper said, dashing out of the room before I could throw a shoe at him. I sighed. I was wearing a white tank with a baby pink skirt, and those earrings are the only ones that match the skirt perfectly. I didn't want to have to change, but if I couldn't find those earrings, I would have to.

I heard quiet footsteps come into the room and stop at the doorway to the closet. I was still rummaging through jewelry box number ten. "Did Rose have them? Because if I have to change just because I can't find the earrings that match, I'm going to be so mad that I might just chuck you out of the window."

"Hello, Alice." The voice was not the one I had been anticipating. This voice was deep, light, and old…and I knew I had made a mistake. I had been looking for the decision of a group, and not the decision of an individual. I thought of my family spread throughout the house…and of Bella, Edward, and Elsie on the island…and how I'd endangered all of them with this stupid mistake. I was too afraid to turn around. "Where might Bella and Edward be?" The sound of those words made me wince. Slowly, I turned to face him.

"Hello, Aro."

A/N: I realize that this chapter is shorter than the others, I just need to plan out the next chapter. But I left you with your favorite thing in the whole wide world...a cliffie. lol I know you love me, you don't have to say it. Ha! I'm very sad that I only got one comment on my last chapter, and I'm going to forget that and give you guys a break since I've been out for so long...But if I don't get more comments this time...I'm not sure that I'll feel like writing the next chapter. I hate saying 'I want this many comments before i post the next chapter." but I'm not saying that, I just want more than one this time.

B*Vamptastic, that thought had occurred to me, and I've toyed with it. Thanks for actually speaking up and saying an idea, because even if I don't use it, it might help me find another idea. But, much to popular belief, I don't have a story line in my head. It's more the idea of where I want it to end up and the major events that lead to it, but anything other than that, I come up with on the spot. Thanks for the well wishes! That means so much to me that the people who love this story also know me as a person.

Also, I've put myself on Twitter...sortof. I'll be saying when I'm working on a chapter, if I'm writing a new story, things like that. I don't have any friends on there, and I'm hoping that I can use my Twitter account to keep my fanfiction fans updated on whats going on with my writing. If you'd like to add me, my screen name is CLPMomma09 so PLEASE add me!

I was hoping to get started on Chapter 6 tomorrow, but I have a doctor and an ultrasound appointment tomorrow morning, and then I've got a history test to take tomorrow afternoon when my home studies teacher comes (if she doesn't bail out again) so I might not be able to get started on it. But, leave me comments, and send me love (not to mention add me on Twitter) and I'll write as fast as I can! COMMENTS COMMENTS COMMENTS!

Also, I've got a new story up called Darkness...it's one of those 'Dark Edward' stories. I've had 35 hits and no comments. I'm getting pissed off. If you can take the time to read it, you can take the 30 freaking seconds to comment on it. Go read it if you want, but only if you're going to COMMENT.
