A/N- Hello everyone! So I know it took me like a little while longer to update, but I was really tired yesterday and didn't want to write anything… like not even replies to reviews. So I went to bed early and now you get an update! So, I hope you enjoy!

EmeraldLace- There won't be all that much angst… almost none really. They will meet the new additions to the Cullen family and there will be some tension, but you'll just see that when it comes.

The Classic Chic- Who doesn't? Well, Bella when Alice when she wants to go shopping, but still…

Superdani- Indeed… Thanks for the review!

BirdieInABox16- I'm glad you like her! Thanks for the review!

Estelin- I'm glad you like it! Thanks for the review!

The next morning, James and I knew we had to tell everyone that we were leaving again. James was about to go crazy and we had spent most of our time together and away from everyone else anyway. So, we packed in silence. This time, James made sure he had his cell phone with him. We left our bags in our room as we made our way out.

No one was in the living room so we decided to just wait, hoping everyone would come out soon. Unfortunately, our hopes weren't fulfilled. Tanya and Kate made their way in a few minutes after us, but it took Carmen and Eleazar another hour and a half and then Irina and Laurent a final two hours to come out. So by the time everyone was up and walking around, it was already noon.

"Um, you guys, can we talk to you?" I called when I knew everyone was in the living room or one of the adjacent rooms. Soon, six people were sitting in the living room waiting for what I had to say. "Um, James and I have decided to… well, we've decided to become nomads."

"We were wondering when you'd decide to leave." Laurent said. "I knew James would always miss that life and since you loved nature so much I knew you'd follow him pretty quickly."

"Who had bets on us?" James asked, looking around.

"No one had actual bets on you." Laurent said.

"Then why are Kate and Tanya exchanging money with Irina?" James asked, nodding his head towards the three female vampires.

"What? We all knew it was coming!" Irina defended.

"We aren't mad." I said. "It's nice to know you guys aren't mad."

"We'll only be mad if you don't call and keep in touch with us. Plus you'll have to come back and visit." Tanya replied. "You both have your phones right?"

"Ya, we packed them." I replied.

"So when do you plan to leave?" Eleazar asked.

"Um, most likely now. Everything's packed and ready to go." James replied.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Eleazar asked me. "I mean, we could keep training your powers."

"No, that wears me out so much! I just want to live and have fun." I replied, squeezing James' hand and smiling up at him.

"I can respect that. If you ever change your mind…"

"I'll call you or just come straight back." I said. "Thanks though." I hugged Eleazar and everyone else before grabbing my bag from my room. James said goodbye after me and I waited at the back door with my backpack. James was quick to join me. As soon as we were ready, we took off into the forest without looking back.

oOoOoOo

We made it to Yosemite within two days. For the first night I wanted to stay in a cabin like a normal person, but then I had realized I had no money. I had never told James that I wanted to, but he knew that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" James asked as he pulled me from under the mist of Yosemite Falls. We had been hiking up the trail right next to the cascading water.

"Hm? O, I was just thinking." I replied.

"Thinking about something depressing? I thought that wasn't allowed here." James said.

"There are rules for being here?" I asked.

"Yes, and the first one is to kiss your girlfriend whenever possible. It's good luck or something." James grinned before locking our lips together. One of my hands traveled to his face and held it gently while my other remained locked within James' hair.

"I like that rule." I said when James finally broke apart. My eyes were still closed as James moved to my neck. My knees were starting to go weak and I clung to James' shoulder.

"Now… what… were you… thinking?" James said between kisses.

"You had to ruin the moment." I groaned.

"Sorry." James laughed. "Now, spill."

"I was just thinking how nice it would be to stay in a cabin a day or two." I replied. "But then I realized we have no money."

"That's what you think." James said.

"What? Are you hiding something from me?" James just shrugged and continued to work on the site of a would-be hickey.

"Laurent and I went into investing. Last I checked we had plenty of money that neither of us had to worry. Plus my family wasn't completely poor."

"So you've been earning interest this whole time?"

"Ya pretty much."

"So how much do you have?" I asked.

"Um… a few million." James shrugged. "Let's go get a cabin."

"Are you sure? And what's a few million?"

"Enough that you don't need to worry and you'll never have to. And yes I'm sure. Now let's go get one. It'll be a miracle if there's one open, but you never know."

James led us down to one of the offices. Luckily, there was no one in line for cabins, just a few people sitting around on the office furniture. I fell behind James a little bit, but followed him up.

"Hello, how may I help you today?"

"We were wondering if you had any cabins open? We were supposed to go camping, but our tent had a large hole in it and we won't be able to get a new one till tomorrow." James said.

"Did you try one of our camping stores?"

"Well, I was hoping to surprise my girlfriend. She had heard about some of the cabins and although she's ecstatic to go camping, she wanted to try one."

"I think we're full, but I can double check. My suggestion is to come back another time and make reservations."

"I most likely will." I replied. "But this would be special."

"Well, it seems as though we had a last minute cancellation. It seems their car broke on the way here and they were forced to turn around. None of the other guests on the waiting list are able to get here until tomorrow. So you can have it for tomorrow, but you'll have to be checked out by tomorrow at noon."

"That's perfect." James said. He handed the teller a card. The woman looked at the card and her eyes went wide. "Well, Mr. Lanton, here's your key. If there is anything else you need, please call me. Here's my number at the desk and here," she wrote a number on the back, "is my personal number." I could not believe her audacity. I mean James had even told her that he had a girlfriend and I was standing right here!

"I'm sure he won't need that." I growled. I came up and pulled her card from her hands. Her eyelashes stopped batting and she gasped. I just smiled at her and crumpled the card.

"I'm sure I can just call the desk if I needed anything, but I'm constantly kept quite happy." James wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled into his chest, smiling proudly. James took the key from the woman and turned me from the desk so I didn't pounce on her and take my first human.

"She should refine her gold digging techniques." I growled. I also might have muttered something like "whore" and/or "slut". James just kept smiling.

"And here we are." He opened the door to our cabin and led me in. It was perfect. There was a queen bed in the center with a TV opposite of it. There was a small living room with an attached kitchen. The living room had a couch, chair, table, desk, and TV while the kitchen had all the necessities.

"This is perfect." I sighed. I twirled in the middle and ran to the bed. I jumped on it and bounced into the air.

"You are perfect." James said. He caught me when I landed and pulled me into him. "Now, we have less than I day and I think we should make good use of all of those minutes."

"Hm… I agree." I didn't wait for James to initiate the kiss. Instead I bent down and started kissing him.

oOoOoOo

"I must say, you handled that woman quite well. I would have pounced if it was a man and he was flirting with you."

"You don't know how much I was tempted to. There would have been witnesses though and too much mess. I didn't feel like wasting time with all of that." I replied. We were lying in the bed basking in the afterglow of yet another round of sex. Even though we had pretty much been going at it like newlyweds or rabbits, you pick the metaphor, it was still amazing.

"I'm still proud of you." James murmured into my hair. I mumbled a thank you and snuggled into his side.

"James? How did she recognize your name, just from your credit card?"

"There's more behind the investments than I led on."

"Like?" I was much more alert now, waiting for the missing information.

"Like that fact Laurent and I, well mainly I, invested in a very prosperous industry that ended up making me a lot of money."

"And?"

"And I don't have millions, but billions."

"So what, you're in Forbes or something?"

"My name is, but I never do interviews. So people would recognize the name and not the face."

"That would explain why my mother didn't react or why no one at school, especially my econ teacher reacted to you being my date." I said.

"So when were you going to tell me?"

"When it came up." James shrugged. "It's not like I use the money all that often."

"Hm, I wonder why." I murmured. "Maybe you should put it towards a charity."

"I was thinking a conservation charity? One for the national parks or for the animals?" James asked.

"I could give you the name of a few." I said. "So, I'm really dating a billionaire?"

"I'm afraid you are."

"Where are your… investments?"

"All around. We'll stop by some since I'm guessing you'll want to see the more scenic ones. Although, I was thinking about selling the Malibu house."

"It's too sunny there?" James nodded. "Damn, Malibu would have been nice to see at least once." James just nodded again.

When we had to leave, I was pleased to find an older woman working the desk. I talked to her for a bit before James pulled me away. We both said goodbye before making our way back to nature. We would disappear into the wild once more after we visited Yosemite Falls and Half Dome again.
