Previously: I looked out to where his finger pointed and saw a huge……island I think it was. It was beautiful! It looked very tropical, something that you'd see in a magazine. "I-i-is th-th-that where we are going?" I stuttered in disbelief
He nodded as a huge smile spread across his face, "Bella, welcome to Esme Island."
Bella's POV:
I lunged at Edward full on, "Oh my goodness Edward, this is wonderful!" seriously an Island? Named after Esme? Screw jet planes when you can have an island!
He chuckled with a big grin and said, "And you want to know the best part?"
I raised my eyebrow and said, "What else could be better?" I mean, come on, we were on an island for our honeymoon that's gorgeous, what more could we ask for? I'm sure the hotel is like a four star one too!
"There's no one else here." He winked and I gasped.
"So, we get the whole island just to ourselves?" I asked speechless.
He nodded slowly and said, "Yep, two weeks of strictly you and me."
I nodded but joked around, "Don't you mean you, me and him?" I asked pointing towards my stomach.
"Him?" he asked confused but with a laugh, "You think it's a boy? I've pictured it a girl so far."
I shook my head, "Nope, it's a boy. Mother's intuition right?" I said with a small smile.
He placed his hand on my stomach and said, "Whatever you say," but added quietly, "I still think I'm right." I laughed but didn't answer. He started getting our boat closer towards the island. I was literally bouncing up and down with excitement as we neared. As soon as Edward had the boat mounted properly so that it wouldn't float away, I jumped on him full on and connected my lips to his. He answered instantly as I straddled him, my legs on either sides of his waist. In between kisses he murmured, "I love you Bella. So much."
I kissed him lightly and said, "More than you can imagine." That continued for about another five minutes. By the end we were both panting and our hair was all messed up. He tousled my hair and kept me straddled to his waist as he walked towards where we'd be living the next two weeks. After walking for a few minutes as I stared into his beautiful topaz eyes he shifted me down so that I was standing on my own.
I gave him a confused look and he replied by saying, "Turn around." I turned my body around and saw a wonderful house. It was huge! It had a wooden frame, a mahogany color and had the most beautiful windows. I gasped and smiled hugely, "You like it?"
I looked at him, "Are you serious? I love it! This is amazing!" he smiled at my excitement. I wrapped my arms around his waist and put my face into his chest, "You really are amazing." I told him taking in a deep breathe of his scent.
"Not as amazing as you," I looked up to him and saw his eyes with love in them. I leaned into kiss him gently and then pulled away.
"So, what do you want to do?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Hmmmmm, you pick," he told me smiling.
"Well, you do know, pregnant woman have their hormones get out of control," I winked at him, "And, that makes us very needy." I told him pouting.
"Oh really, what is it that you are needing?" he smirked.
"Oh, nothing really, just a little of this," I kissed him slightly before he picked me up into his arms and raced me into the house. Aside from the kiss I also saw how wonderful the house was. Everything was gorgeous, like it was straight out from a magazine!
Edward raced into a room of all blue and placed me on the bed. He lied beside me and continued what we started………..
I woke up and was really surprised at the time the clock said. It was already 7:00PM!!! I turned my head to see Edward still sound asleep. I smiled at him and was just about to lie back down when my stomach made a very unattractive growling sound. I didn't realize how hungry I was!
Hmmm I wonder what kind of food's here. I looked through the cabinets and nothing really appealed to me. But then suddenly I got a craving for something chocolaty, spicy, gooey and salty….weird combination, I know, but don't people always say when your pregnant you get cravings? I guess this was what they meant. (A/N: I know I'm probably off with the whole craving things, I mean like, it's probably not the right time for that to happen but no one in my family has been pregnant since I was five…..so that was a while ago. Please bear with me.)
I looked through all the cabinets to find the things that would make a good combo to satisfy my craving. Finally I found the perfect things: BBQ chicken pizza (the spice), mini Hershey bars (the chocolate), peanut butter (the gooey) and pretzel bits (the salty). I laid all the products out on the kitchen table and read the directions for the pizza. 15 minutes in the oven or until crispy. I placed the pizza in the stove and stared humming to a song by Muse as I waited sitting at the table.
Finally I heard the buzzer telling me my pizza was done. I went to grab the pizza but being dumb me I forgot about the pot holder so I wouldn't burn myself. I placed my bare hand right on the steaming pan. "Shit! Ouch! Ow!" I exclaimed running over to the sink to put cold water on my hand. I let it soothe the burn for a while until it started looking better. It was still sore and red but no real damage—I've had worse. Way worse.
This time I got the pot holder and took the pizza out carefully so I would not catch the sides with my hands. I first applied the peanut butter all over the pizza then crushed up chocolate bars and pretzel bits and sprinkled them all over the peanut butter. It actually looked quite good. I was surprised….normally I would find something like this disgusting. I quickly searched for the pizza cutter and found it after looking in the 5th drawer.
I set up a spot on the table and started to eat the pizza. I took a huge bite but then I heard footsteps from the stairs and turned to see Edward staring at me. I tried to smile but then realized my mouth was full.
"Bella?" he asked laughing.
I nodded on account I couldn't speak—note to self, don't take bite so big!
"What are you eating?" he asked as he came over and saw what I had made. I tried not to laugh; I didn't want food to fly everyone.
I finished chewing my bite and said, "Uh, well, I was having a craving for something spicy, gooey, chocolaty, and salty…..so I got BBQ chicken pizza, covered it with peanut butter, and added chocolate and pretzel bits to it." I took another bite and swallowed, "It's pretty good want some?" I held out the pizza to his face.
He laughed and said, "I'll pass, thanks though." He planted a kiss on my forehead before taking a seat besides me. He chuckled and then said, "You have some pretty crazy pregnancy craves, I'll be forewarned next time you ask for something." I giggled along with him.
"Hey, it's not my fault I'm pregnant." I told him accusingly.
He laughed and said, "Well not all your fault, but it's not like what happened was against your will."
I nodded in agreement and then noticed what Edward was wearing. "Hah! Edward!" I exclaimed out of no where.
He jumped slightly and said, "Yeah...?"
I started laughing, "You're wearing the boxers! The pink and purple ones!"
He chuckled and said, "Why yes I am, you did say you wanted to see them."
I smirked and said, "Very sexy. Good thing you don't wear them to school, they'd turn on too many girls."
"Do they turn you on?" he asked one eyebrow raised.
"Hmmm," I pretended to think about it, "Yeah, they do."
He came up to kiss me but I stopped him and said, "Not now, I'm eating." He sighed and sat back down in his seat. "So what are our plans for today?"
"Well, since it's already like 8:00 I was thinking just curl up around the T.V. and watch a movie or something. Is that okay with you?" he asked.
I nodded with pizza in my mouth, "Yeah, that sounds good to me, I'm still tired even after sleeping all that time," to show my point I yawned really loudly. He laughed and sat with me as I finished my meal.
After I finished I put my hand out to put away the pizza pan but Edward quickly grabbed my wrist, "What did you do?" he asked with alarm. His eyes held serious worry in them.
I shrugged and said, "Well, I forgot to get a pot holder so I sorta kinda picked up the pizza pan with my bare hands. No big deal."
He stared at me with shock, "No big deal? Look how swollen your hand is!" he placed my hand in front of my face. I took a look at it and winced. I hadn't noticed I got worse since before.
"Whoops." I said.
"Whoops is right," he sighed, "I'll be right back I just need to get some aloe to put on that hand of yours." He started walking and then laughed, "You'd be the person to get hurt the first day on our honeymoon."
I laughed and said, "That's why you love me!" and gave him an innocent smile.
"Yep, that's why I love you," he chuckled as he went upstairs to get the medicine. I started really looking at my hand. It really did look pretty bad, definitely worse than it felt, although I've had so many things happen to me no wonder it seemed like something small I've had: Broken arm, broken leg, broken nose, sprained ankle, sprained wrist, fractured leg, broken rib……and probably a whole lot more. I flexed my hand muscles and it still stung but would probably feel like nothing even happened by morning.
Edward was back within no time and started spreading the aloe on my hand, "Does that feel good?"
I nodded; "It feels great!" it was so cool against the slight sting of the burn. It felt like heaven!
After he finished he said, "Okay, want to go pick the movie? I have to go put this away, I'll be right back." He started running up the stairs as I made my way over to where the movies were.
Hmm I looked through all the title and saw that the perfect movie for this occasion. It had somewhat sentimental value to it. I quickly put it in the DVD player before Edward had the chance to see what I had picked.
I sat back on the couch and waited for Edward to come back. I fiddled around with my fingers until Edward came and wrapped his arm around me as he kissed me on the forehead, "So, what movie did you pick?"
I laid my head against his shoulder and said, "You'll find out soon enough."
The movie went through all the credits and then Edward exclaimed when he found out the movie, "The Happening?"
I nodded my head against his body, "I thought this movie would be good. I mean, this is after all the first movie we really watched together, plus it was the first day we really started warming up to each other." I then quietly added, "And it was the first time we actually, you know, slept together in the original sense."
He chuckled, "Very true," he kissed the top of my head, "Very good pick." The rest of the movie was pure bliss! We watched most of it with an occasional make out session every now and again and I'd suddenly feel his lips connecting with my head but it seriously was the best time I'd spent in a while! Besides the actual wedding of course.
The movie ended and I was shaking Edward and noticed that he was already asleep. I quietly got up from his hold and turned off the T.V. I lie down next to him and fell fast asleep.
And then, the nightmare began:
I was sitting in my old bedroom. The one from before Edward and I got married. I was reading some kind of fashion magazine when I heard my cell ring. I looked at the caller I.D. and noticed it was Edward! I happily answered the call and Edward answered with an angry voice.
"Bella!" he exclaimed from the other end.
"Y-y-yes?" I croaked out surprised by the anger in his voice.
"We are done!" he said in the same cold voice.
"Wh-wh-what?" I said as tears were streaming down my face. This was reminding me too much of my breakup with Jacob.
"We. Are. Through." He was being so cold. I'd never seen him act like this. Why was this happening?
"Wh-why? Did I d-d-d-do something wrong?" I stuttered out.
"No." he said coldly, "I've been lying to you. Tanya is the one I want. Not you. Look at you. Plain, boring, then look at Tanya gorgeous hot. Who wouldn't pick her?"
Tears were streaming down my face at a rapid speed and I said, "Why are you acting like this! Edward, you said you loved me!"
"I've said many things." He sneered into the phone.
"Y-y-you wouldn't!" I yelled trying to figure out what was going on. "You said you wouldn't leave me like Jake!"
He chuckled darkly, "Well, I can't be raising a kid with you. Too young for that, I need to spend my life living, not being a father, go get someone else to do it."
I then woke up to my own screams and sobs. Edward shifted quickly beside me and jerked up. He wrapped his arms around me as I cried into his chest. "Baby, what's wrong? Shhhh." He cooed to me.
I sobbed and sobbed, "No, don't leave." I said while making a mess of his shirt and clinging to his arms.
"Bella, honey, I'm not going anywhere." He assured me as he tenderly rubbed the back of my head. "Remember, as long as we both shall live. That's a promise Bella."
"Please, please, please!" I exclaimed incoherently. I just couldn't make any sense right now. That dream had messed me up!
"Bella! Talk to me, please what?" he said with urgency in his voice.
"Please, just stay." I told him.
"I already told you, I'm not going anywhere. Never in a million years. No scratch that, never in infinity years. I will never, ever, ever leave you. I promise you that."
I recomposed myself and drew in a shaky breathe as I still clinged to his arms. "The dream. It was so…..so…..so terrible!" I told him at a loss for words.
"Shhhh. Tell me what happened." He said still rubbing at my head.
I drew in another shaky breathe, "Y-y-you, called and I-I-I expected it to be good, b-but then your v-voice was cold. Harsh. Y-you told me we were over b-because of T-Tanya. You said that she was b-better than m-m-me." I then quietly added, "It was sort of like a re-make of what happened with Jake. I loved someone and then they broke my heart."
He wrapped his arms around my waist—almost as if I were his possession, "Bella, don't even think that! You are way better than Tanya. I won't do anything to you like that Jacob guy did," he winced at the naming of Jacob, "I love you and I promise you, I'll be here forever."
I then added, "A-also, in my d-dream, you said you didn't want to be a f-father so soon, you s-s-said you need to live your life."
I looked up to his face which held disgust, "I would never do that to you Bella! You know that! I'm ecstatic to becoming a father! I want that, I think it's great we are going to be parents! I love you so much and you having a baby is not going to change that! It will just give me another life to love." He then looked at me, sadness in his eyes, "Don't you trust me enough to know that?"
Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the pure sadness in his, "Oh, Edward, yes I do trust you. And I, I don't know, the dream just got to me, it was so…..so real!"
He put his hands on both of my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes, "Bella, you are my life now. I will never do anything to hurt you. Do you understand? I love you more than you can imagine, more than I desire to live! If I were to ever hurt you, I'd be hurting myself even more. I can't even imagine the pain I'd go through if I were to hurt you."
I nodded fastly, "I-I-I know, I know. I was o-overreacting."
He pulled me into him as he said, "Its okay. I just, I just want you to know, I'm never going to act like that asshole Jacob. He doesn't deserve you. I don't even deserve you."
I laughed, "Yes you do." I looked up into his eyes. "I'm sorry, I really am."
He pulled me closer and said, "No need to apologize, bad dreams get to people. Some people have good imaginations so the dreams run into wider ranges."
I chuckled, "I guess I have a really good imagination." He smiled sweetly and wrapped his arms around me. Before I even realized it, I had fallen asleep with no interruptions from horrible dreams. Instead I had the most wonderful dream. My dreams really change up fast:
Dream:
I was lying in bed with Edward beside me and a little baby boy in the middle of us. The boy had Edward's exact hair color and had the same facial expressions. The only thing that looked like me were the eyes: chocolate brown. The baby was gorgeous. Everything about him was perfect. He lay there with his tiny hands grasping a hold my finger. His eyes staring into the room looking every which way.
I realized this baby wasn't just any baby. It was my imagination of the baby growing inside of me. Of my child, my son………….or daughter, but I still have the feeling my baby is a boy. The baby started crying and I picked him up quickly cooing to him saying, "Its okay little Collin. Don't cry, everything's alright." Collin? Is that the name of my baby in the dream? I guess so……hey, I actually like that! I'd have to remember that name and tell Edward.
I rocked him back and forth before giving the precious child away to my husband. He was just as careful. Gently rubbing his arm back and forth and talking baby-talk to him. I think this is the dream that will one day come true. Edward will be a great father, I just know it. I smiled as I closed my eyes in the dream.
Unknowingly, I smiled as I slept as well.
