Thank you nicolleio, traceybuie and Lupin sister's for reviewing. Once again you've brought a smile to my face by reviewing.

"Will you come with me?" I asked Carlisle as he stood with me in our porch. I had actually missed spending time with Carlisle since I got back. I used to join him in his study for medical discussions and he used to bring me up to date. I had got my last medical degree a few years ago and new technology and scientific findings in the field were moving faster than I could keep up with without his help.
"Yes of course. I have missed our discussions you know. May be we can catch up." A nostalgic smile brightened his face. It was amazing how Carlisle sometimes seemed to read my mind without having any extra mind reading abilities. We also thought of the same things at the same time at times. Was I more like Carlisle than I thought? How could that be? He was very much a father figure to me and had a hand in who I have become today. I had actually followed in his footsteps becoming a doctor rather than a lawyer like my biological father. Thinking of fathers I remembered Charlie.
"Oh I almost forgot. I need some help. I need to learn how to fish before tomorrow morning. Charlie invited me to go fishing with him."
I could tell I was brimming with pride when I said this. Getting invited by Charlie meant so much to me and I really wanted to be the perfect son-in-law. I had promised Bella that we would do everything we can to try to keep Charlie in her life even after her change in some capacity even if they never met.
Carlisle gave me another pat on my shoulder.
"That is quite something son. I'm proud of you. So he has finally accepted you into the family."
Earlier I had brought everyone up to date on the way things had gone when Bella and I had told Charlie about our engagement. Esme had been thrilled and of course Alice had already known the outcome and was busily planning Charlie's suit for the occasion. Rosalie had reserved thoughts as usual but what surprised me was how sad all this made her. I couldn't understand why she was feeling sad. Her normal jealousy was also there but the sadness was overpowering. I got brief images of her friend Vera and her visits there along with her doubts about Bella's commitment to me but I didn't go to focus and try to read her mind. I didn't want to get angry with her again and create another scene. She and Emmett were still mending things between them and I didn't want to hurt Emmett again. Emmett and Jasper had of course been delighted by the news of the engagement. I only realised that Carlisle had been a bit worried about how Charlie was actually feeling when he made his comment about Charlie finally accepting me. As a very astute person he knew as well as I did that fishing was something Charlie shared only with his near and dear friends and it was a real honour to be included.
"I guess so. Now I will have to learn how to fish before tomorrow morning if I am to keep up appearances." I grimaced. For once I was thankful that I was a vampire, had I been human I would have never been able to learn the art of fishing in such a short time.
"Yes. Well I guess you'd have to be very experienced in fishing by now with all the camping trips the whole family had supposedly been taking. Come to think of it we'd all have to learn how to use all the equipment we've only used as props so far. He might decide to invite us along sometime without giving us any time to prepare." He chuckled thinking of how much fishing gear we had at home which had never been used. Some still in their packaging.
"We are also coming to learn how to fish." The little pixie stormed in with Esme on tow. Rosalie of course stood her ground with her don't care attitude.
"Well who is going to teach?" I asked. It was actually comical to see us all staring at each other; Carlisle, Esme, Alice and me.
"Frankly Edward I have no idea how to fish with this gear. I think I may have tried my hand at fishing when I was a little boy but my memories are very fuzzy. I doubt I would be of any help." Carlisle gave me a sheepish grin.
"Don't look at me! I only know how to cook fish." Esme gave us all a huge smile ruffling my hair.
"Well at least you know how to cook fish." Alice had a sad smile on her face. Esme put an arm around her hugging her closer.
"I'll teach you how to cook. I didn't know you wanted to learn." The pixie's face lit up.
"Well, I guess Emmett would know. He was into the great outdoors wasn't he? Getting mauled by that bear was part of his adventure." I smiled at the others. I really hoped that Emmett had some idea, if he didn't we were going to have to rely on online tutorials.
"Emmett, Jasper where are you? Would you like to go fishing with me?" I called out aloud. I heard a commotion in the backyard before two figures bathed in mud came to the front lawn. Well they'd been wrestling again I suppose.
"Sure thing. We could do with a dip in the river. Let's see who catches the most fish." Emmett loved making a game out of everything. He was unfortunately picturing catching fish by hand.
"No not with our hands Emmett. I want to learn how to fish the human way with a fishing rod." Emmett grimaced.
"Why would you want to do that? It would take ages." It was Jasper who asked.
"Charlie asked me to go fishing with him tomorrow morning." A slow grin spread across Emmett's face.
"Oh I see. Guess we are finally going to use our fishing gear."
"Well, Emmett I need lessons on how to use them." To my dismay I realised that he had only fished with the equipment available during his time from the memories that ran through his head now.
"Well, I guess I should be able to figure out how this stuff works. Don't worry bro." He smiled in his easy manner and that immediately put me at ease.
"Well let's go fishing." The little pixie was now bouncing up and down. I saw Esme hard at work on her laptop sitting in our living room. It reminded me of Bella working hard in her old computer. I frowned. I had still not been able to persuade her to let me buy her a new one. I guess once she is my wife she wouldn't feel too bad about me buying her stuff. That reminded me of my proposed hunting trip and having to leave Bella alone.
"I need someone to stay with Bella while I go hunting tonight. I'm still very reluctant to leave her alone. I know the danger is over but I'm still worried." To my surprise it was Rosalie who spoke up.
"I'd like to spend the night with Bella if you are ok with it. I want to get to know her better as she would be my sister. She barely knows me." She pictured her human life and thought of how Bella didn't know much about her. She didn't seem to have any ulterior motives but I automatically looked at Alice for guidance since I still didn't trust Rosalie.
"She's sincere. It would help them to get to know each other better. I'll join her if it makes you feel better." The pixie thought at me. Of course it would. I knew the pixie would be able to hold back Rosalie if things got out of hand and she would also be able to see in her visions if something was a miss. I silently nodded my head in thanks towards Alice.
"I'll join you Rosalie. I need to get Bella's ideas on the wedding dress."
Alice spoke aloud. Rosalie nodded. She didn't seem to be offended much by the idea that Alice would be joining her and that I wouldn't trust her alone with Bella.
"Sure. I'll just ring Bella and tell her about the change of plans." To my surprise Bella told me that she had been worried about me and that she had planned to ask me tonight to go hunting after the fishing trip. She was thrilled to have Alice with her. She didn't seem to mind that Rosalie was coming too. She urged me to take my time and have a good hunt and be back only in time for the fishing trip. I told her about my fishing training and she was laughing when she realised that I didn't actually know how to fish.
We all headed down to the river with all our fishing equipment including our back packs. For once we did indeed look like some human campers. Once we got there the pixie got to work throwing stuff about generally getting things dusty.
"What are you doing Alice?" Esme asked in surprise.
"Just making the stuff look worn out from use." Oh! I hadn't thought of that. Once again the pixie was one step ahead with her visions. We all helped and in just a few minutes had some well used fishing gear.
"Now for the fishing rods. I guess they'd look worn out by the time we finish practicing." Alice chirped as she got one out and cast it off flawlessly. We all gaped at her.
"What? I watched discovery. And well read a few manuals." We all followed suit and Esme opened up her laptop where she had downloaded some tutorials on fishing. We all had a fun time practising with Emmett catching the most fish. We immediately released the fish we caught back into the river as none of us had any urge to drink from the fish and didn't want to kill them unnecessarily. Within an hour we were all quite proficient at fishing.
"We should actually try to go on a normal camping trip you know. It could be fun." Emmett spoke and a bit of nostalgia for his human life was evident in his thoughts.
"Sure." I agreed with him. "We could even ask Charlie to go with us someday." Carlisle chuckled and nodded his head in approval.
I made my way to Bella's to wish her good night before leaving. She was in the bathroom when I climbed up to her room. I heard sounds of the shower running and started fantasising about her in the shower like I always did. Very soon I would be able to join her there.
Bella was draped in a towel as she entered the room.
"Oh I didn't think you would be here." She blushed. She usually took her clothes to the bathroom to dress when she knew I would be in her room.
"I wanted to say good night to you." I stood up and slowly walked towards her. I had a childish urge to pull her towel down. I hugged her to my now very aroused body leaning down to kiss her. Her lips were warm from her shower and she smelled of strawberries.
"Oh Edward." Bella's hands boldly roamed under my shirt touching the naked flesh on my chest. It was too much I had to see her again. I pulled off her towel and Bella squeaked in surprise trying to cover herself. I carried her off to bed and laid her down under the covers pulling the cover over her covering her fully from my view. I caught a few glances of her beautiful naked flesh while carrying her but although I had been playful pulling off her towel, now I felt I had to preserve her modestly. So I didn't take advantage of her nakedness by looking at her fully as I desperately wanted to. But I could join her under the covers with that thought I stripped naked and got into bed with her. Bella looked dazed as she looked at me in confusion when she found I was naked with her in bed. I realised I had done all this at vampire speed and it must be difficult for Bella to keep up with me.
"Edward! What about your hunt?"
"What hunt?" I asked her chuckling as I cuddled her closer to me under the comforter hugging her naked body to mine. It was heavenly to be with her like this. Her soft warm breasts against my chest; her legs wrapped around mine and her soft heated core caressing me where I wanted it the most. Oh god. We were moulded together. It wouldn't take much to make us one entering her. I shuddered in pleasure at the thought that at the end of the month I would have the right to do just that; to make her mine.
"Edward.. oh.. more.." Bella rubbed against Edward junior in a frenzy. Alice had told me I had half an hour before she and Rosalie came to Bella's. So we had to be quick. There was no time to take things slow as I wanted to. So I kissed Bella hard as I caressed her breasts then started rubbing against her bundle of nerves. It didn't take much for both of us to reach our peaks and as we lay there basking in the after glow I heard Alice's thoughts.
"We are near the room. You'd better get dressed. Call us when you are done."
"Bella love, we have to get dressed Alice says they are almost here." Bella blushed at this but made no move to get dressed. When I tried to get up she pulled me down.
"I want Rosalie to see us together again Edward. I know it is silly but I want her to know that you are mine. Last time we never meant it to be real but this time it's real and she would see the evidence." It was my turn to be embarrassed. I was surprised that Bella was being so bold and at the same time I did indeed want all doubts in Rosalie's mind cleared about our relationship. Her thoughts today had been a bit confusing for me. And I was suspicious about her motives for wanting to come today to be with Bella. I decided to stay where I was in bed with Bella holding her close to me. If Bella wanted to do this I would go along with her. After all we were fully covered by the comforter.
"As you wish my love." I whispered in her ear kissing her ear lobe. I phoned Alice asking her to come in. I was very glad that the room was sound proof even to vampires.
"My my brother dearest what happened to my shy Victorian brother?" Alice's thoughts were incredulous as she jumped in through the window followed by Rosalie.
"Oh sorry Edward, we thought you were ready to leave." Alice said with faked innocence winking at Bella turning her head so that Rosalie could not see her wink.
"Well, as you see I got a bit delayed." I managed to croak out in a husky voice barely audible as I struggled to keep in a moan as Bella suddenly grabbed hold of Edward junior stroking him lightly. That was it I wasn't going to be able to talk anymore. I closed my eyes trying desperately to hide what Bella was doing to me from my two sisters. I had caught them in much more compromising situations with barely a stitch on them over the years. But right now I felt very embarrassed and my need to release was overwhelming with the way Bella was touching me so intimately. I could hear Alice's barely suppressed giggles as she moved around the room tidying up. I finally managed to open my eyes to see Rosalie staring at my heap of clothes in shock. Her emotions were running riot in her mind. It was a mixture of jealously, sadness and surprise. She masked her thoughts as soon as she realised that I would read them; thinking again about Vera.
"I'll get the washing from down stairs Bella. Come on Rosalie." I heaved a sigh in barely suppressed relief when the pixie spoke to Bella.
"Oh one more thing Bella, You have ten minutes till we get back upstairs and you'd better have my brother up and ready to go all dressed by the time we come up. Or I might have to forcefully dress him and throw him out." This time the pixie winked at me. She dragged a still dazed looking Rosalie out of the room. As soon as the door closed I tried to get up but Bella tightened her hold on Edward junior. I groaned.
"Bella, what are you trying to do to me? I can't hold it in any longer. I have to get dressed now love." I had barely finished speaking when I saw her suddenly dipping under the covers and the next thing I felt was her wet tongue against me.
"Bella….oh dear god." That was it before I could do anything else I had released. I had already been at the point of no return with her soft touches. Her tongue against me had been too much.
"I'm so sorry Bella…oh god." I quickly pulled up a giggling Bella from under the covers.
"You taste good Edward." I shuddered. She had licked me and this time she had got a taste of my release too. I was feeling shy and at the same time aroused by the thought she liked it.
"Oh Bella… what am I going to do with you love?" I kissed her passionately and tasted myself on her. It was very arousing. I wanted more but remembered Alice's warning. I knew she wouldn't carry it out and she was only teasing but I wanted to be dressed before they got back upstairs. I dashed across the room and pulled my clothes on at vampire speed then grabbed a pyjama kit for Bella and dressed her init. She still kept giggling.
"What's so funny?" I asked Bella.
"You should have seen your face and Rosalie's when Alice threatened to dress you!."
"She was only joking." I smiled at her.
"I know. But all the same you both looked so shocked." I had to admit I had been shocked at first knowing how unpredictable the pixie could be but her wink had told me that she had been joking.
I found it very difficult to leave Bella's side to go hunting but I finally said good bye to my sisters and Bella and left to join Carlisle for the hunt.
I wished that I was with her tonight remembering the day before and the afternoon at the meadow. Soon I promised myself… soon she would be my wife and I could freely be with her without worrying about hurting her and she could come with me when I went hunting.
….
As always would love to hear from you.
