Morning Dear Readers! Just to let you know, if I wrote an Edward who needed anything other than magnums, I would get kicked out of the fandom!

Location: Cody Wy, to Yellowstone National Park

Prompt: Tent

It was just after six o'clock at night when Edward and Bella parked in their campsite at the Canyon Campground at Yellowstone. They quickly unpacked their gear and began to setup the tent, eager to get everything set before the sun went down. As Bella pumped up their air mattress and then set their sleeping bags upon it, not zipped together, Edward went to the Canyon Village to pick up some supplies.

When Bella climbed out of the tent after everything was ready, Edward was just pulling back into the site. He unloaded a pile of firewood and kindling, in addition to two folding chairs they would use that night around the fire pit.

"There's a pay phone up by the village, so you can call your dad," Edward said in passing as he grabbed his overnight bag from the trunk of the Volvo and put it in the tent. "I was thinking maybe we could go have dinner at the restaurant there and you could call him. I'm sure he wants to know I haven't killed you yet."

"How did you…did you overhear my call the other day?"

"Uh… no. I was making a joke, but now it's not that funny that he thinks I might kill you."

"To your benefit, he's a police officer so he thinks everyone is going to kill me," Bella replied with a smile, trying to ease Edward's fears. She agreed to dinner with Edward and when they got to the restaurant, Bella had Edward wait for her as she called her dad. "Hi Daddy."

"Bells, where are you?" Charlie asked, the concern ripe in his voice.

"Umm… Yellowstone National Park? We took a little side trip."

"Great, so this Edward character can kill you in the woods?" Bella laughed slightly and then handed the phone to Edward.

"Uh… Hello?"

"Is this Edward? I am Chief Charlie Swan with the Forks, Washington Police Department. If you touch one hair on my daughters head…"

"Chief Swan? It's Edward Cullen." Edward was shocked as hell to find out that Bella's father was a man who had been friends with his family and even come over for poker nights with his father.

"Jesus Christ, Edward Cullen. How much of a small world is this?" Charlie replied, his voice now full of laughter, as Bella looked at Edward in surprise, unsure of what was being said on the phone. "Let me tell you how much of a relief it is to know that Bella is on her way home with you. She said she was driving with a man who was going to be a teacher in Seattle."

"Port Angeles actually, but we never got into too much detail, otherwise I would have known Bella was your daughter. This comes as a big surprise to me too."

"Well, I can stop worrying now. When you get back to the area, come see me at the station." Edward was surprised by how downright happy Charlie seemed, especially since his daughter could be so dour. "You have no idea how important it is to us that Bella get back to Forks as soon as she can. You are a lifesaver, Cullen."

Charlie was right; Edward had no idea how important it was for Bella to get home because she hadn't mentioned it to him. If she had said that time was of the essence, than he wouldn't have made this side trip with her or tried to extend their time together. Edward wasn't really keen on letting Bella go just yet, but he also knew she had to get home. He wouldn't let the chief down.

Bella said a quick farewell to her father, who assured her that she was in good hands, and then they went for dinner. The silence was deafening at first until Edward decided he'd had enough.

"I know your dad."

"No shit."

"Don't be upset at me, it's not like I knew you were the Chief's daughter when I picked you up in Rochester. I was just doing a beautiful girl a favor." Bella looked at Edward with a small smile because he had called her beautiful. It had been a long time since anyone had said something so nice to her, especially someone she was attracted to. "I must admit it's nice to know he won't shoot me when I deliver you to Forks."

"Did my dad ever arrest you?"

"No, he didn't. I was a straight shooter in high school."

"That would explain it. I'm guessing you graduated before I did, which was why I had no idea who you were huh? Yeah… I was in the class of 2007. You?

"Class of 2011. I graduated last year and took a year off." He knew it meant she was an adult, but still… she was several years younger than him and he wasn't sure if her age changed how he was beginning to feel about her.

When they got back to the campsite, Edward quickly made a fire as the sun began to set and Bella went about taking photos of the beautiful scenery surrounding them. Once she was finished, they chatted amiably about life back in Forks and the different teachers they loved at high school. Bella told Edward about how Principal Greene had fallen off the stage at graduation because he had been drunk as a skunk and Edward and Bella giggled over his story of how Mrs. Cope and Coach Clapp were found indisposed in the gym supply room during his junior year. Sure, both of them were divorced but it was unheard of for teachers in Forks to begin hooking up.

Before they realized it, it was time to go to bed. Edward quickly changed in the tent while Bella folded up the chairs and placed them back in the Volvo. Once he was finished, he came out to douse the fire while Bella got changed. Edward quickly became impatient, waiting outside for the all okay from Bella.

"Edward?" Bella called as she fidgeted uncomfortably inside the sleeping bag. "I need some help."

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah, I'm good."

Edward unzipped the tent and when he crawled inside, he was relieved to know it was still toasty warm in there. The sun had gone down late in the day, giving the tent some time to heat up under the late afternoon sun. "What seems to be the problem?"

"Uh… I can't zip the sleeping bag down. I'm a bit warm wrapped in the big sleeping bag and I wanted to unzip it a bit, but I think it's stuck."

Edward went over towards Bella's side of the bed and looked down at her sleeping bag. Sure enough, Bella had some fabric bunched up in the zipper and it was jammed in there really well. It took several attempts and a lot of tugging before Edward finally got the fabric free and the zipper pulled down to Bella's feet.

Unfortunately for Edward, he was greeted with an unexpected surprise. Bella was dressed in just a tank top and panties within the bag and he may have stared at her bare skin a little longer than he intended. Edward bid Bella a quick goodnight and climbed under his own sleeping bag, leaving the zipper undone to let in some cool air, hoping it would cause his erection to abate as soon as possible.

Sure enough, Edward and Bella both fell asleep rather quickly and enjoyed a good night's rest. However, what surprised both of them though was when they woke up and though they were still huddled within their individual sleeping bags, Bella's head was buried into Edward's chest and his arm was wrapped tightly around her waist.
