When morning finally came around, Esme and I decided to get up and see what everyone else had planned for today.

As soon as we left the room, Alice was in front of us. "We're all going swimming, want to come?

"Sure." I smiled.

We went to get changed and we walked outside where everyone was arguing.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Carlisle, look." Esme pointed to 6 jet skis.

I looked straight at Emmett. "Really? What inspired you to buy jet skis?"

"Well we were bored last night, so Edward, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Melody and I went to Rio and got these babies." Emmett had a large smile on his face. "There was an ad on TV."

"Stupid…" Esme said quietly.

"Oh come on Esme, it's not that bad. One for each couple. Rose and I got the green one."

We let everyone else take their pick. They all went to try them out.

Esme turned to me. "You drive."

"I have a feeling these will turn out to be a very bad experience."

She smiled and dragged me over to the purple Jet Ski.

All of the guys were driving, and Edward and Emmett decided they wanted to race.

"Hey Carlisle you in?" Emmett asked.

"No." Esme answered before me.

They laughed at her before starting their race.

Esme pointed to a nearby island. "Let's go over there, see if anyone has claimed it in the past years."

I smiled. Esme's adventurous side was showing, something that was so rare lately.

It took us what seemed like a very long time to get there but it wasn't too long. Esme had been resting her head on my back, with her arms around my waist.

"The water is so beautiful." She said.

"Much like you my darling."

"You're getting worse with old age…"she laughed.

"Just accept the compliment."

"Thank you?"

I laughed. "We're here."

I got off and held my hand out to help her. She took it and jumped down.

We walked onto the beach when a gust of wind picked up and we caught the scent of two unfamiliar vampires. The others were way too far away for us to call out to them.

"This can't be a coincidence can it? Having more vampires in such a small distance from us?" She asked.

"It's a possibility, just not a very likely one…"

She looked afraid, not knowing who awaited them inside the forest. I squeezed her hand and walked forwards.

We wandered around for a while until we stumbled upon what looked like a camping site.

No one could be seen so we relaxed a little for the moment.

"Can we help you?" A voice said from behind us in the trees.

I turned around and Esme moved closer behind my back, knowing I was her only source of protection. A man and a younger girl appeared from the darkness the trees supplied.

"I'm Carlisle, this is my wife Esme. We own an island nearby with our family and decided to come explore here."

"Dean. This is my adopted daughter, Clara."

Clara looked to be about 17. Their eyes were golden like ours, considering where they lived, I didn't expect red.

"I'm sorry, we were not aware the area had been claimed."

"It's not a problem. We don't mind company." Clara said.

"I see you hunt animals as well." Dean said.

"Yes, I didn't like hunting humans, so I decided animals were a good substitute. I brought Esme and our children into this lifestyle as well." I explained.

"Does your wife not speak?" Dean seemed wary of us.

I looked at Esme but she continued to stay silent.

"She doesn't have much confidence around strangers; we've had bad experiences in the past."

They didn't say anything.

"Well, we best be on our way." I said.

"Feel free to return any time." Clara smiled.

I nodded and we walked back to the beach.

I got onto the Jet Ski and pulled Esme up.

We went back to Isle Esme, where the family was still on the water.

"So it was a coincidence?" Esme asked me once we were back on our beach.

"I think so. Did they seem suspicious to you?"

She shook her head. "Dean sounded slightly territorial though."

"Well, we are animals…"

She smiled and grabbed my hand. I followed her as she walked into the water.

Esme leaned backwards into my chest and we watched our family.

Emmett and Jasper were throwing a ball at each other while still driving the Jet Skis, Alice and Rosalie had jumped off and were talking while laying on lylos, Edward, Seth and Jacob were driving around together, racing and circling.

We watched as Renesmee jumped off the Jet Ski and she swam over to us.

"Hey, Mami, I'm really sorry about last night. I shouldn't have talked to you like that." She said.

"Its fine, sweetheart." She smiled.

Renesmee hugged her, and then smiled at me.

"Go have fun, kiddo." I said. She swam back over to Jacob and he pulled her back up.

Esme turned around in my arms and planted a long kiss on my lips. She stood on her toes so that her mouth was near my ear.

"Let's go set up a fire, the boys will be ecstatic."

I smiled and nodded.

We walked away from the water and my fingers intertwined with hers. I looked down at her. Her eyes were getting darker because she hadn't hunted in a while, her hair was messy but it looked beautiful, she looked beautiful.

I got lost in her eyes when she looked up at me and I didn't register what was happening. I couldn't think of anything else except how stunning my wife was and how much I loved her.

"Carlisle, are you okay?" She stopped walking.

I snapped back to reality. "What?"

"Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm great. I was just admiring how perfect you are."

She smiled and kissed me.
