I left Carlisle's office and found Rosalie sitting by the fireplace reading a book. The rest of the family had went out to hunt. They were alone aside from Esme and Carlisle.

"Rosalie, babe?" She looked up with a smile and he sat next to her. "Got a minute for your monkey man?" He asked with a grin.

[Rosalie Hale]

*closing my book, I sat it aside and smiled up at Em as he sat down next to me. I turned to face him, placing my hand on his thick muscular thigh.

"Emmett love, I have all of infinity for you"

I studied his hard face. Looked into his eyes. I didn't need to be able to read minds like Edward to know that he had been so worried about me. Nessie brought so much joy into my world but on the other hand, her coming into my life just reminded me that I will never be a mother. I shall never know the love of a child.

"what is wrong Emmett? What do you have on your mind monkey" I asked teasing him.

[Emmett Cullen]

I kissed her nose, then placed my finger under her chin to lift her mouth to mine. "I have you on my mind." I said as I pulled back slightly, then went back into her lips. Before it got too hot I had to break the kiss and grumble.

"I know it's short notice, but...I want you to pack. You and I are going away...together...alone. I figured a vacation would do us good....what do you say, babe?"

He held her small hand in his as he waited for her reaction.

[Rosalie Hale]

*I frowned as he pulled out of our kiss. Hearing him ask if I wanted to go away with him, I couldn't help but think about being away from Nessie. I hated the thought of not seeing her everyday but I loved the thought of going away with my husband. Just the two of us. As much as I would hate not seeing my niece everyday, that is probably what I needed. Bella was getting stronger every day and I knew deep down that she would never hurt her child, so my days of caring for her were over. She was with her mother and father now. So time away might help heal this pain I felt inside.

"Oh baby, yes, yes I would love to go away you. We haven't been alone together in such a long time. Plus it would be nice not to have to deal with all these dogs that hang around here so much"

I wrinkled my nose as I said the word "dogs" which made Emmett laugh.

"So, where are you taking me my love?" I stole another kiss before her could answer me*

[Emmett Cullen]

I felt pleased when she seemed delighted about going away, slightly hesitant but I understood why. Letting out a laugh as I stood, the way Rose got along with the wolves was very entertaining.

I helped her up from the sofa as she stole a kiss after asking where we were going. "Well now, what kind of surprise would it be if I told you, babe?" I teased her. "Why don't you just go pack, I know you have to bring...everything." He said with a sly smile, wondering how long it would take her to pack. His bet was under ten minutes.

[Rosalie Hale]

*Poking him in the ribs at his little packing joke.

"Hey, a girl has to be prepared for anything. I can't live in jeans and t-shirts like you"

I winked at him before giving him another kiss, this one very slow and deep. Pulling back I looked him in the eyes.

"Have I told you have amazing you are and how much I love you?"

He smiled at me and kissed me lighting before telling me I was the amazing one and that he loved me more. I hugged him tight before turning to go pack. I couldn't wait to be alone with him. This is just what the two of us needed*

[Emmett Cullen]

When she kissed my lips again it was just...breathtaking. I loved this woman so much. Laughing at her t-shirt joke, then receiving another sweet kiss. "No, babe...you're the amazing one. And no...not lately." I said with a wink and smile, before watching her run off to pack.

I went up to our room and grabbed the passports, stash of cash, credit cards, keys and quickly packed my small bag of basic needs. While she packed I stepped outside to call the airline to schedule last minute flights.

As we said goodbye to the family, the rest getting back from their hunt, we learned of Renee coming to see Bella. I gave Bella my best regards and wished I could be there to embarrass her some more, but figured she'd kill me if I had. After wishing them luck, we passed Charlie on the way out. Rose never stopped smiling.

After the plane ride, and the drive through Rio, Rosalie knew where we were. We'd stayed on Esme's Island a couple times throughout the years. Never did it get old though. Always a bill at the end for damages, but Esme didn't mind. We'd always paid to fix things. I laughed to myself as I thought about our bouts and romps in the woods. She'd walk around the house nude too. She asked me why I was grinning like the Cheshire cat and I just laughed again.

"Thinking of our memories, babe. And the ones we'll make here again. I want you to free your mind. Relax and enjoy it...okay?" I helped her, like the gentleman that I am, into the boat as I sped the way to the island. The sun shone bright on us as our skin glistened like a prism.

Finally as I stopped the boat and flew out, landing "gracefully" on my heels, I wrapped my arms around her waist and picked her up. "You're all mine, Rosalie Hale....All mine...." I began heading towards the house.

[Rosalie Hale]

*Em had went to great lengths to keep where we were headed a secret but as soon as the plane landed, I knew where we were. I had missed this place and was glad to get back to the island. I followed my husband to the car that was waiting to take us to the boat. We sat in the back, his arm around me, holding me close. Watching out the window as the scene flew past. Looking back at my handsome mate I see that beautiful smile of his. Asking what had him smiling like the Cheshire cat, he tells me that he was just thinking of our last trips to the island. I had to smile cause I knew just what he was talking about. After a quick ride through the city, we were at the dock where the Cullen boat was stored. Like always he helped me onto the boat and off we were. The wind blowing through my hair, my husband by my side. This was prefect. He knew just what we needed. I couldn't ask for a better man to spend my life with. Finally we pulled up at the dock below the house. My monkey man was out of the boat and reaching for my hand before I had time to stand up. "You're all mine, Rosalie Hale...All mine" He said as he helped me from the boat. Standing face to face with him I answered "No, here I am a Cullen. Mrs. Emmett Cullen" I kissed him before following him up towards the house*

[Emmett Cullen]

I nodded at her correction. "Noted, babe...Mrs. Emmett Cullen." I quickly turned as we approached the steps, I picked her up and hoisted her over my shoulder. I was always the playful one, but knew that's what she loved. She couldn't deny it...I made her knees weak. I had a slight burn in my throat, but another hunger grew. The one where I wanted to be alone with my wife, in our little world. Nothing but nature.

She giggled as I carried her in tarzan style into the glass revolving door. Seeing the white ottoman waiting vacantly as I tossed her down on her back and grinned as I crawled closer to her lips.

[Rosalie Hale]

*I felt myself being hoisted up and over his broad shoulder. I couldn't help but giggle like a school girl as he carried me through the huge glass door. He tossed me down and I felt the ottoman give a little "Take it easy big boy, we can't start breaking things so soon" I teased as he crawled his way up and over my body. When he was face to face with me, I encased his lips with my. Things had been so crazy back home the last few years, well since Bella had came into our lives, it felt as if Em and I hadn't been together in a way that a husband and wife should be. We spend most of our time pretending to be kids, putting on an act for the people back home, to hide our true identity. Here we can be ourselves in our little hide-a-way. I could let my hair down sorta speak. I let my hands travel up his back and into his thick dark hair. "Thank.....you" I said in between kisses. "You never seize to amaze me' I stared into his beautiful golden eyes. I was so lucky. How in the world did I ever manage to deserve him? Let's face it, I am not the nicest person. Somewhat bitter at times, but he brought out the best in me. He saw something in me that I didn't see myself. He believed me to be prefect, when I was far from it. "Emmett, you are my soul, you are my reason for being. I truly do not deserve you my love"

[Emmett Cullen]

I grinned and shook my head. "Who said anything about breaking things, and since when do you care?" I said as I wiggled my brows playfully at her. Then a serious look crossed my eyes as she kissed me. Her kisses were like...warm apple pie your grandma used to make, hot chocolate by the fireplace in January, the smell of spring flowers beginning to bloom. Happiness all rolled into one.

She thanked me...wow. I'm the one who should thank her. She saved my life in every way imaginable. She gave me reason, gave me love, and she gave me friendship. Listening to her sweet voice talk about being her soul and reason for being, made me fall in love with her all over again.

"Now that's where you're wrong...I know for a fact we deserve one another, why? Because it was written for us...I would be half the man I am today without you by my side." And with that I took her lips to mine without letting her say another word. The sun shining through the windows, hitting our skin making it dazzle. Luggage be damned, I was not moving from this spot until the stars fell from the sky. Or until she made me, I thought with a grin.
