Bella sat in the study at their cottage and looked through maps of the world, trying to decide on a place. It was all her fault, if she'd just controlled herself they maybe wouldn't have to move away so soon. It killed her to see how upset Renesmee was about it all and refused to move. They had until Friday to decide their new locations and she couldn't find anywhere she'd be happy. Not with knowing that it would hurt Renee and Charlie to never see her because she'd never age. Charlie maybe, considering he knew. Him knowing put him in danger every day.
Hearing footsteps behind her she identified them as Edwards and continued flipping through the books. He leaned down and moved her hair off of her shoulder, kissing her neck. "Are you ready to tell me?" She asked without moving, determined to know what caused his outburst at the Reunion.

Edward had been having a discussion with Emmett and Jasper, he had told them what he had heard from Mike Newton that had made him react the way he did at the reunion. He was practically forced to tell them as Emmett held him in a lock that he didn't try to escape, he wasn't in the mood for play fights. After encouragement from them both, he knew that he had to tell Bella, as she constantly persisted on wanting to know what had made him act the way he did.
As he entered the cottage, he searched out Bella and found her in the study, sweeping her hair from her shoulder as he gently placed a kiss on her neck as he saw that she was staring at maps. He avoided her question as he cast a glance over the maps.
"Have you chosen where you would like to go?" he asked, trying to dis-sway her from her question.

She stopped flipping and looked over her shoulder at him, knowing he was avoiding the question. That was okay, she had her ways of getting to him and she would use his gift against him. She sighed and turned back to the book, "I don't know, there are so many places I've never been. One things certain, I think we can avoid Italy all together. Swan Island was nice, but I'm not sure if Nessa would be happy there." She dropped her shield as she spoke and replayed images of their love-making in her mind. The first time, the time in the rain on Swan Island, right here on this desk, the first time after her transformation. It was like a slideshow of images, she even got evil and thought about the way she looked wearing the newest Alice purchased lingerie from Paris. "Oh, Paris...that sounds nice." She said with a smirk.

"I am sure Renesmee will learn to love it there, just as we did, although you didn't take much persuading if i remember" he smirked as he kissed the side if her neck again.
He then suddenly felt his mind flood with images of their time on the island, wrapped in each other's embrace, it was enough to send him made as he tried to block them out, but Bella had grown into her gift and could now over power his barrier that he had learned to build up over the years, something that Carlisle had taught him years ago.
"Your gift...is a blessing and a curse in disguise" he smirked.

She grinned and quickly stood, turning to face him. "I could say the same thing about yours. I know you heard something, something Mike thought angered you, now what was it Edward? Tell me...I have a right to know why my husband punched someone in the nose, a human with not even a forth of the strength you have."

Edward hesitated a moment, he could recall every single vile thought that he had heard from Newton's mind, knowing that Bella wouldn't let it go. He sighed heavily as he gazed into her eyes.
"It was...It was something that no one would dare think again about my wife. Our sex life is no one's business than our own...and of course Emmett" he joked a little.
He wasn't prepared to tell her exactly what he had said, but hoped that would be enough for her to let it go.

She stepped closer to him and looked up with a shake of her head, "Our...sex life?" She grinned and pursed her lips in thought. There were many different things that could mean but she wanted to hear it straight from his mouth. "What exactly did Mike Newton think of our sex life that threw you over the edge? He's engaged to Jessica anyway, it shouldn't bother you." Maybe she was missing something all together.

Edward sighed in frustration as he turned from Bella and sat himself down on the couch, his head resting in his hands as they ran through his hair as he hated to remember what he had heard from Newton's mind.
"Are you going to make me repeat it Bella?" I can barely stand to hear it over and over in my mind what he thought. Now you want me to say it?" he sighed heavily.

She watched him move gracefully across the room to the couch and place his head in his hands. She hated to torture him so much but she wanted to know, curiosity had now peaked and she needed to know what got him so riled up. "Did he question your ability?" Bella asked, trying to figure it out. "Wonder what I was like in bed? Wish it were him?" All the things she'd thought it could have been as she quizzed him, searching for answers.

"Bella, i can take what everyone thinks at me. I have lived with for over a hundred years. Girls fantasies of being with me, you couldn't imagine all the thoughts that humans girls have...But no it was not my ability. It-It was about your ability...Now no more questions please Bella. I wish to forget it" he sighed again,
One of the things he loved about Bella was her knowledge to know more, but this was not a time he wished for it. He wished that she would leave it alone at that, but if he knew Bella she would want to know the exact words that he heard.

She listened to his words and saw how it was affecting him, he wouldn't say...it was about her ability and that intrigued her more. She could care less what Mike Newton thought, but for Edward to punch him, it had to be...bad. Making her way over to the couch she knelt in front of him and cupped his face into her hands. "I know you want to forget it ever happened, but if involves me don't you think I have a right to know what this man thought of me? Be it good or bad, I'm...curious." Maybe reaching common ground would help, Edward and his compromises. "I'll tell you what, if you tell me....I'll help pick a place and be happy about moving. Deal?"

"Your so stubborn" he almost smirked, he hated that Bella was going to persist him on what he heard from Newton's mind, he didn't want to discuss it anymore, but he knew Bella wouldn't let it drop. "Bella...Can we not leave it, please. I don't wish to think of it anymore. And we both know that Jasper can't focus on keeping me sane every day. Now, we need to choose somewhere for us to go. Have you had any idea's?" he finished. He hated that he kept changing the subject to moving away from Forks, but they needed a destination.

She sighed and moved back to the desk with the map of the world laid out. Placing her fingers on the paper she smiled softly, "Anywhere with you and Nessa are home to me. Why pick one place, why not travel and see the world. Then we can settle somewhere and I can finish getting my degree and you can get your....hundredth degree or something." She chuckled and kept her eyes down, hating that he refused to tell her what Mike had thought but knowing it affected him this badly she had to respect his wishes and drop it. Eventually he'd tell her, eventually. Or...maybe not, either way, it made her smile inside to see him stand up for her. The way Mike treated Jessica was awful. Especially if they were engaged, poor girl deserved better.

Edward smirked as he stood from the couch and walked around to get a better view of the map. He had traveled to many places with his family, but had yet to experience it with Bella and Renesmee.
"We could see the Northern lights, maybe even spend some time on Swan Island. I think Renesmee would like it there" he spoke softly, he knew that he and Bella would need to speak to their daughter about these new changes. "And its my 87th degree, several in medicine, law and history. Music has always been a hobby of mine" he smirked as he gently kissed her neck.

Bella grinned and turned her head to the side to give him better access to her neck, his kisses taking her mind off of everything else which was probably his goal. Closing her eyes she bit her bottom lip and relished in his arms. Her mind swimming with his scent. "I guess that's what we'll tell Carlisle and the others at the meeting."
She turned in his arms and opened her eyes. "I have to talk to Charlie....soon. I have to explain everything to him." Placing a hand on his cheek she smiled softly at him. "But I have to do it alone."
