Elena Swan/Cullen in Breaking Dawn part 1

Travel, isle Esme and preparations before a midnight swim.

Elena's POV: (Opening thoughts)

Okay so now we're in Rio and Edward has given no clues to where we are stopping, and if it's here. I mean we've been on two plane... give a hint.

*Elena Cullen in Breaking Dawn part 1*

"So are we staying in Rio?" I ask him as we head towards the taxi's outside the airport.

"I'm not telling," he tells me.

I glare at him. He knows I hate surprises.

We sit in the back of the taxi, he has his arm around my shoulders and I am staring out of the window at all the happenings of Rio. He is looking out the opposite side window but I can feel his eyes on me every now and then.

Samba music is all over the streets. People are dancing and it looks quite funny. I glance at Edward and we both smile before we turn back to look back at our respective windows. I see more dancing going on. I glance at Edward again and he smiles at me before he says something to the driver that I do not understand.

The driver pulls over for some reason. Edward climbs out of the car and takes my hand to pull me out as well. He takes us through the dancing crowd, making me laugh as to dodge one woman he even lifts my hand over her head.

He leads me to where people are dancing and then he places his hand on the side of my face. We then kiss deeply. Maybe marriage isn't too bad so far.

I am beginning to doubt if even Edward knows where we are going. I am now sat in a boat as Edward finishes placing his bags in the boat and I stare up at him as he gets into the boat besides me.

"So we're not staying in Rio?" I ask him hoping for any hint as to where we are going.

"No we're just passing through," he tells me shaking his head as he prepares to start the boat.

I hope that we are not far as we ask. "Are we close?"

He doesn't answer as he chuckles and starts the boat. I stare out into the boiling hot night as water sprays around us, the boat powers through it to wherever we are going next.

We are going for about half an hour when he points out a little Island in the middle of the sea. "That's Isle Esme. It was a gift from Carlisle."

We pull up to Isle Esme where there is lights leading to the most beautiful house from what I can see. Their is fairy lights leading up to it and it blends in with the island so well.

I take my shoes off and walk across the sand. We get to the door but Edward puts down the suitcases and picks me up bridal style causing me to squeal.

I stare into his eyes as he begins to carry me over the threshold. "Is this totally necessary?"

He smirks as he answers. "I'm nothing if not traditional."

No arguments here but his traditions are a little old fashioned. I do like the door as it swivels as he pushes against it so we can get through.

Once he puts me down I glance around at the furniture that seems to suit this place down to a T. I glance at him to see he is smiling. I smile back and look around at the chairs, sofa, tv, fruit basket and table that are all in the living room.

Even the bushes I can see out of the open view, wide windows go well with this place.

"You wanna take a look around?" Edward asks me.

I look back at him and nod as he goes to grab our suitcases from the porch. I smile widely as I carry on and see a sofa against a wall, with plants all around it. Nice but different. I carry my shoes with me as I head for the bedroom.

A king size, white bed is in the middle, with white curtains surrounding it. I touch the curtains as I think about our plans for tonight. I am a little nervous.

I place my shoes down. Edward comes in looking uncertain for some reason. He glances at the bed as he places the suitcases down. I smile sheepishly as I look at the bed.

"You tired?" He asks me. I am anything but tired more like. I shake my head and take his hands. "Do you wanna go for a swim?"

Maybe that'll help with my nerves. "Yeah that sounds nice... I could use a few human minutes."

He smirks and chuckles a little. He kisses the top of my head.

"Don't take too long, Mrs Cullen," he tells me as he pulls back.

That feels weird. I chuckle. "Okay."

He opens the door that goes from the bedroom, outside onto the beach. I see him begin to untuck his shirt.

I grab my toiletries bag and head for the bathroom.

*Elena Cullen in Breaking Dawn part 1*

I get into the bathroom and place my bag on the sink where there is also a mirror. I want to make this as easy as possible for both of us.

I exhale deeply and stare at my reflection in the mirror for a few seconds.

"Okay," I say to myself as I remind myself... This is what I wanted.

I open the bag and the first thing I do is give my teeth a thorough brush. After I have finished and rinsed my mouth out... I then take my comb and brush through my hair that is a little knotted from all the pins and clips in it at the wedding.

I take my ring off as I begin to wash my hands. I wash all up my arms. I put my hand to my head as I begin to worry a little. Oh screw this. Let's just have a proper wash.

After a shower, I sit on the side of the bath and shave my legs. Then I go to find some loose clothes.

"ALICE!" I gasp in shock as all I find is frilly, and kinky clothes. I go wide eyed as I see nothing that is like my regular Pj's. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I sit on the floor and I put my hands on my head as I bow my head. After a second to collect myself. I decide what to do. "Don't be a coward!"

I scoff and shake my head at my own antics. Then I take a deep breath and abandon my suitcase and keep the towel wrapped around my abdomen instead.

*Elena Cullen in Breaking Dawn part 1*

I head out onto the beach just in the towel and see Edwards blue shirt there. I look down at the towel around my waist before dropping it alongside his shirt.

Then I head out int the water where he is waiting for me, staring at the moon, also naked.

When I finally reach him I stand to his left side. He places his arm around my waist as I stare at the moon. He however stares at me.

"You're so beautiful," he tells me and I turn to him. I hope I am not blushing. We are married now.

I turn to him before placing my right hand on the right side of his face. We then turn to each other and kiss deeply. When we pull away from each other he stares into my eyes seriously.

"I promised that we'd try," he tells me as seriously as his expression. "If this doesn't work..."

I stare back so he knows I am serious. "I trust you..."

We begin to kiss again and he picks me up and I wrap my arms around his waist.

And so it begins.
