When Dawn Breaks Chapter 23

Bella rolled her hips one last time as her orgasm came to a final shuddering end. She collapsed on top of Rosalie smiling. "I'm glad it didn't take much for you to go against the no funny business rule. I know how against breaking it you were."

Rosalie rolled them over. "Yeah well you are very much the temptress. I could hardly resist. However I believe we should at least put some clothes on before your father gets home."

"Can you at least give me a minute to enjoy the afterglow?" Bella asked.

"Of course sweetheart." Rosalie kissed Bella's cheek as she sat against the headboard not bothering to cover her naked body. She no longer felt the need to shy away when she was exposed to Bella. She knew Bella loved her body and it made Rosalie more confident than ever to show it off for her mate.

Bella sat up next to Rosalie and laid her head on Rosalie's shoulder. "I'm so glad Charlie is ok with you spending the night."

"Me too. I miss our kittens though." Rosalie said. "However I know they are perfectly safe and probably getting tons of attention."

"I love you in mother mode." Bella told her. "But if you get really worried you can go home to check on them or have someone text you pictures and videos to prove they are alright."

Rosalie sighed. "I am worried about them. It will just take some time but I'm slowly getting used to the idea of them not needing me to hover over them to keep them safe all the time."

"You wanting to keep them safe isn't a bad thing. I love your protectiveness. You just can't let it over take your life." Bella reached for Rosalie's hand holding it in her own. "I can't wait to see you with our children. I know they are going to be the happiest kids that ever lived."

Rosalie smiled. "I love hearing you talk about our future children."

"I love thinking about our future children." Bella said. "The idea of us being parents makes me so happy. I can hardly wait until I'm 20."

"Even though I can hardly wait, you are still young sweetheart." Rosalie reminded her. "Let's take this chance to live a little before we have the responsibility. This is our honeymoon period."

"Speaking of our honeymoon period, how about we take time off from school and go to the cabin next week?" Bella asked.

“Do you mean it?" Bella nodded in reply causing Rosalie to pull her into a hug and squeal in excitement.

"That is the greatest sound I have ever heard in my entire life." Bella said laughing.

Rosalie pushed Bella away from her body and scowled."If you dare tell anyone about that I will skin your hide and use it as a rug."

"Oh don't worry sweetheart. I have no plans of revealing your secret girly moments." Bella promised.

"I hate you." Rosalie huffed.

Bella pulled a weakly struggling Rosalie into her arms."No you don't, but let's get back on topic. We could wait for thanksgiving break but I think we should just take a week off from school and go."

"I wish we could just go now but a week isn't that much of a wait. Do you think Charlie will be ok with us going by ourselves?" Rosalie asked

"That's why I want to go next week and not this week." Bella told her. "I want him to have a few days before we ask. That hopefully will get him comfortable with our relationship, because I'm sure he is going to be asking Billy all kinds of questions about it."

"It's kind of nice having Billy around to answer all of Charlie's questions. It would be stressful if it rested on us to explain everything to him." Rosalie snuggled closer to Bella." I definitely wouldn't be welcomed to spend the night without Charlie talking to him."

"Speaking of spending the night." Bella motioned for Rosalie to get up. "We should put some clothes on now."

Rosalie groaned. "When do you think we can officially get our own place?"

"I think I should worry about graduating high school before we worry about getting our own place."Bella tossed Rosalie a shirt. "It's one thing for my dad to allow us to have sleep overs but it's another to have him comfortable with us living on our own."

"Would you want to go back to Arizona and live at the estate or stay here close to your dad?" Rosalie asked as she slid her boxer briefs on.

Bella thought about it for a minute." Well first of all it isn't just what I want. You are an equal part of this relationship, but I wouldn't mind staying around here. Maybe not living with my dad full time though. We could buy or build our own home around here. What do you think?"

"I love the estate you know this.'" Bella nodded and Rosalie continued."But I kind of want something that we have as our own. That we built together. One day I would like to live on the estate with you and our children but for now I think it would be nice to be around our families."

"Should we look for some real estate?" Bella asked. "I mean we could buy a house but I would rather build something we design together."

Rosalie climbed under the covers and held her arms open for Bella. "I know I'm the one saying we shouldn't waste money but in this case I think us buying some land and building our own house is the best idea. If we bought a house we would have to do a lot of remodeling and it would probably not be secluded enough for us.I would prefer to have a home where you are comfortable enough to be able to be in your tiger form anytime you like and not have to worry about humans."

"We would have to wall it in like the Arizona estate."Bella told her.

"This is going to cost a lot of money isn't it." Rosalie groaned.

Bella kissed her on the cheek. "Yes it is. However you need to keep in mind that this is our official family home. Our first step towards building our own little piece of the Shurlong dynasty."

"That's true." Rosalie agreed. "And our children will be raised part of the time there so it isn't a huge waste of money."

"Security and comfort are never a waste of money my love." Bella told her.

"So I guess that settles it." Rosalie said." We are officially looking for property to build our home where we are going to start living our lives as a couple and working on making our family."

Bella turned off the lamp on the side table. " I like the sound of that."

"I do to sweetheart." Rosalie snuggled into Bella. "The idea of us starting our life together fresh makes me really happy."

"Me too."Bella yawned.”Let's get some sleep. Today has worn me out."

"I'm not surprised." Rosalie chuckled. "Today wore me out to and none of the drama came from my family."

"This time." Bella reminded her.

Rosalie sighed. "True, tomorrow is a new day."

Bella chuckled."Good night Rose."

"Good night Bella."
