AN- This is starting to become my writer's block story. If you know me, you know I spend most of my time zoning out, thinking about random stories, and inventing my own characters. However, no matter what, I can't WRITE any of my ideas down. Which is exactly why I would never be able to become an author. Anyway, I think this will be a series of one-shots about "missing" Cullen moments. I take suggestion, if you really want a moment. If this somehow gets successful I may add some "missing" Pack moments too...Now, onto the one-shot!

DISCLAIMER- Everything in italics are from Breaking Dawn. I do NOT own the Twilight series.

"Woo!" Emmett suddenly boomed in his deep bass. "Go Gators!"

Jacob and Charlie jumped. The rest of us froze.

Charlie recovered, then looked at Emmett over his shoulder. "Florida winning?"

"Just scored the first touchdown," Emmett confirmed. He shot a look in my direction, wagging his eyebrows like a villain in vaudeville. "Bout time somebody scored around here."

I fough back a hiss. In front of Charlie? That was over the line. But Charlie was beyond noticing innuendos. He took another deep breath, sucking the air in like he was trying to pull it down to his toes. I envied him. He lurched to his feet, stepped around Jacob, and half-fell into an open chair.

"Well," he sighed, "I guess we should see if they can hold onto the lead."

For once, I secretly thanked Emmett. One, because it was enough to distract Charlie from this already-awkward conversation. Two, because Charlie seemed to distracted to notice Emmett's ways of thinking. It sure is a good thing Charlie can't read any of our minds.

We all sat in our normal positions on in the Cullen household living room. All, except Esme. She made an excuse about clean around our house(more like mansion), however, even Charlie was hesitant about that. The only messes this house has ever had, were made by me. Well, when I was still human...

I loosened my hold on Renesmee, so she could have move to squirm a little. That's what babies did, right?

Suddenly, Emmett was no longer as interested int he game as he was a minute ago.

"Hey, Bella, you wouldn't know the time, would you?"

Edward was right, for some reason time didn't matters as much to me as it did when I was human. I used to rely on the time to tell me everything; when to eat, sleep, go to school, etc. When you have forever, does it really matter. I don't think I've even looked at a clock since I was human.

"No, I don't have my watch on me."

"Oh, that's okay, probably to slow to take off...unlike other items..."

I narrowed my eyes at him, and interrupted before he could finish.

"Actually, Emmett, I-"

This time I was cut off by Charlie. He had, not-so-subtly checked his watch.

"Yeah, it's about 11:30.."

"Okay, thanks Charlie. If was bothering me for a while."

After that conversation died down, it soon became quiet. If it were just Charlie and me, it would've been a comfortable silence. However, the 6 extra vampires made it a little more awkward. Plus the half human/half vampire beautiful child that happened to be staring at Charlie with a look of guilt and hunger. I didn't need Jasper to know she was feeling more guilty. I whispered in her ear,

"Don't worry, Renesmee, we all feel that. It's perfectly natural, just don't act on it. Okay, angel?"

She subtly put her hand of my neck and I heard an, okay momma. She finished her statement with a smile. She didn't show her teeth, though. I could tell she would be the picture perfect daughter every family wants. I knew I didn't deserve it. What had I done to get a perfect fairytale ending like this? Plus, she'll be in constant danger with us. With nomads, newborn armies, the Volturi...she had been born into a family that will do anything for her, but at what cost? Her safety? I gave her a comforting smile back at her.

Nobody else seemed to notice our silent conversation. I smirked to myself, I was getting at this vampire stuff. Then I remembered I needed to act human around Charlie. So I blinked and recrossed my legs. Edward noticed this and gave me a supporting smile my way. Altogether about 30 seconds had passed since the conversation had ended. So, Charlie hadn't noticed or didn't want to notice our little exchange.

I waited another 30 seconds, and blinked again. I also fixed my hair, like the way Rosalie did. She noticed this and winked my way, and I winked right back at her.

This went on for another 10 minutes before the first quarter ended.

Charlie, oddly, started the conversation. "So, not much action huh?"

Emmett grinned and I saw this coming before it came out of his mouth.

"We usually get a lot of action here, but ever since Bella came things have changed a lot..." He wiggled his eyebrows, finishing the statement.

"I don't exactly follow.." Charlie eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

I cut Emmett off before he could explain. "Don't worry, Charlie, Emmett's just upset that he will lose in our arm wrestling contest soon."

Emmett's mouth hung wide open and he scoffed. "Dream on, little sister, dream on!"

"We'll wait and see who the real winner is. She won't gloat too much."

"Fine, and don't worry, the man that wins will gloat, a lot." He smirked.

Charlie just shook his head, dazed. He probably thought I was crazy. How would his 120 pound daughter be able to beat a massive think muscled Emmett? Now that I thought about it, it did seem odd...

After a while Renesmee started to yawn. In a matter of seconds she fell asleep in my arms. Rosalie suggested that we turn of the game so "Nessie" could sleep. Emmett almost rejected that offer, but a glare from Rosalie and me made him think otherwise. Charlie didn't put up much of a protest. Carlisle left to go upstairs and claimed that he had some research to do. That left Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett in living room with Charlie, Renesmee, and me.

It was already about 3 pm and I realized that Charlie hadn't eaten yet.

"Charlie, you must be starved! Is there anything you want to eat?" I sounded a lot like Esme in that sentence...

"Nah, I'm good...I ate before I left." Charlie assured me. "Shouldn't you be hungry?"

"Uhm...we don't really eat like you think, Charlie..."

"Oh, gotcha..." He trailed off and was followed by awkward silence. If only he knew what we did "eat".

Edward excused himself to the piano. He's been writing a song for Renesmee. It was already perfect, but he wanted to make some ajustment to make it even better suited for her. It made me wonder how long my song took to make...

Charlie marveled, "I didn't know you played the piano, Edward!"

"He plays many instruments, Charlie. Some probably wouldn't be called "instruments' in your terms-" I could see where Emmett was going and stopped him in his tracks.

"Hey, Emmett, didn't you say you wanted to go for a hike today?" I pressed my question. My tone made it known that he needed to go. Now.

"I don't remember saying-" He was cut off by Jasper.

"Yeah, I remember, you said the weather was supposed to be perfect. You wanted to go with Rose! You know? Have a nice picnic.." I so owed Jasper for this and I knew he was in for it when Emmett returned.

Rosalie was with Jasper. "Now is the perfect time! Let's go pack a basket." Just as she finished her statement, Esme came into the room with a blanket and a picnic basket. My human eyes wouldn't be able to notice, but the basket was empty. I knew what they would be doing while they were gone, and I'm sure everybody did.

"Here, already packed. Go enjoy yourselves!" Esme seemed anxious to get them out. Maybe trying to make Charlie seem more comfortable?

Emmett could see that he was defeated and was about to sigh, until Rose winked at him. The human pace they had was not fast enough for him. With a quick "Later, guys!", he was gone. Esme excused herself again. That just left Alice, Jasper, Charlie, and me.

Jasper immediately struck up a conversation with Charlie about Charlie's job and gave the distraction Alice wanted me to have.

"Jasper's been sensing that you've been annoyed, guilty, angry, and worried. I can understand annoyed...but why should you be so upset, Bella?" Alice said this in a slick, and quiet manner. I doubt Charlie noticed.

"It's just...Renesmee doesn't get a normal life. She's going to face dangers even adults can't handle. At the rate she's growing, she'll be dead before she's 20 years old!" Alice gave me a comforting hug and waited for me to calm down.

"The only danger she needs to worry about is if she gets your clumsy genes. Carlisle will find a way to stop her aging, and we'll protect her from anything and anybody. You'll have a perfect life. The hard parts are over. Okay?"

I keep repeating those things in my head. They just don't make sense. I just nodded my head to Alice and sat down on a chair near the fire place. Alice was right, she always is and will be right. You should never bet against Alice. For the next hour that's all I concentrated on. It wasn't until Renesmee shifted and I realized she had woken up. I hope she hasn't been awake too long. She would've gotten bored. There was no way to tell, though. I looked around. Emmett and Rosalie had gotten back from their "picnic" and we're now building a house of cards. Alice and Jasper were gazing into each others eyes on the staircase. Carlisle was busy reading on the couch, next to Esme, who was sketching on a notepad. Jacob and Seth were in the kitchen, no doubt feasting on whatever Esme made them. I shifted Renesmee to my left arm, and she got herself cozy again.

Seth came out of the kitchen and announced, "You gonna stand Billy and my mom up, Charlie? C'mon. Bella and Nessie'll be here tomorrow. Let's go get some grub, eh?"

"Yeah, I guess. Oh, and Bella, if you're ever sick like that again, I'm going to visit you. No matter what. Got it?" Charlie demanded.

"Charlie, we both know I wasn't really-"

"Need to know..." Charlie pleaded.

"Right." That would take some getting used to. We both walked to the door. By now, Renesmee had fallen asleep again.

"I don't know how much we should tell Renee about this," Charlie said, hesitating with one foot out the door. He stretched, and then his stomach growled.

I nodded. "I know. I don't want to freak her out. Better to protect her. This stuff isn't for the fainthearted."

His lips twisted up to the side, ruefully. "I would have tried to protect you, too, if I'd known how. But I guess you've never fit into the fainthearted category, have you?"

I smiled back, pulling a blazing breath in through my teeth.

Charlie patted his stomach absently. "I'll think of something. We've got time to discuss this, right?"

"Right," I promised him.
