Bella
I walked up slowly towards our front door thinking about what might happen once I've told Charlie about my decision to marry Edward. I played several scenarios over and over again in my head. I wish I'd asked Alice to see what would happen when I finally told Charlie.
"Bells? Is that you?" I heard Charlie call from the living room as I entered the door. Edward had told me that he was in a good mood; possibly because one of his teams one a game.
"Yeah, dad, it's me." I stepped into the living room to find him seated on his favorite chair watching a game of hockey on the TV. "Dad I need to talk to you about something."
He turned to face me with a confused look that quickly turned into realization. He knew what was coming. He had sensed it the day he talked to me about telling him if I was planning on doing anything before telling him.
"I think I know what this is about Bella." He straightened himself on his chair and gestured for me to sit down on the couch. I sat down and faced him and mustered up every ounce of courage that I had to tell him straight on.
"I'm not sorry about this decision, nor will I ever be," I started. "I love Edward more than anything in this world and I've realized that no matter what has happened in the past, he will never leave my side ever again. I hope you will be happy with my decision, if not I pray that you will accept it." I couldn't get the words out but it was clear what I was talking about.
"Are you pregnant Bells?" I blushed at Charlie's assumption but I never let my eyes stray from his face.
"Of course not, dad! I expected that reaction from mom but you?" He chuckled morosely at my reply and went back to being serious.
"I just want you to be happy Bella. You're my only daughter and even though I haven't been much of a father throughout your life, I love you so much. I hope you are sure of your decision and that Edward will make you happier than I've seen you these past few months." Charlie was crying now. I've never seen him this way. I thought that maybe the last time he cried was when Renee left him all those years ago. It broke my heart seeing him like this.
"I've never been so sure of anything my entire life. I'm so happy that you will accept me and Edward. I want nothing more than to have you walk me down the aisle and give my hand to him because you are the only one who owned it before Edward came into my life." I stood up and walked over to Charlie as he nodded and stood up also. I hugged him with all my might knowing that this would be one of the few times I will get to do so before Edward changed me.
"You've grown up so fast these past few years. I love you my beautiful, loving daughter." Charlie and I held on to each other like that for almost half an hour while crying before letting go. He sniffed and wiped his eyes with his sleeve after he let me go.
"I think it's time you told your mother." I nodded as he sat back down and watched one of his games. I walked over to our phone dreading what would come next once I heard Renee's voice on the other line. I picked up the receiver and dialed Renee's home phone number. It was only 9 at Jacksonville so I had no doubt that they were still up. After three rings a male voice answered on the other end of the line.
"Hey, Phil, it's Bella."
"I'll get your mom." I could hear him calling my mother. I wondered what she was doing. I hoped that her reaction would be a bit closer to Charlie's so I wouldn't have any more problems.
"Yes, Bella?" I felt relieved to hear that she was in a good mood. I felt guilty that I might be the reason for spoiling it.
"Hi mom," My voice was cracking. I hoped that I would have had as much composure as I had when I talked to Charlie.
"What's wrong, Bells? Is there a problem?"
"No mom. Completely the opposite." I breathed in as I got ready to tell her the news. "Mom do you remember how you said you noticed how much Edward and I felt for each other?"
"Bella don't…" This was harder than I expected so I cut her off.
"Edward has asked me to marry him and I said yes." There was only silence on the other end. "I know how you feel about this mom, but I am not you and Edward is not Charlie. We love each other very much and I believe that we are making the right decision. I'm not pregnant or anything. We just love each other so much that we have no reason to wait anymore." I waited for her reply and heard her sigh deeply.
"But Bella, you're so young. You just turned eighteen and have so much more ahead of you."
"I see Edward ahead of me. I see our future and I know that it will be great. I'm old enough to know that this is the right decision and it would make me even happier to know that you give us your blessing." Even if Renee was thousands of miles away form me I could feel her pain.
"Nothing would make me happier than to see you happy Bella. I give you my blessing." With that, I started to cry silently while I held the phone and I knew that Renee was doing the same. "I love you Bella."
"I love you too mom. I'll call you again about the wedding arrangements." We said our goodbyes and hung up. I was relieved to know that the hard part was over. I was ready to be Mrs. Edward Masen Cullen. I was happier than I have ever felt.
I cleaned up a bit in the kitchen and said goodnight to Charlie. I knew that by the time he was asleep Edward would be waiting for me in my room. I took a shower and dressed in my night clothes so I wouldn't have to leave Edward later to have one of the few human moments I had left. I heard Charlie scuffling downstairs and go up to his room. After ten minutes or so I peeked outside my room to hear Charlie snoring soundly next door. I turned around and saw my loving fiancée lying down on my bed with his arms propped up behind his head.
"Took you long enough," I giggled as I snuggled next to his cold body. I was actually used to the cold now. It was actually more comforting than the warmth. Still Edward would not allow me to sleep directly beside him for fear of me catching a cold or pneumonia.
"How was your talk with Renee?" he asked me in that smooth velvet voice that never failed to soothe me.
"I'm assuming that you heard everything with Charlie?" I asked raising my eyebrow. He just shrugged and grinned that crooked smile of his. "Well, Renee was a bit apprehensive at first but soon realized that there is nothing that will stop me from being your wife."
"I'm glad that you're happy, Bella. I wouldn't know what to do if either of them had disagreed to what I asked you."
"Well, it's a good thing that they gave us their blessing now, isn't it?" I smiled up at my soon-to-be husband knowing that he felt the exact same way that I did. He gently pulled my face to his and kissed me the way he always did. Soft and gentle but filled with so much love that I still couldn't believe he was capable of giving me.
"Why are you so adamant about not breathing knowing that you are still human?" He chuckled lightly as I realized that I was indeed holding my breath.
"It's because you dazzle me with not only with the way you look at me but with your kisses as well." He rolled his eyes still not believing that he was capable of dazzling me.
"You have no idea how much you amaze me Bella Swan. I love you."
"I love you too." He took the blanket and put it between us so I wouldn't have to feel his cold skin. He rested his head next to mine and hummed my lullaby as I drifted off to sleep dreaming of him the whole time.
