Telling the Parents

Edward picked me up and began running. We arrived at his house at the garage. He opened the door of the Volvo and placed me in and in flash he was in the driver's seat and we were driving down his long driveway to my house, way too fast, of course.

"I can't believe that you are excited about telling Charlie." I said to Edward. "I'm scared."

Edward chuckled, "Bella, finally everybody will be able to know how much I love you and that we are going to be together forever. That's why I'm excited." We were already on my street. He parked in front the house and helped my our of the car. He grabbed my bandaged hand, because the other one was still in a cast, and we walked to the house.

I opened the door. "Dad?" I called.

"I'm in the living room Bella!" Charlie answered. Edward and I walked into the living room and there he was watching a baseball game. "Hi," he said without looking up from the TV.

"Dad, Edward and I need to talk to you."

"What's the matter?" Charlie asked as he put the game on mute.

"Nothing," I said. "Edward and I have some good news to tell you."

"Really?" He said in a suspecting voice.

"Well first of all, me and Edward have both decided to go to the University of Alaska."

"Oh."

"And there's more…"

Edward squeezed my hand. "Well, Charlie, I have asked Bella to marry me," Edward said.

"And I've accepted." I said and I wiggled the fingers on my left hand in front of me for him to see.

"Oh." Was all Charlie could seem like he could say. "Well, congratulations are in order I guess." I went over to hug him and he whispered in my ear, "Bella are you sure this is what your want?"

"Yes, Dad." I whispered back. "I love him and I don't want to wait." I pulled away.

"Well, you're the one whose breaking the new to your mother." And with that he turned back to the TV and turned the sound back on.

"Come on Edward." I grabbed his hand and let him into the kitchen. I went over to the phone and he sat down in a chair.

Renée answered on the first ring. "Hello?"

"Hi mom."

"Hi Bella, what's the matter? In something wrong? Are you in the hospital again?!"

"No Mom, don't worry. I actually have some really good new." I smiled at Edward and he smiled my favorite crooked smile back encouragingly.

"Well?" My Mom said growing impatient.

"Edward and I are going to the University of Alaska, and, um, well, we're engaged." I said the last part really quickly and then I waited for a full 30 seconds. "Mom?"

"I'm here."

"Well, what do you think?"

"Your too young."

"No mom, I'm not. I've chosen my life and I'm going to start living it."

"Well, I'm not going to argue with you. I just hope you're sure of what you're doing."

"I am."

"Well. Then, Congrats. Tell Edward that too. When's the wedding?"

"August 13th."

"That's soon. Well good luck planning it. Bye." With that she hung up.

Edward was immediately at my side hugging me. "Well it could have been worse."

I sighed. "I guess."

"Come on. Alice called when you were on the phone. She finished the wedding planning and wants you to see."

"Okay."
