Disclaimer -I do not own The Twilight Sage, I am merely continuing Stephanie Meyers story how I think it should be done. The characters made their own decision to follow me in my story. However, Mike Newton is not participating because Jessica wouldn't let him and she decided she didn't want to be a part of the 5th story.

Chapter 1: "Awkward goodbyes"

I stood there motionless, to humans it would seem like only a few seconds, but to me; at this moment, it felt like a life time. If I was still human this would be the part where my eyes would begin to fill with tears and overflow, trickling down my face. But I was not human; I was a vampire, a beautiful and magnificent vampire. I was the thing that I wanted to be most in life: apart from Edward, my greatest desire. Crying was one of the many things I had sacrificed when I chose to spend forever in Edward's world. This was the only time I've missed it so far, I felt so bad at the fact that I was leaving Charlie and I couldn't even shed a tear, even if it was only to prove to him that I cared and that I would miss him.

All I was able to do was stand there and wear an expression that I thought looked like deep sadness and heartbreak; but in retrospect just looked like I was pouting. Right now was when I knew I should have taken up Alice's offer to improve my 'acting skills' as she'd once referred to them. After realising that this look wasn't doing any good I instinctively decided to rush towards him and clutch onto him as tightly as I could. Well that was what my instincts told me to do, but I knew I couldn't listen to them as this would result in me doing 3 things: 1. Dashing towards Charlie at lightening pace (something a human could not do) every bone in his body as I gripped tightly onto him, and 3. Scaring him half to death when I did the two things I have just said. Instead I regained composure and moved at a fast, human, pace towards his, what he thought motionless body. My arms wrapped round Charlie in a gentle hug. I knew this comforted him even though he hated hugs almost as much as me moving away, but then again probably slightly less than he hated Edward for 'coercing' me into marrying him and come to think of it probably a lot less than he hates Edward for getting me pregnant; but you get the idea.

I could feel Charlie quiver beneath my body and without him noticing I immediately looked at Edward, as he mouthed to me "loosen up the death grip Bella; you're going to crush him." I immediately released my grip from Charlie and began to apologise to him with deep remorse on my face.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry dad I didn't mean to squeeze you so hard" I exclaimed in my still velvety voice.

"It's okay Bells; I think you've fixed the crack in my back anyway." He replied with a grimace expression on his face. He then changed it to a large ear-to-ear smile, and I couldn't help but smile back. We both burst into laughter and I heard Edward chuckle from behind me, this was either because of what had just happened or because of something else Charlie had thought about in his head. I gave my dad a quick look of innocence and thought about the fact that Edward was definitely right about me learning to control my strength... especially around humans.

After this strange exchange of emotion there was more motionless standing around doing nothing. Then I think the tension was too much for Edward and he decided to talk.

"Charlie, you are welcome to come up and visit us any time you want; as soon as we're all settled in" Edward stated to Charlie in his oh so sweet voice, just the sound of it made me melt and I knew one thing for definite and that was that if I was still human I would just be in a heap on the floor. But I was so glad that I am now graceful enough to control myself.

"Yeah dad, we'd love for you to come round, even stay for a couple of days, if that's what you want"

"Thanks, I think I'll wait till you've settled in okay and that you know where all your classes are, and maybe even gotten to know a few people and the neighbourhood." He replied shakily, as if he was trying to hold back more tears. "If that's okay with you anyway?"

"Yes that is perfectly fine" Edward and I both said to him in unison, as if we'd planned it. I think that startled him a bit; both of us saying the same thing at the same time, as almost immediately, he walked off into the kitchen to get a drink.

As soon as Charlie disappeared I turned to Edward and put my new ability into power, focusing extremely hard. I began to push away my invisible shield that had done so well in previous situations, preventing people from entering my head. I looked at Edward deep into his mesmerising golden brown eyes and thought "I'd say that went pretty well. Don't you?" I then immediately lost my focus when I felt a powerful force crushing down on my lips. I kissed Edward passionately entwining my body with his, grasping tightly onto his body with all the strength I had; I somehow knew this would hurt him because of how strong I was but I didn't stop and he didn't moan. I could stand there kissing him for hours and even days, but I knew Charlie was in the other room, and if I got too carried away he would be seeing a little too much of his daughter and her husband. Edward knew this too and it was him that stopped, before we got 'out of hand.'

Edward backed away from me, but only ever so slightly, he was still close enough that I was still able to grip onto him. He gazed into my eyes and said "Charlie should definitely come visit us once we've moved, but only once we've managed to christen every room in our new house" Before I could even react to this proposition we both heard a loud smash and quickly turned round to see Charlie standing in the door way; absolutely mortified at what he'd just heard. It's not like Edward to not be listening on what other people were doing and it's not like Edward to say something like that any louder than a whisper. I think maybe he got a little too distracted this time and totally forgot about everything that was going on around him.

I instantly felt embarrassed and I was glad that I wasn't able to blush because my cheeks would be burning a bright red right about now. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for poor Charlie as his whole face looked like it was on fire with embarrassment. I actually felt sorry for him and wished that Edward hadn't 'distracted' me before, because then none of this would have happened, or maybe he would have said it sooner and Charlie wouldn't have heard. I mean seriously, that's not the kind of thing you want to be hearing coming out of your 19 year old daughter's husband's mouth, especially as you don't like him as it is.

I really didn't know what to say, I could hear and feel Edward chuckling behind me as he held me round my waist. It was almost as if he'd said it on purpose just for a joke; sometimes I think he's been spending way too much time with Emmett. I elbowed Edward right in the gut just hard enough so he'd get the message and stop laughing. I was certain that he got the message loud and clear.

Charlie broke the extremely uncomfortable silence by talking, "I'll see you soon yeah Bells, call me as soon as you land and I hope you have a safe trip" Charlie now felt very awkward and so did I. I could tell that he just wanted to forget about what had just happened and I think he knew curling up on the sofa and getting deep involved in a football match would do it. He most defiantly wished he'd never heard that. So I went along with it and kissed him on the cheek goodbye and began to walk quickly out the door with Edward. IT felt like we'd only just got there and now we were leaving. Just as we were leaving I glared at Edward as he was the cause of all the embarrassment that had just happened, but then smiled, as there was no way I could be mad at him. I guess I would just have to figure out a way to punish him later. Edward had already decided he would be the one driving back to the Cullen's house so he got in the driver's seat and I dashed round to the other side and got in. I heard the telly switch on inside the house I used to call home and then we sped off down the wet, slippery road.

A/N. Please write a review (even if it's brief) with your honest opinion about what you think of my story so far. As this is my first story and I would definitely like to know people's opinions before I post any more chapters. Thanks, Emily
