Older Grandpa

Charlie's P.O.V.

I never did understand why Nessie asked so many questions, and she always asked the strangest ones too. Definatly not what a normal four year old would ask. I remember when Bella was four she would ask questions like "Do Cinderella and Prince Charming live happily ever after?" and "Can I have an ice cream cone?". With Nessie her questions were so much different, more mature I guess you could say, she would ask questions like "Why don't you and grandma live together?", of course Nessie being the age she is wouldn't understand divorce unless of course Bella and Edward ever got divorced. Which I doubt will ever happen.

Today Bella, Edward and the rest of the Cullens went on a camping trip and would be back tomorrow. Like all four year olds Nessie likes to play games. Not having a child in my house for years although means I have very few games, I do have some older games such as monopoly and checkers from when Bella used to come down in the summer. I got the games down out of my closet and went to the living room where Nessie was sitting, "So do you want to play monopoly or checkers, Nessie?" I asked sitting down beside her.

"Hmmm..." she pondered this for a minute, and then after a while said "checkers". With that we started setting up the checkers, Nessie for some odd reason insisted on being red. Even though I knew black was supposed to go first I told Nessie to. "But grandpa," she said, "black goes first," I didn't think that Nessie would have known that.

"Is that true Nessie?" I questioned.

"Yes, me and uncle Emmett play checkers and he says black always goes first, I let him be black and I still always win," she answered.

"So your pretty good at this game, are you?" I asked as we began our game. We played for and hour, each game Nessie won.

When I glanced up at the clock it read 7:12 "Are you hungry Nessie?" I asked "I sure am grandpa, what are we having?" she answered.

"Well that depends, what would you like?"

"I want pizza grandpa, its Jacobs favourite!"

So I ordered a pizza and found some cartoons on t.v. for Nessie to watch while we waited for the pizza to arrive. We were eating when Nessie finally asked me "Grandpa how old are you?"

"I am forty-two Nessie, why do you ask?" I questioned confused (whoever is reading if that age sounds wrong feel free to message me with a better age)

"Because grandpa Carlisle said he was oldest," this confused me, Carlisle said he was only thirty-six even though he looks no older than twenty-five. "No Nessie I am older than grandpa Carlisle," I corrected her.

"No your not, grandpa Carlisle is three hundred and seventy years old," did I just hear her right did she just say three hundred and seventy? "Maybe you heard it wrong Nessie maybe he is thirty-seven, definatly not three hundred and seventy though.

"No grandpa I heard it right he is three hundred and seventy," just then there was a knock on the door. I went to answer it and sure enough it was my new son-in-law Edward, "Hello Edward I thought your whole family was gone camping this weekend," I said letting him in.

"Well yes but it started storming so we had to come home, so I came to pick up Nessie," just then Nessie came running in "Daddy, daddy your home!"

"Okay then feel free to bring her by any time you need I can watch her," I told him hoping to get to spend more time with my one and only granddaughter.

"Don't worry Charlie we will," Edward said and then turned to his daughter, "you ready to go Renesmee?"

"I guess so," she sighed walking over to her father, "bye grandpa see ya soon" she yelled as she left running out the door.

"Nessie, watch your speed, Edward said and then turned to me, "thank you Charlie you are such a help to our family,"

There family definitely was odd, but even if they were a boring old family I would love them either way, they took my Bella in as one of their own and she really does love them like they were her own family. I am happy as long as Bella is happy. It is weird though Nessie seemed to really think that Carlisle was three hundred and seventy, maybe there was something about the Cullens I didn't know.

Thank you to anyone who read, if you have any questions, and/or concerns feel free to message me. Also if you want me to make a second chapter feel free to tell me and give me ideas for what to happen. If you want a different story I would happily take Ideas for stories.

Again thanks for reading Mar.
