If books are drugs than twilight is "exactly my brand of heroin, "and Stephanie Meyer is my drug dealer.

Stephanie Meyer is in no way a drug dealer nor does she or I abuse these substances. I do not own any of the characters other than those I have made myself, the only thing that I might own are parts of the plot and if they show up in any of her later books it is merely coincidence and I gladly yield to the great Ms. Stephanie Meyer.

After Eclipse

The announcement:

We were going to tell Charlie. I let Edward drive to the house. Our hands were intertwined on the seats and he was playing with the ring that was formerly Elizabeth Masen's.

"Bella" he said "I would like to talk to your father before we tell him" He gave me that look, the one that makes my knees weaken and my head go all fuzzy.

"Fine." I sighed, he must have misread my expression because he kissed me deeply and I was the one that had to pull away gasping for air.

"Don't worry." He said looking at me with a worried expression.

"I want to tell him, I just don't know how." I said slightly dazzled.

"Oh." He said relived. We were riding in my dinosaur of an automobile so it took us longer than the two seconds that it would have taken in any of the Cullen cars. When we finally got there Edward batted his eyelashes and asked me to wait in the car.

Heard thoughts in italics

I ran up to the house and rang the doorbell Charlie looked at me strangely when I came to the door with Bella still in the car. Oh great the freak who is dating my daughter is here and she isn't with him. Fighting a grimace I said "hello Charlie, may I speak with you? Oh no she is pregnant, my baby is pregnant. Carlie turned the palest I have ever seen any one in my entire existence and I knowing a lot of undead vampires, he just kind of nodded and walked into the living room. Charlie sat down on the couch and I sat on the other side. Stay cool if you hurt him she'll never forgive you. "Charlie" I said trying to ignore his thoughts, "I would like to ask for your daughters hand in marriage." He couldn't say any thing, and I didn't expect him to say a thing, yet. His mouth just kind of dropped and it looked he was trying to say something. "Charlie are you ok?" I was getting worried. I went into the kitchen to get him a glass of water, I came back to find he was lying back on the couch, his breathing was even; as I walked toward him he opened his eyes and sighed. I handed him the glass and he sat up to sip the ice water. Thanks I needed that. Your welcome I said with out thinking accidentally answering the unspoken comment.

"I didn't say any thing, but that was what you would have said if I had." He said looking at me oddly.

"Charlie I have something that I would like to tell you, but I am unsure if I should" I started talking before my impulsive thinking could diminish and my common sense could take over. "I would very much like to tell you this 'secret' if you will, but if you leak this to any one it will endanger my entire family." I said at a quick human speed, "so as you can see I am wondering if I can trust you with this secret."

He looked at me for a second and said "Edward if I am going to let you marry my daughter than you will be in my family, and this family doesn't leak secrets." By this time he was sitting up and looking me in the eye. Trust me Edward, I could never do any thing to hurt her, nether could you. Please.

"My entire family, myself included, are vampires."
