(A/N) Hey people this is my first Twilight fanfic!! I'm really excited about this story and I really think you guys are going to like it. I'd like to say that this is my version of breaking dawn, but I really hope what happens in this story, doesn't happen in the next book. I have a kind of sad part, I almost cried just writing it.(btw, right now I have the entire story written in my notebook so I already know what happens later!) But don't worry! It gets happy again!! So without further ado, I present…A Moment Like This!
Preface: Accident Prone
All of my life I have been prone to accidents. I constantly trip over air, smack my head on the head board, and punch werewolves. (although I've only done the last one onceJ) Through all the tears, scars and fractures within the last two years, Edward, the love of my life, has been there to heal the wounds. Since I met Edward, I have encountered death a number of times, but he was always there to protect me from the bad guys. Although the situation I'm in right now may not be fatal, I'm wishing for death.
Chapter 1: Telling Charlie
I was sitting in the passenger seat of Edward's Volvo biting my nails to nothing. Edward looked at me smiling. "Alice will kill you if you keep doing that" he chuckled. I retreated my hand to my knee where he took it in his.
"Can you read his thoughts? Is he in a good mood? Tell me!" I basically yelled at him. He looked taken back.
"Bella, you worry way too much" he smiled his crooked grin that made me melt. "Charlie is calm He's watching a basketball game."
"OK…" I muttered to myself, "you can do this." Edward just laughed. He parked in front of the house and helped me out of the car.
"Breathe" he whispered into my ear. I inhaled deeply and opened the door. Edward followed me into the living room where Charlie was sitting on the couch.
"Hey Bells. Hi Edward" Charlie said before popping a dorito in his mouth. I sat down on the chair across from him and Edward stood next to me, his hand resting on my shoulder.
"Is something wrong?" Charlie asked probably noticing the troubled look on my face.
"Um," I said, "we just have some news."
"Charlie" Edward began, "I know we're young and you think we're not ready for something like this but Bella…"
"Oh my God she's pregnant!" Charlie shouted. "I knew this was going to happen! Ok have you thought about your options?" he said all of this before Edward or I could get a word in.
"Dad! Oh my God. I'm not pregnant. But I am surprised that you would have taken it so well if I was" I said smiling. Relief washed over Charlie.
"Oh thank God!" he said. "So what's the news then?"
"Charlie, I asked Bella to marry me" Edward stated.
"And I said yes" I added. I looked up at him. He was looking down at his knees shaking his head.
"Bells, you guys just graduated. You're eighteen for heaven's sake! Don't make the same mistake your mom and I made" he looked like he might cry.
"Dad, I have no doubt in my mind that Edward and I will be together forever. I love him more than anything in the world. I've thought about it a lot and this is what I want. Now, you can accept that we're getting married, walk me down the aisle and give me away, or we'll get married regardless of what you say and Carlisle will walk me down the aisle" I said acidly.
"Bella…I really think your rushing this, but, I guess I'm not going to change your mind. Bella, I want to be the one that gives you away," Charlie said looking up. I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck.
"Thank you so much Dad. You have no idea how much this means to me and Edward." I kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you Charlie. Bella, I think we should go tell my family now" Edward said taking a step toward the door. I followed.
"Ok kids. Bella be home by ten thirty" Charlie called as we walked out the door.
"Oh my God! That went so much better than I though!" I sang as Edward and I got in the Volvo.
"I told you, you worry too much" Edward said before gluing his lips to mine. His fingers tangled into my hair and I wrapped my arms around his neck. His cold, hard, lips moved with mine while our tongues did a little dance. Any second now Edward would pull away chuckling. He did pull away chuckling about a second later. "Charlie's wondering why we're still here" he said pointing to the window where I saw Charlie looking back at me.
"Drive" I commanded bursting into hysterics with Edward. He put it in drive and raced off hitting sixty in two seconds. He took my hand and kissed it as he stared into my eyes and smiled. I smiled back and returned my gaze forward. I could tell out of the corner of my eye he was still looking at me. For a whole minute his gaze didn't budge. I was about to say something about this when all of a sudden, I was looking at a pair of headlights coming right for us. They were going faster than us. (And that is saying something.) I let out a blood curdling scream and Edward swerved.
Ok that chapter was a little short but telling Charlie isn't really that exciting so there's not much to write. I promise the coming chapters are longer though!!
Please review, your opinions would be much appreciated.
