DISCLAIMER... Guess what? I do NOT Own twilight, bella, edward (sigh) or any other characters, they are all Stephenies...


Chapter 1: Discussions

We were leaving the meadow, our meadow and driving back towards Forks, in Edwards Volvo of course, because my old Chevy truck is just to "slow" for his likings. All well, that's what I get for dating, wait, being engaged to a vampire, they love speed.

I was still trying to figure out what the heck I was going to tell Charlie. Ugh, I thought, this is going to be difficult.Thinking that I accidently let a sigh slip out, and Edward didn't miss it.

"What are you thinking about Bella?" Edward asked, of course that's what he always asks, what I am thinking about. He is so annoyed that he cannot read my mind as he can everyone else's.

"Nothing really" I answer.

"Uh-huh sure, I'm not buying it Bella, will you please tell me what's on your mind?" he said as he looked deep into my eyes. I sighed once more and gave in, I could never resist his smoldering eyes, "Mostly what how I am going to tell Charlie and Renee and how there going to take it, there not going to be very happy about me getting married this young Edward, I am really worried about how there going to take it."

"Don't worry my Bella, it will be fine, I'll be there with you every step of the way… forever." He added. " I know" I said " I love you Edward Cullen." "I love you too, Isabella Marie Swan soon to be Cullen, always and forever." Forever, I smiled at the thought.


"Dad!" I called as I walked through the door, "Dad, I'm home"

"In here Bells" he called from the living room. As I walked down the hall with Edward at my side, I heard the reason he hadn't answered so quickly, the game was on and he was into it completely. Great I thought, I'll have to come up with some sort of distraction to get his attention…

"Hungry?" I asked

"Sure, Bells"

I sighed and went to cook some food for dinner. Edward followed me to the kitchen.

"Stalling?" he asked.

"No, I think it will be better if we all sit down and eat before I tell him, because as I've noticed and told you before, men are less crabby when the aren't hungry."

He smiled and closed the space between us with a kiss.


We were all sitting down eating, well at least Charlie and I were. Edward on the other hand, I have no idea where he was putting his food, though I doubt it was any where near his mouth. I cleared my throat before I started. "Dad, uhm, I, I mean Edward and I have something to tell you"

His eyes went wide, probably expecting the worst.

"Oh my god Isabella Marie Swan if your preganat I sw-"

"NO!" I said a little to loud, but I was startled he would even consider that. "No dad" I said a little calmer, "I am not pregenant, I'm, WE"RE" I corrected as I pointed to Edward and I, "engaged." Ah Finally its out, now lets see the reaction.

I held out my hand as I showed my father the ring.

"Oh Bella" he said in a whisper.

"Why?" he asked finally

"Why?" I repeated " Because Dad we love each other, I have loved Edward from the moment I saw him, I know your still angry with him for leaving me. But cant you see… I was like that for all those months because I cant live without him, I cant."

I waited to see if he was going to say something, when he didn't I continued.

" I know your probably mad, but look I AM going to marry him, with or without your permission, I am 18 and perfectly cable of making decisions for myself. But, I want you to walk me down the Isle, you my Daddy." "Please" I added in a whisper.

During this whole conversation Edward was holding my left hand, playing with my ring, and had his arm wrapped around my waist.

Finally he said "Okay, I don't like it, but I guess that's not my decision. You're my baby girl Isabella, and if he makes you happy, and your sure…" He hesitated, I knew this was difficult for him, Charlie wasn't one to express how he felt. "I will be there for you, when ever you need me, and OF COURSE I will walk you down the aisle." He finished.

I jumped up and started crying, " Oh, dad, THANK YOU!" I hugged him and he kissed my cheek. Then he looked to Edward.

"Edward, you take care of my Bella, you hear?"

"Of course, Charlie, nothing is more important to me than her, not even life it self."

"Be careful what you say son, Ill hold ya too that."

" I know you will sir."

And then my father did something I never expected he grabbed Edward and hugged him, he must of not been thinking about doing it because Edward looked as surprised as I did.

I laughed. And they both looked at me with love in there eyes, I was the happiest girl in the world.

" Well, Im gunna go watch the game." Charlie muttered, having enough with all the expressing emotionsfor one day, he walked back to the living room.

And once again Edward closed the space in between us with a kiss, yet this one was even more passionate before. As he pulled away I pulled in a jagged breath, and smiled. Then a frown settled on my mouth as I thought about something that ruined the perfect moment. Renee, mom, I still have to tell her. Edward pulled back confused as he saw the frown, "What" he asked. "Its not over yet, I have to call my mom now."

He laughed and I scowled at him as I picked up the phone.
