The News!!

Edward's Pov.

I'm driving, at my usual over-the-limit speed, Bella home from the day at my house. Bella had on her face that meant she is thinking hard. "Tell me what you're thinking" I said looking over at her.

"Nothing" Bella said as she blushed a little.

I chuckled lightly. "Please tell me Bella" I said seductively.

"I…I was just….thinking about Charlie. He's…..been acting strange lately." Bella stumbled.

I gave Bella a confused look. Usually I would've known what was going on but lately l've been focusing more on Bella, for……… for leaving her, that I hadn't really been paying attention to what Charlie doing or even what he was thinking.

Bella was staring at me with an even more confused look on her face than mine. "Are you saying that you haven't noticed how different Charlie's been acting for the past week? If I noticed it you certainly should have." She said.

"I guessed I haven't really been paying attention."

"Great, so I have no way of knowing what's going on." Bella smiled. "Pay attention before we go in and tell me what's going on, so I'm well aware of what's been bothering him."

"You know you could just ask him." I pointed out.

Bella blushed a light colored red. I chuckled quietly, which made her blush go to a darker shade of red.

We reached Bella's house and I jumped out of the car and ran to get Bella's door. I opened it up while I was paying attention to Charlie's thoughts.

"So what's going on?" Bella asked as she noticed I was listening.

"Ummmm……… I think it might be better for Charlie to tell you. I'll see you later tonight." I gave Bella a kiss then left.

Bella's Pov.

Edward kissed me goodbye then left. Why didn't he tell me what was going on with Charlie? Is what's going on with Charlie involve Edward?

I walked to the door, took a deep breath, and walked in. I looked around to find Charlie no in his regular spot, instead of his one-seater chair; he was in our two seater couch.

He looked up as if he just noticed me here. "Hey Bells, come here I need to talk to you." I walked over to him and took a seat next to him. He took my hand and started stroking it in a comforting way. Oh no what's wrong? I thought.

"Bells, you know that when Renee and you left it was extremely hard on me."

"I know Dad." I said quietly.

"No Bella let me finish." I nodded. "It was harder than you think. I was just barely getting a hang of being a father, but I still didn't know what I was doing." I nodded again not knowing where he was going with all of this. "If Renee would have waited just a little bit longer to leave then maybe it wouldn't have been so hard on you when Edward left."

"What are you trying to say Dad?"

"What I'm trying to say is that Renee gave me something before you guys left."

"What did she give you?" I said worried.

"She gave me…….Erika."

"Whose Erika?"

"Erika is your twin."
