A/N: I DON NOT OWN TWILIGHT. CRITICISM/REVIEWS MUCH APPRECIATED. TELL ME WHAT YOU /XxwelcometojamrockxX

Edward and I made our way to his Volvo. I was shaking at the thought of telling Charlie that I was now "officially" engaged.

Edward probably sensed the tension, and tried to calm my nerves.

"Tell me what you're thinking," he said. "You know how it kills me to not be able to read your thoughts."

"I'm worried that Charlie won't want to be apart of us. Like he won't want us to be in his life. I think deep down inside he knew it would happen, but not so soon."

Edward thought carefully about every word I said. I tried to read his expression, but it was the same calm, blank look that I couldn't read. He turned towards me, and took his hands off of the steering wheel.

"Oh my god Edward, we're going to crash!"

I immediately put my hands on the steering wheel, in a sad attempt to try and control the car that I "thought" was moving. I looked out onto the road and saw that we were already parked in the driveway of Charlie's house. Edward tried to fight back a smile, but he couldn't. He burst out laughing.

I could feel my face get flushed. I had gotten so used to Edward's smooth driving that I hadn't even recognized that the car had stopped.

"That's not funny."

I stomped out of the car making sure I slammed the door behind me. I tried too run so that Edward couldn't catch up to me so quickly, but it was a failed attempt. He managed to come out the car, turn on the car alarm, and catch up to me, and take my hand before I had taken two steps. Damn vampire.

"Bella," he purred. Even thought he was still trying to suppress his laughter, his voice still made me melt. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at you. Forgive me?"

I turned to face him. His face was serene, but still fighting the laugh rolling around in him. He smiled the half smile, which immediately suppressed the burst of sarcasm that was supposed to be my ammo. He grabbed my face in his hands.

"I think we should give Charlie the news. He's in a good mood."

I shuddered. Damn engagement, damn charming vampire, damn Charlie. Edward sensed the nervousness again.

"Don't worry. I'll be right next to you."

We walked to the steps of Charlie's house, and opened the front door. I heard Edward whisper, "I love you." and it made me feel a little better.

We walked through the door, and Charlie was in his same sitting position on the couch. My heart rate immediately sped up. Charlie didn't like surprises, and unfortunately, he was in for a rude awakening.

"Dad?" My voice was shaky.

"In here Bella." He turned around and saw Edward standing at my side with his arm around my waist. He was in "defend my daughter mode."

"I want to talk to you about something. And I want you to be open and understanding about this, because its hard for me"

Charlie was tenser now. I looked up at Edward and it looked like he was hiding a smile. I continued.

"I don't want-"

"Are you pregnant!"

Charlie cut me off. He was trying to control his anger, but his voice sounded like he was in shock.

"Oh no. Oh god no."

Now I knew why Edward wanted to laugh. Not only was it awkward that I had to tell my dad about my engagement, or that we were about to have the sex talk again, but the fact that Edward was there, listening to the whole thing. I definitely did not want to go into the "birds and the bees" again.

"Dad. I'm getting married." I blurted.

It felt as if the whole world was lifted off of my chest. But I could tell from Charlie's twisted reaction that everything wasn't over.

"Absolutely not! Come on Edward, its time for you to leave!"

He was pushing Edward to the door while he was talking.

"Dad no! I want him here for this."

Edward planted himself into the ground. It was impossible to move him now. Charlie vs. Edward? Edward would obviously win. It was funny to see Charlie struggle though. If we were in a different place at a different time, I probably would have laughed.

Edward was surprised at the stern tone I took with Charlie, since he's never been here for one of our infamous fights.

I looked at Charlie's face, and I could tell that he was heartbroken. He wanted the best for me, and getting married to Edward was not on his list.

"Bella we'll talk about it later, but right now Edward is getting out of my house!"

"If he goes, I go!" I screamed at him in such a powerful voice, that I shocked even myself.

Charlie stopped touching Edward, and came over to me. He was about to cry. My words had definitely done its damage.

"Is your mind made up?"

"Yes." My voice was calmer now, but still had a hint of anger in it.

Charlie made his way up to the stairs, and slowly shut the door behind him. I figured that he didn't want to see me for a while. I crept upstairs to pack some clothes for an overnight stay at the Cullen house. I packed a blue tank and some sweat pants. I tiptoed down the steps as if Charlie was sleeping, and I was sneaking out.

We drove in Edward's Volvo to the house, and Alice greeted me. She came, and I assumed that she knew what happened. She rubbed my back, and escorted me inside. Esme, Carlisle, and Rosalie were on the couch, while Emmett and Jasper stood to the side. They stood, and sat to the side, motionless like a statue. That never seized to amaze me. Edward excused me from talking to them. I went up to the staircase to Edward's room, and set down the duffel bag that contained my clothes. I went to take a shower in Edward's bathroom when I realized I didn't bring any clothes to change into. There was a knock at the door.

"Bella?"

"Come in."

Alice walked in with a towel, lavender shower gel, and a towel. She set them on the counter of the lavish bathroom.

There was soft, olive green colors painted on the wall, with gold trim accents on the crease of the door, the toilet handle, and around the mirror. It made me feel like I was in a palace.

"I thought you might need these."

She put a little white box on top of the towel. She crept out before I could even thank her. I wasn't surprised at how she knew I needed nightclothes. She was always watching me. Edward's orders.

It felt nice to take a shower after a long day. The warm water coming from six speed jets, protruding out of the wall felt comfortable on my skin. The rich lather from the shower coated my skin, and turned into foam.

I finished my shower, and stepped out onto the green floor mat. I was curious to see what Alice left me so I sat on the toilet and took the box off of the counter. I opened the box and saw a small Victoria's Secret bag in its contents. Also, contained was a note.

Dear Bella,

I know you will be mad at me, but I thought I would get you a pre-martial gift.

Love, Alice
