Dusk: A Twilight Fan Fiction

Chapter One

It has been at least two hours since myself and Edward told Charlie. He hadn't reacted the way I expected him to. He still hasn't spoken. I expected him to yell, scream, and all that telling me I was about to make the biggest mistake of my life. Not that I would listen, I love Edward and want to spend my life with him…no, that is not true. I want to spend eternity with him and his family, and I am going to. Even Rosalie is starting to come around.

"Um…" Charlie had finally tried to say something. "Are you sure, I mean I know you both are crazy for each other, but you're so…young." He was whispering now. "I mean, are you both sure?" I think the question was intended for me, but Edward answered before I could even think of what to say. "Charlie, sir, I know I am in love with Bella, with all of my heart. And if she is ready, then I see no reason why we shouldn't. I will never be able to love anyone more than I love Bella." By now I had tears in my eyes, I heard a sniffle, but I knew it wasn't me. I looked over at Charlie, he was crying.

"Dad, are you okay?" I managed to choke out after I finished whipping away my own tears. "Yeah, I …maybe…no, I was wrong about this after all. Edward is a good kid. I think he will be able to take care of you. Sure he has proved it many times, but I can see you really want this. So," Charlie said while shifting towards Edward, "I guess you both have my blessings. Only if…" Before he could finish, I cut him off, "Dad, what else is there we could do, I mean, we came here to tell you, instead of running off. So tell us, what now?" When I looked at Charlie he looked like he was about to burst out laughing. "Bells, calm down. I was only going to say; only if I get to walk you down the aisle." As soon as he finished I must have looked confused, angry, or both because Charlie and Edward both started laughing so hard. Then I realized what had just happened because I was laughing too.

I was going to walk up to Charlie and give him a hug, I tried to move but realized Edward had quit laughing and was very tense. When I looked at him he hissed, "Jacob!" He said it only low enough for me to hear. Charlie had finally quit laughing and excused himself to wipe away his happy tears.

I was out the door and in his car before I could even blink. By time I caught my breathe I asked, "What's going on? Why did he come?" Edward only shook his head and kept going. By now I could see his house. Alice stood on the porch steps looking very frightened. She was at my door before Edward, which could only mean something bad. Couldn't it? Edward was speaking so fast I gave up trying to listen. Finally I shouted, "WHAT IS GOING ON?" By now Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper had all joined us. They all looked at me a little confused.

"Didn't Edward tell you on the way here?" Emmett asked sounding very confused. "NO!" I said then realized I was still shouting, "I don't know anything." Then out of no where I started to feel very calm and relaxed. All I could do was smile at Jasper. In return, he smiled back. Edward grabbed me around my waist and pulled me back into his lap. I snuggled into his chest knowing he was distracting me, I tried to say something, but nothing would come out. Edward was staring at me, and I stared back into his topaz eyes and understood why I couldn't speak. Edward was dazzling me. Then I heard Esme clear her throat, quite loudly, trying to get Edward's focus. He smiled and broke eye contact with me looking back at Esme. She must have thought something because Edward nodded slightly and handed me to Emmett, then walked out of the room with Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, and Rose. Still confused, yet very relaxed, I managed to say. "Emmett, would you please tell me what is going on!" I meant to speak at my normal voice, but only able to whisper.

"I don't know if I should, Bella, if Edward wanted you to know he would have told you." Emmett stated very clearly. He obviously wanted to tell me, but was a little afraid of what Edward might do. Clearly understood.

"He did mention Jacob, back at the house." I offered, my voice finding normal pitch again. "Jacob, the werewolf?" he asked then started laughing, "Bella, are you serious? Why would we ALL be acting like this if it was only…Jacob?" Then he realized he said too much and looked down, which really wasn't helpful considering I was still cradled in his arms. It felt a little strange, but very comfortable. He was like a big, hard, teddy bear. He already thought of me as a sister, so I was completely at ease. Until I heard a "THUD" I would have jumped but I was being flown through the air. Emmett jumped at the noise making him stand abruptly sending me across the room.

"Its fine Emmett, it's only me," yelled Alice from the top of the stairs. Emmett seemed to relax again and realized Bella wasn't in his lap, caused by him standing. He didn't realize he ever let go of Bella. Emmett ran over to her asking if she was alright. "Yeah, I'm fine. I think. I hit my head." I said while rubbing my head. Next thing I knew I was flying up the stairs. And now lying across Emmett's bed was him and myself.

He looked fine, still completely at ease. Then looked at Bella and asked, "Or would you rather sleep in Edward's bed?" Not realizing how tired I actually was, I just shrugged and laid back against a pillow.

Before I knew any time had passed I woke up by being lifted, then dropped softly onto another bed. A soothing voice came from above. "Shh, love, sleep."

Edward had returned, from where I still don't know. But after what Emmett said I can honestly say I do not think it was good.
