So, I will update soon...but please, just keep that in mind. Thanks Lovelies!! 33

Chapter One: Marriage

I could tell by the look Charlie gave both Edward and I that he wasn't thrilled at the idea of us marrying each other. But I also knew that he had expected it.

"Do you know when?"

Edward was on top of the questions.

"August 13th."

"Before school?" He looked surprised. I could feel myself getting sick. I remained quiet, watching the scene between my father and Edward play out. Edward always knew what to say to Charlie. He had a way with words. His plans never faltered. I had learned to trust Edward at the very beginning. Recently, Edward and Jasper's plan with the new born vampires succeeded.

"Why not after school? That way Bella can test the waters…see if its really what she wants."

"Dad." I said, sighing deeply. I knew he wouldn't just approve and let it go. He had the same fear as me. He didn't want the marriage to end up like his own. "This is what I want. I want to be with Edward…and it wouldn't affect my schooling." I tried to assure him.

"You don't know that, Bella. You've had such a sheltered life."

"Don't you want me to be happy?" Charlie sighed, shaking his head. "Bella, you know that I want you to be happy."

"Then…let me be happy." I whispered, glancing up at him. "I'm telling you that I want to marry Edward. I want him. Only him." I said—I wasn't sure if I was trying to reassure him, or myself.

Charlie opened his mouth to say something, but then he slowly nodded. "Alright, Bella." He said, glancing at me and then at Edward. "I'll allow this to happen."

God, Charlie. 'Allow this to happen?' Are you serious? I would just run away with Edward, and he knew it.

"Did you tell your mother yet?"

I shook my head. "I wanted to tell you first." He seemed happier about that. I knew that he appreciated that I confronted him first. After all, Charlie was my Dad. The one that had opened his home to me; opened his home to Edward—despite the fact that he didn't like him.

"Then, I suggest that you call Renee and talk to her." Charlie whispered, glancing at Edward. "You can pick up the other phone and talk to her too." Edward smiled and nodded graciously. "Thank you."

Charlie stood up and walked to the kitchen and picked up the phone. I stared at Edward for a moment, wondering just how much I had hurt Charlie.

"Bella...everything will be alright." Edward whispered, kissing my cheek gently.

"Trust me."

The problem was…I did.

I grabbed the phone from Charlie and held it up to my ear. I braced myself for a long phone conversation. I saw Edward take the other phone from Charlie and he smiled at me.

"Hello Renee." I heard him say in his sweet voice. "How are you?"

Typical Edward. Taking my breath away. Dazzling me. I continued to stare and watch and knew that I had made the right decision.
