Edward was driving slower than normal. He knew I was nervous, the whole ride he kept a hold of my hand and was rubbing circles, which was calming my nerves just slightly. "Bella, love, its going to be alright he going to be upset at first, but then he will come to terms with us getting married."

"I know it's how he will react at first that scares me. I don't want to give him a heart attack."

"Well you have about thirty seconds to get over you nerves because we here and he knows it."

I hadn't noticed where we were until he had mentioned it. Most times I stare at him while he drives trying to not notice the speedometer or how fast the scenery passes by. I've always been a little afraid of his driving, ever since that night he brought me home from Port Angeles.

"Well, let's get this over with."

We walked into the house and immediately walked to the living room, where I knew Charlie would be.

"Hi Dad, could we talk to you about something kind of important."

"Sure," was all he said and he hit the mute button on the remote, "What is it that you want to talk about?"

"Well you know that Edward and I have been together for over two years now, and I also know that you didn't like it when Edward had left for those four months. Well despite it all we are in love with each other, and I know we are still young, but we know what we want in life, and we also know we want to marry each other. Before you get mad, I know you don't like this and you are only trying to protect me, but you getting upset about this will just upset me. I've tried to live without Edward, and he left me thinking that I would find someone better than him, but the truth is that we can't live without each other. It nearly killed us both, trying to live without each other." Charlie's face was red, but he was listening and the look in his eyes told me that he was understanding to extend about our decision.

" Before you jump to conclusions, no I am not pregnant."

" Bella, are you sure that this is what you want."

"Yes, Dad it is what I want more than anything right now."

"Yes, but right now isn't six months down the road. What if he decides to leave you again Bella then what?"

"Dad, he won't leave me again," Edward cut me off there, he had been silent this whole time until now.

"Chief Swan, I know that you think that I might leave her again, but the truth is I can't, it nearly killed me for the four months that I was away from her. I love her more than life itself. My life was empty before I met Bella, she has completed me. Even my family says, that they have noticed that I am happier than I ever was before I met Bella, now. I understand that you didn't like me for what I did to her for those four months, but I am truly sorry about that." Charlie was back to his natural color and his eyes were full of understanding.

" Besides I think that if I ever left Bella again, Alice would kill me. She has way too much fun playing Barbie Bella," we all chuckled at that.

" When is the wedding?"

"August 13. Does this mean we have your blessing Dad?"

"I guess it does. You know Renee isn't going to be to happy about this."

"We know, but we also thought that you would be more upset about this, that's why we told you first."

"May I see your ring?'

" Sure!" I raised my hand so that he could see it.

"Wow, that sure is something, it looks like it costs a lot.'

"Well, actually I inherited it when my parents died, it was the same ring my father gave to my mother."

"You truly do love her don't you?"

"Yes, more than anyone could ever understand."

"I'm sorry for acting so hostile toward you Edward, I was just trying to protect her."

"I know and you had every right." Charlie shook Edwards hand and then gave me a big hug.

"Well you know Bella your going to have to give me some cooking lessons before you move out so I can make it on my own again. You spoiled me. I am so glad you came to live with me."

" I know Dad, I don't know how you survived all these years without me" We all chuckled at that.

"Well Bella I think we should go tell my family now, and you can call Renee from my house."

"Okay, we'll see you later Dad."

We got in the car, and Edward drove like normal again back to his house.
