Breaking the news -
Bpov
After waking up on the massive bed in Edwards's room, I quickly dressed in jeans and a blue v-neck sweater. I was flown downstairs at vampire speed as soon as I was finished and thrown into the passenger seat of his shiny silver Volvo. Edward was seated to my left at the blink of an eye.
"Edward, where are you taking me?" I asked, but then instantly regretted it because I sounded out of the loop, as usual.
"It's time" he responded with my favorite crooked smile plastered on his face.
He gracefully reached across me managing to brush his arm oh so softly against me as he opened the glove compartment. He rummaged around for a moment before his features lit up as he withdrew a small, black, velvet, ring box. He then grabbed my left hand and gently slid a beautiful diamond ring on my ring finger. "Charlie has to know"
"I should probably take it off until we break the news to Charlie" I said seriously, trying to get out of wearing the ring, but Edward put his hand over mine before I managed to slide the ring off.
"Relax", he coaxed sweetly, "everything is going to be fine. Alice has already seen him walking you down the isle so you know he will accept it."
This instantly put some of my fears to rest. "I know I should stop worrying about it, but ever since you left me he hasn't trusted you completely."
Edward flashed me a smile and said "Don't worry, I have a plan." as he sped out of the driveway seriously testing his prized cars limits.
Curiously I asked, "Is there really a plan?"
"No" Edward chuckled. But I somehow managed to believe everything would turn out ok.
Within seconds we were taking a sharp turn into my driveway where Charlie's police cruiser was safely parked. We came to a halt and I inhaled deeply. By the time I released my breath, Edward had already opened my door and was helping me undo my seatbelt. I glared at him faking frustration.
"I could have done that myself" I stated indignantly, but the smile playing at my lips gave me away. Edward stepped out of the way and I climbed out of the car.
Once I had both feet firmly planted on the ground of the driveway, Edward playfully shouted in his musical voice, "Race you!" and soon he was a blur.
He was already sitting on the front steps by the time my feet hit the moist grass. "Hey no fair! I am not the one with vampire speed!" I teased as I ran my fastest to meet him.
"Well I am not the one who can blush!" He mocked as my face flushed do to both running and his taunting even though that made no sense.
I somehow managed to push past his marble figure and opened the door. Once inside I kicked off my shoes and hung up the jean jacket Alice claimed was an outfit staple which I recently learned means an outfit must-have.
"Bells?" Charlie's gruff voice questioned. It sounded like the game rerun was playing full blast in the living room.
"Yeah it's me dad. What are you hungry for? Cereal or pancakes?" I asked as I surveyed the layout of the fridge and pantry.
I heard the creak the sofa makes when someone gets up. I jammed my hand into my pocked and yanked the ring off my finger just as Charlie came into the room.
"Hey Bella!' He said as he saw me. "Edward" he added with a slight nod. "C'mon Bells, no scrambled eggs?"
"Sorry dad, this time I am cooking a dish that I can successfully keep down. And maybe even, gasp, enjoy!" I joked. Without waiting for a reply, I quickly prepared a batch of pancakes on the skillet leaving my two favorite men in a long glaring contest. (hahaha)
"Charlie, you shouldn't be mad just yet" I said slowly chocking on my own words as they rolled of my tongue. Charlie turned to look at me with a skeptical look on his face. His thick eyebrows knit together as he turned to look at Edward knowing full well I wouldn't be the one to give a straight answer.
Edward answered lightly while trying to be polite, "I have asked your daughter to marry me, sir." I knew from the tone of his voice that Charlie had an open mind still.
"And she said yes?" Charlie clarified while knowing it was the truth.
"Yes Dad, I did" I barely whispered.
"Well, I don't think I can really stop you Bells. I love you and I want what's best for you. We both know Edward will take care of you. I trust him and know he makes you happy. That makes me happy. Now Bella, I knew this was coming, and I have been thinking that you should go bond with your new family. And don't worry about Renee, I will take care of her and I am positive she will be at your wedding. I wouldn't miss it for the world and would be honored to give you away." Charlie spoke with emotion and I could tell it was difficult for him to say. But I think he meant it.
Tears overflowed in my eyes and leaked down my cheeks. "I love you dad." I whispered as I gave him a tight hug, "and thanks." This time my voice cracked with feeling.
Edward stepped forward and shook his hand. "I'm glad to know that you approve of me and I will have you know that I will do my best to protect Bella as long as we both live." I smiled at the formality of his words.
With one last kiss on the cheek, I promised to visit and call frequently. Edward and I headed straight for the door. We didn't have to go to my room to get everything because most of it was at the Cullen's. And whatever I needed, I am sure Alice would get me.
I slid the ring on my finger where I knew it would stay for all eternity and headed of with my fiancée to a house full of people I loved and would be with forever.
