A silence grew around us, minus the birds, and it was comfortable. I fell asleep sometime during this silence, and I only noticed because I all of a sudden saw Charlie.

**Dream**

I was rolling around Charlie's house which held so many memories. He was always so loving and caring, and unfortunately I couldn't see that when he was alive. I looked silently at the pictures that hung upon the wall. Those pictures were the ones that you could just tell that he hadn't moved on after Renée. There were family pictures, and Renée was in them.

Suddenly I heard a noise behind me and I wheeled myself around so then I could face the noise. I was shocked with what I found, Charlie. "Why hello Izzy!" he exclaimed happily before he ran up to me and hugged me.

I stayed in my wheelchair and not responding to him for a few seconds before I finally found my voice. "Dad? What are you doing here?" I asked quietly and found my voice to be astonished.

He sighed and looked deep into my eyes with those soft brown ones that I missed so much. "Well" he paused, "I thought that you should know about how I got killed, and about what I know." He looked at me for a second, looking for something telling him to continue, and he found it. "Well that day you were sick, well I was sick to my stomach worrying about you. So I rushed home, and Emmy, he didn't want me to go in your room because I didn't look calm. I could tell that I was yelling, but to be perfectly honest, all I remember wanting was to be near you, to know that you were okay. I think at one point I shouted, 'WELL EMMETT SHE DESERVES SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT HER AND I KNOW THAT EDWARD WILL BREAK HER HEART IN THE END! YOU HEARD HER YESTERDAY, AND EVERYONE ELSE DID TOO! YOU CAN'T LET ME NOT SEE MY LOVING DAUGHTER. SHE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT OF RENÉE!' but I can't be sure. You were the spiting image of your mother, and I couldn't believe that I could have lost you. Emmett yelled at me again to calm down, or else I wouldn't be able to see you. I took deep breaths, but it barely helped. I tried to act like I was calm and tried to get into your room with his back turned. He appeared out of no where and punched me in the nose. It was really a great punch, but I wasn't in the mood to get punched by my own son, so I tried to fight him. I was bleeding and suddenly his eyes had gone into a pitch black, like nothing I had ever seen before. He shuddered and suddenly he was draining the blood out of my neck, and it was very messy."

He sighed and I waited patiently for him to continue with the thought about what he knows, but he didn't continue. "Dad? You realize that there really isn't much time right? I just want to know what's on your mind. Please…" I sighed softly and wiped away the tears that I knew he had seen.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly before he started yet again. "Well sweetheart, I knew about what the Cullen's and the Hale's were before Jake got his lung cancer, but I didn't say anything to Jake or Emmy. I knew they were vampires, but I didn't care. I did some research on vampires online and found out that the vampires with the gold eyes were 'vegetarians' and I felt safe around them. When Jake got his lung cancer, I couldn't bare it. I almost asked Carlisle to…to change him, but he couldn't know that I knew about them, his family. The days dragged on, with me knowing that I could have been asking his entire family to save Jake, but I couldn't let them know. I noticed that Emmett's eyes changed color slightly and then it clicked, the Cullen's changed him into a vampire. The only thing is that no one else knew, so I couldn't say anything. Just a few minutes before Jake died, he told me that he knew all about Emmett and his vampire clan, and that I should know to. I told him that I figured it out months ago, and called Emmett in. He looked at his brother with sympathy, knowing that he could do something, but yet he couldn't. His last were for you Izzy. He said, 'I really am going to miss her, but I'm glad that she will be living with you two. Tell her I love her okay?' and with that, he shuddered and just went limp. I cried for days, and Emmett escaped to the Cullen's house, avoiding anything that reminded him of Jacob. I miss him, but let's face the truth; it was funny watching Emmett act like he was excited the he was going to eat pizza every night." He chuckled and sighed. "So I knew all along, but yet I didn't say anything because I didn't want them to move because one human figured it out. I love you Izzy, and I don't mind if you get changed. I love you." And with that a tear strayed from his eye.

I caught it before he could say anything else about himself; I had to let him know. "Thank you for letting me know that. I love you Daddy, and I won't ever forget you intentionally at least. Don't forget me. Tell Jacob I love him. Bye Dad." A tear ran down my cheek and the picture started to fade away.

**End of Dream**

There was a light hand that wiped my cheek, and I realized that it was cold. I mumbled something along the lines of 'let me sleep', but all I got in return was a velvety chuckle that woke me up instantly. I had to tell Edward about Charlie…I had to. I slowly lifted my eyelids, just to drive him insane. Recently I had learned that one of Edward's favorite things about me waking up was my boring brown eyes. I yawned softly before finding Edward. "Hello stranger." I chuckled as a crooked grin came upon his face.

"Why hello Bella the beautiful." Well that was new. I smiled at him and he looked deep into my eyes, making me feel exposed and self-aware of my bad bed head and my clothes riding up. "You weren't out that long, but was Charlie in your dream?" I looked at him in wonder as he drove, but shouldn't we be home by now? I nodded and waited for him to continue. "Well the only reason I figured that out was because you were talking about Jake and Renée like you were in someone else's point of view. I'm surprised that Charlie had found out about us, and without saying anything…that's interesting." He pondered for a little bit before finally stopping in front of his house. "I think we need to talk to everyone about this dream, including Emmett and Rosalie." I sighed and nodded as we slowly walked into our home.

Esme ran up to me and hugged me before anyone else could enter the room. Since my surprise party that Alice had thrown me, we have grown close, like actual mother-and-daughter relationship. She was better at playing the 'mom' role than anyone I had ever known. "Bella, I'm so glad your home."

I laughed lightly as I replied the same as always. "It's good to be home Mom." I chuckled as once again her face glowed. I had started calling her mom a few days ago, but I could tell that she really enjoyed seeing me accept her as family.

"Edward and I need to talk with everyone." I whispered, and knew that everyone would hear. Alice had a knowing look on her face as she came down the stairs, but what did you expect when she can see into the future.

She smiled sweetly at me and I smiled back before I heard Rosalie yelling at Emmett to get out of the car that the news was about Charlie. I chuckled not surprised by the fact that Alice had already called Rosalie and Emmy so then they would be on time for the discussion. I thanked her with a smile and a light giggle before I heard the very light footsteps of Emmy and Rose entering and silently sitting like they had been in the house the entire time. We were only waiting for Carlisle to come downstairs so then we could talk about Charlie.

We stepped fluidly into the room and sat right next to Esme on the couch as Jasper and Alice were snuggling together on one of the love seats. Rose and Emmett were on the other end of the couch that Esme and Carlisle were sitting on, leaving Edward standing and me in my wheelchair, as we had to tell the news. "So Bella had a dream with Charlie in it," Edward began for me softly.

I took a deep and replayed the dream for them, every word that Charlie had said to me. No tears streamed down my face which made me smile. I waited patiently as everyone absorbed what Charlie had known and the research, every little detail was being absorbed like a sponge in their minds. "So Charlie knew what we were?" Carlisle finally spoke up. I nodded silently hoping that he wouldn't have anything against my father knowing about their big secret. "I'm surprised that he still felt comfortable around us, and knowing would be the worst when one of your own was about to die, that you could save him, but you would be putting your own life at risk." He mused over this as did the rest of them also took in the information.

I broke the silence that had fallen over the family, by turning to Edward and asking him a question that had just occurred to me. "Wait Edward, couldn't you read his mind? You could have told your family about all that Charlie was thinking, but yet you didn't…I'm so confused." I rubbed my temples lightly trying to figure out why Edward wouldn't warn Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice about Charlie and him finding out about the Cullen's and the Hale's being vampires.

Everyone looked at Edward suddenly wanting an answer to my question, like it had just occurred to them too. Edward looked towards the ground, and then to me, and then found the hardwood floors incredibly interesting. He mumbled something under his breath, which I couldn't hear, but everyone else heard. They chuckled and then the silence returned. If I could have I would have been tapping my foot. I really didn't like it when my curiosity was not settled down, and if I could have pounced on Edward, I definitely would have, at least until he finally answered me. I sighed lowly and waited. He finally answered my question after a long length of time. "I couldn't really read his mind, more of the moods of his thoughts. And Charlie like you has a way of thinking about different things, and hiding his curiosity very well. So I couldn't tell that he knew what we were, or are for the matter." He raised his head after his explanation, and smiled a sad smile towards me. "So Bella, I think you need to go to bed. It's very late and we do have something planned tomorrow." I groaned and he chuckled as he pushed me into my room on the first floor.

Our plans tomorrow, wait. Graduation was tomorrow. How could I have forgotten? I grimaced as I thought about all the different outfits Alice was going to force me into. "I totally forgot about graduation, isn't that kind of bad?" I laughed as he chuckled as I finally made it in my room.

"How did it sneak up on you, love?" Edward replied quietly and kissed my cheek. I shook my head in wonder before Edward spoke again. "Well don't worry about it, you are going to have a blast tomorrow, so don't worry. You just need to go to sleep." With that he turned and started walking at a human pace out of my room.

"Wait Edward" I called before he had even made it to the door. Within seconds he was kneeling in front of my wheelchair, leaning against my legs without his weight on them. I looked into his eyes to find excitement deep inside of them. I called him back for something….oh yeah! "I don't get a goodnight kiss?" I pouted towards him and saw a crocked grin stretch across his face as he leaned his head forward.

"Why of course you do my love." He whispered and planted his lips on mine before I could get another word in. I tried to behave and hold still for him, but I couldn't seem to do that. My arms wound around his neck and my hands – on their own accord – slide into his bronze hair. He didn't become motionless as I thought he would. Instead he put his arms around my waist and dragged my chair, if possible, closer to his body so then he could then weave one of his hands into my hair and hold onto it. Finally I just couldn't breathe anymore so I loosened my hold on him and was panting when he let go of me. "Wow" was all he said and I nodded while trying to get my breathing back to normal. "Well I better go, no more goodnight kisses, at least for tonight." He said jokingly before he slipped out of the door.
