"Bella..." Edward said, breaking me from my reverie.
"Hmmm?" I said
"You know that Charlie wont be too happy that you're getting married. First of all, you're his only daughter, and secondly, you're only eighteen."
"Yeah," I said," but you're 110."
"When you say it like that, I feel old." Edward said, smirking.
"You are, but at least you dont need a walker." I giggled, imagining Edward walking down the aisle with a walker.
"I'm not senile either," Edward laughed.
I laughed too, then looked at my glittering engagement ring. "Oh my gosh..." I breathed.
"What?" Edward asked, looking worried.
"I'm... getting married." I thought for a moment. "Hmmm... Isabella M. Cullen. I like it." all too soon, we turned into the driveway. I still had no idea what in the world i planned on saying. Edward hopped out of the car and walked to my door.
"Ready, Mrs. Cullen?" he asked, holding out his hand.
"Not really, Mr. Cullen, but lets go." I replied, taking his hand.
Together, hand-in-hand, we walked to the front door. Suddenly, Edward stopped, reaching into his jeans pocket.
"I almost forgot..." he said in that tone when people suddenly remember something. (a/n: what would you call that?) from his pocket he conjured two black RAZRs. One he gave to me. I looked at the back and started laughing. On the back was a bright red apple and under it in white letters was 'Mrs. Cullen'.
Edward held out his phone. it was exactly like mine, but his said 'Mr. Cullen'. Edward looked sheepish.
"Alice." i said. It wasnt a question.
Edward nodded his head. It has unlimited text and Alice took the liberty of putting in every number you would ever need, including that dogs."
I flipped the phone open then texted 'thank you' to Alice.
"Come, love. Charlie's waiting." My Angel said.
I grabbed his hand and together we faced whatever would happen.
As usual, we found Charlie on the couch in front of a baseball game. We walked into the living room. "Hey Bells! ... Edward." Charlie nodded in his direction.
"Ummm... dad? Can we talk?" I asked timidly.
"Sure..." Charlie replied just as warily. He was just as nervous. I wonder what he was thinking. I should ask Edward when I got the chance. I took a deep breath.
" Dad, I-" I looked at Edward. "Edward and I have something important to say..."
Charlie exploded.. " WHAT??!!! YOU'RE PREGNANT???!!!" He advanced on Edward. "YOU SON OF A BITCH-"
"DAD!!!" I shouted. " Please. I am not pregnant."
Edward pulled me closer. "We're waiting to have sex until after we are married."
I didn't have to be a mind reader to tell what charlie was thinking: yeah right. He didnt have enough faith in me. There was'nt too much I was able to do about that. More than anything, what i was about to tell him woulnt make Charlie trust me much more. I continued.
"Dad... Edward and I are getting married." I sounded much more confident than i felt.
Charlie's face was unreadable. Almost like he was confused. And sad. Very sad. And just the tiniest bit of anger. "But, Bella. He left you."
"And I will regret it for as long as I live." Edward said politely. He turned my face up to his.
"I forgave you a long time ago." I whispered. A single tear slid down my cheek.
"That doesn't mean I forgave myself." he said, his topaz eyes penetrating mine. He wiped my tear off.
"Well..." Charlie said, ruining the moment. "I see that you both are very serious about this, and since you are eighteen I cant stop you." He sighed in defeat. I ran over and hugged him. "Thank you, Dad!". Just then my cell phone vibrated in my pocket.
"What's that?" Charlie asked.
"Alice got Edward and I cell phones." I replied. I went to Edward and he handed me his phone. I displayed them both to Charlie. When he saw them he couldn't help but laugh.
"Alice..." he said, chuckling. "Okay you two. I'm sure that your family wants to hear the good news too, Edward." Wow. He spoke directly to Edward. Progress! Charlie kept talking. He was starting to ramble. "...Besides, there's an important game on, and-"
"Okay, Dad." I laughed. "We'll scram. Bye!"
"Good-bye, Charlie." Edward said, too polite, as always.
"Bye, kids. Have fun! Oh, wait. Bella!"
"Yes, Dad?"
"Can I see the ring?" he asked.
Oh, yeah. The ring. I had forgotten all about that. It didn't feel heavy anymore. It felt- right. I went to Charlie, flashing the ring.
Charlie whistled through his teeth. "That's some ring. Was it expensive?"
Edward was at my side. "No, sir. It was my mother's. It was passed down from her to me."
"Oh." Charlie was clearly surprised. "Well. Off you go!"
Edward and I walked to his car. After shutting my door he went to his own and got in. Edward looked at me, smiling. "Now THAT wasn't so bad, was it?"
I shook my head no. Then I sighed. I opened my phone to find a text message from Alice. 'CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!' it said. Then I accidentally pressed the camera button. And then I got an idea. Edward, can you pull over for a second?" He nodded, then pulled to the side of the road on the fringe of some woods. Quickly, I leaned over and planted one on him, right on the lips. When both of our eyes closed, i snapped a picture. Edward gave a start when the phone clicked. I let him look at it once it was my wallpaper.
Before I new what was happening, Edward was kissing me passionately, almost as if he wanted to cross the boundary that I had set. Then I heard the click of his phone.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! I got another text. It was Alice again. 'ALRIGHT FUN'S OVER. GET OVER HERE!!!!' I sighed. "Let's go face the wrath of your- our, insane shopaholic exuberant sister that delights in tortureing me." Edward smiled and began driving again.
When we reached the house and stopped the car, I heard a sharp rap on my window, making me scream.
"Chill, Bella it's only me." said Alice. Quickly, she got me out of the car and started to run me to the house. Edward tried to save me, but Alice said, "Go away! We have work to do!"
