"I can't believe how well that went." I said, looking out of the car window.

"Charlie was quite understanding. He is a good man Bella." Edward said.

"Yeah, he is. I hate that he feels as if he failed somehow in his paternal responsibilities tho. He thinks it is his fault that I got pregnant? You and I both know that I am completely to blame for this one."

Edward pursed his lips."Mmm, not quite completely to blame Bella. I think I had a little to do with it." and he kissed my hand and grinned.

I looked at him and smiled."You are absolutely right Mr. Cullen. If you weren't so drop dead gorgeous, smell so intoxicating or if you didn't send electric shocks through me every time you are near, this would not have happened." I teased.

Edward raised his brow."Well if you hadn't been so beautiful, so tempting I may have been able to better control myself around you." and he placed a lingering kiss on my wrist, breathing in my scent. My heart began to race, as it always did when he would touch me.

"I need to tell Jacob. I don't want him to hear this from anyone else."

"Bella." Edward said as he drew his brows together. He still didn't like me being around any of the werewolves. He still considered them dangerous.

"Come on Edward. You know I have to so this. "

""Bella, I worry about you being near them. They cannot always control themselves. And now you ask that I let you go to them with our child inside of you?" His face was incredulous. But I knew I had to ber the one. And it had to be face to face.

"Maybe it wont be so bad. I mean, Charlie took it fairly well. And Renee was great when we phoned her. Maybe Jake will come around too." I knew it was a lie. i just hoped he didn't.

"Fine, call him and tell him. I mean, if a phone call sufficed for informing Renee that she will be a grandmother, it shouls serve just as well for a mongrel." He was getting angry.

"It has to be face to face Edward. Please. Don't fight me on this."

"Then it will be in a safe place where I can be nearby. I won;t have you endangering yourself Bella. Or the life of our child" I couldn't help but smile as he said the words, our child.

"Fine. I will call him and invite him to Charlie's tomorrow. " I said, giving into his demands. At least he was willing to let me talk to Jake.
