Chapter 7- Fall on me for anything you like

Charlie seemed in a relatively good mood when Bella walked into the sitting room. He was sitting down watching a baseball game with a can of beer. Charlie smiled and looked up with at her. "Hey Bells, how was your weekend?" He wondered unsuspectingly.

Bella forced a smile and sat down on the couch adjacent to him. "It was good..." She could tell that her voice gave her nervousness away.

Charlie frowned. "What's up Bells? You seem kind of edgy." What am I going to say? Bella thought to herself for a moment but there was no time so she decided to just wing it.

"Dad... T-there's something that I need to tell you..." Damnit, why did she always have to stutter?

Charlie looked at Bella warily and switched off the tv. "Yeah, sure... What's going on?" The calm before the storm.

Again, Bella decided it would be best to just get it out there even though she was extremely nervous. "Well dad, first I have a confession to make.." She began and Charlie listened intently. Bella was going to get a slating for lying, nevermind what would come later. "I wasn't with Alice this weekend-"

Charlie didn't give her the chance to finish her sentence. He looked irritated. "He's back isn't he?" By he Bella could only assume he meant Edward. That worried her; would he prefer her to be with Edward or Carlisle? Because if it was Edward, then she really had a problem.

Bella quickly shook her head. "No dad, Edward isn't back..." She took a deep breath and decided to just go for it, like a plaster, quick and painless. "I've been seeing . I'm sorry for not telling you dad, I just- dad are you okay?" It looked as if Charlie was turning purple.

"What? Do you mean medically?" Charlie was a typical father; always in denial. "Are you sick?"

Bella rolled her eyes. "No dad, I'm not sick. You know what I mean."

Charlie looked as if he was going to explode. "You- When- He's thirty years old Bella! Why are you telling me now? There must be something wrong... You're pregnant aren't you?" At that moment Bella was so thankful she wasn't pregnant.

"No! Dad, I'm not pregnant! But there is something. I promise it's not bad, but I don't know how you're going to react."

Charlie slowly returned to his normal colour but still remained wary. "Okay, go on."

It's nearly over. Bella assured herself. "Dad, we're getting married." She blurted out and Charlie quickly returned to being purple.

"You're marrying Dr. Cullen? Bella this is insane! He's a bit old for you isn't he? I didn't even know you two were dating! I saw him the other day and he didn't mention that he was marrying my nineteen year old daughter! Must have slipped his mind!" She knew that everyone was going to be taking about how Carlisle was too old for her. Bella wasn't looking forward to all the whispering.

"We only got engaged yesterday!" She decided she needed to keep her cool. "Dad, I know this must come as a shock to you but I really love Carlisle, a thousand times more than I ever loved Edward. I don't care that he's older than I am!" His colour started to return to normal again. "We're getting married on August 15th." She added, hoping that if she said all of that together Charlie wouldn't get so hung up about the date.

She was wrong. "What? Bella that's just over two months away! Are you sure you're not rushing in to this?" His voice sounded pleading.

Bella sighed. "Dad, there's no reason to wait. Even if we did, would you like the idea any more?"

Charlie just sighed and took a sip of his beer He knew she was right. There was nothing he could do. "Bella, if you're really sure about this then, by all means, get married. But if you have even the slightest doubt, don't do it. Divorce isn't easy." He warned.

Bella smiled. She felt so much lighter knowing that the worst part was officially over. "Dad Carlisle and I are never going to divorce. I love him more than anything. You know I wouldn't do this if I wasn't totally sure."

"Yeah, you always were sensible Bells." Charlie said quietly. "I just would hate to see you go through the same thing I went through with your mother."

She was never the huggy type with anyone but Carlisle, but Bella went over and sat down next to Charlie and put her arms around him. She knew this was a big moment for any father. "I know dad. Don't worry about me."

Charlie squeezed her back tightly. " What are you going to tell your mother?" He wondered as if she would react worse than he had.

"I aready told her. Just before you came in. She was shocked at first but she came around." Bella smiled and released him again.

Charlie seemed a bit put out that Renée had given in so easily. "Wonders never cease. So, when am I going to get to meet my son-in -law to be properly?Outside of work?" He added

Bella chuckled. "Yet to be determined, but soon. Promise you'll be nice?" She had visions of Charlie interrogating and threatening Carlisle

Charlie rolled his eyes and unwillingly agreed. "I promise."
