Again you know the drill here, don't own anything, unless the can of Amp Green tea (which doesn't taste as nasty as it sounds) and some slim Jim's count as ownage, then sure I own something…. Ohh I got some but head dogs, some bunnies in the yard and the damn coyotes that don't realize I have a shot gun and am not afraid to use it... (Long story)
SO Charlie and Harry, anyone see that coming? Neither did I… I have bits and pieces written for chapters here and there and if this keeps writing the way it is now idk how the hell I am going to piece things together… ….
Real life has me working more hours then sleeping right now and School is kicking my ass in more ways then one. I can't have my blackberry in the building at work at all; school despises cell phones out and makes you leave if you are caught.. Imagine they want you to learn… like what's that about?

Fuck, what the hell did I get my self into saying I wanted to meet her dad. Scared isn't even a good word for it… hell if I didn't want to take it all back or have to make an 'emergency' trip to base while they were here. Yeah I had to chuckle at the look on Bella's face at her fathers admission to who he was bringing with him. I am more then assuming either this is an excellent friend that would need to approve of me too or that her dad was in a way admitting that he was gay.
We headed to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day and I just wanted some time to have her in my arms.
While cuddling her in bed she started rubbing her ass against my already stiffening hard on.
"You better stop that or I will be fucking that." I whispered in her ear while hearing her intake of breath.
"Is that all you married me for, Sex on tap?"
"Nope" I popped the 'P'. "But your dad's coming into town tomorrow and I don't want to be cock blocked while he is in town."
The sex with Bella was amazing and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss it while I was gone because fuck I would, but I would miss her lying in my arms lost in bliss more.

Standing in the airport waiting for my dad alone seemed so weird, sure I have known Harry almost my whole life, but this was new. I never knew my dad liked men and I wished I had Edward by my side to keep me from being nervous, from seeming shocked but mostly so there was something else to focus on and I wouldn't end up saying the wrong thing.
Seeing my dad walking towards me he seemed like a new man. He seemed so happy. As they approached I seen him drop hands from Harry and I didn't miss the sad, confused expression on Harry's face.
After greeting my dad in a tight hug I pulled back smiled and looked over at Harry.
"So, are you my new mommy or daddy?" My hand flew up to my mouth as my cheeks blushed hot enough to start a fire and my eyes widened.
"Told you she would make a joke about this and be fine. You owe me $50 bucks Charlie. And to answer your question I'd be the mommy. I like being on bottom and submitting, shopping, making him dress in something out side of that years ago old season Gawd awful plaid." Harry chuckled while we hugged and then took in Charlie's shocked expression.
"Just like that? No questions, yelling asking what about my feelings for your mother?"
"Ladies and Gentleman my dad has found his voice, guess the cat didn't keep his tongue." We started walking to baggage claim. Harry seemed to know I wanted to talk a little private with my dad was walking about 10 steps ahead of us.
"Are you happy dad?" He nodded with a gleam in his eyes. He had his sparkle back, looked like he had lost some weight and had better style then me. "Then I'm happy for you. Just hope you can see the same for me and realize that I'm going to be ok this time."
"I have to intimidate him some, Harry knows not to hit on him and we are going to try and be nice."
"That's all I can ask for. I love you dad. I've missed you so much."
We got out to my truck and laughed at dad's expression.
"Damn Bell's you got a nice ass set up here. You said you were getting a big truck. I didn't expect it to be like this." My dad smiled while admiring my truck. I opened it and put their stuff in the bed. "I'm sure it's all supped up. Spill kid."
"Nothing special dad, really it's just a fully loaded F350. I've got it chipped, lifted and supercharged."
"Fully loaded I'd say, did you know there's a baby seat back here?" Harry chuckled.
"Son of a bitch, I forgot to leave it at home. I need to call Edward, yes that's his name. It's going to be on the truck speakers so be nice or shut up."
I jumped in started the truck and waited for my blackberry to sync, when it was ready I dialed Edwards number.
"Hey sweetie, thought you would have your dad with you?"
"He is and you're on surround sound." I chuckled while Edward groaned. "I forgot to leave the baby seat. We are leaving now. Leave her at your mom's and I'll be home in about 30 minutes."
"It's ok baby. I called my C.O. and explained what's going on; he said I can just take care of it all while we are there for family day. Your dad and Harry are more then welcome to come too if they want to, we can spend a few days there if you want, Seth said he'd love to see your dad again."
"Ok, then I'll see you in about half hour. Can you get Trevor to clean up his mess in the living room please?"
"Already done love, he's at mom and dad's playing games there until you get back here. He said he'd be listening for the truck so drive that way."
"I'll stop and pick him up."
"Ok, be safe."
With that we hung up. Dad was smirking and Harry looked like he was drooling.
"What?" I questioned while looking between the two of them.
"That boy is whipped." My dad smiled. "You can hear the love he has for you through the phone." Harry's replied.
The drive to the house seemed shorter then it really was. I was hoping for more time before Edward and my dad meet. We pulled in front of the Cullen's, I put it into park, stomped the break on.
"Damn Bell's this is way nicer then you guys made it out to seem." Dad said while whistling and looking with wide eyes at the Cullen's house.
"This is Edward's parent's house. I'm getting Trevor remember? I'll be right back out." I took off towards the house, being met by an almost jumping Trevor and a smiling Esme. Pointing out to the truck where my dad was standing to see Trevor he took off out the door.
"He has been like this the whole time. He is excited your dad is here. Carlisle used not so adult terms to explain Harry to him. We hope you didn't mind. Edward said you were nervous about trying to tell him about that."
"Mind?" I questioned with wide eyes and a smirk "you guys saved me. Want to do dinner with us tonight?"
"How about we all go out, that way none of us have to cook and it puts us all on neutral ground."
"That sounds good. Say 6?"
"Will Edward be back by then?"
"He's not going now. I honestly think he was trying to reach for ways to get out of here. Guess he is going when we go for family day tomorrow. He wants to show off and try to impress my dad while they are here." I smirked at the way Edward's mind worked.
"Ok sounds good. Let me know if you guys need to borrow the expedition tomorrow so you can all take one vehicle."
"Thanks, I think Edward wanted to take my dad in the Lambo tomorrow, but I will run the idea by him."
"Ok sweetie we will see you tonight, you better get out there before Trevor spills about Lux."
I walked back out to the truck and waited for everyone to get in.
"Mom I didn't tell them. Edward said if I didn't tell them that I could have Pepsi or ice cream. I think I want Pepsi." Trevor smiled at me while telling what I figured was a secret bribe.
"Let me guess you weren't supposed to tell me about the Pepsi or ice cream?" I had to laugh at the expression on his face.
"It's ok. You can have a Pepsi."
We drove down the street a little ways and I pulled into the drive way.
"This is still amazing Bella. You have done well for yourself." Harry smiled from over the bed of the truck.
"Trevor why don't you go let Edward know we are here." He took of running into the house. "Dad please be nice and remember that I love him and that he will be coming back to me."
"He will behave Bella, as long as we get a shopping day while we are here." Harry smiled again while rubbing his hand on Charlie's chest. Damn that's weird and I don't know if I will ever be able to get use to it.
"Of course, using the do this or I cut you off method?" Fuck I didn't just say that did I?
"Enough. Let's go meet this guy that has your heart." My dad grabbed the bags and started walking around the truck.
"Leave them dad. We can get them in a bit."
Walking into the house I could smell cinnamon rolls, caramel truffle coffee and smiled.
"Fuck Edward gotta stop with the food; I'm going to gain 50 lbs before I know it." I called into the house while walking into the kitchen where I knew I would find him. "Come on cowboy, can't hide out here forever. He will find you. It will be fine I promise." I kissed his lips slowly. "Oh and we are doing dinner with your parents tonight."
"Damn it Bella…" Edward would have said more I'm sure, but my dad got tired of waiting it seemed.
"I don't know how you were raised son, but you don't talk to your girlfriend or my daughter that way." My dad looked pissed, just what I need, a pissing contest in my kitchen.
"I'm sorry sir; I wasn't meaning it that way."
"How else would something like that be taken."
EPOV
Just my luck for her dad to walk in while she was ruthlessly teasing me.
"Well if you must know sir, I can just finish my statement." I looked at him and he nodded.
Can believe I'm going to say this. Fuck what ever. I put the panty dropping smile back on and took Bella in my arms; she was going to hate me. "Damn it Bella you gotta stop kissing me like that or I'm going to be fucking you on the counter with your dad in the next room."
The so quiet hearing a pin drop expression didn't fit here. Bella was gapping at me looking between beating the shit out of me and running to dig a hole to hide in. Her father looked between amused and pissed I was going to say that about his daughter and Harry well Harry looked like he was ready to strip and bend right over for me.
Giving another smug panty dropping smile at Harry I smirked at Charlie. "Sorry sir if that was mistaken as something other then expressing to my wife that I wanted her."
Charlie gapped even more and then Bella smacked my chest. "Fuck Edward I haven't dropped that on him yet."
Crying from upstairs got my attention. My escape was in the form of my little girl.
I started taking steps towards the exit to run up the stairs I needed to get the fuck out of here.
"Hell no mister, you walked yourself into this you get to explain things." Bella's glare kept me planted to the ground. "I will be back in a few minutes with the other important person in my life. Don't kill him and keep the fist from his face. It's to pretty to mess up." What the fucking hell was that supposed to mean. I mean really, was it just me or did she just give her dad permission to beat the shit out of me as long as he didn't touch my face?
Bella giggled I'm sure at the expression on my face while taking the stairs two at a time. "So not laughing Bells" I yelled up the stairs at her. She just chuckled more.
"Wife?" Harry broke the tension and staring contest between me and Charlie.
"Bella wanted to come down and tell you face to face. I love her with everything I have. If she asked I would be out of the military tomorrow. She has been the best thing in my life and has loved me more then I have ever deserved. Trevor has accepted me and they along with the little one up there crying is what's going to bring me back home." I said while looking at Charlie.
"You going to take care of them? Can you honestly tell me you are going to treat Trevor like your own?"
"I already do. Bella has the ability to not work and be home with them as long as she would like, she has access to great medical insurance for her and Trevor will be added soon, and if I don't take care of them I will bring myself to you to save you the trouble of coming to kick my ass."
"I guess I don't have to rough you up any and it will keep your purrdy face in tact." Charlie smirked now obviously playing into the comment Bella made.
"Thank you." Insert smirk here. I don't know why I keep using my charm her, but if it keeps me from getting the shit beaten out of me and keeps them I guess I will sacrifice some sanity to keep this visit good for Bella and Trevor.
"So military?" Harry asked while looking like he wanted to strip me.
"Yup. Marines. I'm part of the Devil Dogs." Proud is a good way to go here. My phone started ringing with a number I didn't recognize.
"If you'll excuse me I need to grab this." They nodded while I answered my phone.
"Hello"
"Edward?" A small timid voice questioned.
"This is him, who is this?" I questioned while looking at the questioning look on Charlie's face.
"Jane. Umm. The one that was watching Lux." I would forever be great full to her, would never for get who she is or what she has done for me.
"Of course sweetie I would know you from anywhere. You ok?" she sounded very sad and timid.
"I'm sorry to bother you if this is a bad time I can call you back." Not a chance in hell.
"Its fine, what's going on?" I questioned not missing the glare I was getting from Charlie.
"You said I could call you at any time. I need help and I can't call my parents right now they are working."
"Of course, but you have to tell me what's going on and how I can help."
"A friend of mine left me at some house with a bunch of guys. I locked myself in the bathroom, but I'm scared. We were supposed to stopping here for her to grab her bag for school and then go to school. She took off before I knew she was leaving with one of the guys."
"Do you know where you are?" I was going to beat every guy's ass in there if they touched her.
"We are off Carson Street. There is an old red rusty truck, a black truck and a yellow car out front. I'm not sure what the house number is. We made a right off Edison and come about 4 blocks down to this house."
"Did you get any of the guy's names?" That sounded just like Eric's house.
"Not sure I think James, maybe Eric was the guy she was supposed to be meeting here."
"I'm about 10 minutes from there. Can you go out and ask if James is there or are you not comfortable doing that?"
"I'd rather not. There are about 5 or so guys out there and I'm scared." She sounded like she was crying now.
"I'm jumping in the truck. Stay on the phone with me." Walking to the table where Bella normally puts her keys they weren't there. I didn't want to run down to get my car from my parent's house. I pulled the phone from my face holding it in my chest while yelling up the stairs. "Bella where are the truck keys?"
"I have them. You don't need to get the bags out yet." She yelled down the stairs to me.
"I need the fucking key's, toss them down please. I need to leave now. I will explain when I get back. Shouldn't be more then thirty minutes, but if I'm gone longer call Emmett tell him I'm on Carson Street by Eric's house to look for your truck and that he needs to hurry." I checked back with Jane. She still seemed to be crying.
Bella bolted down the stairs. "You're scaring me. What's the matter you never cuss at me?"
"I don't have time to explain. I promise when I get back." I grabbed the keys out of her hand, kissing her and then took off out of the house while taking with Jane again.
BPOV
I got Lux changed, did her hair and peeked in on Trevor.
"Hey little man what you hiding in here for?"
"Edward asked me to stay out of the way in case grandpa did things I shouldn't see." Trevor looked worried.
"He didn't mean it that way. Honey this is a little weird for all of us. I will talk to him. Let's go down and check on them so you can see everything is ok."
Edward yelled at me startling me by cussing while asking for my keys. "Bella where are the truck keys?"
"I have them. You don't need to get the bags out yet." I yelled down the stairs to him. I have no idea why he is acting this way in front of my dad.
"I need the fucking key's, toss them down please. I need to leave now. I will explain when I get back. Shouldn't be more then thirty minutes, but if I'm gone longer call Emmett tell him I'm on Carson Street by Eric's house to look for your truck and that he needs to hurry." Fuck this. I laid Lux down by Trevor and bolted down the stairs.
"You're scaring me. What's the matter you never cuss at me?" I could see the glares he was getting from my dad and Harry. By the looks on their face I couldn't tell how much longer they would be held back from beating the shit out of him.
"I don't have time to explain. I promise when I get back." He grabbed the keys out of my hand, kissing me on the forehead and then took off out of the house while taking on the phone again.
"What the fuck was that about?" My dad questioned while looking at the door Edward had just ran out of.
"I don't know. Do you know who he was on the phone with?"
"I'm assuming a female by the way he called her sweetie. Said he'd know her from any where, asked if she was ok and if she could see if a James lived where she was. He's lucky he left. I was about ready to beat his purrdy face in. You sure you can trust him?"
"Dad I'm sorry Edward gave you a bad first impression. I love him as much as I know he loves me. He loves Trevor and takes care of him good. I'm not sure what is going on, but if he left like that it had to be important. I'm sure we will get a full explanation when he gets back."
"Oh he will be or I can promise he wouldn't be purrdy, as you say, it anymore." I was surprised to hear this from Harry.
"I'll be right back down. There is beer in the fridge help yourself to anything you want." I smiled and then started back up the stairs.
Walking into Trevor's room was a site I couldn't pass up this opportunity to get this on camera. Trevor was lying on his side with Lux cuddled into his arms and they both looked to be sleeping. I took a picture and walked closer. Trevor was looking down at Lux while she smiled back at him and he was whispering to her.
"Hey buddy. You ready to go back down stairs."
"What's the matter with Edward, I heard him leave."
"I'm not to sure what's going on, but he should be coming back here soon. Let's go spend some time with your granddad and you can introduce him to Lux." I smiled at him. Edward was getting an ear full from this little stunt.
We made our way down the stairs to Harry and my dad whispering. I handed Lux to Trevor and let him walk in first.
"Grandpa this is Lux. She's my sister now." Trevor had a huge smile on his face. He seemed to be beaming with pride about having a sister now.
"She sure is pretty." Dad smiled at Trevor then looked at me with a look I could tell meant What The Fuck.
"It's a long story, but short end of it is, she's Edward's daughter. We have had a long week and I adopted her, meet your new granddaughter." What the hell else am I supposed to say?
"She sure is pretty. She is legally yours?" My dad questioned while looking at me quizzically.
"I haven't gotten official papers yet, but yes." My phone couldn't find a better time to ring. Looking at the caller id it was Edward.
"What?" I guess that was kind of mean, but he was in the dog house right now.
"I deserve that. Luck isn't on my side. I got pulled over and left my wallet there. Is there any way possible you can bring it to me?"
"What officer pulled you over?"
"This is even better; I got pulled over while blowing past a Sergeant while he was on his way to lunch. He was nice enough to follow me to where I was going, but isn't going to let me leave with out my wallet."
"Ok, that didn't do shit to answer my question. Your secretiveness is getting on my nerves. We are talking about this when you get back here. What Sergeant pulled you over?" I could hear muffled talking.
"Sergeant Boscorelli. I don't know how this is helping me."
"Put him on the phone. And you will see." I snapped at him.
"Ma'am?"
"Don't Ma'am me Boz. You know my truck what the fuck. Why didn't you call me?"
"Izzy? Damn it's good to hear your voice we all miss your face. I was getting ready to call you. I was just trying to get this jag-off's information to see if you knew him like he claimed you did."
"Green eyes, messy mop of copper, bronze colored hair?" I smiled at the look on my dad's face
"Yup. So I take it you know him?"
"Hesmyhusband. Follow him back here, you can write him the ticket if you want, my dad's here I'm sure you guys would like to catch up." I spewed the first part quickly running all my words together.
"Hell yes I will be following him. You have some answer's to some questions little lady." I could picture the smirk on his face while he tried to pull off a horrid impression of a southern gentleman accent.
"Let me guess he's giving you a look between what the fuck and him trying to control himself from beating your ass?"
"Yup. We shall see you in a few. Here he is."
"Should I even ask?" Edward said once he had the phone back.
"You are not one to be sounding pissed right now. He's following you back here and then you better be quick with words and not make me question shit or you will be groveling until you leave and I can't be held responsible what all the men will do to you."
"I'm sorry baby. I really am. I promise it is nothing you should question. I will tell you everything once I am there. Meet me outside with out your dad first please."
"Fine." We disconnected. I explained to my dad what was going on and that one of the officers he trained was coming back here and that I needed him to back off and let me and Edward deal with this with out him being there to try and get in the way.
I grabbed Edward's pack of smokes from the table and walked out to the porch. I don't know why I was even doing this, but I needed something to calm me down or I was going to need to have the help of officers to hide a body.
A few minutes later Edward pulled into the drive way while Bosco took his normal parking place next to the truck. I was about to go off on Edward when I seen Jane in the truck with him, red eyed, puffy eyes and looking scared.
"What did you do?" I growled at Edward while walking around the truck to see Jane. I pulled her into my arms where she started sobbing again.
"I'm so sorry to cause you guy's trouble. If I would have known I wouldn't have bothered you guys." She barely choked out between sobs.
"Shh.. it's ok sweetie. You didn't bother us. We are always going to be here for you. You kept that little girl safe. What's the matter?" I glared at Edward. I have no clue what was going on, but if this was his doing he was leaving tonight.
"I was headed to school with a friend. She said she needed to stop for her bag. She left me there with a bunch of guys. I hid in the bathroom until Edward got there. You should have seen him bust into the house followed by a cop. I have never seen grown men more scared in my life."
"I'm glad you called him."
"But now you are mad at him and he's in trouble with the cop." She choked out again.
"I am mad at him, but that has nothing to do with you and we will work that out. The cop is a good friend of my dad's he's like a brother to me. Edward isn't in trouble." I pulled away while smiling at her. "How about I take you inside and you can wash your face and get something to drink while you see Lux?"
"I'd like that. I need to figure out how to get a hold of my parents and get a late pass for school."
"I'll take care of all of that in a few minutes. Let get you inside and settled." I gave Edward a look to tell him to leave us a minute and Bosco realized I wanted them to leave as well. Once they were gone I pulled Jane's face up to look at me. "You need to be honest with me right now. Did any of those guys, Edward or Bosco hurt you in any way?"
"No. Once my friend left I went right into the bathroom locking the door. Nothing happened I promise you that on Lux life."
"Ok sweetie lets go inside."
Taking her under my arm we walked into the house were all the guys were staring down Edward and the kids were not in site.
"Calm the fuck down. Where are my kids?"
"They are in the kitchen. He refuses to give me any information." My dad inclined his head to Edward.
I walked Jane into the kitchen and helped her get settled giving her a soda and some snacks. Once she said she was fine I walked back out to the living room while pulling Edward back out side with me.
Crossing my arms over my chest and staring at him while growling.
"I'm sorry. You will never know how sorry I am. I have done nothing, but make myself look worthless of your love today in front of your dad. I've let you guys down and I haven't shown you any bit of my appreciation for going through this with me. She called me and when she told me where she was I was worried about where she was. You remember the creepy guys I kept you away from the whole time we were at the office?" I nodded not going to answer with words. "That's whose house her friend just left her at. I now get to go to my C.O. tomorrow and report them. I don't want to, but can't have something like that happening again, to someone less lucky."
"You couldn't have just told me Jane was in trouble? No you had to react with out thinking. You embarrassed me today Edward, I love you and I want my dad to like you and approve. Not that it matters since we are already married, but I want him to have a high opinion of you."
Pulling me into his chest he started kissing my head while whispering how sorry he was and how he didn't mean to let me down. I started to feel my hair getting wet; I pulled away and looked onto his face. He had silent tears streaming down his face.
"what's wrong?"
"I am just so sorry. I fucked this all up. You dad probably hates me and I embarrassed you. I never meant for this day to go this way. I will try to earn your forgiveness till the day I die if that's what I takes, just please don't take you or my kids from me."
"I forgive you. Maybe I'm letting you get away with this to quickly, but I do love you and forgive you. So what if your first impression wasn't the best. You made up for it by keeping her safe." I kissed his lips softly while hearing the door close.
"Sergeant Maurice Boscorelli meet my husband Staff Sergeant Edward Cullen." I beamed with pride over remembering his title.
"Military Izzy bizzy?"
"Yup. Marines, Devil Doc." As scary as that is, fuck if I doesn't feel good to have pride in him and use it for some bragging.
"Shit son you got a fan club." Bosco smiled while shaking hands with Edward.
"Wouldn't have anyone else in it, what's the Izzy thing?"
"She can explain that one. I have to get going, you are lucky you Married her got you out of one hell of a ticket. Deck the truck out with some Devil Doc stickers and bring it by the house one of these day's soon so the guys will know to leave it alone. I will see you guys later. I hope to get to see you again sometime before you leave. Tough break. Charlie was telling me you ship out soon?"
"Yeah, it seems you are known and liked by Charlie and Bella here. Can you help keep an eye on her while I'm gone?"
"Wouldn't have it any other way, see you guys later." With that he walked to his car and left. I knew he raided my fridge and eaten almost as much as Emmett can.
We worked everything out with Edward and me. He since talked with my dad apologized and explained. After talking with Jane's mom we kept her with us to take out to dinner so she could meet Edwards's dad and ask questions, but so she wasn't alone and her parents didn't have to miss an important meeting. I have a feeling she is going to be a huge part of our family if I have anything to say about it.
***A/N***
I normally don't leave note here, but up next is dinner with the Cullen clan adding Bella, Jane, the kids and Bella's new shall we say parents… going to paper and pen to see if I can write some of this at work to try and get the updates out sooner. There should be a few more daily followings and then we will get to the deployment.
