I DON'T OWN ANYTHING RELATED TO TWILIGHT.

DPOV

After three days in the hospital they let Bella come home. I pull into the garage and help her out of the truck. We take our time walking into the house because she is still a bit sore. I get her settled on the couch.

"Do you nee anything baby?"

"A glass of water please." I kiss her temple and head in the kitchen where C and Charlie are coloring at the kitchen table.

"Hey you're back." Charlie states I nod.

"Hi daddy where mama?"

"She's out on the couch buddy." He nods and takes off.

"He really missed her."

"Yeah he did are you ok son?" I sit down in the chair my son just vacated.

"I don't know. I'm happy she is safe and home. But the thought of her being out of my sight scares the living fuck out of me. What if something happens again? What if I don't find her next time? What if she dies next time? I almost lost the only woman I have ever loved. I almost lost my unborn daughter. My son almost lost his mother. I can't live without her Charlie. She won't let me hover or let my obsession continue for long. What am I going to do?" I put my head in my hands. All I want to do is cry. I just said out loud all my fears and it scares me.

"Son, you can't place her in a bubble. You're right she will only put up with you hovering for so long. She is stubborn and independent. Bella loves you more then anything. You know she will always do whatever she has to to return to you. You have to trust her son. You can't protect her from everything in the world as much as you would like to you can't. She will never accept being treated as a breakable porcelain doll. " I nod knowing he is right. I get up and get her a glass of water and go back to the living room.

I smile when I see the picture in front of me. Bella is laying down with Christian in front of her. They are wrapped in a blanket both sound asleep with Spongebob playing in the background. I sit the glass down on the coffee table and kneel in front of them. I push the hair that has fallen over her face back gently. Letting my fingers trail down her cheek. I watch as her eyes slowly blink open.

"Hey babe." She whispers

"Hey baby you ok?" She nods

"Come lay with us?"

"Of course." I take off my shoes and shirt. I need to feel her against me. Even with just a tank top on I need to feel her warmth. To remind myself that her and the baby are ok. I climb in gently behind her and wrap my arms around her and Christian.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too D." We lay there for a few minutes in silence just enjoying being close to each other.

"I know you are scared D but it will be ok. Your family helped me keep us safe. He is gone I watched him burn until there was nothing but ash left. He can't hurt us again. The other evil is gone too." How does she always know what I am feeling.

"But what about the others? What if they try to take you from me too?" She turns her head to look up at me.

"Then we will end them just like we did the others. I will not allow anyone or anything to come between us. Ever." I kiss her temple and hold her tighter as I succumb to the sleep I have been depriving myself of.

CHARLIE POV

I sat in the kitchen for awhile knowing they needed sometime as a family. It's been quiet so I decide to go see if everything is alright.

I can't help but smile. Dante has his arm around my daughter with his hand on her belly. Bella is holding Christian who is snuggled as close as humanly possible to her. Dante's other hand is on his back and they are asleep.

I admit when she first brought him home I wasn't impressed. When I took the time to look past the tattoos and appearance I was finally able to see a good man. He has always put her and Christian above everything else.

I thought when that Cullen kid left her I would lose her forever. I watched for months where she wouldn't eat, barely slept, and never spoke. When she did sleep she would wake up screaming. I watched as she was found in the woods nearly dead from the elements. I saw the little spark of life that was left fade out after she got home from the hospital. Then she returned from visiting Renee over the holidays. She was laughing and smiling. For the first time in months she looked alive and the one person I wanted to hate for taking my little girl away was the one I owed my thanks to. At the end of the day what more could a dad ask for but a loving husband for his daughter and a good father for his grandchildren. I got all of those with Dante and I thank the high heavens that they found each other.

I head upstairs to my room and follow there lead and take a nap it has been a hectic week.

A/N: My husband had a kidney transplant so I will update as much as possible. I love the Charlie in this story he isn't so uptight. I hope you Enjoy!
