Chapter Thirteen
CPOV (Charlie)
I slumped down on my bed, having just left my kids in the lounge with their respective others and dragged my hand down my face. I always knew this day would come, but shit, I didn't know it would come this soon! That boy in there, one that I had never met before today had just told me in no uncertain terms that he would be the one to marry my daughter. My twenty one year old daughter. The daughter that I had almost single handily raised by myself. The daughter that was still in college. I'm not stupid. I knew the moment Bella introduced me to him, by the tone of her voice, that she was in love with him and the adoring looks he gave her in return showed that he loved her just as much but they were so young.
I had been there before. Young and in love. Thinking that there would be no one else for me ever. Look where that got me. Married at nineteen, a father at twenty one and divorced by the time I was twenty five. I may be well aware that my daughter is not Renee and Edward is not me but the father in me was worried.
Worried for my little girl's heart and fragile emotions.
What if he hurt her?
What if they married and got pregnant only to realise that it was not what they wanted?
What if she got pregnant and he decided it wasn't what he wanted?
So many 'What if's'.
Only one way to find answers, I supposed. I needed to have a man to man chat with Mr. Edward Cullen. And soon.
A/N - Trust me, it was better this way!
