A/N – Here is the last chapter that is prewritten. The dinner with Charlie? Hope you like it and I will have a teaser up for the next chapter on the forums later on today. I know I have spoiled you with updating but honestly I usually do update once or twice a week even when I write as I go. I should have the next chapter ready to go by Tuesday!

Thanks as always for the response to this and all the great reviews. They make my day.

Thanks again and enjoy!

I do not own!

I woke up in time to start preparing dinner for our "talk" this evening. I was a nervous wreck over what he could possibly want to talk about. Granted I had a very good idea but I wasn't prepared for this. It was one thing to have Emmett bombard us with questions, it was anything entirely to have your dad question you.

Dinner was in the oven and Edward and I sat down on the couch together to watch television while we waited for Charlie to return. As soon as Edward heard his car approaching he moved to a different couch entirely. No need to get him riled up before dinner even started.

Charlie walked in the door and looked at both of us and sighed. He took off his jacket and hung it up and then grabbed a beer and came to sit in his chair. We all just sat there, no one wanting to be the first one to say anything. Edward didn't even greet Charlie so I knew that he must be thinking some serious things to keep Edward quiet.

Finally Charlie cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Edward, I want to thank you for coming here tonight," he made a cursory glance in his direction but didn't quite look at him.

"Thank you for having me over sir," Edward always gave good manners.

"I have something that I want to say, I should have written it down but bear with me please. Edward, did Bella tell you about what I gave her last night," poor Charlie, this was like torture for him.

"Yes, she shared them with me this morning," Charlie's face drained completely of color and Edward immediately either realized his error or heard Charlie's thoughts which couldn't be all that happy at the moment.

"She….she…shared…used…shared….morning….my house…," I ran to the kitchen to get him some water.

I could hear Edward trying to rectify his statement. "No sir, she told me, we didn't share them. I didn't even touch them," poor Edward. I stifled my laughter as I walked back into the room. He apparently didn't feel the need to add that he would never touch them thankfully. I still wanted to have a father at the end of this night.

"Charlie," his face was bright red when I got back into the room. I handed him the water and he took a long drink before he looked up at us again. I went to sit down next to Edward but he was shaking his head furiously so I detoured to the other couch. Now I just sat and waited.

I watched them as I took a drink of water and tried to calm myself down. What was it about that boy that flustered me? Granted the fact that it seemed like he had just admitted to having his way with my baby this morning wasn't helping the situation. But when I looked at him he just seemed so much older than 17 sometimes and it bothered me. It was obvious even to me that he worshipped and adored Bella. What more could a father ask for? Well for him to not touch her but worship her from afar instead would be much better. Maybe he could just take a picture of her and hold onto that. They could have a mutually satisfying relationship over the phone. People did it all the time.

Okay, that probably wasn't an actually option here but I felt that it was my fatherly duty to remind them to be responsible. She was my baby but I wasn't going to lose her by refusing to acknowledge that she was growing up, despite how badly I wanted to deny it.

"Okay you two let's just get this over with. Please don't interrupt me. Just let me get this out," they both nodded and looked at each other quickly thinking that I didn't notice. Didn't they know by now that I saw everything? That I knew everything that happened in this town?

Edward started coughing furiously and Bella went to get him a glass of water too. She might as well grab herself one also while she was in there. Once she sat down again I started over again.

"I know that since the other night when I caught you….let's just call it….um…I caught you two playing Scrabble. Yes, playing Scrabble. Well you need to be certain that when you play Scrabble that you are careful, otherwise you might lose a letter or spell something wrong and then you would need to get help. There are so many different words out there and you want to make sure that you pick the best one to get the most points and um…" I looked up hoping that they would understand where I was going with this.

Bella looked completely and utterly confused. She held up her hand like she wanted to ask a question. At this point I welcomed the interruption so I just waved my hand in her direction letting her know that it was fine for her to talk.

"Char…Dad, um…," she shook her head and she was bright red but she continued. "Okay, if I am to understand you correctly you are concerned that when playing Scrabble we aren't going to use the right word and score the most points? What does that mean exactly?"

Edward didn't say a word. He appeared to be taking a very long drink of water so I just looked away and focused on Bella. This would all be easier if I didn't look at him.

"Well perhaps that wasn't the best analogy so I'm just going to lay it out there. I'm not stupid enough to believe that the mere act of me asking you to stop having sex will actually work," Bella and I both avoided eye contact at this point. "But I need you to be smart about it Bella. There are many options when it comes to birth control. Nothing is 100% effective, well nothing that you would be willing to try, but if used together you can maximize the efficiency. That is why I got you condoms yesterday. I will get them for you anytime you need them, no questions asked. I…um….I also made you a doctor's appointment this week."

"A doctor's appointment?" I looked up at her and she looked stunned.

"Yes, I've seen it happen too many times in this small town. I made an appointment for you so that you can get put on birth control," she just sat there and blinked rapidly. "I can go with you if you would like." Please say no…please say no.

"NO! No, I mean thank you but no. I can handle that by myself," she looked about as comfortable as I felt having this talk. It looked like it was taking all Edward's control to not go to her and comfort her.

I stood up and walked over to her and sat down next to her and squeezed her hand. "Look Bells, I love you. I realize that you are growing up and that although I don't always agree with the decisions you are going to make I will support you when I can. I'm not willing to lose you okay," she looked up at me and smiled. Her eyes were shiny and that was something I couldn't handle. Tears just scared me. "Okay…do I smell dinner?"

She nodded and then got up and went into the kitchen. I made sure that she was out of earshot before I turned to Edward.

"I'm only going to say this to you once. I'm doing this for Bella. I'm not willing to lose her over this but if you or someone in your family hurts one hair on her head you will answer to me! I will not hesitate to make you pay. Are we clear?"

"Yes sir," he stood up and shook my hand. "I promise you Chief Swan that I will do everything in my power to keep Bella from ever getting hurt. You have my word that I will protect her for as long as she will let me."

See, when he said stuff like that I felt like he was older than me for some reason. I didn't like it one bit.

"If she ever comes home upset again over something that your brother said again I will be having a word with him too."

"Of course sir, Esme and Carlisle already spoke with him regarding that. You have my assurance that it won't happen again." I nodded my head and headed to the kitchen for dinner.

I was satisfied that I had accomplished what I set out to do. Perhaps if they knew that I knew what they were doing they would think twice about it. Doubtful I know but a father could hope.

Bella was lucky that she was dating a vampire. Any lesser human would be intimidated by her father and never come back to her house again. Hell, vampire or not I had to admit that even I was a little intimidated. He loved her, that much was obvious to anyone and the lengths he was willing to go to in order to prove it were admirable.

Dinner was a quiet affair. No one would was willing to make eye contact and talk was minimal to nonexistent. We all finished as quickly as possible. After the fiasco that was last night's dinner I decided that I would actually have to eat this meal and deal with the consequences later. I drew the line at the ice cream for dessert though. It was cold and slimy going down and I wanted no part of that.

After the quiet dinner I decided that it would be the perfect time for me to head home. We did have school tomorrow so I claimed that I had some homework to finish after the busy weekend. I gave Bella a chaste kiss on the cheek and shook Charlie's hand again thanking him for having me over for dinner. I would be back later but he didn't need to know that, I'm sure he wouldn't be so willing to hand out condoms if he knew I spent every night in bed with his daughter.

Bella walked me to the door, she still had a hint of pink to her, poor thing heard things she never wanted to hear from her father tonight.

"It will be okay, I promise," I whispered and squeezed her hand.

She smiled and then laughed, "I know, I love you," she gave me one last hug and waved to me as I drove away. As I got closer to home I could hear my family laughing and I dreaded what I would find when I got back. I just couldn't wait until enough time had passed that I could get back to Bella. As I walked in the door it was clear what everyone had found so funny, I couldn't stop myself from laughing either. There in the middle of the dining room table Rosalie and Emmett were engaged in a rousing game of Scrabble.

It wasn't your usual Scrabble game though. In this version you could only use sexually explicit words so the board was filled with things that I don't even care to repeat. This was Emmett and Rosalie after all. Their ability to use so many of the letter tiles is a testament to their creativity. It was all possibly more information than anyone cared to ever know about them.

"Hey Edward, good to have you home," Emmett looked up at me and smiled. "Alice told me that you enjoy a good game of Scrabble every now and then," I just rolled my eyes at him. It wasn't even worth engaging him in this line of conversation.

"Thanks Alice for sharing," she giggled and shrugged her shoulders.

"It really was too good not to share Edward. Every since you and Bella started to play Scrabble I'm tuned into everything that happens to her. Poor Charlie, I didn't think he was going to make it for a second there," she was curled into a ball on the couch now laughing. She finally pulled herself together though and walked over to me. Not using any words she let me know that she would accompany Bella to the doctor this week if necessary. Thankfully she hadn't shared that information with everyone else.

"Thanks Alice, I'll let her know," I wasn't sure if she would want anyone with her but I would talk to her about it later on tonight.

Declining to join in the next round of the game I just sat and watched for a while and laughed at what Jasper and Emmett came up with in this round. It was a nice way to stay occupied while I waited for enough time to pass so that I could go and see Bella again. When I determined that enough time had passed I stood up and told everyone goodbye.

"Bye Eddie," I really hated that name. "Guess you have your own Scrabble game waiting for you? Remember, you get extra points if you use all the letters. You have to be very…," he was on a roll I could tell but he was cut off before he could get much further.

"Emmett McCarty Cullen," Esme's voice came from upstairs. "Do we need to have another discussion about this?"

We all tried to hold back our laughter wanting to keep Esme's focus strictly on Emmett.

"No Mom, sorry Edward," he mumbled and then quickly shook his head no while mouthing I'm not sorry.

"No worries Emmett," I patted him on the back and ran out the door and headed back to Bella. While I ran I wondered if perhaps she would be wearing anything from our shopping trip and ran even faster. I got to her house, heard Charlie sleeping soundly and climbed in her room after removing the bars.

She was sitting in her bed reading a book waiting for me. She looked up when I walked in and finished the paragraph she had been reading before putting her book down. Standing up she removed her robe and got into bed. I stopped where I was once the robe fell to the ground and just stared at her. I hadn't seen that in her pile this afternoon but I had been understandably distracted. Finally gaining control of my legs again I walked towards her and just pulled her close to me. Wrapping my arms around her I pulled us to the bed and brought her down on top of me. Her lips found mine and my hands moved along her body.

She pulled away breathless and then smiled that evil smiling I was beginning to love. "Well I was thinking that since Charlie gave us his blessing…."

She didn't get to finish that sentence as her lips were suddenly occupied.

A/N…I really do love Scrabble and for some odd reason that was the only thing that popped into my head for this chapter. If that gives you some insight into how my crazy mind works. Hehe.

Working on the next chapter now…I think you can imagine where it is going.

Thanks again!
