I arrived safely in Italy and checked into a hotel that had vacancy. I then rented a dark car and drove to Caius's hideout. I drove slowly around the building and saw armed guards packing some serious muscle. I determined quickly that this wouldn't be easy. I headed back to the hotel and I turned my laptop and cell phone on. I had about 40 messages on both things and I realized that my twelve hours had expired while I was in a sky. Caius had sent a message saying that I was out of time and he was going to the press. He also sent me the link to the press release on it. My phone had many messages from Carlisle trying to get me to not give in and had a few suggestions. Then there were about 20 messages in both places that were from my parents and friends. I was in serious trouble. On the upside, I wasn't in trouble with the law since Carlisle had called the FBI as he texted me and let them know the real story. I was just in serious trouble with my parents.
I called my mom for a conversation I was dreading. Almost as much as the one I dreaded to ask Bella's father for her hand in marriage.
I knew that Bella wasn't as against the idea of marriage at this point due to recent talks and how she had been acting recently. I wanted to go to Chicago to ask her father in person for his blessing on the marriage but I determined that it would be overly suspicious to Bella and I truly wanted this to be a surprise.
"Hello, Mr. Swan, this is Edward Masen."
"Oh, Edward. How can I help you?"
"Actually I wanted to ask you a question."
"Alright, what is it?"
"Can I have your blessing on marrying Bella?"
"Have you already asked her?"
"Of course not, sir. I want your permission first in this matter."
"Do you think she will say yes?"
"I wouldn't ask her if I thought otherwise."
"Do you love her, Edward?"
"Absolutely."
"Then I think you know my answer, son."
"Really?"
"Definitely, if you really love Bella then I couldn't have her in better hands. I also think you will keep her grounded despite that god awful job of hers."
"Thank you so much sir. I really appreciate it."
"Good luck."
I hung up the phone and smiled to myself. I wasn't expecting it to be so easy.
AN: Next chapter is the conversation with his mom. We are in the final chapter run…please review!
