Just a little note to say firstly thank you to all those who are still reading and reviewing, and as usual I don't own any of the twilight people but I so wish I did xx

Everything was finally ready to go just one thing left to do and that was to show Charlie what I looked like in the sun, it wasn't as though we could avoid it heading to the sunniest warmest island ever,

I had taken Edward with me for moral support and the fact that we had kept it secret from Charlie that Edward could read minds, that would give me an added insight into Charlie's reaction,

We headed into the reserve and parked just outside Charlie and Sue's house, it was still quite dull but Alice had promised a full blown sunny day by mid morning,

"Dad, you there?" I called opening the door,

"yeah in here honey just trying to close this case" Edward and I crossed into the bedroom and there was Charlie red as a beetroot trying to close this huge case, Edward walked over and pushed down and closed it with one hand, "Charlie looked at him,

"Well we can't all have super powers" he grumped at him,

Edward smiled, "your welcome Charlie," Charlie looked at him as he lifted the case of the bed and carried it single handed to the door and placed it beside the others,

"Dad you do know you will only need shorts and shirts on the island" I said looking at the cases,

"I know honey but sue has packed for everything just in case"

I smiled at him as he put his arm around my waist and walked out of the bedroom,

"What brings you here anyway honey you look a bit worried" I sat down in the seat and looked at him Edward sat down beside me,

"Charlie it's like this, im not sure how much you know about us but we need to show you something" Charlie looked at him then at me "I know quite a lot sue has filled me in on a few things, well the things I asked anyway"

I nodded "its nothing to bad, it's just about the sun," he looked at me and tilted his head

"Well if we are going to this island I take it you don't burst into flames"

Edward laughed, I dug him in the ribs "Ooww" he tried to stifle his laugh,

"So Bella spit it out what is it?" I looked at him

"Would you mind if I showed you" he looked at Edward and then back at me

"Ok but it needs to be quick, I have a fishing trip to go on later before we leave"

I smiled at him "ok dad no problem" we all got up and walked outside, the sun wasn't out yet, we drove up towards the track to the meadow, we stepped out of the car,

"Dad I want you to do something for me ok" Charlie looked at me "what?"

"I want you to let Edward pick you up" he looked at me then at Edward

"Don't think so Bella"

"Dad, please, it will take ages to get where we are going but only 5 minutes if you let Edward carry you" Charlie spun to look at Edward "you're not going to fly or anything are you?"

Edward shook his head trying to conceal a wide grin "of course not Charlie im a man not a bat"

Charlie looked round at me "well dad, I can do it if you would prefer?"

"Do what?"

I sighed "carry you" he frowned then looked at me

"Ok Bella, but this had better be worth it" Edward walked over to Charlie

"Will it be a piggy back or do you want me to just lift you in my arms" Edward was still trying to stop from bursting into laughter,

I lifted my shield and glared at Edward, he looked at me straight away

(So help me god Edward Cullen if you don't get a grip on yourself I'll murder you myself) he smiled and looked back at Charlie, "sorry Charlie", he swept Charlie up into his arms and Charlie threw his arm around his neck,

"Dad you might want to close your eyes the first time can be quite sickening"

He looked over at me from Edwards arms

"You're not helping Bella can we just get this over and done with please?"

We walked slowly at first into the trees then I heard Edward whispering to Charlie to hold on, he sprinted of in front of me still faster even holding Charlie,

It was a few seconds before I caught up with them at the edge of the now sunny meadow; Edward was standing with his hand on Charlie's shoulder,

"Dad, are you ok?" he looked up at me

"Yeah im fine that was a bit scary" I smiled at him

"Sorry it was the only way"

"And you move like that as well?" he asked, I nodded,

"Well what do you want to show me then kid?" I looked at Edward,

"Charlie our skin reacts differently to sun we kind of glitter" Charlie looked at him,

Edward unbuttoned his shirt and handed it to Charlie; he took it and watched as Edward stepped out into the meadow, the sun hit Edward and his skin burst into a million diamonds, I still couldn't believe how gorgeous he was,

I had completely forgotten Charlie was standing next to me, jumping a little when I felt him squeeze my hand,

"Is that why your skin is so hard is it made of diamonds?" I shook my head

"We're not made of diamonds it just looks like that"

"And that's what you will look like on holiday?" I nodded

"All of you?" I nodded again

"well go on kid let me see" I took a deep breath my throat burning a little with Charlie so close to me, I stepped out into the sun and took my little jacket off the sun hit my arms and my face and I could feel Charlie staring at me,

I lifted my shield and looked at Edward (is he ok with this?) Edward smiled and nodded towards Charlie, I looked round and Charlie was coming into the clearing,

"Bella it's beautiful you look like a million dollars" he took my hand and lifted it up turning it, just as I had done with Edwards,

"Its amazing Bella you're definitely full of secrets" I smiled at him

"You ok with this dad?" he smiled back at me

"Told you honey if your happy im happy and yes you look amazing" he hugged me to him,

"Now if you don't mind can we head back so I can get some fishing done before sue gets me to close anymore bloody cases"

I nodded and headed back into the trees with him, "dad I will take you back" he looked at me,

"Can you manage me honey im not as light as I used to be? I don't mind Edward doing it"

I smiled at him "im sure I'll cope"

I picked him gently up and held him into me, he put his arm around my back and I could feel him squeeze my side, we set off and I looked down at him his eyes were wide looking at the trees as we flew by them, a blur flew past us, he looked up at me "what was that?" I laughed

"Just Edward one day he will hit a tree at that speed" Charlie laughed as well,

When we left the forest Edward was already in the car with the engine running, Charlie got into the back and hit him on the back of the head,

"What was that for?" even though he knew the answer before Charlie said it

"You be careful with this running business the last thing we need is you hitting something" Edward nodded and burst out laughing, we dropped Charlie of at La Push and told him we would see him tomorrow,

Edward was laughing all the way home in the car, I lost count of how many times I hit him, but he just kept laughing at my expressions and Charlie's,

I got out of the car and flitted up in to the house, Edward came in through the garage door, I glared at him and turned my back on him, Emmett looked up from the couch where he was sitting with Rose

"Oh a lovers tiff is it" I glared at him

"No Edward is just a Muppet" Edward burst out laughing again, he wrapped his arms around my waist, I shrugged free and threw myself down on the sofa,

"What happened?" Rose asked glaring at Edward

"What you blaming me for I didn't do anything?" he smirked at Rose,

"Firstly he made it more awkward for Charlie by offering to carry him like a girl then he intentionally flew by us when I was carrying Charlie back to the car almost giving him a heart attack"

Edward and Emmett burst out laughing, Rose slapped Emmett the same time I slapped Edward,

Gemma appeared at the door, "hey guys what's going on?" I looked at her "Edward is a Muppet"

"Oh is that all" she replied before sitting beside Rose,

we spent most of the afternoon inside, due to it being sunny outside, I went up to Edwards room, he had all his journals stacked up on the side of the unit, I lifted one and took it over to the bed and lay down, I could hear Edward down stairs trying to show Gemma how to play the piano.

the journal wasn't dated inside, it had started just after new year describing how school was boring and how the humans around him bored him, he wished he could sleep his life a way or existence as he had corrected, his writing was as elegant as usual, I flicked through the pages, it told of Emmett and jasper having wrestling matches, how Jasper was finding it difficult and suffering over his new way of life and how this upset and worried Alice,

I reached the part where I had started school and how it tormented him that he couldn't read my mind, it didn't surprise me that Jessica's thoughts were mostly nasty as she had been pretty transparent all the way through school, it did strike me strange though that from the very first nasty thought of Jessica he had felt protective over me, I knew he had told me that in the restaurant but it was strange reading his thoughts it was though I could read his mind like he did every one else's, he had told me how he had wanted to kill me when I sat beside him in science but reading the ferocious feelings he had to fight back and understanding them more now, since I had the constant burning in the back of my throat even now after all this time with Charlie so close and now Gemma the pain only moved to the back of my mine never leaving always having that doubt that any minute I could slip up, just as Jasper had done on that fateful 18th birthday,

I smiled when I reached the part about us meeting again in science only this time it was Edward I had the pleasure of meeting not the demon that lived inside him,

I felt a sudden stab of sadness as the part where I told him about my mum, brought back happy but now painful memories, I swallowed hard and read on, the part where Tyler's van tried its hardest to kill me, it was strange to see that even though he could not read my mind, he knew me better than he had realised,

I couldn't say the part about Jasper wanting to kill me came as a surprise, I knew he would do what ever it took to keep Alice safe, just as all of us would, even now, if we had to choose between our family and the one we loved I was sure who would triumph, but I new the decision would not be made lightly,

I was however shocked at the fact even before he knew our future, he would side with me against his whole family not allowing them to harm me, even Mike was thankfully unaware just how much or how little it would have taken to break Edwards self control,

I laughed to myself when I remembered how clumsy I had been, I had almost forgotten, I frowned when I read about the day every boy seemed to be asking me to the stupid dance,

I read on about the first time I sat at his table and how he had pinched my bottle top, I looked over at the unit and saw the little plastic cap sitting beside a photo of us, I had wondered before where that had came from or why he hadn't thrown it out, I chuckled to myself as now I knew the secret,

it also seemed silly how I used to faint at the smell of blood considering my new diet, some vampire I would have made if I had brought that into my new life, I thought about the part where I had touched his hand he thought I had yanked it away because of the chill not knowing that I felt the electricity buzz between our skin,

I felt a little growl build when I remembered the men in the alley and how I could have lost everything then if he hadn't turned up when he did, I was surprised a little when I read how Carlisle had taken care of the man and left them where the police could find them, Edward had never mentioned that to me,

I laughed at the waitress in the restaurant I knew she was paying way to much attention to him and to think the cheeky sod tried to give him her number, I wandered if she was still working there, I remembered the feeling I got in science when we were watching the film, if I had know that Edward was feeling the exact same way I would have leaned over and touched his arm, but would we have been able to stop there, I read on till I came to the part about the meadow,

I didn't hear Edward enter the room my mind was engaged in the book, it was only when I felt his lips under my ear and his breath on my neck did I realise I was not alone,

I closed the book and turned to look at him, "are you enjoying it?" I smiled

"The book or the kiss?" he smiled at me "both of course"

I felt him kiss down my neck and along my shoulder, his hand moved up my back and traced shapes in my spine, I flipped round onto my back and looked up at him, he leaned down and kissed me gently,

"Did it bring back memories?" I nodded

"Yeah some good some sad and some interesting" he looked at me "interesting how?"

"You didn't mention the waitress tried to slip you her number?"

"What can I say, I dazzle people"

"And now I know where the bottle top on the unit came from" he looked over at the unit and smiled

"You had only to ask" I smiled back up at him,

"So now you know more about me than you already did" I smiled

"yes the fact that you were prepared to turn your back on your whole family for me before I had even spoke to you, the way you interpreted everything I did to be something negative against you,"

he smiled at me "its hard when I cant read your mind"

I chuckled to myself "well now you know how I felt"

He leaned back down and caught me in his arms "I love you Bella always will"

"I know it's just as well I love you just as much then isn't it"

I felt his lips press against mine and than as usual my mind was mush,
