A/N: This is the last chapter. I hope you enjoyed Never Forever. Please review when you get a chance. I also wrote my version of Breaking Dawn which I will start posting next week. Thank you for reading this and thank you Stephenie for the wonderful world of Twilight.

Chapter 38:

It has been over two months since my wedding and other than my brief honeymoon; I have rarely left my father's side while he was awake. Edward stays with me most of the time, and Billy and others stop by as much as possible.

Carlisle made frequent stops to check on Charlie, but I didn't need to be a doctor to know Charlie's time on this mortal coil was coming to an end. The cancer had quickly ravaged his body, and all anyone could hope for was that he wouldn't suffer too long.

Edward left to hunt and Charlie and I sat alone in his bedroom. He was asleep, like usual. I sat like a statue next to him, trying to remember all the tiny details of our time together.

Charlie's eye's slowly opened, and he squinted to adjust to the sunlight streaming in from the window. When he saw me he smiled.

"Bella, you're still here," he said. It was a statement not a question.

"I told you Dad, I am not going anywhere."

"Where's Edward?"

"Camping with his family."

"Always camping they are," Charlie said and laughed at what he said. "So Bella, this dream I am having, when it ends, how will I know?"

"What do you mean Dad, you're not dreaming. I am really here." Everyone had been telling him this since the moment he first saw me, but he never believed us. He was convinced it was all a dream, the best dream he had ever had.

"So are you here to escort me to whatever's next?" He had never asked me that before.

"What do you mean Dad?" I asked confused.

He sat up quickly. "Bella I finally realized it," he shouted excitedly. "You're an angel, sent here to take me home. I can see by the way you're glowing, you're an angel."

I hadn't noticed that sun was shining in the window was at a perfect angle to illuminate my arms and face, my sparkle.

"Yes Dad, I'm an angel." I said calmly.

"I always knew," Charlie said happily. He opened his eyes wide and studied everything about me. The sparkles of my skin were causing rainbows to dance across his face as he broke into a huge grin. He lay his head back on his pillow, drew in one last breath and never breathed again. I had never seen him so happy, or content or at peace.

My father was off to whatever comes next.

I kneeled down on the floor next to the bed and grabbed his hand in mine. I prayed for the first time in many years. I wished that Charlie would be happy in heaven, that there would always be a big game on television for him to watch. I hoped that the fishing was better where ever he was now, and that policemen were given their just reward in the next life.

I have no idea how long I prayed, but I faintly heard someone saying my voice. I opened one eye to see Edward standing at the door whispering my name.

"Hi," I said when our eye's met.

"Alice is calling Billy so he can be here for the ambulance. We need to go very soon."

"Come here," I said and motioned Edward over with my free hand. "Pray with me please," I begged in a timid voice.

"Of course my love." Edward sat kneeled down next to me and closed his eyes. After a couple of minutes of silence I stood up and he followed. We walked to the door to the hallway and just as I was about to cross the threshold I mouthed, "Good night, Dad. I love you."

I blindly followed Edward down the steps to kitchen where Alice was waiting. She hugged me as I got close.

"Do you think he will forgive me," I asked them both nervously.

"For what?" Alice asked.

"For telling him I was an angel…"

"Bella my love," Edward said pulling me from Alice's arms and into his. "That was not a lie. I knew it since the day I met you. You will always and forever be my angel."

A/N: Thanks for reading this, I hope you enjoyed it. I will start posting my version of Breaking Dawn in a few days, it's not as good this in my opinion but who knows... Maybe you will like it. It takes awhile to get going but when it does it's not bad.
