Check Yes or No

Emily's House, La Push, Washington

April 17, 2009

Sky, age 13

"So, the reason why I have called the four," Sam cleared his throat and looked to the police chief. "Sorry, five of you here is because I'm thinking about asking Sue for her hand in marriage." Charlie said.

"That's great dad!" Sky exclaimed and rapped her arms around his neck in a tight hug. "I would love for Sue to be my mom."

Charlie smiled and rubbed her back. He looked at Leah, Seth and Emily who were practically her family! He had been wanting to talk to Seth privately, but he thought it would be better if Leah, Emily and Sky was involved too. He had already talk to Billy and the old coot had the biggest grin on his face, telling the police chief that he was happy that Charlie was going to ask Sue to marry him, heck he was excited to have the Swans on La Push land anyway!

"Seth, Emily, Leah, what do y'all think?" Charlie asked.

Sky looked to the Quileute natives with curious eyes. She was hoping that it'll be ok with them because Sky already saw them as family, heck Emily and Leah were already like her sisters.

Seth looked to his older sister and cousin with curious eyes, he looked back to Charlie and smiled. "I'm ok with it. I mean you can't replace my dad but if my mom's happy I'm happy."

Emily nodded. "Same. Charlie I already see you part of this family, so I'm ok with it too."

Leah sighed and ran her hand through her semi short hair, her hair was growing out since retiring from phasing with the pack. She wanted to start a life with Aidan and since Seth was still phasing, he has all the time in the world with Aileen. Aidan has since made sure he was aging with Leah so they could officially be together.

Leah did have reservation about Charlie being her stepdad, but Seth was right; no one could replace her dad, she was a daddy's girl growing up and she knew that Charlie would never replace her dad, but was she willing to be related to a leech? Maybe. But she liked the little tyke that was currently giving puppy eyes.

"Sure." She muttered. "I mean, Seth is right, no one and I mean no one can replace our dad, but you make our mom happy. So, yes we approve." Leah stood up and walked out the back porch to get some air.

Charlie blew out his breath and shook Seth's hand and pulled Emily in for a hug.

Sky got off her dad and said, "Um, I'll be right back." She rushed outside to see Leah sitting on the porch swing that was similar to Sam's. she sat next to the she-wolf and said, "I know that you miss uncle Harry and I do too, but please don't hate my dad for wanting to marry mom, I mean Sue."

Leah raised her eyebrows at Sky and shook her head. "I don't hate Charlie, I just hate that-"

"You think he'll replace the memories of uncle Harry?" Sky asked.

Leah nodded. "Yeah, yeah that's defiantly it. But if he doesn't hurt my mom then I'm ok with Charlie being my stepdad." She chuckled. "Whoa, I'm 23 and I'm calling the Forks police chief my stepdad."

Sky moved closer to her and said, "I'll be your stepsister, which is good for me because Bella was never really my sister. I have always seen you and Emily as my older sisters, so I'm happy you're gonna be part of my family."

Leah laughed and pulled Sky into her warm person. "Yeah I can agree to that, but when it comes to holidays I will not talk to Bella and her leech child."

"Done deal." Sky said. "So, how do you think my dad is gonna propose to your mom?"

"Uh, I dunno." Leah shrugged. "He'll figure it out."

Sky pulled away from her stepsister and smiled. "I got an idea." She ran to the kitchen and said, "Daddy, I got an idea on how you can propose to mom, I mean aunt Sue." Charlie nodded while the others moved towards her. "Ok, here's what you can do…"

April 21, 2009

It was four days later and after much planning it was time for the plan to come fruition.

Charlie had called the most famous Bella Italian restaurant in Forks, he had Emily and Leah makeup Sue as a surprise for the both of them.

He had been sitting at the restaurant for a good thirty minutes until he got a text from Sam saying that Sue was on her way. She was being chauffeured by Quil while Torin was being babysat by Jacob and Melissa.

Once she arrived Charlie stood tall in his best dressed causal suit and blushed when he saw Sue walk in.

Beautiful. He thought. He gulped and got an eyeful of her.

Sue was wearing a turquoise floral cocktail dress that had lace that squared at the neckline and it was knee length, her hair was up in an elegant hairdo, small disco ball earrings, six-inch sliver high heels, and an amethyst chunky bracelet. Her makeup was natural aside from the mauve lip stick and mascara that coated her eyes.

Sue blushed and pulled Charlie into a warm embrace and lightly pecked him on the lips. "Hello handsome," She greeted.

Charlie blushed and cleared his throat. "Hello." He said. He pulled her chair out like a gentleman.

She sat down and looked around the restaurant. "I haven't been here since my first date with Harry." Sue said.

Charlie chuckled as he sat across from her. "Same, but with Renee, not Harry." He sighed while Sue giggled.

They sat in a couple of minutes of silence until a waitress came and broke the awkwardness of it all.

Sue order water with chicken alfredo while Charlie ordered Bud Light and meaty marinera and their deserts were carrot cakes for two.

After they had eaten their food, they decided to stay and talk, so that way Charlie can finally pop the question. "So, I think we should make a toast," Charlie said. Charlie lifted his glass while Sue fallow in suit. "We have been together for two years, made a beautiful child together and have just as beautiful family."

"Cheers to that." She said.

"But there is something else." Charlie said. He set his drink down before taking a quick drink to clam his nerves.

"Charlie, you ok?" She asked.

He nodded. "Yeah, just…" He looked into her eyes and gripped her hands. "Sue Clearwater, I love you with all my heart. We have two beautiful years together and you make me happy. You make Sky happy and I think that is the most beautiful thing in the world. I love you in my own ways, I love how you smile, you know your fish and how good of a mother you are to not only my little Chickadee but to your own kids."

Sue brushed away her tears and chuckled when he kissed her knuckles.

"I know I can't replace Harry, but I know I can be the love that feels that empty hole in your chest that he left behind." Charlie let out a breath and handed her a note. "Sky had this idea, but I'm hoping you check the right answer." He laid a pen by her side and gave her a small smile.

Sue opened the note that said, "Would you be my wife? Check yes or no." She gasped and looked at him. "Oh, Charlie." She muttered. She took the pen, folded the note back up and handed it back to him.

Charlie opened the note and smiled when he saw her answer.

Sue nodded and brushed her happy tears away. "Yes, Charlie, I will marry you."

He smiled, he got the ring out and placed it on her left ring finger. It was a simple ring, well move vintage then anything. "Um, I was my great grandmothers from world war two. I never gave it to Renee because she wasn't the one, you're my one Sue and I'm happy I'm putting it on your finger."

Sue chuckled and pulled Charlie across the table to pull him into a deep kiss. When they pulled back, she kissed his nose and whispered, "I love you," She said.

Charlie smiled and brushed a stray tear. "I love you too."

Once they paid the cheque and said goodbye to the other restaurateurs, they were on their way back to La Push.

Sue looked down at her ring and smiled. She was happy that Charlie finally asked her, she wasn't in any hurry, but she was hoping that he asked and that maybe one day they would get married either on the beach or at the court house, she wasn't picky at all.

Sue and Charlie were getting older and they didn't want something grand and huge, so something simple and small was more up their speed.

When they finally arrived home, they saw that all the lights were off in the house except for Sky's room, her lights were still on.

Charlie looked to his fiancé, oh he wasn't going to get use to that, and asked, "You ready for this?"

Sue looked to Charlie and nodded. "Let's go." She lightly kissed his cheeks and got out of the cruiser.

As they walked up the steps to their humble abode, they saw that Embry and Quil had passed out on their couch while the TV was still on. Charlie shook his head and patted their shoulders which jerked them awake.

"Y'all need to get home, boys." Charlie said. They groaned and said their goodbyes to the couple. Charlie sighed and shook his head. "Let's get out of these monkeys' suits and call it a night."

They walked up the stairs and walked by Seth's room who was clearly sawing logs, Leah's room was empty since she moved in with Aidan and finally Sky who was watching the Lizzie McGuire Movie.

Charlie knocked on the door and they walked into her room. Sky smiled at them and sat up tall.

"Well?" She asked. Sue showed the youngest Swan her ring which had squeal like a squirrel. "Yes, I knew it! I knew that it would work!" She exclaimed. Sky pulled both her dad and Sue into her arms and rubbed their backs. "I'm happy for y'all." She pulled back and smiled at Sue. "I'm excited for you to be my mom."

Sue chuckled and kissed her head. "I am too, Chickadee." She muttered. Sky giggled and hugged them one last time before saying goodnight.

Once Sky hit the hay Charlie and Sue was about to call it too when he pulled her into a deep kiss and hugged her.

"I really do love you, Sue." He said.

"I love you too, Charlie." She lightly pecked his lips and rubbed his back. "C'mon, the kids are asleep, let's celebrate our engagement in our own way."

Charlie smirked and tickled Sue's side which had her smiling and moaning throughout the night.

Sue Clearwater-Swan, that had a nice ring to it.

Author's Notes: She said yes! Yay! I am so happy that they are getting married which will be the next update, so be on the look out for that. But, I hope y'all enjoyed it and I will see y'all a next time, bye, bye!
