Part 6 - Charlie's Funeral

Just a week later, the funeral happened, and it was a very beautiful ceremony, as even their friends showed up to it, including the Spears' family, who had become like a family to Bella and Jay, not only due to that Jay had worked with Eddie and Michael, but also for they hung out after set time, and had become family more than just friends or brothers and sister to each other.

She was forever grateful for their coming to Forks, and help out as much they could with the whole thing, as it was an overwhelming thing to go through, and them being there aswell Jay of course, made it alot easier at least for the moments she needed it or them there for her.

The Cullens stood in the back, watching them all as the funeral was what Charlie had wanted it to be like, and his death was ruled as an accidental death due to him falling over a cliff, in reality he had been murdered by Victoria, and she had made it look like he had fallen down a cliff.

Jacob and his dad was also near the back, as the two had been told that they were not family, therefore not allowed to stay up front with Bella either, as Bella had told Father Weber of their issues and that she was a very happily married woman and Jacob was nothing a boy of her childhood.

Billy wasn't her godfather, as she never had one nor a godmother either, so he had no business to be upfront. But that belonged to Old Quil, for he had married Charlie's aunt, Molly, and therefore was family to Bella, and so was Quil Jr, so they were allowed up there to sit by their side.

As soon the ceremony was over, the pallbearer who was chosen to be his team of police officers, took his chest out to the pre-dugged grave, and everyone was then allowed forward one by one, to lay a flower or dirt if you didnt have a flower to lay ontop the chest where now deceased Charles Swan laid to rest in.

Now he could finally rest in peace, and Bella could move forward with her life with Jay and their unborn baby would know about its grandparents, and know where they were at and that they could come by and lay flowers when they are old enough to go there too. As Charles was laid to rest in Forks, Renee and Phil had been laid to rest in Jacksonville in Florida, while Jay's parents were in Navajo Nation in Arizona, where he originally came from too.

Bella and Jay held hands, as the two took hold of the flowers that Michael's mother who also was here with her own husband, Patrick Sr and their children aswell were here, she had made for them, and together they tossed it over all other flowers and dirt that had been thrown by the other guests, and Jay said something in his native tongue, while doing so, and Bella understanding it well, she had a soft smile, and he held her waist, then they turned around, and the priest gave the digger a signal to do the rest of the dirt over the chest to be put over and down into the grave.

Then they left for the funeral home, which was to be Charlie's ex-house, as the sale was going well, and the bidding was on aswell, so she was waiting for the phone-call of a bid being taken care of and being accepted, for she had told the agent to accept it if the bid actually over the asking price.

As soon the two came into the house, Mary and Patrick Sr with their children came over, Mary pulled Bella into her warm arms, and Bella wept abit into her shoulder, while Patrick Sr and Jr aswell the siblings of Michael and Eddie who also were there, shook Jay's hand or gave him a hug aswell, then Mary gave him a hug aswell, while Bella was given hugs by the men of the Spears' family, who all loved her like sister/daugther, and she too loved them as her brothers/father too.

Everyone stared at this point over at them, wondering who is these people that is hugging and kissing cheeks, as Father Weber came over, said

"Bella, who are these people with you?" Bella said, as she let go of Michael, who laid an easy hand onto her back, as support, while Jay went over to her side, and took hold of her hand, while she spoke to the priest;

"This is Jay, my husband of 2 years, and this is friends of ours; Michael and Eddie, with their family members; Patrick Sr, Jr, Clay, Matthew and Lesley, aswell Matthew's wife, Julie and that over there is Michael's two boys, Nate and Alex. My godsons."

Many were shocked to hear all of this, as Jay just held her closer to himself, while the Spears' family shook hands with the priest or gave polite smiles and nods. Edward was shocked to hear that His Bella was a godmother to two boys, who mentioned went over to her side and grasped her freed hand in theirs or onto her skirt of her dress. She looked down and smiled to the two boys, who gave toothless grin up at her, as Jay grinned at the two, as he was an honourary godfather to the two aswell.

While others were shocked to hear she was a married woman, and not to Edward Cullen the weirdo of the town either but to a tall, rather handsome, muscular Native American man, who didnt seemed to have come from here either. Jay stood by her side, his arm now around her waist, as the boys who had taken hold of her skirt of her dress or hand, had gone back to a smiling Michael, who took an arm around each boy of his.

Either way a beautiful day of the funeral as it didnt rain, nor be sunny outside, as it was rather foggy, cloudy day but perfect weather to have a funeral in. So all of them just sat at their places, and talk amongst themselves, Edward kept staring at Bella's back, with looks of determination in his eyes, he would get her to talk to them, not just himself, but the whole family before she left town, not he knew that an offer would be make before today was over, and in few days they would be gone from town already. As the two were going to come with the Spears' family to their home, and spent a week with them, before finally going back home to Arizona, where their home was.
