A/N: It's not mine.

I have no beta.

CHPOV

When Renee walked out on me and took our daughter, I nearly died from the loss. It wasn't Renee leaving that hurt so much. It was that the selfish bitch took our daughter with her.

I regretted marrying that female within the very first month. A close friend of mine had caught Renee in Seattle with some strange guy she picked up at a club. She was all over him and didn't seem to care that she was in public. She also didn't care that she had a husband and daughter at home.

Bella's birth was really the only reason why I proposed to Renee. I wanted my baby girl near me as much as possible. Frankly, I never trusted Renee. She was too flighty and self-absorbed even back then.

We were both young and stupid. However, I wasn't too stupid to forget to wear a raincoat. As I said, I never trusted Renee. Fate, however, is a bitch and Renee got pregnant anyway.

When Bella moved in with me, it was the happiest day in my life second to only her birth. I have had the distinct privilege of watching her grow, fall in love for the first time, have her heart broken for the first time, become a martial artist, graduate high school, attend college, and become the person she was meant to be. My kid was awesome, and Renee had nothing to do with it.

I made it back to forks in good time. My wife was waiting for me at the airport, and I went into detail about what happened on our drive back to the reservation. I wanted to clean up first before heading down to the police station.

Sue was livid. She loved Bella like she was her own and couldn't understand why Renee would steal from her own daughter. "That bitch!" she yelled angrily. "What a low life. I remember when I met her. I seriously questioned your sanity then. She is so self-absorbed. Promise me, Charlie, that you re going to make sure she pays for what she has done," my wife ordered.

"Believe me, sweetheart, there's nothing you can say that I haven't already said. I am beyond disgusted over this," I told her as she pulled into our small driveway. "I'm going to make sure the judge knows that she disowned Bella. There's no way she's going to talk her way out of this mess."

"I feel so bad for Bella, though," she said as she walked ahead of me to unlock the front door.

"I had a quick chat with her. She has no love left for Renee and encouraged me to try to make sure the book gets thrown at Renee. Bella and I both think she is going to try to get out of trouble and will use anything she can, including Bella, to get her way," I told her while on my way to our bedroom.

"I know you'll do whatever it takes to protect Bella. I'm certainly happy that she has at least one loving parent," she said giving me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"She has two. Bella considers you to be her mother now," I informed her. My lovely wife just stood there in shock and then a huge smile spread across her face.

"That's the most wonderful thing you've ever told me," she said as she tried to fight back her tears. "I'll leave you to get cleaned up. I have to head over to the diner to take Shelly's shift. Good luck at the station," she told me while she gave me another quick kiss and headed out the door.

I sped through my shower and got dressed in record time. I didn't bother with my uniform since I was off duty but I did remember to grab my badge in case I needed to flash it to some people. The badge has a lot of power and I have no issues with using it.

When I got there, Chris Stevens was still on duty and didn't look at all surprised when I walked through the front door. "I knew you were going to show up, Chief," he greeted me with a smirk.

"I wasn't about to let this mess wait until I got back from my vacation," I responded with an eye roll. "I want you to give me a rundown on what happened, a detailed report," I said.

"Dispatch received a call last night at around 2227 hours. The report said that there was someone in the house at 184 6th St, Forks. The homeowner was reported to be out of town, so no one was supposed to be there," he began as he told me everything that had happened in great detail. "The suspect put up one hell of a fight. She kept claiming that she had permission to be there and that her daughter and ex-husband lived there. Honestly, Chief, the suspect doesn't even know that you moved out and the house belongs to your daughter now."

"That right there is why I came back early," I pointed out to him. I walked over to the coffee pot and poured myself a large mug of the good stuff. After adding some sugar and creamer, I went to my office to sit down at my desk. I grabbed the top folder off of the pile on my desk and rifled through it. It just so happened to be the report Chris was telling me about.

"I figured that was the reason. Just so you know, your ex-wife has been yelling for you and demanding that you release her. She already used one of her phone calls," he said.

I grimaced. I really didn't want to see Renee but it's my job. "I'll go talk to her now. I want Judge Harhutt to be informed that Renee is my ex-wife and that she disowned Bella. She won't be able to use my daughter as her excuse to get away with breaking in and entering," I told him. I took a long sip of my coffee bracing myself for the inevitable whining I was about to hear.

"The drug charges are probably going to stick," Chris reminded me.

"At least there's one thing for certain in this whole mess," I replied as I walked over to the door that led to the station's holding cells. With a deep breath, I opened the door and walked over to the very last cell. Renee was pacing in her tiny cell and muttering to herself. I could hear only a few words but those were enough to piss me off even more.

"Renee," I called out to her.

She jumped at the sound of my voice. "Charlie," she screeched. "Let me out of this God damned cell now."

"Renee, you know how things are done. I cannot release you. Your arraignment is on Monday morning at nine. It will be up to the judge to decide whether or not to set bail," I told her.

"What!" she screamed. "You mean I have to stay in here all weekend? That's not fair," she whined. She grabbed a hold of the bars and tried to shake them. I don't know what she was thinking. The bars wouldn't budge no matter how much she tried to shake them. They were solid steel.

"If you didn't want to end up in jail, you shouldn't have broken into Bella's house," I reminded her. I couldn't believe I had to cut my first vacation on over a decade just to deal with this.

"What do you mean by Bella's house? It was your house," she said sounding confused.

"Renee, I remarried and moved in with my wife. The house belongs to Bella now." As I explained it to her, she glance at my wedding ring and then frowned. "Did you call your lawyer?" I asked snapping her out of her thoughts.

"No, I didn't know I would need one. This is just a mix-up," she said trying to excuse her behavior.

"Renee, you were arrested for breaking in and entering and on two counts of possession. Call a lawyer. You have one call left," I advised her. Whether she listens to me or not is not my problem.

"The drugs were not mine," she screamed while hitting the bars of her cell.

"Call a lawyer," I said as I walked away. That damn woman didn't even realize that the more she talked the more ammo we can use against her. I walked out of the holding area and made my way back over to my office. Chris was on the phone and motioned for me to pick up the phone.

I picked up the phone in my office. "Chief Swan," I said gruffly.

"Chief Swan, this is Phil Dwyer, Renee's other ex-husband. I called because I got a message from Renee claiming she was unjustly arrested and to bail her out."

"Yes, she was arrested. She is currently in a holding cell awaiting her arraignment," I told him.

"Chief Swan, I'm not sure whether or not you've been told, but I divorced Renee quite some time ago," he said.

"Renee called Bella two days ago to try to get Bella to give her $15,000. She claimed she was going to lose her house. Bella managed to get her to admit you divorced her. She claimed that you walked in on her with another man."

"Oh, good Lord, why am I not surprised? Chief Swan, I didn't walk in on Renee having sex with another man. I walked in on her snorting cocaine. From the looks of things, she has been doing drugs for a while."

"Her lying is not at all surprising," I said slightly shocked. To my knowledge, Renee had only ever used marijuana. This was a new low for her. Those drug charges were definitely going to stick.

"No, it's not. I just wanted to let you know what really happened and that I have washed my hands of her. I will not be helping her anymore," he explained.

"I completely understand that. Bella has said the same thing. I appreciate you contacting me," I said. I hung up the phone and just sat there shaking my head in disbelief. I did what I needed to do here, so I was going back home to relax. I also have to call Bella to let her know what happened.

After my dad left, Jasper and I wanted to spend time alone so we went to my room. No sooner were we inside when Jasper wrapped his arm around my waist. He gently pushed me up against the door as he began to ravage my mouth. I draped my arms around his neck as he used both hands to cup my bottom and lift me up.

My hands gripped his hair as he ground his hard cock against my center. I kissed my way across his jaw and down to his neck where I proceeded to nibble on the spot just below his ear. The resulting growl turned me on even more, and I could feel my panties become soaked. Holy fuck, that's hot!

Jasper pulled back, and I could see that his eyes were black. I knew he could smell my arousal. "God, your scent is incredible. I have to taste you," he said as he quickly moved us over to my bed where he laid me down. "If you don't want this, you need to tell me now," he said as he kneeled between my legs.

"I want this," I said as I continued to look into his eyes. He eyed me closely for a moment before he tore the shirt off my body and then proceeded to kiss his way down my neck all the way down to my chest where he took a hardened nipple in his mouth. He took turns with each nipple making them impossibly harder.

I heard as he inhaled deeply. The resulting purr was so sexy and it turned me on even more. "God, you smell so damn good," he moaned as he gripped both of my knees and parted my legs.

He inched down further and I could feel his cold breath just as he slide his tongue all the way up the entire length of my slit. I shuddered at how good it felt and moaned his name. I grabbed a pillow to place over my face but he yanked it from me and threw it across the room. "I want to hear how good I make you feel," he said as he briefly glanced at me and then went right back to using his tongue to alternate between flicking my clit and stroking my folds.

Jasper took one of his arms to gently pin me down as I began to arch my body against him. He continued to lick and suck on my clit driving me mad from how good it felt. He then gently sucked my clit into his mouth and just barely bit it.

"Jasper, oh my God," I panted. I felt him growl in an answer which sent me over the edge. My orgasm overtook my body while he continued to lap at my center. Once my trembling subsided, he crawl back up my body and kissed me deeply.

"You taste so fucking incredible," he growled.

"That was amazing. Now I know why Jessica Stanley demanded all her boyfriends know how to do that," I said in realization.

"That's nice to know," he teased.

"Sorry, it was one of those things that I needed to have an answer to. When I asked her, she told me the first time a guy eats me out and knows what he was doing, I will understand. She was right," I laughed.

"I'll take that as a compliment," he said giving me another kiss.

"So does that mean I get to practice my oral skills on you?" I asked while feeling my cheeks heat up but still eager to do so.

"As much as I would love to continue this, Caius is losing his mind right now," he told me. I stared at him for a moment before I figured out what he was hinting at.

"Oh well," I shrugged. "That's par for the course for vampires. You get to hear everything."

"You have no idea," Jasper snorted. "You eventually learn to ignore it."

"So someone as ancient as my grandpa should be able to ignore it," I said deliberately calling Caius grandpa. I was just tying to annoy him.

"Bella, I love you. Please don't try to get me killed here, okay?" Jasper asked.

"Well, I love you too, and I would never do anything that could get you killed," I smiled. We admitted our feelings to each other and it just felt right. It felt natural.

Now I had to take a shower and talk to Caius. He's going to have to accept that my mate and I were going to have a sexual relationship. I appreciate his protectiveness but he doesn't have to protect me from Jasper.
