Chapter Four.
Third person POV:
"So, boys."
"Why have you brought us here, Charlie?" The three of them sat around the kitchen table, beer in hand and solemn looks.
"Our children need our help."
"What are we supposed to do?" Billy questioned. "I can't go out and get a job, and by the time I'm in bed for the night, Jacob's just getting home."
"And Leah almost hit Sue last night. I was still at the store, I didn't hear about it until hours later." Harry sighed and laid his head on the table.
"Bella had a fit and disappeared for hours in the woods. She didn't come home until nightfall." Charlie ran a hand over his face. "This has to stop, they can't go on like this."
"I agree, but what can we do, Charlie?" Harry said sadly. "I miss my little girl. She's full of hate and anger now. All I want to do it see a smile on her face again.
"What is the one thing that triumphs over all?"
"Friendship?"
"Power?"
"No, love!" Harry and Billy raise an eyebrow at him.
"Love? Have you been eating bad Chinese food again?"
"That was one time, and no I'm not. But Billy, what made you smile when your father was dying in the hospital?"
"Sarah…"
"And Harry, who was there for you when you found out about Quil IV?"
"Sue was."
"And when I found out about my father, the person that was there for me was Renee. Do you see now what I mean?"
"Yes." They both agreed.
"Does Jacob still have a crush on Bells?" Charlie inquired, and Billy nodded.
"Of course, hasn't stopped."
"He'd be good for her, I'm sure."
Harry broke through their tangent with a yell. "Hey, what about my Lee!"
"Jacob and Leah used to be close, right?"
"Still are, thick as thieves."
"Don't you see, boys? Either way, our babies will be happy."
But then Billy's face went grim. "But what if Bella and Leah fall for each other?"
"Very true. Uhm, well, we can't think like that! Who knows, they could all fall for each other!" Charlie jokes and the three of them burst into laughter.
Sometimes things work out for the better and sometimes they crash and burn. But what they didn't know was that karma had a way of giving you what you needed, even if never thought it was possible.
