Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight and I never will. I'm okay with that. It wasn't gay enough for me anyway.

A/N: So what I need y'all to do is go check out this amazingly awesome story by my beta FeistySicilian. It's called An Earth Goddess and Her Wolf. It's a Bella/Emily pairing which I think makes it more interesting personally because there aren't many of them.

Charlie's P.O.V.

I awkwardly stand behind my chair as I look around the living room trying not to focus on the ring around Bella's neck. Don't get me wrong if she is engaged to Tanya then I will be happy since I know Tanya would never hurt her, but I'm her father and it's my job to worry about her all the time.

'I'm pretty sure she's not there to talk about the engagement Charlie. Also could you possibly be any more awkward right now?' Woah wait! What the hell was that? Is that….Renee? 'I told you I would think of something.' Dammit.

"Charlie, would you please sit down? Seeing you standing behind your chair like that is kind of awkward." Bella says from her spot next to Tanya on the couch. 'Is now a good time to say I told you so?'

I quickly sit down and rest my elbows on my knees. "I'm sorry Bella I don't mean to be awkward, but I honestly wasn't expecting you to call until next week at the earliest. You were really upset when you left." I sigh as I see the sad look in Bella's eyes.

"I'm sorry I wasn't even upset with you when I stormed off. It's just that after what Renee said about not wanting me that really put me in a bad place, and I took that on you." I can see that this has really been bothering her.

"I understand why you were upset Bella. You had every right to be honestly. You were right I should have told you what you were, but Renee and I weren't sure if you would ever come into your powers since you never showed any signs by the time you moved here." I know what I said is going to add to her growing list of questions, but since she's here for answers I'm going to be completely honest with her.

"That raises more questions than it answers Charlie. What signs? What powers? The only time they seem to work is when I'm trying to protect Tanya! This is all so frustrating! I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore!" She yells as she throws her hand up in the air in frustration.

"Okay just calm down. I will answer your questions, but one at a time. First, children of archangels usually show signs of having powers when they reach puberty. Their eyes change colors when they get upset or feel a strong emotion. You never did that. I don't know for sure what kind of powers you have exactly. I don't even know what all Renee can do so you would have to ask her." I say waiting for Renee to chime in at any moment now.

'You know as well as I that she isn't willing to talk to me. Although you seem to have a handle on things right now.' She says with a sad tone. She clearly heard what Bella said early.

"I have no desire to talk to her right now. Whatever you can't tell me I'll just have to live without knowing for the moment. I wouldn't even know what to say to Renee if she and I talked anyway. After what she said I don't even want to talk about her." I watch Bella muscles tense in anger at the thought of talking to Renee.

"Angel, remember what you said about your temper? Don't allow it to distract you from our reason for being here right now. I know you're still upset with your mom, but that can wait for later." Tanya says softly as she rubs her hand along Bella's back. She relaxes into Tanya as the anger leaves her body as quickly as it arose.

'Wow Tanya's really good at that. I think Bella is in good hands with her.' Renee basically says what I'm thinking as I watch them together.

"I'm sorry you're right. It just seems really hard nowadays. I've been so used to pushing back my emotions and then you come along and I can't seem to do that anymore. I'm sorry." Bella sighs as she runs her finger through her hair in frustration.

"It's okay angel. I understand that you still need time to adjust to everything." Tanya says as she gently kisses Bella on the forehead. I must say they are rather perfect together.

"Anyway Charlie how much do you know about archangels? What little Renee told me wasn't exactly helpful." I nod silently as I sit back in my chair.

"I can understand why you would feel that way. She was rather short with you two while she was here. I'm sure she regrets that now. How about you two ask whatever questions are on your mind and I'll answer them if I can?" This time it's Bella's turn to nod slowly.

"The most important thing I need to know is does it get easier to control myself over time? I'm terrified one day it's going to be so bad that not even Tanya can bring me back or even worse I accidently end up hurting her. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I ever hurt your family." She says as she looks at Tanya almost on the brink of tears just at the thought.

'Since Tanya is her soulmate she will always be able to bring her back and it's impossible for Bella to hurt her. Very few archangels are lucky enough to actually find their soulmates, and for the ones that do it's impossible for angels to use their powers in anyway that could cause them harm.' Renee says with what I believe is happiness.

"Over time it will become easier. If you remember your mom's eyes never changed even when you were yelling and Tanya was growling at her. Also very few archangels ever find their actual soulmates so the fact that you have Tanya is amazing. She will always be able to bring you back no matter destructive you become, and it's impossible for you to hurt her." I say as I watch relieved smile spreads across both Bella and Tanya's faces.

"Well that would explain why I never got thrown against a wall the first time your powers made an appearance." I don't quite think Tanya intended to say that out loud.

"Bella's power will never be able to hurt you. It's a major perk of being her soulmate." I say with a soft smile as she nods her head softly with a gentle smile on her face. "So from that I've going to assume there had been another incident. When and what happened exactly?" I ask as the smiles quickly leave both of their faces.

"There have been incidents, but the most recent one happened yesterday. Everything was fine until Edward showed up and started calling Tanya names. I tried really I did, but in the end my anger got the best of me and I ended up burning Edward on his chest and shoulders." I can't help the proud smile that appears on my face. I've never liked Edward and the fact that he hurt my daughter makes me like his less.

'Ask her to describe how she felt and what she experienced while she was burning Edward.' Renee asks in curiosity.

"I would like to start off by saying that I'm proud of you for standing up for Tanya. I think Edward deserved everything that he got and more honestly. Now I need you to explain how you felt and what you experienced while you were burning Edward." I say with the smile never leaving my face. I wish I could have been there to watch Bella handing Edward's ass to him.

"The only thing I can remember feeling was the need to protect Tanya. I can't describe what I experienced. All I could think about was protecting Tanya and teaching Edward a lesson. I wanted to leave him with a physical mark that he could look at every time he forgot that I'm not his property and he couldn't tell me what to do. Next thing I know I feel my hands starting to heat up and I'm watching myself burning Edward." Bella says with a shoulder shrug as she looks between me and Tanya. She looks like she's so lost within herself.

'Archangels are willing to do anything to protect their soulmates even from something like name calling. Tanya is literally the most important person in her world, and Bella will protect her as such.' Okay even that was kind of cryptic to me.

"Bella, don't allow what you did to upset you. Tanya is your soulmate which makes her the most important person in your world, and you were trying to protect her never feel bad for that. Edward deserved everything he got and more if you ask me." That finally gets a smile out of Bella even though it's small.

"That actually makes me feel somewhat better." She says as her smile widens as relief spreads through her body.

"What did Renee mean when she said that Bella is supposed to be all knowing and is immortal? Does that mean Bella will stop aging eventually?" Tanya asks as she wraps her other arm around Bella's waist and pulls her closer.

'Technically archangels are supposed to be all knowing of the ways of the world, but that's only the angels who have been around literally for centuries. Also angels are immortal, but when they stop aging depends on each angel. Bella has the ability to stop aging when she reaches her mid-twenties since Tanya is around that age. Oh and now would be a good time to mention that Tanya's venom will have no effect on her.' I appreciate the fact that she's helping me, but trying to listen to her and talk to Bella at the same time is harder than I thought.

"Archangels only become all knowing once they've become centuries old. I think Renee was just having an attitude when she said that as a way to throw you off. Technically Bella is immortal, but she won't stop aging until she's reached her mid-twenties since you're forever stuck around that age. Also we're sure that Tanya's venom won't have an effect on Bella." I watch as Bella and Tanya look at each other in confusion. Maybe being able to answer all of their questions like this seems a little

"Umm Charlie who is we're? You're the only one here that knows anything." Bella says as she and Tanya both give me a curious look.

"Sorry slip of the tongue. It's just the last time we talked about this your mother was here." I say quickly trying to cover.

'Nice save, but next time try to avoid slip ups like that. It makes you seem kind of suspicious and it's hard to cover up.' I roll my eyes internally. I'd love to see her try this and see how well she does. 'I'm sure I wouldn't slip up like you did.' She's the most infuriating woman in history. I swear at times like this I can clearly see why our relationship never worked out.

"Do you happen to know anything about Renee's family? I just feel as though knowing about that will help tie everything together for me. Like were both of her parents angels?" Bella asks beginning to look too hopeful.

'My family isn't important. They were more abstinent than I was.' Renee sounds like she's a mixture between sad and angry. I decide not to question it right now.

"I'm sorry Bella, but Renee's parents were never very present in her life so there isn't much to tell. Just know that who her parents are can't define who you are now." Bella nods slowly and she thinks about my words.

"I understand what you're saying, but I guess it would still be helpful to know." She says as she nods her head slowly.

"Do you have any more questions or are you okay for now? Would you like to take some time to process everything I told you today? I know that it's all a lot to process." I ask as I see her eyes starting to glaze over as I see her getting lost in her thoughts.

"Is it possible for me to work on controlling my powers somehow?" I look at her confused. Why would she want to do that?

'Clearly there's something going on that she's not telling you, but yes it's possible for her to control her powers. Just make sure that Tanya is close while she does or else things will go really wrong really fast.' That still doesn't tell me why she would need too.

"Yes it's possible, but make sure that Tanya is around while you practice. You've seen what happens when you lose control your powers by accident I don't think you want to see what will happen if you lose control of your powers while using them on purpose." I really want to ask what's going on with Bella, but I decide to not press right now. I just got her back and I don't want to risk messing that up.

"So I have one more question and then I'm done for the day. Umm is….is it normal for me to I guess always want to literally jump Tanya?" Bella says with a blush as I watch Tanya avoid looking at me.

'I wouldn't be surprised if Bella has already jumped Tanya's bones by now. It's naturally for angels to have strong sexual urges for their soul mates.' This is something a father shouldn't never have to hear.

"Umm….yeah….it's umm normal. Just please be careful okay?" I say as I run the back of my neck trying to fight off the awkward blush creeping up my neck.

"Okay I think that's all I can handle for one day. Thank you for answering my questions Charlie I feel so much better having some understanding of everything." Bella says with a smile as she runs her fingers through her hair again.

"I'm glad I could help. Now can I ask you something?" I ask with a faint smile as I see Bella nod slowly. "Does that ring around your neck mean what I think it means?" I watch as a blush starts making its way up her neck. I look to Tanya and see her looking at everything in the room except for Bella and I.

"That entirely depends on what you think the ring means." Bella has never been very good at being evasive. She's also not very good at lying because her face gives everything away every time.

"Yes we're engaged! Bella asked me first, and I already had the ring so I gave it to her after I asked. I would have asked you first, but it just kind of happened! I'm sorry, but I hope that can you accept this. I truly do love your daughter!" Tanya blurts out as she looks between me and Bella frantically. So clearly Tanya is afraid of me. Smart girl….

"Have I ever told you how smooth and subtle you are? Because I mean seriously you're really the best at it. I couldn't even tell that you are a hot mess right now." Bella says sarcastically as she rolls her eyes at Tanya.

"What?! He was giving us that knowing look and I warned you before we left the house! The last thing I need is for you father to hate me especially since I'm pretty sure your mom does too!" I laugh as I allow those two to talk amongst themselves. Those two really are hilarious sometimes. They're already arguing like an old married couple.

'It's smart of her to be afraid of me, but just to be clear I have profound respect for Tanya because she was willing to stand up to me. Most supernaturals would crumble just being in the presence of an angel.' Well it's good to know that both of us are in agreement of how we feel about Tanya.

"Girls please calm down. I'm really happy for the both of you because I know that you make each other happy. Also just to clarify I don't hate you Tanya and neither does Bella's mother. Actually she has profound respect for you because instead of crumbling while she was here you stood up for Bella. There's no way she couldn't respect you for that." I say as I watch a smile spread across both of their faces.

"Thank you dad. I love you." Bella whispers softly as she stands up and walks over to me. She awkwardly leans down to give me a hug which I quickly return.

"I love you too Bella….so much." I say as I hug her tighter. I sigh as she releases me from the hug and walks back over to Tanya.

"I think it's time for us to head back. I need time to think." She says softly as Tanya stands up and grabs her hand. I watch as she quickly laces their fingers together.

"Of course angel. Charlie would it be okay if we stopped by sometime or maybe you could come to the house and meet my family?" Tanya says as she smiles at me softly.

I stand up and hug both of them before we walk to the door. "I would really enjoy that Tanya. Thank you." I say as I open the door for them.

"I'll call you with the address whenever Bella's had time to think." We both look to Bella and see that she's already deep in thought by now.

"That'll be great. I look forward to it Tanya." I say as they slowly start heading towards the car. I smile as I see Tanya open the door for Bella and help her in before running over to her side and getting in.

I wave as they pull away. I sigh as I close the door and lean against it sighing deeply. Wait a minute. Was Bella limping?

A/N 2: So….I've decided to go to law school once I graduate with my Bachelors. Haven't even gotten the LSAT practice books and my parents are already all over my ass. I need y'all to pray for me because they're gonna test my patience. Also I'm sorry if my updates start to slow down I promise I haven't forgotten about y'all sorry.
