GIRLFRIEND?!?!?

Whoa that is a new one. My dad is so…old man. Fathers of 16 year olds don't have girlfriends. They have like wives or single father signs hanging above their heads. Girlfriend makes him seem like a 20 year old boy finding his first true love.

"Wow. It's nice to meet you." That's all I was able to get out. I was still shocked beyond belief.

"You too. Your father has not shut up about you." I blushed. "I brought us some food. Why don't we go get ready for dinner?" All three of us made our way into the kitchen. Charlie already set up the table set. He must really want to impress this girl.

"Your dad tells me you're a great cook but I just had to bring over my famous family recipe chili."

"It's fine. I would love to try it."

"You know I have a daughter your age. Her name is Jessica. She couldn't come tonight because she had cheerleading practice but I am sure you two would be great friends."

"She is a lovely girl Bella" Charlie pointed out, "Becky, next time you come down you should bring Jessica."

"Sure sure. I can come down next Monday."

"That's great" I was confused now "Bella, Becky lives in Seattle. She is a school teacher up there. We met one day when I had a convention to go to up there." It made sense now.

"So how long have you two been together?"

Charlie piped up, "About 8 months." He looked over at Becky and held her hand. Love. I couldn't help to wonder if I was going to be going to another wedding sometime soon.

We spent the rest of the night talking and catching up about my life in Forks and about her daughter Jessica. Apparently Jessica is the head cheerleader at North Seattle High School (DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS A REAL SCHOOL THERE) and she has been dying to meet me. Charlie has met her a couple times. It's hard for them to see each other a lot since they live about an hour away from each other. Before I knew it Becky was leaving.

"It was nice to meet you Bella." She gave me a big hug and kissed Charlie and was out the door.

"Yes you too". One she was gone Charlie glared at me like I had done something wrong.

"What?"

"So what do you think of Becky?"

The situation was kind of awkward but her no problem. She seemed lovely. "She's nice".

"What if I plan on making her part of the family one day?" Lord almighty. I want to crawl under a rock.

"Are you?"

"It's a possibility."

"Well if you're happy, I am happy dad. Really."

"Thanks Bells." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and went to watch a game on the TV. Men and their games. I knew the whole time she was here he was dying to go catch that score on the Mariners game.

Weeks went by much the same. Me, Alice, and Rosalie became very close. We had several girls nights and every once in a while Alice would drag me to go on one of her many shopping trips.

School was school. I had help with my homework lots of times so I had straight A's and all the awkward "new stairs" were finally going away.

Mike Newton was another story. He never took a hint. I remember what Edward told me the first day about how I should stay away from him, which I did, but everyday he insisted on taking me to dinner sometime. I kindly decline every time giving him the "I am too busy" or "I just don't want to date right now" excuses but my real reason was "I don't want to sleep with you".

As close as Alice, Rosalie and I were becoming me and Edward were even closer. All my straight A's, that was because Edward comes over to my house every day after school to help me with my homework. After a while I started getting everything fairly easy but I didn't want him to stop coming over. I will admit he is my best friend and I am so in love with him. I know he doesn't feel the same way but a girl can dream. We talked every night on the phone before we went to sleep and we were always texting.

Like the very first, Monday nights were occupied because those were the nights Becky came over. I really did like her and we got along very well. I still have not gotten to meet Jessica because she had cheerleading practice every week but it was over and tonight she will be coming.

I'm not going to lie that I am a little anxious. I have heard endless stories about her so it would be nice to put a face with the name.

"Come on Bella, we have to be there in 10 minutes!" Charlie yelled at me from downstairs. We are meeting Becky and Jessica at the local Italian restaurant. When we finally made it there we were of course 5 minutes late but we made our way to where we saw Becky and a small brunette girl sitting.

"Bella! Charlie!" Becky came over and gave each of us a big hug.

"Bella this is my daughter Jessica. Jessica this is Bella." She was about 5'2'' and had wavy brown hair and a pale pear face. She definitely took after her mother's side.

"Bella it is so nice to finally meet you. I have heard so much about you. I am sure we will be great friends." For some reason she sounded serious.

"I have heard so much about you too." That's for sure. Dinner was great. We stayed there for about 2 hours just talking and getting to know each other.

"I had fun Charlie. I will see you next week. Bye Bella."

"Bye Becky. Bye Jessica it was nice to finally meet you."

"Bye".

The next few weeks flew by fast. Before I knew it spring break was approaching us. Becky and Charlie were growing so very close. Every Monday night it was the same thing. They would come over for dinner. I started to become real close with Jessica though. Sometimes she would come down on weekends just to hang out with me. Becky was real nice too. I could see the way she looked at my dad with such love and devotion and only wish I could have someone look at me like that. I have never had a guy feel anything towards me. The closest guy I have ever been with is Edward, and he is only my best friend. I wish.

It was Monday night and Becky and Jessica were supposed to be here any minute now. There was a slight knock on my door. "Come in."

"Hey Bells can I talk to you before Becky comes over?"

"Sure." I have no idea what this could be about.

"You know how much I love Becky and Jessica right?" I nodded "Well I think it's time they move in here."

"Wow dad. Are you sure about this?"

"I am positive. I won't ask them unless you are ok with this though Bella." Am I ok with this? It's such a big step. I love Jessica like a sister already and Becky is great for my father but I just can't imagine them living here.

"You do what ever you want to dad. Like I said before, if you're happy I am happy." He gave me a big smile.

"Thanks Bella." Ding Dong. That's the door bell. We went downstairs to let Becky and Jessica in.

"Hey guys" Charlie had that smile plastered on his face.

"Hey Charlie, hi Bella."

We went into the kitchen and ate dinner. Once we were done we sat around talking. Was Charlie going to ask them now or what is his plan?

"So Bella are you excited about us moving in together?" Jessica asked. Confusion in the head of Isabella Swan right now.

"He already asked you guys?"

"Yes a few days ago. He just told us he had to run it by you first before anything was final."

"Oh, well its fine with me. Is it final?" I asked

"Well if you approve it is." I looked at all 3 of their faces. They look so happy. I think this is my future family right here.

"Wow…so you guys are moving in. That's great." I didn't know if the smile on my face was fake or real but I made it as wide as it would go.
