We silently made our way out of the house and down the drive to my truck. As expected, Edward wanted to drive. "I'm perfectly capable driving my own truck." I retorted.

"You have slower reflects. That could mean life and death, Bella, and personally I'd opt for you living. Besides I have a bit more say now that your carrying my child."

"OUR child."

"Right, OUR child."

I could tell that Edward was going to be much more protective than he was before. He'd only just found out he was going to be a daddy and he was already using the 'your pregnant now' card. Hopefully it will come back to haunt him. I smiled.

He sped up to open the passenger door for me, narrowing my choices. I just sighed and walked towards him. "I need the keys Bella." I knew that. I also wanted to let him know I wasn't happy with this arrangement. I tossed the keys behind me as I got in the truck. My door closed and the driver's door opened a few seconds later. Luck just wouldn't have me, would it?

The drive to Charlie's was a silent one. Our fingers laid, tangled together, on the seat between us. I heard my truck whine in protest. It must have a mind of it's own because it sure knew who was driving it. "Edward, slow down."

"Why?"

"Because if you don't my truck is going to die."

"Good, then I can get you a new car." He liked that idea.

I loved my truck. It has such character. "Well, I suppose we could get a mini van. It would make more sense with the coming of junior." I smiled. I was sure he would lay off now.

"A mini van is just as bad as this truck." He sad it bluntly. We were done with car talk for now. The truck grew silent again as we neared the house. It was already late so I hoped Charlie wasn't going to bed early or working a night shift.

When we pulled up to the house, I saw that all of the down stairs lights were on. This was a good sign. "Ready?" I looked over to my angel.

"As ready as I'm going to get."

"Everything will go fine."

We approached the door and I took a deep breath while Edward's hand met my lower back. You can do this Bella. I opened the door and could hear the ESPN news anchor in the background. Good, Charlie is still up. Taking Edward's hand, I walking into the living room. "Dad, we need to talk."

Bella pulled me into the living room where Charlie was watching the latest game. It was fourth quarter. "Dad, we need to talk." Charlie looked up from the TV with a concerned look on his face then it altered. "What are you doing here?" It was obvious I still wasn't welcome in the house since the California incident with the broken leg. I expected as much. (I've decided for everyone to disregard book 2 and 3 for this story)

"What do you need to talk about Bells?" He turned off the TV and pulled his attention to us.

"Well, we have something to tell you." Something to tell me? Oh God, she's pregnant. Not to far off base. Lucky him we weren't going to deliver that news until later.

"Well, um.., Edward proposed to me…"

His eyebrows went sky high, "And…?"

"I said yes." She let out a breath. One hurtle over, another to go, "And I've decided to move in with him." She pulled in a breath.

"You WHAT!" He was furious. What do you mean my Bells is getting married and moving in BEFORE their wedded. This can't happen. She's got to go to college and they still have two months before they graduate! NO! And especially if HE was involved. "Isabella, the answer is no. You obviously aren't able to make the right decisions or else you wouldn't be telling me this! You don't know what you're feeling and I refuse to let you fall into the 'high school sweetheart' trap!" He was yelling, close to shouting, and she was starting to go to pieces. I placed my hand on her back trying to give her some courage all the while I clenched my mouth shut.

"Dad, I'm not asking. I'm over eighteen. I'm telling. I still love you. I don't want to leave you, but I want to start my life with Edward. We're happy." Her words assured him a bit more. It was my turn to add a few.

"Sir, all I want to do is make her happy. We'll still be living in my parents house since college will be coming soon and neither of us know where we are going yet. In fact, Carlisle is going to be calling tomorrow." My words seem to calm him a bit more.

Charlie stopped and looked me straight in the eye, about to say something but thought better of it. "Bella, go upstairs and get your things. Edward and I are going to have a little talk." Her back stiffened and I knew she was unsure of what to do. I dropped my hand from her back, signaling that everything was going to be fine. Then she left the room.

Once Bella's door clicked closed, Charlie's eyes turned to me. His thoughts were too eratic to be of any use. He breathed in deeply and started, "Don't think that just because Bella isn't living here that she is out of my life. I'll know if anything happens." And I won't hesitate to shoot you. He added this in his thoughts privately. Little did he know, I could hear them.

"Nothing will happen to Bella. I don't expect her to be out of your life." I didn't really know what to say. For once I was at a lose for words. I'd never been in a situation like this and I wasn't about to recall any of this to my brothers or sisters, or Bella for that matter.

Charlie opened his mouth about to speak, but Bella came bounding down the stairs. His mouth closed and for once, Bella didn't trip.

Edward's hand fell from my back. It was time that I went upstairs. I felt Charlie's eyes on my back the entire way up and heard muffled voices that I couldn't understand, as soon as my door clicked shut, but I didn't care. I was finally going to move in with Edward. It was exciting as always.

I graded the duffle bag stored in my closet and started shoving clothes in it. There were a few pairs of jeans and some ridiculously expense tops that Alice had bought me. I brought another pair of shoes in addition to the ones I had. It seemed pointless to bring anything else with Alice being around and with my new stomach that will soon begin to grow. My heart skipped a beat; the baby. I missed Edward and we had only been parted for ten minutes.

The bag zipped closed; by my hands I suppose, and I headed down the stairs. Charlie came into view. He hadn't move from the place I had left him. His eyes flicked towards me and his mouth closed, shutting off any words that were about to come out. Edward gave me a meaningful look that I didn't quite understand.

Edward came up to me, took my bag, and gave me a quick peek on the cheek, "I'll wait outside for a minute." It impossible to have some privacy with a vampire around, but now I understood his look; I was saying goodbye to Charlie. Thoughts swirled, would I see him often? Will he be upset that I'm leaving? Will he find really be okar?… I pushed them backed and turned towards Charlie.

"Bella…" He didn't finish.

I couldn't help myself. I walked up to him and gave him the biggest huge ever, "I love you dad."

"I love you too, Bells" That said it all. We parted and headed for the door.

Edward was waiting by the passenger side door of my truck with my bag already stowed. I climbed in the open door silently, not sure of what to say. He followed, but at human pass because of Charlie.

He broke the silence, "Bella, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. I understand." I looked at him. Was he having doubts? Did he not want me to move in? Would it make it harder for him to resist? Would it make any of them harder to resist my blood? I'd never thought of that before. How selfish was I? "What are you thinking?" I looked at my Apollo.

"Of how selfish I am."

"How are you selfish?" He didn't look at me but kept his eyes at the road.

"I want to live with you, and give you this child, no matter what, but what about you and everyone else?" He looked at me, this time a different look crossed his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Won't it make it harder for you and your family to abstain from human blood if I'm around constantly? And with the baby, will it make a difference?"

He smiled in amusement, "Bella I want nothing more than for you to move in with me and my family feels the same. It will be different for us. We have never lived with a human before."

"What about Jasper?" My voice was quite.

He chuckled, "It will be good for Jasper." He looked at me. I didn't know what my face looked like. "Why are you crying?" I hadn't even noticed that the tears had swelled over.

"Because I love you." It was a whisper, but I knew he heard it.

I can't tell you how much all your reviews mean to me. I smile every time someone says, its' great! Or I can't wait till read the next chapter! It's definitely motivation to do a few chapters a week. It's also come to my attention that I haven't quite been getting Edward right; he's a bit out of character. I'm trying everyone so please bare with me and give suggestions on what he should has said or done differently. This will help me get the right perspective.
