"Are you sure you're ready?" Edward lightly squeezed my hand, concern in his gorgeus, honey eyes.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a moment, trying to gather up courage. "Yah." I met his gaze and nodded my head.
He let go of my hand and opened his door. He walked at a human pace around the Volvo to my side to get my door for me, I assumed that Charlie was watching.

Ugh. Not him again...man that kid's always here.. what does he want now... can't Bells just hang out with me? I'm probably not cool enough for her to hang out with me... I sighed as Charlie's thoughts practically screamed at me from the front window where he was watching.
I was kinda nervous, especially after hearing his comment about me, about what we were about to do. I was trying to cover up my nerves to stay strong and supportive for Bella, God knew she was gonna need strength to do this. I walked around the front of my Volvo at a painfully slow pace. When I reached Bella's door she gave me a weak smile and let me help her out of the car.
"Is he watching?" she whispered as she climbed out.
I nodded my head. As we walked to the door I tried to get a sense of what mood Charlie was in and how he would take this news.

I opened the door with a shaky hand and walked in, clinging for dear life to Edward's hand. Charlie walked around the corner and I cold sweat started forming on my hand. I looked up at Edward and he was looking at Charlie with a smile.
CPOV
I walked around the corner as they started walking up to the door, so they wouldn't think I was spying or anything.
What the hell? What's wrong with Bella? She looks sick...maybe a bug. Oh wait..she's just nervous.. But why? Did he do something to her? If he did I swear I'll kill him.
I noticed him smiling at me. I didn't smile back.
"You ok Bells?" I walked toward her and took her arm that he wasn't hogging. "Maybe you should sit down, you don't look so well." I gently led her to the couch and sat her down, me next to her.

"Yah..yah I'm fine." I said through shaky teeth. I saw Edward standing in the doorway and my mind screamed for him. My eyes must have been doing the screaming thing too, because he walked in and sat on the other side of me. I scooted closer to him, trying not to let Charlie see. A cold hand rubbed my back and I tried to calm down so that I could speak and get this over with, however it ended.
"Uh Charlie. I need to tell you something."
Charlie looked up at me, "What is it Bells?"
I looked in his eyes and almost ran from the room, changing my mind about telling him. He trusted and loved me so much. How could I shatter his heart and his image of me. I looked at Edward and he held my hand.
"Would you like me to tell him Bella?" He whispered in my ear.
I had wanted to be strong and tell Charlie without breaking into tears. But now I felt like my balloon of courage had been popped, stabbed with the knife of my cowardness. I nodded my head and looked down at Edward's marble hand holding mine.
EPOV
I held my angel's hand and looked at her father.
Why does he have to say it for her? What does he have to say for her?
"Charlie," I took a deep breath. "I've asked your daughter to marry me."
BPOV
It was quiet for a few moments. I finally looked up.
Charlie was frozen. His mouth was opened an inch, his eyes were about to pop out of his head, and his face lost all color.
"Dad..." My voice was a little shaky and sounded hoarse, like I had a cold. I looked up at Edward. He rubbed my arm and told me, "He's just shocked, he's fine." I nodded and turned back towards my father.
He still hadn't moved. Suddenly his mouth snapped shut and his eyes closed, he brought his two fore fingers up to his temples. "I'm sorry Edward. I must have zoned out there, I thought you said that you proposed to Bella. My Bella, who's only 17!" his voice started to rise as he went on. "My sweet Bella who is still in school! My Bella who is still a little girl!"
Uh oh. That's how he was gonna take it. I wonder how he was gonna take the other news I had.
