Chapter 2

------------------------

Once the evening had ended, Charlie drove Edward home. Edward invited us inside for a drink and also I think Edward wanted his parents to talk to Charlie. I smiled to myself, Edward was much too polite.

Charlie seemed a little uncomfortable but, then I think he realized that this was Dr. Cullen, a very trustworthy reliable man, and he seemed to brighten up. Before we had even reached the door Alice opened it quickly in excitement.

"Hey Charlie, hey Bella, we've been expecting you," she grinned at me. Yes I could definitely feel Charlie loosening up a bit. Edward placed his hand gently on the small of my back and led me through the door, while Alice beckoned Charlie in enthusiastically. She winked at me behind his back and I gave her a little glare.

"Charlie, welcome we're so pleased you could stay and talk with us," said Carlisle warmly in his flowing velvet voice, appearing in front of us. Charlie smiled in return and walked down the old fashioned hallway into the sitting area. Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie and Esme were all sitting, waiting for them and they all grinned when we entered the room.

I sat down next to Edward with Charlie on my other side, while Alice sat with her siblings and Carlisle joined his wife.

"Charlie, welcome to our home, we are so honored to have you here. We are also so honored that you are in approval of the uniting of my son and your daughter," said Esme.

"I couldn't agree more," said Charlie. I smirked to myself, Charlie was doing a nice job of hiding his shock. Yes during dinner he had been a bit snappy, but Edwards polite manner could never set Charlie completely off. I think Charlie was finally letting it all go.

Emmett grinned at me and mouthed, "Nice one Bella!"

I gave him a sarcastic smile, then turned and smiled at Charlie. He was handling this a lot better than I expected. So well it almost scared me, maybe he was plotting some sort of outburst, or surprise grounding, I sorted of expected him to jump up all of a sudden and shout "You'll take my daughter away from me!" then kidnap me and move me to Australia. But I knew that Charlie would never try and stop me from being with the one I truly love.

Rosalie suddenly appeared behind me with a tray of drinks. I hadn't even realized she'd left the room, though I wasn't startled, I was too used to the Vampires popping out of nowhere to be scared. Rosalie handed a glass to everyone. Then she raised hers.

"To Bella and Edward, who will never grow old of each other. Through the wrinkles of time, through the bowed frame of years, you will always see the dear face and feel the warm heart union of your eternal love," said Rosalie, I had to conceal a laugh for this.

"It is written: when children find true love, parents find true joy. Here's to your joy and ours, from this day forward," added Esme, though I could tell Charlie wouldn't share this view I think. I raised the glass then composed it to my lips. The Cullen's were soon to be my family. I knew that I loved them like any close family I would've had.

"Well, I guess this means we're all family now!" said Charlie excitedly.

"I'll drink to that!" smiled Emmett. I rolled my eyes.

"Well it's getting late, Bells I think we better be off!" said Charlie. I nodded and we said our goodbyes.

"Thanks for looking after Bells for the last couple of days, and inviting us over. I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of each other!"

The Cullen's smiled and headed us to the door. Charlie and I got in the car and slowly drove away. But not before Edward could whisper in my ear as he opened the door for me. "I'll see you soon."

The ride home was quite, we were both tired and worn from the days events, and both very surprised, me at Charlie and his reaction and I think Charlie was pretty surprised at himself too. I was nervous about tomorrow though. I knew the call to Renee wasn't going to be easy.

Charlie walked me through the door and I gave him a kiss goodnight on the cheek and an appreciative glance, then took to the stairs and collapsed on my bed. Usually I made an effort for Edward before he came but I was too tired. I heard a noise coming from the window and without having to look up I knew he was there.

He stood over me, like a silky shadow he moved silently and gracefully to my side. He wrapped his arms around me and we both drew each other in.

"Bella, you have no idea happy you've made me."

"I'm pretty sure at some points in time you haven't been that happy with me."

"No even if you had done something extremely terrible I think that I've done a lot worse."

"Edward when are you going to forgive yourself?" I said impatiently.

"Never, for the rest of eternity the guilt will hang over my head."

"You are way too melodramatic," I sighed.

He chuckled and kissed my forehead, my eyes, and my cheeks and finally planted a soft kiss on my lips. I pushed him onto my bed and got on top of him, pressing my figure into his stone body. He wrapped his arms around me and we shared a long lasting passionate kiss.

One moment we were there, kissing, caught in the moment, and the next, my eyelids fell and I surrendered to the world of sleep.

--------------------------

"Bella! Wake up, Renee is on the phone!" called Charlie through the door. I slowly pried my eyes open. Getting out of bed was one of the hardest things I've done in my life. My bones ached and I was tired. I threw my legs over the side of my bed. The carpet felt scratchy and worn underneath my bare feet. My head was throbbing.

Of course, Edward was no longer there, he would've known Charlie was coming. I rubbed my eyes and peered at the clock, my eyes adjusting to the light streaming in from window. It was 11.

My heart gave a nervous jolt. I gulped, my mother was on the phone. I wondered if Charlie had set this up. I slowly walked out of my room where Charlie was waiting by the door with the phone. I smiled grimly at him and he gave me a sarcastic look. A look that said, "good luck with this one." I glared at him and took the phone.

"Hey mum, how's it going?" I said groggily, still trying to wake up.

"I'm great honey, sorry for waking you I just haven't received any emails from you in a while and I got a bit worried!"

"No mum that's fine, I was going to call you today anyway, I have something to tell you."

"Okay…" she said cautiously, "What's going on?"

"Well don't freak out mum but…well you know how me and Edward are really close, and we're getting kind of serious…"

"Oh my god…you didn't…you didn't, and if you did I don't want to hear about it," she said, she was very scared. I rolled my eyes.

"Mum no-"

"Bella you did use protection didn't you?"

"Mum! Me and Edward…we didn't have sex," I said blushing, Charlie managed to disguise a laugh with a cough, I gave him an icy glare.

"Oh, oh thank god. Sorry you just…got me a bit worried there. Why do I always think the worse when you call me? Nothing could be worse than…on never mind, sorry continue what were you going to say?" she said, relief unhidden in her voice.

"Well mum, I actually think your going to get even more freaked out about this. Well you see, Edward proposed…and I said yes."

There was a long pause. Okay now I was scared. I heard sobbing coming from the other line.

"Mum…are you crying?"

"I'm sorry honey…thank you for telling me. I knew you and Edward were close, and I knew it was serious, but Bella your much to young!" she sobbed.

"Mum I've talked to Charlie about it and, after some convincing he seemed to accept it."

"Put me on the phone to Charlie right this second young lady!"

I handed the phone to dad and smirked at him. He had gone a bit pale.

"H-hello? …Well she's 18 now I can't exactly stop her…What was I meant to do! …Renee they are in love and I don't think we are really in the place to stop them! …yes I know she's young… yes but Edward is a great guy!"

My heart soared as Charlie spoke. I was really proud of him.

"Yes…alright I'll put her on."

He handed the phone once again to me. "Well Bella, I know I can't stop you…but I really wish you would reconsider!" said Renee hysterically.

"Mum, this is my choice, don't you think I've thought through this? This is what I want to do…this is what I want, and it's my choice, and frankly Charlie was right, you can't stop me!" I said defiantly. Mum sniffed, but I think she had gotten what I was trying to say.

"Well Bella…I'll be there with Phil in the next week. You have a lot to plan. And…thank you for telling me…I understand it would've been difficult. I just, I knew you and Edward were close…and it's just hard to hear that my only child is getting married! At 18!"

"I know mum, thanks so much for understanding. And Alice is organizing the wedding and I mean, it's not every day you get to help your only daughter plan a wedding." Renee laughed and then sighed deeply.

"I suppose your right, and through the…shock, I do feel extremely happy for you Bella."

"I'm happy too mum. Edward has made so happy this past year, he's a great guy. Just come down here as soon as you can so I can see you, I kind of just want to get this wedding over and done with."

"So when are you planning to have it?"

"…Err, within the next month?"

"Are you serious? We have so much to do! So much to plan! Hand the phone over to Charlie we have to talk details, it's been great talking to you honey, I'll see you very soon, email me with any updates."

"Sure mum, and thanks again. I love you," and with a pause I handed the phone to Charlie. I smiled at him, things were actually working out. Things were going okay.

------------------------------

AN: Yes where there's the end of another chapter. Now I know that these 2 chapters have been…pretty boring, but it's just sort of an opening and all the good stuff will happen soon, I feel that the reaction of Bella's parents really needed to be well noted.

So anyway, I will continue this story and thanks again for the reviews.
