"Chief Swan." I said.
"Hello Charlie." Dick head said. Great just what I need. I thought.
"What do you want?" I said not in the mood to deal with him.
"Make Renee choose." He said. Great now he's getting her involved.
"When I find you and I will, Edward and I are going to kill you." I told him.
"You shouldn't make threats Charlie. You never know what could happen." He said
"It's not a threat it's a promise." I said then he hung up. After that there was a knock on the door.
Charlie's POV
Esme went to open the door and Angela walked in.
"ANGELA!" Alice yelled happily and hugged her.
"Hey Alice." She said and walked into the living and stopped shocked at all the people. So I thought I'd ease the tension a little bit.
"So that was fast." I said.
"Yeah I was passing the driveway when I called so I just turned around. Charlie where's Bella and who are all of these people?" She asked. Alice went to say something but I stopped her.
"Bella's been kidnapped and these people are vampires and they're going to help us find Bella." I said. Everyone gasped as if they were surprised at what I had said.
"WHAT! What do you mean Bella's been kidnapped?" She asked.
"Ang Charlie just told you we're vampires and your-"Alice said
"Shh skip the vampire thing go back to Bella." Angela said as she sat down on the couch. I was about to tell her everything that's happened in the last 18 hours but Aro interrupted me.
"YOU KNOW THE RULES SWAN HUMANS CAN'T KNOW ABOUT US." He yelled at me. I got up off the couch and got in his face.
"I'm human; your damn vampire rules don't apply to me. And if I want to tell my daughter's best friend about what's going on than I am going to, so shut up and sit down! "I said angrily. Aro did as I told him to do but he didn't stop glaring at me but I didn't really care. I was pissed and I wasn't going to let this ass hole tell me what to do. A moment later he looked away. I turned back to Angela and told her everything. When all of her questions were answered it was time for dinner. Angela left to go eat with her family. Before she left Aro made her agree to be turned into a vampire I was mad at him for it but she said she thought it would be cool and was looking forward to it. Carlisle had agreed to do it after graduation. After Angela left it was around 7:30 when I picked up my cell and walked outside not wanting to be around anyone for the phone call I was about to make. It was around 4:30 in Florida so I knew she would be home, God I really didn't want to do this. But if it got our daughter back. I put in her number and hit send. She answered on the second ring.
"Hi Charlie." She said. God I really did miss hearing her voice.
"Hey Renee. Um, listen something's happened and before you freak out I need you to choose. I need you to choose between Bella and Phil. I can't tell you what's going on but you have to know that whoever you pick you can't see or talk to the other for the rest of your life. You know I would never ask you to do this unless I had any other choice." I said not letting her get a word in and feeling like shit for making her do this. I knew who she was going to choose but I still had to ask her.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." She said in a grave voice and hung up. I was sitting on the porch for a while after talking to Renee when Alice came out, handing me a cup of coffee and sat down next to me.
"She'll be landing around this time tomorrow; she plans on stopping at the house in phoenix to grab a few momentous. I'll have Edward go get her when she lands." She said. I took a sip of the hot liquid and found it was the way I liked it.
"No I'll go get her. I'm the one that has to tell her our daughter had been kidnapped and to top it off I have to tell her everything else; it's going to be a lot to take in. No the only person that is going to deal with her is me." I said taking another sip of coffee.
"Why does it sound like we should be afraid of her?" She asked with an amused looked on her face.
"Oh you'll see." I said laughing and taking another sip of my coffee.
Renee's POV
I held the yellow envelope to my chest as I walked to the car. I couldn't be leave I was doing this for a second time it my life. I'm not even forty and yet here I was holding papers to end my marriage. Again. Before when I was with Charlie in high school I thought he was all I was ever going to want. Then the holidays came along and I guess you can say we were in tune with the warm and loving feelings that time of year brings and I ended up pregnant with Bella.
Of course it got around and the other kids had to say things but our friends helped us out with the nasty ones that thought it would be funny to say mean and hurtful things to us. Charlie was very protective of me and was there for me and our baby. He was there for everything and I mean everything. From every doctor's appointment to craving I had. He would rub my feet when they hurt and didn't get mad at me for blowing up at him for something he didn't even do.
I truly did love him, hell I still do. This brings us to the papers I was holding on to. I truly didn't understand how much I missed Charlie. The way his voice sounds. The feel of his lips on mine. How safe and wonderful it felt to be in his arms. Or how good the sex was and let me tell you ladies it was GOOD really, really good or how wrong I was for taking Bella and leaving him behind. One night Phil and I were having sex and at the peak of it when I climaxed I called out Charlie's name and not Phil's. I'm sure you can imagine how bad things got after that when I realized I called out my ex-husbands name and not my current ones.
Phil was shocked and quite frankly so was I. But I think we were shocked for different things and to be honest I didn't really care what Phil was thinking at the time. Because in the course of saying one word it changed my life forever. I knew I made a mistake, a huge fucking ass mistake that I had to try to fix. I told Phil I was sorry and that it didn't mean anything but I think we both knew that it did.
After that night I tried to forget about it we both did, but we couldn't, we began to fight. Phil wanted to work things out but I didn't. I wanted to go back to where I belonged to where I truly belonged and this place with this man wasn't it. So when Phil left for work this morning I decided to pack my things and surprisingly I only had two bags because the rest of my stuff was in phoenix. So when I was done packing everything I wanted, I drove into town to the lawyers' office to get the papers I needed. When I was done I drove down to the pier to have lunch and a glass of white wine. After looking at the wave's crash up on to the shore for a while I decided to go home and wait for Phil to get back.
When I pulled up to the house I got out of my car and walked to the back and put the papers on the trunk with a pen. I signed my half at lunch so all I had to do was have him sign them and I'd be free. Phil was due back any minute now. I looked down at my watch to see that it 4:30. Then my cell went off. I looked at the caller id to see who it was and a smile came to my face and butterfly's in my stomach.
"Hi Charlie." I said. God I really do miss him.
"Hey Renee. Um, listen something's happened and before you freak out I need you to choose. I need you to choose between Bella and Phil. I can't tell you what's going on but you have to know that whoever you pick you can't see or talk to the other for the rest of your life. You know I would never ask you to do this unless I had any other choice." He said, and I know he must be feeling like shit right now. But I didn't think much about it because at that moment Phil pulled into the drive way. I SO didn't need to deal with him right now. Something has happened to my baby. Something bad I can feel it. I need to get to the airport as soon as possible.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." I said. Then I hung up on him. I knew I must have sounded bad. But I had to get out of here and get to Forks and Phil was holing me up. He got out of his car and came to me. He held his arms open as if thinking I was going to hug him hello or something. I didn't move from my spot. But instead I turned around to pick up the pen. Phil walked up to me to look at what I was doing. I handed him the pen.
"Sigh the papers, everything's all done, you get everything the house and everything else." I told him in a bit of a rude tone but again I didn't care my baby needed me.
"Renee are y-"I didn't let him finish.
"Yes I'm sure now sign the fucking papers." I said getting angry with him.
"You don't have to be a fucking bitch about it." He said getting angry at me, again still don't care.
"Listen something's happened with my daughter so I need to go and your holding me up so sign the god dam papers Phil." I was yelling at him by the time I was done. He grabbed the pen out of my hand and signed all the spots I showed him. There were 3 copies. One for me. One for him and one for the lawyer's office. A moment later a taxi pulled up. I grabbed my two bags from the back of my car and put them in the back seat of the taxi. With two sets of divorce papers in hand I got in the back seat next to my bags I told the driver to take me to the lawyer's office so I could drop them off. When that was done I told him to take me to the airport.
