BPOV:

Edward and I got about an hour to ourselves in my little hospital room before it was busy with nurses coming in to check my stats, bandages, and wires. The whole time they were bustling around me, Edward never left my side. He was always holding my hand, or when one of the nurses made him move so they could check my blood pressure, he just moved his hand to my head and stroked my hair. I never took my eyes off of him.

That is until Charlie came back with Renee. Edward had told me that when Charlie came back from the airport from picking up Renee and Phil, Alice was at the house waiting for them to tell them what had happened to me.

"It took a little while for Carlisle to calm them all down, obviously, but finally he told them that you would be asleep for a while because of all the medication. Charlie thought that it would be best if they all went to get some coffee to give Renee a chance to calm down before she saw you." Edward explained.

Her calm didn't last very long, though, for as soon as she walked into my room, she burst into tears.

"Oh, My baby! Oh, Bella how are you feeling, honey?" I held up the hand that didn't have any wires attached to it and made the "OK" sign with my fingers. She let out a small little laugh and kissed my hand. I noticed Charlie making his way slowly to the side of the bed.

"Hey there, Kiddo." I wiggled my fingers at him as if to say "hello" and he gave me a small smile as he patted the hand that my mother still held. I noticed that he was still wearing his uniform, but before I could find the pen and paper to inquire why, he turned to speak to Edward.

"How is she doing, Son?" Edward and I both lifted our eyebrows in surprise at the word "son" since Charlie still wasn't keen on us getting married so young, but Edward recovered quickly and answered his question.

"She seems to be doing just fine. Carlisle said they should be able to remove the breathing tube in a few hours since the x-rays came back relatively clear of any fluid in her lungs and she should be able to breathe just fine on her own."

"Good, Good." Charlie cleared his throat. A tell-tale sign that he needed to say something important, but didn't quite know how to say it. It made me nervous.

"Edward I, uh, want to say thank you. If not for you, my little girl might not be here right now. Any idiot can see how much you both love each other, and I realize now that you would do anything it takes to protect her." I think I saw a tear slide down his cheek, but then Charlie did something I would have never expected. Something I would never forget.

He hugged Edward.

"Welcome to the family, Son." Edward was startled at first, his eyes growing wide, but he threw his arms up and hugged Charlie back.

"Thank you so much, Charlie. I will do everything in my power to make your daughter happy. You have my word on that."

My mother and I were awe struck. She still stood by the side of my bed, one hand over her mouth, and the both of us had tears staining our cheeks from the amazing moment we had just witnessed. My father had finally accepted Edward completely, and even though just a few short hours ago I had almost lost my life, that made it all worth it.

Charlie, being the man that he was, didn't let the moment last too long. He released Edward, patting him on the shoulder, and then began to clear his throat loudly while fixing his tie in a manly manor. It made me laugh, and then wince from the pain the action caused. Everyone came rushing over to the bed to make sure I was alright, and I took that opportunity to write something to Charlie.

Thank you, daddy.

Those three simple words made Charlie's eyes well up again, and he kissed me softly on the forehead.

"No need to thank me, Bells." He whispered to me. "All I want is for you to be happy. If he is the one that makes you happy and the one you truly want to be with, I am so glad that you found each other." I touched the side of Charlie's face with my good hand and simply nodded at him. He nodded back, kissed my forehead again, and then stood up.

"Now Bells, im also here on police business. I need to ask you some questions, ok sweetie?" I nodded again, and grabbed the pen.

"Ok. Now Bella, do you remember anything that happened? Anything at all?"

Some. Its still a bit hazy I wrote.

"DO you know who did this to you?" He asked me, and I looked up at Edward with wide eyes. I didn't know what he had told Charlie, and we didn't come up with any sort of story to explain what had happened to me.

I panicked. I couldn't exactly say "Sure, Charlie. You know Jacob? Well, he is a werewolf, and he came over to try to talk me out of marrying my vampire fiancé. Oh, and his friend Paul, who is also a werewolf, read his mind when he shape shifted and was so mad about it that he decided to come to my house to kill me so that I couldn't cause anymore trouble with Jake."

As I laid there trying to figure out what to tell Charlie, someone spoke from the doorway in my room, making everyone jump.

"I think I can answer that for you, Charlie."

I saw Edwards jaw tense, and a low growl started to rumble from deep in his chest.

"Jake?" Charlie, asked, confused. "What are you doing here?"

"Im here, too, Charlie." I heard the distinct voice of Billy Black, and heard the tires of his wheelchair squeak on the linoleum floor.

"What's going on here, Billy?" Charlie asked, standing and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Charlie, I think I should be the one to explain it." Jake answered before Billy had the chance. "I was there. I saw what happened."

Charlie's eyes narrowed as he looked at Jake, and then he looked back at me and Edward, no doubt noticing the glare he was throwing in Jakes direction.

"Is that true, Bella? Edward?" I nodded my head slowly, and Edward answered aloud for the both of us.

"Yes, sir it is. I went to your house to say good night to Bella. I know that I wasn't supposed to see her until the wedding, but I wanted to see her for just a few minutes before she went to bed. She didn't answer the door when I knocked, and then I heard a groan coming from behind the house. When I ran back there, I saw Jacob here stumbling around with his hands on his head, and I saw Bella lying on the ground. I checked her pulse first, and it was very faint, so I made sure that Jake could get himself to the hospital before I put her in the car and drove her here." Charlie turned back to Jake.

"Is that true, Jacob?"

"Yes sir, it is." Charlie's eyes got wide, no doubt thinking that it was Jacob that had done this to me, being the only one there when Edward found me. Jake must have known what Charlie was thinking, because his next statement came out in a rush.

"Oh, Charlie, I swear to you that I did not do this to her. Tell him, Bella!" I didn't get the chance to even nod before Edward started yelling.

"She cant talk, you Son of a B--"

"Now, Now, Edward, Calm down!" That came from Renee as she walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Bella doesn't need all of us getting riled up right now."

"Jacob, I think you need to tell me what happened." Charlie said, getting into full police officer mode.

Jacob's eyes shifted to me, a look of pain shooting across his face, and then nodded.

"I went to your house last night, Charlie, to try and talk Bella out of getting married." I heard a gasp come from Renee, but Jake kept talking.

"I still love her, Charlie, and I had to try one more time before I didn't have another chance. I didn't know that…Paul…had followed me there. You see, he knows how I feel about her, and it made him angry that she would still talk to me, and see me, even though she was getting married. He thought that she was leading me on, or something. When he saw us arguing outside your house, he just…lost it. He hit me with a tree branch and knocked me out, and then he attacked Bella."

No one spoke for a moment, and the tension in the room was so thick, you could have cut it with a knife. Charlie cleared his throat loudly, and spoke.

"I am going to issue a warrant for Paul's arrest. Under the charge of attempted murder."
