A/n: I'm (Hannah) being kind this week this is the third update because I wasn't very busy so I am posting Chapter 5. I have the whole story typed out but am going through and editing it. I was typing one of the chapters editing it. I had typed over 1000 words then Word shut down I was pissed off. Then I had to type it all again. *Sigh* Anyway I got this idea while listening to one of my favourite songs called 'Last Night Last' By Lady Antebellum so I began to write a story about it. Quick summary will be at the bottom. Hannah. (Donna says hi to all too)
Chapter 5: Slow Down Sister. Patience Edward
Edward Pov:
I couldn't believe it when Chief Swan turned up at my house at four in the morning. I have to pretend that I was actually asleep. That Carlisle had to drag my ass out of my brand new bed. All to go fishing.
I had never been fishing before. I really didn't have the patience. We drove down to the lake very close to the border. Ok it was a few mile short of the border. We were sitting on a small boat. Holding fishing rods waiting for the fish to bite the bait.
"So Edward let me be blunt here. What is your intended relationship with my daughter?' Charlie said out of the blue. I hadn't picked anything up from his thoughts. It was probably a snap decision.
"Well Chief Swan. You know I love your daughter. Words can't describe how I feel about her. She is beautiful, intelligent, kind, selfless, clumsy which is very endearing. I would catch her all the time if I had the chance to. She is everything that I have wanted I have always been led to believe that everyone has a soulmate and mine I believe is Bella." I said.
Chief Swan sat there completely stunned. He must really love my Bells. I knew this day would come but not this soon. Not now. I need more time with her. She needs to know I am here for her for everything. I have to let her live the life she wants not the life I or her mother want her to live.
"I get what you are saying there Edward. I always knew that Bella was more mature for her age but I always ignored it all. I see how much you love Bella. Your eyes light up every time she enters a room. It's like you are two souls that have become one and is experiencing it all for the first time. I guess that is the best I can explain it." Chief Swan said.
"I know what you are saying. When Bella is away from me it feels like my heart is getting ripped out of my chest, but when I see her again it's like none of that ever happened. I just want to see her happy. I would do anything she wanted of me. My heart has always been hers and always will be." Getting all that off my chest felt good.
I had never explained that to anyone in that direct context before. I wanted Bella's father to know everything about my relationship with Bella….. Except the small details about our physical relationship or there lack of.
Oh how I wish Emmett hadn't barged in that day.
I felt a small tug on my line. Chief Swan instructed me on what to do. I began to reel in the line gently so I wouldn't break it with my strength. On the line was a decent sized fish.
"Good job Edward. Now let's go home."
Bella Pov:
"Rosalie Hale! Where are you taking me?" I screeched. We had accelerated out of the Cullen driveway just a few seconds ago. Rosalie had basically dragged me out of the house.
"Well we are hanging out just you and me for the day. We are going shopping." Rosalie said staring out the windshield of her BMW convertible. I sighed I was never going to win an argument with Rosalie.
"Ok whatever you say Rosalie. I know I'll never win in an argument against you anyway." I gave in. We made it to the mall in a matter of minutes. Rosalie dragged me into many stores.
She then dragged me into Victoria's Secret. I tried to put my foot down then. But Rosalie started pulling things off the racks. She handed them to me and shoved me gently into a dressing room. I put the first thing on.
I looked into the floor-length mirror. It was a skimpy looking midnight blue nightgown, which was almost, see through. "Rosalie Lillian Hale there is no way I am coming out of this dressing room!" I screamed.
The curtain door then was ripped open. I lifted my hands to cover myself. "What are you talking about Bella? You look hot I would so do you if I wasn't married and you weren't engaged." Rosalie said winking at me.
It made me a bit uncomfortable. "Come on Bella I'm sure Edward would really appreciate it. If you know what I mean." Rosalie said suggestively. I rolled my eyes. We left Victoria's Secret with eight bags.
We spent the day talking about anything and everything. "Rosalie. Um would like to be one of my bridesmaids?" I asked quietly. I don't know how our friendship was. I was hoping this was one of our safe topics.
"Really? You want me to be one of your bridesmaids? I would love to." Rosalie said hugging me. I hugged her tightly back. I was glad we were at least friends.
"I have an idea. Let's go skydiving!" Rosalie said. Doing an illegal u-turn and speeding off. "WHAT?" I screamed. Skydiving? Was she insane?
"Oh come on Bella. Live a little. You will be strapped to an instructor. You are only human once." Rosalie said pulling into the airport where they did skydiving. This was not going to go well.
Edward Pov:
Chief Swan and I were driving back to his place when he got a call. "Well change of plans Edward. Guess you are coming on a call with me." Chief Swan said as we began the drive to the store that was being robbed. There were no officers there. Oh how ironic it was the Newton's Outfitters.
Please I want my Mommy. Please don't hurt me. I don't want to die. I heard Mike's terrified thoughts. I laughed internally. "Well Edward you stay out here. While I deal with this mess." Chief Swan said. Sneaking around the back. Was he insane? He could get himself killed.
I went into the shop after Chief Swan did. I kept my senses alert at all times. I had to keep Chief Swan safe for Bella. I was close to Chief Swan. I heard a gunshot go off. Using my vampire speed I pulled Chief Swan away from the bullet so he wouldn't get hurt or worse.
Shit! I just exposed us to Chief Swan. He was looking at me wide-eyed. I quickly knocked the robber out. I let Chief Swan handcuff him. Mike hadn't seen anything he was still whimpering in the corner. "Mikey it's all over." I scoffed and walked over to where Chief Swan was loading the guy into the back of the cruiser.
"Once this is over I need an explanation." Chief Swan said sternly. I nodded stiffly. How in the world did he do that? He just saved my life.
Once the attempted robber was placed into jail. Chief Swan and I drove back to his place. "Ok Edward what do you have to say for yourself? How did you do that?" Chief Swan asked as we sat down at his dining room table.
"Well before you freak out on me please let me say all my intentions are good. I would never hurt anyone intentionally. What happened in my past I regret immensely. Nothing can change what happened but I just want to move forward." I said. I was worried how Charlie would take all this.
What in the world is he talking about? "Spit it out boy. What is it that you are?" Chief Swan said getting impatient. "Well my family and I are a coven of Vampires that only feed off animal blood. We would never hurt anyone." I said.
Then Chief Swan started laughing. I just looked at him. This situation wasn't funny. "Oh you were actually being serious?" Chief Swan asked once he had contained his laughter.
"Yes before you ask Bella knows about us. She has known for quite a while. Ever since that night she came back from Port Angeles with Angela and Jessica. She trusts my family and I. The thing is she wants to become one of us. So she is after the wedding." I said to Chief Swan putting it all out there.
"Wow. That was not what I was expecting. Bella wants to become one of you?" Chief Swan asked suspiciously. I nodded.
"I tried to fight here on it but she is too stubborn for her own good. So we discussed this and came to the decision that she would be changed after the wedding." I said.
Chief Swan then got up out of his chair and walked over to me. "I never got to thank you for saving my life." Chief Swan said holding his arms out. He was going to hug me. I stood up and he wrapped his arms around me in a man hug. "It was no Problem Chief Swan." I said once he let go.
"Go ahead, call me Charlie." He said.
Bella Pov:
We were up in the plane. I was terrified. I was strapped to an instructor about to jump out of the plane. Rosalie was strapped to another instructor. "Ready!" My instructor called out. I found his name was Peter. I gripped onto the straps tightly as I looked out of the plane where we would be jumping I a few seconds. I tried not to start panicking as I thought of all the scenarios that could happen.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Then we were falling out of the plane. I screamed. We free fell for twenty seconds then he let out the parachute. The view was amazing. I could see all the dark Evergreens growing all around the forests of Washington. They looked like little blobs of green and brown paint splatters from as far up as we were. Once I had gotten over the fear I could enjoy the scenery.
This view was so much better up here than in those trees Edward took me into quite a few months back. Peter was pointing out all the different buildings that we could see from this distance. I looked over at Rosalie she was enjoying the scenery as we drifted towards the ground.
Once we landed on the ground safely I wrapped my arms around my instructor and squealed. "That was so much fun." I would have to do this again with Edward. Once we had left we made it back to my house. I saw Charlie's cruiser. Wait wasn't Charlie taking Edward fishing? They must be back then.
"You took her skydiving?" Edward yelled at Rosalie. Once we had gotten to my house. Oh Edward was here. Not that I wasn't excited to see him I was. "Edward I am fine I was strapped to an instructor. You should go with me one time." I said looking at Edward through my eyelashes.
"As long as you are safe." He said wrapping his arms around me and kissing my forehead. "Oh and Charlie knows about Vampires." Edward finished.
