Hearing

The word rape and your daughters name in the same sentence is enough to send chills down any parents spine.

The relief I felt was tempered with guilt after hearing it was Bella Swan and not my Alice that was attacked. Alice was sitting in the exam room, Bella holding on to her with a death grip.

Tears streamed down both of their faces, mixing with the blood.

Alice had a cut on her head that she received after the attacker threw her off his back and into a tree. Bella had multiple contusions and abrasions.

She was a mess.

Dawn

Sleep was something that didn't come easy lately. I was up before dawn every morning, worrying about Alice. She was a constant at Bella's side, the only one that could offer her any comfort.

When they came into the hospital with Charlie, what I feared most, was realized.

Bella was pregnant.

As I gave them the news, I watched as Bella broke. My daughter comforted her.

Alice looked up at me and I saw the switch take place, the sadness was replaced with a look of pure determination.

And I knew, in that moment, that everything would be okay.

Eventually.

Focus

Watching as Alice cared for the baby and Bella, whenever Charlie was at work, made me both proud and sad.

Proud that my daughter could be counted on in any situation and sad at the fact they were both losing their childhood. Bella's innocence' ripped away from her and Alice's given willingly in an effort to help her best friend.

When Alice called a family meeting and talked about Bella wanting to give the baby to Edward and Jasper, I focused on the joy this would bring. That suddenly an overwhelming situation had hope.

And I would be a grandfather.

Serve

Charlie had come over, exhaustion shown clearly on his face. He had lost his daughter somewhere along the way and now he was losing his grandchild.

"It is my job to protect and serve and I couldn't even keep my daughter safe." Tears spilled freely from his eyes as I reached out and rubbed his shoulder gently. "I've lost everything."

"No, Charlie, Alice will help Bella, and Edward and Jasper would be thrilled to have you around. You will always be Jacob's grandpa. Always."

He smiled slightly and nodded before getting up and walking out the door.

Watch

We were having a family barbeque today. All my children would be home, except for Alice. Bella had been doing so much better since their trip away, but she still was not ready to see Jacob.

Edward and Jasper were bringing him over, and Charlie would be there as well.

It was a joy to watch Charlie and Jacob play together. They would laugh so hard as they wrestled or played tag. Jake's little legs would pump real hard as he tried to run as fast as he could until Charlie finally caught him and blew raspberries on his belly.
