AN: All right this is my first fan fiction. Please read and review. Flames welcome. Also this is in your hands let me know what you think should happen! Anyway thanks for reading !

Oh, this is in Bella's POV. If I change the POV, I will say so at the beginning of the chapter.

Chapter One

Thinking and Hoping

I looked up at my angel, I knew that this was going to be difficult, Charlie was definitely not going to be happy. I sighed. However at this moment I knew that everything would be okay as long as Edward was with me.

I toyed with the ring on my finger. I was nervous. I hoped that this would go over well, that Charlie and Renee and everyone else would be happy for me. But I knew better than that. I doubted that anyone was going to take the news of my engagement well, at least no one except the Cullens.

It was then that I realized that we had stopped driving, we were parked in my driveway and Edward was staring at me concern evident in his warm topaz eyes.

"Don't worry about me, it's just that I know that Charlie is positively going to hate me for this."

"You don't have to do this you know. We could go to Vegas and no one would have to know."

He smirked at me obviously trying to lighten my ominous mood. I knew that Edward was trying to make me feel better about all of this, but he was just making me doubt myself even more. I couldn't have any more doubts, because I knew that this was what I had to do.

"No, we doing this right. Let's go tell Charlie, no doubt he's seen your car by now and is wondering why we haven't come in."

Edward opened my door and helped me out. He slid his arm around my waist and pulled me toward the door. I opened it and stepped inside, I heard that Charlie had a game on in the other room.

" Charlie!" I called his name just as he came into the room. " Charlie, I have something I need to tell you."

" All right Bells, what is it?"

Edward spoke up for the first since we had entered the house. "Charlie you may want to have a seat" he said. Now I saw some anxiety in Charlie's eyes he knew that this wasn't going to be a pleasant conversation.

Charlie took a seat across from me and Edward at the table. " Now Bells what is it?" Charlie asked tentatively.

"Well . . . " I began nervously. "Dad Edward and I are engaged."

AN: Ooh. What will Charlie say, how will everyone else take the news? Guess you're just going to have to review. Constructive criticism encouraged. I'll try to update in the next day or two, but the more reviews I get the faster I'll review so push the pretty purple button and REVIEW! Also I'm sorry my chapters are so short, trust me they'll get much longer, but I want to save what happens with Charlie for another chapter because it's pivotal.
