Carlisle's grip tightened on Charlie's clothes, keeping him pinned to the hood of the truck. "It would be at your best interest Charlie Swan if you would get in your truck, leave town forever. I will not have you speak to my daughter- to-be or hit her again! You should be glad that I didn't rip your head off for slapping her right then and there. I will still do it if you don't comply with my orders." Glamouring him was not in Carlisle's mind right now. He could do it the easy way to make him leave but Carlisle was past the point of wanting it the ease way.

Emmett moved from the porch out a little closer into the darken night where Carlisle was with Charlie. He knew there wasn't anything he really needed to do, Carlisle could certainly handle himself. Charlie made a quick move to try to grab his gun that he had hid on his right side. Carlisle grabbed his arm and twisted his wrist breaking it in two places "that is for Bella" then Carlisle swiftly moved then pulled the gun out with the other hand and threw it at Emmett's feet on the ground. Charlie yelped in pain. Carlisle yanked him from off the truck to his feet then let him go "get out of here."

Charlie grabbed his wrist "you broke my wrist!"

Emmett chuckled to himself, eyes squinted at the gun. He picked it up, unloaded it then tossed the gun onto the porch step.

Charlie shouted "You can't make me do anything Dr. Cullen. You won't get away with this!"

"Yes he will!" Emmett said calmly. "You really don't want to make him mad Charlie."

Charlie holding his wrist walked backwards toward the truck, Carlisle paced forward in his direction "don't come back!" Charlie was going to use the radio in his truck. He smirked at Carlisle opening the door to his truck. He slid in and reached for his radio to call out. Carlisle was in his face before he could speak, hand grabbed the radio from under the dash and ripped it with the mount out of the truck. Charlie freaked, that radio had been mounted with bolts and screws. It was impossible to move it without having to screw it out. "How did you? You just ripped that out!"

Carlisle's eyes glowed brighter gold "if you don't want something of yours ripped out you best leave right now!"

Charlie gulped loudly "okay. okay. I'm leaving!"


Twenty minutes later Carlisle and Emmett walked back in to the house with calm expressions heading to the kitchen quickly. Bella's hands dropped from her face that was buried in them "I'm so sorry you had to deal with him." Emmett sat down beside her wrapping his strong arms around her.

"Bella. It's over with. You're safe and he's not coming back." Carlisle stood by the stove then smelt the burnt fried chicken then started plundering in her cabinets "I'll get you some food then you should eat and go to bed. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and you got to go to work early." Emmett nodded.

Bella groaned "I'll just eat a sandwich." She stood up and Carlisle's hand motioned for her to sit "I'll make it. What do you want on it?"

"Bread and ham only, plain is good" sitting back down leaning against Emmett who was throwing his arm around her, dark eyes watched Carlisle then slanted over to Alice then Emmett. Carlisle walked over handing her a plate with the sandwich on it "Thank you Carlisle."

Smiling looking concerned "you're welcome" stepping back leaving against the counter by the sink "I already took care of your double shift tomorrow. You go in a 7am and get off at 3pm."

There was something special Esme, Rosalie, Jasper and Edward were back at the house planning at this moment for Christmas Eve night for Bella. Even Santa would be visiting her late that night after she went to bed, as a big surprise from Emmett. Esme and Rosalie just loved planning things, especially to surprise someone and it had been a long time since they got to have a party too.

Bella finished her sandwich, "very good. I couldn't have made it any better."

"Suck up." Emmett laughed.

"How am I doing?" she giggled.

Alice laughed "I'm heading out because I have to help Rosalie with something. I'll run back Carlisle so just keep the car." He nodded "thanks Alice for telling me about tonight. See you tomorrow." Alice hugged Carlisle then hugged Bella and was gone.

Carlisle watched her leave then turned his golden eyes on Bella, "Bella, I'll stay till it gets close to sunlight, then I'll head out with Emmett so you can dress for work. I just want to make sure you're safe after what happened tonight."

Bella nodded "thank you. I'd appreciate that Dad."

Emmett smiled, she was fitting in perfectly. Bella went to take her plate to the sink but Carlisle took it from her instead "let me."

Bella sighed "Okay, but can I just sleep on the couch tonight since you guys are staying over? I don't want to miss anything."

Emmett looked at Carlisle then back at her, "why not." He could put her sound to sleep and take her to bed within 1 minute anyway. "Lets go watch some tv."

Bella wiped her eyes, looking really tired before glancing at the clock seeing it was 10pm already. Bella sat on the couch between the two of them, but snuggled up to Emmett. Emmett looked in her eyes "Bella. I'm sorry to do this to you" his eyes began glamorizing hers "you are sleepy, go to sleep and dream sweet dreams" her eyes got extremely heavy "love you Emm" then she fell straight into a deep sleep.

Carlisle gave him thumbs up as Emmett picked her up and carried her to bed and tucked her in. They stood watch all night until 5:25am before her 5:30am alarm clock went off, leaving breakfast they had cooked for her on the kitchen table.


Next morning she woke not remembering how she got in her bed. She shook her head then got on up, showered and dressed, knowing the guys should have been gone already. She could smell food as she walked down the stairs. She found the breakfast on the table still hot. "That was really sweet." She ate a few bites then cleaned the plate before heading to the hospital to begin her shift.

3pm came quickly, not much was going on. Bella had all the nurses talking to her, being so nice. Probably since Carlisle liked her and actually took her to eat the last shift she worked. They all would do anything just for him to speak to them, Bella found it amusing. Grabbing her keys, slipping on her jacket she made her way out to her truck then headed home calling Emmett letting him know she was heading home now. He told her he would pick her up at 6:30pm after it got dark. She drove up, not noticing anything different then headed inside.

She sat her keys down on the kitchen table then made her way upstairs to soak in the tub a little while then dress in something really cute since she was going to the Cullen's tonight. 6:15pm, Bella had dressed in a pale pink soft fitted sweater, dark jeans, hair rolled into spiral curls with the curling iron, pink bracelet with matching dangling earrings.

She headed down the stairs noticing lights outside, looking across the room at the clock 6:20pm and it was already really dark outside "what is that?" She walked to the door and opened it noticing her porch and house covered in white Christmas lights, she laughed "they are so sneaky!" Then Emmett came pulling up in the drive in Rosalie's red corvette laughing seeing she just discovered the beautiful Christmas lights.
