Chapter 2
A/N: Thank youbookworm0094 for reviewing and giving me advise.
Bella's POV
I couldn't take my eyes off the floor; I relied on Edward's hand pulling me into the living room. I looked up to see Charlie, who was still in his uniform, narrow his eyes at me.
"Bells, what happened? Are you alright? You're so pale." Charlie quickly looked at Edward and then back to me.
I waited for anyone to say anything. I sighed and spoke first.
"Dad I need to tell you something, something big, Edward … Edward and I… love each other" the last part I only managed to whisper. "This is going to work. We know it. So, so. We … just … we… are." I felt Edward's hand tighten on mine.
"Sir, I would like to ask permission to marry you daughter." Edward's calm, positive words came out so easily.
Charlie breathed in then out through his teeth, he looked back and forth, Edward to me. He let out a slight grunt.
"You… you…you…" he pointed at Edward. "What are you thinking?... She's only eighteen."
"Bella is my life, sir. We have formally spoken about this issue and have contemplated the affects it will have on both us and other members of the family."
Charlie looked franticly at me. "Bella please, you're too young, just like your mother and I were." I could nearly feel Charlie's sadness and panic. For a moment I thought Jasper's gift had rubbed off onto me.
"Dad this is what I want, no, what I need. I love Edward with all my heart and nothing can change that."
He looked at me for a minute and closed his eyes. "Bella do what you think is right. I cannot tell you who to fall in love with, if he… if Edward makes you happy then I guess you should." He opened his eyes and view Edward and stuck his hand out, Edward looked at it then into his eyes. They both shook hands. Then Charlie pulled him into a man-hug and whispered:
"Welcome to the family son."
