Sorry I posted this earlier today, but there was an error, I hope it's working now!

READ ME!- A/N: Long time no see! Props go out to mercedesfrk1121 (check out her stories, she's amazing!) for stepping in to beta this chapter, while my beta is on a love fest ( I miss you come back!). I don't own twilight, I do own a college diaploma, a signed Phillies baseball, and a sunburn.

BPOV

I think it was the fact that Charlie life revolved around in forcing the law that I never went over the speed limit. Yet the more I dwelled on what Jacob just did, the more my foot became heavier than a boulder. I didn't feel one ounce of guilt either.

When I reached the La Push border I wasn't sure which house I should go to. I would pass Billy's house first, so I drove by slowly, noticing Charlie's police cruiser sitting outside, beside Jake's truck.
As I parked my car, fear started to grip at my stomach. What was I going to say to Charlie? How was I going to stop myself from ripping Jacob to shreds?

I tried picturing the conversation in my head. Charlie was either going to be very calm about the whole situation or he was to flip shit. Just great.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nervous. Hormones and emotions were surging through my body, so I needed to just calm down.

As I turned off the car, and pushed open the door, I had to remind myself to take deep breaths. This was going to be ok, Alice was right; Charlie would love me no matter what.

I hope. I had to shake those thoughts right now, or there was no way I was going to make it through this discussion.

I took my time walking to the house, and didn't even knock when I made it to the door. Billy was part of the family; I was still part of the family.

"Jake? Dad?" I called, stopping at the door to take my shoes off.

"In the living room, Bells." I heard Jake's voice call out. Great. Charlie wasn't talking. Not a good sign.

I trudged into the living room, seeing Charlie and Sue on one couch, Jake on another, and Billy in his wheel chair in between the two couches.

I felt like I was at my own intervention, my addiction; a vampire.

I stood awkwardly at the entering way, waiting for the yelling to erupt, or the disappointment to commence. Yet it didn't just more awkwardness.

"Bella why don't you come sit by me?" Jake finally broke the stillness.

I hesitated at first, then walked over to the couch and sitting as far away from Jake as possible. By habit I almost put my hands up to protect my baby, but I wasn't sure what all has been said yet.

I heard someone clear their throat, and then shift in the couch.

"Bella how much is true?" Charlie questioned, not bring his eyes to mine, just staring at the old carpet.

My eyes dropped as well. The carpet was once probably a white, but years of wear turned it to a light gray.

"That depends, how much has Jacob told you? You are such an idiot Jacob Black!" I spat out, eyes shooting daggers Jake's way.

"Don't act like that Bells; I'm just trying to help you. Besides how long did you expect to hide this from Charlie?"

What Jake said made me stop in my tracks. It was true; I don't think I'd be able to hide this from Charlie. In the beginning I had a plan, Charlie would assume that I was at college and never able to come home to visit. As for the rest of the years, we were going to figure out when they came.

But now? I had children; I had to be tied to Jake, meaning I had to be tied to Charlie and Sue. I was tied to this place in a way that I wasn't before. In ways that could not be broken.

"Jake has told me well a lot of things. I don't know what to believe. I feel out of the loop, everything knows what's really going on here, but me."

I turned to Jake. "What have you told him?"

"Well when I ran out of here, I want to Charlie's. He came outside and I started to tell him about our legends and about the monsters the Cullen's are. I also told him, how I imprinted, I didn't cheat."

Jake's eyes left mine, and locked on Charlie's. The last sentence was emphasized, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Out of everything that's happening right now, at this very moment all Jake cares about is what Charlie thinks of him.

"Then I phased to show him. At first I thought he was going to have a heart attack, but he didn't. He just took it like a champ. Then Sue came out and we decided that it was time for, 'that talk'. So we all came over here, because I figured Billy should be here also."

Wait, what? Did Jake just say he….phased…in front of…Charlie?!

I shoot up out of my seat. "YOU DID WHAT?!"

"I phased in front of him, you know, to show him." He said calmly.

"You are an idiot! You could have hurt him! Jeez, do you think about anyone but yourself! I could murder you right now, you do know this right?" I shouted.

Jake's massive body sprung up from the couch, his head almost hitting the ceiling.

"I'm the idiot! I'm not the one traipsing around with those leeches! I'm not the one that is living with those monsters! I'm not the one that's putting our children in danger. Every. Single. Day!"

Just mentioning the twins made me even more infuriated. "How dare you bring Eli and Masen into this! You're just Father of the Year aren't you? You lying, cheating, piece of-"

"Isabella Marie!"

"Jacob James!" Our father's said at the same time.

Our heads snapped over to our fathers. "What?" We said in unison.

"Sit down, now. You two are grown adults, stop this fighting. You two used to love each other, now look at ya." He paused, giving us to time to sit down and collect ourselves.

"Now, we've come here to discuss, whatever is going on. I just want to start with, Bella. Are you freaking insane?!"

I was slightly taken back. "What?"

"How long have you known, I mean you dated Edward and you were a frequent visitor in their house, you had to know something was happening?"

I wasn't sure if he was finished or was going to continue on his rant.

"And you Jacob Black. A wolf, are you all crazy? I mean, well I wouldn't believe it if I didn't witness it myself. Yet it all makes sense now. The 'bear attacks', everyone always being so hush, hush, all the kids growing like they were on steriods. "

"I've known since, Edward stopped Tyler's van from crushing me." I spoke in a small voice.

"Within months of being here! I knew there was something about that boy. I knew I couldn't trust him!"

"Dad! Edward is an amazing person, and he always protected me!" I was getting defensive I know, but he was trying to bad mouth Edward.

"Protected you?" He said with a humorless laugh. "I know he has something to do with what happened in Phoenix, and he left you Bella. Don't you remember what it was after he left?" His voice trailed off, as hurt seeped into his words.

He didn't want to remember those months after Edward left, and either did I. But I knew he was thinking about it, he was thinking about his own daughter, small, fragile, and dead like.

"Dad." I said, standing up and going to sit on the arm of the couch, where he sat. "Edward had nothing to do with Phoenix, he came back to save me. Yes he did leave me six years ago, but I'm not angry at him anymore. If he wouldn't have left, we wouldn't have Elizabeth and Masen. I wouldn't have the little baby that is growing in me right now." My hands flew to my stomach as my eyes met Charlie's.

"That is true. I can't even imagine life without Eli and Masen-" Charlie stopped mid sentence and shot up off the couch.

"You're pregnant!" Charlie and Billy yelled at the same time.

Sue also stood up, placing her hands on Charlie's shoulders. "Charlie calm down."

"No I won't calm down! Jesus Christ Bella! I don't know if I'm more disappointed that you are once again having a child and you aren't married; or that you had sex with….a… with a....vampire." He flopped back down on the couch and put his hand in his head.

"My head is spinning, I can't believe any of this." His words were muffled by his hands.

"Charlie you have to believe it. This is all real." Sue reassured him, gesturing towards Jacob then myself.

"I need to clear my head. Jacob if you don't mind, can you give Sue a ride home?" Charlie stood up, walked past me and out the door to his car.

"Well that didn't go like I thought it would?" Jacob said.

"Shut up Jake! God this is all you fault!" I jabbed a finger at him.

"All my fault? How is this my fault!? You're the one that got knocked up by a bloodsucker! I'm not the one that-"

"Jacob Black, stop that right now! You chose your path and Bella has chosen her." Sue was standing up for me.

"As I recall Jacob, we wouldn't be in this situation if you would have just told me the truth and never lied about me being your imprint, so you can shove it."

"God I'm so sick of hearing that! I did it for you! Plus like you said earlier, we wouldn't have Eli and Masen, so you can shove it."

My temples were starting to pound, and my back was starting to ache, and I just wanted to get home.

"Whatever Jake. I'm tired of fighting with you. I need to get home. Sue want a ride?" I turned to her.

"Yes please. Billy, Jake, I will see you tomorrow at the council meeting."

Together we walked out to my car, a drizzle falling from the sky. I quickly unlocked the doors, slid in and started the car.

The short drive to Charlie's was silent. It was when I finally pulled up in front of the house, that Sue turned to face me.

"Bella, you are like a daughter to me. If you say that the Cullen's protect you, I believe it. Your father will come around. I never wanted him to know the truth, but after Jake imprinted, it was only a matter of time before he had to know. I used to hold a grudge against the Cullen's, but not anymore. This life growing in you is a blessing, not a curse." With that she opened her door and got out.

I tried to hold myself together on the drive home. Rain plus blurry vision doesn't equal good driving skills. I had to keep going; I had to get home to the people that loved me. But these hormones were getting the best of me, and when I was outside the La Push Border, I pulled over to the shoulder and cried. Big, fat crocodile tears poured out of my eyes.

"Bella, why are you crying?" I heard her velvety voice say, before I even knew she was there. She slid into the passenger side of the car.

"Where do I begin, Alice?" I managed to get out between hiccups.

"I take it; it didn't go so well with Charlie? Oh Bella, he loves you. It's a lot to take at once. He feels like he's been lied to for the last seven years. He'll come around." She soothed, tugging me into a hug.

"Can you see Charlie's future? Is he going to forgive me?" I asked. I needed the reassurance.

"Silly Bella, I don't need to see the future to know that he's going to forgive you. Anyways I only see snippets of his future now that he lives on La Push and has two stepchildren that are wolves."

She was right, Charlie was my father. I was his only child by blood, I've made some extremely stupid mistakes in my life and he's forgiven me before. He'll get over this; he'll understand why I couldn't tell him.

"Now come on. Eli and Masen want to see you, and Edward is getting very impatient waiting for you. He can be so pushy at times; it's a wonder how you put up with him." She smiled at me.

I tried my best to wipe the tears away without leaving them red and puffy. The last thing I wanted was for Edward to go down to La Push and knock some skulls together.

When we made it back to the house, I jogged up the stairs and into the house. Masen was sitting on the floor with Emmett. They had Spunky lying on his back, swatting at his cat toy, that Emmett had dangling in the air.

Esme and Rose where standing at the foot of the steps with a camera.

"What's going on guys? Where's Jasper and Carlisle?" I asked them.

Esme turned towards me. "They went out for a little hunting trip, it's still hard for Jasper, with having the twins around. As for why we are standing here, Elizabeth is modeling and she's making Edward model with her. It's very comical."

"What's she doing to him?" I asked.

"Oh, you'll just have to wait and see." Rosalie chuckled out.

As if on cue, Eli appeared at the top of the steps.

"Mommy! You've made it back for our fashion show! Edward looks pretty!"

Alice walked over to my side and started to laugh. "Get your cameras ready ladies, this is one for the photo album."

"I heard that Alice!" Edward voice shouted from a room upstairs.

Eli came down; wearing the fairy outfit that Alice had given her as a gift. She tripped on the bottom step, but righted herself. She glided to the door and back to the bottom of the steps, twirling and posing. Esme and Rose snapping pictures while everyone was 'ohing and awing'.

"Ok, Edward come down, everyone's here to see you!" She bellowed to the top of the stairs.

It took a couple minutes for him to emerge, and I know it was because he was trying to gather his courage. Knowing the Cullen's this was going to never be forgotten.

Then he materialized at the top of the steps, and I busted up laughing. Edward stood in all his glory wearing my old off white wedding dress. The dress that went mid way to my shins went three inches above his knees. Since I was months away from giving birth the dress was extra large, meaning it fit Edward perfect. Over my wedding dress he was wearing my blue shawl from prom.

He took the stairs one at the time; I'm sure he was afraid that he might by some, chance fall, and make this situation even worse.

"Oh my God! Hey sexy come here often?" Emmett said, grabbing the camera out of Rose's hands and snapping away.

"Come on Edward make love to the camera. Jasper is going to be so pissed that he missed this!" He booming laughter filled the room.

At vampire speed, Edward ran down the stairs, "Don't swear in front of the children."

A closer look at Edward, and I noticed he was wearing poorly placed makeup and hair clips. Eli must have done it. On his eyes he smudgy pink eye shadow and dark black eye liner. He had three noticeable clips in his hair, and I knew more were lost among the mess.

The whole thing made me forget all about Charlie and Jake and just get lost in the hilarious state of affairs in front of me.

Emmett and Esme kept snapping away, as the rest of us laughed at Edward's expense.

As if reading someone's minds, Edward spoke up. "I did it because Elizabeth asked me to. I'd do anything for her."

"Did she paint your nails too Eddie?" Rose inquired.

"Very funny, but no. I'm going upstairs to change." He mumbled, as he ran upstairs.

After Edward was cleaned up and back in regular clothes, we sent the kids upstairs to play while I told the Cullen's about Charlie.

"So is Charlie finally going to come after me with a shoot gun?" Edward asked sitting down on the couch next to me.

A humorless laugh escaped my lips, "I doubt. He said he was disappointed in me and he wasn't sure if it was from me being a whore or from dating a vampire."

Everyone gasped.

"Sweetie, you father didn't really disrespect you with that word, did he?" Esme asked.

"No! No, sorry. He basically did but not in that words, he said he didn't know if he was more disappointed in the fact that I'm pregnant and not married, or dating a vampire and just never told him."

I felt Edward stiffen besides me and reached for my hand.

"It's ok Edward. He'll come around, I am his only daughter."

"Mommy, I'm getting sleepy. Can we get ready for bed?" I heard Eli's voice before I saw her. Her little body followed her voice, as she walked into the living room and onto Edward's lap.

"Sure baby, just give me one minute, my feet are really hurting." In my own ears I sounded whiney, but I didn't care.

"Don't worry love, I got it. Come on sweetie, let's go brush your teeth then we can read a book."

After Edward and Eli walked upstairs, Esme came and sat next to me, placing her hand on mine.

"I'm so proud of him. He's going to be a remarkable father."

I felt tears pricking at my eyes. "I know he will. I knew from the beginning he would. It was just making him see that was the hard part. I just want to thank you guys so much. I'm sure my life was such a mess when you guys showed up, but you've all been very helpful and understanding. I love you all very much." I stood, hoping they'd get the hint that I wanted a group hug. They did, especially Emmett; he pulled me into a tight bear hug.

"I guess I can't really do that anymore, can I? I don't want to hurt the tiger growing in you." Emmett bent down to his knees, putting his mouth inches away from my stomach.

"When you're old enough to walk, we're starting your baseball training camp. Since we don't age we can't play, but we are going to teach you the Cullen's family secret baseball tips and you are going to be a huge star!" His laughter boomed out.

I started to laugh along with Emmett, when a yawn managed to squeeze its way in. I know I took a small nap this afternoon, but today's events were really starting to wear on me.

"I think I'm going to head up to bed also. Feel free to do whatever you usually do while humans sleep. Night guys."

I took the stairs slowly, the day taking its toll on me. When I got to the top of the stairs, I poked my head into the twin's room. Masen was already asleep, sprawled out and twisted in his sheets, his wolf in his arm, and Spunky sleeping down at his feet.

"One more story please Edward." I heard Eli beg. She was still awake, laying on her bed, Edward sitting on the edge and book in his hand.

"Ok, but shh don't tell your Mommy, she'll be mad at me that I didn't let you go to sleep."

I stood in the door way, watching Edward as he re-read Corduroy. He made it half way through the book, when he stopped, Eli must have fallen asleep. Edward stood up, placing the book back on the bookshelf. He then walked back over to Eli and kissed her on the cheek, then walked over to Masen and kissed his hair.

I quickly walked over to the bedroom, so he wouldn't know I was watching. Who am I trying to kid, of course he'd know.

As if reading my thoughts, Edward strolled into the room.

"I know you were watching. I could hear your heartbeat." He quickly stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed. His cold hand landed on my stomach, sending chills up my spine.

"So I'll be able to hear another heartbeat hopefully. We're about three weeks in, so about three more weeks and we'll hear a heartbeat. If we hear one before or after that, Carlisle said we could estimate his growth rate. He also said he wants to do an ultra sound into the sixth week as well."

He paused for second, tracing circles around my navel.

"Tomorrow I was thinking we could go get you vitamins. Folic Acid, to help prevent any defects of the neural tube. Protein to help grow new tissue and of course calcium for strong bones. You'll need to start eating healthy. Leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, whole grains. You're eating for two now, and I'm not having my son born on artificial flavorings and processed foods" He shuddered as if they were bad things, well actually they are.

"Ok." I said in between yawn.

Edward chuckled, "Sleep my Bella, dream happy dreams, you are the only one who has ever touched my heart, it will always be yours, sleep my only love."

A/N: Ok, so I'm sorry! I had my graduation, my mommy graduated from college (i'm so proud of her!) and my sister graduated from high school, add on a Phillies game (which they lost boooo!) and looking for a real job, I've been very very busy! So I hoped everyone liked this chapter, don't worry about Charlie he'll come around. When I was a little kid my stepdad used to let us dress him up make up and all, and I found an old picture of us doing it, so I had to write Edward doing the same thing. Ok so now on for the reason I wanted you to read this. I don't have children, my friends do and so does my brother, but I need someone on here that can help me. Pregnancy websites only go so far, and I fear that if my parents catch me looking at them they'll have a heartattack. So anyone that has children, PM me please I have some questions. Thanks guys for sticking with me through this story. I love you all. I think I'm going to try something new. For everyone that reviews you will get a sneak peak to the next chapter! It won't work for annoyomous reviews though. So review and show me some love because I've missed you guys!
