A/N: Ready for Charlie's reaction? This chapter is gonna be Edward's POV, so we can catch a glimpse of how terrified he is =P Be forewarned that there is a lemon at the end of the chapter. I marked it with asterisks again if you prefer to skip over that part.
DISCLAIMER: I'm pretty sure this goes without saying, but w/e: I don't own Twilight.

"Wow."
I sat completely still, not sure if I should be shaking Charlie's hand or running for my life. He only uttered the one word, then turned back into a statue. Bella was beginning to fidget next to me, starting to become as nervous as I had been all night. Thankfully Charlie's gun was hanging up in its holster by the door, so if I could get outside before he got to it and took the safety off, I might actually have a chance.
My heart rate accelerated and I began breathing heavily the second Charlie's eyes locked with mine. He stared right at me, his eyes boring holes through my head, his face betraying no emotion. I think I might actually have preferred for him to have just attacked me right at the start; this was horror movie shit. Any second, his head would spin in a complete circle and lava would shoot out of his mouth. My fantasies were cut short when Charlie cleared his throat, looking a little nervous.
"So, twins, huh?" He chuckled uncomfortably and Bella relaxed into my side. She pulled the folded up sonogram picture out of her pocket and handed it to Charlie. He opened it gently with a wary look in his eyes, like the photograph was going to spontaneously combust in his hands. His eyes widened as they took in the image, and a single teared spilled onto his right cheek. He looked up at Bella and smiled softly.
"I'm going to be a grandpa," he whispered. Bella sighed in relief and nodded her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. Charlie's eyes flicked to me and hardened slightly, causing my heart to skip a beat, then he sighed and ran his hand through his dark hair.
"Edward, I should be ready to shoot you right now for getting my baby girl pregnant." Bella tensed next to me, and I tightened my arm around her waist. "But I know you love her, and I trust that you'll take good care of her and my grandchildren. You're going to make a good father, son." He smiled slightly and my body finally relaxed, now sure that I would survive the evening.
"So, Edward, have you two kids talked about all of this?" he gave me a meaningful look and I smiled down at Bella and nodded my head.
"Actually, I asked Bella to marry me this afternoon, and she agreed." My voice was filled with pure bliss, and Charlie nodded, deep in thought.
"Well, do you kids have anything planned then? You only have a little over a month left of school. What are you going to do in the fall? And when are you planning on getting married?" Charlie looked back and forth between the two of us, and Bella spoke up to answer his questions.
"Well we decided that we still want to go to school in the fall, since I'm not due until late November or early December. Then we'll have all of the holidays to settle into some sort of routine with the babies before starting back up in the spring. We'll have Alice, Rose, Emmett, and Jazz there to help us, so we should be able to manage. I mean, I know it will be difficult, but I think it's best if we both continue school." Charlie nodded in agreement, and Bella looked at me to answer Charlies other question.
"I think we should get married sooner, rather than later. I don't see any reason to wait; maybe we could plan the wedding for the end of the summer, just before school starts?" I looked to Bella for reassurance, and she nodded vigorously with a large smile on her face.
"Definitely. I'm sure Alice and Esme would be able to help me plan a wedding for mid-July maybe? That way we could take a week or two for our honeymoon before we need to come back and get our apartment set up." She turned to face me and my heart swelled as I looked into her eyes; I had never seen her look so beautiful or so truly happy. She really was breathtaking, and she was all mine.
"Well, it's all pretty sudden, but I guess is was gonna happen eventually anyway, right?" Charlie chuckled. Bella and I joined him, then spent the rest of the evening in a comfortable silence watching ESPN. It was almost 10:30pm when I stood to leave, receiving a tight hug and congratulations from Charlie. Bella had asked to stay at my house tonight, so we could continue talking about our plans. We were going to take the day off again tomorrow with a doctor's note from Carlisle. We all felt it was best if Bella and I sorted things out before heading back to school, hopefully keeping her from feeling too much stress.
Bella quickly packed an overnight bag and hugged Charlie tightly before heading out the door with me. We rode to my house in silence, our hands linked between us, and Bella was snoring softly when I pulled into my garage. I opened her door and draped her bag over my shoulder before lifting her up bridal style and carrying her to the house. Her eyes remained closed as I carried her up the stairs to my bedroom, and I laid her softly on my bed.
"Bella, angel, wake up," I whispered softly. I pressed a kiss to her forehead and her eyes slowly fluttered open. She stretched her arms about above her head and sighed softly, sitting up to wrap her arms around me.
"Do I get my ring now?" she asked quietly. I peeked at her face and a beautiful blush had filled her cheeks. I laughed softly and stood to pull the small velvet box out of the drawer in my bedside table. I placed the box in the palm of her hand and watched her carefully I she lifted the lid. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped open in an adorable 'o' shape, and she lifted her index finger to stroke the ring softly.
"It was my grandmother's. She and my grandfather were married for sixty years, and she left her ring to my father when she passed away, asking him to give it to either me or Alice when the time came." Her eyes began to water as I gently lifted the ring from the box and slid it onto her left hand. The ring fit her perfectly, shining brightly on her dainty finger.
"Edward, it's absolutely perfect. Thank you," she said in awe. I tilted her chin up with my index finger and pressed my lips softly to hers.

She quickly tangled her fingers in my messy bronze locks, deepening the kiss. I groaned in pleasure when she ran her tongue along my bottom lip, begging for entrance, and lifted her up to place her flat on the bed. I hovered over her, my weight supported on my forehead, and trailed kisses across her jaw and down the column of her throat. She gasped quietly and wrapped her legs around my waist, pressing her heated core to my throbbing erection. We both groaned at the contact, and I ripped my shirt over my head as Bella did the same. I pressed my lips to her collarbone, and worked my way down to her waist, stopping to kiss the gently swell of her breasts.
I slowly popped open the button of her jeans and slid down the zipper to reveal her white lace boyshorts. My cock twitched in my pants and I growled softly, nipping at the exposed flesh of her abdomen. Bella moaned and her hips bucked beneath me. I leaned back on my knees and slid off Bella's jeans and panties in one swift motion, and she took the liberty of removing her bra to expose the pert pink nipples that adorned her breasts.
I leaned over her naked body and wrapped my lips around one of the little buds and Bella reached down to unfasten my jeans. She wiggled my pants and boxers down as far as she could reach, then used her feet to push them down the rest of the way. I kicked them off onto the floor and lowered myself between Bella's legs, slipping my tongue out to tease the little bundle of nerves above her sex. She whimpered and thrusts her hips forward, and I ran my index finger along her slick folds.
"Edward...please, I need you," she whimpered, causing my rock hard dick to twitch yet again.
"What do you need, angel? Tell me what you want," I asked, my voice huskier than usual.
"I need you inside of me, Edward. I don't want to wait," she demanded. Her voice was low and seductive, and I could not have denied her if I had wanted to. I crawled up her body, my eyes locking with hers, and I positioned my tip at her entrance.
I pressed a soft kiss to her lips before thrusting into her, filling her to the hilt. We both groaned in ecstasy, and I pulled back to thrust forward again. Bella began to move her hips in time with my thrusts, and I picked up the pace, using more force each time. When Bella's cries became louder I placed my hand gently over her mouth to muffle the sound. I was panting heavily and Bella's eyes had rolled into the back of her head within minutes. She wrapped her legs around my waist to pull me deeper into her core, and I knew I was close to losing control. The coil in my stomach tightened, and I fought to hold on for just a few more minutes.
"Bella, love, I want you to come for me," I demanded. Bella whimpered and I reached down to rub her swollen clit with my thumb, and her walls instantly clamped around me, her back arching off the bed as I spilled inside of her. I collapsed in exhaustion, both of our bodies covered in a light sheen of sweat. We laid still for a few more minutes before I kissed her deeply and pulled out, rolling onto my back and pulling her up to my chest.
*******
"I love you, Bella. More than you will ever know," I murmured, running my fingers through her dark curls.
"I love you too, Edward." Her voice was barely a whisper, and I knew she was only partially awake. She wrapped her arm around me and placed a gentle kiss on my chest before we both drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
A/N: So Charlie took that pretty well, didn't he? The lovebirds have a tentative plan for how they are going to handle things, so we'll see how everything works out. The next chapter will be Bella's POV, and I'll try to update soon. Thank you so much for all the reviews btw...you guys are the best =D
