A.N.: I am at a loss. Pretty much nobody reviewed, which made me sad. Thank you "Sally," for reviewing. Ok, well, here's chapter three!

Bella P.O.V

Edward and I, and the rest of the Cullens for that matter, celebrated in the meadow for another hour or so, and then, Edward and I got into his Volvo, and got ready to tell Charlie our big news. The drive to my house was a little scary, Edward was driving slowly, as if Edward was afraid that when Charlie found out, he might die. Inevitably though, we pulled up to Charlie's driveway, and with my luck, there was the Chief's Cruiser, sitting there, laughing at me.

"Are you ready?" Edward asked me, his tone light.

"Not at all, let's go." I remembered saying something remotely similar the first time I'd met his family. I smiled at the memory. Edward, as always, was much faster than I was, he was out of his seat, opening my door for me before I could even get my seatbelt undone.

"Why do you always do that?" I whined.

"Do what?" I smiled at him, and we walked to the house.

Charlie was sitting in the kitchen reading the newspaper when we walked in.

"Hey Dad!" I smiled, though I felt like I might throw up.

" Hey Bells, Edward." Charlie was being nicer to Edward, which was good, it was almost like they were starting to like each other.

"Hey Charlie." Edward's voice still mesmerized me, but because Charlie wasn't destined to be in love with Edward, like I was, his voice wasn't as strong on my innocent father.

"Dad," I started, oh dear, I really was going to puke "Edward and I need to talk to you."

"Sure Bells, what's up?" He sounded worried already, never a good sign.

"Well, I don't really know how to say this, but, Edward and I…"

"What? Bella, just spit it out! What's going on?" I looked at Edward, he nodded once.

"Well Charlie, Bella and I are getting married in August." I heard Charlie's sharp intake of breath.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes Dad, really. Are you angry?" I didn't want him to be angry, excited would be good.

"Oh, well, how far along are you Bella?" I had absolutely no idea what in God's name he was talking about. I answered his question with a look of confusion.



"I assumed you two were getting married because you're, ya know, pregnant, isn't that why Bella?" I actually laughed. This was definitely the worst time in my life to laugh, but of course, it's exactly what I did.

"Dad, remember the conversation we had a while back? The one where you tried to give me the sex talk?" He nodded, not meeting my eyes. "Remember that I told you I was a virgin, and had no immediate plans to change that?" He nodded again, his eyes still on the table. "I was true to my word Dad." He looked up at me relieved, but then his eyes flashed with a sudden epiphany.

"If you two aren't having a baby, why are you getting married?" This time, he looked up, not at me, but at Edward. Looked wasn't the right word, he was glaring.

"Well Charlie," Edward started carefully, his face no longer composed, "Bella and I love each other."

"Oh, well in that case, let's have a freaking wedding!" Charlie said sarcastically. Then he turned back to me "Bella, is this what you want?"

"More than anything." Charlie sighed, admitting defeat. The saying, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" came to mind.

"Then I approve, not that you asked my opinion, but I'm giving my blessing, if you weren't asking for that, I'll be there to walk you down the aisle at least." He smiled, it touched his eyes, and once again I saw the man my mother ran away with and married.

"Thanks Dad, that means a lot. Well, Edward and I have to go tell his parents. I'll be home later."

"Did you tell your mom yet?"

"Uhh…no."

"Renee is going to flip, you have to do it gently."

"I know Dad, thank you." I hugged him goodbye, and Edward shook his hand, and we left.

"So, Edward, is he really happy we're getting married?"

"Strangely enough…yes."

Edward and I got in the car, not to go to his parents house, but to go to Jake's, the treaty had been changed, the Cullens were more than allowed in La Push, and Jake was Ok with Edward and I as a couple, he was still jealous, but I was Ok with that for now.
