Summary: Alice and Jasper have taken Emmett and Edward to Alaska on a hunting trip. Bella hasn't gone to the Cullen house in a few days, but suddenly, she urgently needs to speak to one of them. But what about? (Includes mature themes! warning!)

This is a short story, probably around 10-15 chapters depending on how fast or slow the story goes, etc. It includes dark theme's so please don't read unless you can handle this...

READ: I'd like to clear it up; Edward and Bella are together, but this story is Carlisle/Bella because it's a father/daughter bonding story. Sorry for the confusion. Further chapters will show the bonding.

Bella's POV

The following weeks past by slowly and consisted of many therapy sessions between Carlisle and I. They did seem to be working, and I was feeling a lot better in myself.

Charlie had been extremely busy, working hand and foot to get something done about Jacob. Without my help, there wasn't much he could do and Jacob was released 2 weeks later. However, the Cullen's apparently weren't going to leave it unattended.

One night, when Rose and Alice were painting my nails a bright pink color (eesh), Emmett, Jasper and Edward had left the house abruptly. They'd expected me not to notice, but I had. I was observant enough to know they were up to something. They wouldn't normally leave the house without informing me or someone else on where they were going. Especially Emmett. He just loved to brag.

I had become very annoyed when Rose and Alice ignored my constant questions so I went off in search for Esme instead. She wasn't anymore helpful than Alice and Rose. She was cleaning in the kitchen – just so she could have something to do – and just told me that they had "business to attend too." It was frustrating to say the least.

The rest of that night, I sat there on the couch staring out of the huge downstairs window, a thousand emotions flickering through my body. Anger at my boyfriend for leaving without letting me know, concern for my brothers, curiosity. It was all too much to handle.

About 4 hours after they left, my panic had sunk in. I'd run to Carlisle's office, shaking and crying. He'd taken me in his arms and soothed me gently before asking me what was wrong. Completely comfortable with my father's presence, I poured my soul out to him – informing him on the fear I had that Edward had left me.

Of course Edward hadn't left me, Carlisle had informed me. He'd asked me what on earth would ever give me that thought and I had passed over the news that the 3 Cullen boys had left without a word. He was just as curious and confused as I was.

Late that next morning, Carlisle and I found out what we wanted to know.

Emmett, Edward and Jasper came clambering into the house making the loudest noise imaginable, the 3 of them hooting and clapping each other on the back.

I had stood in the hallway; my arms crossed tightly across my chest, and had demanded an answer out of them.

They'd been in the forest all night, they'd told me. They'd "dealt" with Jacob and the very few members of the pack who had risked the treaty to come and "save" their mate.

Apparently the 3 of them had traipsed out into the wood to meet up with Jacob, who Edward had figured out in his mind was on his way to the house to speak with me. Edward didn't want the "bloody mutt" anywhere near me and so had taken matters into his own hands. They'd met up with Jacob in the woods before he could get any further, and took him on in a fight. Somehow, thanks to Alice's help, they'd gotten a werewolf-proof cage camouflaged in the woods where they cornered Jacob into and then went on to torture him. When the rest of the pack members came, Emmett and Jasper herded them into the cage at the same time and had let them watch Jacob suffer.

I was absolutely appalled by their behavior – not liking when anyone got injured – and almost hit Edward across the chest. He'd stopped me of course, pulling me to his chest and telling me to calm down – they hadn't hurt Jacob too much, he was alive.

Once I'd calmed down and found out that Jacob and the pack were fine and that Jacob had ran away from Forks, I was feeling relieved and content. I knew for sure now that Jacob wouldn't come back and hurt me because of the threat he'd had. I'd told Emmett firmly that I did not want to know what type of torture they had given to Jacob. That was just too much.

"Bella?" Carlisle called from the staircase.

I looked up at him and he gestured with his finger that he wanted to see me in his office. I climbed out of Edward's lap, gave him a quick kiss to the lips, and then followed Carlisle into his office. I sat down in one of the huge, comfy chairs before he even offered. "Is everything alright?"

He nodded, shifting through the papers on his desk. "Yes, everything is fine, thank you. And with you?" He looked up at me.

I nodded. "I'm fine too."

"I brought you up here to talk to you about what happened in Phoenix," He lifted a hand to stop me from interrupting. "I phoned your mother back and discussed with her what happened and that this was the reason for your behavior. She did ask if you were okay, and I informed her you were. She went to the parents of these kids and found out that they have all got a criminal record for at least something, and the one is already on trial in court. I thought I would inform you on this to give you a sort of closure. They won't ever hurt you again, Bella. They are getting dealt with in Phoenix after bullying another girl who ended up in hospital. It's going to be okay."

I nodded, the fear deep inside me finally leaving. "Thank you. I needed to hear that…I'm just glad something is being done to sort it out and I hope no one else in Phoenix gets hurt by them."

He smiled at me warmly and came around to give me hug. "I've seen real progress in you Bella, and our family and I are so proud of you. Alice and Rosalie have given feedback to me that your confidence has grown?" I nodded. "And that you are accepting compliments rather than rejecting them?" I nodded again and he smiled. "That's lovely to hear. It's like music to my ears."

I grinned and gave him a big hug. "Thank you for everything you've done. If it wasn't for you and Rose and Edward…and everyone…I wouldn't be sat here right now. I'd probably be rocking back and forth in my bedroom crying and barely holding on. You've let those demons out of my head and body…I just…I don't know how to thank you..."

"You don't owe me anything," He murmured as he stroked my hair softly. "It's what any daddy would do for his little pumpkin."

"I guess so." I mumbled, grateful I had a wonderful family and 2 dads in my life.

"Hey!" Emmett called from downstairs. "You two slobber-bums up there better hurry up! The amusement park doesn't wait for everyone!"

"Actually Em, it does." I told him as Carlisle and I made our way down the staircase. "The amusement park doesn't shut for like 9 more hours…"

"Then let's hurry up!" He said happily, grabbing me and lifting us both of the ground as he bounced with excitement. He set me down and dived down the front steps to the car.

Edward pulled me close to his side and placed a gentle kiss to my forehead. "I'm so proud of you," He murmured. "You are so strong. Not many people can say they survived from as much as you've been through."

"Yeah, yeah," I grumbled, my cheeks flushing with embarrassed. "Just get in the car."

He laughed – a bell-like laugh – and joined his siblings in the car.

It took us about 3 and a half hours to get to Wild Waves Theme Park in Federal Way but when we did get there, everyone's excitement was still running high.

Emmett, Edward and Alice went straight for the Slide Alley which didn't seem to surprise any of us. Rose, Jasper and Esme seemed to prefer the 'land rides' as Jasper had put it, so they headed off to Old West Territory. That left Carlisle and I to tackle what we wanted. I was grateful to have this wonderful bonding time with my vampire dad.

"What do you want to do, sweetie?" He said, gazing around at the park. "I'm sure you have much more experience than I do."

I laughed and pointed towards the left. "I want to go to Pirates Cove."

He frowned a little. "With water?"

"Yup." I turned to look at him. "Are you scared?"

He raised his eyebrows up at me in disbelief. "Of course not! I swam the English Channel, you know..." He trailed off.

"I know, Dad, I know."

He dragged me happily to the Pirates Cove and thankfully enough, the queue was rather short. It took us about 15 minutes before we got onto the slides, and we went down straight behind each other – me screaming in pure glee.

I truly did love my family…especially my daddy.
