Renee's POV
Charlie and i were sitting on the couch, just talking. We had packed Charlie s bags last night. We would be leaving in just over an hour to go to the airport, so i can watch my husband fly off to war.
Charlie and i were talking about Bella when somebody knocked at the door.
Charlie stood up to answer it. Next thing i knew there was all this noise from the front room. I had such a fright. I jumped up and went to go stand by Charlie at the door. Charlie was hugging this man I ve never seen before. Then he shook his hand. By this mans side was Elizabeth, Edwards Mother and a very good friend of mine. So this must be Edward's father and Elizabeth s husband. I shook his hand and invited him and Elizabeth inside our house. We all sat down in our living room. Charlie introduced us all and told me that this was the man that he had spoken about last night. The man he served with in their unit. I remembered Charlie telling me that but it was good to put a face to the name.
All too soon Edward Senior and Elizabeth became series.
"Charlie, my friend. I have a favor to ask you."
"Ask away." My husband said.
"My son Edward is off to war today and i would truly appreciate it if you would look out for him, and protect him." Edward Senior asked almost pleaded.
Charlie looked at Edward Senior and then at Elizabeth and then at me then he nodded and said "Of course i will. I have heard many good things about him and i know my daughter will be heartbroken if anything happens to him. So i will make it my duty to protect him. He sounds like a fine young man, very decent too."
"Oh he is, he is just the gentlemen and so brave!" Elizabeth said speaking up at last.
We all spoke for a little while longer, then they left.
It was 11:20. We had a short time left.
