Protective Sister

(BPOV)

It was the middle of July and we were having a 'normal' family dinner. Yeah in a house of vampires one wouldn't think about that very much. After some testing we learned that Elizabeth's two powers were very combined and useful for our family. With a touch of her hand over your heart it starts to beat slightly to give a vampire human traits. More importantly coming with that little bit of humanity came Emmett's favorite ability eating human food. I felt very thankful that my little child was so special and gifted. Edward loved her more than I would have ever imagined he would.

Even more special was that my little three month old baby looked about a year old. She has grown so much in the past couple of months. Alice, Esme and Rosalie keep her dressed up for different photos. Yeah they change her clothes four or five times a day to get several photos to make it look like a years worth in the little time she's been alive. I was surprised that it was Jasper who actually came up with the idea only to have Alice squeal with delight at the thought.

"Edward what are your and Bella's plans for the fall" Charlie asked as Sam passed him the salad.

"Dad I have decided that the Cullen's should only have to deal with one newborn at a time, so I decided to go with Edward to Dartmouth for a year" I said looking caringly at Edward.

"It's only to help the family out. Bella wants to have this human experience under her belt. So we thought if you would like to be changed first Charlie that would be fine with us" Edward said as he kissed my forehead. Alice laughed and smiled.

"Oh Charlie you are going to be so handsome. You'll also have an amazing power. Oh this is going to be so fun" Alice said with glee in her voice.

"I think she already has plans made out for you Charlie" Billy said as he nudged Charlie. I laughed as we all looked at each other. More importantly I laughed because who would have ever thought vampires would be having a human dinner with werewolves. One would think they would eat their guests not invite them over for dinner. It was a funny thought because even Alice gave a little giggle over the thought. Most of the people at the dinner table turned to look at her.

"What Bella was thinking something funny? Is it a crime for a vampire to laugh" she asked with a smile which made several of the La Push boys to laugh. I just had to think about what was going to happen the next few years with Elizabeth growing or should I say maturing at a fast pace.

"So Charlie have you tied up all of your lose ends" questioned Sam looking right at Billy.

"I have talked to everyone that was a part of my life and said 'good-bye' to them. I have also put the old Swan house up for rent. I think Angela and Jessica were going to rent it out while they go to college" I heard my dad say as he snuggled with Elizabeth. I watched for the next hour or longer as my two families merged together to eat and then play some Wii. Of course it was Emmett against Jacob and Embry. I sat on one of the couches holding my little girl closer as my family went about making plans for my dad's change, our next year at college, and moving my family. Edward was leaving in the next few days with Jasper, Jacob and Emmett to set up the house the family own neared Dartmouth. I would be staying behind with the ladies packing up things I wouldn't be able to live without.

"Bella are you ready to move on with your life" Billy said as he came to sit beside of me. I looked around at my family.

"I am glad that I am waiting another year, but 'yes' I am ready for this. I love this family and all of you. I am glad that I came to live in Forks, but with some unbearable times were also added into my adventures that I enjoyed. Billy I am thankful that you tried to warn me of the Cullen's, but I was pulled into this world without the chance of being able to get out" I said as I smiled toward him.

"It really did seem that fate had been against you at that very moment. I am glad though that you have found some happiness. Your little girl is a blessing to you, but also to the Cullen's. I guess allowing her life to be spared by the higher vampires proved to be an excellent gift for this family" he said with encouragement in his voice. I looked at him with joy in my heart. He was willingly giving his blessing to me and the Cullen's with his words.

"Billy do you think our families can really get along once the changes happen" I asked quietly. He smiled and gave me a strong hug while kissing the top of Elizabeth's head.

"I really think that our families will be very close together very soon. Bella you and Charlie will always be part of my family no matter if human or vampire. I have come to look to you as a daughter. Charlie is almost like a brother to me I would never let anything bad happen to hurt him. I can see how you both trust the Cullen's. I have talked with the elders in the tribe and they believe that our people can trust them just as you have. I think the best thing for all of us was you coming here to be with your dad. That event has brought enemies together like a family, and our tribe is thankful for you for having the courage to do something different, out of the ordinary. We will be safe from any attacks from nomads because of you. I love you for that" he continued as he pushed away from me and my daughter.

After that little talk with Billy I felt better about the joining of all of our lives. Not only had I made a family of my own, found true love, joined enemies together, but more importantly I was able to finally get to know Charlie my dad. I had been able to just spend small amounts of time with him during breaks in my life, but these past two years I have forged a strong bond with him that will last for an eternity. Edward was going to change my dad today, I was a little nervous about the whole ordeal, but was thankful that my dad had chosen to have his son change him instead of Carlisle. My dad wanted his special girls in the room with him to share this moment with him. Carlisle was allowed in the room only to help if Edward needed it.

I was a little sad that he would have to suffer, but was happy he would be sharing his lifetime with me and his new family. I sat on the edge of the bed with Elizabeth and watched as Edward bit my father in the neck, both his wrist and then his ankles. As soon as Edward had done his part of the job I handed Elizabeth over to him and laid down beside my father. I wanted to be able to ease some of his pain by my presence.

(EPOV)

I had just finished biting my loves father in the major spots that would spread the venom faster. After I was done with my job Bella passed Elizabeth off to me and laid down beside of Charlie. She held his hand as he whimpered and cried. I felt horrible to have to watch Bella suffer through this ordeal, but she made her choice and so did Charlie. He was a brave father to endure this monstrous torture just to look out for his little girl. I knew that was his whole reason for becoming one of us, but also because he wasn't ready to let her fully go.

It has been thirty hours since I bit Charlie. He screamed for the first day or so on and off, it hurt Bella to see him hurting. Yet she was brave and strong to stay right beside of him. Carlisle wasn't sure if it was the best idea to have her or Elizabeth in the room as the third day began to end.

"Edward he has about two hours left. I think it would be wise to have the girls leave for now" Carlisle called into the room as he passed by. Bella turned and looked at me.

"Bella it's only to make sure your safe. Charlie will be a newborn" I said looking into her deep chocolate eyes.

"I know that Edward. I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to miss any of the process" she said as she picked up Elizabeth off of the chair she was sitting in. Quickly gave me a kiss and then took off out of the room. Alice and Jasper entered just as soon as she left. I had to laugh at their timing.

"Edward you don't have to stay, we can take care of Charlie so you can spend more time with Elizabeth and Bella" Jasper whispered as I watched my pixie sister begin to set out clothes to change Charlie into. I left the room to allow them to change him. I set out to find my wife and baby. I walked downstairs to find Bella sitting next to Rose who had Elizabeth playing with her hair. That was amusing because Rose never let anyone play with her hair, but now a days I think Rose has become soft with having her around.

I noticed Carlisle and Esme go upstairs so I knew it was almost time for Charlie to wake up in a sense. Bella looked up at me and gave a weak smile. So I sat down beside her while the rest of the family went up to Charlie. I could hear their thoughts as he woke.

Wow he really is beautiful-Esme

I knew he would like that outfit on him-Alice

He has so many different emotions going on. Yet he is so controlled.-Jasper

Look at those eyes. Elizabeth hasn't even touched him.-Carlisle

I sure hope he doesn't hurt one of us.-Rosalie

Dude this is freaking amazing. He looks very strong.-Emmett

Then the foul smell of wet dog came into my nose. I hated when those mutt's decided that they would just show up. I was still weary of Jacob. I wasn't sure that I could trust him just yet.

"Hey Edward Bella" Sam called out as he came into the house. I nodded to let him know I heard him.

"So Sam what are you guys over this far for" Bella asked as she stood up.

"We thought we'd come bye to see how Charlie is doing?" Jacob replied as he looked over at the stairs. Charlie was being led down with Emmett Jasper in front and Carlisle in back. I laughed at the whole mob. Bella looked up just as Charlie jumped over the guys and lunged for her and our baby. My eyes just stared as he did this. My unbeatable heart skipped as I watched him grab my family.
