AN: Thank you to all my reviewers. I wasn't too sure of my last chapter when I posted it but all your kind words made me feel good about it. Hope you all like this one as much as the last one!

BELLA'S POV:

Edward, Alice and I sat in Charlie's living room. Edward and Alice were playing a game of chess while I worked on the homework that I was behind on. I had been sick for a few days so I had a lot to make up. Edward and Alice had offered to help but I insisted that since they had been through high school more then 10 times now it would be like cheating to me and I wanted to do it on my own.

As I finished my last math problem I saw Alice drop her king. I then realized that not another piece had been moved. I looked at Edward confused.

He just smiled and said "When I can read her thoughts and she can see my future moves it makes the game ALL mental."

He then gave her a kind of smug grin as she stood up and said "I'm going to go fix dinner."

I just laughed at them both as I sat back into Edward's embrace.

"You know, I when I was helping you pack up stuff from your room I noticed these." Edward said as he pulled something out of one of his textbooks.

He handed me to rectangular pieces of paper. I looked at them and realized they were the plane tickets to Florida that Carlisle and Esme had given me at my last birthday.

"You know, I realize you didn't get much good out of your birthday presents last year, but did you realize these are about to expire?" he asked me as I looked at them remembering that momentous night.

The night that Jasper had accidentally attacked me. The night that I had needed Edward's comfort in so many ways. The night that had changed my entire life.

I took a deep breath and answered in a flat voice. "No, I'd forgotten all about them actually."

His expression was carefully bright and positive. "You know, we still have time, before the baby's born. I talked to Carlisle and he said if we go this weekend you will make it back before you're deadline of not being able to travel anymore. I think you're mom would really like to see you before the baby's born."

I knew he was right. And I really wanted to see Renee, Phil, and Joshua before we welcomed Renesmee into this world. But there was one problem.

"I don't know how Charlie will react to you and me leaving the state." I finally said.

"Well, Charlie can't keep you from seeing your mother. And I think he'd be more comfortable with me going with you then you going by yourself." He said as he rubbed my pretty swollen belly.

"We'll talk to him about it later." I said as I picked up my books and put them in my bag.

Thankfully he had dropped it at that point.

I walked in and helped Alice cook dinner as Edward watched us.

We had just finished putting it together when Charlie walked in the door.

"Something smells good." he said as he took off his gun and hung up his coat.

"It's just grilled cheese and tomato soup." I say as I put the sandwiches on the table.

Dinner went rather smoothly. Charlie talked about work and we told him how school was going.

Suddenly Edward gave me this look. It was almost like he was asking for forgiveness before he even said anything.

Then he cleared his throat.

"Charlie." he said getting Charlie's attention.

"Yeah?" Charlie replied while taking another spoonful of soup.

"Did Bella ever tell you that my parents gave her airline tickets on her birthday last year so she could go see Renee?" he asked.

Charlie swallowed loudly, and then his eyes narrowed as he looked at Edward.

"No, she never mentioned it." he said.

"Well, they're about to expire and I thought Bella would like to go see Renee before Renesmee is born. But if she wants to go, we have to do it this weekend."

Charlie sat back and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Oh really, and why's that?" he asked.

"Well, if Bella waits another week she won't be able to see Renee til after Renesmee is born. She'll be past the deadline for her not being able to travel before delivery." he explained.

Charlie sat there listening before replying.

"You said 'they'?"

Edward nodded. "Yes sir."

"How many are there?" he asked.

"Two. One for her, and one for me."

"Absolutely not!" he shouted at us.

I interjected at this point.

"Dad come on, what are you so worried about?" I asked.

"I mean, it's not like I'm gonna come back pregnant." I said as a joke.

All that earned me was a glare from both him AND Edward.

"Mr. Swan, I understand that you don't trust me with Bella that much. But I would feel safer if I were to go with her then anyone else. That way if anything goes wrong with her OR the baby while she's there I'm right there with her. And since the ticket's are in mine and her name's it's not like anyone else can go with her." Edward explained.

I could tell from the look Charlie gave him, Edward was winning.

"When would you be back?" he asked.

"Sunday night. With finals coming up we can't afford to lose anytime in school." Edward said as he took a drink of his water.

Charlie let out a huge sigh and looked at me then Edward.

"If you don't have her back by Monday morning I will call the Florida sheriff to begin a search party." he said, obviously admitting defeat.

"Thank you Mr. Swan." Edward said as he stood up and started helping Alice clean up.

I reached over and hugged him.

"Thank you dad, I really appreciate this." I said.

"So, what now?" I asked after Edward, Alice and I had finished cleaning up dinner.

"Well, you and I need to go over wedding details." Alice said as she started pulling me upstairs.

"Do I get a say?" Edward asked suddenly.

"Bella, Edward, before you go upstairs I need to talk to you." We heard Charlie call from the living room.

"I'll go get started." Alice said as she let go of my hand.

I took Edward's hand as we walked into the living room.

"What's up dad?" I asked.

"Sit down a sec." he said.

We sat on the couch as he turned off the TV.

"I just wanted to set up some rules for you two while you're in Florida." he said sitting forward.

"Dad-" I tried to say something.

"Bella, I'm your parent. I need to do this and you know it." he said with a serious look on his face.

I just sat back at that and let him go.

"First of all, you two WILL be sleeping in different rooms while down there. Second, if ANYTHING comes up with you or the baby, you will call me immediately." He looked at Edward when he said this.

Edward simply nodded to say he understood.

"And third, Edward, you are to keep them both as safe as you possibly can. I am trusting you with my daughter and my granddaughter's lives this weekend. If you fail me with either of them, you will never be welcomed by me again. Do you understand?" he finished giving Edward a very serious look.

"I understand Mr. Swan and I will respect each one of your rules the whole time we are gone." he replied.

With that Charlie nodded, sat back, and turned the game back on, clearly signaling we could leave now.

We headed upstairs to find Alice had some magazines sprawled all over my bed.

"OK, Bella let's get started." Alice said.

"Actually Alice, since we're leaving tomorrow after school I need to spend this evening packing." I said as I tried to find my suitcase in the bottom of my almost empty closet.

Suddenly Edward came over and grabbed it off of the top shelf and handed it to me with an almost sympathetic smile on his face.

"Well, Bella, we need to start planning your wedding soon. I mean you haven't even set a date yet!" Alice wined.

"Actually I've been thinking about it and what do you think about August 13th?" I asked turning to Edward.

"August 13th? Don't you think that's cutting it really close?" he asked.

"Well, yeah, but I know Alice can totally pull this off in time. And I don't want to be another year older than you." I said looking at Alice with a smile.

She lit up like a Christmas tree. She then jumped up and gave me a huge hug.

"Oh, Bella, I promise I'll make it a day you'll never forget!" She said with a huge smile.

Edward just smiled at her and then hugged me.

"Well, if that's what you want, I trust Alice to get it all done in time." He said.

Alice then spent the rest of the evening helping me pack while Edward went home to pack his bag as well.

When we were done Alice took my bag downstairs and put it by the door.

I had insisted I could carry it by myself but according to her: "I wasn't going to put the safety of my niece at risk by letting you carry something that may be too heavy."

Edward then came by about 20 minutes later with his bag and left it by the door. Since we were leaving right after school and he was picking me up FOR school it only made sense.

After we had watched the game with Charlie, Edward and Alice had to leave for the evening.

I walked with them out onto the porch.

"So are you coming back tonight?" I asked him.

"No, I need to hunt for the weekend. I don't want to have some sort of accident while visiting your mom." he said taking me into a hug.

"OK, so I'll see you in the morning then." I said feeling Renesmee kick really hard.

I smiled and looked down at my swollen belly.

"Excuse me, WE'LL see you in the morning." I said while Edward placed his hand on my stomach.

We both laughed before sharing a very intimate kiss.

"I promise I'll be here in time to pick you up from school." he said.

Suddenly I felt another kick.

"I'm sorry, I'll be here in time to pick you TWO up from school." he said before leaning down and kissing my stomach.

"I love you." he said before giving me one more kiss.

"I love you too. Be safe and I'll see you tomorrow." I say embracing him.

With that he walked down, got in his car where Alice was waiting, and drove away.

I went back in to find Charlie looking in the fridge for a snack.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple off of the counter.

"So are you going to have Alice come over to cook this weekend?" I asked taking a bite of the apple.

"No, I think I'll give her the weekend off and go to the diner." he said with a smile.

We both knew Alice didn't have to come cook every night, she just enjoyed it.

"OK dad, I'm going to bed. Good night." I said as he walked back into the living room with a bag of chips and a beer.

"Good night darling." he said as I walked upstairs.

I crawled into bed and plugged in my phone to charge.

I had just about fallen asleep when I got a text.

'I miss you already. I love you two. Sleep well and I'll see you in the morning.'

So I texted him back.

'We miss you too. We love you too. I will and I know. :)'

With that I closed my phone, scooted down in my bed, grabbed my body pillow, and closed my eyes for another wonderful night of dreams about Edward and Renesmee.

SOOOOOOO...What do you thinnnk? Push that button and lemme know. Love you all!
