Chapter 8 Telling the Parents

BPOV

I woke up the next morning, warm, with Edward's arms around me. "Morning, love." he greeted me, and I wrapped my arms around his stole waist. "Morning, Edward." I smiled, my voice still full of sleep. He sat up, and I realized he was only wearing some blue jeans that he had worn yesterday.

I looked at his body, and I couldn't stop myself and I pulled in valiantly and kissed him. He kissed me back, rolled over, so he was laying on top me, but he was careful to hold himself up, not putting any of his weight on me. His arms were wrapped tight around me, pulling my body closer to his, while he kissed me, I had to breath through my nose not to pass out.

His lips were a little different, he was considering something, to let it be with this, or keep going. Suddenly he pulled away, as always; TOO SOON!

"Come on, Bella. It's under two weeks until we're going to get married, can't we just wait a little longer?" he asked, looking at me with this puppy eyes, and how could I resist.

"Okay, fine!" I said, I didn't sound happy about it. That was my plan.

"Thank you, love." he said, standing up. "You should get dressed, we're going to make the invitations today." he told me, and I stood up as well.

"There are clothes for you in the bathroom." he smiled at me and stood in the doorway, waiting for me. I half ran to his side, luckily not tripping.

He walked me to the bathroom and kissed my forehead before he went down stairs. I got in the shower, washed my hair and body, and stood a few extra minutes so I would feel warmer. When I was dry, I put on the clothes that were lying ready for me on the toilet seat.

I didn't even look at it, but I trusted Alice that much that I knew she wouldn't make a fool out of me.

For once I actually blew my hair dry and walked out of the bathroom.

"How are you feeling today, Bella?" Carlisle asked me, smiling at me as I walked into the living room. "Much better, Carlisle. Thanks for asking." I smiled back at him and looked for Edward. "Where is he?" I asked, looking at Carlisle, I didn't need to say the name, he knew who I meant.

"He's in the kitchen, with Esme and Alice." he explained and laughed quietly at me.

I chuckled and walked into the kitchen, and as Carlisle had said, there Edward, Esme and Alice were hanging over the kitchen table.

"Hey, Bella!" Alice greeted me, without looking at me, "Hungry?" Esme asked me, she didn't look at me either. "What are you guys looking at?" I asked, ignoring Esme question. "The list of the people we know, hon." Edward said, and turned to me. "Hungry?" he asked me and walked over to the other side of the table.

It stood a plate with some bread and eggs, and a glass of water next to it. "Yes, I am." I answered and sat down on the chair he held out for me. "Okay, lets start with the people we know." Alice started and I knew when she said 'we' she meant her family.

"Tanya's?" she asked Edward and he looked down at the floor, "Guess we have to, or else they'll be offended." "If its okay with you guys, I don't really want a huge wedding. Like I said, Edward's friends and family, my friends and family is all I want." I said, looking down at my food, while eating it.

"I agree." Edward said, with a smile in his voice, and I could see from the corner of my eye that Esme didn't mind either. "Maybe then, we could have the party in here. The house is big enough, we just put a long table from here and to the living room." she suggested.

"Yes, that will save us some money." Carlisle said, smiling, as he walked into the kitchen with Jasper. Jasper greeted me with a nod and walked over to Alice. "What about the Voltorri?" Carlisle suddenly asked and my head shoot up.

"I don't know, but they are close friends of you, aren't they?" Edward asked, looking at Carlisle as he spoke. "Yes, maybe they'll be offended if we don't invite them..." I said, quietly. "I think they will, but no. It's out of the question." Carlisle said and I couldn't help not to ask, "Why not?"

"Do you love your family and friends, Bella?" Emmett asked me, walking into the room, with Rosalie after him, holding his hand. "Yes..." I answered, looking at all of their faces. "That's why, the Voltorri vampires drink human blood, Bella." Carlisle explained to me.

"Oh, alright." I said, and continued eating my breakfast until there was nothing left. "Bella?" Edward started and I looked up at him. "We should tell Charlie..." it was a good thing I was done eating, or else I would probably have chocked on something if I wasn't.

"You're right." Esme agreed and Carlisle backed her up, "He deserves to know before he gets an invitation in the mailbox." and I nodded and stood up. Edward came with a jacket and I put it on, I could smell it was one of his, and I smiled. "Ready?" he asked and I smiled at him, "No." I answered shortly. He understood that I was joking.

We walked out to his silver Volvo and he opened the door for me. I got in and he closed my door and was at my side in a less than a second. I stared out the window while we drove to my house, a lot slower than Edward usually drives.

"Are you ready for this?" he asked me, pulling me out of my thoughts. "I have to be, and it's better if we tell him now, than wait until he gets the invitation, along with my mother." I said, leaning forward, resting my elbows on my thighs, looking at Edward.

"Just relax, and I'll do most of the talking." he blinked at me, with the crooked smile. I tried to smile back, as well as I could, but it didn't work out so well. I blew out air loudly and leaned back on the car seat closing my eyes.

"We're here." he said after a minute or so. I opened my eyes, and Edward was already at my side, opening the door. "Thanks." I smiled at him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back and we walked towards the front door. Charlie got there before we did. "BELLA!" he yelled as he opened the door. "Yes, dad?" I asked, worry in my voice. "Where have you been?" he asked, almost angry.

"I told you I was going to be at Edward's house – oh, right... I said only for one day." I suddenly remembered and looked at Charlie with an apologizing expression. "Charlie, there is something we wanted to tell you." Edward started, before Charlie opened his mouth again. And we stepped into the house.

Charlie sat down at one of the kitchen chairs, we sat down as well. I noticed Charlie's gun belt was hanging on his chair. "What is it that you wanted to tell me, Edward?" my father asked, and Edward took my hand under the table. "We got good news, actually." Edward continued. Charlie's expression looked like his eyes were going to pop out of his head. "What?" he said, voice worried.

"Dad, it's really very good news." I said, reaching out with my other hand, towards his that were lying on the table. "Oh my god! You're pregnant, aren't you?"(Sorry, but it wasn't so easy, so I found my escape in Breaking Dawn.) he yelled out and Edward dropped my hand, and stood up. Charlie reached for his gun, before I could say anything else. I heard a gunshot and I heard a window break.

It all happened and I realized I had closed my eyes, holding my arms across my chest, protectively. "Bella, are you okay?" I heard Edward's soft voice, close to my ear. I opened my eyes again and I looked deeply into Edward's eyes. "How's Charlie?" I said, my voice only a whisper. "He's in shock, don't worry, Carlisle is here, taking care of him." he assured me. When the hell had Carlisle gotten here? Had I passed out?

"What happened?" I asked, looking around. I was sitting on the floor, I saw Edward had a bullet hole on his shirt, right where his heart was, I saw some broken class under the back door, which had a little window on it. "Charlie shot me, and the bullet went through the window of the back door. Somewhere in the middle of it, you fainted." Edward said to me, helping me up.

"We have to tell him now, don't we? Tell him what you are?" I was unaware of what had been going on for at least ten minutes.

Carlisle came walking into the kitchen, with Charlie besides him.

"Are you okay, kiddo?" he asked me and I nodded 'yes'.

"What do you know, dad. Has anyone told you anything about what happened?" I asked him after a short while.

"You're boyfriend is a vampire, along with the rest of his family. But they feed of animal blood, so they're not danger to us." he answered quickly.

I heard he still used the word 'boyfriend', so nobody had told him anything about the news.

"Have you told your mother about this?" he asked me, and I lost my train of thought.

"No, and you can't tell her either. You know what will happen, she'll have a heart attack!"

I almost yelled at him in panic. "Don't worry, I got no plans of telling her, and if we are. Ever. You'll tell her." I saw a little smile on his face as he said that.

"So what was it that you wanted to tell me in the first place?" he suddenly asked me. Damn it! My eyes flicked to Edward, and he took his place next to me, talking my hand. The gun wasn't anywhere near Charlie now.

"As my old fashion self, I would have asked for your permission, but because the surroundings are a little different I've already asked Bella, and since she has agreed, I-we came here to ask for your blessings." Edward said, his voice soft as butter and sweet as honey.

"Sorry if this question is offending in any way, but I have to ask. Why, why do you want to marry my daughter in such an early stage of age?" my father asked, his eyes flickered from me to Edward.

"Because I love your daughter, Mr. Swan. I love her with all of my heart, she's my life, my everything. There isn't a day on earth I wouldn't be with her... I love her too much, to much to stay way, too much to be described in words." Edward explained and I just wanted to hug him.

"Are you crying, dad?" I asked, and I could hear in my voice, I was crying as well. I wiped away the tears, so did Charlie. I walked over to him, before he could say something I wrapped my arms around his neck. "So what do you say, dad?" "You have my blessings, kids, as long as you're not pregnant." my eyes wide and we both pulled away to look at each other.

"Are you crazy, no! Edward won't even let me closer than-" I cut myself of and turned to Edward. He and Carlisle were both pressing their lips together, not to laugh.

"Do you want to come to our house to night Charlie? Eat dinner together with us." Carlisle asked and my eyes widened. "Dinner, I thought you guys didn't eat, you know, food." Charlie said in wonder. (They are tricking him, think vampires can eat human food and enjoy it. No worries, it's only dinner.) "Well, we can." Edward explained and winked at me, Charlie didn't notice.

"And by the way, Bella. You should call your mom, tell her the news." he smiled at me, with an evil smile. I wanted to lie down under the table and stay there, instead, I walked over to the phone and dialed my mother's phone number.

"Hello?" she answered at the second ring. "Hey, mom. It's Bella." I started out, my voice sounded a little strange. "Oh, honey. How have you been, sweetie?" she asked me, I turned around, looking at Edward as I spoke. "Great, really. What about you?" I tried to keep the conversation going. "I'm good, honey is everything okay? You sound a little strange." she confronted me.

"Well, mom. There is something I want to tell you." I swallowed. "And what's that, hon?" she wanted to know, and I said it. "Me and Edward are going to get married." There, it was hard, but I did it. "That's.." my mother started on a new sentience.
