Chapter 22
(Don't own anything but Michaela and Connor) Leave your love R&R (Slight sexiness)
Bellapov
I listen to my father's heartbeat and fear he's going to have a heart attack. He stares amongst us all not blinking. I look to Carlisle wondering if he should take extra precautions. Carlisle simply nods at me as he takes Esme's hand. After what seems like forever my father clears his throat but continues to look to the floor.
"So let me get this straight. Edward Cullen your first real boyfriend was a vampire? This one stepped in replacing him…"
"Dad that's not how it went…"
"Just let me finish Bells."
"This one here rather took his place so to speak. I send my daughter to Italy as a vacation with this one here and she comes back knocked up and nonetheless with twins that somehow seemed to be born in the manner of just a couple months or so? Not only that but now my daughter is also a vampire?"
"That about sums it up." Emmett says and I elbow the hell out of him and I know this time it actually hurt.
"What am I supposed to do with all this Bells?" He finally looks me in the eyes.
"There is nothing you can do. The only other way around this dad is if you never knew. Once Em and I discussed this we wanted a way to try to keep you in the loop. So we could continue to see each other and so you can see your grandchildren dad."
"Grandchildren huh? Aren't I a bit too young for that?"
Carlisle clears his throat and breaks the mood a bit.
"Aren't I?"
Emmett has a good laugh at this. Charlie raises his brows and shakes his head.
"Of course you realize this is something you can never tell anyone dad." I remind.
"I rather figured that much and who the hell would believe me?"
Charlie sighs.
"Damn it kid ever thought about trying a normal life?"
"Not even a little." I grin taking Emmett's hand.
"You're going to be the death of me Bells."
Charlie looks around but continues to shake his head.
"So when do I get to meet the kiddos?"
I smile on this and Emmett and I rise.
"You really want to meet them?"
He shrugs.
"Well yeah."
Emmett and I head up the stairs and gather Connor and Michaela. We make our way down and Charlie's heart picks up pace yet again and I smile as he looks upon them.
"Well I'll be damned."
He stares upon them in disbelief.
"They've got to be the darnest cutest things I've ever seen."
Charlie runs his hands through his hair.
"May I hold one of them?"
I look to Carlisle rather alarmed more afraid of my own children hurting my father than the other way around. Carlisle winks and nods I swallow back and hand Connor to Charlie.
"He's got your eyes Bells." Charlie says as he holds him and looks upon him.
"What are their names?"
"Connor Trey McCarty and Michaela Renee' McCarty."
I notice the change of pace as he hears our daughter's name.
"That's really pretty Bells hun."
I notice my father looks like he wants to tear up as he hands Connor back then takes Michaela.
"I don't know about all this vampire stuff apparently but I do know you both make some beautiful children."
Emmett smiles.
"Thank you sir."
Charlie clears his throat but I take notice of him rocking our daughter.
"So you've done damn near everything but marry my daughter?" He looks to Emmett and Emmett nervously scratches the back of his neck.
I can't control my laughter on this.
"Dad we plan to marry soon we're just having to deal with other issues on hand first."
"Such as?"
"Just worry about this for now dad that's all that matters."
"Are you in some sort of trouble Bella?"
I swallow on this. I break into a smile.
"Of course not dad."
Charlie sighs looking around and handing Michaela back to me.
"So…"
"So?"
"Well how do you decide like you know what to eat?"
Jasper laughs whilst holding Alice's hand.
"My family has a special diet Mr. Swan we only feed from animals."
"Special diet is that what we call it?"
Carlisle nods.
"This is unreal." Charlie shakes his head and sits back upon the couch.
I sit next to my father and take his hand.
"I know dad and I'm sorry but this is who I am now."
"Gee Bells couldn't have you just told me you were like gay or something."
My jaw drops and Emmett and Jasper die laughing. I smile on this shaking my head.
"Well do you want me to? I still can if you want."
Everyone including Charlie laughs this time.
"Nah, I think I'm good with what I got now kiddo."
"Well ok then."
"Your hand is freezing."
I forgot about that.
"Sorry." I say and pull it back.
"Vampire thing?"
I nod.
"Are you going to be ok dad?"
He nods.
"I suppose so. Just checking though I'm going to wake up tomorrow and this was all real right?"
"Fraid so dad."
"That's what I figured."
"I really am sorry dad. It's just…"
"Bells hun you don't have to explain anything else. Let's just keep it like this do what you got to do. I might not agree with all this but that's not what matters. What matters is that you are happy, alive and safe. The only other thing I asks is to let me be a part of your life I don't care how but put me in there somewhere and I'll play along with whatever you need me to do or believe even. I'd take all this over losing you forever."
That human knot forms and I know no matter how many years I'm a vampire my feelings about my father will never change. He'll always be Charlie Swan one of the best dad's anyone could have.
"I love you dad."
"I love you too kiddo. Just let me know what I can do to help and don't become a stranger and I want to see those babies."
I walk my father out and he turns before entering his car.
"Another vampire thing?" He says moving a strand of hair from my face as the sun glistens along my face. I nod.
"Hmmm. Take care kiddo."
"You too dad."
I watch as my father drives away and Emmett wraps his arms around me. I turn around and wrap my arms around his neck. He kisses my neck and holds me.
Emmettpov
I knew this would be hard on her and Charlie but I just couldn't stand the thought of him not being in her life. I didn't want her picking me meaning that she had to disregard everything else. I wanted Bella to still have a life and to be happy. I think on this as I hold her. Wanting to distract her from the pain I run my hands along her rear then I whisper…
"You still owe me a wrestling match."
I take her hand and lead her over to where we used to spar. I place my arm out on a bolder egging her on. She laughs shaking her head.
"What are you chicken?"
She bites her lower lip and folds her arms looking to me mischievously.
"Actually I was just thinking about how sore your tongue will be." She hints and it took everything in my not to bust out of my jeans.
"Nah we know what the outcome of this truly will be, time to start practicing Bella."
Her jaw drops.
"That's a good start."
"EMMETT!"
I laugh and wiggle my fingers about.
"Still waiting."
"You're on."
I see that determined look in her still crimson eyes of a newborn. She places her elbow down and I wink.
"May the best vampire win…"
She grabs my hand and we remain in center for sometime. Finally I manage to move my arm more to her side. She shakes her head grinning and it's then I realize she's been holding back. My eyes rather widen and she slams my hand down against the bolder.
"NO WAY!"
She laughs and shrugs.
"I want a redo! You cheated somehow."
She keeps laughing and Jasper and Alice come out of the house. Jasper tilts his head laughing realizing what we were doing.
"You didn't just take on a newborn."
"What? I so could have had her I should have I."
"I what?" Bella stop in midstride turning towards me.
"I've got the best girl ever?"
She grins.
"I thought that's what you were going to say."
"Come on babe let's try again. Maybe I need to loosen up my arm a little."
Bella sighs and turns back around.
"Very well I'm more than willing to make you look foolish twice."
I position myself again determined I'm not going to lose not this time. She takes my hand again and I give it all I got. She bites down on her lower lip and slams my hand down yet again.
"What the hell!"
"Excuse me?"
"You used that sexy lip thing you do to distract me that's why I lost."
"Hmmm." She starts walking away and I tag behind her like a lost puppy.
I hear Jasper and Alice laughing.
"Ah, come on Bells baby."
She keeps walking with her arms folded.
"I didn't mean it honest."
"You're such an ass."
"Well, yeah but I'm your ass."
I appear in front of her grinning. She turns away again. I twirl her around and she slams me into the ground.
"Hmmm." I run my hands along her lower back and rear.
"Yes please…."
She laughs.
"Punish me I deserve it."
"Em…" She giggles and I roll her onto her back.
I kiss her lips and run my body against her.
"I suppose I owe you…" I say unfastening her pants.
"Wait." She stops me putting a hand against mine.
"I've already experienced that through you."
I laugh.
"And you will time and again." I wiggle my brows actually wanting to taste her badly.
I grow hard just remembering her smell and taste.
"But you've not had the full experience." She shoves me down.
"Bella…" I go to argue forgetting her vampire speed now and before I realize it I'm already in ecstasy and can no longer fight it.
I feel her mouth going to work and close my eyes. With how new this was I knew I wasn't going to last by any means. I try to warn her but it's a bit too late. Ah, shit she's going to be pissed I think to myself quickly rising. Instead she's smiling and wiping off her mouth and fixing her hair back into place.
"HOLY HELL!" I say feeling aroused yet again by her reaction.
"That was freaking hot as hell."
She laughs.
"Em Bear you're too funny."
"I'm serious… Damn…" I say not able to truly get over it.
She gasps out and turns towards the house.
"What is it?"
She takes off running at vampiric speed. I fix my pants and chase after her and we end up in the baby room and Bella has our son in one hand and another vampire pinned to the corner of the room in another.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!" She roars and I grab our daughter and take our son from Bella's hand.
Bella squeezes her neck. The vampire looks to her confused.
"How did you know I was in here."
"WHO ARE YOU!" Bella slams her head into the corner of the room and the others come running in.
Bella looks to my family pissed.
"How did you let this one yank one of our children!"
Alice's eyes widen and her jaw drops.
"She's the one." Alice points to the brunette vampire looking to Jasper.
"The one that's been blocking your visions?"
Alice nods.
"And everything else."
Bella shakes here head pissed and takes the vampire outside slamming her down.
"YOU CAME AFTER OUR CHILDREN?!"
I go to intervene but Carlisle grabs my shoulder.
"Let Bella send this message son."
Bella grabs the vampire by the hair and takes both her arms snapping them off at the elbows.
She then twirls her around.
"Tell Rosalie Lillian that Bella Swan sends her regards…"
I watch as she kicks the vampire and she takes off through the woods. Bella turns to me "now we follow." Holy shit… I raise my brows and nod.
"Now that's what I call a plan." Jasper says.
Bella checks both of our children over and kisses their cheeks.
"Esme would you?"
"Of course Bella dear."
Bella nods. Bella turns to Carlisle.
"I'm sorry but I have to…"
Carlisle puts a hand on her shoulder.
"Not without me." Carlisle says.
I hand Connor and Michaela back to my mother.
"I'll guard them with my life."
"I know you will mom."
Bella's already taken off and I see Jasper and Carlisle behind.
"I'm sorry Em she got passed us all."
"Let's just go end this once and for all."
