by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

281. Chapter 279

I don't speak as the silence goes on, instead watching my father.

Charlie is in a state of disbelief, looking between Carlisle and me. I can tell that he's trying to guess what I'm doing here…

But that's when he looks down at my belly, and sees the bump.

He grins like a sadistic version of the Cheshire cat, plans forming in his head as he stares at the most vulnerable part of my body.

I cover it with my hand, trying to protect the child in my womb from him and his prying eyes.

It's only when he looks up at me, smirks and scoffs before turning away and leaving that I relax.

"Come on," Carlisle says as soon as my father's figure is gone from sight. He says this gently, his voice calm, though his face and posture is anything but. "Let's go into my office and talk."

Um, just thought I'd say that none of this is personal experience. A reader asked that, though I don't know why, so yeah... just clearing that up.

:D
