(Charlie's POV)

Over the past weeks lots has happened. We have gathered witnesses, we discovered Bella was a shield, I have nearly perfected my talent but most importantly Alice and Jasper have left or coven. I'm sure Bella knows why but I'm not pressing the subject with her because I'm sure if she could tell me she would. Today is Christmas, our first and presumably last as a family. The snow is finally sticking to the ground, tomorrow is the day. "You look so gorgeous right now I just want to stick my dick in your mouth." Emmett growls low in my ear.

"Oh my god," I squeal attracting the attention of everyone in the crowded room.

"You ok baby girl," Charlie asks me wrapping his arms around Sue in his lap.

"Yes I'm fine," I smile.

"Sorry I was trying to get your attention for the past five minutes it was my last resort," Emmett chuckles.

"Oh sorry I zoned out."

"I know so I brought you back to me."

"I'll always come back to you." I assure him and he leans in for a kiss.

"Mama! Mama! Look what Grandpa got me," Val shouts holding up a silver sequined dress.

"That's beautiful Val, where did you get this Daddy?"

"Sue helped me pick it out," he replies proudly. "There's something for you too Charlie."

I look under the brightly lit tree to find two wrapped presents one addressed to Charlie the other to Charlotte and I was tempted to leave the second one under the tree because I knew who it was from. There is only one person who calls me Charlotte, Renee. "What is this?"

"It's from your mother, it got here with Bella's."

I look to my sister who is whispering and giggling with Edward in the corner.

"Open it Mama," Valkyrie demands. I look to Emmett for help but he just shrugs. I rip the package open to peer inside where I found a charm bracelet on it was lollipop, lipstick, four leaf clover, a mirror, a pair of high heels, and a pink heart. The letter inside read ~My dearest Charlotte, I know you and I never saw eye to eye on much of anything but I have always loved you. Even though I wasn't around to see you become the amazing woman you are today these are all little things that remind me of you, my darling girl.~ If I could still cry I would have been my mother loved me. Not just Bella but me, the one she left behind. With this new knowledge I was content in my life and I felt completely fulfilled.

"Will you put it on me?" I ask Emmett much to his surprise but he nods and clasps the delicate chain around my wrist.

"Now mine," My father encourages.

"Yeah, yeah," I sigh reaching for it opening the box. "Oh Daddy." I breathe reveling in the beauty of what was before me.

"You're welcome," he chuckled at my inability to take my mind off my new Jimmy Choo heels.

"Can I see," Ren asks sweetly.

"Guard them with your life girlfriend."

"Yes Aunt Charlie," she smiles rolling her eyes removing the nude pumps from the glorious box.

These are the memories I will keep with me till the end, these are the ones that mattered, nothing else.
