BPOV

A month has passed since our fight. Things have been so much better between us. We have learned to respect each other and also being honest with each other. I mean that doesn't mean we don't argue and disagree at times because we still do, but not as bad as the last time. They have been small arguments that have gotten solved right away.

I still haven't told Edward why I acted the way I did, that's not something I'm ready to talk about… Edward hasn't tried asking me about it, but I know he's dying to.

"Bella...Wake up sweatheart."

"Bella's not ready to wake up so shh…" I mumbled sleepily and tried going back to sleep.

I heard him chuckle, "Bella c'mon you need to eat breakfast so you can go to Charlie's."

I ignored him and tried to go back to sleep just when I was about to fall asleep he started tickling me, which woke me right up.

"S-s-t-top" I managed to say while laughing and pushing him away.

"Are you going to wake up?" He asked teasingly.

"Yes! I'm up! I'm up!" I yelled surrendering.

He laughed looking victorious as he leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back but then I realized I had morning breath so I pulled back and got off the bed.

He looked at me confused.

"Morning breath!" I yelled running toward the bathroom.

I heard him chuckle.

"So are you all good now?" he asked teasingly as I walked back into the room.

I stuck my tongue out at him and walked out of my room and to the stairwell. I was trying to be quick about it but it was all in vain doing that against a vampire. He was quickly at my side and pulling me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Edward!" I squeaked.

"That's what you get for sticking your tongue at me and trying to run away from me." He said while running down the stairs.

He plopped me onto a chair in the kitchen.

"So what do you want for breakfast?" he asked innocently.

I just glared and got up without saying a word getting a bowl and some cereal and milk.

"Are you mad at me?" he said sounding hurt.

"What do you think?" I asked rhetorically.

He sighed and sat in the chair next to me and grabbed my face in his hands.

"I am so very sorry for throwing you over my shoulder and being mean to you." He said sincerely before kissing me on the lips.

I resigned easily and kissed him back.

He pulled away after a while, "Okay you need to eat your breakfast. Are you sure that's enough? I can make you something nice if you want?"

I smiled and leaned in to give him a few pecks on the lips. He was so sweet and caring, I felt like I didn't deserve him.

"No it's okay. I mean I'll be eating whatever I make for Charlie."

"Okay…" he said seeming unconvinced.

He worried too much about me. He needed to learn how to take a chill pill every now and then.

"So where are you guys going to go hunting at?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"We aren't going too far..." He answered hesitantly.

I sighed angrily, "Edward if you aren't going far just to stay near here you're being ridiculous! You need to go and have fun with your brothers. I know you get bored hunting animals nearby. So please for me go out and have fun. I'll be fine! I'm just going over to Charlie's to cook for him and come back home."

He looked at me kind of shocked at my outburst.

"Bella…I don't know…" he started to say but I cut him off.

"No Edward! You are going to go have fun with your brothers and that's final! Don't make me call Emmett and Jasper to come over here this instant."

He sighed resigned and nodded, "Fine! But I'll have Alice come over and keep you company."

"No Edward! I refuse to have a babysitter! I'm a big girl I can take care of myself. Plus I won't be by myself, I'll be with Charlie and he's the chief of police." I argued.

He didn't say anything but sat there thinking, "Okay but how about Alice picks you up afterwards for some girl time?" he asked sweetly batting his eyelashes at me.

Damn him! He knew I couldn't resist him!

"Fine!"

He smiled victoriously and all of a sudden his phone started ringing. I could guess who that was.

"Alice." He answered.

Yep! I was right.

He smiled, "Okay I'll let her know. Bye." And he hung up.

"That was fast." I commented.

He smiled, "Alice wanted to let you know she can't wait for your girl's night. She said be prepared to have fun."

"Ugh I can imagine what kind of fun she means. Bella makeover." I groaned.

He just chuckled and hugged me.

"Have fun hunting and get a few mountain lions for me." I said kissing him.

"Be careful and have fun. Don't worry too much about Alice. I told Esme to rein her in if she went overboard." He said.

We kissed one more time before I got out his car and walked toward Charlie's house. I looked back and waved at Edward and with that he went off.

I walked up the porch stairs and knocked on Charlie's door.

He answered quickly.

"Hey Bells, come on in." He said letting me in.

"Hey Charlie and thanks" I said going in.

"How you been kid?" he asked.

"Eh, can't complain. How about you?"

"I'm doing as good as I can be." He said.

I felt a pain in my chest thinking how Charlie is here all alone with no one to keep him company…

"So what would you like to what today?" I asked.

"Actually we are going to need to go to the grocery store. I haven't had time to go because I have been busy with work. There have been a lot of calls of people seeing huge bears nearby and it's freaking the people out." He said looking down at the paperwork on his table.

"Are they a danger?" I asked worriedly.

"They haven't been so far but if they become a problem we will have to go out and check them out." He answered.

The thought scared me, those bears could attack him and I would hate to see him get injured. Charlie has become someone very important in my life and I would hate to see anything happen to him.

"Well keep me up to date on that. Now let's go get you some food." I said grabbing his keys from the counter and throwing them at him.

He caught them easily and smiled at me.

"Nice catch." I complimented.

He just smiled and let me lead the way out.

At the grocery store we got everything we needed for the rest of the week and also stuff to make chicken enchiladas which I was making tonight. We put everything into the trunk of the cruiser and pulled out of the parking lot.

He was pulling out onto the road and started driving him. We were both silent which was okay since we were used to it.

All of a sudden I heard a loud braking noise and honking and when I turned to my side of the window I saw a huge trailer truck coming right at us. I stared wide eyed at it as it got closer. The man in the trailer is starring panicked at me as well. And as soon as I make eye contact with him a lot of things happen: I hear Charlie yelling…there are tires screeching... there is metal scrunching…I feel sharp pain…then I hear a blood curling scream and it then it all goes black….

"Eddie stop being all gloomy and sullen, you're ruining the mood." Emmett said.

"Sorry, it's just I hate leaving Bella alone." I said feeling guilty for ruining this trip.

"It's fine. Don't listen to Emmett. This is your first time going far away since you guys have been together." Jasper said.

"I don't know why you're freaking out. She's just cooking over at Charlie's what's the worst she can do? Cut herself? Start a fire? Plus Alice will call if anything happens." Emmett tried reasoning.

I groaned thinking about Bella cutting herself or starting a fire and burning herself. I was about to turn around and go back to Bella, but Jasper put his hand on my shoulder.

"Emmett you're not helping." He scolds.

"Sorry man." Emmett said clapping me on the back.

I sighed, "It's fine…"

Although I was nothing but fine; I had a weird feeling in my chest.

Jasper soon used his powers on me to calm me down.

"Thanks man." I said.

He just nodded.

"Okay so we'll hunt as much as we can and meet up right here. If anything happens, just holler." Emmett said.

We all ran in different directions.

I was now in predator mode. I closed my eyes and went completely still listening for anything. I heard a distant heartbeat and a stream. As I took a whiff I could smell the animal's blood pumping through its body. I ran toward it, as I got closer I could see it was a mountain lion. He was lying next to the stream cleaning itself. I slowly made my way up to it trying not to make any noise. I guess it heard me because it stopped cleaning itself and his ears shot up. It got up and started looking around.

The poor thing didn't know what it had coming. I ran and jumped on it. It growled and tried clawing on me but I held him down and sunk my teeth in it. It continued growling until it came out as a gurgle and then it was silent.

When I was done with it I grabbed the carcass and made a hole and buried it.

I went back to the stream to wash my hands and face. As soon as I finished I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I got it out and saw that it was Alice. Something told me it wasn't good.

"Alice?" I answered worriedly.

"Edward, I didn't see it coming. I was too late!" she said her voice sounding thick.

"Alice what happened?" I started to panic.

"Edward…Bella was in an accident. A trailer hit the cruiser… It's bad… You need to get home immediately…" she said her voice breaking.

"W-what? How bad is it?" I pressed.

"Edward, just come home now! Esme and I are at the hospital... Carlisle is with them at the moment we don't know anything yet… Hurry Edward!" she sobbed before hanging up.

My mind couldn't understand what was happening. Bella. My beautiful Bella was in an accident. Not just her but Charlie as well, who I'm pretty sure was her father…

What if she died? No! I couldn't think that way. I couldn't lose her. Just the thought made my chest hurt worse than it already does.

I needed to move! I couldn't continue standing here paralyzed. I needed to get Emmett and Jasper and head home or well to the hospital to where the love of my life is.

I needed to see her. To see she was okay or that she was going to be.

And with that I was running toward where we said we would meet.

"Jasper! Emmett!" I hollered.

They better hurry up. Or else I will leave them.

My main priority is to see my Bella.

All of a sudden I heard running and when I looked up I saw Emmett and Jasper looking at me worriedly.

"Edward, what happened?" Emmett asked.

Jasper felt my mood and felt how I was going crazy.

"What's going on?" he thought.

"Bella and Charlie were in an accident. Alice says it was bad. We need to get to the hospital now!" I commanded before taking off.

I didn't care what they decided to do. My message was said and now I needed to get to Bella.

I ran like a lunatic toward the hospital.

Behind me I could make out that Jasper was on the phone with Alice. He was trying to sooth her through the phone.

I knew Alice was a mess. Bella was her best friend and she loved her almost as much as I did.

We arrived at the hospital and I walked as best as I could at human pace inside. I sniffed for Alice's and Esme's scent and I could smell the up in the fourth floor. I felt Jasper and Emmett behind me as I ran up the stairs. I didn't care if I was going human pace or not all I needed was Bella.

My thoughts were consumed with Bella at the moment. Her smile, her eyes, her hair, her laugh, her warmth…

"Edward, slow down bro!" Emmett thought.

I ignored him.

I soon reached the fourth floor and went straight to Esme and Alice who were sitting in the waiting area with Victoria, Laurent, Anne and Vivian. They were all hugging each other. They all lifted their head up as I walked in.

"How are they?" I asked panicked as I took in all their faces.

Vivian and Anne had tear streaked faces. Alice, Esme, Victoria and even Laurent had glassy looking eyes if that were even possible for vampires.

Laurent had Victoria wrapped in his arms soothing her. Alice and Esme were in a similar position.

"We don't know anything yet. Carlisle hasn't come out yet. They are doing the best they can to save them." Esme said her voice thick.

"Alice why don't you be useful and tell me what's going on?" I snapped at her.

"Edward!" both Jasper and Esme yelled as Alice flinched at my words.

"I need to know what will happen!" I sighed frustrated.

"Bro, why don't you sit down and try to listening to what's going on?"
Emmett said guiding me to sit down.

How can Emmett be the mature and me the immature one today? I feel like today was a dream since nothing made sense.

I decided to calm down and listen to the thoughts around me.

"Please God help Bella and Charlie make it through this. They both have so much ahead of them." Esme thought.

"We can't lose Bella. What we do without her? She's my partner in crime, my sister… She's strong she has to make it through this…" Vivian thought before sobbing.

"Don't leave us yet Bella. We need you so much. What would we do without you in our lives? Please be okay and also Charlie, he's a great man." Victoria thought.

Alice's thoughts were flashes of Bella on the bed looking pale, bloody, and lifeless. With machines hooked on her with bruises and scrapes covering her.

I flinched and so did Alice.

"Carlisle!" Everyone exhaled in relief.

I was distracted by Alice's visions that I didn't hear him coming. I ran to his side. He looked exhausted and worried.

"Dad, tell me how she is." I demanded.

He sighed and patted my arm. He looked at everyone else before looking at me and then back to everyone else.

"Bella and Charlie are in critical conditions. They are both going to need blood transfusions since they lost a lot of blood…Bella suffered more impact than Charlie though since the trailer hit right at her side. So her right side is pretty messed up. Her leg is broken, her arm, and so are her ribs. Her lung is slightly injured but not too horribly so that's a plus. Her left side is injured as well but not as severally. Her face has scrapes and she has a gash on her forehead. Charlie has a lot of cuts and scrapes. He has a broken leg and a few broken ribs." He said sadly.

My heart constricted in my chest. I could not believe how badly hurt my poor Bella was. Why oh why did this happen to her? She has gone through enough in life. She doesn't need more.

"When can I see her?" I asked in a strained voice.

"Well you will have to wait a little longer. She is having some blood transfusions…" He said looking down at his charts.

"Hmm…my suspicions seem right…" He thought.

"What suspicions?" I demanded.

Everyone looked at him expectantly.

He looked up at me and then at everyone with a slight smile, "I think Charlie is Bella's biological father."

Everyone gasped except for Alice and me of course.

"Of course nothing is one hundred percent certain; I need to do a DNA test but looking down at these charts and well with their physical appearances it seems likely." He said smiling.

"Although I'm certain I'm right, I hope it's true because both Bella and Charlie deserve this." He thought.

"I can't believe I never saw it! Of course now that I think about it they do have similarities in them and how they both got along so quickly. It must be their blood calling them together. Oh this is so great!" Esme thought excitedly.

"Charlie is Bella's father? My Bella has a father? Oh this is amazing! She deserves this after having such a shitty mother. She deserves to have his fatherly love. I can't wait for them to find out!" Victoria thought happily.

"Bella will be stoked when she finds out! I'm so glad she has found her father and that he isn't a piece of crap like her mother." Vivian thought.

I was so glad that Bella and Charlie were going to get this opportunity. I couldn't wait for them to find out, but first they needed to wake up and heal before they were told.

I needed to go see Bella now. I was dying to see her.

As if reading my thoughts Carlisle looked at me and smiled, "Go to her son."

He didn't need to tell me twice.

I sped walked up to her room and before going into her room I took a deep breath controlling myself.

I opened her door and like in the vision she was laying there pale and lifeless. If it wasn't for the machine beeping at her side and her heart beat I would swear she was dead.

I walked toward the bed and saw her gauzed up. I also saw bruises starting to form. It killed me to see her like this all helpless.

I felt like this was my fault. Why had I listened to her? I should of stayed close by incase something like this happened.

I slowly reached up to gently smooth her hair back.

I sighed. My sweet, stubborn, beautiful girl. What would I do without her? I have come too many times close to losing her. If anything like this happened again I'm sure I will need to be institutionalized because I don't think I could take this again.

"Bella, please get better and wake up soon. I need to yell at you and then tell you how much I love you." I said leaning in to kiss her gently before sitting down in the chair next to hers and grabbing her hand in mine.

I will wait until she wakes up. Hopefully it won't be an agonizing wait.

:o Yay! Charlie is Bella's dad! :D but sucks that they had to find out by having the accident. so what do you think will happen next? how will they react?

Let me know what you think! :)

Until next time!
