my finger。 I wanted to shove my left hand in a pocket�察�or maybe sit on it�察�but Edward's cool�察�firm grasp 
kept it front and center。 

;Stop fidgeting�察�Bella。 Please try to remember that you're not confessing to a murder here。; 

;Easy for you to say。; 

I listened to the ominous sound of my father's boots clomping up the sidewalk。 The key rattled in the 
already open door。 The sound reminded me of that part of the horror movie when the victim realizes 
she's forgotten to lock herdeadbolt。 

;Calm down�察�Bella�察─�Edward whispered�察�listening to the acceleration of my heart。 

The door slammed against the wall�察�and I flinched like I'd been Tasered。 

;Hey�察�Charlie�察─�Edward called�察�entirely relaxed。 

;No� ─�I protested under my breath。 

;What�拭─�Edward whispered back。 

;Wait till he hangs his gun up� ─�

Edward chuckled and ran his free hand through his tousled bronze hair。 

Charlie came around the corner�察�still in his uniform�察�still armed�察�and tried not to make a face when he 
spied us sitting together on the loveseat。 Lately�察�he'd been putting forth a lot of effort to like Edward 
more。 Of course�察�this revelation was sure to end that effort immediately。 

;Hey�察�kids。 What's up�拭─�

;We'd like to talk to you�察─�Edward said�察�so serene。 ;We have some good news。; 

Charlie's expression went from strained friendliness to black suspicion in a second。 

;Good news�拭─�Charlie growled�察�looking straight at me。 

;Have a seat�察�Dad。; 

He raised one eyebrow�察�stared at me for five seconds�察�then stomped to the recliner and sat down on the 
very edge�察�his back ramrod straight。 



                                                                                                             Page 10

;Don't get worked up�察�Dad�察─�I said after a moment of loaded silence。 ;Everything's okay。; 

Edward grimaced�察�and I knew it was in objection to the word okay。 He probably would have used 
something more like wonderful or perfect or glorious。 

;Sure it is�察�Bella�察�sure it is。 If everything is so great�察�then why are you sweating bullets�拭─�

;I'm not sweating�察─�I lied。 

I leaned away from his fierce scowl�察�cringing into Edward�察�and instinctively wiped the back of my right 
hand across my forehead to remove the evidence。 

;You're pregnant� ─�Charlie exploded。 ;You're pregnant�察�aren't you�拭─�

Though the question was clearly meant for me�察�he was glaring at Edward now�察�and I could have sworn I 
saw his hand twitch toward the gun。 

;No� �Of course I'm not� ─�I wanted to elbow Edward in the ribs�察�but I knew that move would only give 
me a bruise。 I'd told Edward that people would immediately jump to this conclusion� �What other 
possible reason would sane people have for getting married at eighteen�拭。�His answer then had made me 
roll my eyes。 Love。 Right。�� 

Charlie's glower lightened a shade。 It was usually pretty clear on my face when I was telling the truth�察�
and he believed me now。 ;Oh。 Sorry。; 

;Apology accepted。; 

There was a long pause。 After a moment�察�I realized everyone was waiting for me to say something。 I 
looked up at Edward�察�panic´stricken。 There was no way I was going to get the words out。 

He smiled at me and then squared his shoulders and turned to my father。 

;Charlie�察�I realize that I've gone about this out of order。 Traditionally�察�I should have asked you first。 I 
mean no disrespect�察�but since Bella has already said yes and I don't want to diminish her choice in the 
matter�察�instead of asking you for her hand�察�I'm asking you for your blessing。 We're getting married�察�
Charlie。 I love her more than anything in the world�察�more than my own life�察�and!by some miracle!she 
loves me that way�察�too。 Will you give us your blessing�拭─�

He sounded so sure�察�so calm。 For just an instant�察�listening to the absolute confidence in his voice�察�I 
experienced a rare moment of insight�察�i could see�察�fleetingly�察�the way the world looked to him。 For the 
length of one heartbeat�察�this news made perfect sense。 

And then I caught sight of the expression on Charlie's face�察�his eyes now locked on the ring。 

I held my breath while his skin changed colors!fair to red�察�red to purple�察�purple to blue。 I started to get 
up!I'm 

not sure what I planned to do�察�maybe use the Heimlich maneuver to make sure he wasn't choking!but 
Edward squeezed my hand and murmured ;Give him a minute; so low that only I could hear。 




                                                                                                               Page 11

The silence was much longer this time。 Then�察�gradually�察�shade by shade�察�Charlie's color returned to 
normal。 His lips pursed�察�and his eyebrows furrowed�察�I recognized his ;deep in thought; expression。 He 
studied the two of us for a long moment�察�and I felt Edward relax at my side。 

;Guess I'm not that surprised�察─�Charlie grumbled。 ;Knew I'd have to deal with something like this soon 
enough。; 

I exhaled。 

;You sure about this�拭─�Charlie demanded�察�glaring at me。 

;I'm one hundred percent sure about Edward�察─�I told him without missing a beat。 

;Getting married�察�though�拭�What's the rush�拭─�He eyed me suspiciously again。 

The rush was due to the fact that I was getting closer to nineteen every stinking day�察�while Edward 
stayed frozen in all his seventeen´year´old perfection�察�as he had for over ninety years。 Not that this fact 
necessitated marriage in my book�察�but the wedding was required due to the delicate and tangled 
compromise Edward and I had made to finally get to this point�察�the brink of my transformation from 
mortal to immortal。 

These weren't things I could explain to Charlie。 

;We're going away to Dartmouth together in the fall�察�Charlie�察─�Edward reminded him。 ;I'd like to do that�察�
well�察�the right way。 It's how I was raised。; He shrugged。 

He wasn't exaggerating�察�they'd been big on old´fashioned morals during World War I。 

Charlie's mouth twisted to the side。 Looking for an angle to argue from。 But what could he say�拭�I'd 
prefer you live in sin first�拭�He was a dad�察�his hands were tied。 

;Knew this was coming�察─�he muttered to himself�察�frowning。 Then�察�suddenly�察�his face went perfectly 
smooth and blank。 

;Dad�拭─�I asked anxiously。 I glanced at Edward�察�but I couldn't read his face�察�either�察�as he watched 
Charlie。 

;Ha� ─�Charlie exploded。 I jumped in my seat。 ;Ha�察�ha�察�ha� ─�

I stared incredulously as Charlie doubled over in laughter�察�his whole body shook with it。 

I looked at Edward for a translation�察�but Edward had his lips pressed tightly together�察�like he was trying 
to hold back laughter himself。 

;Okay�察�fine�察─�Charlie choked out。 ;Get married。; Another roll of laughter shook through him。 ;But。。。; 

;But what�拭─�I demanded。 

;But you have to tell your mom� �I'm not saying one word to Renee� �That's all yours� ─�He busted into 
loud guffaws。 




                                                                                                              Page 12

I paused with my hand on the doorknob�察�smiling。 Sure�察�at the time�察�Charlie's words had terrified me。 The 
ultimate doom�此�telling Renee。 Early marriage was higher up on her blacklist than boiling live puppies。 

Who could have foreseen her response�拭�Not me。 Certainly not Charlie。 Maybe Alice�察�but I hadn't 
thought to ask her。 

;Well�察�Bella�察─�Renee had said after I'd choked and stuttered out the impossible words�此�/Worn�察�I'm 
marrying Edward。 Tm a little miffed that you waited so long to tell me。 Plane tickets only get more 
expensive。 Oooh�察─�she'd fretted。 ;Do you think Phil's cast will be off by then�拭�It will spoil the pictures if 
he's not in a tux!; 

;Back up a second�察�Mom。; I'd gasped。 ;What do you mean�察�waited so long�拭�I just got en´en 。 。 。;!I'd 
been unable to force out the word engaged!;things settled�察�you know�察�today。; 

;Today�拭�Really�拭�That is a surprise。 I assumed 。。。; 

;What did you assume�拭�When did you assume�拭─�

;Well�察�when you came to visit me in April�察�it looked like things were pretty much sewn up�察�if you know 
what I mean。 You're not very hard to read�察�sweetie。 But I didn't say anything because I knew it wouldn't 
do any good。 You're exactly like Charlie。; She'd sighed�察�resigned。 ;Once you make up your mind�察�there 
is no reasoning with you。 Of course�察�exactly like Charlie�察�you stick by your decisions�察�too。; 

And then she'd said the last thing that I'd ever expected to hear from my mother。 

;You're not making my mistakes�察�Bella。 You sound like you're scared silly�察�and I'm guessing it's because 
you're afraid of me。; She'd giggled。 ;Of what I'm going to think。 And I know I've said a lot of things 
about marriage and stupidity!and I'm not taking them back!but you need to realize that those things 
specifically applied to me。 You're a completely different person than I am。 You make your own kinds of 
mistakes�察�and I'm sure you'll have your share of regrets in life。 But commitment was never your problem�察�
sweetie。 You have a better chance of making this work than most forty´year´olds I know。; Renee had 
laughed again。 ;My little middle´aged child。 Luckily�察�you seem to have found another old soul。; 

;You're not。。。 mad�拭�You don't think I'm making a humongous mistake�拭─�

;Well�察�sure�察�I wish you'd wait a few more years。 I mean�察�do I look old enough to be a mother´in´law to 
you�拭�Don't answer that。 But this isn't about me。 This is about you。 Are you happy�拭─�

;I don't know。 I'm having an out´of´body experience right now。; 

Renee had chuckled。 ;Does he make you happy�察�Bella�拭─�

;Yes�察�but!; 

;Are you ever going to want anyone else�拭─�

;No�察�but!; 

;But what�拭─�

;But aren't you going to say that I sound exactly like every other infatuated teenager since the dawn of
