Breaking Dawn take 2.

I do not own Twilight, New Moon or Eclipse. Stephenie Meyer does.

A/N: Okay, this is chapter one of my revised story. I'm going to leave my old story up for a short while, maybe a few days so everyone can see the author's notes and then I'm going to just delete all of the other chapters and keep the new and improved ones up. Please please please tell me what you think of this chapter and I hope it's better than before. I wanted to try to stick more to the facts of the series, so this time before I post up new chapters I'm going to have one of my friends read and review them. Thanks so much for reading!!

ps.I'm sorry the chapter is so short!

Chapter One: The Truth

I tucked my feet together, my calves rubbing against each other for warmth. It was three o'clock in the morning and I was unpleasantly reminded why I had detested Forks so much at my arrival. The rain pattered noisily on the roof and as my eyes focused I could make out the rain drops sliding down the window. I rolled onto my back, staring up at the ceiling, hoping that this new position could somehow bring back the nice aroma of sleep. I focused on the cracks in the ceiling, making words out of the invisible lines.

Two ice cold arms snaked their way around my waist. I twisted in the blankets, searching for the pair of lips that were awaiting me. Edward understood what I was searching for and placed a delicate kiss on my lips. We deepened the kiss a little further, as far as Edward would allow with his strict boundaries, but my mind was elsewhere.

Our conversation with Charlie earlier replayed in my head. Considering all that Edward and I had put Charlie through, he handled the news of our engagement pretty well. However, that doesn't mean that he wasn't ballistic. Because he was. Edward had taken me home from the meadow, where he dropped my side of our deal. I, however, decided to stick with our deal, for Edward. For Alice. For Charlie and Renee. For me.

Edward and I had run inside the house from the rain, our smiles broad. Charlie frowned at us, and turned back to the television.

"Do you want me to make a late dinner, dad?" I asked.

"Thanks for the offer, but I ordered pizza while you were at the Cullens. If you're hungry there are a few slices left that I saved for you."

"No thanks," I said, shaking out my hair like a wet dog. My left hand ran through my hair, trying to untangle it. As I was disheveling my matted hair, Charlie took notice of the shiny object on my finger.

He gasped, but just loud enough so that I could barely hear him. Then, his face flushed bright red like a tomato and his eyes narrowed at me. I blushed under his scrutiny, but before I could say anything to explain Charlie was suddenly stomping his way over to Edward and me. Edward stepped slightly in front of me, protectively, but it was unnecessary.

"Bella, please tell me this isn't what I think it is," Charlie stammered.

"Actually, Edward and I wanted to tell you all about it right when we got home. So, I guess it's perfect timing. See, dad, Edward proposed to me and well, I sorta accepted. I know it's sudden, but I'm totally in love with Edward." I ranted.

Edward intervened, "Chief Swan," he started formally, "I'm madly in love with your daughter and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I know that I didn't ask your permission or consent first, but honestly, nothing will ever be able to keep me away from Bella." He paused. "I know your thinking that I left before, and you're probably assuming that I'll do it again, but sir, I promise I will never be able to be separated from Bella again."

Charlie was silent, stunned. He slowly regained his composure, or lack of.

"How can I trust that promise? You two are too young to be getting married! I certainly was at your age and I made that mistake. Do you want to end up like me someday Bella? I certainly don't want you to."

"Dad, I'm not making some hasty decision. I've been thinking over this for a long time. Edward actually proposed a while ago, but I said no, that I needed more time to think it over. Trust me; I'm positive that this is what I want."

"Bella," Charlie whined. "I guess I'm proud that you said no and thought it over," he said, smug, "but I still think you're much too young to be getting married."

I looked up at Edward next to me. His face was surprisingly calm. He quickly leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"Show him that you'll still be his little girl. He doesn't want to lose you."

With that being said, I resplendently ran into Charlie and gave him a bear hug, similar to Emmett's. He straightened up, and then tightened his arms around me, hugging me back.

"Dad," I said, "it is possible for me to be both Edward's wife and your daughter. Just because I'm sharing my love with somebody else, it doesn't mean I'm going to forget about you."

We broke apart and Charlie was taken back with my words and a couple of rebel tears streamed down his face.

"If this he's what makes you happy then I guess I'm happy. I just don't want you to regret anything later on."

"Thank you dad," I murmured, my tears also betraying me. "And Edward and I are resolute. We've tried living apart from each other and it isn't a possibility."

"Bella," Edward whispered in my ear, bringing me back to the present. "I've been trying to get your attention for the past minute."

"Sorry, I was just thinking."

"Care to fill me in?" he chuckled.

"Just replaying earlier this evening over in my head. Are you positive that Charlie is okay with the whole marriage thing?"

"Not one hundred percent, but yes, he's okay with the whole 'marriage thing.'"

I smiled subtly, "Have I told you that I love you lately?"

"Yes, but it's nice to hear all the same," Edward murmured against the skin of my throat, slowly planting delicate kisses up my throat until he found my lips.

The kiss was smoldering, and all too soon I had to pull away, gasping for a breath of air. Edward silently chuckled, but I could feel the bed shake faintly.

"You're exhausted," he stated, "try to get some sleep. I think Alice has some wedding preparation plans with you tomorrow. You're going to need all of the rest you can get."

I groaned, but listened to him, closing my eyes, and snuggling up next to my fiancé.
