This is going to Breaking Dawn from Edward's POV, I'm starting at chapter 1, at the part where they are confessing their engagement to Charlie. I know I may get a few words off, but bear with me, as my copy of the book is missing certain pages ( I've read it so many times I can remember what I'm missing to some extent =) ) anyway I hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I'm only doing this once as this is obviously a fan fiction and thereby, it's obvious I don't own Twilight, all rights to the characters, and story go to Stephenie Meyer. I am in no way affiliated with Twilight or the respectable author, I merely enjoyed the series enough to write this. (note that the dialogue that is MINE are during the parts where Edward Edward is absent in the book.)
I couldn't help but smile at the fear in my sweet Bella's eyes as we sat on the shabby living room couch awaiting the arrival of her father, the chief policeman Charlie. We were gearing to tell him of our engagement, I loved the thought of that word, Bella had never merely felt like my girlfriend, she had always been so much more, so wonderful, almost like a dream (it was a good thing I couldn't sleep or I might not think she was real.) she was more than a soul mate. I knew we could never ever be apart, i'd tried to break our bonds once to save her from my world, it only served to endanger her even more, after all we'd been through, I could never imagine life without her, and soon she would be my wife! I loved that phrase, my wife, Bella Cullen. The sound of her name and mine together sent thrills of joy through me, making my dead heart want to beat. But that only served to remind me of what Bella was going to become to be with me. Her heart would stop beating, her eyes would turn red, and her lips would grow cold. It hurt to imagine her, trapped, a vampire like me and the rest of my family. But I knew it could be no other way, I couldn't live without her, and the way things were going, if I left Bella human for too long, she would die, she was a magnet for danger, I thought about her as a vampire, I'd seen her in Alice's visions, it was the clearest vision she'd ever experienced, the only other future that involved Bella was of her lying cold and still and silent for all eternity. It hurt even more, causing my dead heart to burn with the fear of losing her.
Then I was drawn out of my thoughts by her hand clutching mine, as warm as fire against my frigid skin. I squeezed her hand lightly, I knew with even the slightest pressure I could break all the bones in her hand. But I would never let that happen. Her safety meant more to me than all eternity. I stared down at our intertwined hands, the sight of my mother's ring on her slim finger made me grin. It was real, we were really going to get married! I felt so... light! I felt alive again whenever I saw it, or even when I just saw her beautiful heart shaped face. Just then we heard charlies cruiser making its way down the driveway "stop fidgeting Bella. Please try to remember that you're not confessing to a murder here." I tried to keep the humor out of my voice. "Easy for you to say." she grumbled clutching my hand. oh no. Edward's here. Thought a disgruntled Charlie. I heard his boots clunking up the driveway, and the jangle of keys and spare change in his pocket. His thoughts were grumpy, but not so hostile that I had anything to fear. I heard his keys in the unlocked door. "calm down Bella" I whispered, hearing her heart rattling against her ribs. The scent of her blood no longer drove me to near madness, after thinking I'd lost her I knew I could never harm her.
The door slammed against the wall as Charlie entered, Bella flinched beside me. "Hey Charlie" hey asshole. Came Charlie's thoughts. "no!" Bella whispered urgently, "what?" I replied confused. "wait till he hangs up his gun!" she exclaimed, I chuckled and ran my hand through my hair, if Charlie took a shot at me it would bounce off my skin. but I doubt a cop would be that stupid anyway.
Charlie came around the corner, his gun still attached in a holster at his hip. He tried not to glare at Bella and I together. Why does he always have to be so touchy feely? And why is Bella so nervous... why are they looking at me like that. "Hey kids. What's up?" he asked warily. "we'd like to talk to you. we have some good news" I smiled. "Good news?" Charlie growled, trying to remain subdued, glaring at Bella, nothing good can come of this. "Have a seat Dad." she told him. He raised an eyebrow staring at Bella, then finally lowered himself into the recliner, his back was so straight I almost feared it would snap from the tension. "Don't get worked up dad." Bella told him, "Everything's okay" I grimaced, Okay? I thought to myself. Okay? Try stupendous, marvelous, brilliant, wonderful, fantastic, blissful, okay was almost insulting, but I kept my mouth shut. I knew how difficult this would be, and it was only fair that I let her. "Sure it is, Sure it is. If everything is so great then why are you sweating bullets?" charlie asked, throwing a suspicious glare my way. "I'm not sweating" Bella lied, curling closer into my chest, and swiping the obvious sheen of sweat from her perfect forehead. OH MY GOD!!!! "you're pregnant! You're pregnant aren't you?" Charlie Yelled, his eyes boring into mine. I'll shoot the bastard! Corrupting my sweet little girl! I'll kill him!!!!!!! no, no Charlie calm down! He as twitching, his hand moving a little closer to his gun than I was comfortable, "No! Of course II'm not!" Bella yelped. "Oh. Sorry." he muttered, but his eyes never left my face. "apology accepted" Bella murmured. An awkward silence filled the room as I waited for Bella to say something. I glanced at Bella who remained frozen, panic stricken, I rolled my eyes, squared my shoulder and turned to Charlie.
"Charlie, I realize I've gone about this out of order, traditionally, I should have asked you first. I mean no disrespect, but since Bella has already said yes and I don't want to diminish her choice in the matter instead of asking for her hand,Im asking you for your blessing. We're getting married Charlie. I love her more than anything in the world, more than my own life..."ah, that must be why you broke her heart. Thought Charlie, an image of Bella's face the night I left her flashing through his mind. I flinched internally, the sight of her face, her pain, was gut wrenching, but I continued, " by some miracle, she loves me this way too. Will you give us your blessing?" Charlie was frozen in a look of horror, and anger, glaring down at the ring on Bella's finger. His face began to change colors, from fair to purple, till he look like a blueberry, I could hear his heart thumping away, like horses hooves on cobblestone. His lip twitched infinitesimally and there was a rise in his body temperature, Bella was about to get up and say something, but I stopped her, "Give him a minute" I murmured into her ear. I guess I can't do anything about this...I relaxed, "guess I'm not that surprised" Charlie grumbled, his lip had stopped twitching and his color was normal again. "knew I'd have to deal with something like this soon enough" he was resigned. "Are you sure about this?" he asked, "I'm one hundred percent sure about Edward." she replied promptly, and I felt like flying. "getting married though, what's the rush?" asked Charlie,glaring suspiciously at us. "We're going to Dartmouth together in the fall Charlie." I reminded him, even though there was a good chance Bella wouldn't be able to be around people for several years, I shuddered internally again, "I'd like to do that, well, the right way. It's how I was raised." I told him, in complete honesty. Charlie's mouth twisted and he looked like he was out of ideas. "knew this was coming" he muttered. Then his face went all calm and happy. Aha! I know, I'll stop Bella right in her tracks. "Dad?" Bella asked as he sat there staring blankly, she glanced at me, and looked confused. Then Charlie exploded. "HA!" Charlie yelled jumping up, slurring the delicious smell of his blood all around the room. I held my breath until it dissipated, then couldn't help a small smile. "HA, ha, ha!!!!" Charlie was laughing manically grinning like a lunatic. I wsa trying not to laugh to, or that would've given away what I knew. "Fine! Get married. But..." "But what?" asked Bella suspiciously, "but you have to tell your mom. I'm not saying one word to Renee! That's all yours!"he was getting hysterical now, little did he know, Renee already knew, or suspected as much, his threat was empty... but Bella didn't need to now that. Her stricken face was priceless.
How was that? I know I only did part of the first chapter, but I will do all the rest completely, that was kind of experimenting, getting Edward's voice. How did I do? Please leave reviews and tell me.
