The next morning, Jake and I came down into the living room to find Dad, Emmett and Seth lounging around. Seth was by the window though, staring out at Rosalie playing with Renesmee outside.

A few minutes later, Bella and Edward came in.

"Where's Renesmee?" Bella asked.

"Blondie stole her. Why do you think Seth's by the window?" Jacob teased. I looked over at Seth. Seeing him all adoring and caring towards Renesmee always brought a smile to my face. I don't have to look into the future to know that he'll be a great boyfriend to her someday. They're both so pure and kind.

"Wow back so soon? Break a lot of stuff?" Emmett commented on Bella and Edward's first night at their little house. Jake and I smirked at them.

"Emmett, no." Bella said seriously. Then the phone rang.

"Is that Charlie?" Bella asked.

"He's been calling twice a day." Edward informed her.

"He's in pretty rough shape." Jacob added.

"Eventually we'll have to tell him you didn't make it." Dad stated.

"He needs to mourn Bella" Edward said. That got Seth, Jacob and I a little confused.

"Okay, we'll do it tomorrow." Bella finished.

"I'm gonna miss this place." Emmett said standing up.

"We'll come back. We always do." Dad said also standing up.

"Wait, nobody said anything about leaving." I told them.

"Once people believe Bella's dead, we can't risk anyone seeing her." Dad said to me. I became a little angry.

"So we're just gonna disappear?" I questioned them.

"Avalei, we don't have another choice." Edward replied. I looked at Jacob and Seth. They both thought of the same thing.

We have to tell Charlie.

--

Jacob drove us to Charlie's house and we found him in the backyard, doing some wood work.

"Hey Charlie." I greeted. Jacob and Seth also said hey.

"Hey, you guys heard anything?" Charlie asked.

"Charlie, Bella is....uh..." I started but I didn't know how to put this. I couldn't tell him the secret.

"No she's not." Charlie stumbled, thinking that Bella's dead.

"No, no, no. I mean, she's fine." I stammered out.

"She's back home and she's feeling better." Jacob added.

"Why didn't you say so? That's great." Charlie looked relieved and took off his gloves and started to walk away.

"Wait, there's something you need to see first." I called out to him.

"I need to see Bella." Charlie stated.

"Look, in order for Bella to get better, she had to change." I sugarcoated it.

"What do you mean change?" Charlie asked. I looked over at Jacob, he nodded.

"Here goes nothing." Jacob said while taking off his jacket then his shirt.

"What the hell are you doing?" Charlie asked, a little weirded out that Jacob was undressing right in front of us.

"You don't live in a world you think you do." Jacob said, giving his clothes to me.

"Jacob, put your clothes on" Charlie ordered.

Jacob was getting his belt undone and pulling his pants down, before he pulled his underwear down, he spoke, "Now this may seem strange. Really strange but, stranger things happen every day."

"Trust us." I stared at Charlie, then Jacob started shaking and erupted into his wolf. Charlie backed up, scared and fell to the ground.

Jacob growled at first but laid down, calmly in front of Charlie, whimpering to say he means no harm.

"Look, we solved a problem. We were leaving. You know we can't leave here, this is our home. What did you expect us to do?" I said sternly at my family, Jacob held me from behind and Seth stood next to us.

Bella stepped up to us, "You don't realize the danger you've put him in. The Volturi will kill anyone who knows about us."

"Bella, they don't even know about me. And we didn't tell Charlie about you. Just what Jacob and Seth are. And half of me. We only said that you were different." I explained to Bella and the others. They still looked disappointed in me.

"Yeah, and that we have a niece who we adopted." Edward added.

"I mean seriously you guys, he's not just gonna let that go." Bella said to us.

"Did you consider the physical pain he'll put Bella through? It'll be like sticking a white hot branding iron down her throat. And that's assuming she can control her thirst." Edward remarked.

"She will be able to control it. She's been doing well with me and Renesmee." They still looked at me upset, I sighed, "Look, Charlie's been in hell Bella. And I know you'll be much happier with him in your life. I'm not doing this just for Jake and I or for Seth and Renesmee. Its for all of us." I explained calmly.

They nodded, "Oh and he'll be here in 10 minutes." Jacob added. Making Bella and Edward say "What?" at the same time.

---

"These will irritate your eyes at first." Alice said, placing brown contacts into Bella's eyes.

"The main thing is not to move too fast." Dad advised Bella.

"Try taking a seat. Crossing your legs." Mom suggested. Bella got up and zoomed to a seat across the room, crossing her legs.

"Maybe a tad slower next time." Mom commented.

"And blink at least 3 times a minute." Alice said and Bella blinked more than 3 times.

"Good." Alice complimented.

"Yeah, for a cartoon character." Jacob mumbled. I elbowed him as we sat on the couch, Bella was getting human lessons for when Charlie comes over.

"Hold your breath. It will help with the thirst." Dad advised.

"Just don't forget to move your shoulders so it looks like you're breathing." Edward added. Bella did as said.

"And don't sit so straight. Humans don't do that." Rosalie added, Bella slumped then stood up.

"Okay I got it. Move around, blink, slouch." Bella listed. That's when we all heard a car pull up to the house.

"Good luck." Mom wished as we all dispersed from the living room, leaving Bella alone. Dad, Jacob and I went to go greet Charlie.

"Hello Charlie." Dad greeted, opening the door.

"Where's Bella?" He asked stepping in, we guided him towards the living room.

"Bella." Charlie called.

"Hi dad." Bella greeted.

"Are you okay?" Charlie asked. I can tell he's still a little shaken up from what we showed him earlier.

"Never better. Healthy as a horse." She smiled slightly looking at us a bit.

"You don't turn into an animal too, do you?" Charlie questioned, making Jacob, Dad and I chuckle.

"She wishes she was that awesome." Jacob teased.

"Lets give them some privacy shall we?" Dad suggested and Jacob grabbed my hand and we went downstairs, leaving Bella with her dad.

A little while later, Charlie went home. I'd say their talk went well. He even met Renesmee, taking the bait that she's adopted. They're deal was that he'd just go with whatever happens, without questioning anything.

After, the family came back and complimented Bella on her time with Charlie.

"I told you you'd do great." I hugged her, hoping she'd forgive me and the guys for telling Charlie by now.

"Yeah thanks, it was nice to see him again. You guys were right." She told Jacob, Seth and I.

"Well done Bella. Never seen a newborn show that kind of restraint." Jasper commented.

"I'm not sure she is a newborn. She's so tame." Emmett taunted, making Bella intrigued. I know where this is going. One of Emmett's challenges.

"Emmett, don't antagonize her. She's the strongest one in the house...well besides me." I giggled.

"Please." Emmett snorted.

That's when we all were outside and Emmett carried in a big boulder and placed it on the ground, cracking his knuckles, smirking. They were going to arm wrestle.

The family and Jacob's little pack surrounded the two. They positioned themselves on either side of the boulder.

"Don't hurt yourself Emmett." Edward joked. They locked hands and Jasper counted it down. Once he said 3, they were at it. It lasted a couple of seconds until Bella pushed Emmett's arm down, breaking a part of the boulder. She won.

We all clapped and chuckled.

"Did you see that? Thank you" Bella boasted, punching the rest of the boulder.

I then saw Bella walk off and found an opening through the trees, a patch of sunlight shown through. She stood there for awhile, letting her skin sparkle. She's finally embraced her vampire self.
