We played with Emma for a couple hours and Jacob showed back up at the house. When he walked in Edward immediately glared at him. The four of us had been playing with Emalie on the floor. When he stood up, Emmett quickly intervened and held Edward back unsure of what was going on. I picked Emalie up on the floor and held her in my arms.

"What's going on?" I asked looking between the three tense boys.

"Jacob made a decision. Without us." Edward snarled.

"Okay, okay. Let's just calm down." I looked around and saw Alice walk by the room. "Alice, can you take Emma please?" She stopped and her face lit up.

"Yep. Come on, sweet pea." Alice cooed and took her from my arms.

Edward, Bella, Emmett, Jacob and I went outside.

"Okay, now. Someone tell me what is going on." I crossed my arms looked between the boys with a raised eyebrow.

"Jacob, told Charlie that you're alive and home." Edward said glaring at Jacob. Bella and I gasped and looked at Jacob shocked. Emmett glared at Jacob and huffed.

"Look, I solved a problem." Jacob said simply. "You were leaving." He looked at me.

"You don't even realize the danger you've just put him in." I said angrily.

"The Volturi will kill anyone who knows about us." Bella said to him.

"No, I didn't tell him about you. Just me." Jacob explained as if that made things better. "I only said you were both different."

"You told him (Y/n) and Emmett adopted a baby." Edward said with a sigh, putting two fingers to the brim of his nose.

"You what?" Emmett said wide eyed.

"Jacob, my dad is never going to just let that go! Seriously? What the hell were you thinking?" I complained.

"Did you ever even consider the physical pain you'll put Bella and (Y/n) through? Bella's still a newborn, (Y/n)'s been changed for four days. It'll be like sticking a white hot branding iron down their throats. And that's assuming they can control their thirst. They're both new to all this!" Edward said with a growl, stepping forward and Emmett hesitantly put a hand in front of him.

"Look," Jacob sighed. "Charlie's been in hell. And I know you'll both be much happier with him in your lives."

"Jacob, don't try and pretend you're doing this for her, or for them. You did this for yourself." Emmett snorted angrily.

"Sorry you feel that way because... he'll be here in ten minutes." Jacob said calmly.

"WHAT?!" Bella and I shouted.

I grumbled obscenities to myself and threw my hands in the air, walking off the porch to the forest and took a deep breath to calm myself. Running my hands through my hair and a few deep breaths later, I walked back onto the porch where the others were watching me curiously.

"You need to tell me right now, exactly what you told my dad. Specially about Emalie." I demanded, needing to know the most important detail I cared about.

Jacob quickly explained everything. He explained that he told my Dad that while I was sick I found out I couldn't have kids, being that was something I always wanted. So, when I got better Emmett and I decided to adopt a baby girl. I told him he clearly didn't think that through because Emalie looks so much like me he was sure to notice. He then explained that Charlie only wants to know the bare minimum. At least that was what he told him about the wolf thing.

Bella and I complained when we made our way back inside that my eyes were blood red still and Bella's were still a mixture between red and gold.

"These are going to irritate your eyes at first." Alice said putting (Y/E/C) contacts into my eyes.

"The main thing is not to move too fast." Carlisle said with a sympathetic smile.

"Try taking a seat. Crossing your legs." Esme softly told us both.

I ended up speeding to the couch making it shift across the floor some. Bella did slightly better but the chair still knocked into the wall. We both awkwardly crossed our legs and looked up at our family members.

"Maybe a tad slower." Esme nodded.

"And blink at least three times a minutes." Alice said. I fluttered my eyelashes, not even realizing that was something I hadn't been doing up until now.

"Good." Alice and Esme both said with awkward smiles.

"For a cartoon character." Jacob scoffed with a smile.

"You have no room to talk." I pointed at him seriously. "We are in this mess because of you."

"Hold your breath. It will help with the thirst. (Y/n)," Carlisle turned to me. "You're going to be under pressure during this, so like we talked about, immense concentration is what it takes to make your gift work. If it does you should be fine. But I don't want you to rely solely on that." I nodded at him and the family all looked at me curiously, except Emmett.

"What gift?" Bella asked.

"I have a rare gift. It's compulsion. So, I can will myself to do things. But it's not supposed to be easy. I was able to turn off my thirst for human blood once, so hopefully I can do it again. So I don't hurt Dad." I explained to Bella and the others. Giving a small glare at Jacob during the last part.

"You'll be okay." Edward said looking between us both. "Oh, don't forget to move your shoulders so it looks like you're breathing."

"And don't sit so straight. Humans don't do that." Rosalie told us.

"Okay, okay. We got it." Bella stood up from her seat. "Move around, slouch, blink."

I stood up and walked next to her, grabbing ahold of her hand. Emmett walked over with Emalie in his arms and kissed my forehead.

"You'll be fine." He whispered into my ear. "We'll be right in the other room."

"I love you." I said.

"And I love you."

We both looked down at Emalie and smiled at her. I held her for a minute and calmed my nerves.

"You're about to meet someone very special, love." I told her.

"But sweetheart, you can't tell him things like you tell us, okay?" Emmett leaned close and looked into her eyes. She reached out and touched his face. "Exactly." He answered her. "He's a human so he's going to make you thirsty. But, you mustn't bite him, he won't heal like Jacob."

"She bites Jacob?" I asked looking up curiously.

"Yeah, if one of us don't get her food fast enough to her mouth she does. But she's not venomous so it doesn't hurt him. Rose and I still think it's pretty funny though." Bella chuckled.

"Well, you'll be careful won't you Emalie?" I looked down at her and she smiled. She touched my face making me laugh. "No, no. I don't care if you bite Jacob. That's fine." Jacob chuckled from behind me.

I heard the rumbling of a car engine entering the driveway. I sighed and kissed Emalie's forehead handing her back to Emmett. The family left the room leaving Bella and I to take a seat on the couch next to each other and wait for Dad to walk inside. Edward waited by the living room doorway along with Jacob.

"Hello, Charlie." Carlisle said as he opened the door.

"Where are they?" Dad asked worriedly.

I could hear his heartbeat ringing in my ears. I let out a breath to see what I could smell. Of course, he smelled delicious. I was able to will it once and it worked. But why couldn't it just have stayed that way, like a one time wish for all human's? I sighed and closed my eyes focusing on the sound of him walking up the stairs. His scent getting closer and closer. I needed immense concentration.

Please don't let me hurt him. I would never forgive myself. Please, please, please. I don't want to think he smells good, make it go away like it did for Jacob. Just make the scent disappear. I thought the words hard but nothing had happened, I could still smell him. If my heart was beating it would have been erratic.

I opened my eyes and saw him walk into the doorway of the living room.

"Bella, (Y/n)." Dad said looking between us.

"Hi, Dad." Bella and I both said together. His face nearly broke my heart. He looked like he could cry just seeing us both sitting here right in front of him.

"Are you okay?" He choked out looking at me.

"Never better." I smiled softly. "Healthy as a horse."

Carlisle, Jacob, Edward and Dad all looked between each other. Dad turned with a pained face and looked between me and Bella.

"You guys don't turn into an animal, too, do you?" Dad asked awkwardly. We both shook our heads no, light smiles on our faces. Jacob chuckled.

"They wish they were that awesome." Jacob clapped him on the shoulder.

"Let's give them some privacy." Edward said after looking at us and we nodded in silent agreement.

I could still smell the fresh scent of his blood and it was an intense craving. I could hear every thump of his anxious heart beat. The boy's walked out and Dad walked forward. Bella and I scooted over to allow him to take a seat next to us on the couch. He sat directly next to me and the drumming of his blood pumping was loud in my ears.

Don't hurt him, don't hurt him, make it so he doesn't smell appealing, make it so he doesn't smell badly. I chanted over and over in my brain. The smell seemed to lessen. Almost to completely disappear. I moved my shoulders in relief.

"Jake said that this... this was necessary." Dad looked between us seemingly confused. "What does that mean?"

"I really think it would be better..." Bella started before Dad's brow furrowed and he cut her off.

"I wanna know what happened with you two. Things were good until they weren't. You were sick, you stopped talking to me." He said looking at us both.

"Dad, we can't tell you." Bella said.

"Well, I think I deserve something. Some kind of explanation." He answered her quickly.

"Dad... You do." I told him softly. "But if you really need one. We can't stay..."

He stood up from his seat in his anger.

"Oh, come on. No! No more going away. No more disappearing. And I don't need to know everything. Like I told Jacob, need to know only. The less I know the better." Dad stated firmly.

"Well, then you're going to just have to trust that for whatever reason, I'm alright. Bella's alright. I'm better now, then I was. Can you just live with that?" I asked him with a desperation to my voice.

"Can I live with that?" Dad gulped. I heard every second of it and I thought harder to myself then before praying that the smell and sound would go away and suddenly the smell was gone once again. "I don't know, (Y/n). I mean, I just watched your best friend, a kid I've known his entire life turn into a very large dog. My daughter's look like my daughters. But don't." He said pained and I stood up from my seat. Bella watched me curiously.

"Can you please just believe that I will tell you anything you need to know?" I gave him the same eyes I always have when trying to get my way and to get him to understand. He looked at me for a moment and then away with a sigh.

"And I don't need to know this?" He looked back, raising his eyebrow.

"No." Bella stood up and came closer to us with a smile. "You really don't."

"Well... I'm not going to lose either of you again." Dad shook his head. "I can't." He whispered trying to hold back tears.

"Well, then you won't." I smiled and put a hand on his arm.

"We promise." Bella said softly.

Dad looked at us both, tears ready to fall and he pulled us both into his arms hugging us. I wrapped my arms around him and then only thing I could smell was just regular old Dad smell. It was soothing enough to make me sigh happily. I felt him adjust his arms around us, probably realizing how cold we were. Making him hug us tighter.

"I missed you, (Y/n/n), Bells. So much." He sniffled.

"We missed you, Dad." I choked.

"We love you." Bella told him.

I could hear Emmett's distinct footsteps and the small heartbeat coming from my daughter. I pulled away and smiled up at my Dad's face, leaving his arm's and walking over to the doorway. Meeting Emmett and Emalie there. She was dressed in a little blue dress with tights underneath. Her black hair brushed forward, looking absolutely adorable.

"Dad." I said softly and he turned around.

"Charlie." Emmett smiled, holding Emalie in his arms as she sat forward. "This is Emalie." Dad looked at her confused for a minute as Bella walked closer and stood on Emmett's other side. Cooing at her. I grabbed her little toes and rubbed them smiling up at my Dad. Emalie gave him a once over and tilted her head slightly.

"Uhm," Dad cleared his throat. "This is..."

"Our daughter." Emmett said for him as Charlie choked on the words.

Emma looked over at me and I smiled at her. Her little hand touched my face and she asked me who this was.

"Right." Dad breathed. "The adoption."

"Emalie, this is Mommy's dad. Your Grandpa Charlie." I told her softly, hoping he wouldn't freak out at being called a grandpa.

"Emalie?" He asked curiously and she smiled, my same smile, up at him at the sound of her name from his mouth. Melting all our hearts. I could tell he noticed though.

"Yep. Emalie Renesmee Cullen." I introduced her fully. He looked at her and a smile crept it's way onto his face. He studied her for a minute and Emma reached one hand out towards Dad. He gave her his hand and she held onto his fingers.

"She's got your eyes, (Y/n)." Dad said suddenly and looked at me. "Her smile's just like your too."

I smiled awkwardly at him and he gave me a look and sighed.

"Need to know, I guess?"

I nodded my head and he accepted it. Emalie gurgled little baby noises at him capturing his attention again. He looked lovingly at her which filled me with joy. Bella left the room and Dad looked at me again.

"Uh, you know... I'm not sure how much of this we should tell Renee about all this stuff..." He said quietly.

"No, I agree. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. I am glad you're here, Dad."

"Jacob mentioned something about you leaving..." He stated softly and I sighed. I took Emalie from Emmett's arms and we walked over to the couch to sit. Dad looked at her and let her hold his fingers, waiting for an explanation.

"Dad, I didn't want to. Specially if there was anyway around it." I explained carefully. "That's sort of why we're still here."

"He said you could stay for a while, but only if I'm tough enough, and if I can keep my mouth shut."

I internally growled at Jacob's stupidity and the thought of him talking to my dad that way.

"Yes... Though I can't promise that we'll never leave, Dad. It's really just complicated."

"Right. Need to know." He stated and I nodded. Dad smiled down at Emalie. "You'll visit though if you have to go?"

"I promise, Dad. Now that you know, just, enough. I think this can work. I'll keep you as close as we safely can."

He bit hip bottom lip and looked at the now sleeping Emalie in my arms. He touched a gentle finger to Emalie's pink cheek and stroked it gently.

"She sure looks a lot like you." He whispered. I kept a casual face and looked at him.

"Uhm, I think she kinda look's more like Emmett..." I hesitated. "But her black hair's getting some curls... Like your's and mine..."

He snorted and admired her some more.

"I guess she does, huh?" He looked up at me with a soft smile. "Do I ever get to hold her?"

I held my breath and nodded. He made a cradle with his arms that I slipped her into carefully. I smelled the air, out of curiosity and I still didn't smell anything except Dad's regular smell and Emalie's sweet scent. When I brushed his arm I could feel the beat of his heart, which I struggled slightly with but pulled away smiling.

"She's sturdy." He huffed, adjusting her in his arms. I furrowed my brows and looked at her and back to him. She felt light as feather to me, but I guess that's just my vampire strength... He looked at me face and he must have noticed my expression. "Sturdy is good. She'll need to be tough to be around all this craziness." He bounced her up and down lightly. "She really is the prettiest baby I ever saw. That includes you and Bella. Sorry kiddo."

"It's okay." I chuckled. "We know just how enchanting she is."

"Can I come back tomorrow?" Dad asked curiously.

"Of course you can." I said, as his stomach rumbled loudly.

"Alright." He shifted her back to me. He lightly kissed her forehead and she stirred slightly. "You better be here tomorrow, (Y/n)."

"I will be, Dad. I promise." I laughed.

"Good. Now, help me find your sister and I'll get going." I nodded and we walked into the kitchen where most to the family was waiting. They said goodbye to each other and we walked him out.

Charlie Swan left the house in his police cruiser.
