“Oh, umm, well. Bella, can I talk to you for a second, in the kitchen?” Charlie asked her.

She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes I'm Prince Charming
But to him I'm just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella

“Okay.” she said, a little puzzled. I peeked into his thoughts. ‘I hope Bella realizes what she’ll be getting herself in to. Especially since she knows what happened to Renee and me. Not that Edward and Bella are me and Renee, but I can’t help but be overprotective of her. Any dad would, wouldn’t they?’

I could hear the entire conversation from where I was standing. “Bella, you can’t be serious.” he said, trying to talk her out of it.

“Dad, I am completely serious. You wanted me to tell you if I was going to do anything major, and I did. Edward and I can’t live without each other. Whether we waited five years or five hours, we’d still get married.” she explained.

I was looking at the various pictures of Bella that were sitting up. There were pictures of Bella in Phoenix (obviously) with a giant Popsicle in her hand, and there were also pictures of her in a Cinderella costume, and her riding her bike.

I leaned in towards those pictures
to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say
"Now, ain't she something, son?"
I said "Yes, she quite a woman"
and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be

“Okay, its apparent there isn’t anything I’m able to do to talk you out of this. Stay here, I’m gonna talk to Edward for a bit.” he told her, and he walked into the room.

“Edward, I’ve already spoken to Bella.” Charlie started. “Obviously I’ve tried to talk her out of this. Don’t get me wrong, you are probably the best thing that has ever happened to her. But after the way she was when you left her, well, any dad would be hesitant to see his daughter go back to the guy who did that to her. But I’m getting used to the fact that Bella has learned from her past, and obviously holds a trust for you that I can’t fathom.
