Well I Didn't See That Coming

Charlie

Being a dad was the best thing I have ever done in my life. And I love my baby girl with everything. And it was the saddest day in my life to have her taken from me, by her mom.

I did want to get custody of Bella, but I knew that Bella would have probably have hated me. So we split up custody. Bella ended up with Rene more than me.

I mostly just had bella in the summer once she was ready to walk. Rene had wanted me to go to them to see Bella but I wouldn't budge. True it wasn't a secret how much Rene had hated Forks. Everyday that I had known her, she made it known. And because I didn't want to come out and I loved her; I held on to hope that I could love her and make her happy so that she would love Forks, and want to stay.

No such luck.

But she knew that if Bella wasn't sent to me she would get reported and I would get full custody of Bella. And she wanted to hold Bella over my head so she sent her to me.

But as Bella grew, her dis like for Forks grew. And so did my sadness. And at 13 bella refused to come to me. Yelling at me how much she hated coming to a dead town. Rene was having a say in things. But I didn't say that. I agreed to meet her somewhere else and she won't have to come back to Forks.

It broke my heart.

So when she called asking to live with me; I have been over the moon. I would have flown her out that day if she would have asked me to.

And once I got off the phone with her I think I cried for like an hour. Then I called Sam over. I explained about the comfort in Sam. Everyone I loved would finally be here with me.

I would finally have a family I long for with Renee. Only it was Sam and not Renée that had my heart.

Sam, my lover, my partner in every way. My friend when I needed him. He was just a kid when I first met him on the Rez. Billy and Harry had asked him on a fishing trip with us. He was a shy kid but at the time but I thought about him, just a kid. It wasn't until the 18th birthday that I started really feeling him as more.

He started looking at me as Moore. But he was in a relationship with a young girl. Leah. Harry's daughter. And neither one of us wanted to overstep those boundaries. So of course I didn't see him that much of the time.

I heard Harry say Sam and Leah had called it quits. I couldn't help with my ass when I heard the news. Even though it seemed as though Sam was breaking leah's heart over me. Or at least that's what most people thought. According to Sam they were having problems and that is why I never saw him.

I pretty much lost all contact with him till the night of his transformation. When his work made an introduction. Harry called me, because a very crying Leah had a fight with Sam then he disappeared. Not knowing where to start looking they ended up calling me for help to look for him.

My guess is they were hoping that he was with me. Maybe not hope but they thought.

For an hour first. Before most guys had gone home. Me and a few others keep searching. Well into the morning. It was then that I decided to quit. It was obvious that family funeral home near Forks or La Push.

Around 3 AM I was getting ready for bed when I heard whining. Almost like a dog that was winded. I looked out my window and what I thought had my back and we walk in the window and grabbing a gun. But when I pointed the gun at the massive wolf; But the wine only got louder and louder. Then it lowered head turning toward the woods.

It was almost as if the animal was trying to communicate with me. Not knowing that it was Sam at the time, I was frightened for my life.

Finally it started into the woods and came out as Sam. Is it right now so I can't like I said Sam. He was a shape shifter, protector. The legend turned out to be right. In the weeks that followed Sam had broken up with Leah and Head came out to everyone on the Rez. Well everyone that knew him.

But the news did not go very well and he was forced to stay out of Forks and was basically supervised when ever he was out and about. And I felt guilty. He later told me everything was okay and that nothing was going to keep him away for me.

He explained the imprint. And over time we started to date each other. And only after his 21st birthday did I make a move on him.

As Bella coming approached I had become nervous. No one outside of the town knew my life partner was male. So her finding out was scaring me.
As it turned out Bella didn't care. She was happy for me and loved me. I think I was smiling and crying all at the same time.

After everyone was there later it was like everything was right in the world. Sure Bella and I would have to talk more I was just happy to have her with me again.

I sat next to Sam on the couch later that night so happy to finally have my little girl back with me. Her mother couldn't take her away from me now.

San did remind me about the house we bought. And assured me that Bella would be at home there. Now to yell her.
