His Heartbreak, Her Daughter [Edward Cullen] forty-two.

Needless to say, dad was not thrilled.

“Dad, where are you going?” I called after him. I had told him of my feelings towards Edward and he hadn’t said a word, just gotten up and began walking. “Please, don’t you have anything to say? Dad…” I reached out to touch his arm but he quickly pulled it away.

“Right now Aly…” He said, not meeting my sight. “I have nothing to say on the subject because I may say something I’ll regret later.”

I felt heartache then. I didn’t want this. I wanted my family to be able to co-exist with my boyfriend and his, I mean they had to right? They’d gotten along this far…

“So you don’t approve?”

“Aly, I don’t want to talk about this right now.” He began walking away again, but no one could escape me.

“Well I do!” I swung around him, eyes tearing up again. “I haven’t spoken to you for what feels like forever and we always talk… I need to know you’re okay with this dad…”

“Dammit Aly!” He snapped. “This isn’t something you can just dump on a person and immediately ask them to accept!” He breathed deep and turned around, running a hand through his hair as he tried to calm down. He continued facing the other way and spoke softly, “I understand how strong an imprint is… And I know you can’t change the way you feel… But I have had problems… To hear that my own daughter is meant to be with… I have to go before I say anything you’ll hate me for.”

“I won’t hate you dad-“ I began but he kissed my cheek and continued walking.

“I’ll see you later hon. I love you.”

I turned and watched him start to run away and then morph into a wolf as he ran between the trees, not even removing his trousers.

My own father… He didn’t approve of the love of my life. I wish… Well I couldn’t wish it wasn’t Edward I’d fallen for because nothing felt more right in all the world. But… I just wanted everyone to be happy, I wanted everything to work out. I wanted my new life to fit in with my old one.

Dad had morphed into a wolf to escape having to feel his feelings, I would do the same. Feelings were simpler as wolves. Maybe the answer would come to me in that from.

It took quite a while for me to change, I hadn’t been a… whatever I was for that long and changing forms at will wasn’t something tat just came naturally. You had to practice at it.

Eventually I got it though and I went running around the Cullen’s property, always making sure I stayed away from humanity at the faintest sign of them. I used all my senses to keep them safe, I could hear them from miles away and smell them on the wind. I wasn’t hungry after devouring everything the Cullen’s had in their house but at the first ache in my throat, I was worried about slipping again.

From my far right I heard the light patter of some type of four legged animal, I kept close to the ground as I sprinted towards it. There I found a deer. I could go for a deer.

Apparently, hunting came as a natural talent. And it felt good. The thrill of the chase and all that. Catching your own meal… It was a better feeling then I thought it would be.

After I was done with my meal I lay basking in the moon, I had overate and had a bit of a stomach ache. But I was so full and so content, my heart still racing from the chase… I could lie here happily and for a minute totally forget what I had run away from…

“Well aren’t you a vision.” Rosalie had a laugh in her voice. I had heard them coming, I was just too lazy to acknowledge it.

“You look happy.” Esme sounded happy about this.

“I am happy.” I said and was surprised by my human voice, I looked down, completely unaware I’d changed back.

Alice laughed, “Unaware you were au natural?” She had a new dress for me. “Good thing we came and made the boys stay home.”

“Thanks.” Oddly, I didn’t feel that embarrassed of, as Alice had put it, my au natural state. I mean they were girls too and… maybe it was a werewolf thing. Sean had said nakedness was the most natural state in the world… It was a statement I had tried to block out. But it still didn’t mean I spent any extra time lounging around in my birthday suit. Quickly, I pulled on the dress.

“So the morphing seems to be going well if you don’t even notice it.” Alice said.

“I suppose it is.” I said. “Did I stay out past curfew or something?”

“Yes, You’re grounded.” Rosalie instructed.

“Okay.” I nodded and thinking about grounding reminded me of my parents. Which reminded me why I was out here. I sat back up and put my feet flat together, hoping they would notice I looked down and ask me what was wrong, instead of me just going into it and seeming self obsessed… Also, I think one of my feet was bigger than the other by more than it should have.

“Is something wrong Aly?” Esme asked, pushing back my hair over my shoulder.

“Do you think… What do you think your father’s would have thought of you husbands?” I asked.

“Ah,” Rosalie said, “Now I is better we came out here. Time for girl chat.”

“I suppose mine would have liked Carlisle very much.” Esme said.

“Who wouldn’t want a doctor in the family?” I attempted a bad joke.

“In my time and family hierarchy, It was important to marry well.” Rosalie rolled her eyes. “I don’t think Emmett is what my father would have wanted imagined me marrying. His family social standing was lower than mine.”

“But of course it really wouldn’t have mattered.” Alice gave Rose a mock look.

“Of course not, Emmett is the love of my life.” Rosalie stated with love and assurance.

I hadn’t expected Alice to answer, but she did.

“I think my father didn’t care who I married- But any father who cared an ounce for his daughter would step back with gritted teeth and let his daughter love who she wanted.”

“Here, here.” Esme and Rosalie cheered.

They gave me enough to think about. So whatever dad felt… Hopefully he’d learn to accept and somehow it would work out. I would do whatever it took to make it easier on him. And when I returned to the Cullen’s home I wrapped my arms around Edward and didn’t let go until I fell asleep. Somehow, it would work out.
