As Carlisle pulls up to the house I see my father is home and I grow nervous. Carlisle senses my nervousness because he suddenly grabs my hand and gives me a small but reassuring squeeze. He smiles at me and I smile back then he gets out of the car and opens my door like a gentleman. "Why thank you." I whisper because I am afraid someone will hear me. "My pleasure." I chuckle at his statement and ask him. "What do you work at chick fila now?" This causes him to chuckle. "Come on Sophie.. now your just stalling." My smile drops because I know he is right. I am stalling. "Carlisle I'm afraid." I tell him honestly and his eyes soften. "Don't be sweetheart.. I'm right here with you." Nodding my head I grab his hand and we walk up to my front door. However when we reach the door it is already open and I see my dad staring at us.. staring at our hands that are currently enter locked. Carlisle greets my dad and let's go Of my hand to shake his. "Mr.Swan I believe Sophie and I have something we would like to talk to you about." He tells my dad. This causes my dad to step to the side and let us through the doorway. "Dr.Cullen I do hope you are aware my daughter is mute." He reply's rudely. Carlisle only smiles and we all take a seat in the den. "Mr.Swan before you start to say anything please hear Sophie out." My father raises an eyebrow but nods his head. It's now or never I think to myself. Deciding the best way to handle this is tough so I go with the whole rip the bandaid off choice. "Dad Carlisle and I are dating." I tell him my voice cracking ever so slightly. "What the hell!" My dad shouts in surprise.

Not the best choice of words I suppose.
