Telling Charlie
Paul and Macy emerged on the beach by Sam and Emily's house. Sharing a smile, they walked up, catching the pack in the middle of their breakfast.
Macy was wearing a sweater with a jean, with some big socks and some boots.
"Wow, you guys missed so much, you're eating away your sorrows."Macy joked, making them turn towards the doorway.
"Welcome back!"Seth called, being the only one not with food in his mouth, making Paul and Macy laugh.
"Thank you, Seth."Macy said while Paul looked at Sam.
"I'm gonna take Macy back home to Charlie's and tell him about our engagement, then I'll come back and we can have a pack meeting in wolf form so you guys can see what happened while we were gone."He said, earning a nod from Sam as he finished what was in his mouth.
"Sounds good and welcome back guys."He said, smiling as Paul and Macy gathered up the things from the campsite to take back home, without tent, as Charlie didn't know about that.
After gathering her belongings, Paul loaded it up into his truck since he had picked her up for her 'girl weekend with Emily' and started the drive back into Forks.
"Are you nervous?"Macy asked, looking over at him as he drove.
"About what, telling Charlie? Not really. I know your mom already sent a picture to your aunt and Uncle Paul last night, but the only one I was actually worried about telling were your friends. Hecate and Sally gave their approval, as did Uncle Paul and Apollo and Ajax liked me well enough as well. Your friends though, they don't really know me all that well and they likely wouldn't hold back any opinions about me. I was scared of telling them because I didn't know if you would break it off if enough of them decided they didn't like me."He admitted, making Macy snort and take his hand.
"Well aren't you glad that you got cleared while we were at camp?"Macy asked, earning a chuckle.
"Oh yeah. Though I've got to say, Clarisse is one terrifying girl and I don't think I want to get on her bad side. She's kinda like the demigod version of Leah."He said and Macy burst out laughing.
"No, that's not a place you want to be, trust me. Clarisse and I hated each other for a while at first, but eventually we came to an interesting friendship. Now, she's like that grumpy sister who claims to hate everyone, even the sibling, who she actually does love but doesn't show it. That much is understandable though, since the last person she showed her friendship with was killed in the Titan War, trying to get her to participate and help out. Now she's pretty closed off to everyone but her boyfriend, Chris, who's a son of Hermes."Macy explained, making his eyes widen.
"That sucks for her, I'm sorry she had to go through that."He said, turning down the street the house was on.
"Yeah, but she doesn't talk about it much anymore, so we don't bring it up. Now, let's go tell my dad, shall we?"Macy asked, earning a booming laugh as they climbed out of the truck.
Paul grabbed her stuff which thankfully fit in one bag and wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked up to the door.
"Dad? I'm an exe murderer here to chop you to bits and eat your food!"Macy called as she entered and heard him laugh in response.
"I'm in the living room, watching a game, so I won't put up match of a fight!"He called back, making Paul shake his head.
It was a game Charlie and Macy played, coming up with ridiculous things to call when they entered the door, it was a thing that Macy and Charlie do ever since Macy was a kid. And since then, the two of them would always call out crazy things. Entering the living room, they found Charlie indeed, sitting on the couch and watching a game, making Macy laugh.
"Hey there, murder victim. I'm the killer, he's gonna be eating the food."Macy said, pointing at Paul who just laughed in response.
"So he will, not that it'll be a change, since he always eats all the food."Charlie said, giving Paul a joking smile.
"Hey, we've got some news to tell you, dad."Macy told him, pushing Paul to sit on the recliner and climbing into his lap, not caring about the eyeball Charlie gave.
"What is it?"He asked, putting the TV on mute, and giving them his full attention.
Macy could see Paul trying to figure out how to word the announcement and rolled her eyes, deciding to be blunt.
"Paul asked me to marry him yesterday, I'm engaged."Macy said, holding up her left hand so he could see the ring. Paul's jaw dropped slightly as he stared at her while Charlie just looked at the ring.
"Are you happy?"Charlie asked, giving his daughter a measured look.
Macy nodded without any hesitation, leaning back into Paul.
"Happier than I've ever been. Paul and I love each other and Mom, Aunt Sally and Uncle Paul approve and gave their blessing. We don't have a date in mind yet, but we are engaged and nothing's gonna stop us from getting married."Macy said, once again, bluntly.
He gave another measured look, this time, including Paul before nodding.
"You have my blessing too. I've seen that Paul treats you right, but I will tell you now, boy. If you make her cry, I will pump you so full of lead, all someone would have to do is touch you and they'd get lead poisoning. You hear me?"He said making Macy smile at how protective he was of her.
"I understand perfectly sir, however, you'd have to get in a very long line that would begin with my beautiful fiancé here."Paul said, pressing a gentle kiss to my cheek.
"As it should be, Macy is not afraid to stand up for herself. I'm happy for you both, congratulations. And I still like you better than Edward. You're a great guy who I know that I can trust with my beautiful daughter."He smiled.
"Also, dad, I wanted to ask you when we found a date for the date, would you, along with Ajax, walk me down the aisle?"Macy asked him.
"As if you have to ask, of course I would."He smiled again before leaning back on the couch and unmuting the TV.
Macy smiled as she snuggled into Paul, turning to watch the game as well. Everything was perfect now, no battles, now wars, no quests. Too bad the fucking Fates couldn't keep it that way.
A/N So this is the end of Eclipse chapters. We will now be moving to Breaking Dawn.
