I don't know if this's been already posted yet and I also don't know if I'm right -but I ust thought about The Meadow in TW.

B&E match perfectly with their clothing and they become a pair (couple?) on the meadow - the meadow which is a perfect circle.

For me this is a hint to the end of BD:

Bella and Edward being

one body
one mind
one soul

the full circle.

Does that make sense?

In a wedding ceremony, the ring symbolizes that unending circle. BissKiss, I think you are on to something here.

A while back, I posted in a "Charlie" thread that I think got thrown away with the Pre-Release Breaking Dawn discussions.

My questions was. "Does anyone besides me believe that Charlie was beginning to put two and two together at the end of Eclipse?"

By now, we all know that Charlie would just as soon remain in the dark about most things rather than have to confront them.

I think the first clue that Charlie saw something different in Carlisle was in Twilight when he vehemently defends Calisle against Billy's superstitions. Bella says something to the effect that it was the longest speech that she'd ever heard Charlie make on any subject. Forks hospital has at least one other doctor we know of besides Carlisle so I felt that Charlie must have sensed something different about Carlisle and his abilities as a doctor. This reminded me of Edward's mother and how she begs Carlisle to use those abilities to save Edward. I think, had Charlie had the opportunity, he'd have asked Carlisle to do the same for Bella. I think this may have been why Charlie was so accepting of the changes he saw in Bella. He knew that whatever needed to be done was done to save Bella's life.

I also think we were given a good bit of foreshadowing that Charlie was going to find out that Jake is a wolf. At the end of Eclipse, Charlie and Bella are standing in the kitchen discussing Jake's "accident".

Charlie says, "Weird day today", and goes on to describe how nervous Billy was and how he turns the boat back to the harbor when he hears the wolves howling "like they were calling to him personally". In Billy's house, Charlie hears the howling start again right outside the house and says, "Course I forgot all about that till just this minute, 'cause that's when Jake made it home. One minute it was that wolf yowling, and then you couldn't hear it anymore - Jake's cussing drowned it right out."

So, I think that Charlie was, in his own way, starting to believe that something strange was happening in Forks but not trying too hard because he, as he says, "doesn't put much stock in that superstitious crap." I think the suspicions he already had helped him to accept what Jake showed him and accept how Bella had changed. He just needed to process it in his own way without too many details. Smile
