BREAKING DAWN: Chapter 25-Favor

CHAPTER SUMMARY: Jacob lets the cat out of the bag to Charlie in what is more of Meyer's lazy attempts to solve problems.

NOTES/THOUGHTS/REACTIONS:
We open to after the sex and suddenly Bella remembers she has a kid! Maybe she should have thought of that before she left? But anyway, she thinks of Renesmee and more angsting is to be had as a result. Yay.
She and Edward find cloths (more mention of super girly Alice finding perfectly fitting cloths and Bella hating them because you know she totally hates being pampered) and go to visit their baby. I'm going to go ahead and call it right now: Renesmee is going to be spoiled. All the behavior that Meyer has written about here have the makings of a spoiled brat. But of course, I'm sure Renesmee won't end up that way ;rolls eyes;.
To make sure once more that we don't get the idea that Bella is in any way equal now that she's a vamp, Meyer solves yet another problem through a lazy solution and without Bella getting any say. Jacob left earlier and told Charlie about him being a werewolf. Being Meyer of course, she has the character tell it word for word instead of just letting us figure it out on our own. Bella is suddenly super worried about Charlie (again, I call bull because her worry about him certainly didn't keep her from becoming a vampire did it?). Long story short: Charlie knows about the supernatural (but not about the Cullens being vamps) and that he has a granddaughter of sorts now. For some reason Bella is shocked he actually wants to meet her. Again I'm angry at Bella because Charlie has shown time and time again that he is a stand-up guy who will stand by his daughter no matter what, even if she doesn't deserve it. Which frankly, Bella doesn't.
So Bella prepares to meet Charlie and this suddenly sets off a "lets all praise Bella!" scene with the Cullens where Alice and Edward gush about how gorgeous she is now that she's a vampire. Someone please explain to me again how this series is supposed to be "deep"?
Then there's more wierdness as they remind her how to act human. My god, really? She's only been a vampire a few days, I thought vampires did human like things out of habit? Now you're telling me they don't? MAKE UP YOUR MIND! It's habit, or it's not habit. Which is it?
So Charlie shows up and I'm actually kind of looking forward to this because Charlie is the only likable character in this series and he's been frankly treated like shit by his daughter, her boyfriend and his family, and the author. I want a big scene where he calls Bella on her crap and tells her she screwed up and that he loves her and will stand by her but that doesn't excuse all the lying she did. I want this scene. I'm not in any way expecting it.
I was right not to. Charlie comes just looks hurt and Bella goes "it's for your own good and I'm really sorry!" and that quickly turns into cooing over how cute Renesmee is. UGH. Charlie basically says okay and he doesn't want to know the rest and then as he's a man, has his attention diverted by sports.
I've mentioned I HATE this series, right?

WORD LIST: artfully, divot, abashed, spastically,
GENERAL ANNOYANCES: Edward smiled, but he didn't laugh; he was a strong man.-Um...what? How does not laughing make you a strong man? Why does this even matter in the circumstance it's said? This entire sentance is stupid and makes no sense.
I could feel Emmett's silent laughter behind me, sending vibrations through the foundations of the house.-Emmett's power is now to cause earthquakes when he moves?
