Preface
Emmett POV
Have you ever had to bare witness to your world crashing?
Have you ever had to realize that what was yours wasn't actually ever yours?
As I stand here and look at my love with shock written on her face, I realize my life is changing. I was so happy that my brother was coming home to meet my beautiful girl. I was so happy to get to share her with someone that I care so much about. I was so happy to finally have my family all together.
"Shit." I muster. It's the only thing that can be voiced at this moment, as it clicks in my head.
I see my mother looking between my Bella and my brother, with confusion on her face. Tears well up in Bella's eyes, and I see her beginning to panic.
She rushes to my side, stands on her tiptoes and whispers in my ear "Baby, we need to leave."
I nod. I don't know what is to come, but I see the hurt on her face and will do anything for her at this moment. She turns and grabs the counter, and bows her head, trying to hide.
"M&M." I yell down the hall with timber. There is no way to avoid what is going to happen next.
I grab coats off the rack and help Bella put her coat on as her body is ran over with sobs. I hear the happiest little feet pound down the hall, followed by 3 sets of heavier feet belonging to my father, sister, and brother-in-law.
My brother gasps when I catch Marie as she runs in and immediately put her coat on. She looks up and understands that something is happening and complies with my silent request to get ready to go. Mason is watching us and is just as quick as his sister and waits patiently until I am done with Marie.
Alice, Jasper and my father try to assess the tension in the air.
No one says a word.
My brother stands in the same spot, pain written on his face, mouth slightly open.
I gather Bella and the kids and start to usher them past Edward and out the door.
"I'll call you guys later." I call out quietly as I shut the door and walk towards the car, dreading what comes next.
