The house warmed quickly. Bella woke up when her cell phone alarm went off at 4am, jumping up then noticing how warm the house was "I thought that thing was broken" shaking her head she was certainly glad it was on now. It was freezing outside. Scurring around to clothes in a suitcase, she grabbed a pink set of scrubs and went to the bathroom. The shower was really hot, steaming up the bathroom. Bella bathed and washed her hair. Bella hurried and dried her hair then applied her makeup perfectly before putting on her nice fitting scrubs. Grabbing a scarf placing it around her neck for extra protection from the cold then slipped on a jacket, zipping up the front and pulled the hoodie over her head "I'm ready to go now." She almost forgot, running to the fridge getting a tv dinner for her lunch time, placing it in a plastic grocery store bag, then proceeded out the front door with keys in her hand shutting and locking the door behind her.

"Good morning Bella!" a deep friendly voice called out from a chair on the porch. She jumped at the sight of a a dark haired, golden eye, muscle man sitting there in jeans and a dark green jacket zipped up with a smile "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I am driving you to work this morning. Dad told us you were riding a bike because of your car tires. So I can take you to work and fix your tires or I can take you to work and still fix your tires. It's your choice." Emmett smiled seeing her silent, "by the way, I'm Emmett. Dr. Cullen's middle son, there's 3 of us boys and 2 girls." standing slowly so it wouldn't scare her.

Bella was taken back by him, "Nice to meet you Emmett. How long have you been out here? Aren't you freezing?" noticing his eyes were golden just like Dr. Cullen's were. That was of course way different than anyone she had ever met, so she knew this Emmett guy wasn't lying about that. She tension eased. He was really cute. Nice big smile, big muscles, dark hair her fingers itched to touch, she shook off the rest of her thoughts, he was only being nice for his dad.

Emmett chuckled "I'm good, but we should go so you don't get sick in his weather, my jeep is nice and warm for you" flashing a millon dollar grin. "Come on" extending his elbow for her to walk with him, being a gentleman.

Bella smiled and just went along with it. Maybe today was looking up.

Emmett walked her to the jeep and opened the door for her. She smiled and got in with her plastic bag in hand. He hurried around, got in and drove off. "So what's in the bag?" his golden eyes taking in everything detail about her, the sound of her voice was fasinating to him.

"Just lunch. I'm pulling a double shift today" checking the clock on his radio, it was now 5am, she had to put there at 6. "I work until 11 tonight" she noticed him flick his tonuge out to wet his lips "but it's okay. I don't mind working so late."

"Dad says your one of the best nurses he has ever worked with. Coming from my dad, that says a hell of lot" chuckling softly.

Bella liked the way he laughed. Okay, so she liked everything about Emmett so far. "That's really sweet he said that."

"You have any plans for Christmas next week?" Emmett just went for it.

"Actually. I don't know yet" she hated this subject. There wasn't anyone around. "I umm I.." okay she couldn't lie to him but she wasn't going to tell him her lonely story either. "Not sure, Emmett" flashing him a unassuring smile.

His golden eyes watched the road, feeling her voice tense at the subject. Carlisle was right, something wasn't right and this bothered him so bad. He didn't quiet know what to say but he wanted her to leave feeling good. "Well, you can't go anywhere then. You can't leave me all long on Christmas."

She couldn't help but smile, "you have a big family Emmett."

"So. I want you there too. It'll break my sweet little heart if you don't hang with me. I mean, really break my heart. What do you say?"

She finally giggled softly hearing him beg for her attention.

He laughed pulling up the hospital "I want to take you out" he smiled "I mean, if you would go out with me. I think you're really beautiful and I like you a lot already. I might have to fight my sister off, because she is going to want to take you shopping like all the time. I'm not fond of sharing" he laughed making her laugh. "You have to meet the family. Are you working tomorrow?" He drove up to the front entrance giving her door to door service, putting the jeep in park.

"Actually, I am off tomorrow but you don't have to..."

"Perfect. I'll pick you up at lunch tomorrow but I can't promise when I'll bring you home."

She laughed feeling like she just couldn't say no to him. He was so charming, she liked him already for some reason "you know what? Okay. Sure. Sounds fun to me" glancing out the window seeing the hospital then back at him "thank you Emmett for picking me up for work." She wasn't for sure how she would get home, but she would just cross that bridge when she got there. "See you later" giving him a smile then opening the door

"See you at 11pm. I'll be waiting right here when you get off to drive you home." This guy was real smooth. She liked him "okay." she giggled then got out, disappearing into the hospital. He smiled to himself, his nose taking in her sweet honey smell that lingered in the jeep from her skin.
