This story is dedicated to my mom, Betty Royalston-Scott. She told me how proud she was of me and my writing even though she hasn't read any of my stories. She says there is too much blatant smut. So, unfortunately, this story will be Lemon-less :( and minimal bad language.

BELLA POV

This is the second time in my life a man has sparked something in me. I sat back and watched him interact with his daughter and my son.

He climbed on the trampolines with them. They used the small kid's section that was surrounded by safety nets.

Emmett then took Rosalyn over so she could climb the rock wall. He asked Jazz if he would like to come too. Jazz rocked on his feet for a while as he looked at the rock wall, then looked at the ground as he shook his head no.

After they left, I asked Jazz if he was sure.

"Yeah, Mama. I know you don't like it. It's fine. He sat and watched Rosalyn in astonishment as she climbed just above Emmett's head. Which, when you think about it, it was pretty high for a three-year-old. The guy had to be at least 6'6".

Jazz then asked if he could go on the rock wall. I'm afraid of heights and just watching my baby climb, no matter how secure the staff makes it with the harnesses sends me on edge. Emmett obviously saw the hesitation in my face.

"You and Ros just sit there and watch us, I'll make sure nothing happens to the little man," Emmett assured me.

I'd always told Jazz no when he asked to go on the rock wall. Now that I look back on it, I may have instilled my fears into my son. So when he and Emmett went over to the wall, I could see Jazz was intimidated, after all this was his first time.

Emmett got down on his knees to Jazz's level seeming to give him a pep talk. The next thing I saw was Em picking Jazz up and placing him on his back while still in harness and climbing the wall with him while Jazz's little arm was clinging around his neck. When they came back down and Jazz was unharnessed, Jazz ran over to me.

"MAMA! DID YA SEE ME? DID YA SEE ME GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP? IT WAS AWESOME!"

"Yes baby, I saw you and you were awesome. Were you scared?"

"Yeah, mama at first, but Mr. Emmett told me that everyone gets scared sometimes. And it's okay to be scared, but sometimes you have to look your fears in the face. And that's what I did mama. Can me and Ros go to the ball pit now?"

Yes, baby, but to the little kids one. You two go have fun. Just be careful and look out for Rosalyn."

"We will, c'mon Ros," Jazz said. He was so excited. He grabbed Rosalyn's hand and they went running off to the ball pit.

"Stop, running! Be careful!" I yelled after them. It warmed my heart to see Jasper so happy again.

After Emmett removed his harness, he went and got us a couple of coffees and brought them over. We finally had some time where we could just sit an talk.

"You are so great with him. I know he misses having his daddy around to do stuff like this. I can only do so much, you know?"

"Well, Bella, he's a great kid. But I know what you mean. Ros misses her mom. And even though she has her grandmothers and her aunts, it's not the same as having someone right there when she wakes up. But she's tough, like her mom. She gets angry because I've been so sad and she doesn't want to see me sad." And I could see the sadness in his eyes. I wanted to do anything I could to make that sadness disappear. I got up and went around the picnic style bench table to sit next to him. I placed an arm around his thick back and squeezed before laying my head on his shoulder. He returned the gesture by placing his arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him.

"You know, you've done nothing but sit here in this spot since we've been here. Let's go have some fun. I brought my head up to look at him, furrowing my brows at what he meant. He had this mischievous smirk on his face and a playful gleam in his eyes.

The next thing I know, he had me hauled over his shoulder.

"Em? What are you doing?" He just laughed a boisterous laugh.

"Emmett? Where are you taking me?" Then he reached up and took my shoes off and the next thing I know, I'm flying and landing in the ball pit.

"Ready or not, here I come," And just like that, Emmett was doing a cannonball into the ball pit. Balls went flying everywhere. Thank God they were the soft nerf balls and there were no kids around. This was a different ball pit. This was a bigger one for older kids. All of the older kids were on the trampolines or on the rock wall.

"Hold on. Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back," He said before climbing out of the pit. After a few minutes, he was back, carrying our kids like they were two sacks of potatoes under each arm. He threw Jazz in first followed by Rosalyn, both of them giggling as they landed before he jumped in.

"I've always wanted to do that," Emmett said with his boisterous laughter again. He was like a big kid. So full of life. It made me smile and laugh. Something I hadn't done in a very long time. I loved Jasper with everything I was and even though we had our fun, Jasper was always so serious.

I would throw an occasional ball at them and laugh as he tossed them around in the balls and let them pretend to attack him.

"We need to capture the fair Maiden, Mama," He said with an evil cackle as he turned towards me after I landed a ball square in the middle of his forehead. My eyes widened as the three evil beings turned their attack on me. I started laughing and wading through the balls to get away from them. They were growling like angry bears trying to get to me. The pit was only knee deep for Emmett and waist deep for me, so he had to keep the two mini bears from sinking to the bottom with his arm around their waists.

When they finally caught up to me, Jazz attacked me by putting his arms around my neck from the back and little Ros around my waist from the front.

"Very good, evil minions, You've captured the fair maiden for me. Now it's time to take her back to our lair and force feed her pizza and soda," Emmett said with another evil laugh. He then picked me up bridal style.

"Hold on, to my arms, evil minions until we're free from the quicksand pit," Emmett told them. They both latched on to each arm as he waded us towards the exit

"Yes, Gru, we are your minions we will follow you," Jazz played along in character trying to give the squeaky voice like the minions.

"He's not Gru, he's my daddy," Rosalyn said with a little scowl.

"Its just pretends, Ros. You know, like Despicable Me," Jazz told her.

"Oh, okay. I like the minions. But, I don't wanna be a minion. I wanna be Agnes," Rosalyn told them. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, you can be Agnes, but I'm still a minion," Jazz announced. Once we exited the pit, the kids were in socked feet so they went running off back to the little kid's ball pit to retrieve their shoes. Em stopped us at the cubby hole where our shoes were.

"You know, that was a little disgusting, I was barefoot in there," I told him. He ducked his head.

"I know, I wasn't thinking about you not wearing socks," he said as he carried me over to our table. He then went through what could only be described as the manliest diaper bag I've ever seen. It was more like a backpack really, but he had a change of clothes for Rosalyn. A set of underwear and pull-ups, baby wipes and hand sanitizer. He took out the baby wipes and the hand sanitizer. He squirted a little hand sanitizer on the baby wipe and cleaned my feet. He even cleaned in between my toes and I started giggling.

"Have I already found a tickle spot?" He asked as he started playing with my toes."

"Emmett, stop! Don't!" I said laughing as I tried to pull my foot away

"Okay, Okay. Only 'cause I don't want to make you pee yourself. I didn't bring my 'accidents happen bag' for mama's." I smiled at him again. After he finished cleaning my feet, he placed my shoes back on. After cleaning his hands with another wipe he looked up into my eyes. He then brought his hand up and caressed my cheek.

"You have the most beautiful smile," we just sat there looking into the eyes of each other. We were broken out of our eye gaze by the children approaching us.

"You know Ros, if your dad marries my mama, I won't have to marry you anymore. You'll get to be my sister, then I can keep you forever and ever."

"I like that. I always wanted a big brother. So will you be my big brother, Jashpur? Can I call her Mama, too?"

"Sure, If I can call him, Daddy. Do you think we should ask them if they can get married so we can be brother and sister?"

"Nah, let'em figure it out on their own," Rosalyn told Jazz.

Okay, guys. for the remainder of this story, Emmett and Bella will be based on very talented Cartoon artists from Isreal, Yehuda and Maya Devir and their comic strip One of those days. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out at yehuda devir dot com.(just remove the spaces and put an actual period for the word dot) When I first saw it, I immediately thought of Emmett and Bella. I wanted to write a fanfiction based on it but decided to include it in this story. Hope you will enjoy.
