Shades of Green: The Answers

Why does Edward want to have a secret chat?

Emmett's Point of View

As I walked into the lounge, I saw Bella hanging all over Jazz and shook my head. Bella has been and always will be someone who is very affectionate and loving whenever she's drunk. And Bella is a light weight. Two wine coolers has her loving everyone.

I put the drinks on the center of the round table and am glad I got them down before getting attacked by Drunkella.

"Aww, Em!" she shrieked and I'm once more glad she doesn't have one of those obnoxious, whiney voices. She wrapped her tiny little arms around me and hugged me as hard as her tiny-little-self can before I hugged her back for a minute. I chuckled and passed her to Edward, who pulled her onto his lap.

They're an awesome couple and I can't wait until the wedding. Drinks that I won't be paying for, for once, I hope. Plus, Bella was so miserable and withdrawn before she fucked Edward and got knocked up. And to think – my club brought them together and got them Audrey. Their relationship has brought best friend though my babyhood to college graduation back to me and it's awesome. Rose and Alice were always lamenting about how we needed to help Bella out because she felt like the fifth wheel. Though, sometimes I wondered if Audrey was an accident or an "accident" on Bella's side.

"So, someone's having some drinks tonight!" the pixie with the huge stomach laughed, rubbing the basketball under her shirt.

I'm hoping this next baby is a boy. My next. Since Alice and Jasper already found out their baby was a boy. I want a football team. I start thinking the few drinks I had were starting to get to me.

"I am! I'm gonna pump and dump when I get home," Bella exclaimed, obviously trying to get a reation out of someone. Edward, probably. But it's gross so all us guys mad sure Bella knew it was gross. Breastfeeding shouldn't be done in public. Rosalie has been doing it for over two years. It needs to stop but with this other kid coming, I guess we'll see what's in the future.

"Hey Em, Jazz, can I talk to you for a minute?" Edward asked, seemingly suddenly.

"Yeah, man. We can talk in the office," I tell the guys and we picked up our drinks before heading that way. I managed to dodge any problems on the floor or passing the bar. It was good cause I made it clear that even though I was there, it certainly wasn't to work.

When we made it to my office, the assistant manager is there and he hurried to get out of the way. When he finally left, I locked the door and sat in my chair, curious about what Edward wanted to talk about.

"Dude," Jasper said, laughing before I can ask Edward, "that dude is so fucking scared of you."

I laughed because it's true, "He fucked up a few times and I lost my mind eventually."

Edward laughed, "You're not so fucking fun to be around to when you go crazy."

"Remember when you 'borrowed' my Jeep when your parents had taken away your car and you fucked it up?" I laughed because it's funny now but at the time, I beat the shit out of Edward.

"I don't know this story," Jasper insisted and I realize I've had two best friends and so many things have happened. I almost felt like suggesting a slumber party so we can share stories about the past.

"Okay, dude," Edward starts, "My parents took my care away for something stupid… I can't even fucking remember and I needed go get to this girl's house that I had been fucking. Her parents were out of town but she was fifteen and didn't drive yet and…"

"Wait, that girl was only fifteen fucking years old?"

"Why do you think she didn't have a car?! I was seventeen, it's just two years! Anyway… so Emmett was working out and I knew this cause he had this crazy schedule so I go over and tell his mom that Em said I could use his Jeep. She was surprised but gave me his extra key…"

"And let me say, my mom doesn't believe anything Edward has said since then."

Jasper is laughing and so is Edward but talking about it is bringing my anger back and I had to remind myself that this happened thirteen years ago so I could laugh too.

"Stop fucking interrupting man, I can see you wanna kill me, let me get it out at this point," Edward laughs, "so I make it to this chick's house and I can't even remember her name and it turns out, her parents are home. So I went through all this shit, I tell her I want road head out of the deal."

"Dude, from a fifteen year old?" Jasper looked either grossed out or impressed. I was still both.

"I had to explain what it was," Edward laughed then went on, "Well, she didn't even have my dick out of my pants but she had decided to bring a fountain Coke into the car and fucking spilled it all over my lap and the interior. As I'm lamenting about the fact that Emmett's gonna fucking kill me… she decides to reach over and grab my cock! So I go up on the curb and the whole side of the Jeep grazed it," Edward finished, shaking his head.

"Holy… shit. That's a fucked up story," Jasper looks shocked and I shrugged my shoulders, "What's done is done, man."

"My parents paid for everything to get fixed dude, they offered you a new car! There was no reason for you to do what you did!" Edward cried out and now I laughed, so hard I couldn't breath for a second.

"What'd you do?" Jasper asked, his eyebrows raised.

"I beat him up," I laughed, "Maybe broke his arm."

"You broke my arm!"

"You might have fallen on that," I laughed because we'd been debating this for years, "Alright, you didn't come to talk about this… what's up, Cullen?"

"Well, you guys know now that we set the date," Edward paused and we both nodded in agreement. "Well, I need a best man. Emmett, we promised we'd be each others' when we were younger but I wasn't around to be yours. I was hoping you'd still be mine," Edward said, sounding nervous. Like he actually thought I was gonna say no. That was awesome, I thought he'd go with Daddy Cullen.

"That's awesome!" I stood and gave him a hug. It was awesome. My childhood best man was getting married and I'd get to be here by his side. Rose would be the matron of honor, I knew, because they had some sort of system worked out.

"Fucking great… and Jasper, dude, we haven't know each other that long but you and Em have been my best friends so I was hoping you'd be a groomsman and Charlotte would be flower girl," Edward rambled. I could tell this is what he'd been nervous about and why he wanted me as a shield.

"Yeah? Dude, nice. I'd love that. And you'll have to ask Charlotte, her heart's gonna be broken," Jasper laughed, shaking Edward's hand.

"Oh, are we talking about her crush on Eddie?" I asked, laughing. My niece refused to call him uncle because, "you can't marry uncles," and insisted that a framed picture of her and Edward on her nightstand. I repeated my thoughts to Edward, who groaned.

"They get thoughts on thirty year old men at four?! Fuck, I'm in trouble!"
