Chapter Four
Emmett
Edward baby-talked Bella's baby bump in front of all of us at mom and dad's house, grossing most of us out, and all I could keep thinking about was, this was all my fault. Not only had I cheated on Rosalie yet again, but I had really messed up this time. I had sex with Edward's wife Bella and now she was preggers with my kid. I just couldn't get over it, but who could, ya know? It wasn't like I had accidentally … well, you get the idea.
I always knew it was mine. As soon as Ed and Bella announced it, I knew. There was just this feeling that slammed into my gut that told me I was going to be a daddy, regardless if Bella thought she knew who the father was or not. When I realized I couldn't carry this burden all by myself, I told the one person I felt I could trust with this information. Jasper didn't believe me at first, but Bella started relentlessly asking him about who she had been with that night, and turned him into a believer. He just wouldn't shut up about trying to make me tell her though. I don't know why he felt to obligated to make me confess. No freaking idea at all.
"Who's a little bumpy bump baby, yes you are!" Edward said in a baby voice, rubbing her bump some more. As he continued to do this, the oddest feeling engulfed me. I clenched my fists. That should be me hugging her bump, not him! He didn't even care about her before that argument three months ago! Don't I get some kind of recognition?
Well, maybe not if she's married to him, but still!
The anger that was pent up inside me felt as if it were going to burst out, so I calmly (as calmly as I could) stormed out of the house and onto the back porch. It was really hard to keep calm at the moment. I sat down in dad's rocking chair and buried my face in my hands.
"What am I going to do," I grumbled to myself.
"You should tell her," I heard Jasper (and his annoying self) reply. I dug my nails into my face at the frustration he caused me. Jasper sat down on the floor beside the rocking chair.
"Go away." I snapped, glaring at him through the spaces between my fingers. "I don't need your help, so go make yourself wanted somewhere else." He rolled his eyes and looked back at the back screen door.
"Come on, Emmett. I don't want the family to hear this conversation." He began walking towards the forest. I looked at him with curious expression.
"What makes you think I want to have this conversation at all?"
"Because you know you want to talk about this, or else you wouldn't have told me." He said cleverly. Okay, I wanted to talk about it. I wanted to scream about it. I didn't want Jasper to know that though. It'd make him smug.
"Fine, let's go." I walked after him. We headed into the forest and towards the cute little bridge over the river that Edward, Jasper, and I built for mother's day.
How much would Edward hate me if he knew about this? It wouldn't be too bad- it couldn't be, could it?
Jasper stopped walking and faced me, his numerous scars glaring at me. That was intimidating, he's a intimidating person though. You wouldn't really know it unless you've engaged in serious conversation with him. You'd just think he was this quiet guy whose wife walks all over him. That's not the case, of course, but they keep the charade up.
"I know you don't want to, but you have to tell her. The sooner you do so, the better. It's bothering her more than you know." He admitted bluntly. I thought about it, and shook my head.
"But I don't want to … and I want to at the same time! Don't you understand, I don't know how to handle this situation at all! I've never had a kid, and I really didn't plan on having one any time soon! Youjust don't understand!" I screamed, feeling better with each word. "You have no idea what I'm talking about, Jasper. Why do you try so hard?" Jasper sat down beside me on the edge of the bridge.
"You're not gonna believe me, but I'll tell you anyway. I know exactly what you're going through"
I looked at him, dumbfounded. "How, what happe-
"And all I'm going to say is, I'm being pushy because I was in your position and I made the wrong choices. Nobody's perfect." Jasper gave me a brotherly slap on the back. I smiled to myself and watched a turtle try to climb on a rock.
"You're lying, aren't you?" I asked him suddenly. Jasper chuckled and stood up. The turtle fell off again.
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Come on, let's get back to the house. They're gonna wonder where we went." I watched him as he jogged/walked back to the house, trying to figure out if what he just said was a load of crap or not. Regardless to if he was or not, it put me in a much better mood.
I walked down to the turtle and set him on the rock. "That's one less thing to worry about, isn't it Mr. Turtle?" I asked to the animal. It replied by hiding inside its shell.
"I'll take that as a yes," I said and walked back towards the house with a newfound piece of mind.

If you guys got a good plot twist, (like RubyDragonJewel, I like your thinking!) just put it in a review/PM and if it's awesome and it fits the mood I'm going for, I'll let you know I'm going to use it. Now, review and thanks again for enjoying this story.
