Changing Tides

Chapter 7

Waking up in Emmett's arms after making love all night long was the best feeling ever.

"So, do you feel any different? Soon to be Mrs. McCarty." He pulled me on top of him.

"Mmmmm, I do." I giggled as I lowered myself into place.

Spending the entire weekend waking up with Emmett was glorious, I was dreading having to leave and going back to our busy lives and separate beds.

"Babe, would you think it crazy if we were to move in with each other before the wedding?" As always Emmett and I were thinking the same. "After this weekend, I don't want to be in the bed alone anymore."

"I was just thinking the same."

"Christmas Break, let's do it!" he exclaimed. "What a better Christmas gift for Tiegan."

"Yes!" I bounced in my seat until I thought about it. "What will your parents think?"

He sighed "Let's build our own house. I've got land, it might be all of us in the cottage a little while."

"Let me help with the cost." I put out there.

"Bella… I can build this for us." He stated.

"I have no doubt you can. But this is OUR dream home and I want to build Tiegan the perfect princess bedroom and I'd like to have a few extra bedrooms added, just in case." I smiled at him.

"Y-you'd want more babies with me, even knowing…" he got choked up.

"Yes. I want at least two, maybe three more."

"You really are too good to be true."

"No, we're just perfect for each other. So how about we tell everyone about this, then we get Edward and Tanya" I said with a sigh, because as it turned out; after meeting her a few weeks later, she was the one who didn't like me! She deemed I was out to steal her husband. "Over here and start planning out our house."

"Are you sure you want Tanya?" Emmett asked.

"She's a part of the family and I want her to know in NO way do I want Edward. He's a sweet guy, but he's way too immature. I mean all he ever wants to talk to me about is Hollywood. It's quite boring." I rolled my eyes and Emmett laughed.

"That's why Tanya and Edward are perfect for each other." Emmett deemed.

"I agree."

We called Edward and invited them over, he was as happy as could be, said Tanya probably wouldn't be happy about it, but when I told him I was going to ask for her help in decorating; he said she might be a little more receptive. I told him to leave it as a surprise for once they arrived.

Emmett and I went grocery shopping for dinner, I was thankful we could both cook; we worked side by side preparing the baked ziti, homemade garlic bread and Emmett was making his mom's recipe for a tiramisu toffee dessert that looked to die for.

"We'll save some of this for later." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"You're incorrigible." I shoved him as I put the salad together.

"No, I'm in love." He pulled me to him and kissed me. "I'm glad my parents offered to keep Tiegan tonight."

"I'm glad they were happy for us." I sighed.

"Seriously?" he chuckled. "My mom and Alice were probably planning this when she hired you."

"You're probably right. Before my ink was even dry."

"Is Jasper going to kick my ass?" he asked.

"Are you kidding? He'll hand you a medal. He hates Mike."

"Good to know." He kissed me.

As we were finishing up the door opened and in walked Edward and Tanya.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Edward hugged Emmett in a man hug.

"Hi Tanya! Love that dress." Which I did, I knew high fashion, when I saw it, just wasn't a fan of having to wear it all the time.

"Thanks. My friend Irina sent it to me, you remember her right Emmett?" Tanya giggled.

"Oh yeah! The blind date who wanted to party and fuck, so I dropped her off at your place and said no thanks! And told you to never set me up again." Emmett looked at me and smiled, he'd already told me about that disastrous date on one of our first dates when I asked him why he was single.

"Well she thought you needed to loosen up." Tanya huffed.

"Bella has me quite loose now." He wiggled his brows and Edward busted out laughing and high fiving his brother as I shook my head and walked into the kitchen.

"Come on Tanya, let's get dinner for these two animals."

"Oh, I don't cook." She protested.

"I'm aware." I snarked. "It's all prepared. Do you think you can carry a few dishes to the table?"

"I guess." She huffed and tossed her hair over her shoulder.

Rolling my eyes, I was beginning to rethink the entire decorating idea.

Dinner ended up being a success after we announced our engagement and told them of our plans.

"Bella, you seriously want my help?" Tanya asked.

"Yes. But nothing too fancy. We have Tiegan and we want several more children so the house is going to have to be children friendly. Our bedroom and offices are the only things that we want as our retreats." I stressed.

"Are you going to do all the children's rooms now?" she asked.

"I'd like to do at least two others now, besides Tiegan's, that way they're done and we don't have to worry about them."

"And the house itself?" Edward asked.

"Emmett knows what I want. He's already started drawing it up, and said you'll get the best contractors and get it finished on time. We've got the money. Obviously." I stressed to Emmett who was worried.

"Bella…" he tried to argue.

"No. I want to get this done. I want to start our new life together. Once the house is built, we can get married and move in together as a family and start adding to this one."

"This is why I love you." He kissed me.

"You two almost make me want to have kids." Tanya laughed. "Almost."

"Are you building in the meadow?" Edward asked.

"Of course. I already called the surveyors and such. They're getting it mapped out."

"Wow. You two are on top of things." Edward stated.

"We just know." Emmett assured him.
