Chapter Seven-

I awoke with a start but Emmett placed his hand over my heart, immediately calming me down.

"Thank you," I mumbled with my eyes closed lightly.

"No problem," he said disappointedly.

His tone made me look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Well Edward used to say that you talked in your sleep, but you didn't say one word last night."

I laughed and blushed thinking it was rather a good thing I hadn't spoken during my dream.

He placed his cool hand on my cheek, "You blush very beautifully. You know that?"

"I think I've heard it once or twice before…" I sat up a little so I could look at his face. "Sorry to let you down but I don't talk in my sleep anymore. My boss that I stayed with for that month, he'd wake me up every time I talked. He said that's what the doctor always told him to do for his brother when he'd talk."

"What a nice boss," he sarcastically joked.

I made a motion to stand up but his arms enclosed me in, "Where do you think you're going?"

"Uhm- the bathroom."

He let me go and I went upstairs to take a long hot shower. I inhaled the steam deep into my lungs and relaxed thinking about everything.

When I got out and went into my room, Emmett was sitting on my bed. I went to my walk-in closet, God knows I needed one with how many clothes Alice manages to purchase for me.

I came out with jeans and a black T-shirt on. I stood in front of the mirror and brushed my hair. I could see Emmett staring at me so I asked, "Where you serious last night?"

His gaze shifted to meet my eyes in the reflection.

"Bella, I said a lot last night so you need to inform me as to what I was being serious about. Most likely I was serious about everything though…"

"Were you serious about not really being back?"

Before I knew it I felt his hand on mine taking the brush away from me. He took hold of my elbow gently and twirled me around to face him. "Do you want me to stay?"

I looked at the floor but he raised my chin up with his thumb. Just the touch made me calm down for reasons unknown.

"Emmett… I don't know why, but with you, everything seems alright." I shook my head and walked over towards the window. I saw Alice and Jasper pull in the driveway but I still had to finish this conversation because it was now or never. And lately, I've been the now type of girl.

"You know that if last night, with Dillon, if that had occurred two months ago I would have cried myself to sleep?" I turned to face him, "But I didn't. I couldn't because it was as though you were holding me together." I paused realizing how stupid I sounded. "You must think I'm crazy," I said sitting on the windowsill covering my face.

I felt him grab my wrist to uncover my face. "I don't think you're crazy Bella. I think," he said licking his lips trying to search for the right words to use, "I think that we are the only two people who understand what we've both been through. With that, we need each other…" He took a little step closer so that we were less then an inch apart. "Last night, when we kissed, it felt right." He raised his eye brows as though wanting conformation.

I nodded which was replying that to me, it felt right as well.

"Does it still feel right?" he whispered as he pressed his lips once more to mine. I pushed myself into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck.

He pulled away a little later, knowing that I needed to catch my breath.

"It feels right but is it?" I wanted to know. I needed to know.

"Bella, I don't think this could be wrong." his expression saddened a little, "If people we loved could do something so horrible to us, we should have the right to move on."

I stood up and took his hand, "I thought moving on would be harder," I went on my tip-toes and kissed his cheek.

We walked down the stairs together and saw Alice and Jasper with grins plastered on their faces. "What's up with you two?"

Emmett chuckled 'under his breath' and I elbowed him.

"Hey," he whispered in my ear and rubbed my back.

Oh god, how does he know that that's what I like! He had hit the right spot that always makes me happy and relaxed.

"They have good hearing so they heard."

"Stupid dumb vampires," I mumbled.

Jasper laughed and called out as we settled on my couch; "I heard that."

"Good, because it wasn't a secret," I clarified.

Emmett pulled me onto his lap by grabbing around my waist, "Jas and Al?"

"Yes?" they said in unison, clearly expecting it.

"Can I stay with you guys?"

Before they could answer I stepped in, "Actually I had a question first."

All eyes were on my and I lightly blushed. "Can we, uhm, go visit your parents? I miss them so much. After all they were like my parents too."

Alice smiled brightly, "Just visit?"

My eyes twinkled as I caught on. "You saw us living there, didn't you?"

Alice didn't say anything so I jumped off of Emmett and playfully tackled Alice.

She giggled and then I wished I could tickle her and make her have a hard time breathing but no luck. She didn't need to breathe. Stupid vampires can ruin that kind of fun.

We all broke out with laughter and then I found myself pinned by little petite Alice, "Not fair!" I shrieked.

"Nothing in life is fair," her bell like voice rang happily. "And yes, I did know but I wasn't going to mention it until someone else asked about it. However I wasn't sure who would ask to see them first."

Jasper came and pulled his wife up off me and Emmett smirked as he picked my up off the hardwood floor bridal style.

"So…" I prompted.

"So," all three replied.

I groaned, "You guys can be annoying."

Jasper responded, "We're the annoying ones? Bella, dear, you're the human who has to eat and sleep."

"That's not my fault," I pouted as I crossed my arms over my chest.

Emmett whispered in my ear, "You look adorable when you pout sweetie."

"Glad someone finds it amusing," I grumbled.

Alice's Point of View-

"That's not my fault," Bella sulked.

My body went rigged and I breathed in as I closed my eyes.

"Are you sure?" a voice asked.

"Now more so then ever," Bella said stroking back someone's hair.

He laid on top of her and gently moved her hair from her neck, "Sweetie, this is going to hurt."

She grasped his hand tightly, "I can handle this pain, just don't leave me."

Her words held double meaning and I knew that she didn't want him to leave her like Edward had.

The figure kissed her deeply then moved his lips to her neck, sinking his teeth in.

Bella took in a large breath and exhaled slowly, softly saying "I love you Emmett."

Jasper's face was in front of mine, "You okay Ali?"

"Just a vision," I responded with wide eyes. What the hell was that! Could Emmett and Bella really have that kind of relationship? My mind screamed with excitement at that thought, Of course they will!

Jasper sat back down beside me and I leaned against him. I looked over at Bella and Emmett who were whispering to each other.

"I'm really not hungry," Bella whined.

"You're eating." I smiled at Emmett's 'that's final' tone and closed my eyes while Jasper held me in his arms, like usual after a vision.

Emmett's Point of View-

"But-"

"Nope. Up right now," I said pushing her up out of my lap tenderly. "What do you want to eat?" I asked when we got into the kitchen.

Her eyes bulged, "Don't you dare tell me that you, Emmett Cullen, can cook?"

I raised my brow, "Miss Isabella Swan, just what does that mean?"

A smile spread across her features. "It means that you shocked me."

"Well, Esme needed someone to cook with her."

She stepped towards the cabinets, "And that someone was lucky enough to be you."

"Well now," I joked, "I'm glad someone else can be amused."

I watched as she shut the cabinets then went to the refrigerator. She pulled out a strawberry yogurt, then slid open the drawer beside it and took out a spoon. She walked back out into the living room and I heard her plop down onto the couch, leaving me to follow after her.

She has no idea the power she has over me!

She took a bite and saw me staring at her out of the corner of her eye. "Watch me as I hunt," she grinned. "Not as good as grizzly, I assume?"

I tilted my head and stared with amazement. She had remembered that grizzly bear was my favorite.

She glanced over at Alice and Jasper. Alice's eyes were closed but everyone knows; vampires don't sleep. "Jasper, are there grizzly bears in Alaska?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Well- I was thinking. Why don't we leave today?"

That got Alice to pop open her eyes. "What?"

"Well, what if we packed up and leave today? I mean, you guys can pack really fast and well, I have Emmett to help with mine," she said with a smirk looking towards me.

"No, you need sleep," I shook my head.

"I slept fine last night," she argued.

"No. Sleep here tonight and we'll go tomorrow."

Bella stood up, obviously in a stubborn mood. "Look, I miss them! I have a right to see them now. I'll sleep on the car ride, like last night."

I contemplated as Bella bit her lip, she was visibly nervous. Duh! She is standing up to vampires! I faced Alice and Jasper, "What do you say?"

"Let's pack," Alice said jumping off the couch and running upstairs.
