Emmett POV
I seized the moment that Bella would be out, to talk to Carlisle. I went up to his office to knock on his door.
"Come in, Emmett.", he said
I walked in and Esme was sitting on his lap.
"I wanted to talk to you about something.", I said
"Hun, does this have anything to do with Bella?", Esme asked
"Yes, I think I love her, but I'm not sure if I actually love her. Or if I'm just looking for company.", I said
"Emmett, I'm sure you do love her. You just need to fill the gap where you lost her, get to know her and just follow your heart. I don't think she will be mad if your just honest with her about you intentions.", Carlisle said
I nodded my head, I would take things slow. Maybe a night of video games and talking. Or maybe we should take a walk, yea a walk. I was already heading to my room when I saw Alice & Jasper in the spare room. I walked in.
"What are you two doing?", I asked
"Well, we are preparin' a room for Arianna. Alice says she isn't sure if she and Bella will stay for long, but she wants them to fill welcome her.", Jasper said
"How aren't you sure if they will stay?", I asked Alice
"Well I can't see Bella's future because Arianna is in it, so right now I'm playing it by ear.", she stated
I walked out of the room and went up stairs to my room. I took a shower to freshen up, when Bella came home. I meet her in the hallway.
"Hey, Bella.", I said
"Hey Em, umm why do you look all nervous?", she asked
I was a bit nervous, I sighed, I hate how she knew that.
"Well because I was wondering if you would take a walk with me tonight?", I asked
She just looked at me.
"I mean it does not have to be anything serious, it's not even a date, I just wanted...", I stuttered
"Yes Em, I will go. Um, did Ari come in yet?", she asked
"Nope, not yet.", I said
"Hmm, alright, well let's go.", she said
We started to walk out the door. We went into the woods but we headed west, to catch larger prey. After we both hunted. The started walking back home, I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to form the question without bringing up the past.
"You should just say whatever is on your mind?", she said
I just looked at her, in shock.
"I'm sorry that I didn't know about Ed- about those two sleeping together. I just wasn't paying attention to the signs you could say.", I said
She placed her hand on my face.
"This isn't your fault Em. It's honestly no ones fault. We both deserve better than those two scum bags. They aren't worthy of our love.", Bella said
"Yea, you are right. Maybe I'm just a little down, I just couldn't believe that they really did that to us and the family.", I said
After that neither of us said anything. I just continued to think, I looked at Bella and she looked deep in thought. Then I started to really look at Bella. I hadn't really noticed the subtle change that she had after the change. Her hair was longer and fuller, she had highlights now. Her face had a little bit of roundness to it. Bella's body was curvier now, but she was still slim. I stepped in front of her. She stopped a little shocked. Her face was above my chest, which means she grew a bit. I looked at her face, Bella is beautiful I thought.
"Emmett what's wrong, why did you step in front of me like this?", she asked
I didn't say anything I just grabbed her arms and leaned in for a kiss that she didn't reject. She wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer to her. Our kiss felt like fire had evaporated from our lips. The whole world could have blown up and I would have been at peace. We pulled away from each other.
"Emmett, I know now that I am in love with you now.", Bella said
"Bella, we were made for each other. Let's go home now.", I said
We ran home, holding hands. We came through the kitchen patio, to hear Esme yelling at Arianna. Then the doorbell rang. I went go answer it, sense everyone else was preoccupied. I opened the door and was looking at a pair of brown eyes.
"Why hello Jacob, Seth and Leah. Come on in.", I said
