I don't own anything!
Emmett's POV
I got out of the car and walked around to open Kim's door, then Emily's door and lastly Bella's door. The girls were old enough now that they could get unbuckled themselves. I took Kim's had and Bella took Emily's hand then the girls joined hands once again. I still could picture Bella and me with our children going on an outing.
Once we walked in we were surrounded by mass chaos. Children yelling and laughing, running away from their parents, it was awesome! This is why I am the one to bring the girls here, because my brother's wife thinks I am a 5 year old child in a grown man's body. I looked to Bella, she had this beautiful smile on her face, one that was like oh crap what is this place?! Mixed with this is going to be awesome!
"Uncle Em, can me and Kim, go do the spider stomp game?" Emily asked with her hands clasped in front of her, mastering the Puss in Boots, big eyes face. I heard Bella laugh at what she saw. I just nodded my head and went up to the counter to get tokens for all of us, I gave the girls a few and the rest I put into my pockets.
Bella and I found a seat close to where the girls were playing and we started talking, about nothing but everything. I loved sitting with her.
"Emmett, what's your favourite colour?"
"I would have to say, yellow. I had the biggest crush on the yellow Power Ranger, Trini Kwan." I said as I felt my cheeks heat. "What's yours?"
"Purple, I have always loved the colour. Plus I am a little obsessed with Victorian Monarchy of Britain. And it is a royal colour." She had the biggest smile on her face. "Favorite book?"
"This is hard, I love reading, and my dad got me hooked to Hardy Boys when I was a kid. Then I started reading Eric Wilson, William Bell, and then I got into Ian Fleming, Tom Clancy, James Patterson and Robert Ludlum. I like pretty much anything that involves spies and fighting. How about you?"
"Again like you my dad got me hooked onto Nancy Drew, I so wanted to be her. I read some of the newer Nancy Drew books, and they sucked, I would be ashamed to have any of my family read them. I love romance novels as well as comedies; Julia Quinn, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Susan Anderson, Stephanie Laurens. I absolutely love The Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich; they are not books you would want to read on the TTC."
We continued our impromptu game of 20 Questions for a few more rounds. I heard the girls giggling about something, I turned my head and saw them whispering to each other and pointing at us. That is when I noticed that as we were talking we started to move our heads closer to one another, as well as we were holding hands.
"Yes Little Misses, can we help you with anything?" Bella asked with her eyebrow raised, with a joking smile on her face.
"No Miss Bella and Uncle Em, we are going to tell Mommy and Daddy and Mr. Edward and s. Rosalie on you!" Emily said as she started laughing so hard she was falling down and taking her sister with her.
"Oh no girls, you don't want to tell all those people, because if you do the Tickle Monster will find out and then you will be tickled until you are laughing is hard you can't stop!" I told them with my signature smirk, while wiggling my fingers.
I heard Bella's stomach rumble so I asked who is ready for some pizza of course my giggling nieces couldn't say no to pizza. I flagged down our waitress and ordered a large cheese and pineapple pizza and an extra-large pepperoni pizza, so we could take some home. Plus what's pizza without breadsticks and chicken wings?! So I had to get that as well. I was good with the girls, we all ordered chocolate milk, Bella and I had a large the girls had a small. See I know how to get them to during their milk, right.
By the time we left it was an hour past Emily and Kim`s bedtime. We still needed to drop Bella at her truck back at the centre. The girls were sleeping so Bella picked up Kim and I got Emily, and we walked out to my car and buckled them in. Bella looked at the girls and smiled. I walked around to her side and opened the door for her. I leaned down and was moving to peck her cheek, she turned her head at the last second and I got her lips instead. And oh boy, oh boy, it was something else. Not like anything I have ever felt before.
When we finally parted ways, Bella took her hand and felt her lips, she had the most beautiful smile on, and then she reached up around my neck and stole a peck.
I walked around the car again to get to my side, and buckled up. I took Bella`s had in mine and brought it to my lips and gave her a sweet kiss on her palm. We continued to hold hands the entire way to her truck. We rode in silence, it was nice.
When we got to the childcare centre, I didn't want the date to end but I knew I had to as it was still a weekday and she had work the next morning.
When she got out I noticed that, she had tears in her eyes.
"Bella, why the tears?" I asked her walking quickly towards her I placed my hands on her cheeks and wiped the tears away with my thumbs.
"I don't really know Emmett; I had such a good time today that I don't want it to end." She said as she looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes.
"Don't cry Bella, we will see each other over the weekend. Do you want to come over to my brother's house and have a BBQ? You can bring your sister and her husband. We can get the families together now, and then we may get some quiet time just the two of us without nosey siblings-in-law."
"That sounds great Emmett, how does Sunday afternoon sound, we go to church, if you want you can bring your family and we can go from there. I teach children's church, so the girls can be with me. Edward does the music and Rose; she just takes the first row of chairs behind the piano and sings off key." She smiled.
"That sounds great, what time should we be there for and what's the name of the church?"
"Service starts at 10:00 am; you should be there at 9:30ish so you can get a good seat. I am there a at 8:30 am service so I can worship then at 10:00 I go downstairs with the kids and do stuff there. I go to Malvern Methodist Church. It's at Morningside and Morningview."
"Oh I know that church. Okay I will see if Jake and Leah want to come, if they don't I will kidnap my nieces again and bring them. I know it's getting late; I should let you get home. Please text or call me when you get home so I won't worry." I asked her, and gave her a small peck on her lips and opened her car door. I waited until she pulled out of the parking lot to get back into my car; I looked behind me and still saw my nieces sleeping, this time they were holding hands. I smiled to myself as I drove towards my brother's house.
I couldn't believe how lucky I was to see Bella again today. I know I will need to talk with Edward and Rose sooner than later to ask them a very important question. I knew it in my soul she is the one for me. I felt my father's hand on my shoulder to confirm that. I was just so happy. Nothing could stop that feeling.
When I got to Jake's house I saw him and Leah on the porch on a swing they had just purchased. I motioned to Jake for a little help with the girls.
Leah must have notice my big ass smile on my face because she ran up to me while I was holding a sleeping Emily, and gave me the biggest hug I have ever gotten from her, ever. She just told me, "Em, it's great to see you so in love." I looked at her as if she had ten heads, "yes Emmett, yes I know it's soon, but you are in love I can tell." And with that she took her daughter from me, gave me the eye telling me to sit, and we are going to talk when I get back. She must have given Jake the same look because he was down about two minutes after putting Kim up in her bed.
"I would ask how the date went but I know Leah would have my balls on a silver platter if I asked, so I will ask you want a drink?"
"Sure, a pop if you have it, please."
"Oh Jakey, your balls wouldn't be on a silver platter, it would be platinum with rubies and emeralds with 24K gold accents, babe. Get it straight!" Leah playfully said when she was walking down the stairs.
"So brother of mine care to tell me why the girls are here at nine at night and not at eight like we talked about?" Leah asked, complete with a bitch brow.
I looked down at my hands and I remembered what it felt like to have her face in my hands. I remember the taste of her lips and the way her body looked after I kissed her up against the car.
"Leah, Jake. IthinkImightbeinlove!" I said all in one word. They looked at me as if I had three heads. But I knew Leah knew what I said because she had a huge smile on her face as well as she was hitting Jake, so much that he had to take her hands and hold them above her head.
"I knew it, Emmett! During dinner I was telling Jake that you love her, I could hear it in your voice, when you asked if you could take the girls."
"Yes honey you were right. I happy for you Emmett, it's an awesome feeling don't let it go. And pray that she loves you too, or will love you too."
"Oh brother I am. I have a question, well it's more of a request…a thing I want to host he-"I felt Leah slap the back of my head.
"Spit it out Emmett, this year would be nice!"
"Sorry, as I was saying, Bella and I want to get our two families together for a BBQ and I was hoping we could do Sunday. Bella has invited all of us to go to church, with her and her sister and her husband. The girls can go to Children's Church, and we can go to the service. Then we will all drive over here and have a good old-fashioned BBQ."
"That sounds awesome, Em. What time do we need to be up and ready for?" Leah asked.
I told her nine thirtyish, and she said she will have the girls up by eight thirty so they can shower and stuff like that. I notice Leah starting to doze off, so I hugged them both, I'm a real man, I can hug my own brother, and left them.
When I got home I notice I had a text message it was from Bella; Hey Em, I had a great time with you and your nieces tonight. I am home safe and sound. I hope everything went well with your bother and his wife. Have a good night. I'll be dreaming of you. xxo Bella
Oh boy, she'll be dreaming of me. I knew at that moment that I loved her. I don't care that I have been only on two dates with her. But I love Isabella Swan!
I texted her back telling her that I too will be dreaming of her, and I will see her Sunday morning. I gave her three kisses and a hug.
I hope this was worth the wait readers! Thank-you for all the awesome comments. I am going to start writing Bella`s chapter this week. I am also writing the next chapter for High School Fever.
