Here we go the chapter to the cliff-hanger. Sorry I couldn't help myself last chapter had to leave it there. If you have any ideas for what's to come in this story let me know.
Emmett's POV
"Emmett what I have to say has something to do with Elijah." What did she have to say? Was something wrong with Elijah?
"Elijah isn't Edward's son." She couldn't be telling the truth could she? He had Edwards green eyes, he had the Cullen's green eyes there was no way he wasn't his.
"Who is then?"
"He's yours." Wait what. How could I be his father he was my nephew it didn't work. Plus the one time we did have sex we used protection, didn't we?
"Wait what are you saying Bella." I was totally confused I didn't know what to say or do.
"He's yours Emmett. I had a paternity test done to see if he was Edwards and he wasn't and I was only ever with you besides Edward."
"No he can't be he has Edwards eyes. We used protection that night anyway." She shook her head and turned Elijah around so I could see his face.
"No Emmett he had your eyes and no we didn't use protection we were both too drunk to remember. I wasn't on the pill or anything because me and Edward were trying to have a baby." I was looking at Elijah and seeing how much he did really look like me. Why was I so stupid and didn't see this when he was a baby. There was no denying he was my son. Mother fucker just another way I have hurt my brother. What the hell do I do now? Do I be angry at her for not telling me when she got the results or do I embrace being a father to the little boy I thought was my nephew? I just needed space to think her house felt like it was closing in on me I couldn't breathe probably. I went from being a carefree 25 year old to father of a two year old in minutes how does that work?
"I just...god I don't know what to think Bella. I'm going I'll be back I just need to think." I made sure she knew I was coming back I didn't need her thinking I was just going to run away. I turned and walked out the door not totally sure where I was heading.
I ended up at Alice's I knew my little sister was pissed at me but I needed her advice she was all I had here. Jasper answered the door allowing me in.
"Man you look like you've just seen as ghost." He said patting me on the back. He walked me to where Alice was sitting with Edward. I stopped a few paces short of them not knowing if Edward needed to hear this. Alice looked around noticing me standing there.
"Emmett what are you doing here so early?"
"I went and saw Bella." Alice patted the seat next to her indicating for me to join her. Edward didn't move so I continued because right at this moment I really just needed my family even if they hated me.
"Apparently Elijah is my son. God I'm so sorry Edward I didn't mean to put you through any of this. I'm the worst brother." I put my head in my hands on the verge of tears. I just didn't know how to handle everything.
"It's done there's nothing any of us can do to change that." I looked up at Edward he didn't look like he was going to beat the shit out of me but he didn't look completely happy with me either.
"Emmett if you just found out that Elijah is your son why are you here?" Alice was being the sensible one right now and trying to get to the bottom of everything.
"I just didn't know what to think. I need space to sort my thoughts out and to be quite honest I needed my family to help me work everything out." Alice slightly smiled at me.
"Well what do you want to do about Elijah?"
"I want to do the right thing and be a part of his life, he is my son after all. I just freaked out a bit I never even thought that it was a possibility that he was. I always just assumed he was Edwards because they were trying." Edward snorted.
"Yeah well he wasn't you look at him now and he looks like you Emmett." Alice slapped me across the back of the head.
"If you want to be a part of his life what are you doing here then? Go back to Bella and tell her this she's probably at home freaking out." Alice was right I needed to go back and talk to Bella. Just before I left I turned to Edward.
"Edward thank you so much for taking care of Elijah that first year I'll never forget it." He got up and gave me an awkward hug.
"I'm still pissed at you but it's good to see you owning up to your shit." I left my brother and sister and headed back to Bella's. I walked straight into her house noticing the door wasn't locked I would have to talk to her about that. I found Bella on the floor playing with Elijah she was so good with him. I wondered if I would ever look that natural taking care of him.
"Bella" She screamed and jumped in the air.
"Emmett don't do that. Don't sneak up on someone and scare them." She said while clutching at her chest. I could see Elijah sitting there laughing at his mummy.
"Well you're lucky it was me and not some crazy ass freak, who found your door unlocked." I said chuckling.
"Hey I live in a safe neighbourhood." She paused before continuing.
"Did you have enough time to think?" She asked while looking down. I lifted her chin up so she could see the sincerity in my face.
"Yes and I've decided that I want to be a part of Elijah's life. So starting today I'm a daddy." I gave her a smiling showing her that I was ok with this.
"Really you want to be a part of his life even though I didn't tell you for two years?"
"Of course I got to experience the pregnancy and his first year I just got to experience differently than normal fathers, but when have I ever been normal Bells?" She laughed at that.
"Alright well come meet your son." We moved back over to where Elijah was playing.
"Hey baby boy mummy has someone she would like for you to meet." He walked over to her hiding his face in her hair. She cuddled him to her and spoke softly in his ear and he turned and looked at me giving me a slight smile and a wave.
"Elijah this is your daddy." I smiled at that word I was his daddy no matter what and it felt absolutely right. Elijah pointed his little hand towards me and said daddy at Bella as though asking if I was actually his. She smiled and nodded at him. He walked over and put his little arms around my neck hugging me.
"Daddy!" He squealed in excitement and I kissed him on the head. I didn't realise I was crying until Bella wiped a tear away.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fucking fantastic right now." I said smiling. Elijah turned around and said to me and his mum fucking. I realised then that I would have to be careful with my language around him and I didn't mind one bit because he is my son and I would do anything for him.
