Edward POV

I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard Emmett yell the strangest thing to this goddess who was still standing on the steps…

"Jelly Belly?!"

Her reply was strange, but very funny…

"Jammy Emmy?!"

Alice who was standing next to me started to chuckle lowly as to not attract attention, I assume. She leaned a little toward me and whispered, "I have to know the story behind that. Jammy Emmy?" Then she started chuckling lowly again. I would have joined her chuckles if I were not so entranced by the goddess who now had a big, beautiful smile overpowering her face. Looking at her, I could not help but smile along.

Before anything else was said, Emmett ran up to engulf her in one of his painfully well-known bear hugs. She didn't seem affected at all, but Rose sure did. I wondered what was going through her mind, but the thought did not last long because my thoughts were interrupted by an angelic giggle immediately bringing my attention back on the goddess with Emmett.

Emmett finally put her down and all I wanted to do was stare at her, but the second she was released from Emmett's hold Alice was directly in front of her with a huge smile on her small face. I was terrified of what Alice would say. Alice is not very discreet with her observations.

"Hi, you must be Bella. I am Alice, the blond over there is my boyfriend Jasper, the other blonde is his sister Rosalie, but we all call her Rose, I assume you already know Emmett, he is Rose's fiancé and the guy over there staring at you and worried about what I might say is my big brother Edward." She finished with an even bigger smile on her face, if it was possible, and I was very proud of her for not going overboard. That is until I processed what she said about me. I looked at Bella to see her staring back at me, but once she saw me look she dropped her gaze and had a beautiful red tint on her cheeks, making her look even more like a goddess in my eyes.

"Well kids, now that you are all here, why don't we go inside and get settled." Esme will always be the worrying mother making sure we are safe and comfortable, especially in her home.

We took the bags out of the car and went inside to dump them in our respective rooms. On the way to my room, I noticed one of the guest rooms on my floor was remodeled and there was a bag on the bed. This must be where Bella is staying. I hope she does not mind the two of us having a whole floor to ourselves.

When we were done, we headed back downstairs and into the living room where my parents and Bella were already waiting. I walked in followed by an eager Alice, Jasper, an excited Emmett and an angry looking Rose. I wonder what's up her butt.

"So Bella, if you don't mind my asking, how do you and Emmett know each other?" Alice asked as soon as she stepped into the room and dropped herself next to Bella, eager for a story. Sometimes I wonder if her height is due to her lack of growing older. She could be such a little kid at times. The rest of us settled down in various places around the room patiently awaiting an explanation to something we were all wondering just moments ago. Rose almost looked as eager for an answer as Alice did.

"Well, I grew up in Phoenix and Emmett was my next door neighbor. Since he is two years older, he was always a big brother to me. He always took care of me no matter what the issue. I do not have any siblings so it was always nice to have Em around. When it came to school and the other kids, he was always my big protector. He would always scare the other kids, but to me he was always a giant teddy bear." Emmett beamed at the praise and Rose visibly relaxed, but Alice being Alice still was not satisfied.

"Where do the nicknames come in to play?" She was hopping in her seat causing the couch, and Bella, to tremble.

"When we were little Em's mom didn't want to leave him home alone during the summers while she and her husband went to work. My mom was a kindergarten teacher so she had summers off. Em's mom would drop him off before she left for work early in the morning and Emmett would refuse to change out of his pajamas before he came over."

"I didn't see the point, I was just going to go back to sleep as soon as I got there. My mom had to go to work really early." Emmett was quick to defend himself.

"That's true he did go right back to sleep at my house. Anyway when I was younger I was addicted to jelly beans, and they had to be Jelly Belly jellybeans, otherwise I would not eat them. So one morning, when Em just turned seven and I was turning five at the end of the summer, Em came over like every other day, but that morning he was very cranky..."

"I had a doctor's appointment the day before and they gave me a shot!" Once again, Emmett was quick to defend.

"Back to my story…His pajamas that day had toast with jam on them, so I told him I liked his pajamas. Apparently, it was a little too early for his brain because he thought I was making fun of him. He looked at me and said, 'Shut up, Little miss Jelly Belly'. Of course, being the stubborn four-year-old I was, I had to retaliate, so I called him 'Jammy Emmy' and the nicknames just kind of stuck." When Bella finished her story, she just shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal. We all looked around for a few seconds before the whole room burst in laughter.

Jasper looked at Emmett while trying to keep his laughter at bay, "Dude, you got mad because she said something about your pajamas?" By the time Jasper had finished his question, his laughter overpowered him again causing everyone else's laughter to increase.

"I guess I did overreact just a little." Emmett looked a little sheepish.

"A little, your outburst changed both your lives!"

Rose looked relieved, but she was still a little worried. So when our laughter died down she asked the question I'm sure has been eating her up inside since we arrived. "So…you two never…dated or anything like that?"

Now it was Bella's turn to look shocked, and much to my happiness, she blushed again. Granted it was not a lot but there was a bit off a light pinkish tint on her cheeks. "God no, like I said Emmett was my big brother. That would have been extremely awkward and possibly creepy. No offense Em." She added the last part quickly.

Emmett did not seem to care. "None taken, besides I feel the same way."

When we were all wrapped up in conversations, my parents decided to leave the room, I guess we were making them feel a little bit old.

"I'm going to head into my office to do a little work." With that, Dad went up the stairs while Esme disappeared into the kitchen. Alice gave me a pointed look. I guess that is her way of telling me to go talk to Mom.

I walked into the kitchen and found her looking getting some meat ready to defrost. I walked up behind her silently and turned her around so I could give her a proper hug. She hugged me back.

"I'm sorry mom; I didn't mean what I said to you that day. I had been having a rough week and I guess you just happened to be the person I took it out on. I know that's no excuse, but I do regret what I said and I just wanted to say I'm sorry." I whispered my apology into her ear not willing to let go just yet. She did not seem too willing either.

"Its okay, sweetie, its okay." It was okay and I knew that now. Even after everything everyone has been trying to tell me, I had to hear for myself from her voice for me to know that everything was indeed okay.

We stayed in the hug for a while longer until we heard soft footsteps approaching the kitchen. We both looked towards the doorway to find a blushing Bella looking a little guilty for seeming to ruin our moment.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything but Alice asked me to come in here to get Edward because she wanted to watch a movie." She blushed even more when she caught me looking at her. I could not help it, my name sounded so beautiful coming from her. I let go of Esme and started to walk slowly to the den hoping to either hear her voice again or maybe spend a little time in the hallway with her. I lucked out because she spoke again.

"Do you need any help with dinner Esme?" She is so sweet, but I secretly hoped my mom would tell her know so I could be near her while we watched whatever movie Alice decided to subject us to. I was getting lucky tonight, it was as if Esme heard my silent plea.

"It's okay dear, go watch the movie with the others." I walked into the den with a big smile on my face and settled down on the couch to watch the movie. Bella came in shortly after and Alice pushed her down next to me before resuming her position on Jasper's lap and starting Breakfast at Tiffany's.

AN: Now you know how Emmett and Bella know each other. Only Aden101 and Floridian Girl guessed right. Congratulations to you both! Tuesday's chapter will be Bella's flashback for the story mentioned above. I am not entirely sure what to write next so I probably won't put any extra chapters next week like I did this week.
