"You're going to have to face Edward sooner or later, you need to thank him for saving Bella." Samantha tells her.
"I know, but it's hard, I don't like him hanging around Bella, she's too fragile."
"Just do it, it will make life a lot easier on Emmett."
"Okay fine," Alexis says as she opens her car door.
The minute Emmett sees Alexis he makes his way over, "Finally, I thought you'd never get out of the car." He says as he hugs and kisses Alexis.
"Sorry, I had something to discuss with Sam," She tells him as she rests her head on Emmett's chest.
"And what was it that you two were discussing." Emmett asks as he tilts her head up and kisses, Lexie's nose.
"That I need to talk with Edward."
"No, you really don't."
"Yeah I do, Emmett, he saved my cousin yesterday, I have to thank him in person. Besides I don't want there to be any tension between you and your brother because of me."
"There's no tension." Emmett lies.
"That's not what Samantha told me."
Emmett gives her a sheepish smile. "Well, that was just one incident.
"Nevertheless, you shouldn't be getting into fights because of me."
"He called you a bitch!"
Alexis smirks, "I am a bitch, Emmett, it doesn't offend me, let's just go over there so I can thank him."
Emmett sighs and wraps an arm around Lex's shoulders, "Alright, Babe, whatever you want."
They walk over to where Samantha and the other Cullens are, Alexis walks right up to Edward, he takes a step back.
"I told you to stay away from my cousin."
Edward looks at Emmett surprised, Emmett can only shrug.
"Look if I hadn't-" Edward begins but Alexis cuts him off.
"I wasn't finished, I told you to stay away from my cousin, but I'm glad you didn't, or else she'd be dead right now. So I wanted to thank you for saving her life, I can't in good conscience approve of you wanting to pursue my cousin, but I'm not going to stop you. Though I want this made perfectly clear, you hurt her and I will kick the fucking shit out of you."
"I have no intention of hurting Bella, Alexis, you have my word."
Alexis thinks it over for a minute, "I guess your word is good enough for now, but don't forget, I'm watching you."
Edward smiles, "Yes, ma'am."
Emmett suddenly claps his hands, "Well now that the fun is over, let me introduce you to Alice and Jasper."
Alexis gives them her most winning smile and puts her hand out, "It's nice to meet you both, I look forward to getting to know you."
Alice takes her hand and pulls her into a hug, "We both look forward to getting to know you too, Lexie, do you mind if I call you that?"
"No, not at all."
At that moment Bella shows up and parks next to Lex, "If you'll excuse me a minute I need to check on my cousin." She quickly pecks Emmett on the lips then walks over towards Bella."
"She is such a bad ass." Emmett says with a sigh.
"She's scary for such a petite human," Edward observes.
Emmett turns and looks at Edward, "Hey I'm sorry for what happened the other day."
"No, I overreacted, you were just defending you mate and she was just defending her cousin. I tell you one thing, she can kick really hard."
"It's those soccer legs of hers." Emmett comments with a laugh.
Emmett walks away from the others as Lex waves him over, giving him a hug they walk Bella up to the school to her first class.
Bella sighs, "You don't have to walk me to class, Lexie, I'm fine I promise."
"I know, I'm just worried about my little cousin."
Bella scoffs, "You're a year older than me, and I'm taller than you."
Emmett starts to chuckle, "Shut up, Emmett. So, Bella,you may be taller but you will always be my little cousin."
Bella rolled her eyes and gave her cousin a hug, she then walked into class. Meanwhile Emmett is still laughing.
"I hadn't noticed before, but you are a lot shorter than Bella and she's not that tall to begin with. Aw I'm going out with a munchkin."
Alexis slaps Emmett's shoulder, "Shut up, I am not a munchkin."
"Oh but you are, but your my munchkin." Emmett says with a chuckle.
Alexis looks at Emmett dead in the eyes, "If you ever want a kiss again, Mr. Cullen, you will stop calling me that."
"Okay, Babe, no more Munchkin, even though you are tiny."
"Shut up you big bear, and lets get to class." Alexis says as she takes Emmett's hand.
"Yes, ma'am."
The next few weeks were interesting, Bella figured out that Edward and his family are vampires and that she was also in love with him, much to Lex's annoyance. She still didn't like Edward for Bella, but if he was who Bella wanted, she couldn't say anything. The problem was that Emmett still had not confessed that he too is a vampire. Even though Alexis already knew it was just weird being the only one left out of the loop, she wondered if maybe Emmett wasn't as serious about her as she thought.
It turned out that Emmett had been wanting to tell Lex for quite some time, but he was afraid of her reaction and that she would go screaming into the night. Edward thought that Emmett was being ridiculous.
"Emmett, she is not going to go screaming into the night." Edward says with a laugh, "She will, however, kick your ass if you don't tell her soon. I mean my girlfriend knows, Rosalie's girlfriend knows, how do you think she's going to feel knowing she was the last one to be told about us?"
Emmett looks down, "Really hurt and probably really pissed. But how should I tell her?"
"I don't know, but you better do it soon." Edward tells him.
Emmett went out hunting that night, mostly he wanted to be alone with his thoughts. He knew he had to tell Alexis soon, but he didn't know how, he wasn't as romantic as Edward, okay he wasn't as sappy as Edward, but he could definitely be romantic when he wanted to. But it didn't feel right to make this a romantic moment, this was something serious and potentially relationship ending. As Emmett ran through the woods he came to a decision.
'I'll just come out and say it, I'll be direct.' He thought. With his decision made he went home to prepare for the next day.
It was once again Friday, Emmett had stopped by the house to take Alexis to school and now he was waiting watching her play basketball against the rival school the Montesano Bulldogs. Once the game was over and Alexis had showered, Emmett escorted her to his jeep. They sat in silence as he drove her home, she looks out the window watching the landscape whiz by, finally Emmett broke the silence.
"Babe?"
"Yes, baby, what's on your mind?"
Emmett takes a deep breath, "There's been something on my mind for a while now, that I've been wanting to talk to you about."
"What is it?" Alexis asks, having a pretty good idea what he was going to say.
Emmett pulls over and parks his jeep. "Okay what I'm about to tell you is very serious, but I don't want you to freak out when I tell you. Give me a chance to explain, okay?"
"Sure, no problem."
Emmett closes his eyes and blurts it out." I'm a vampire, me and my entire family are vampires."
Alexis stares at him for a few seconds, then she smiles at him and kisses his cheek, "Yeah I know."
Emmett sighs in relief then it occurrs to him, "Wait, what? How long have you've known?"
"Since the accident, there is no way Edward could have stopped the van if he was human, I looked at the dent on Tyler's van, It looks like a shoulder print." Alexis lies smoothly.
"You mean to tell me that I have been torturing myself trying to figure out a way to tell you and you already knew?! Why didn't you say anything or at least confront me about it?"
"Well, I was actually waiting for you to feel comfortable enough to tell me."
"So then you're okay with this?"
"Yeah, I've had more than enough time to adjust to the idea that my boyfriend is a vampire."
Emmett gave her the most dazzling dimpled smile and kisses her fiercely, they break apart panting. Emmett kisses her forehead then hugs her tightly.
"I thought I would drive you away, if I told you the truth." Emmett whispers.
"Nope, you're stuck with me, though there is something important I have to tell you too." Alexis says in a shakey voice.
"What is it?"
"I'm, I…"
Instead of telling him she's a Lycan, she blurts out, "I love you."
Emmett rears back and stares at her, then he starts grinning like an idiot, "You love me?"
Alexis couldn't believe she said that instead, the statement was no less true, she was in love with him, but that's not was she was going to tell him.
"Yes, Emmett, I love you."
Emmett suddenly got out of the jeep and using his vampire speed went to the passenger side door and opened it. He pulls Lex out, picks her up and spins her around while he laughs.
"I love you too, Babe." He tells her when he sets her back down.
He then leans down and kisses her passionately. Lifting her up, Lex wraps her legs around his waist as he pushes her up against the jeep. They start making out like crazy until Emmett finally pulls away.
"I better get you home before your mom send Chief Swan out looking for us," Emmett says as he puts her down, "But tomorrow I'd like to take you to my house so you can officially meet my parents."
Alexis agrees and they both get back in the jeep, they hold hands the whole drive home. When they get there, Emmett walks Alexis to her door, he gives her a goodnight kiss.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow around noon."
"That would be perfect, I'll see you then." Alexis says.
"I love you, Lexie."
"I love you too, Emmett."
Emmett gives her a tender kiss then heads for his jeep, Alexis sighs and goes into her house, she couldn't wait to tell her mom and Samantha the news.
