A/N: So I have been asked about my third installment of Redneck Romeo. It is in the works and I'm still going over the first few chapters to make sure that everything is just right before I post it. It is coming soon though so just hang in there for those who are looking forward to it. Now on with this story enjoy :)
A few minutes later Charlie pulled up outside and came to the door. I hugged him with my good arm. "Dad all you have to do is get her in here and then either during or after dinner you ask her the big question. We all know that she is going to say yes she's just waiting on you." I said and he smiled. "Are you three ready to officially be a family?" Charlie asked looking between Leah, Seth, and I. "We've been ready for over a year now." We said together before laughing. "Alright then I better go get her out of the car." He said before turning and walking out the door. "In maybe an hour or two it will be official." I said and we all got in position waiting for Charlie and Sue to walk in.
When Charlie brought Sue in and we all smiled. "Charlie, Bella looks fine what is this all about?" Sue asked looking between all of us. "Well this is the end game as Bella called it. I had to get you over here to surprise you with dinner with the whole family, including Emmett because he is kind of like family." Charlie said and Sue smiled. "That is so sweet Charlie. And Leah, Seth you knew about this and didn't say anything?" she asked turning to her children. "Well it is called a surprise mom. If we had said anything then it wouldn't have been a surprise. But enough of that Emmett and I made dinner so come on." Seth said before walking into the dining room. "Let's go" Charlie said and we all walked into the dining room. Emmett pulled my chair out just like Charlie did for Sue. "Charlie why don't you say grace?" Emmett said after taking his seat next to me.
Once grace was said we dug into the most amazing looking dinner I have ever seen. Emmett had cooked a honey ham, home-made mashed potatoes, green beans, corn on the cob, and candied yams. "Emmett this is an amazing dinner thank you for this wonderful surprise." Sue said as she ate a little bit of everything. "Sue this isn't the only surprise." Charlie said looking around the table and answering all of ours' question with a simple nod. He was going to pop the big question right now. He got out of his seat and reached in his pocket for the ring box. Getting on one knee in front of Sue and I swear I could see the sweat rolling down his face. "Sue you have taken care of me for many years. And only two years ago you asked me out on an actual date. It was all uphill from there. You made my life amazing and you have treated Bella as if she were your daughter ever since she moved here. I love Leah and Seth as if they were my own and now I'd like to official be called their step-father and to be called your husband. Sue Clearwater will you do this old man a big favor and marry me?" Charlie asked and Sue covered her mouth when he opened the ring box. "Yes Charlie of course yes!" She said hugging him. They stood up and started kissing. "Um. Please don't forget that we are sitting right here." Seth said obviously not liking the kissing of our parents. I shot him a evil 'you better shut your mouth now' look. Sue laughed at her son before Charlie slipped the beautiful ring on Sue's finger.
"Now tell me did you all know that he was going to do this?" Sue asked when they finally sat back down. None of us could control the laughter that started after that. "All of us. We all pitched in for the night. Because Charlie and Emmett didn't want me doing much they decided to do it here so that Emmett could cook and keep an eye on me." I said and she smiled. "Well thank you all." She said before we returned to eating the perfect meal.
After dinner Sue and Charlie wanted some alone time which made Leah, Seth, and I groan knowing that they were probably about to go have sex. "Please just go to Charlie's." Leah said and Sue and Charlie agreed since none of their children would be there. They left not long after. "Well the night is still young. Anyone up for a movie?" Emmett asked and we all agreed only if we could change first. Leah helped me to Emmett's room and helped me change back into a pair of yoga pants and a baggy t-shirt. I gave her a pair of yoga pants and a shirt to borrow and once she and I were both changed we went in the living room where Seth was already going through the movies with Emmett. "Your room is free babe." I said and he nodded before getting up to go change. Quickly he was back in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt with Ohio state university on it. Emmett grabbed the movie he and Seth had picked and put it in before joining me on the couch and put my feet in his lap. Seth and Leah took the two chairs and soon we were all engulfed in to the movie, White House Down.
The movie came to an end and when I looked over Leah was fast asleep in the chair. "Em can you carry her to the spare room. I'll text Sue and let her know that Leah and Seth are just going to spend the night. It's not like tomorrow is a school day or anything." I said and Emmett nodded before getting up and carrying Leah to the spare room. I looked to Seth who was smiling. "So where do I get to sleep?" he asked and I laughed. "The couch pulls out into a bed. That's where you get to sleep." I said and he laughed. "Cool deal. He said helping me up. "I'll text mom. You go enjoy your man." He said smiling. "Thanks Seth. You know I don't know how brothers are supposed to be but I'm pretty sure I have the most awesome step-brother in the world." I said giving him a hug. "And I know how sisters are and you are pretty damn awesome Bells." He said hugging me back. I laughed and shook my head.
"You ready for bed Bells?" Emmett asked coming back into the living room. "Yeah I can get myself to the bed room. You set Seth up." I said walking past him down the hall. I climbed in Emmett's bed on what he calls my side of the bed and smiled. Looking around it seemed as if I had been living with him for a while. Our stuff was mixed together, in the closet he made room for my clothes, he did the same in the dresser. Hell in the bathroom there was a double sink and I claimed the one he wasn't using, so now it has all of my bathroom stuff around it and in the shower and medicine cabinet. I could honestly seem myself living with this man because he knew how to care for a woman and he showed me more love than Edward ever did. He cared about me when I was shot, he is still trying to make sure that I don't over-do myself so that I can heal properly from the incident. He truly cared and he didn't ask for anything in return other than my complete honesty and trust, which I had no problem giving to him.
I turned over and my head hit his pillow and my smile should have broke my face when his scent filtered up my nose. Old spice, peppermint, and his shampoo, all Emmett and every time I smelled anything like this my mind would go straight to him. "Hey you. You're on my pillow." Emmett's booming voice said causing me to laughed. "What are you gonna do about it?" I asked looking up to him. "Well if you weren't hurt I would be tickling you like crazy right now. But I will just have to tell you that I'm gonna sleep on the floor if you don't slide over." I huffed but slid over anyway knowing that he would actually sleep on the floor if I wanted the whole bed to myself. "Happy?" I asked when he climbed in bed. "Nope. Now you can slide back over here and use me as your pillow." He said and I smiled but did just that. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat for a few minutes before looking up at him.
"Em I don't want to go home. You know when I'm all better." I said and he chuckled. "And why's that?" he asked looking down into my eyes. "Because I love being here. I love being with you." I told him and he kept right on smiling. "Well Bells, I love having you here and if it were up to me I would never let you out of this bed. But you do still have school and I'm sure you want to go off to college somewhere instead of staying in this little town." He said and I sat up a little. "Emmett McCarty I love this little town. And as long as you're here then I want to be here too." I said and he sighed. "Bella don't make plans to stay here just because of me. You should never plan your life around some guy." He said and I sat straight up and looked at him. "You are not just some guy Emmett. Edward wanted me to go off to Dartmouth with him but I turned it down and told him that I wanted to stay close to Charlie and it's true. I'm not just planning my life around you. Dad is all I have left. My mom is gone, my step-dad is gone, Charlie is the last parent I have and I will be damned if something happens to him and I am on the other side of the fucking country. I have already applied and have been accepted Peninsula College. That's where I'm going." I told him and he sat up a little. "Okay I'm sorry for sounding so mean Bells but I hope you understand what I was saying. I don't want to be the reason that you miss out on going to some fancy ivy league school." Em said and I smiled. "Thank you for thinking about my future but no you are not the reason that I am staying." With that we both laid back down again.
"You know you could always talk to Charlie about you moving in." Emmett said and I laughed. "Are you bulletproof or something? Because I don't know that Charlie would like that too much." I said and Emmett laughed. "Well you never know he might like me enough to let you do it. Besides you are an adult." He said and I shrugged. I let that thought play through my mind. Would Charlie really let me move in with Emmett? What about Rosalie? Would she have a fit if I moved in with her soon to be ex-husband? You know what screw what people think. I am going to talk to Charlie when I am all healed and tell him that I want to live with Emmett. With the determination of telling Charlie I drifted off to sleep with dreams of living with the love of my life.
