EMMETT POV

I suggested that Edward and Bella go hunting for a few hours, since it had been a while since they had gone. Also since Bella had recovered from a nearly fatal injury, it would be good to get her to go out and get some more blood in her. Rose and Alice also thought hunting would be good for her. Hey, listen to the experts. They were the only two who wanted medical training from Carlisle.

Rose and Alice had gone to the party store earlier. You know Alice. She loves to party. Yellow, red, and orange streamers flew every which-way in every room of this house. Except the bedrooms. They are off-limits. Jasper and I hid a cake Alice bought. It's all girly, with all these stripes the same color as the streamers with a sunflower on the top.

"I think we are ready now." Alice said after a few minutes of running around.

"Really? Are you sure? You didn't miss a spot?" I said sarcastically, looking around at the colorful room.

"She didn't miss an inch." Jasper said. "It looks great."

"Thanks, Jasper!" She said happily, wrapping her arm around him. "I'm going to text Edward and tell him to come home."

She pulled out her cell phone and started tapping away.

Jasper walked towards the door, putting on his long, leather jacket.

"Where are you going?" Alice asked Jasper, pocketing the cell phone.

"You know I really don't like parties. I'll be back soon, I'm just taking a short walk." He said, opening the door.

He was gone.

I knew Alice was upset. He always stayed for parties. I don't know why he left, either. It's his problem. Alice is his wife. If anyone, she'd know.

Edward and Bella walked in the door happily. They both glowed. Maybe I was exaggerating, but I don't think so. It was like when they first met… Edward wouldn't stop 'following' her (its called stalking, but Edward denies it).

"So, what's with this place? It looks amazing, by the way. Alice, you did it, didn't you?" Bella said straightaway.

"Yes, I am so ashamed." She said sarcastically. Alice and Bella should have been sisters, the way they get along.

"It's our way of saying… thanks for living." I said stupidly.

"Emmett!!" Rosalie said, slapping me in the arm.

"Do that again, it felt good." I said, playing with her. She was so funny when she was mad.

"Oh, shut up, Emmett." Rosalie said, turning away from me and towards the others instead.

It was quiet for a second. Alice broke the silence.

"Should we sit down, then?" Alice said. She walked past me on the way to the couch. "Get the stuff out of the fridge." She whispered to me harshly.

"Okay." I said, walking to the kitchen, grabbing the cake, and setting it on the table within seconds.

We all sat around and admired the cake. Then we started talking… and joking. It was all fun and games and giggles, and then Alice got quiet. She sat up straight, eyes wide. Totally focused and… Alert. Oh No.

"Jasper…" She said. "Don't do it, Jasper. Turn around."

"What?" I said, confused.

"Turn around, Jasper. Damn it, she will kill you!"
