There we go three chapters in one day. I hope you like them.

Emmett POV

It was Friday and the end of the work week. I was just on my way to see Bell and Elijah for dinner. Over the last few weeks we made it a ritual that I went over there and had dinner with them. I scored big time with that deal I got to see my son, have a home cooked meal and see the girl who I was in love with. Bella had told me how Edward had come around with the divorce papers and how she refused to sign them until he got them rewritten. He went back to her the next week with new ones and they both sign them. Edward had spoken to me about being with Bella the day after they both signed them.

"Emmett me and Bella just sign the divorce papers. She's all yours now take care of her and Elijah or I'll beat you to the shit again."

"Unfortunately I don't think she wants me like that. But it doesn't mean I'm not going to stop trying. You know I loved her when Alice first introduced us? You just had the balls to ask her out first. I really appreciate you saying this Edward even after all of the shit that has happened." I patted him on the back he was such a good brother. He put the past behind him and was looking into the future, which seemed to hold the fiery blond who lives with Bella.

"We all just have to be happy let's just forget the past and look into the future with hopefully the two wonderful women we've met."

I loved Bella so much still and I was just going to wait until she was ready for us to be more then parents to our little boy. I had decided that tonight I was going to ask Bella if I could take care of Elijah for the weekend. So I could just spend some quality time with my little boy. When I walked into the house it smelt delicious. Bella was cooking away in the kitchen while my little man was walking around making his own entertainment. When I walked in he ran up to me yelling the biggest daddy, that made Bella turn around.

"Hey you're early." I went over with Elijah in my arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek she blushed, which I loved to see.

"Yeah I got off work early so I thought I would come over and plus there was something I wanted to ask you." I put Elijah in his high chair while Bella served us dinner.

"Should I be nervous?" She asked while looking at the food avoiding my eyes.

"No not at all I just wanted to ask if you would let me have Elijah for the weekend so I can spend some father son time bonding with him." She looked up stunned at what I had just asked.

"Sure Emmett that's fine I mean he's your son to. I'll pack a bag for him after dinner." We continued eating dinner with casual conversation about our days. When we had finished she packed his bag and handed it to me. She gave Elijah a kiss, who was in my arm.

"You be good for daddy ok? I'll miss you baby boy I'll see you soon." She looked like she was about to cry.

"Bells I don't have to take him if it'll upset you." She shook her head putting a smile on her face.

"No it's good for you. You need this I've had two years, two days isn't going to kill me."

"Ok we'll see you Sunday afternoon. Say goodbye to mummy. Bye Bella." I leant down and gave her a kiss on the check before leaving with my son.

The day after I had found out about Elijah I went to the store and bought everything I would need for him. He had his own little room set up in my house. Alice insisted on decorating it so it was in all different shades of green. Me and Elijah were having a good night we watched Finding Nemo together and ate some ice cream which I knew Bella would not be happy about. I had put him to bed not long ago and was just about ready for bed myself when he started crying. I went to his room and he refused to settle. He kept crying mummy.

"She's not here little man it's just daddy." I tried for hours to get him back to sleep, but he wouldn't. I finally got him calm when I laid him down on my bed and danced around like a monkey. He giggled himself to sleep and I was thankful for that. I didn't move him because I was scared he was going to wake up and cry again instead I fell asleep next to my son for the first time.

I awoke to a little hand hitting my face.

"Elijah stop hitting daddy we're meant to be sleeping." He continued to hit me.

"Daddy wake up." I rolled over grabbing him.

"This is what you get for waking daddy up. You have to give me lots of hugs little man." He tried to escape my grasp by wriggling around.

"Come on we're going to have breakfast and then we're going to the aquarium." He squealed in my ear then.

Elijah loved the aquarium, he loved all of the colourful fish and he got scared when we saw the sharks and he held on to me for dear life. When he did that he made me feel like I was the most important in the world because he needed me. The rest of the weekend went fine except him refusing to sleep in his own bed. I woke up Sunday to the same slap in the face as I did the day before. When it came to the afternoon I didn't actually want to take him home but I needed to.

I pulled up at Bella's and she was waiting at the door for Elijah he ran up to her.

"Did you have a good weekend baby?"

"Yeah I saw fisheys and daddy wake up with hit." She giggled at his little toddler sentence.

"So I take it you went to the aquarium and what this about daddy wakes up with hit?" She asked me. I looked down embarrassed that I had given into Elijah and allowed him to sleep in my bed, the second night.

"He wouldn't sleep unless he was in my bed and when he woke up he thought it was hilarious to wake daddy up by slapping my face." She frowned.

"It was fine Bella I enjoyed waking up to him. It was his own little personal wake up call." I followed her inside.

"So Bella I realised something this weekend."

"And what was that Em?" There she goes with my nickname again. God I could take her right now if our son wasn't in the room

"Well I realised we haven't told my parents that Elijah is actually mine. So I was thinking we could go down maybe next weekend and see them. It's probably better to tell them in person and plus they haven't seen Elijah in a year and you could see your dad. Last I heard he was pretty worried about you." She bit her lip thinking about whether this was a good idea or not. I thought it was a great idea I really wanted see my parents and Elijah hadn't seen them in so long.

"Please Bella for me. It'll be our own family trip." She nodded and I fist pumped watching Elijah try and copy me.

"Ok fine but if I don't feel comfortable we leave straight away." I picked her up and swung her around.

"I love you Bells. Thank you so much." I don't think she thought I was serious when I said I loved her but I was dead serious. I would marry her tomorrow if I knew she felt the same.
