Hello again! I know I just got out two chapters pretty close together but this day is a long one and I was just so excited! Emmett kept bugging me and I had to get this part done too!

I hope you like it!

(insert disclaimer here! S.M. owns twilight!)

Emmett's POV:

I let Violets statement about me eating our salesmen go but knew I had to talk to the family ASAP! I really didn't know what to think and I was worried. The Volturi were constantly breathing down out backs and with everything she has been through she doesn't need them going after her or Alexandra.

After we left the Mini Cooper lot I drove us straight to Wal-Mart and we headed into the baby department. She argued about car seats. I wanted to buy a Sponge-bob car seat and she told me that Alexandra has never even seen Sponge-bob. Instead she picked up an aqua colored hi backed five point harness one. She argued when I picked up the second one though. I told her I needed one for my jeep too. She sighed and rolled her eyes but didn't say anything else. Then I went crazy! I started throwing cloths in the cart that I thought were cute and Alexandra would look cute in. I mean I know I am not Alice but she taught me well and frankly Alice wasn't there and I like them. Violet was putting things back as fast as I was filling the cart. We had a full-out argument right there in the middle of the girls department. She even stomped her foot in frustration. It was hilarious until she got mad. Man for a human she is scary when she gets mad. I could have sworn fire was going to shoot out of her ears. I put everything back but the car seats and a little ballerina outfit I picked up. For some reason she didn't say a word about that just kind of looked sad again. I hate it when she looks sad. Really makes me want to rip something apart.

I also made her visit the toy department with me and watched everything she looked at. I was going back as soon as she was back at the hospital and the family meeting was over. Let's not even talk about Halloween. It is coming up in a two weeks and what three-year old doesn't like candy! I just know we got to take Alexandra out to get some of that candy!

When I dropped Violet off at the hospital I found out that Esme had left Renesmee with Alexandra and Alexandra was excited to get the McDonald's I has stopped to get her. Then Renesmee and I headed home. I was not looking forward to this family meeting.

The house was quiet when we walked thru the front door but I could hear Jacobs's steady heartbeat. They were all in the dining room around Esme's antique table. The room was more for show than anything else and the only time we ever went in there was for family meetings. It was the same way in each house we ever lived in.

I took the only empty seat next to Carlisle and waited. Everyone looked at my quietly and I took an unneeded deep breath, "I think Violet knows what we are. I don't know how but I think she knows. She told me I wasn't allowed to hit or EAT our salesman at the car lot today."

Bella looked at me concerned, "are you sure that is what she meant?"

What the hell. She was questioning my suspicions?! I know what she said and I know what she meant. It wasn't something that was a question really. I just knew we had to protect her even if that meant taking her with us when it was time to leave. Alexandra deserved to go to ballet, Disney world, and anything else she wanted to do and Violet… well Violet couldn't not be around to see all that stuff. I'll be damned if another person I cared about was going to get hurt by the damn Volturi trying to enforce their damn laws.

Alice and Edward starting laughing quietly but no one else said anything and started getting mad at them, "would you two knock it the fuck off this is serious!"

Carlisle placed his hand on my shoulder. "Emmett is right I think Violet knows about us. Alexandra told us today that she knows Emmett, Esme and I don't have heartbeats. She proudly informed Esme and I that we were Zombies. She even went as far to say her mother told her that vampires and werewolves are real. I corrected her about us being zombies but I also told her that we couldn't tell her what we were because it was dangerous. I am fairly certain neither Violet nor Alexandra will say anything however I am worried about their safety."

Esme nodded in agreement, "I agree with Carlisle and Emmett. Alexandra was very serious and very mindful about keeping it a secret when she asked to talk to me privately."

Alice started bouncing up and down in her seat and Jasper put a hand on her to calm her down. "I've seen her with us. Alexandra is the one I am confused about. I am not sure what happens. Things go black like they do when the wolves are around. Sometimes she is there and sometimes she isn't."

This peaked my interest, "you mean like with us all the time or like one of us?"

Alice grinned, "In the infinite words of one River Song spoilers!"

God I hate it when she does that! She just discovered Dr. Who and has adopted that character's catch phrase as her own. I growled at her and she just grinned at me. "I'll burn your cloths if you don't tell me."

"Oh please don't I don't want to go shopping with her again!" Bella sighed miserably. "If you love me you won't!"

I sighed and looked back at Carlisle. "So what are we going to do? My vote is we convince her to move with us. She doesn't have anyone else to help her. She kind of needs us. "

Carlisle nodded, "I agree that she doesn't have anyone else and I am more than willing to open our home to her for as long as she wants it but first I think we need to find out what she knows. If she does not know about us then telling her may be a bad idea. The last time the Volturi visited us we lost Rosalie."

The mention of my wife hit me in the chest like a ton of bricks and I felt that blinding pain again. The guilt and pain coursed through my veins like the venom in my system. Every fiber of my makeup ached. I seemed to get lost until I heard my name being called over and over in my left ear, "Emmett? Emmett? Is that you? If that is you this is not really funny. Please talk to me." It was Violet's soothing voice on the phone. Renesmee had called her and was holding the phone up to my ear.

I took the phone from her and shook my head a little, "yeah it's me. Sorry."

"Well is there something you needed or is this a crank call?"

"No um…" I was trying to figure out why Renesmee had called her and was coming up blank, "ah… my um… oh yeah I wanted to remind you that your car will be delivered tomorrow at 3pm. You need to call the dealership tomorrow morning and tell them the phone number of where you can be reached so they can meet you in the parking garage."

"Oh…" she sounded kind of disappointed. "I won't forget."

"Ok well I'll talk to you later."

"You can call anytime. I don't mind. Oh and Emmett?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for today. I had fun today despite the fact that you wanted to buy out the entire girls section of Wal-Mart. I will see you at the gym in the morning. Have a good night and don't forget to eat… um… whatever. I know you are hungry." With that she hung up the phone on her end and I sat there looking at it confused.

Jasper sent me some calming waves and I smiled at him weakly, "thanks"

He nodded and grinned at me, "sounds like she does know. You need to invite her over for dinner or somethin'."

"That's a wonderful idea! We already cook for Jacob and Renesmee. I would love to have her here!" Esme said excitedly. "I could make up the other two rooms for her and Alexandra! Oh this will be so much fun!"

"no." Jacob, Edward and I said at the same time.

"No?" Esme said confused and a little sad.

"You want to invite two humans to live with a house full of vampires? This is a bad idea! Remember when Bella was human? Everyone here had problems with her blood at one point of another." Jacob said.

"Jacob is right. With a small child they are constantly falling and scraping knees, elbows or whatever else takes the brunt of their fall. Them living under the same roof as us would be difficult. They would need another house for them to live in." Carlisle stated simply.

I spoke up quickly, "I will live in that house just to make sure they are protected."

Alice looked at Edward and snickered. It was really getting old. Was it wrong of me to want to protect Violet and her daughter?

"No Emmett it isn't wrong for you to want to protect them." Edward answered my unspoken question.

"Yeah and it is a good idea you live with them." Alice piped up confirming my decision was the right one.

"Well then I guess we will take this to a vote. If Violet knows about us or at least our kind should we let her come with us?" Carlisle asked. "I vote yes."

"YES!" Alice said bouncing up and down in her chair again.

Edward and Bella looked at each other in that disgusting way they do and then nodded together, "yes."

Renesmee bounced and tugged on Jacobs arm, "yes! Come on Jake! Say yes! For me?" she batted her eyes at him. The dude was a goner.

He sighed and run his hands threw his hair, "it's dangerous and I don't think it is a good idea but yes for Nessie."

Jasper nodded in agreement and Esme clapped her hands, "oh this is wonderful, a new baby to pamper!"

Carlisle chuckled, "so the next question is where we are going to move to this time?"

Bella grinned, "We could go to Seattle! It's close to my dad and Forks!"

"I like that idea somewhere outside of Seattle would be good." I agreed with Bella on this one.

"Alright, Alexandra can be released in two weeks if everything goes well. Esme start looking for houses close together or a plot of land and we will just build two houses."

"I'll start the paperwork for Violet and Alexandra!" I was really excited about them coming with us. I'm gona' spoil that kid rotten!

"Emmett, slow down. First you have to convince Violet to move with us." Jasper said in his calm manner.

"Right, convince Violet…" crap how am I going to do that? Crap! I hadn't thought of that one. How can I convince her to move with us? She already said she didn't just want to be some charity case. What that what I was doing? Was I making them my charity case? I mean she is my friend; she's sweet, kind and really fucking strong. Anyone who can go thru the crap she has gone thru and still be smiling has got to be made of some sort of fucking steel or a god damn superhero. Did I care for her as more than a friend? Could I even do that to Rosalie?

I was brought out of my musings by a hand being placed on my shoulder. When I looked up the room was empty and Edward was smiling down at me. "Rose would want you to be happy. Talk to her. Start slow. Who knows maybe she could be a second chance for you."
