Thank you , so much for all of the wonderful reviews. I'm really happy everyone is enjoying my story.

I'm on Spring break. Thank Goodness, so I should be able to update a lot more.

I don't really know if a lot of people read these little 'Author Notes' so I think I'll just get on with the story.

I Own Nothing!


RPOV

Emmett slept soundly through the night, holding me extremely close. At first I thought my cold skin would bother him and make sleeping uncomfortable, but I was wrong. Every time I would move so he could be more comfy he would just grab me and pull me into his chest. I couldn't complain though, being that close to him made me feel loved, wanted.

I could see the sun starting to rise and it wasn't long until I heard Bella stirring upstairs.

"Edward…"

"Yes Bella?"

"It's time to get up sleepy head!"

"Ok I'm up." I could hear Bella's feet piddle paddling down the hallway and towards my room. Edward's soft foot-steps followed behind her.

"Edward, where's my daddy?"

"In that room right there, but he's sleeping right now. After breakfast we'll wake him up." Thank you Edward, Emmett really needs his rest.

"But I always eat breakfast with him. I'll go wake him up." The door opened and in walked Bella, she looked around the room before she spotted me and Emmett in bed. She ran over towards us and was just about to get on the bed.

"Bella," I used a warning type tone causing her to stop and look up at me. "Go eat breakfast with Edward and let your dad sleep a little bit. He had a long day yesterday and he needs to sleep." I whispered.

"Okay," her lip quivered and she walked back towards the door. Edward picked her up giving me a slight smirk. I could hear Esme down-stairs making pancakes and reading the instructions to Alice as she ran and got the ingredients. I looked up at the man who had me wrapped in his arms. I was glad I could let him have as much peace as he could get before he had to start the day.


EmPOV

I woke up in a room decorated in red and in black. I was so confused before yesterday's events flooded back to me. Tears began to well up into my eyes, but I pushed them aside not wanting to show my weakness.

"Are you up?"

"Yeah," rubbing my eyes I looked down at Rose, "What time is it?" She smiled and began rubbing my back.

"Just a little past ten."

"Really? That's surprising; usually Bella wakes me up at seven."

"I know, she came in and tried to wake you up. I sent her away saying that you needed your rest."

"Thanks, it feels good to get more sleep." I yawned and stretched, my stomach growled loudly making Rosalie laugh.

"Let's get that stomach of yours filled." I couldn't complain with that. Getting out of her bed we made our way downstairs. I could hear what sounded like Dora playing from in the living room, so I knew Bella was being entertained.

Walking into the kitchen I was assaulted by the smell of pancakes causing my mouth to water. Yummy. As I sat down a plate of pancakes were set on the table with a smiling Esme on the other side.

"Bella said they were really good. Tell me what you think." I smiled and brought a piece up to my mouth to try. The pancake was absolutely perfect; it tasted like a little mini cake with maple syrup. The taste was indescribable, I felt as though heaven was in my mouth and angels were singing to my taste buds. Esme was looking at me expecting me to answer.

"These are amazing. I've never had pancakes this good in my life."

"Oh that's wonderful. I'm glad you like them. While I'm out today I'll pick up some groceries. I really think I'm getting the hang of this cooking." Smiling she left towards another part of the kitchen and began writing on a piece of notebook paper.

It didn't take long for me to finish the three pancakes on my plate and before I could blink I had three more pancakes. Looking up Rosalie was smiling at me and gave me a wink with a kiss on the check before running away. God I loved that woman. After finishing Esme came and grabbed my plate and took it to the sink to get washed.

"Thank you Esme."

"No problem Emmett, I have to make sure my kids are well fed." She gave me a heart-warming smile which I returned. She already thought me as one of her kids. I couldn't help the happiness that flowed through me then.

Walking into the living room I could hear the familiar sounds of Sponge-Bob filling the living room. Man I feel bad for that guy. When I turned the corner I saw Jasper and Bella sitting on the couch where she was holding Jasper's hand and pointing out characters on the screen.

"That's Mr. Krabs and he loves money. And that one is Squidward and he is just mean and grumpy all the time."

"Like Edward?" Jasper asked with a smirk.

"Edwards not like Squidward."

"Oh yes he is, they both can be grumpy and Edwards name ends with 'ward' and so does Sqiudward's." Bella seemed to think about this for a second before she started to giggle.

"Your right. But we won't tell Edward ok? It will be our secret." Jasper smiled and nodded his head before they united their pinkies.

"What are you two doing in here?" Bella looked over her shoulder and smiled brightly.

"Me and Jasper are watching Sponge-Bob. Jasper has never seen it, isn't that crazy?"

"Absolutely." I sat down next to Bella pulling her into my lap where she still continued to tell Jasper about the characters.

"Emmett?" Looking over at the stairs I saw Rosalie in all her glory. She wore a dark purple dress with leggings and heels. I so wanted to jump off this couch and run straight towards her and ravish her with kisses. Her lips were moving which made realize she had been talking the entire time I was dreaming about kissing her.

"Can you repeat that?"

"I said because we have so much stuff to do would you mind leaving Bella here with Alice, Edward, and Jasper?" I thought it over and all though leaving my child with three vampires didn't seem like the best option, but I preferred to leave her with them then some stupid high school girl.

"That's fine Rose, I really don't want her to feel uncomfortable with everything that we have to plan." She nodded her head before walking over towards us and sitting down near me. Bella who noticed when the cushion sinking down turned to stare at Rose before reaching her hands out so Rosalie could take her.

The smile that was planted on both of their faces when Bella was in Rosalie's arms made my heart swell up ten-fold. Though I had tried to do my best at raising Bella and giving her all of the things she needed to feel loved; there was one thing I could never giver her. The love from a nurturing mother, and it seemed as though Rosalie would be the woman to give it to her. Giving them both a kiss on the head I went upstairs to take a shower and get ready.

Taking the shower made me relax as I knew what was to come. First we would go to the lawyer and have him read us the will which is to say how my grandfather wants to be buried, the we would go to the local funeral home and pick the 2 days the wake would be, and after that we would go to the cemetery and pick out a stone to put my grandfathers name on it. This was going to be an extremely tuff day but as long as I had my Rosalie, I knew I could get through this.

After getting ready and saying goodbye to everyone Rose and I were driving to the lawyer. It wasn't long before we were seated down and started getting to business.

"Hello I am Justin Pult and we are here to discuss your grandfathers Will is that correct?" He said while looking down at his papers.

"Yes it is."

"Well there really isn't much to discuss seeing as how your grandfather left you pretty much everything. There is even a hefty bank account for an Isabella Marie Swan for when she turns 18 as college money. But everything else is now in your name. He did leave you this letter and asked if I could give it to you when the time came." I starred at this Justin guy in disbelief. Did I really get everything? "Do you have any questions?" Shaking my head no he smiled before standing up and reaching for my hand for a shake. "I'm sorry for your loss and if you have any questions feel free to call. Now if you'll excuse me I have a meeting that I have to catch." And just as fast as he came in he went right out.

Once Rose and I made it to the car I asked her if we could go by the old elementary school park and so we did. We sat there for some time before I pulled out the letter and placed it so it was in front of me Rose and I so we could both read it.

Dear Emmett,

I f you are reading this then I have passed away and it's about time. My joints were killing me and that damn bird that sat by my widow each mourning made me want to grab the gun and shoot. Who cares if it's a mockingbird? Peaceful birds my ass, I swear it knew I hated it and chirped extra loudly to piss me off. Not to mention that stupid neighbor of ours, don't let him get to you now that I'm gone. If he says some stupid shit about how he saved my ass back in the war tell him at least I had the battle scar wound that had all the ladies at the bingo tournament loved. That will show him.

It's time to get serious now. Emmett I just want you to know how much I love you. I am so happy that I could be a part of your life and raise you into the gentleman you are today. I only hope that all of the things I have taught you will help you raise Bella. Before I forget I must say you better keep an eye on that girl as she gets older. She is going to be quite a looker and all of those boys are going to be chasing after her.

I love you so much and I never want you to forget that. Your parents would be so proud of you and I'm so happy I could see you grow.

I would like to be buried next to your grandmother and your parents. I loved them dearly and I hope you can find that one special person to spend the rest of your life with.

As for the house and the shop everything is yours. I set up a college fund for Bella and I would hope you two would keep everything in the family. My father built that house from the ground up and I would prefer it to stay in the hand of the McCarthy's for generations to come, though I'm sure you don't want to think about that quite yet.

I love you Emmett and I don't think I can stress that enough. Be safe and take care of your family.

Love,

Henry Theodore McCarthy

I hadn't realized I was crying until Rosalie was turned in my lap hugging me and rubbing my back. I was going to do exactly what was said on the will. And I will take care of my family. That family included my little girl and the Cullen's.

After Emmett and Rosalie had left Alice decided that everyone would have a great time if we were to go to the mall. I couldn't understand why Alice had such a huge obsession with clothes but I think it had something that gave her a sense of feeling more human. A giggle broke me out of my train of thought and when I looked down I saw a smiling Bella.

"What's so funny darl'in?" Alice and Edward were in front of us talking about Emmett's and Rosalie's new relationship. It took me a while to figure out if I liked this new relationship but after living with her and feeling depression and sadness consume her feelings it was nice to feel happiness roll off of her. And even though I wasn't her actual brother, I felt the need to make sure she was safe and happy. If being with Emmett was going to make her happy then I supported it.

"Look over there Jasper." Bella pointed to a cardboard cut-out of Squidward and I couldn't help the smile that spread to my face. "Now picture him with Edwards head." I laughed so hard people turned around to stare two of which were Alice and Edward giving me a curious look. I thought of what I would say to Alice about why I laughed and what I had picture causing her bell-like laugh to bounce off the mall walls. Edward rolled his eyes and started walking again.

"You are so funny." She giggled and I reached down to grab her and place her on my shoulders.

We had been at the mall for three hours now and both of Edward and mine hands were full of shopping bags. Bella looked dead on her feet and ready to go home.

"I'm hungry." As to make her statement true her stomach grumbled.

"Ok sweetie, Jasper, Edward and you can go and get something to eat. I just see myself getting one more thing and then we can head home." Alice kissed Bella on the forehead before walking towards another shop. Edward moved all of his bags into one hand so he could hold Bella's as we went to the food court.

"What do you want to eat darl'in?"

"Can I have a sandwich and french-fries."

"Sure you can. What type of sandwich?"

"Turkey with cheese please." We found a small round table and while Edward went to stand in line to get something to eat I sat with Bella. "Jasper, why do you talk funny?"

Chuckling I answered, "Because I'm from the south and in the south people talk like this."

"Oh, I see," we sat silent for a minute before Bella asked another question, "Jasper, do you know how to read?" Nodding my head Bella smiled brightly, excitement radiating off of her, "Could you read me a story when we get home?"

"Sure, but after I read the story I think you're going to need a little nap." Edward arrived with her food giving it a disgusting look before setting it down in front of her.

"Thank you!" Bella began eating and when she finished Alice walked up from behind me and placed her hands over my eyes.

"Guess who?"

"I don't know who it could be. Hmmm, Bella can you help me out?" Bella giggled.

"Ok she's short, and has black spiky hair."

"Is it Alice?" Alice removed her hands and gave me a peck on the lips.

"Are we ready to go?"

"I think so." Looking over, Bella and Edward nodded their heads in agreement.

"Good, oh I picked this up for you Jazz," she tossed me a bag from Barns & Noble. In the bag was a children version of the classic Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. Smiling I gave her a kiss on the check before standing up and grabbing some bags. Edward and I followed Alice and Bella to the Volvo. And after twenty minutes of trying to fit all of the bags into the trunk, I sat in the backseat with Bella and began to read the story.


So I started reading the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and it's really good. It reminds me of something a hippie from the 70's would write about. I suggest people to read it. It's completely different from the Disney cartoon movie, and has some similarities to the Tim Burton movie that just came out.

But, what did you think?
