Enjoy!

BPOV

"Thank you Rose but I cannot eat another bite!" I said as I placed my hand on my bloated stomach and shook my head. Rosalie had made me a cheese omelet for breakfast and I was able to stuff two in my stomach but I could hold no more.

"But Bella you have hardly eaten at all!" She said as she tried to break more eggs into a bowl.

"Rose, she already had two. She can't handle anymore." Edward said coming to my defense. I smiled at him while trying to hold back a burp. That would so not be attractive.

"Fine! I guess Emmett will just have another one." She said as she cracked three more eggs into the bowl and started whisking away. We were currently sitting at the island with Edward on my side and Emmett sitting across from me. He was currently on his third omelet halfway down his throat as he looked at his wife and nodded his head. Rose shook her head but once she turned back towards the stove I could see a smile grow on her face.

"Me and Bella will just be in the living room." Edward said as he looked back at me and I nodded. I did like Emmett but watching him eat made my stomach turn. He showed the eggs no mercy.

Edward softly grasped his hand over mine and I followed him into the living room. He sat down in the middle of the long couch and patted the spot next to him. I silently obliged and snuggled close to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders as I tucked my head under his chin. My heat fluttered being so close to him. For a couple seconds it was really quiet. It wasn't uncomfortable. It was nice really. There wasn't a rush to speak. But I was curious about something.

"So Edward.." I said as I lifted my head slowly and looked into his eyes. I could feel my cheeks burning pink but I pushed through the nerves and asked anyway. "Can you tell me about Ethoros?"

"What would you like to know?" He asked.

"I don't know. But I guess I'm confused. You live in both Ethoros and Everdale?"

He scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Well Ethoros is the planet and Everdale is the community where I live. Where you have cities and towns we have communities because it's not ran by one person but by a group of people. Usually a group of elders from different sectors of the community."

"A sector?" I asked and probably looked confused.

"A sector could be anything from farming, carpentry, law enforcement." He explained and I nodded my head. It did make sense. To have different people from different parts of the town making decisions together. It sounded very democratic to know that everyone had a voice.

"Is your family a part of the elders?"

He shook his head. "No, my father is not old enough to be a part of the elders and he feels he is not ready for that type of responsibility. And my mother is too in love with her business and her family to want the job."

"Your mother has a business?" I was intrigued. I had never met anyone who owned their own business.

"Yes, she's a baker. She started it when her and my father married. He studied medicine and my mother loved making cookies and pies. After I began schooling she decided to start her business. She's been successful ever since."

"What does she actually bake?"

"Well anything really. Wedding cakes, pies, cookies, brownies, cramwells, sugar dust, choco-"

"I'm sorry but cramwells?" I had to ask.

"Yeah they are delicious. Its caramel brownies. And sugar dust is a chocolate cake covered in crushed vanilla cookies."

"It sounds delicious." I could feel my mouth watering just thinking about it. "She sounds great. I'd love to meet her one day. I bake but its nothing extravagant." I lamely admitted. "Just a chocolate cake here and there."

"I'd love to taste it sometime." He said as he smiled at me. I have never really cooked for anyone except my parents and a few occasions for Angela. Jessica swore off sweets for a year but she had a slice every now and then. I blushed when he asked for a cake.

"I'm pretty sure it won't taste as good as your mother's." I said as I shook my head. Edward was about to say something when Emmett walked into the room and sat in between us on the couch. He then placed an arm around each of us as he yawned dramatically. I could see Edward clenching his jaw shut but Emmett was smiling wide.

"So what did I miss?" He asked as he looked between us. Edward was giving him the death stare as Emmett smiled even wider. I couldn't help but chuckle. His smile was infectious.

"Well we were just talking about your mother's baking." I finally answered.

"Yes. My mom is wonderful at baking. I could eat her cookies all day. Rosie is just under her." He said as his eyes focused somewhere else. "You know I can bake too." He said as his body faced me fully.

"You can?" I asked.

"Yes. I mean I can only make brownies but I can make the best batch you've ever had. Come." He said as he stood up from the couch and offered his hand to me. "Watch the master."

"Okay." I said as I grabbed his hand and walked with him to the kitchen again. I heard a groan behind me and saw Edward shaking his head. It confused me as to why he would react like that but I would soon learn why.

"So you see Bella, all you need to do is add six eggs and five cups of flour and you are good to go." He said as he placed the brown glop of 'so-called' brownie mixture into the oven. I watched him for twenty minutes make a concoction as he spoke about his sub-par abilities. But once the brownies were in the oven he washed his hands and leaned against the counter.

"So Bella, how do you like my brother?" He asked nonchalantly as he grabbed an apple from the wicker basket in the middle of the island and bit into it.

"Well...he's a real gentleman and he makes my heart race." I admitted as I tried not to avert my eyes from Emmett's. "We have agreed to start the bond and I'm confident this will be lasting."

"I'm glad." He said as he swallowed and took another bite. "As a big brother I am to look after my younger brother. Edward is the baby of the family and he's a good man. He's a hard worker and cares about those he loves. He might be a bit of a moody freak from time to time but he's a great person. And I just want the best for him is all." He said honestly.

"And I promise to be all I can be for him Emmett." I replied. "I know I don't understand Ethoros or the bonding but what I do know is that the moment I saw Edward I knew my life would never be the same. He's all I can think about and he makes me feel like I'm floating and at peace all at once. I want to know him better and I promise to treat him with the same respect he has shown me."

"I trust our word Bella." he said as he threw the apple cord in the sink and turned back towards me. "Bella, can you promise me one thing?"

"What's that?"

"If Edward does anything to upset or disrespect you, let me or Rose know. I love my brother but you are important to the bonding too and should feel comfortable at all time. Rose and I are not just here for Edward. We are here for you too."

I could feel my face grow warm as I didn't fight the smile on my face. "Thank you, Emmett. That means a lot to me." That was true. It made me feel important to know that Emmett cared for my well being despite the fact that he hardly knew me.

"Emmett?" Rose shouted somewhere in the house.

"In the kitchen with Bella." He yelled back.

I could hear footsteps and then her flawless form coming through the doorway. She smiled at us but then her eyes widened and her smile fell into a scared face.

"Emmett!" She screamed from the top of her lungs. But she wasn't looking at him or me but past us. I turned to see what she was looking at and my heart dropped.
