Edward's POV
4 weeks later
I gather Bella's hair in one of my hands and rub her back with the other. She's currently leaned over the toilet losing last night's dinner. How we've managed to hide this from Emmett for the past month is a mystery to me. Yes, it's official, I'm going to be a daddy. Sure, it's a little bit sooner than planned but we're as ready as can be. Bella and I've decided that we're going to wait until after the baby is born to get married. We've also decided that tonight is the night that we'll tell our family. Bella will be meeting her siblings for the first time and hopefully her Dad won't cut my dick off.
" Edward! Hey, dude, I need to talk to you!", Emmett yells through the door.
" Em, now isn't the best time. We'll talk when I drop you off for school.", I yell towards the door. Bella throws up again.
" It's important! Get your ass out here!", Em pounds on the door. Bella looks up at me with a small smile on her face.
" Go, I'll be fine for a little while longer.", She encourages me.
" Are you sure? I'll be back as soon as possible. I'm gonna take Em to school. You want me to bring you home anything?", I ask her.
" Two strawberry frosted donuts from Dunkin and a decaf mocha ice coffee?", She asks.
" Alright, love. Does the baby want anything?", I raise an eyebrow. She bites her lip.
" The baby wants ice cream...With peanut butter. Not in the ice cream but on the side. Ice cream peanut butter isn't real peanut butter.", she states. I chuckle but promise to bring her home her ice cream and Dunkin. I kiss her forehead and head outside. I glare at Emmett and he looks curious.
" What's so important that you had to tear me away from my fiancee?", I ask as I grab the keys. He follows me outside and into the car.
" Do I have to go to this dinner thing tonight? Rose wants me to meet her family and well, it's sorta important to me.", He tries to use puppy dog eyes but I'm immune seeing as I invented it.
" Listen to me and listen closely. This past month you've been nothing but an ungrateful little asshole. I'm asking that you be home by seven. That's not a bad offer seeing as you have two children who you don't see most of the day. If you skip out on this dinner, you will be grounded. I don't give a shit how old you are, I don't care if your girl was gonna put out tonight. You will be at that dinner and you will act like you're having fun. Do you understand me?", I tell him in all seriousness. Everything I've said is true. This past month he's been sneeking out, leaving me with the twins all night. He's been coming home drunk and borrowing more money than I can even count without saying thank you. He's mouthed off to Bella countless times and I'm getting sick and tired of it. I've decided to give him an ultimatum which I will tell him about after dinner.
" Are you serious? Edward, no offense but why do you even care? All you've done this past month is faun over Bella. It's Bella this and Bella that. If I want to go out with Rose and pay her a little attention then I will. I'm going out tonight with Rose. I'll be home around midnight, don't wait up.", He gets out of the car as we reach his school. I glare at his back the whole time.
I stop and pick up Bella's snacks on the way home. She's still sitting by the toilet when I arrive but as soon as I mention food she stands up, brushes her teeth and ask where it's at. I chuckle because I've honestly never seen her eat this much.
" What did Em want?", she asks before taking a bite of her donut. I sigh and cross my arms over my chest.
" Apparently we're stuck with the twins tonight again. He'll be skipping our dinner and going to meet his girlfriend's family.", I tell her. She sighs angrily.
" We've got to do something about him. I miss the sweet boy who came to my house in the middle of the night just so his brother would be happy again." She says with tears in her eyes.
" I know, Love. I miss that boy too. But, I've decided to give him an ultimatum. Either he shapes up, takes care of his own kids and listens to us, or I'll turn the basement into a mini apartment and he can pay us rent, help with the groceries, utility bills and not to mention for everything the twins need. He'll be sixteen soon, he can get a job. I'm done with him being an immature child. He's a father, and it's time he starts acting like it.", I say in a hard voice. Bella nod with approval. We've both had enough. Emmett had his first and second chance. Now he's being punished and there's no way in hell he'll be getting out of it.
