EMMETT'S POV

Bella had nightmares all night and didn't rest comfortably. When she finally gave up on sleep, she looked worn for wear. Her eyes were puffy from crying, she was drug drunk, from the sedatives Maggie had given her, and still looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown. All I wanted to do was take her away from all of this, move us to Texas to a quiet life.

"We can't do that Emmett, we have obligations. I would love nothing more than to run away with you. But, we need to get this behind us. I fucked up, to put it simply. I should have never put my hands on that woman. Now we all have to pay the price for my fuck up." She told me as she sat drinking an espresso.

"Baby, you didn't fuck up, she did. We are all paying the price for what she did. Baby, I love you, with everything in me. All you have to do is say the word. And I will take you away so fast it will make your head spin," She giggled.

"Well honey, unfortunately, my head is already spinning," she said she got up and walked over to one of the many floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out.

"This is fabulous, is it really ours?" She asked.

"Aro said as long as we needed it. They will be bringing over our personal things sometime this week, but our clothes are already here. Maggie packed your things, and Felix and Demetri went over and packed mine and brought them over. But they didn't bring my video games. I guess I can wait until they are delivered by the movers," Bella was laughing at me.

"You know what Emmett, that is why I love you so much, you are such a big kid sometimes. I've envy people like that since I never really had much of a childhood," She told me.

"What have you always wanted to do, that you never got a chance to do as a child?" I asked her.

"MMMM, go to an amusement park, or water park," It gave me an idea, but I'd have to find a way to discuss it with Maggie, without Bella being there.

As if on queue, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and it was Maggie.

"Good Morning Emmett, we can discuss that in the car. My Uncles and I are on our way to pick you and Isabella up. Bella will be going to the police station with my Uncles, and you will be coming with me. There is a situation that we need to discuss with you. But I need you to do something for me please," she told me.

"What now, Maggie. I am beginning to hate that word 'situation' It never turns out good," I told Maggie.

"Well when you find out what it is, you may not like it, but I promise, it's not as bad as it seems. But what I need your help with right now, is Isabella. I need you to explain something to her. My dad and uncles went and confronted the Cullens last night, and well, my uncle Caius rescued Cullens wife from an abusive situation. She will be working for us, and closely with me and Isabella, she will be my new personal assistant, according to my uncle. I need Isabella to be on board with that. So can you explain it and comfort her as much as possible. I know she's her ex's mother, so I'm not sure how well she will take the news, with everything else that's going on," Maggie sounded defeated and delivering the news to me.

"Maggie, I know it's not your fault, but if Isabella doesn't take it well, I don't know what we're going to do, I'm already ready to run and take her away from all this," I told her.

"I know Emmett, something tells me she won't take it as badly as you are I may think, I just want her to be prepared when she sees Esme," She told me

"We'll be there in about an hour, so if you guys can be ready," I looked at my phone, it was now 6 am.

"I'll do my best Maggie, and we'll be ready," I then disconnected the call.

I heard the shower going, so I stripped out of my sleep pants and joined Bella in the shower. Once in the shower, I wrapped my arms around her and started kissing her neck.

"Was that Maggie on the phone?" She asked.

"Who else?" I replied.

"I figured as much, that's why I jumped in the shower," she told me. I then took one hand and started massaging her breast, while I took the other and cupped her warmth down below. She leaned back onto my chest to give me better access

"Oh, Em what you do to me," she moaned in pleasure. I turned her around and picked her up. She put her arms around my neck and fisted my hair for a searing kiss. I thrust two fingers into her warmth, and my mouth attacked her right breast.

"Fuck yeah, baby," she panted as her fingernails scraped my scalp, that damn near caused me to come undone. This was a very large shower, with a built-in bench. If we didn't remain here, the next place I got for Isabella and myself, would definitely have this feature. As the rainwater shower head, sprinkled down on us, I sat down on the bench, as I aligned my cock at her entrance, I brought Bella down on me, impaling her to the hilt. I grabbed her by her plump tight ass and lifted her almost completely off me and brought her down again. I continued that rhythm, I then spread her open with her thighs in each arm, I stood up and braced her against the far wall of the shower, as I fucked her senseless. I didn't want her to feel or think about anything at that moment but me, bringing her to orgasm. When I felt her legs begin to tremble and she was uttering nonsense, I slowed my pace and began to speak to her through my thrusts.

"You're mine, Isabella, just as I'm yours. I will never let anyone or anything hurt you, do you understand?" Her eyes were closed and she only nodded her head.

"Look at me Isabella, nothing out there matters, the only thing that matters is you and me. I love you with all my heart," I told her.

"I understand, and I love you, Emmett," and brought her lips to mine for another searing kiss just as we both fell over the edge. Good damn thing she had a tight grip around my neck, because as the light flashed behind my eyes, I gripped her under her ass, and had to brace my hand against the wall to keep myself upright. My body started to convulse, as I shot stream after stream of cum into her. I eased her down to her feet so I could brace both hands as I was now light headed.

"Baby, come sit down, let me bathe you," she said. I sat on the bench. As Bella grabbed the shampoo, I rested my head on her stomach.

"That's never happened before," I told her.

"I think you just released all the tension you've been holding," she told me.

"You may be right, but Bella, Maggie gave me a message for you. She said that her dad and uncles went to the Cullens to confront them about Edward, and one of her Uncles took his wife away with them. It seems she was being abused," I told her looking up at her to see her reaction. Her eyes flashed down at me for a moment before she went back to washing my hair.

"Yes, I know she was. I'm glad they got her out. She's a sweet and lovely woman," she told me. "I tried to get my dad to help once. But she sent him away. My dad told me there was nothing he could do if she didn't want help. If she was unwilling to leave and wouldn't press charges, he couldn't arrest Dr. Cullen. I think she only stayed because of Edward," she told me as she took the handheld showerhead and rinsed my hair.

"Well, there's more. It seems she's going to be Maggie's new personal assistant," I told her.

"Well it's about damn time, they are going to run that poor girl ragged," was all she said.

"So, you're not upset about it?" I asked her.

"No, should I be? I liked Esme a lot. I mean, I guess I don't really hate Edward either, they were both being controlled by Dr. Cullen. I still don't want him anywhere near me, but I don't hate him. As long as she keeps her son away from me, we're good." She told me. I found myself letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

She took down the Calvin Klein Obsessed shower gel for men, and put some in the bath sponge and began to wash me. I'd have to remember to get that shit out of there. I'd let her bathe me with it for now since that's all that was there, but I didn't go for that stuff in my bath. Aftershave or as a cologne was fine, but I was old school, I believed you weren't clean unless you smell like soap. She must have seen me turn up my nose.

"Yeah, I know but that's all that's here for now. We'll get our regular stuff eventually," she told me.

"Babe, we'd better get a move on, you don't want Maggie standing outside the bathroom door when we get out, do you?" I told her as I glanced at the shower docking station's clock. I hit the button and scrolled a little at the music there. I didn't look long and stopped at the 'A 's and saw Aerosmith's Don't Want to Miss a Thing. She then grabbed the other sponge and started to fill it with some flowery smelling shower gel. She started out humming along with the music until they got a little ways into the song and decided to sing along

I just wanna stay with you, in this moment forever, ever and ever

I decided to join in with her.

I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep cuz I'd miss you, babe,

And I don't want to miss a thing

Even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do, I'd still miss you, babe,

And I don't want to miss a thing.

She was smiling so beautifully and we were having so much fun.

I don't want to miss one smile, I don't want to miss one kiss.

I gave her a chaste kiss

I just wanna be with you, right here with you just like this

I pulled her into my arms and we began to sing together into the shower sponge like it was a microphone.

I just want to hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine

I just wanna stay here in this moment for all the rest of time

YEAH, YEAH YEAH YEAAAAAH!

We were then interrupted by Maggie banging on the bathroom door.

"Thank God you two are beautiful. Now If you two don't get your non-singing asses out that shower, you're not gonna miss my foot up your ass!" Bella and I looked at each other wide-eyed and just burst out laughing. We quickly rinsed off, dried off and put on the fluffy bathrobes hanging on the door.

We walked out to find Maggie standing there tapping her foot. "What part of I'd be here in an hour didn't you understand? Now I'm running behind. Neither of you has anything big today as far as work, once you're done you can both come back and relax. Emmett quickly just throw on some jeans and a t-shirt. You, Bella on the other hand, I need you to look like an important business executive when you present yourself to the police. You have an important job and this is such an inconvenience. That little tart just interrupted your life. Got it, good. Now let's get you dressed," Just then an older woman, with copper hair like the guy I saw yesterday came into the room.

"Maggie Darling, I can help Bella get dressed, once the gentleman is ready You can take him, and Caius can drop me off on the way to the precinct.

"Esme?!" Bella exclaimed and ran into the woman's arms. "Esme, it's really good to see you. And I'm glad to be working with you,"

"So there's no hard feelings then?" Esme asked Bella.

"Esme, never. I even tried to get you out of there, I sent my dad. But he said you didn't want his help," They were hugging each other.

"I didn't know that was you, dear, oh thank you for trying but I couldn't then, I couldn't leave Edward, and Carlisle would have never let me keep my son. But come on let's get you dressed and we'll talk later. Chop Chop young lady," Oh yeah, she was definitely somebody's mom.

I came out of the walk-in closet, dressed in jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers. Maggie and I then headed out the door.

On the drive to the office, Maggie was exceptionally quiet and seemed to not make eye contact with me. I wasn't sure what that was about, but I had something on my mind I wanted to do for Bella.

"Maggie, Bella said she's never been to an amusement park or water park. I was wondering, do they still have those fairytale princess weddings at Walt Disney World? I saw a documentary on it once." She then turned and looked at me wide-eyed.

"Which princess do you want her to be?" I looked at her confused.

"Well, you do want to surprise her with it right? You don't want her to pick the princess," she asked me. I hadn't really given it much thought, but I guess she was right. I did want to surprise Bella, but I knew nothing about fairytale princesses. But I wanted to get the ball rolling.

"Okay so look, I'm gonna propose while we are at my folks for Thanksgiving. We've got nothing booked between then and New York fashion week right?" I asked.

"No nothing as of now, unless something comes up out of the blue," she told me.

"So can you make it happen between December and January? Is there some way I can find out about the princesses? I could ask my little sister, but she has a big mouth, and I want it to be a surprise," I told her. Just then I got a chime on my phone for a text message.

Belle and Prince Adam, from Beauty and the Beast. And I promise I won't tell a soul – Alice

I turned my phone so Maggie could see it.

"Then we're all set, I'll get right on that," she said. Then she was stone-faced and silent again. When we pulled into the parking garage of the building and got out of the car I grabbed her by the arm.

"Maggie, have I done something to offend you?" I asked her. She took a deep breath.

"No, you haven't. But I don't look forward to what we have to tell you. So please, can we just get it over with," She said. We continued to walk and rode up the elevator in complete silence, while I contemplated what she could have to tell me.

Once we reached Aro's office. He shook my hand. "Marguerite I'm going to leave you to it.," As he passed her to walk out, Aro kissed his daughter on the cheek and whispered something in her ear. She nodded to him as he left.

"Emmett, I have a rule at my house. I don't bring my work home. I spend so little time at home, when I do get there I don't discuss anything that goes on in the office," She told me as she sat on the edge of the desk in front of me. "So until this incident, this weekend was spread on the news, neither of us even knew the other knew you. The other rule in my house is that we don't discuss past lovers or relationships. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Come on in sweetheart," Maggie called out. When I turned around to see who was entering, and there stood Rosalie Hale. She didn't look much different than the last time I saw her. She was wearing what looked like a chefs jacket. But she walked over to Maggie, and they wrapped their arms around one another and gave each other a chaste kiss.

"Emmett, this is my wife, for all intents and purposes. We haven't officially tied the knot, but it's not because I don't want to. We just can't seem to make time." Rosalie then stroked Maggie's face lovingly.

"Emmett," Rosalie started. "I just wanted to say I'm so very sorry for any hurt I've caused you. We were both played that day, Garrett only used me, because he was jealous of you, and I didn't even know who I was at the time. I tried college and that didn't work. It wasn't until I went to culinary school, and found Maggie, that everything fell into place for me," Maggie was now stroking Rosalie's arm and smiling.

"But when I heard on the news what was happening to you and your girlfriend, I had to tell Maggie. I didn't want it to come out that I was another crazy ex-girlfriend," She finished by taking a deep breath. She then seemed so proud of herself. I just sat there looking at the both of them like they had lost their minds. They were now so lost in each other, I think they forgot I was even in the room.

"May I go now?" I asked them. They then looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

"Look, I don't mean to downplay your love for each other, but right now, I really don't give a shit. As long as she is not trying to come between me and Bella, or interject herself into our lives this is fine with me. But I'd much rather be at the police station giving Bella my moral support. So, may I go now?" I asked them.

"Yes Emmett, I'll call a car for you. I just wanted to make sure everything was in full disclosure," She said and seemed a bit defeated.

"Maggie, what was it you expected to happen here? Did you think I'd have a panic attack like Bella, or that I'd go all postal? Well, that's not me. But I get it. It's just the only thing that matters to me is Bella," I told them

"And you Emmett McCarty are a saint, If the shoe was on the other foot, I think I would want to beat my ass. Bella is very lucky to have you, and I wish you both all the best," That, made me realize Rosalie was sincere. I stood up then and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you, Rosalie.
