Honey, I'm Home!
Chapter Fourteen
E
At her father's words, Bella burst into tears and kind of waddle-ran to the downstairs bathroom and barricaded herself in, along with Mom, Alice, and Rosalie. Jasper looked at me apologetically, shook his head, and said, "Nice going, Dad. Why can't you just be happy for Edward and Bells?" Giving my shoulder a squeeze, Jasper mumbled, "Sorry, man" before pushing back and leaving the table.
"Whoa, Chief C," Em started while unbuckling Emma from her highchair. "Usually I agree with you, big guy, but this time, you're out of line. We've all had months to get used to the idea of Edward and Bumble Bee becoming parents, so there's no reason for you to still be giving my little brother shit for it."
Looking down at his little girl squirming in his arms, Emmett said something that would stay with me for the rest of my life. "As much as I hate the fact that my little girl will one day grow up and leave me for another man, I can only hope that he loves her even half as much as Edward loves Bella."
Kissing Emma's thick blonde curls, Emmett returned his attention to Charlie. "Chief, you know as well as I do that Eddie boy would give his life for your daughter; they've practically been joined at the hip since we moved to this little Podunk town many moons ago. You've said it yourself many times, Edward and Bella belong together. Stop focusing on what they did wrong, and start rejoicing in what they've done right. You at least owe your unborn grandchild that." As if knowing the moment needed to be lightened, Emma chose that moment to grunt and let out a loud fart.
Fuck, that shit smelled awful!
How could something so little and cute smell so goddamn bad?
Letting out a booming laugh, Em lifted Emma's hand and gave her a little baby high-five. "That's right, Baby Girl, call bullshit on your grandpa." With that, he exited the room to change his stinky ass daughter.
