EMMETT'S POV CH24
Bella had looked so tired lately I was beginning to worry about her. Of course she is still beautiful but her eyes were definitely showing signs of weakness. Alec had even noticed earlier today and brought it to her attention. I watched as she just shrugged it off to everyone making some kind of joke that it was my fault because I had kept her up all night, but I knew there was something off. I had finally convinced her to go lie down and take a nap while Ali and I went to town and did some shopping. I had told her I was going to go grocery shopping for her so she could rest. It wasn't a complete lie, I did do some shopping. I just went to do my shopping by myself after dropping Ali off to do the grocery shopping.
I knew exactly what I was looking for so I quickly found the perfect rings and went to have them engraved. While leaving Ali had text me to let me know she was done and not to worry Bella was asleep and Rose was going to come and pick her up from the store. I was grateful for that, because I still had a ton of shopping to do for my plan. Bella will be so surprised and I believe Leah will be deeply moved by my gesture toward her too. I had to make a few stops and then I was going to the mall to find the girls some nice outfits.
I needed to find four outfits for the girls to wear on our two outings, preferably dresses. I quickly spotted a royal blue satin sundress. The dress was absolutely gorgeous and I knew Bella would look perfect in it. Now I just had to find her another outfit. I was looking around when a pretty pale pink baby doll tank fell off the hanger next to me. Picking it up to put it back on the hanger, I took another glance at it. I could see my beautiful Bella in this shirt so I found, a white ruffled mini skirt to wear with it. God I hope she likes this, I know nothing about shopping for women's clothes. Sighing I turned around to look for something for Leah to wear. I knew the girls had plenty of clothes I just wanted to buy them something new to wear. It would be the beginning of a new life and I wanted them to feel special, especially Bella. I was still seeing and very worried about her sunk in tired eyes that I looked into when I kissed her goodbye earlier.
Looking for Leah I found extremely difficult and Alice will cuss me out for not bringing her to buy them clothes, but I wanted to be able to say I picked them out especially for them each. If Ali tells me what to buy I can't really say that, and that is exactly why I turned off my cell so she couldn't call me when she saw this in a vision. Laughing at my thoughts I continued to look for Leah's two outfits, when I came across this really pretty deep earth tone brown dress with Aztec colored swirling lines on it. Pretty dress lines not so much, so I hung it back up. I spotted a white sundress with little pastel colored hearts on it. That's cute I thought so I grabbed it and went on with my shopping when I came across a red satin dress causing me to remember what Leah had looked like last night when we had went to the club. She had worn a red sweater dress that looked very nice next to her skin. May be this would work for Leah; she does wear red a lot. I quickly paid for the clothes and took them to be wrapped; after they were prepared I headed off to look for the perfect spot to take the girls too. I had came across a nice meadow a few weeks ago while out hunting and I wanted to check it out a little more so I had set off toward that direction.
After I had taken care of business and hunted down a few bears I headed back to the house to see Bella. I had hoped she was still resting but to my disliking she was up and cooking dinner for Leah and Seth.
"Beautiful you are suppose to be resting, remember?" I cooed against her neck as I swept her up against me for a bear hug. I held her a little tighter this time, there was something that was off with her I just couldn't put my finger on it. Looking over at the counter to see Leah sitting there watching us with a worried look now, I smiled and blew her a kiss causing her to smile back.
"Hello my little Indian princess how was your night with Ali and Rose?" I asked her earning a giggle from her and a kiss from Bella. "It was good Emmett; I actually stayed in your room last night. Why do you have such a big bed when you don't sleep?" She asked looking both confused and amused with me.
"Props, but beds are used for more than catching Z's Leah. Haven't you learned that by now? I asked giving her my best flirty look as I started helping Bella with the dishes. "Yes Emmett I am very aware of the other THINGS that BEDS are used for." She huffed and stuck her tongue out at me. Shit, she looks cute with a pouting face.
I found myself rather amused watching the three of them eating until Bella got sick, that wasn't too funny. I had been talking to Seth when I heard Bella gasp a little bit; looking at her I noticed she looked like she was paling even more than she was already. Running over to her side and placing my cool hand at the side of her face and the back of her neck to try and calm her nausea had not worked to well. The fast speed that I ran over to her with caused her to be dizzy which made her even more nauseous. We barely made it to the bathroom before her dinner was coming back up. Gross!
"Beautiful, how do you feel now?" I asked her when I came back into the room to set with her after helping Seth and Leah with the kitchen. That would have been a fun chore with Seth if I wasn't so fucking worried about Bella. "I feel fine now Emmy, I don't know what could have made me throw up. But once it was out of my stomach I felt fine." Bella told me.
Leah came in to the room and plopped down on the bed next to us."Is Pocahontas tired?" I asked her in a jokingly tone. She didn't seem to be in to good of spirits today. I wonder what is wrong with Leah, she looks depressed or something. She looked up at me smiling then sighed…
"I didn't sleep too much last night; my thoughts were in other places so I am sleepy. But I want to stay in here with Bella for awhile then I will go to my room and sleep."Leah whined looking over at Bella and me.
"Leah, why don't you just go to sleep in here? I won't bit, that is, unless you ask me too." Leah gave me another one of those 'What the fuck is up with you looks' then smiled back. "You can't bit me Em, you'd kill me but I can bit you." She seductively whispered leaning toward me licking her lips causing me to gulp and Bella to giggle against my arm.
"You know you two are just two cute with this teasing and then freaking when the other one acts like they're going to do something about it. Didn't you two get the first awkward kiss over with last night?" Bella asked as she took Leah's hand, pulling her to move toward us. That was too cute; Leah looked like a deer caught in head light.
I was watching Leah's face as she looked toward Bella pulling on her then leaning in to kiss her. Leah sighed and seemed to calm down some as she lay down like Bella was urging her to. I released Bella from my arms and sat up to watch Bella and Leah. Not that I was getting off on watching them too, although I was starting to feel like this room was slowly catching on fire. But I just wanted to watch the different emotions that displayed across their faces. I felt like I needed to learn everything that I could about these two beautiful women. I could see things in the way that interacted that no one else could. And every time I would find myself watching them over the past two days I became entranced. It was the strangest feeling. Bella turned her head back in my direction and smirked up at me like she knew exactly what I had been thinking.
"Emmy, are just going to set there on the sidelines and watch or are you planning to join the game anytime soon?" Bella said looking a little flustered and pulling on my hand. "Um nope, I think I will just enjoy the show today." I told her smirking and pulling my hand back to my lap. "Emmett, please don't tell me you are pussy shy today?" She said giggling causing Leah to bury her head in the pillow laughing.
"Nu a, nope, not me, I am just going to set here though." I stuttered out closing my eyes and running my hand over my face for a second. This woman is going to drive me fucking crazy! "Emmy you're never shy with me why start now?" Bella cooed as I was thinking if she only fucking new. She had enough sex appeal for both of us, that's the reason why she had never noticed when I did get shy with her. Bella is the only person in my life that I have ever been shy around and now this. What if I suck at pleasing either one of them when I am trying to please two at the same damn time? Not to mention the idea of actually sleeping with another woman with or without Bella's permission is scaring the hell out of me. What if she changes her mind and then is mad at me afterwards.
What am I so worried about I'm Emmett McCarty, I use to eat sleep and breath sex, I can do this. I told the right side of my brain as the left responded with because this is not just sex and it never has been with Bella and it wouldn't be with Leah either you dumbass. God this crap is making me so nervous my brain is talking to itself. You don't get nervous you big dummy you're a vampire. Grrr!
The girls were watching me intently as I battled with myself. Finally Bella sighed kissed Leah and pulled her up to set on her knees with her. Bella crawled over in my lap pulling on Leah's shirt for her to follow. I wrapped my arms around Bella and nuzzled my chin in the crook of her neck. "Emmy I love you" Bella told me as she started to place wet kisses on the side of my neck. I felt my hands being pulled on and I opened my eyes to find Leah grinning taking my hands in hers and intertwining our fingers together. I nervously smiled back as she leaned over kissing the other side of my neck. Oh god these two are going to kill me.
The next thing I felt was my shirt being pulled over my chest and head by Bella's tiny fingers. I watched as Bella scooted off of my lap and Leah crawled over straddling my legs. I was feeling my brain panic as my cock had rose to attention. I closed my eyes for just a second and leaned my head back to catch my breath to figure out what I was going to do. When I opened my eyes back up Bella had slid up behind Leah and was taking my hands from her like they had done last night except this was a Leah sandwich not an Emmy. I smiled at the memory of my beautiful Bella telling me … 'That was the best damn Emmy sandwich she had ever had.' God I love that girl!
I opened my eyes up again to the sound of almost silent tears as Bella wrapped her arms around Leah's neck to hug and comfort her. Taking the back of my hand and rubbing my knuckles softly across Leah's check to wipe away the tears I told her… "It's ok lee-lee please don't cry, Shh…" I whispered as I leaned in to kiss her cheeks moving to her eyes down to her nose and stopping at her lips. She kissed me back for a second then she stopped and turned to Bella.
"Bella I can't do this, I trust my heart in your hands and yes I want to trust it with Emmett but I just can't. I'm sorry Bella." Leah cried getting up and running out of the room. Looking at Bella I could see she was about to cry too. "Bella I'm going to kick that dog's ass for hurting her like that. I know he can't control Fate but he could have at least tried to make it easier for her!" I spat as she started to get up off the bed to go to Leah but I stopped her. I don't know what possessed me to stop her but I did. "Let me go talk to her you lay back down and I'll bring her back in here in a minute. I think she had planned to talk to you about the whole imprinted secret today anyway." I said as I pulled her in to my lap kissing her for a second then laying her back on the bed.
Going down the hall to Leah's room I wondered what in the hell I was going to say to her that would make her feel better. Shit…I have never questioned myself before I got with Bella now I question my every thought and move before I do it. 'MAN CARD DUDE' my brain was yelling at me over and over. When I got to the door to her room I knocked and slowly opened the door to a sniffling Leah.
"Ah Pocahontas please don't cry." I pleaded picking her up off the bed and placing her in my lap. I placed one of my hands on the small of her back and began rubbing small soothing circles there and then with my other hand I gently brush the hair out of her face. Waiting for her response and not receiving one. I started to rock her back and forth humming. I have no idea what I was humming it was just coming out. Finally she sighed and started to talk again. "Emmett I'm sorry it's not that I…." I stopped her by placing my fingers to her lips.
"Leah first thing, never apologizes for something you can't help and second this is newer to me than it is to you and Bella, so I am probably more nervous than the both of you put together. Although the man in me that wears the dick would like to scream hell yeah and take you both, the man in me that carries my heart says this is not sex, it means something. Leah I had never made love to anyone before Bella, don't get me wrong I use to fuck the shit out of Rose. But that's all it was and she and I both knew and felt the same way about it. With Bella it's different and I'm still trying to process all these emotions that are going on in my head now. Then you are thrown in the loop and I don't know, let alone begin to understand what is going on there, but I do know two things for sure. I love Bella with everything that I am and I have begun to love you too. Like I said, I don't understand this shit that's happening and I think maybe it has a mixer to do with the fact that she's your imprint but my soul mate, hell I have even started to believe Bella is enchanted in some way. I have never been a scared man but you two scare the shit out of me! I'm a fucking strong person but Bella makes me feel as weak as a baby! Leah I promise you I will never hurt you. I'm not Sam and Bella is your imprint and I'm not taking her away from you."
I stopped talking taking her chin in my hand and I leaned in and kissed her.
"Leah I promise, you are as safe with me as you are with Bella put your trust in me and I promise you will not regret it." Leaning down and kissing her soft lips again I could feel the blush flaming in her cheeks. "Now lee-lee I believe you had every intention of talking to Bella today about the imprint and I think it's time you do that. You're in for a surprise that I learned about today." I told her as I kissed her one time and pulled her up to her feet. She looked at me still in shock from my speech but confused now to what I could be talking about.
"Come on Pocahontas you'll be pleasantly surprised and even more shocked after Bella enlightens you on something she learned a few years ago." I told her pulling her down the hallway and back into our room.
LEAH'S POV
I watched as Emmett said the sweetest things that I had ever heard, he really is something special. He is perfect for Bella. And I absolutely loath the idea that I have began to have feelings toward him. I mean a relationship is hard enough between two people how could it work with three? I was pondering on my question when I felt him pull me to my feet and head down the hall toward their room. Upon entering the room I saw Bella standing at her window looking out toward the woods. Hum, what is she watching so contently? When she heard the door close behind us she turned giving me her beautiful Bella smile.
I watched as Emmett went straight to her kissing her and looking over her face for signs of deeper shades around her eyes, thank god there wasn't because he'd probably call doc fang and pitch a fit for him to come back sooner. I love to watch him take care of her, it's so different then the way any of the guys from the pack did. I mean yeah they all love Bella more than anything, but he just shows a deeper tenderness with her. Emmett doesn't treat her like she's breakable but at the same time he shows her all the loving tenderness that she needs.
"Lee-lee do you feel better now?" Bella said as she pulled me to sit down where he had moved her to. I took a deep breath huffed and sighed. That's just like Bella to worry about me instead of herself. "Bella I'm fine, don't worry about me so much. I was just being stupid and over emotional. But we need to talk about something." I said giving her my best 'Please don't flip out eyes.' And then she shocked the shit out of me. She started laughing at me and I was thoroughly confused.
"Leah I know that look and I am not going to freak out, in fact let me help you out. You imprinted on me the first night we met. I have known this for a very long time, it actually only took me about six months to figure out what had happened. The only question I have is why did you hide it from me?" Bella asked me while giving my hand a squeeze for comfort. How the hell did she figure that out? I mean she was feeling it to but damn. I really shouldn't be surprised though Bella has never been one to sit on the side lines when she had questions. That damn girl lives off of Google!
I looked up at Emmett to see he was wearing a 'Told Ya' smirk on that sexy face of his. Damn gorgeous asshole, he could have warned me that she already knew this. "Bella I was wondering, how did you figure that out?" I asked trying to stall a minute because everything I had planned to say just flew out the window as her revelation flew in. "Leah you're stalling, is it that bad?" She asked me with a hurtful look in her eyes. Oh god she's hurt, I was afraid of this!
"Bella I didn't tell you at first because I didn't know what had happened. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on and by the time that I did, you and Jacob seemed to be getting hot and heavy so I didn't want that to cause you and him problems. You deserved for someone special to love and take care of you and I thought he was it for you. I didn't realize that what went on between you and I that night after you came back from Florida would ever happen. I was in just as much shock as you were that night we were together. But regardless of all that, Bella as your imprinter it is my job to protect you from everything and that meant me protecting you from being trashed if we were together. The guys were already riding me all the time about being the only girl in the pack, you hear all the sexual comments they make. Then they started on us about being so close, of course they were only joking and had no clue that we had actually done something. But I still was not about to let them see you that way in my mind or pick at you about it. You know how perverted Paul and Quil are with you. I would have killed them the first comment they made! Then when we started planning to move out here for school I thought I would tell you but then I chickened out because I know how your mind works sometimes and you would have thought I hide it because I was ashamed that I had imprinted on you or because you were a girl." I said then stopped and looked up to see that she had tears streaming down her face. I didn't want to make her cry. "I love you Bella" I told her then wrapping my arms around her and laid my head on her shoulder.
EDWARD'S POV
Damon and I were standing about thirty feet in the tree line from Bella's house. I smelt the salt of her tears as she stood in the window looking out. I wondered if she could since that I was here because I had not been in the trees more than a minute before she came and opened the window standing watching out intently. I just stood there watching my Bella that is all that I had come to do was check and make sure she had not died from me taking Leah away. I just want to see her, smell her, and touch her. God I miss her so much and no one seems to understand. I don't want to hurt my Bella I just want her back and then I will be fine again. I had thought vampires had no soul before I lost her but I realized very quickly that we did and Bella was my soul. Once I had lost her I lost myself. I don't want to exist without her anymore. I'm tired of trying to find myself again. I wonder what is going on with Leah and Emmett. Is there a chance that Bella is not his true mate? Although that would make me the happiest man alive, I would have to kill him after the hurt I have put her through. And Leah how the hell could she kiss him with her imprint in the next room? This and hundred more questions were quickly forming in my vast mind as I watched my Bella and listened to Emmett and Leah in the next room.
'Hey man you know I have your scent covered, why do you just go take her back?" Damon asked with a questioning look in his eyes. I would love nothing more than to take my Bella and run off somewhere but I won't do it to her. Plus I have to be there for this fight or I would have to worry about the Romanian's hunting us down and killing her to get back at me for screwing up their plans.
"Damon I told you before we got here that I was not taking her from Leah. I just wanted to check on her." I whispered so Emmett wouldn't here us out here. I'm actually surprised no one was out patrolling the grounds. I wonder where the hell everyone is at.
"Nobody told you leave the little sexy wolf behind. She may stink be she's still hot as hell! I'll take her with me." Damon said with an evil smirk on his face. "Not a chance you ass!" I whispered but raising my voice a notch. "Damon there is my brother going in the room let's get out of here now." I said turning to leave him there.
SETH'S POV
We had been sitting things up for Emmett's plans this weekend when Alec and I ended up breaking the poles for the make shift cabana. Damn it now I will have to go into town and get another one. Telling the other's I was leaving to go pick another one up I then left headed into town. When I entered the home and garden center I felt this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. Warm and fuzzy but nauseous too, it was weird. I wondered if maybe bella bear didn't have some stomach bug and I was getting it now, which would totally suck right now! I shook the feeling the feelings off and went to get the cabana for Emmett. As I was walking around the corner I suddenly found myself grabbing from instinct the soft arms of the girl who tripped into me. I looked up to see bella bears twin, my imprint looking straight into my eyes with shock.
I tried to make myself release her arms from my hold but I couldn't let go. Every fiber in me was screaming to pull her closer to me. Holly was lost in my eyes when I noticed her gasp and start to blush. Oh god she felt it too, that had to be what the gasp was for.
Smiling and releasing her arms only to slide my hand down to take hers I sighed… "Excuse me miss, I should have been paying better attention. Did I hurt you?" I cooed as I lifted her hand turning her palm upwards and placing a sweet kiss there. Then closing her fingers around the kiss I released her hand back to her. She blush a feverishly red tone and stuttered trying to speak back to me. I was enjoying the thought that I had that effect on her. She was just so precious and tiny like bella bear. The resemblance in the two women was remarkable.
I gave her another soft smile and took the hand that I had not kissed into mine and doing the same with that palm I cooed "My name is Seth Clearwater, my I ask you beautiful, what your name may be?" I watched as she tried to catch her breath and control her speech when she finally smiled back at me…
"Hi Seth, it is nice to meet you. My name is Holly Marie Swan." Holly said giggling at me as my head was screaming inside 'HOLY SHIT!!!'
