I cried while writing this so be prepared…

I give you…

Emmett goes to college…

EPOV

"Edward…I swear to God if you embarrass me…" Emmett sighed as I parked the car in the lot.

It was a monumental day.

Emmett was going to college.

My little boy was all grown up.

I still remember the first time I went out and bought him a box of condoms.

I liked the approving look the clerk gave me when I tossed that carton of magnums down on the counter.

My boy was packin'.

And it is kinda disturbing that I know this…

But I wanted him to be safe.

And now we were leaving him here…

Three hours away from home.

And I was a wreck.

"Edward will you grab the fridge?" Bella called over her shoulder as she carried his comforter into the dorm.

He was in a co-ed dorm.

All I could think of was my own college experience.

I stocked up on condoms for him.

Bella laughed at me.

What?

I don't want to be a grandfather yet.

Well…

It will be a long time before I'm a grandfather since my own kids are still little but Emmett has always been like a son to me.

My little boy.

Fuck.

I am so gonna cry.

*()*()*

"So this is the union and then the coffee shop is down the block. Can I answer any more questions?" The tall blonde asked, putting her hand on Emmett's shoulder and fluttering her lashes.

My boy was oblivious.

"Nope…this is great thanks!" He said with a smile and I swear the girl melted into a puddle of goo right there and then when his dimples popped out.

He was wearing his glasses too.

I swear he has no idea how much pussy he could get if he only tried.

I kinda love that about him.

Bella says he takes after me like that.

But seriously…

I know that quality is better than quantity any day.

And the quality of my girl is above reproach.

*()*()*

"So you have your phone right? And everyone's numbers? I gave you the credit card but it is only for emergencies. I'll be checking that fucker and if I see you buying beer with it your ass is mine. We're only a few hours away so if you need anything you call and I can be here…"

"Edward, man you remember when I asked you not to embarrass me? Yeah…totally embarrassing me right now." He laughed into my shoulder as he tried to pry my arms off of him.

I was a hugger…

What can I say?

I stepped back and he pulled Bella into his arms, spinning her around as she laughed.

What, so she gets to hug him but I can't?

Bullshit.

He set her back on her feet and she curled into my side.

He put his hands into his pockets and rocked on his heels and all I could see was the little boy with the messy hair and too big glasses running across the playground, crying when he fell and scraped his knee.

He was running to me because he knew I would take care of him.

That whatever was wrong I could fix with a bandaid and some kisses.

Fuck.

I can't fix things for him anymore.

He has to do it on his own.

"Come on you big baby…" Bella laughed as I wiped at my cheeks.

"Love you guys!" Emmett shouted as he ran off towards his dorm.

Shit…

There goes my boy.

All grown up.

"Here, you drive. I'm too emotional." I told Bella as I tried to hand her the keys, but she laughed and swatted my hand away.

"Nope…you drive and I'll give you road head once we get on the 101." She purred as she opened the car door and slid into the seat.

Deal!

You like? I'll keep popping up with these so keep your eye out…
