A/N: So I thought about giving writing a try for very long and this idea wouldn't leave my mind. After reading Leaves of Grass by Nauticalmess I fell in love with time travel fics, so here is my attempt. This fic will be Bella/Emmett, as I love this pairing so much and there are simply not enough works out there.

This is my first attempt at writing and publishing, so please review!

Prologue

Emmett POV

Rage and fury was all I could feel at the moment. Mostly, I directed it at Rose, my wife of many decades and Edward, my oh so perfect, little "brother".

Nearly three months ago, Edward decided to leave my little sister Bella and he decided for all of us to tag along. There was a family meeting to decide but as Edward laid out his reasons, Rose, Alice, and Jasper agreed that it would be for the best.

I didn't know what possible future Alice saw and Jaspers reasons were obvious, as he was the one trying to suck her dry. I couldn't be angry with them because of that, but Rose shocked me to the depths of my core. It was almost like she was happy to leave Bella behind and although she never liked her, I never expected Rose to feel this hateful and blame Bella for every bad thing that happened in her life.

In my opinion, Bella was the one Person least responsible for everything. She fell in love with Edward, who proclaimed himself as her mate. I never understood what she saw in him, it was almost like she was addicted. Once they were together, she mostly ignored all her other friends to make him happy, spent every second of her day with him and Alice.

She wasn't happy, though. She hated going shopping with Alice or doing all the girly stuff. She mostly disliked the things Edward liked to do and when they spent time alone, there was nothing romantic about it. I overheard more than one time as Bella tried to get more physical with Edward, but he was blocking her every step of the way.

One time I asked him about his reasons, and he told me about his victorian bullshit about waiting for the wedding bla bla bla. But he didn't seem eager like any other man, or in our case male vampire, would. I didn't know if I imagined things, although he almost looked like he was disgusted by the idea of touching her. When I thought about it, I don't know if he really loves Bella or only thinks he does.

The day we left, I thought we'd all meet in Alaska to visit the Denalis. I drove in the one car with Carlisle and Esme, as they were the only ones I could look in the eyes at the moment.

Don't get me wrong, I really don't blame Jazz for anything that happened and could see where Alice was coming from with her visions and all, but the guilt Jasper was projecting was simply too much for me, considering my own load of guilt I was feeling for leaving. For Rose and Edward, I was simply to angry to be in close proximity with them for any amount of time.

When we arrived in Denali, Alice and Jazz were already there. We talked to Eleazar and Carmen for a while and set up our rooms for the time ahead. Carlisle and I went hunting for a few hours and talked about everything that happened. He tried to stay neutral, but I understood that he didn't want to leave either. He let me rage about Edward and what a pussy he was and get out my disappointment at Roses' words. It really hurt me that my mate could be so cold and hateful towards the little human girl I loved like a sister.

As soon as we got back, I had the feeling something was wrong at the house. Rose and Edward arrived a few hours ago, bur Esme told us Edward left already to be alone. I really didn't get it. Why leave her when he felt so miserable about it? Esme also told me that Rose was upstairs in our room waiting for me.

When I opened our door, she sat there on the bed smiling brightly, in nothing but underwear. She literally jumped me and before I could say anything, laughing out in happiness. "Emmett, we have to celebrate! Finally, she is no longer part of our lives, I cannot tell you how happy that makes me! That little bitch is so far away she can't stand between us anymore".

I was dumbstruck, not able to control my words any longer. "Rose, how can you say such a thing? Bella has done nothing than being kind not only to you, but to our whole family and she excepted us without a doubt. Hell, she is important to me and you are so happy for her to be gone?".

Rose stepped back and slapped me across my cheek so fast, I didn't see it coming. She screached "Em, how can you say such a thing?! I hate her and am happy we got rid of her! She's not your business, talk to me again when you got that into your thick skull". And then she turned around, grabbed some clothes and left. I stood there for several minutes, recalling what the heck happened and how out of proportion Roses' behavior had been.

The following weeks were similar. We never saw Edward, which I was really glad about. Rose ignored or screamed at me most of the time, a few times she tried to convince me of her thoughts about Bella. Her words and seeing her being so coldhearted hurt me really bad, so I stopped talking to her altogether. I never knew she could be this way and I started to doubt our relationship.

I thought about her rescuing me and bringing me to Carlisle, of her being my personal angel. From the day I awoke I never doubted we were mated, although part of her behavior always annoyed me. I just played along, I owed her my life and I thought for a very long time we were meant to be. I let her choose my clothes, decorate our rooms, decide what we were doing and when we were doing it. I hated all the shopping, luxury hotels and other girly things, but I did it for my angel.

Now I got to know a completely different side of her, and I hated it. At first, I thought it would change again but as the weeks and months passed, I doubted our mating bond more and more. And I got to a point I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't take Roses behavior, Edwards self-loathing absence or the guilt of everyone in the room for leaving Bella.

I thought about it long and hard and decided to go back and check how she was doing. It felt like something I had to do, so I made my decision and started packing. A knock at the door straddled me, I have been so occupied by my own thoughts I didn't hear her coming. But I could smell who she was. "Come in, Alice", I told her and waited until she closed the door behind her and sat on my bed. I waited for her to speak, but she only watched me, cocking her head to the left in a silent question.

"I'm leaving. I really don't care what your opinion is. I feel so guilty and only want to check on Bella. If she's alright, I'll be back even before Rose knows I'm gone". She got that glassy, faraway look for a few seconds, then she snapped out of it and smiled brightly. "Em, I really cant't see much. I haven't seen her in weeks now and I don't know why, but in the glimpses I got I can see you both. I don't get a good look, it's all very fuzzy, but I see you" she trailed off, once again looking into the future. "Please be careful, Em. I got a feeling that there is something we are not aware of..". With that, she stood and left without another word.
