"Hello?"
"Souta?"
"Hiya, Sis, how are things?"
"Great, how are things with you, Souta."
Terrific, I'm going to soccor camp this summer. As a matter of fact I got to go, but how are thing with you and your vampire boyfriend?"
"Their going great, that's why I'm calling, is Mom around?"
"Yeah, hold on a sec."
"Kagome dear, what a nice surprise."
"Mom how are you, how's Grandpa?"
"We're good, Dear how are you?"
"Great, hey Mom I have a serious question to ask you, I was wondering if it would be alright if I bring Emmett home to meet you and everyone?"
"I think that's a lovely idea, I would love to meet the young man you're in love with."
Kagome blushes, "How did you know?"
"Oh, Kagome, I can hear it in your voice everytime you talk about him. And you talk about him everytime you call." Kagome's mom says with a laugh, "When were you planning on coming?"
"Soon, I hope, Bella is getting married in August I'd like to go before the wedding, I'm the maid of honor."
"How wonderful for your cousin, tell her we said congratulations and to Charlie."
"Okay, Mom, I will. I'm going to talk to Emmett tomorrow to see how he feels about it. He went hunting with his brothers so, he should be back later on tonight. I hope he says yes, I really want him to meet you."
"I'm sure he will, Dear, but you should go to bed though it's getting late over there."
"Yeah it is. Well goodnight Mom, I love you, tell everyone the same."
"Goodnight, Kagome, we love you too."
The next day Kagome drives over to the Cullen house, she finds Emmett sitting on the floor playing Call of Duty with some online friends. He looks up and smiles at her, but continues to play. She rolls her eyes and goes to sit between his legs to watch him play. Reaching up, she kisses his chin he smiles and kisses her head.
"How's my Baby, this afternoon?"
"Good, I talked to my mom last night."
"Oh, yeah, what did you guys talk about?"
"Oh this and that, she asked me how things were going between us, I told her things were going great. I asked her how things were there, she said everything was fine. I also asked her if it was okay if I brought you home to meet her and my family."
"And what did she say?"
"She thought it was a lovely idea, so can we go, Emmett, I'll pay for everything."
"Of course we can go, and you don't have to worry about a thing, I'll make all the arrangments." Emmett says looking down at his mate, "When do you want to go?"
"As soon as possible, I'd like to be back before Bella's wedding."
At that precise moment Alice knocks on the door, she opens the door peeking her head in. "Your flight leaves in two days you'll be gone for two weeks, I'll have your dress for the wedding picked out for you by the time you get back." Alice tell them.
"Thank you, Alice." They say in unison.
"You're welcome," she says with a laugh, "Kagome we're going shopping in hour so be ready."
"Okay." Kagome says, she knows she has no other choice. Emmett laughs.
"I don't know why you're laughing you're coming with us."
"Oh, Kagome, I don't want to go!" Emmett whines.
"Tough, you're going." Kagome says as she stands up stands up and glares downs at him.
Emmett looks down, "Yes, love."
"Good," She says with a smile and pats his head, "I love you."
"I love you too."
The shopping trip wasn't as bad as Emmett thought it would be, he was able to get several new video games while Kagome, Alice, and Rose bought clothes for their trip. After a while Emmett got to wander around by himself and as he wandered he passed by a jewelry store. He peered in through the window and caught sight of something spectacular, an engagement ring. It was a beautiful Garland Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring, the sapphires matched Kagome's eyes. Emmett just had to have it
He walks into the Jewelry store. "I'd like to see that engagement ring please?"
The jeweler takes the ring out of the case and shows it to Emmett and begins to explain. "Intricate in design, this sapphire and diamond engagement ring showcases eight diamonds alternating with brilliant round sapphires in this enduring platinum ring that will complement any center stone of your choice, sir."
Emmett looks at the quality of the diamond through the loupe that the jeweler provided for him and is satisfied with it.
"I'll take it." Emmett tell him.
Emmett gives the jeweler gives Kagome's ring size and the jeweler sizes it. He tells Emmett if there's any problem he can bring it back and they'll resize it for him. The jeweler puts the ring in a box, charges Emmett's ring to his card then hands him the box. Emmett happily puts it in his pocket.
The thought of proposing to Kagome had been on his mind for sometime now, he thought that maybe it was too soon but after what happened with the newborns and having her accept to become his mate and now finding out she's immortal. What was the point in waiting any longer to get married? The only thing that Emmett wanted to do was to ask for her hand in marriage before he officially asked her. So this idea of hers to go home was perfect.
Emmett met up with Kagome Alice and Rosalie at the food court where Kagome was having a snack. He comes and sits down next to her and kisses her cheek, Alice gives him a knowing look and his winks at her. Once Kagome was finished eating they gathered their shopping bags and head home.
After the shopping spree Emmett drops Kagome off at home, he notices that Charlie isn't home so he decides to head down to the station. Walking into the station he asks one of the officers where Chief Swan's office is.
"It's down the hall on your right." The officer tells him.
"Thank you."
Emmett comes to Charlie's door and knocks, Charlies tells him to come in.
"Charlie, are you busy?" Emmett asks as he sticks his head in.
"Emmett, what a surprise, did something happen to Kagome?" Charlie asks.
"No, sir, I just need to have a word with you."
"Sure come on in, have a seat, son. What can I do for you?"
"Well, Charlie, I wanted to talk to you about Kagome. You see Kagome and I have been together for a while now, it hasn't been a full year yet, but I know in my heart that she is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with." Emmett tells Charlie.
Charlie instantly knew where this was heading, and he wasn't sure he want to hear it. But he wasn't going to say anything because he really did like Emmett and thought that he was good for Kagome. Even if they were going a bit too fast.
"What exactly are you getting at?
"Well, you once said you would take on Kagome's father's role so I wanted to ask for your blessing and permission to ask for Kagome's hand in marriage?"
Charlie couldn't believe what he was hearing, but he liked it. If only Edward had done the same thing with his daughter. Charlie sat there quite for a long time, he sighs and finally spoke.
"Emmett, I can't give you permission to marry Kagome."
Emmett visibly deflates, he was crushed when Charlie tells him that. Charlie notices and begins to hurry to explain.
"Now, hold on, I can't give you my permission because I'm not her father. If it was up to me I'd say yes, but it isn't. You need to ask her mother, Kagome told me this morning that she wants you to meet her mother, Akiko, anyway. I suggest you ask her when you guys go to Japan. I far as I'm concerned you have my blessing to ask and my support."
Emmett immediately brightens, he knew he was going to have to ask Kagome's mom as well but he wanted to be thorough and ask her uncle too. Then a thought occurred to him.
"You dont' think we're too young?"
"I do, but Kagome is very mature for her age and even though you act like a kid sometimes, you have a good head on your shoulders. Besides it shows a lot of maturity for you to come here to ask for her hand and not tell me your marrying my niece, like Bella and Edward did. That's something I really do appreciate, Emmett, her mother will too."
"Thank you, Charlie.
"Anytime, Emmett. Just when were you planning on going to Japan?"
"Alice booked us a flight the day after tomorrow." Emmett tells him, "We want to be back before the wedding."
"Good idea."
