Bella's POV

Without hesitation I looked down at the bath water that surrounded me. "Good" I thought to myself "the bubbles are still covering me". I saw the bathroom door swing open. There was Edward in his PJ bottoms and no shirt standing with a cell phone glued to his ear and a hand covering his eyes.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I screamed at him. I'll admit I was pissed but I was more worried about him taking a peek at me…covered by bubbles or not.

"Bella okay calm down" he spoke with his hand still covering his eyes "I needed to come in because Rose is on the phone. She said she needed to speak with you right away. I told her you were in the bath and she didn't care. She said I needed to come in here and hand you the phone. She was getting really pissed…I cracked under pressure. I'm sorry! Truly though I'm not looking at you I promise. Can I just hand you the phone? I'm going to start walking towards you and you tell me when I'm close…then you can grab the phone and I'll run out of here!".

"This cannot be happening" I muttered to myself. So much for my relaxing bath. "Edward just keep walking straight, you'll run into the bath tub soon" I added. I couldn't be pissed at him. I knew how demanding Rose was sometimes…especially now that she was pregnant. My mind began to race. Why was she calling? "God I hope everything's okay" I said to myself.

Edward walked in a straight line right to me until I told him to stop. He spoke into the phone. "Rose here's Bella" and he attempted to pass the phone to me. I grabbed it out of his hand and he immediately turned around and raced out of the room mumbling about how mad he was at Rose and that he was really sorry.

"Rose! What's wrong?" I asked when I placed the phone to my ear

"Nothing" she giggled

"What!" I exclaimed. "Why would you make Edward do that? Couldn't I have called you back?"

"No. Oh common it was a tad bit funny Bella!" she laughed again. "But I did call for a reason…"

"Do share Rose" I said in a sarcastic voice. Rose could tell I was annoyed.

"Don't be angry Bella. Look I wanted to call because I felt terrible about the way our conversation ended last night. I couldn't sleep I was so worried you'd be upset with me. You see why I had to make up excuses as to why you couldn't come over tonight. You wouldn't even be here! I didn't want to ruin your surprise. It's a good surprise though eh? Edward really goes all out. Really Bella I'm sorry…don't hate me!" she said with a crackly voice. "So that's why Edward was at Rose's house" I though to myself before I spoke into the phone again.

"Rose are you crying?" I asked anyways but I knew she was. "Rose please don't cry! Everything's okay I understand why you had to lie. I don't hate you! Please stop crying. It's not good for you and the babies". I felt horrible about this situation.

"So you forgive me?" she asked

"There was nothing to forgive you silly girl. You were just helping Edward out!" I justified to her.

"Thank you" she said with somewhat normal voice. She must have stopped crying. "So how did you like your surprise?" It appeared that she was back to her normal self.

"I can't believe Edward did this all for me! It's the best surprise I've ever gotten Rose" .

"I knew you'd like it! Anyways I'm sorry for interrupting your bath. I think I might actually go and take one myself…my back is just killing me!" she said

"Sounds like an excellent idea Rose…go and relax…"

"Hey Bella? Do you mind if Emmett talks for you for a bit? He really wants to…"

"No I don't mind. Put him on and you go get your bath ready. I'll talk to you later on!" I said. "Why why WHY is this happening to me right now" I asked myself.

"Okay! I love you Bells. I'm sorry about this ruckus I made…don't blame Edward" she said.

"I wont Rose. Don't worry" I reassured her.

"Good! Here's Emmett…see you soon!" she said and then her voice was replaced by a much deeper one.

"Bella?" Emmett asked to make sure I was still on the line.

"Hi Emmett" I responded.

"Hey! Whatcha doing?" he asked

"I'm taking a bath…"

"Really? With who?" he laughed

"What do you mean with who? Myself! Oh yeah and Squeegee. However I know where you are going with this and don't even get started about mine and Edwards's relationship Emmett…" I said in a stern voice

"Okay Okay fine I won't take the conversation down the usual route. I just figured since you two were all alone in that big hotel room…". I cut him off.

"Emmett you're doing it!" I exclaimed

"Oh yeah…oops! Sorry!" he said with an apologetic tone. "Wait who is Squeegee?" he asked

"My rubber duck". I sounded like a fool.

"Oh. I didn't know you had one. You'll have to show me it sometime. Anyways I wanted to talk to you about something Bells". Emmett wanted to "talk" about something? "Since when?" I wondered.

"Alright. I'm listening Em" I said

"Thanks. So this may sound weird and be a little bit awkward coming from me" he started. I was getting nervous now. Emmett sounded way too serious. It was so unlike him. "Bella you know how much I adore you right? Like you really were my own sister and I trust you maybe more than anyone I know. More than Edward even. But that's not what I called to talk to you about. Bella you're my only true "friend" outside of my family and the guys at the fire hall and occasionally people just need a friend to talk to…" he said and then paused. I was shocked Emmett was being so sincere, so genuine.

"I can't believe I'm actually going to talk to you about this but I don't want to go to my parents or my siblings and the guys at the hall are all bachelors and immature at times". He paused again. "Where is he going with this" I thought to myself.

"Bella….I'm really scared to be a father. Extremely scared. I'm afraid I'm going to hurt my girls somehow, not know how to love them, not know what to do if something ever happened to them. I'm not ready to be a father yet Bells…I really don't think I am. Rose is due anytime now and then I'll be responsible for two tiny lives. Bella half the time I can't even be responsible for my own life! And what am I going to do with you and Edward off at Harvard, Alice and Jasper in New York! Dad travels all the time, so does mom. No one's going to be around to help me, reassure me. I haven't told Rose this yet…I'm just so worried Bells" he croaked. I was at a complete loss for words. This was an intense moment. Far more emotional than I had ever seen or heard Emmett be before. I had to say something quick.

"Em the first thing I'm going to tell you is that I love you and that everything is going to be fine! Every parent goes through this phase I'm sure. You're going to be the best dad and love those girls with all your heart…you may not think it now…but you will once you hold them and they are going to love and adore you…they'll always want to be held by you and want to play with you and you'll teach them things as they get older and encourage them. You'll protect them, keep them safe. And they'll love their extended family of course because, in my opinion, you couldn't ask for better grandparents and aunts and uncles." I added trying to lift his spirits. He chuckled and I continued.

"I know you're worried that we won't be around to help you and Rose but the fact is there are cars, and planes, telephones and computers. They even have this video calling now Emmett. I'm sure Edward will invest in one and so will I. The point I'm trying to make here is that when you need us we'll be there…no matter what it takes…no matter what time it is…no matter where we are. We're family Em…this is what a family does. You're going to be an amazing father and I know that for a fact and Rose is going to be a great mother! You two are going to have a beautiful family and build beautiful memories and traditions. You are ready for this Emmett Cullen and you'll be the best at it. I know it's in you" I said and waited for him to respond. I was kind of getting emotional myself now. These babies were a big deal to me. I was going to be an aunt! But more than that was how my relationship with Emmett had just changed. I felt more connected with him then ever before.

"Bella you have no idea how much what you just said means to me" he said quietly

"I know Emmett. You're going to be okay, that I can promise you. Speaking of promises can you promise me something?" I asked him

'Anything" was his response.

"When and if I ever get pregnant will you promise me you'll give me the same talk I just gave you?" I questioned and I was being dead serious.

"I'll be waiting by the phone for the call when the time comes Bella…" he said.

"Thanks. I love you Em" I said getting a bit teary.

"Right back at ya kiddo!" was his response. The Emmett I came to know and love was back. "So I bet that bath water is getting pretty cold eh Bella? I guess I should let you go. Thanks for this again…" he said

"Anytime, anyplace Emmett. Do me a favour and say goodnight to the girls…lots of kisses and hugs from their Auntie…oh and you better do the same for Edward… I can just foresee him being jealous that I got to give kisses and he didn't" I laughed while speaking.

"I'll be glad to. See you when you get back to Washington. Have fun kid!" he said before hanging up the phone.

By this point I was actually freezing in the bath water. I must have talked to Rose and Em for awhile. I was glad Emmett and I had that conversation. It meant a lot to me and I'm sure it meant even more to him. I began to let the water out of the tub. All the bubbles were gone now. But I decided I still wanted my relaxing bath so I hopped out of the tub threw on the housecoat that was hanging on the door and started to run hot water again for another bath. I put in even more bubble bath this time and waited for the bubbles to appear. I quickly got back into the tub since I was freezing and dying for some hot water. It was so warm and comfy…so enjoyable. And then I thought of something.

"Hey Edward!" I yelled at the top of my lungs so he could here me wherever he might be in the suite.

"Yes Bella?" was his polite and safe response.

"Could you please come in here for a second?" I asked with a devious grin appearing on my face…
