Hey guys. Its kinda short, because I wanted to add a little more intereaction between them, but the I want the dinner to be a chapter within itself… so, I will update within a week, to make up for the lack of action in this chapter!

Disclaimer :S.M. Owns it all.

Last time: "Hi, I'm Emmett!"


I couldn't help but look at him like he was a little crazy. In fact those where the exact words running through my mind. Here he is, this man I have never seen before, introducing himself like a little 4 year old.

I had to admit it was kind of heart lifting. Just from one sentence I could tell he was a man with a sense of humor.

"Hey… Um, I'm.." before I had a chance to finish my introduction he was filling in the blanks.

"Bella Swan, or more formally known as Isabella Marie Swan. Lil' sis to the mighty Mr. Edward. Soon to be even mightier Rosalie's sister. You live in an apartment around the corner from your parent's house. You follow the rules."

My mouth was hanging open in shock, but before I could ask him how he knew this much he continued.

"You always listen to your parents, your brother is an overprotective fool, and you have NO fun. Which is hard for me to understand. I mean I cant go an hour without laughing or having fun, I don't know how you do it. But Edward said you…"

It was now time for me to cut him off.

"Edward said what!? Wait, why are you and Edward talking about me? What all has he told you? Why…." My questions started to trail off, after seeing the perplexed but amused look on his face.

"Well," he continued, "As I was saying our dearest Eddie," I let out a short chuckle, knowing how much my brother hates that nickname, "seems to love you a lot. And I mean A LOT. The first day I met him, he was worried sick. Its just wrong for someone to be that frazzled. He kept mumbling something or other about some Jacob… something about strangling the kid to death…" From that point on I couldn't help but zone out.

When Jacob and I had first started dating, I made the mistake of telling Edward, who was out playing paintball with a few of his "guys" as he calls them. He had called me to check up, while they were all getting checked in, and I accidentally let it slip I was getting ready for a date.

Of course the interrogation he gave me lasted way longer than anything I had ever imagined. He was furious that he wasn't there to make sure he could keep this "pig" from hurting his little sister.

His worrying wasn't needed though. I was a big girl, I could handle myself.

The relief that flashed a crossed Edwards face the day I told him Jacob and I had decided to just remain friend didn't go unnoticed by me either.

"… , but then one day, he just got all happy again. At first I thought maybe he really did go hurt the guy, but then I remembered, this was Eddie we were talking bout… he wouldn't hurt anyone!" He seemed to think the fact that my brother isn't a physical fighter funny.

"Um, yeah… no. Jacob was my ex, and Edward just gets a little overprotective of me."

"A LITTLE!?! I thought I was going to have to drug him to get him to calm down."

I had to chuckle at that. My brother is a bit of a baby when it comes to certain things.

"Ok, maybe a little more than a little. But he had no reason to worry; its not like I cant handle myself!"

"Yeah, but it's a brother thing." Hmm… no that I think about it, Emmett could be very much a brother, he defiantly had the whole, 'I will strangle you if you hurt my family' type of vibe.

"So you have siblings?"

"Duh. Why do you think I agreed to wear this monkey suit? If Rosie wouldn't have threatened to out my love of "Friends", I would not be hear. If I were just here because I was there friend… there would be NO way I would be wearing this." He ended it with a laugh.

I looked up towards the alter, they did look very similar.

"Huh, well that's cool. I can see the resemblance."

"Yeah, cant say I can say the same about you though. You and little Eddie don't look a think alike."

This was something I had been told many times in my life. The truth was, Edward wasn't my brother. Charlie and Renee took him in when I was about 2, him just a few years older than me. His bio mother (Charlie's sister) and father had been in a horrible accident on there way back from a work party. Unfortunately they didn't make it, and my parents took him in. But whether we were cousins or siblings it was all the same to us. But I gave up trying to make people understand that in middle school. Now we just go along with the brother sister charade. Its not like we don't act like it, and we don't love each other like brother and sister.

"Yeah, I hear that a lot." I laughed nervously.

He started to open his mouth in a move to reply when a small hand landed on my shoulder startling me.

I looked up to see Alice giving me a very curious look.

"Hey Bells. So we are all heading to the restaurant. Rose and your brother just left."

"O, ok." I made a move to get up when a different hand clasped around my elbow.

I turned around quickly to find Emmett pulling me back.

"Hey, you wanna ride with me?"

I thought it a little odd that a stranger was offering to give me a ride, but at the same time, I could find it in me to say no.

I nodded my head yes, after seeing a slightly worried look on his face, as if I could possibly say no.

He took my arm and wrapped it around his elbow.

As we began walking out of the church, I could help but turn red after noticing the suspicious look in Alice and Jaspers eyes, as we passed them.


Dont forget to review! :)
