Chapter 8 - Dreams and Declarations

Songs for Chapter 8: Scared - Three Days Grace _________________________________________________________________________________________

Alice's POV

I was sitting on the couch listening to Bella's quiet breathing as she slept. I decided I needed to get her to bed so I went upstairs and put out her p.j.'s and turned down the bed. As I was walking back down she let out a blood curdling scream and I raced to her side. All my sense's were screaming danger but as I searched throught he house there was no one her.

"Bella, honey, wake up! Bella?" I was beginning to panic.

It was killing me seeing her laying there screaming. She was fine when I went upstairs. I couldn't get her to wake up. I heard Emmett and Jasper race through the door and into the living room.

"Alice, what happened?" Emmett hissed, through gritted teeth.

"I... I don't know, she fell asleep after you guys left, so I went up stairs to get her room ready so I could put her to bed when she started screaming. She's dreaming but I can't get her to wake up."

"Where are Carlisle and Esme? I thought they were here?" Jasper asked looking confused.

"They were but he got a call from the hospital and Esme went with him. I told them we would be fine," I said. "I don't know what happened."

Jasper pulled me into his arms where I just sobbed. Bella was still whimpering and screaming.

"Jasper, do something, please." Emmett begged.

"Em, I'm trying," he said. "She's fighting it... it's like she's blocking it out sonehow. Talk to her, that might help."

Emmett pulled her into his lap, her eyes flew open, and she screamed again. Then she realized who was holding her.

"Emmett?" she said, through tears.

"Shh baby, I've got you. You're safe. It was a dream. You're okay."

I saw her body start to relax and jasper took a breath. I am not sure what was going on but I know it was hurting him.

She looked up at Emmett and he kissed her. She hugged him tighter and relaxed further. Her little body was still shaking as she looked up at him.

"I... I'm sssoorrryyy," she cried, it's just so real.

He rocked her for a few more minutes and she was out again. Her heart rate went back to a normal rhythm as she relaxed further in his arms.

"Come on we need to get her in bed," I said, quietly.

"Alice, I'm not leaving her, what if it happens again?" Emmett said.

"Fine, at least let me get her dressed for bed. Then you can come up, okay?" I said, giving him a slight smile.

I am glad he was finally embracing his destiny. Bella and Emmett were meant to be together. I had a vision of her and him together getting married under the trees in the back yard. Family and friend surrounding us all. I had told no one of this so it would not change by someone's actions.

I carried her up and got her dressed. I placed her on the bed and called for Emmett.

"Okay, you can come up."

"Don't wake her up, just be here for her," I said, smirking.

Emmett's POV

I rocked her for a few more minutes after kissing her and she was out again. Her heart rate went back to a normal rhythm as she relaxed further in my arms.

"Come on we need to get her in bed," Alice said quietly.

"Alice, I'm not leaving her side, what if it happens again?" I said.

I was determined to keep her nightmares away. If I had to stay with her all night then that is what I would do. It was the least I could do. They had her so fucked up and broken. If I ever get my hands on you Eddie boy you are...

"Fine, but at least let me get her dressed for bed. Then you can come up, okay?" she said, smiling at me, cutting off my thoughts.

What is the little pixie up too? Alice took Bella from me and carried her up the stairs. i could hear her pulling Bella's clothes off and shuffling around above us..

"Okay, you can come up," she said. I was the stairs before the sentence was completely out of her mouth.

"Thansk, Ali," I said, hugging my sister.

Bella looked so comfortable and peiceful as I moved to lay behind her and wrap her in my arms. I made sure she was covered completely, so she would not get cold. I stared at the ceiling, thinking over the time that I had known Bella. There truly was nothing that I would not do for her. i felt her body tense and I tightened my grip around her.

"Bella, it's okay baby, I'm here," I whispered to her.

She relaxed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. I felt her start to flex her muscles as she woke up. She lay there quiet for a minute so I spoke to let her know I was there.

"Good Morning, baby, do you feel better?" I asked in her ear.

Bella's POV

When I opened my eyes I was in my room. I could feel someone was in the bed with me, but I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming again. Then I heard what I was waiting on, I heard him.

"Good morning, baby, do you feel better?" he whispered in my ear, sending a chill down my spine.

"Yes, thanks to you," I said.

He sat up with his arms still wrapped around me. I know he is the only reason the nightmare stopped. As soon as I felt him... it was gone. I felt safe as I slept. Something I had not felt in a while. He leaned in to kiss me but I pulled back. I covered my mouth and held up my casted arm.

"Wait a minute," I whispered.

He looked at me like I had two heads and three horns and I giggled.

"I need a human moment, morning breath," I clarified. I wanted to kiss him, my body was eager for it but morning bereath... did that matter?

"By all means," he said, letting go of me and chuckling.

I grabbed a pair of jeans and my Green Day t-shirt as I headed for the bathroom. I made quick work of my morning routine, a quick shower, brushed my teeth and pulling my hair up in a pony tail and got dressed. When I came out he was sitting there on the bed exactly where I left him. I crawled back up into his lap. I placed my head on his chest. Nervous didn't cover how my insides were jumping. I took a deep breath before I spoke.

"Emmett, I know it maybe too early for this but I... I love you," I said, looking down at my lap.

He shifted me and looked into my eyes. He was silent for a minute. I was beginning to worry but then I heard what I had been hoping to hear.

"Bells, baby, I love you too," he leaned down and kissed me.

"Okay we need to go down stairs before Alice drags us down kicking and screaming," he said, smiling.

I sighed. "If we must."

I heard Emmett chuckle and then he picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. I screamed and then giggled.

Emmett's POV

"Yes, thanks to you," she said.

I sat up still wrapped around her. As I leaned in to kiss her she pulled back and covered her mouth, holding up her casted arm. Nice move dumbass... what in the hell were you thinking?

"Wait a minute," she whispered, and giggled.

"I need a human moment, morning breath," she said.

"By all means," I said letting go of her and chuckling.

She was too damn cute, really did she not understand I don't care about morning breathe. I saw her grab her clothes and hoped she wouldn't be gone long.

"Alice, what do you want? Don't ruin my moment, sis," I told her as she came in the door. Both of us speaking just where we could hear.

"Emmett, I am happy for you. I couldn't wait to tell you that. Now bring Bella down stairs, Esme has her breakfast ready and Carlisle wants to talk to her," she said, as she walked out the door.

Well, I would keep her to myself for a few more minutes. They could wait. I heard Bella getting ready and as the door opened I felt my love for her bubble to the top. She is what I needed and wanted.

I love Bella. Wow, why didn't you figure that out sooner, dumb ass, then she could have been spared all the pain that is Edward. She looked at me on the bed and crawled back up in my lap.

"Emmett, I know it maybe too early for this but I... I love you."

I shifted so I could look into her eyes. Those three little words coming out of her mouth meant more to me than anything.

"Bells, baby, I love you too." I leaned down and kissed her.

"Okay, we need to go down stairs before Alice drags us down kicking and screaming," I said smiling.

She sighed and said, "If we must."

I couldn't hold back my chuckle. I picked her up and slung her over my shoulder. She screamed and then giggled. It was so easy for me to be myself with her. She loved me. I was definitely the luckiest man I knew. We would make it... together.

I took her into the kitchen and sat her down on the stool as Esme put her plate in front of her.

"Mmmm, pancakes," she whispered and I chuckled.

My girl loves pancakes. That is one of the things I can remember from being human. I don't miss food but I understand her need for it.

"Good morning, dear, did you sleep well?" Esme asked.

She turned to me and smiled. "Yes, I haven't slept that good in a while."

"Good Morning, Bella, when you've finished you breakfast, can we talk about last night?" Carlisle asked as he came in the kitchen.

"Sure," she said, frowning.
