Chapter 22 - Family Meeting

Songs for Chapter 22: All we'd ever Need - Lady Antebellum

Emmett's POV

Bella and Alice came down stairs and I could not get over the fact that Bella loved me. I knew I was never what she expected but she loved me none the less. She leaned into the fridge to grab something and I pressed my hands to her ass. It was such a good feeling, being able to touch her, love her and be happy. I was standing there grinning as she turned to stare at me, wearing a matching grin. She stretched up to kiss me as I wrapped my arms around her, lifting her up.

A throat cleared behind us and Bella giggled. Carlisle and Eleazer were standing there wearing matching smiles. I set her down on her feet and she took my hand.

"We need to have a family meeting. Can you two meet us in the living room, please?" Carlisle asked.

I heard Esme gasp and flutter about on the porch... "What are you doing?" she whispered. As I stared at the porch, Carlisle and Eleazer's heads whipped around in her direction.

"Oh, dear Lord. Look what you did. That's a no no, bad puppy," Esme said, for Bella's benefit.

Bella, Carlisle and I were chuckling as Esme stood, hands on her hips, scolding the puppy who was sitting in a pile of flowers on the porch. She knocked it over and made herself comfortable. She looked up and barked. Bella picked her up and giggled again.

"Go easy, she's just a puppy," I whispered.

"You better stay out of Esme's flowers. That will get you in trouble, you little rebel," Bella said, and she licked her face.

"That's it," she said, turning around to face me. "Her name is Rebel. It just fits and Esme, I'm sorry. I will help you clean this mess up," she said, tyring not to giggle.

"Don't worry dear, it's fine. I couldn't be made at her. She gave me the same look Emmett gives me when he gets in trouble, it was too adorable," she said, laughing.

I laughed as I stepped over to Bella. She was beaming and I was happy for her. "Bella, that's a perfect name for her," I said. Honestly they were both rebels... and both with no sense of self preservation.

We made our way back inside and Bell, followed by Rebel went and sat on the carpet in front of the fire place. As I guessed all eyes were on her and I knew she was nervous. I could see it in Jasper's face.

"What?" she asked, shrugging.

"Bella," Eleazer said. "It seems you may... well, honey...." He trailed off, shaking his head.

"Just spit it out," she said, jumping up. "Please," she whispered.

"Oh, enough of this shit. Bella look at me," Jasper said. Bella looked up as he moved towards her. "Eleazer thinks you have a special gift."

The look of shock and fear registered on her face. Bella just stood there... looking completely out of it. I was beginning to feel anxious when Rebel looked up at Bella and licked her face. Bella looked around the room, as we watched her. She sat the puppy down and went out the front door. I started after her but Kate stopped me.

"Wait, let me talk to her," she said going out the door.

I listened nervously as Kate slowly approached Bella.

Bella's POV

I had just walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab a drink when I felt a pair of hands grip my ass. Pulling out the bottle of water, I turned to face my 'stalker'. Emmett was standing there grinning at me and I smiled. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him as his arms came around me and lifted me up. Looking into his warm amber eyes, I was lost.

A throat cleared behind us and I giggled. Carlisle and Eleazer were standing there wearing matching smiles. Emmett put me down and I took his hand.

"We need to have a family meeting. Can you two meet us in the living room, please?" Carlisle asked.

Everyone's head turned to the back porch when we heard Esme.

"Oh, dear Lord. Look what you did. That's a no no, bad puppy."

When we got to the back door, I could not control my giggles. Carlisle and Emmett were chuckling and Esme looked like she wanted to laugh herself. There Esme stood, hands on her hips, scolding the puppy who was sitting in a pile of flowers on the porch. She apparently had knocked it over and made herself comfortable. She looked up at the crowd and barked. I scooped her up and giggled again.

"You better stay out of Esme's flowers. That will get you in trouble, you little rebel," I said, to her and she licked my face.

"That's it," I said, spinning around to face them. "Her name is Rebel. It just fits and Esme, I'm sorry. I will help you clean this mess up," I said, trying to hold back more giggles.

"Don't worry dear, it'sit's fine. I couldn't be made at her. She gave me the same look Emmett gives me when he gets in trouble, it was too adorable," she said, laughing.

Emmett's booming laughter made me laugh harder. He stepped over to me and kissed my forehead.

"Bella, that's a perfect name for her," he said.

We went back inside the house for our family meeting. It did make me a little nervous but everyone looked happy so that I calmed myself and went on in to see what was going on. There were too many of us to use the dining room as usual so I made my way into the living room, settling onto my favorite spot on the plush rug in front of the fireplace. Rebel followed us in and fell into my lap. She would need a bath after our talk since she was covered in dirt. I was beginning to get nervous as everyone filtered in and sat down. All eyes turned to me and it felt as if my heart was going to explode.

"What?" I asked, shrugging, trying to act unfazed.

"Bella," Eleazer said, perched on the couch by Carmen. "It seems you may... well honey...." He trailed off, shaking his head.

"Just spit it out," I said, standing up. I was instantly nervous. Vampires don't stutter or fail at words. Something was wrong. Emmett pulled me to his chest and as my back pressed against him, I started to shake. What in the hell is he trying to say?

"Please," I whispered.

"Oh, enough of this shit. Bella look at me," Jasper said. I looked up as he moved closer to me. "Eleazer thinks you have a special gift."

What? I opened my mouth to speak a few times, but nothing would come out. What in the hell was I going to say? Me... Special gift. Yeah, that would not be me. It's It was like I was in my own world. I heard his voice but nothing was clear. Special gift. It felt like my world was crashing in around me. I was brought out of my fog by Rebel licking my face. I looked around the room; again all eyes were on me. I hated that.

I sat the puppy on the floor and headed for the front door. I needed air. I didn't think I wanted to hear what they were going to tell me. I was tired of bad news, shitty answers to questions and I was just tired of it all. As I went out the door, I made my way to the steps. I sat and stared out into the tree line. I don't know how much time passed before Kate came out and sat beside me.

"Bella, honey, can we talk for a minute?" she asked, sweetly.

I turned to face her and nodded. "Alright," she said, sighing. "First off this is not bad news, it's just, well, it will be a shock... okay?" Again I said nothing I just nodded.

"Do you know anything about Eleazer and his gifts?" she asked.

"No," I whispered.

"Well, Eleazar can feel out a person, whether they be human or vampire. He is able to read them and, if they have a gift, he will find it,"she said, staring at me.

"What do you mean by gift?" I asked, curiously.

She sighed and took my hand. Alice came out on the porch and smiled as Emmett grabbed me and cradled me against his chest. That was odd timing, what in the hell am I missing? I looked into his amber eyes and he smiled.

"Bella," Kate said. I turned to her and, as I did, Alice gasped. Jasper had her in his arms, instantly. She looked at me and smiled and shook her head.

"She will accept it, so just tell her, please," Alice said, looking at Carlisle and Eleazer.

"Bella, you are a shield. I am not sure the extent of your power, as you are human. I know this... Edward could not read your thoughts, I can't read you, and Kate's power does not affect you. This is the work of a shield, a very powerful one too, might I add," Eleazar said.

I let it sink in for a minute. Could he be right? Is that possible? What would that mean... if I was a vampire, would it mean something? Could I still become a vampire? I know Emmett loves me but did they still want me to be with them forever? I was pulled from my musing when a set of cold stone lips met mine. I blinked and smiled.

"Sorry," I said, looking around.

Emmett set me down on my feet and I wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing the side of my face into his chest as I smiled. Then it hit me....

"What power do you have?" I said, turning to Kate.

She smiled and I heard a few chuckles come from behind me. "What?" I said, getting aggravated.

"Bella, I can touch someone and send an electrical charge through them. It's similar to Jane's ability, I am just not as sadistic about using it as she is," she said, smiling.

"Yeah, it hurts like hell," Emmett said, kissing the top of my head. I laughed at the possibility of it. I can could see Emmett challenging her to a wrestling match and her shocking the shit out of him, literally.

"So, what does that mean... for me, I mean?" I asked, nervously. "Wait, that's why you took my hand, wasn't it?" I asked as my anger flared. What if they'd been wrong... her touch would have fried me.

I took a step forward and she took a step back. "Bella, I would not have hurt you," Kate said, backing up a bit more.
