Izzy POV
'Someone tell me again, why in the ever loving hell did I decide to come to a regular high school?!'
I think to myself, as yet another person/fan asked me for an autograph.
It would be fine if it was not in the middle of a class lecture.
And it would also be fine if it wasn't…the freaking teacher!
I mean, jeeze Louise!
Maybe I should have gone to a big city and a big city school, so that I could have gotten lost in the crowd, especially if I had worn a disguise.
Or maybe I should have still done the disguise here and also changed my last name. Because even with the disguise here, they would have known that it was me, due to the fact that I was Charlie, their Chief of Police's daughter, even though he does not claim me anymore.
But I will not dwell on that right now.
Thinking about claiming, I wish that I could find my Emmett.
Yes, I put a claim on him and I know from Luke that he put a claim on me too.
But I will explain all of that later on.
Right now, I am walking to the cafeteria with what seems like the only genuine girl here, even though she is in a grade below me as a junior. I think that she told me that her name was Angela Webber. But she has been the only one so far that has not gone gaga over me.
We walk into the doors and predictably, the entire room goes silent.
I really hate when that happens!
I get into the lunch line and grab a turkey sandwich, an apple and a bottle of water, and then I follow her to her table with her friends.
I find that even though I do not breast feed the twins, I really like to eat healthy when I can.
As we sat down, the people at the table all started gushing, that's right, gushing! even the guys! about me and my songs and my career, but I just tuned them out.
As I ate, I looked around, seeing that everyone was looking over this way, except one table, and that got me interested.
There were four of them. They reminded me a lot of my Emmett, with the extreme pale skin, the perfect features and the strange golden eyes.
There were two girls and two boys and they all could not have been any more opposite of each other.
With the girls, one was short with spiky black hair that went in every direction. She had what I would describe as elfin or pixie features. I could also tell that she was a bundle energy if the bouncing in her seat was any indicator.
The other female was tall, statuques and extremely beautiful. And by the look on her face, she knew it too. She had long, golden blonde hair that went down her back, striking features and a killer body. Luckily, I am very happy with myself and very content with my looks and my body, especially after just having twins a month ago, or my self-esteem would have taken a nose dive just at the sight of her.
The two boys are opposites as well.
One can very well be viewed as a man. A handsome, rugged man. He has honey blonde hair to his chin, and very strong features. For some reason, he looks like he is in pain. He is tall, around 6 ft 3, with a nice build. Not too big and not skinny either. He looks masculine.
Unlike the other boy.
He has reddish brown hair, boyish features, but he has an air of arrogance about him. The other guy had an air of danger about him. One look at him tells you not to fuck with him.
The boyish one looks like a douche to tell you the truth.
I must have been looking at them too long, 'cause it caught the attention of the girl named Jessica.
"I see that you like noticed the Cullen's. They are Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's adopted and foster kids. The blondes, the Hales, are Rosalie and Jasper. They are foster kids. And they are like with two of the Cullen's! The little one there is Alice. She is crazy. She is like with Jasper. And Edward there is with Rosalie."
At this time I was listening to her, but I had stopped looking over at the Cullen table and started back eating.
Then she said something that changed my entire life and world all at the same time.
"There is another guy, who is like totally gorgeous by the way. But don't waste your time with him. Apparently none of us here is like good enough for him."
She sniffled.
I looked back up at the same time that she was about to say the other guy's name and looked into the golden eyes of my…
"Emmett"
It came out as a whisper, but he heard me anyway.
He looked like I felt.
Shocked!
"Wait a minute!"
Jessica practically yelled, gaining the attention of almost the whole cafeteria, including the Cullen table.
"You like know him?! What the fuck?! How?!"
She screeched.
I just ignored her and her questions, got up and grabbed my bag, emptied my tray and walked toward my Emmett.
He must have really been shocked to see me, as he is 'frozen' in his surprise.
I notice the others at the table giving me varying looks of surprise, wariness, anger and even resentment. I don't know what that is about, but I ignore them for the most part.
I only have eyes for my Emmett.
I reach the table and wait to see if he will 'unfreeze' and acknowledge me, but when after a minute he still does not, I get pissed and snapped.
I walk around the table to stand behind him and slap him on the back of his head and yell his name.
"Emmett Dale McCarthy!"
Well, that works!
His head snapped towards me and the smile that lit up his face was beautiful.
He stood up and engulfed me in a huge bear hug in the middle of the cafeteria. I could feel all eyes on us, but neither of us seemed to care at the moment.
Being back in his arms, I feel complete.
I did not even know that I was missing something, until I was engulfed in his presence and his scent of sandalwood and lemons.
"Umhmmm"
Someone at his table, my money is on the blonde girl, cleared their throat, rudely, and broke the spell that enveloped Emmett and I.
He put me down, but I still held onto his hand, not that he seemed to mind, and turned to look at his family.
"Guys, this is my Izzy."
He said to them, beaming down at me, which I returned eagerly.
I guess Luke was right when he said that Emmett had claimed me.
"Izzy, these are my siblings; Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Edward."
He told me as he pointed them each out.
I smiled at them all and said hello.
I then turned to Emmett, knowing that we needed to talk and wanting to do it as soon as possible.
"We really need to talk, Emmett. Do you want to skip the rest of the day and go back to my place to talk?"
I asked him, knowing that his siblings were listening into our conversation.
"Sure Izzy. But let us go to my place instead and that way you can meet Carlisle and Esme, our parents. We can talk there."
He said and before I could respond, the blonde girl had to be a smart mouth bitch.
"Yes, let's go to our house, seeing as we don't know you or anything about you, other than you are apparently famous. I don't trust you with my brother."
She sneered.
I just raised my eyebrow at her and had to suppress my giggle at the thought that I could or would actually do anything to harm my Emmett.
"Rosalie!"
Emmett snapped at her and she just rolled her eyes at him.
I again had to suppress my giggles at her childish behavior.
I mean…how old is she?!
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the guy, Jasper, had kept giving me strange looks. He looks frustrated almost.
Come to think of it, so does Alice and Edward.
Huh!
Wonder what that is about?
"That sounds fine with me, Emmett."
I say to him, getting back to what we were talking about and wanting to get away from all of the stares of the other students.
Well, I can see the gossip wheel turning now!
"I need to ride with you, Emmett. I did not drive this morning."
I told him.
I noticed a look pass between Rosalie and Edward at that but ignored them.
"Sure, Izzy. Let's go."
He said and dumped his tray.
Once we got outside, I noticed his siblings following us. When they noticed me looking at them with an eyebrow raised, Rosalie smarted off again.
"We don't keep secrets in this family. Whatever you have to say to Em, you can say in front of all of us."
She sneered.
I turned back around toward the parking lot, closed my eyes and took a couple of deep breaths to keep my temper in check.
I think Alice could tell that I was losing my cool and was about to snap, because she jumped in with some information to take the spotlight off of me, for which I was grateful.
"I called Dad and he is going to meet us at the house. He had some things to do so he was gone. He should be there by the time we get there. Mom is there waiting for us. I suggest we get going."
She said and practically danced toward the silver Volvo in the parking lot with Jasper in tow.
Edward and Rosalie followed behind them and got into the Volvo, driving off.
Emmett escorted me to a monstrous Jeep with tires coming up to my waist!
Luke would love to go off roading in this monstrosity.
Speaking of Luke, I need to text him and let him know what is going on.
I think to myself as Emmett lifts me into the Jeep and then gets in himself.
We drive off I companionable silence and I take this time to take my phone out and text Luke.
'Luke, guess what? ~Izzy
I did not have to wait long for his reply, so the kids must be sleeping.
"What, Izzy? Shouldn't you be in class and not texting me? : D" ~Luke
'Haha, Smartass. I'm skipping my last two classes. At lunch I found someone! ~ Izzy
"Izzy! Skipping classes?! I'm shocked! Lol Now who did you find?" ~ Luke
'Fuck you, Luke! Lol I found my Emmett! Can you believe it?! He's right next to me, we are going to his house with his family to talk. ~ Izzy
"Izzy, are you sure about this? Do you need me to come over? ~ Luke
'I'm sure, Luke. He is their father and he needs to know about them at the very least. You can come over if you want, but I am safe with Emmett. ~ Izzy
By the time I am finished talking or rather texting back and forth with Luke, Emmett and I pull up to an enormous white Victorian style home. It was more like a mansion though.
He gets out and comes around to help me out.
We walk hand and hand up the stairs and inside the front door.
Inside is just as grand as the outside.
And just as white too!
I mean come on with all the white people!
The walls are white, the furniture is white, and the carpet…you guessed it, white!
I love my colors too much to be able to live in a house like this.
I mean this is a nice house; it is just too ostentatious for me.
And also too sterile.
I do like the glass wall that looks out into the forest though.
We were all standing in the sterile living room, which I was afraid to sit down on any of the furniture, and his family is there watching me and probably my reactions.
Luckily for me, I have an excellent poker face, so they do not see what I really think of the space.
I then notice two other people, who I assume is the 'parents' of this group, standing near the front entrance where we were.
I smile and introduce myself.
"Hello, I am Isabella Swan, but please, call me Izzy. You have a lovely home here."
I say to the lady, guessing that she is the decorator.
I am not really lying, it is nice, it is just not my style.
I assume that I guessed right by the beaming smile that she got on her beautiful face as I complimented her house.
"Thank you, Izzy. I am Dr. Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife, Esme. Our children have told us that you had to speak to us about something?"
He said as he led us all to the couches and beckoned us to sit.
I did so, reluctantly.
"Um, no sir. I told Emmett that I needed to talk to him, and then I was rudely informed that there are no secrets in your family and that is how we ended up here."
I said and noticed them all look toward the front door and the driveway.
Luke!
"That is correct about us not having any secrets amongst us. So what, if I may ask, do you need to speak to Emmett about?"
Carlisle asked.
"This."
I simply said and went to help Luke with the twins.
We each came back in carrying a car carrier.
"Emmett, I would like you to meet your children. Dale and Dakota McCarthy."
"…"
A/N: Uh-OH! How is Emmett gonna take to being a daddy? What about the family?
