AN- This chapter is short and full of fluff, but it's a scene I've been thinking about for a while. It seemed a good place to put it in. Next up is another practicing session, so bear with me. I hope you enjoy my Emmett.

Warning- this chapter is told from Emmett's POV, be forewarned of some cussing and crudeness, duh.

I need to send some thanks out to amose, who despite my best efforts, continues to find my editing flaws. I appreciate her efforts to keep my writing accurate.

Disclaimer- C'mon, you know the drill. If I wanted to infringe on Ms. Meyer's copyrights, I'd do it in a way that could make me some money.


Emmett Falls For Bella

EPOV (Emmett)

Rosie was certainly doing a good job of cheating for Jasper. Yeah, I know he was having a rough time what with Edward and Bella being so repressed and whatnot, but what does that have to do with my kicking his ass at video games? Alice must be responsible. Usually, my Rose was my biggest fan, or at least she'd leave me alone while I was in 'the zone'.

Currently, she was straddled across me, her firm breasts crushed up against my broad chest. She was running her fingers through my hair and whispering in my ear. Under normal circumstances, I would be more than happy to find myself with Rosie in my lap. However, at the moment I knew she was just trying to distract me from the game I was playing with Jasper. It was annoying as hell. And yet, I couldn't quite bring myself to ask her to get off me.

"Dammit! I almost had you, Jasper!" I yelled. Jasper smiled.

"Maybe you should have me, instead," Rose whispered in my ear. I couldn't help myself, I had to look in her face to see if she meant it. She smiled wickedly at me, eyes twinkling, and kissed me on the nose. Damn, I knew she was playing with me. And damn if she didn't know I liked it.

"Got you again, Emmett," Jasper said quietly besides us. He laughed, "I must say, this is a much more entertaining conflict of emotions than Edward and Bella's.

"Shit!" I swore again, "That's it, I'll show you something entertaining." I said, I dropped the paddle and reached for Rose.

"Bella's here, Emmett," Alice's voice came from the bottom of the stairs. I remembered why I had been killing time with Jasper in the first place. "Finally!" I said, it seemed like I'd been waiting forever for Bella to come by the house.

I jumped up to position myself correctly for her arrival. I nearly dumped Rose on the floor. "Oh, sorry, Babe," I apologized, catching her just in time. She gave me a look that told me just how sorry I would be. Ouch, I hate that look.

Just then I heard Edward and Bella come in the front door. I quickly sat precariously on the back of the couch. I smiled at the two lovebirds.

"Bells! Long time no see, hey, what have you two been doing? You're all wet!" Bella's hair was dripping, Edward was drenched from head to toe. Had they been swimming? Then Bella blushed furiously, and a protective growl rumbled from Edward's chest. What!?

Then I got my own double entendre. I started laughing, riotously. Edward's growl deepened, "Wait, Ed! That's not what I meant! It's not my fault if your mind's in the gutter!" I continued laughing, clutching my sides. Bella's blush was only getting worse, the look on her face was priceless. "I mean, maybe if you got a little something every now and then." Oops, apparently that was crossing the line, Edward crouched preparing to rip me to shreds.

Then Rosalie put her hand under my foot and pushed up, just barely. It was enough to send me over the back of the couch. My hands were still clutching my sides, so I landed on my back with a resounding crash.

"Hey!" I said, jumping up, that was supposed to be my joke! Just then a camera flashed in Alice's hand. "I meant to do that!" I protested. No one believed me. Everyone was laughing. I laughed too, I guess I'd gotten the laugh I wanted, anyway.

"Don't feel bad, Emmett. I seem to have that effect on vampires." Bella said sympathetically, "It's just too bad you're not a graceful as Edward. You might have landed on your feet instead of flat on your back."

There was absolute silence for 30 seconds. Holy shit, did Bella just burn me? Who knew she had it in her? Then everyone started laughing hysterically. Edward pulled Bella into his arms and kissed her, beaming with pride. I decided Bella must be spending too much time with Alice.

Finally everyone calmed down and Alice commandeered Bella into the kitchen for more wedding nonsense. I was again reminded how lucky I was Rose adamantly refused to ever let me help plan our weddings.

Edward plopped down next to me on the couch. I handed him a paddle. He was already pouting about not being with Bella.

"Hells Bells, Edward, she's been gone two minutes." I laughed at him.

"I know," he sighed, then he smiled, "You bruise anything?"

"Just my pride, man. Who knew Bella had it in her?" I asked, still incredulous.

"I did," Edward sighed wistfully. I rolled my eyes. Then he smiled again, "I can't wait to see the film."

I winced, "At least she didn't get a shot of me on the floor."

Edward's grin broadened. "I'm afraid she did, bro."

"Damn."

"She's probably planning on using it as blackmail to make you behave during the ceremony." Edward was trying not to start laughing again.

"Alice is one sneaky little pixie." I mumbled.

Edward gave in and laughed, "Which is why we love her so."

"Hey, sorry if I crossed the line. I forget how overprotective of the little squirt you are." I said, hoping he'd forgiven me. Having Edward mad at you was never a good idea.

Edward glared at me sideways.

"Well, you are, Edward. I mean come on, you go over there every night. While she's asleep no less! What exactly do you do over there, check under her bed for monsters?"

Edward was suddenly laughing his head off again. I was confused, but glad he wasn't mad anymore. Bella heard him laugh, and of course had to come see what it was about.

"What am I missing?" She asked, smiling at Edward.

"Emmett just asked if I check under your bed for monsters." Edward replied, and then they were both in hysterics. Whatever, must be some stupid inside joke or something.

Alice put one arm out the kitchen door and dragged Bella back inside.

"I play winner," Jasper said next to me. I jumped, usually Jasper fled whenever Edward and Bella were under the same roof. He had a smirk on his face. Maybe Edward was getting some after all, or was about to. Or maybe Jasper'd just felt all the mirth flying around.

"Whatever," I mumbled. I was glad everyone was enjoying themselves, I was just disappointed my plan hadn't gone off quite as I planned it.

Suddenly Rose was whispering in my ear again, her breasts pressed against my back. "Maybe you should let Jasper play with Edward, and you can come play with me." I tossed the paddle at Jasper. Whether she was teasing or not, this time she would make good.

"Oh, come on!" Jasper cried, "I was just starting to get some relief!"

"Don't worry, Jasper," Rose said, as I vaulted over the back of the couch, trapping her in my arms. "Give me ten minutes with Em, and you'll be getting waves of satisfaction that'll even drown out Ed's frustration."

I saw Edward grimace at her thoughts. They must be naughty. "Ten minutes?" I asked, that didn't seem very long.

She grinned at me, winking saucily. Then she started whispering her thoughts in my ear. They were definitely naughty. I had her up the stairs and behind our locked door in ten seconds, ignoring the laughter I heard downstairs.


AN- Kudos to Secrets Untold for the monsters under the bed bit. Funny funny :)

I will be doing a chapter from Rose's POV after the next practicing session. First, I need some opinions. The next chapter will be titled 'Practicing on Edward'. I need to know how many of you really want both POVs, meaning Bella's and Edward's. I've gotten mixed reviews about the whole double POV thing, so I need to see where the majority lies.
