Hey strangers! It's been a while, I'm sorry!
When Summer began, I was gonna start the chapters right away, but I had writers block for a while. So, I'm getting back into it, so I apologize if this chapter isn't up to par.
However, I hope you guys enjoy it :)
Here's some Cullen brothers' bonding time.
I have a Author's note at the bottom; please read it !?

I walked into Midnight Sun after dropping Bella off. I was really happy that Alice called her; it'll be good for her to have someone other than Jasper to talk to.
While walking through the club to get to my office, I saw the strippers dancing. Now, I don't understand how any of them appealed to me.
I made it to my office and saw Emmett and Jasper sitting and talking.
"Hey guys" I gave each of them a hug before I sat in my chair.
"So this Lamborghini show..." Emmett looked like a kid on Christmas. He was practically jumping up and down in his seat.
"Yeah; it's a month away. The new model is coming out. I have three buyers; which is perfect. There's three of us."
"Man, this is going to be sweet. We haven't done a job together in forever!" Jasper looked excited for the first time in a long time. "I really need this."
"It'll be like old times; us three boosting cars" Emmett stood up as he spoke; a grin on his face.
"Yeah; do you remember that time when we were 16-" I started
"-and we stole that corvette from Mr. Chow up the block" Jasper finished.
"That old man was so bitter; he deserved it. But, man was that a sweet ride" Emmett was in a daze remembering that day.
"Good times" We all mumbled in unison.
"So how's Bella?" Emmett wiggled his eyebrows as he spoke.
"She's great; we're moving in together tomorrow. Which by the way, can you guys help us move her stuff in?"
"Wait, bro, really?" Emmett sounded so surprised.
"Yeah, her dad's going to flip, but it is what it is. But, it will be good if you guys are there in case of anything." I was worried of what would happen when Charlie found out that Bella was moving in with me instead of Angela.
"Of course we will help you" Jasper said and Emmett nodded in agreement.
"I'm happy for you bro. I think she's good for you. Rose is the best thing that ever happened to me-"
"-and Alice to me"
"I am lucky." As I spoke, my pocket vibrated; it was Bella telling me she was ready.
'Dealing with some things, I'll be out in 20 min' I texted back.
'Okay' My phone vibrated again; I could tell she was worried.
'Jasper and Emmett are here with a couple of my guys. In my office. Don't worry Bumblebee, I'll see you soon and then we'll go home and sleep in OUR bed' Our, I liked the sound of that.
'Thank you' She didn't have to say for what, I knew. A smile lit up on my face.
"How is Alice by the way?" I was worried about my sister-in-law and my brother.
"She's, she's doing the best she can. The doctor says to keep her on bed rest. It's going to be a difficult pregnancy, and a difficult delivery; but, to stay positive. So, that's what we're doing. But all I can think about is losing the baby; or, losing her. I mean, what happens if she doesn't make it? Or the baby, it'll crush my Alice if the baby doesn't make it." Jasper looked so sad; it broke my heart to see my brother like this.
"Bro, she's gonna make it" I said, trying to sound as sure as possible. I get it now; having Bella. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her.
"They both will bro. This family is strong; that's a strong boy or girl in there." Emmett continued my thought.
"I know; it's just the what ifs."
"On a lighter note; when do you find out if I'm gonna be an uncle to a girl or boy?" Emmett asked with glee dancing in his eyes.
"The next ultrasound is next week; they're gonna try then."
"You excited bro?" The look on his face was confusing me; it didn't hold excitement, or anything.
"I am, but then it's more real. If we lose it-"
"You're not going to" I tried my best to assure him.
"-but, if we do; we would know. We wouldn't be losing our baby; we would be losing our son or daughter. That scares me even more." I saw a tear form in his eye, and he rubbed his eye before it would slip out.
"Look at me-"he wouldn't. "Jasper, look at me" He raised his head. "Everything is going to be okay." I tried to convince him.
"We don't know that Ed. I can't help but thinking it's because of all the people we hurt. If I didn't kill the people I did, if I didn't hurt others, would this happen to me? And it sucks bro, it does, because it isn't only me who is paying for my actions; it's my Alice and my child." By this time he let his tears fall. We Cullen men rarely cried; so, to see my brother in tears really hurt.
"Jas… this is not because of that. This is a terrible circumstance, but it is not because of that." Emmett tried so hard to believe what he was saying. But, I could see the worry of the possibilities behind his eyes. I too soaked in what Jasper said and worried about the day I would have kids. Would they pay for what I've done; do I deserve to bring life in this world?
"Jas, we've done terrible things, but we've done good too. We've given money to charities, we helped people who needed…"services". Yes, we've done some questionable things, but that doesn't mean we don't deserve a family." And that was what I honestly believed. I didn't think that what we done caused this.
"I hope yous are right. I just want my baby and Alice to be okay."
"They will be. Now why don't we go home to our beautiful women gentleman?" With that we all got up said our goodbyes. Emmett went home, while Jasper and I went to his house.
"Hey Bella, thank you for hanging out with Alice" Jasper gave Bella a hug.
"It was no problem-" She looked towards Alice, "-she's afraid."
"I know. I'm scared too." I could see the hurt in his eyes.
"She's going to be fine Jas, so it the baby. We Cullens are strong, we're fighters" I said as Bella smiled.
"Thanks bro." Jasper gave me a hug; a long, tight hug.
"She's going to be okay." I whispered in his ear.
"Yeah, she is." Jasper pulled back, I saw the tears in his eyes and he tried to smile, but you could tell it was forced.
"We're gonna get going. You call me if you need anything?" Bella said as she walked over to me and I through my arm over her shoulder, pulled her close and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, you two have fun." He said as he led us to the door.
"Oh we will." I said as I winked at Bella. The giggle that escaped her lips were music to my ears. We walked to my car and went home.
Okay, two things...
1) I need a beta; anyone interested? I'll send you the chapters before I post them to be edited and what not. If you have any input you would like to discuss, it is welcomed.
2) ALSO, If anyone is interested in writing the lemons for this story let me know. I figured out I'm not that good at it, or at lease I don't think so. If you would like to, PM me. You'll get the chapter ahead of time, with me letting you know where it needs to go. Also, if you have any input while reading it, such as: where another one should go, or an idea/something that should be added you are welcome to let me know and it will possibly be added. Of course I'll give you credit. So again, if you would like to just PM me :)
IF THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO BE A BETA AND ALSO WRITE LEMONS THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
PM me and I'll choose someone.
Thank you guys again for waiting and being loyal readers! :)
