I don't own Twilight
Emmett wasn't sure how to handle this situation. There was a pretty young woman standing by his side and then there was these two little kids standing in front of him. He sent an apologetic look to Isabella and took each of the kids hands. "Okay here's what we'll do. We will get in my wagon and go out to my ma and dads and see what they have to say about all of this. The store is right here and the wagon is around back. I'll just hook up the horses can you wait with the children?" he asked looking up at Isabella.
"Of course." She nodded watching him go.
"How do you know Emmett?" Rachel asked looking up at her with wide inquisitive eyes.
"I came here to marry him." Bella said looking down at the young girl.
"Really but you never knew him before?" she asked confused.
"No." Bella shook her head.
"That's odd." She said and Bella thought of maybe explaining it to but figured it wasn't really going to work out so well so she just said nothing and waited for Mr. Cullen to come with the wagon. She looked around the town. It was smaller than she was expecting and the dance hall didn't make her to happy she even cringed a little when she saw the lady in red leaning against the swinging doors.
"Dear lord what have I brought myself to." she breathed. She turned around and looked at the store. It looked decent and she really wanted to go and look inside but Mr. Cullen had asked them to stay and she didn't want to do anything to anger him.
Emmett was hooking the horses to the wagon as he thought about how his parents would react. Sure they had plenty of room on the farm for the children that wouldn't be an issue. No it was Isabella he was worried about. He'd planned to be married to her before she met his parents that way they'd have less they could say about it everything would already be done. Now that wasn't going to happen unless. He chewed on his inner lip and thought about it. If he really wanted to they could get married now. Then he shook his head he was sure Isabella would object to that the poor girl hadn't even had a chance to change out of her clothing. But maybe. He finished with the horses and pulled them around the store. He jumped down and walked in front of Isabella. "Children please go wait in the wagon." He said watching as they scrambled into the back.
"Isabella I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second."
"Of course Mr. Cullen. And please call me Bella."
"Of course and call me Emmett." He said resisting the urge to take her hand.
"Bella I was hoping that maybe we could marry before we went out to my parents. I understand if you don't want to since you haven't even had a chance to change or anything but the thing is only my brother knows you were coming and I don't know how my parents will react I just think it would be easier if we were already married when you meet them."
Bella looked down at her travel worn dress but knew it was still one of the best she owned. She sighed and looked up at him. "Why didn't you tell your parents about me coming are you ashamed of the marriage we are going to make?"
"Oh no." he shook his head. "Your age though I know they would object and might try to stop it. But I really do want to marry you Isa.. Bella" he said
"Can you even get someone to marry us that fast along with a marriage license?"
"Yes I can get a license from my my friend Marcus who is the justice of the peace in these here parts and he can marry us right away. He's actually in the store playing Chess with my cousin he can be our witness and our other one can be…" he turned his head and spotted Rosalie leaning against the dance hall. "Rosalie."
"Rosalie you mean her?" Bella gasped.
"Yes her.." Emmett didn't notice the flash of anger that went over Bella's face.
"You want a salon girl to be a witness at our wedding." She hissed heat climbing her face.
"yes why?" Emmett was bewildered.
"Why because.. Because.. she.. a loose woman." Bella sputtered.
"Ah big town sentimentality." Emmett shook his head.
"Rose is one of the nicest women you'll ever met you'll learn that. "
"Fine whatever." Bella snapped not at all happy with this but knowing Marrying this man was better than going back to Boston even if that did mean associating with a woman like that. She threw a dark look to the woman in question.
"Great I'll be right back." Emmett ran into the store. He was still slightly shocked and a bit angry that someone would think rude things about Rosalie everyone loved Rosalie but he had to remind himself that she came from a big town and one in the east. She had other expectations of what was okay. He just hoped she'd change. He walked up to his friend and his cousin. "I need your help."
"With what?" Marcus leaned back in his chair.
"I'm getting married I need you to marry us and for Jasper to be the witness."
"What slow down and back up you're getting married since when?"
"Since she got off the stage now will you do it or not I have to get it done know a wrench got thrown in the plans and now I have to see my parents I would like to be married before that."
"Yeah right okay one second I'll go and get the things." Marcus walked off well Jasper looked at his cousin.
"You sly dog you." He shook his head. "So where is the gal?"
"Out front I'll be right back." Emmett rushed out and down the walk to Rosalie.
"Rose." He waved.
"Why Emmett Fancy seeing you here. Who was the pretty girl you were talking to I don't think she likes me."
"Don't mind her she'll like you fine once she gets to know you but actually she's the girl that came here to marry me and I was hoping you'd be one of our witness."
"Oh um sure." Rose said looking over at the girl who was staring at the wagon where two children played. "When?"
"Now please."
"Of course lets go." Rosalie followed him across the dusty road just as Marcus came back with the required papers and Jasper came out of the store.
"Are we ready?" Marcus asked.
"yes." Emmett nodded.
Marcus looked over at the girl who's name Emmett hadn't even provided him. "Miss are you ready."
"Yes." Bella nodded. "Rachel Jacob come down here please." The two kids scrambled down and came to the adults.
"What's going on?" Rachel asked.
"We're going to have a wedding." Emmett smiled.
"Where would you like to do this?" Marcus asked.
"The living room upstairs is okay." Emmett said.
"Okay" Marcus nodded and walked into the store and up the stairs everyone else following him. Bella walked into the store barley able to see anything her bag still clutched in her hand as she hurried to follow everyone. She followed them through a door and looked around the room briefly as Marcus stood in the middle of the room. "Emmett and…" he trailed of.
"Isabella Swan." She provided.
"Okay Isabella. Why don't the two of you stand here." He pointed to a spot in front of him.
"Jasper Rose and the children can stand behind them once everyone was settled he opened his bible and looked at the couple in front of him. "Today we come together to join these two." Bella knew she said the right words and before she knew it she was being pronounced Mrs. Emmett Cullen. Emmett leaned down and kissed her she felt shock through her body at the mere touch of his lips. They signed all the documents and Marcus whisked them away. Bella didn't even have time to take anything in before she knew it she was in the wagon and headed towards the Cullen claim.
