I don't own Twilight
Bella shivered slightly against the cold wind that blew in the every dusky darkening world that surrounded her. "Are you okay?" Emmett asked.
"Hmm yeah I'm fine." She said rubbing her arms slightly to keep warm. Emmett stopped the wagon and shrugged out of his coat wrapping it around her. "Thanks she whispered." Pulling the warm cloth around herself.
"You're welcome." He clicked his tongues at the horses as they went back down the road. Bella tipped her head up and looked at the stars above her. No words were exchanged Emmett pulled in front of the store and jumped down. He went and unlocked the door and then helped Bella down. "Go on in while I put the horses away." She nodded walking onto the wooden walkway and then through the door into the inky darkness that enveloped the store. She silently made her way up the stairs and turned the knob to the room she was married in. she stood in the dark. A slight stream of light reflecting on the floor. She didn't want to move for fear of breaking something. Emmett came up the stairs and entered the room to find his wife staring at the slice of light reflected on the floor.
"oh." She jumped slightly when she noticed him standing there.
"Here let me turn the light on for you." He went over to the oil lamp on the table and struck a match eliminating the room.
"Thanks I just didn't want to break anything." She said quietly.
"I'm sure you wouldn't break anything." Emmett said coming close to so he was almost touching her. She stiffened. He backed up. She turned around and looked at him as she shrugged out of his coat and handed it back to him.
"Oh uh thanks." He took the coat and laid it across the chair that was near him.
She nibbled on her bottom lip as she looked up at him. "So I have a question."
"What's that?" he smiled as he gestured to a couch that was against one of the walls. She nodded and followed him both sitting down but on opposite sides of the couch.
"I was just wondering…." She twisted her hands. "You know about Jacob and Rachel."
"Oh" It seemed to dawn on him what she was trying to get at. "You mean that they look nothing like anyone else?" Bella nodded silently. "Well You see my mom and my uncle Aro. He's Jasper's dad. They were born to Caius and Bree Everston and then my Grandpa had a mistress her name was Claire she was full blooded Indian . Claire had Sarah who married William Black."
"Oh I see." Bella said taking in the information. It made sense looking at the children but on the other hand it didn't make sense the child of the mistress a Indian on at that being accepting into the family. The wilds of Colorado were certainly different then Boston. But thinking it over Bella thought she liked that. They were still siblings no matter what blood ran through their veins and they were still siblings even if one of them was conceived in an immoral way.
Emmett sighed seeing the looks flashing through his young wives eyes. He couldn't tell how she was going to take it. Really with His Aunt Sarah and Uncle William living in Texas he 'd never really had to deal with the prejudices that encompassed the world. He'd seen it a few times as a young boy when his Aunt would come From New York where they were born to stay with the family in Chicago but then she'd moved to Texas to Live with Aro who had moved down there a year before her and met William and never looked back.
Bella shook her head and looked up at her husband. "I'm sorry that's just a lot to take in."
"I understand." He nodded still holding his breath on what she would say if she would say anything.
"I think its great… It's just I'm not used to things like this. If we were home in Boston no would have acknowledged those children and if you did you'd be shunned yourself. Oh I'm sure a few people would but it seems this is a more open society."
"That it is." Emmett sighed. "I won't lie to you. My mother hated Sarah for the longest time. There is ten years between then and it wasn't until after my grandma Bree died when my mom was seventeen that my mother even allowed herself to look at Sarah. Aro was worse it wasn't until years later until my grandpa died and from much urging from my mother and even my father that he'd acknowledge Sarah. I never saw these things with my own eyes but I heard the stories growing up we all did. Me and Edward, Jasper and Peter. We all heard it." He seemed to sag a bit as he finished speaking.
Bella reached out her hand and gently cupped his face bringing it up to look at her. "I don't know what I was expecting when I got on that stage coach and I didn't realize it would open my eyes so much. I also can't promise that I'll change my views overnight. But I'll try and be more tolerant more understanding and I love those children already. They stole my heart the minuet they started to talk to me. Rose is going to take more time to get used to but I'll try I promise. I know there has to be a story you're not telling me about her but for now you don't have to say anything.
He reached up and took her hand from his face. His big hand encasing her tiny hand. He pulled her closer to him and let go of her hand. His hands then found their way to her waist and he pulled her close their lips only an inch apart. They looked at each other before he finally gave in and pulled her fully to him. Capturing her lips with his.
