Chapter eight. Surprise, surprise.
"Shit", I muttered as Jacob immediately rolled to the side.
And there they were.
Emmett, holding hands with Rosalie striding over.
Rosalie was wearing a beautiful baby blue matching bikini. Her long legs and flat stomach made me instantly self conscious. Emmett was wearing no shirt and some beach shorts. His large muscles flexed easily and showed with no trouble.
Alice, linked arms with jasper looking anxious. Jasper was wearing a white shirt and some shorts whilst Alice wore a mini skirt and the top of a pink bikini.
And Edward was looking as if the queen of England had slapped him across the face on national TV. He wore a white shirt and some dark blue shorts.
Oh and Emmett looked ready to kill. To kill me. And Jacob.
Gulp.
Emmett smirked cunningly as he began to speak.
"First, I'll pull off that shiny hair of yours, one by one. Pound that face in with my mother's pan. Then I strip your skin and feed it to my cat. Finally, I'll use my father's scalpel and slice off your –"
"Emmett, we don't have a cat", I interrupted him standing up. Jacob stood up too. I held his hand and pulled him slightly behind me.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded.
"Jacob black" Emmett sneered looking straight over my head to Jake's face.
"Emmett", Jacob shrugged. I was glad he wasn't cowering in a corner like mike would be doing. Even though Jake was built and tall and strong, Emmett was really big.
"We're going home, right now", Emmett commanded.
"Ok, see you later", I dismissed turning around.
"No!" he snapped. He grabbed the towel off the ground and threw it on me.
"We, as in, you, are going home", he explained, "and if I ever see him in that position with you ever again, there's gonna be trouble, Bella. And cover up!"
"You're embarrassing me, Emmett. Go away", I snapped throwing the towel back again.
"I'm telling dad", he said quite seriously.
"What did I do?" I cried in outrage.
"What did you do? He was all over you! You were like eels, all over the place", Emmett said in disgust, "and don't think I didn't see where your hands were wandering to, Jacob."
"They're going to do more than wander when they elope", muttered Lauren quietly.
But unfortunately they heard that.
"Elope?" repeated Edward, "who's eloping?"
"Oh, you guys don't know about the ring", mumbled Lauren to herself. A bit too loudly.
"Ring? What ring?" demanded Emmett. I looked up at Jacob, feeling panicked.
"He proposed", Lauren shrugged, "and she said yes. They're engaged you know."
Engaged. Oh crap.
"Thanks Lauren", I hissed, "why don't you tell him I'm pregnant too?"
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?" yelled Alice suddenly bouncing up and down, "cool, how long? Who's baby? Is it Jacob's? Or mike's?"
"It's not mike's", snapped Jacob suddenly tensing up.
What did he mean?
It was no one's. I wasn't even pregnant!
It took a couple of seconds for me to realise that the murderous look on Emmett's face had suddenly appeared. Like when I was in second grade and he was in sixth grade. I walked out of class holding hands with a boy, called Luke, Emmett went simply mad. I wondered later that day what would've happened if our parents weren't around. Still, poor Luke ended up with a foot cast anyway.
Alice looked, somehow, happy. Jasper looked neutral. Rosalie looked gorgeous and not really bothered. Edward had a frustrated face on. Jake didn't even tense next to me. His hands were round mine and he felt completely relaxed.
"Emmett", I began, "look, this isn't –"
"You knocked her up?" roared Emmett and then he launched for Jacob.
