Hoping for Forever
Emmett's POV
My little brother just got married. We all thought this day would never come. But she's perfect for him and I couldn't be happier.
"Daddy!" a very hyped up on sugar Emberlee calls and my very pregnant Bella is trying to keep up. I scoop Emberlee up and kiss Bella on the cheek.
"Have you danced?" I ask her.
"Do I look like I can dance?" she asks slightly annoyed. I hope Krista comes very soon.
"You'll dance with me. You dance with me at every wedding."
"We've only been to three. We don't have very many friends." At that you start to tear up. "Please Krista, we are ready whenever you are" I will my unborn daughter to hear me. And Bella smacks me. But she lets me lead her to the dance floor. And we dance until Edward steals her from me.
"She looks like she's going to explode" Rose says to me as I watch them.
"Don't tell her that…"
"I'm not stupid! Do you want me to take Emberlee so you can have some peace for a couple of days?"
"Alone time with cranky Bella? I don't know. Emberlee makes a good shield."
"Bella, I'm taking Emberlee home tonight." She yells out to Bella.
"Oh I love you Rose!" she yells back.
That makes one of us.
Two very long weeks later little Krista makes her appearance. And she is beautiful. Bella is begging to leave hospital ten minutes after her birth. She's hates being here after being here for so long after the accident.
The accident… We never talk about it. But it changed us. We loved each other before but it was easy to take things and each other for granted. But not anymore. We both know that our happiness can be shattered in an instant.
Love like there is no tomorrow while hoping for forever. As if ever forever could be long enough.
