Chapter 6: Operation: Save Charlie

EPOV (Emmett)

We drove as fast as we could towards Bella's house. Edward and I took my Jeep while Carlisle and Jasper took Jasper's car.

"Do you think Charlie's okay?"

I asked Edward who was staring out the passenger side window. He turned towards me, and was quiet for a moment.

"Hello? Are you in there?"

I said waving my free hand in front of his face. Edward blinked a few times.

"Yes. Alice and I were speaking to each other. Your baby's here."

My eyes lit up at those words. I smiled at him, but Edwards face was grave and hard as stone.

"What's wrong bro?"

I asked him. Edward spoke very low.

"She's following us. We have to come up with something to make it look like we're not going to Bella's home."

He said motioning for me to turn at the next corner. I did and Carlisle and Jasper went towards Bella's house to get Charlie.

"Did Alice see this?"

I asked him. Edward nodded silently and we headed for the convenience store.

"Yes. We have to be careful what we say or do. She's watching."

Edward said as we pulled into the parking lot. We got out of the car and entered the doors. We headed down an isle while I grabbed a box of Twinkies.

"What on Gods green Earth are you doing?!"

Edward snapped at me.

"Trying to make this look legible."

I snapped back. Edward glared at me.

"Put the Twinkies back… now!"

Edward said pointing at the blue and white box I was holding. I set them back down and glared back.

"Fine. But if anyone blames me for not getting any Twinkies, I'm holding you personally responsible!"

I snapped at him turning towards the stand up coolers. Edward rolled his eyes, and we walked through each isle browsing.

We kept our conversations as quiet as possible picking up things as we went. Edward handed me two Arizona teas, and decided to get the box of Twinkies. We walked up to the desk and paid for the items. Back in the car, Edward was silent again.

"You and Alice talking again?"

I asked him after a few moments silence. Edward nodded and spoke.

"Jasper and Carlisle just got to Bella's house. Charlie was cornered, and Jasper threw off Victoria. Carlisle escaped with Charlie and Jasper ran into the woods Victoria following him. Charlie and Carlisle are on their way back home."

He said looking at me. I thought for a moment, and then gave my answer.

"We should go and help Jasper."

Edward nodded silently, and then spoke at vampire speed.

"Lets go home, and warn the rest of them. I want to see Bella before I go. We need to drop this stuff off anyway."

I nodded and turned the corner towards our house. Soon enough, I could see Carlisle's car in the driveway. I pulled in and left my Jeep running. We entered the house to find everyone seated in the living room. Rose looked up and smiled at me. I looked down in her arms, and saw a little pink bundle cradled there. I looked back up at her and smiled. Edward walked back over to Bella and pulled her aside. They spoke as I held my baby girl for the first time. Rose smiled at me.

"Well, no time to waste. Lets go."

Edward said coming out of the corner with Bella in tow. She sat down on the couch next to Charlie. I handed back the baby and Rose took her softly. I stood giving Rose a kiss on the cheek and touching my babies face softly.

"Alright. We'll be back soon."

Carlisle said standing up with the rest of us. We headed out the door to go and help our brother. There was no way he could take her alone…
