"No!" Olivia screamed ducking under Emmett's trying to get out the door.
"Olivia you have caused enough trouble. I don't need you to get in anymore." Emmett said rolling his eyes as he reached out and grabbed her around the waist.
"Emmett!" She whined sticking her lip out. He rolled his eyes again and sat her down so he could finish undressing her.
"I want mommy." She whined a tear rolling down her cheek.
"What do you think mommy would have done if she saw you pour your food on Missie's head?" Emmett asked setting her in the warm water. She sat down with a huff and folded her arms.
"She would have given you a spanking." He said with a smirk. She stuck her tongue out at him and he rolled his eyes. She pouted and moved all the back in the tub so Emmett couldn't reach her.
"Olivia." Emmett sighed. She grinned smugly and shot him the bird. His eyes widened in shock before glaring.
"Olivia where did you learn that?" He yelled. She pointed at him and he frowned.
"When did I do that?" He asked.
"When you and Jasper were playing." She answered. Then Emmett winced when he remembered doing it. He didn't think she'd been in there.
"Don't ever do that again." He said shaking his head.
"But you did." She whined.
"Yes but I shouldn't have done it." Emmett said kneeling down beside the tub.
"Why?" Olivia asked.
"Because every time someone does it somewhere in the world a puppy drops down dead." Emmett said making up something quickly. Olivia's eyes widened in shock before tears built up in her eyes and screamed. Crap! Emmet you idiot! Emmett yelled slapping himself mentally. He reached for her and she cried harder. Edward and Jasper ran into the room, Jasper holding a half naked Missie.
"What happened?" Edward asked looking at Emmett.
"I killed a puppy!" Olivia screamed thru her sobs before Emmett could open his mouth to explain. Jasper and Edward looked at Emmett with confused expressions so he explained.
"Emmett you idiot!" Jasper yelled.
"I'm sorry!" Emmett yelled back. Edward rolled his eyes and knelt down beside the bath tub.
"It's ok Olivia. No puppies died." He said in a soothing tone throwing a glare at Emmett over his shoulder.
"He was just being stupid sweetie." Jasper said kneeling down beside Edward. She looked up hopefully and Edward reached for her. She threw herself at him and he wrapped a towel around her. She whimpered against his neck and Jasper patted her back before standing up again.
"I'm going to go finish Missie." He said walking towards the door.
"Emmett you help Jasper and I'll take care of Olivia." Edward said still soothing Olivia. Emmett sighed then nodded before following Jasper.
"I can't believe you told her that." Jasper said shaking his head.
"Just shut up Jasper." Emmett groaned as they walked into Jasper and Alice's room.
"I didn't know what to say. I was shocked she'd done that!" Emmett said in defense leaning back against the doorframe while Jasper finished undressing Missie and sat her down in the tub.
"Well you shouldn't have said that puppies die. She's two!" Jasper said shaking his head.
"Well what was I supposed to say?" He asked.
"Not that." Jasper said rinsing soap out of Missie's hair and she giggled. Emmett sighed and shook his head. Jasper smirked and stood up to get a towel to wrap Missie in.
"Don't worry Emmett. It's not the first mistake we're going to make while we're with these two munchkins." Jasper said coming back into the bathroom with a pink towel over his arm. Emmett looked at him with a raised brow.
"What?" Jasper asked confused. Emmett pointed at the pink towel and Jasper rolled his eyes.
"It's Alice's." He said kneeling back down beside the tub where Missie was splashing around and giggling.
"Ok Missie. Time to dry off." Jasper said reaching for her.
"No!" She said splashing and giggling.
"Please?" He asked.
"No!" She said again splashing him. He sighed and looked down at his wet shirt.
"Come on." He said reaching down and grabbing her. She screamed and kicked at him while he tried to wrap the pink towel around her.
"No!" She screamed.
"What is wrong with you?" Jasper asked after a few minutes of struggling with Missie.
"No pink!" She screamed glaring at the pink towel.
"Oh yeah I forgot." Jasper said shaking his head. Then a white towel landed on his head. He looked up to see Emmett smirking above him.
"See told you. I already made a mistake." Jasper said grabbing the towel. Missie shivered and whimpered as Jasper wrapped the towel around her.
"Cold." She shivered against him as he stood.
"I know I'm sorry we'll get you warm in a second." Jasper said stopping beside Emmett.
"Take her and get her dressed." He said and Emmett took her. When he went into the two girls' room he found Edward sitting on the floor next to Olivia's bed holding the sniffling child. Emmett sighed and carried Missie to the changing table and sat her down gently and pulled the towel away so he could dress her. She chatted to him excitedly about something he couldn't understand and he smiled. When she was dressed Emmett picked her up and carried her to her bed and covered her up.
"Goodnight Missie." He said softly kissing her forehead. She yawned and buried her head in her pillow. Emmett smiled and began to leave.
"I'm going to bed before I do something else." He said to Edward as he left and Edward nodded. As he lay in bed thunder began rumbling in the distance. Around twelve, two hours after the girls had been put to bed and Edward and Jasper gone their own rooms, it had turned into a full blown thunderstorm. He buried his head in his pillow, trying to block out the noise, when there was a scream, followed by footsteps pounding on the wood floor in his room, and then a figure dove under the covers into his stomach. Emmett cried out in shock and sat up straight, ripping the blankets off and looking down at Olivia's shaking figure.
"Olivia? What are you doing in here?" He asked frowning and pulling her up.
"Th-thunder." She whimpered just before another bright flash of lightening followed by loud thunder. She buried her head in his chest and. He wrapped his arms around her and chuckled.
"It's not going to hurt you." He said softly.
"Yes it is!" She said muffled by his shirt. Emmett sighed and got up to take her back to her room. Missie was sleeping peacefully and he reached down in her crib to pull her blanket back over her. Then he laid Olivia back in her bed and pulled her blankets over her.
"No!" Olivia scream terrified. Emmett placed his hand over her mouth and shushed her.
"Missie is sleeping. You need to be quiet." He said. Tears formed in her eyes and he pulled his hand away.
"I don't want to sleep in here." She whispered horrified.
"You have too sweetie." He said gently pushing her back down.
"No." She hissed.
"Yes."
"No!" She screamed louder than before and he covered her mouth again.
"Alright! You can stay with me." He hissed standing up straight. She stood up on her bed and reached up for him. He took her and he walked back to his room, checking on Missie again to make sure she was still asleep.
"Emmy I-"
"I know you're scared." He said before she finish.
"No I have to go." She said when he set her down on his bed.
"You have to go where?" He asked.
"I have to go." She insisted with a pained expression.
"Where do you h- Oh! I'm sorry Olivia I didn't realize." He said realizing what she meant and he carried her into the bathroom quickly.
"No can I got to sleep?" He asked carrying her back to his room. She nodded and he laid her down on one side before getting in on the other. Another crack of thunder and she was on his side in half a second. He sighed and rolled over to hold her.
"Now go to sleep." He said gently.
