The rain was pouring as I pulled up to my brother's house.

Lights where on in almost every room, and I could see Em and Rose through the front room doing...well, let's just say they were getting frisky. I slammed down on my horn making a prolonged loud beeping noise which immediately caught their attention.

The girls unbuckled themselves while I got their book bags out. Rose opened the door still out of breath before we even made it to the porch.

"Hey girls!" she said.

"ROSE!" Allie and Jazz yelled at the same time, running up to give her a hug.

Rose picked them both up and carried them inside. She was just setting them down as Emmett bounded into the room picking them both up in one sweep, spinning them around. He positioned them like footballs in each arm and turned to me.

"What brings my favorite lil sis here?" He said in his booming voice.

"I'm your only sis, Emmy Bear," I replied.

He grinned at me as he set the twins down. He ran over and enveloped me in one of his Squeeze-the-life-out-of-you-so-you-can't-breathe hugs.

"I haven't seen you in forever, Bells!" He yelled in my ear.

"We were at her house Wednesday, Emmett. That was two days ago," Rosalie said with a sarcastic tone. She sat on the couch as Emmett put me down.

"Two days? That's it? It seemed like a lot longer." His facial expression was skeptical for a moment until he turned his attention back to the twins and cheesed. "Who wants to go color!"

Allie and Jazz began jumping up and down, squealing with excitement. Emmett picked them both up like footballs again and ran to the basement. I could hear them screaming all the way there.

FYI- My brother is the biggest kid you will ever meet. He is the only 6 foot (almost 7) tall person who routinely spent four hours every Wednesday at the toy store. He had a heart of gold like a teddy bear (hence the reason I call him Emmy Bear) and muscles like he was on steroids.

The strangest thing about me and my brother is that looking at us, you might not notice right away that we were even related. He was the blue eyed giant while I was petite with chocolate brown eyes. Our relation was only visible when you looked closer and saw that we had the same facial structure and the same curly brown hair.

Emmett considered himself the best big brother in the world, and I couldn't argue with that. He was always there when I needed him, and I never had to worry about any jerks when he was around. He never approved of any guy I was close to at first because he claimed none of them were good enough for me.

"Emmy Bear, I'd like you to meet Edward."

Emmett was stuffing his face with bagels as we approached him. He looked up tentatively and swallowed his mouthful.

"Hello, Emmett, my name is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen" Edward said as he formally extended his hand towards Emmett. Emmett looked at it for a moment before he busted out laughing.

"Wow Bells. This one's a keeper," he got out between guffaws.

The look on Edward's face was priceless. It was a mixture of what-did-I-do and what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-this-guy. He stood there for a moment with his hand still extended. Emmett suddenly stopped laughing and put on a serious look. He stared Edward in the eyes and stood up so that he was hovering over him.

"You'd better be good to my sister. I can bench press twice your ass, so keep that in mind. Got it?"

Edward still hadn't put his hand down. He put it up a little higher.

"Got it," he said as he stared my brother back in the eyes.

Emmett suddenly broke out into a smile and patted him on the back a little too hard.

"Good"

I could still hear the twins screaming downstairs as I was brought back to the present.

I sat down on the couch next to Rose and sighed loudly.

"What's wrong Bella? Is everything okay?" Rosalie looked at me as though she were worried.

"It's nothing. Just…" I began to nervously rub my thighs.

"Tell me," Rose said.

"I'm going fu-" I caught myself. It had taken me so long after the twins were born to rid myself of my potty mouth. "I'm going freaking crazy!" I said instead.

"Did something happen?" Rose replied, seemingly oblivious to my slip.

"I was talking to Angela today when I was going to pick up the twins from daycare."

"Okay…" she edged.

"She started saying how she'd seen Jessica leaving my house yesterday."

"What?"

"Yeah, she claims she was coming by to drop something off to me and when she got to my street she saw Jessica getting in her car and driving away. When I suggested that she could have been there to drop something off for me as well, she said that she looked frizzy like she had just been 'working out' that Jake was standing in the door with no shirt on waving goodbye." I slowly inhaled to control my erratic breathing.

Rose was quiet for a moment before she spoke. She seemed to be taking it all in stride.

"Maybe she was imagining it," she suggested.

"I really don't know, but I did go off on her for lying to me. There's no way he would cheat on me. Not after all we've been through."

"I know it's not something you want to consider but you have to lay all your cards out on the table and see them all at once. I'm not saying he is cheating, but you can't dismiss her claim because you don't want to believe it. You need to think really hard about it before you drop it or jump to conclusions." Rose was looking at me with the I-don't-want-to-see-you-hurt look.

Rose gave great advice and I valued her opinion highly. But I just can't - I won't believe that Jake is cheating on me.
