Thank you so much to Marlowe who beated this chapter; Sorry it has taken me so long to update I had a little bit of writers block.
"Emmett!" I screamed, "Emmett, Emmett!" And within a second, he was at
my side. I got up and launched myself into his arms, pressing myself
against his cold stone body. The feeling of his cold arms around me
was still comforting in some way.
"He hates me, Emmett. He doesn't want me here anymore," I sobbed.
"Were you listening to the same conversation I was?" he asked, letting
me go. " All Charlie wants to do is protect you."
"I want to stay here with him and Jasper and Pringles."
"Who the hell is Pringles?" he said, looking confused.
"Emmett, are you really that stupid?" I pushed him away.
"What's wrong?" I heard Jaspers yell from my bedroom.
"I think your girlfriend has cracked!" Emmet yelled back.
"Bella, are you okay?" Jasper replied.
I grabbed the key off the coffee table and stormed upstairs and into my room.
"Why can't you just have a normal family?" I yelled, yanking at the
handcuffs and unlocking them.
"Well, my family is here," he said, putting his hands around my waist,
pulling me closer.
"Does that mean we can burn Emmett?" I joked.
"Like to see you try," Emmett yelled from downstairs.
"We are never going to get away from them, are we?" I sunk further
into Jasper's arms.
"Why are we hating Emmett all of a sudden?" he asked, scooping me up
bridal style and carrying me to the bed.
"I don't know. He is just started to bug me." Jasper lay down and
pulled me towards him.
"Your mom is coming tomorrow, and Carlisle and Esme." I loved it when
he held me. I wanted to stay like this forever. He was so soft and
warm- nothing like Edward. "It isn't going to be pretty- Esme and
Carlisle love to play mom and dad, but they don't get to do it to
often. They always over-compensate with a 'good cop bad cop' routine,"
he said, running his hand through my hair.
"Last time they did it, was because Emmett ran thought the school
naked. They loved it, They promised to ground him and cut off his
allowance," he said chuckling.
"How do you think they are going to deal with this?" I asked, bringing
my hands down to my stomach.
"Esme will be thrilled, but she won't show it. And Carlisle will
properly be happy, but he will pretend to be mad."
"Do you miss them?"
"In some ways, I do. When you're with people 24 hours a day for as
long as we were, you will always miss them. But on the other hand, it
is so good to be away from them. But I have you and Pringles now." He
smiled.
"We need to give the baby a different name." I had never even given a
thought to names. I guess I really hadn't had time to process the
whole situation. I was just so happy to have Jasper back, I really
didn't care about anything else.
"Do you want to get married?" Jasper posed the question so casually.
"What?" I said sitting up "Repeat what you just said."
"I mean, that is what people do when they are having a baby. It is
what they did back in my day," he said looking a little sad.
"I am not saying no, grandpa" I reassured him, "but can we just deal
with one thing at a time?"
"Grandpa? That hurts Bella. And if you are going to be accurate, it
would be more like great-great-great-Grandpa to you, Miss Swan." He
laughed, but it didn't seem sincere.
"I do love you, it is just... I think my mother would like it better
if I was pregnant than if I was getting married." I tried to defend my
decision.
"Bella, it is okay I understand," he said kissing my hair.
JPOV
"You are a smart kid." Charlie had returned and hour ago when I was
making my something to eat and we had been sitting in the kitchen in
an awkward silence ever since. "So you see why she has to leave."
"It don't matter what I think. Bella doesn't want to leave and I know
that deep down you really don't want her to leave".
"What I want doesn't matter. You have to take a step back and look at
the situation." He was trying to convince me to let Bella leave, and
that was never going to happen.
"You might think that you love her now, but after the baby is born,
the romance of a family wears off, and then she will leave".
"Bella is not her mother. She loves it here and wants to stay".
"That's not what this is about. Bella is 18. Do you know what people
will say when they find out?"
" I know how old she is, and I do wish that this happened when she was
older and we were both ready, but it didn't"
"How old are you really?" Charlie leaned forward.
"I'm twenty." Shit. "Why?"
"Nothing. it just seems that you're too wise for your age, and your
very calming. You know that?"
"I have been told that once or twice," I said, smiling.
"She is my baby girl. I should want to rip your throat out for what
you are doing to her, but you're better than the alternative." This
conversation was starting to become more and more awkward. He switched
between emotions more than anyone I knew.
"Alternative?".
"Edward. No offence to your brother, but that boy was a little creepy."
"Jasper!" A half-awake Bella rounded the corner. "Dad!" a brilliant
smile creeped across her face and she raced across the room and threw
her arms around her father's neck.
"I am so sorry, dad," she sobbed.
"It is alright Bella. Everything is going to be alright. We are going
to take care of you".
Later that day
"They're coming," Emmett said, just letting himself in the front door.
"Hey, big guy, knock," Charlie said, grabbing his jacket and heading
for the door.
"No, you can't leave again," Bella said, rushing over to Charlie.
"I am just going to get your mother, Bella. I will be back a in an
hour," he said taking her into his arms, "Okay?"
"Just come back."
"She is a little moody," Emmett said, sitting next to me.
"Shut up." Habit caused me to reach over to Emmett and punch his arm,
but I should really stop doing that because I was sure that it hurt me
more than it hurt him. "Where is Edward?"
"He is coming with Esme and Carlisle. They should be here any minute."
"Do I look all right?" Bella came and stood before us. She was wearing
a tight white singlet and a pair of blue jeans.
"You look amazing, babe," I said, pulling her towards me.
"Simply edible," Emmett said, leaning over, kissing Bella's neck.
"Hey, I don't share," I said, pulling her closer to me. This caused an
amazing laughter to burst out of Bella.
"Who said I was going to share?" Emmett said, smiling. "She smells
more like you each day. I am having trouble controlling myself," he
said, running his finger along her neck.
"Okay, back away, Emmett." I said positioning myself in front of Bella.
"Ouch, that hurt, bro. I was only joking," he said, pretending to be hurt.
"No, he wasn't," Edward said, walking through the front door.
"Knock, people!" Bella exploded.
"We are not people, Bella," he said smiling, looking her up and down.
No you don't! I thought to myself.
"Relax, Jasper. I wasn't even thinking it," he said, looking at me
with that air of superiority that Edward always had.
"I could see it in you eyes!" I was yelling at him and I didn't even realize it.
"There was nothing in my eyes, Jasper."
"Now, children," a familiar voice called from the door. "No fighting,"
she said smiling.
Hope you like this one please review.
