YAY! So today is my birthday and it has been pretty lame so far lol ( I just woke up) so to make it a better day I am giving you all a chapter. I got the twilight Box set and a night at the Jasper hotel OH yeah Melbourne is now the officially the coolest city in the WORLD because they have a hotel named Jasper. So I gotta go and pac,k hope you all like this one.

Week 32

"What ya doing mamma?" Jasper said as he jumped on the couch next to me.

"Applying to universities that have on line programs so I can stay home with Avery, I got you an application as well." I handed him an identical pile of papers.

"Already done it babe," he said switching on the TV.

"When?" He had never mentioned it to me.

"A couple months ago," He was still channel surfing. "Debbie from the office at Dartmouth said I was all but in."

"Why didn't we tell me your beautiful fiancé about this?" he finally stopped watching the TV and looked at me.

"You have never used that word before," a tiny smile was growing on his face.

"What word?" I was pretty sure that I had used all those words before.

"Fiancé," that one word sent shivers down my spine. I didn't realise that I had used that word.

"I wear the ring don't I," I held out my hand.

"This is the wrong hand Bella, an engagement ring is meant to be on the other hand," he pointed out.

Here I took the ring off and placed it on the hand he was holding.

"I think I am ready to tell everyone."

"Hey bel bel," he greeted me planting a cold kiss on the top of my head.

"Hello Emmett," I went back to studying.

"Did you hear I am getting Married?"

"Yeah you know who else is Jasper, you should talk to him about that," he joked.

"I might have to do that thanks."

"Doing anything important?" he questioned innocently.

"Studying for my biology exam, don't have much to do Jasper let me borrow all his notes from the last time he went through school," I held up a folder full of notes.

"Yeah the boy found paying attention in class a good distraction from the day dreams about eating the people around him." He seemed extremely different, somewhat distant.

"Can you do that in the car?" he was rearranging some of the papers I had all over the room.

"We are going on a road trip?"

"I need you to meet someone really special to me," it was weird he wasn't the Emmett I knew he was so serious. "It won't take long; we will be back Sunday night."

"As long as you help me with all this," I motioned to the piles of papers.

"Can you pack, I will get you some food" he said getting up and leaving.

"You leave Edward alone," I yelled after him.

"Wanna tell me where we are going?" We had passed through 3 states and we didn't show any signs of stopping yet, I really needed to pee and stretch my legs.

"We will be there in a little while," he said staring out the window.

"You know it would make us feel a whole lot better if you actually watched the road."

"You know I don't have to, but I will."

"Thank you."

"I want you to know something," he said after a long silence.

"Do I get to hear a secret?" I joked but he was still being serious Emmett.

"You will always be taken care of Bella, you will never," he stopped before he finished.

"What are you saying? I will never what?" I was a little scared.

"I will never let you die Bella."

"Everybody dies sometime," I know that I had the option not to but I didn't need to make that decision just yet.

"I will not let you die before your time Bella. I have something that will make sure that you're always breathing for your daughter."

"What are you talking about?" I was starting to get a little scared.

Emmet leaned over his cold lips lightly pressing against mine. Which made me feel more than uncomfortable.

"I love you Bella and I am never going to let anything happen to you."

"Emmett what's wrong?" I could feel that I was beginning to cry. It was like a speech that you give to someone you know is going to die; well I guess I am in some weird way and I think Emmett knew that.

"Nothing Bella, I just want you to know that you are safe." His hand reached over and took mine and we continued driving in silence.

"We are here," he announced suddenly three hours later.

"And where is this?" I had fallen asleep and had no idea where we were.

"We are in Tennessee," he said getting out of the car rushing over to open my door.

"You drove me across the county. For what?" I was tired my feet hurt and I desperately needed to go the toilet, his charm wasn't working on me anymore.

"I told you I wanted you to meet someone," he said taking my hand.

"Who?" I wanted to hit him.

"I want you to meet my sister," he said leading me inside.

"Mr McCarty it is so good to see you again," the perky women at the counter greeted us as we entered the room. "Louise asks about you often you are her favourite visitor."

"Is she awake? Emmett asked ignoring the women flirting with him, pushing out her chest and batting her eyes.

"Yes she is in her room, you can just go through if you would like."

"Emmett--- your sister," I was so shocked I was just blindly following him.

"No one else knows Bella not even Rose, it is really not allowed. I just needed you to meet her," he looked serious.

"You are very special to me Bella, just like my sister. I thought you would like to hear some stories about our mother."

"I would really like that," It had finally sunk in. He had driven me across the country to meet the only family that he had left. I was the only one that knew; I was special.

"Doesn't she question why you haven't aged?" I whispered.

"She has very old; she has good days and bad ones. Most of the time she doesn't remembered I died," he looked sad when he admitted this. This was a different side of Emmett that I had never seen before.

"This is it," he said pointing to the brown down with the number 42 on it.

"It is the best retirement home in Tennessee, when I found her she was alone in an apartment, living in her own filth. Her children had abandoned her; the world had forgotten she existed. I pay for everything she needs and visit once a month."

"You're amazing," I could feel tears running down my face.

"Don't cry Bells," he whipped the tears off my cheek quickly kissing me and then turning and entering the room.

"Who is there?" the room was dark and I couldn't quite tell where the voice was coming from.

"It is me, Emmett."

"Oh my Emmett, turn the light in and come and give me a hug." The voice ordered.

The room was suddenly filled with light looking around it looked more like an upscale hotel room rather than a retirement home. Emmett let go of my hand and moved across the room and embraced a little women that looked exactly like him.

"I have missed you so much Louise," he muttered.

"You are always so freezing," she playfully tapped him. "I have told you to get a jacket you are going to catch a cold, you never listen to me."

"My jacket is in the car Louise. I always listen to you," he sat down taking her hand in his and looking at her lovingly.

"You bought a friend," she said looking me up and down.

"This is my wife Rosalie, remember I told you about her," he walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I maybe old my dear brother but I am not an idiot," she got up and walked over to us.

"Louise Fisk," she offered me her hand.

"Rosalie McCarty," it was the name that the lady at the front used. I just assumed it was the name her was using.

"You never mentioned she was pregnant," she said looking at Emmett.

"Surprise," he said smiling.

"Come and sit with me," she motioned for us to follow her.

"Am I going to have a new little niece or nephew?" she walked slowly to a big comfortable looking arm chair in the middle of the room.

"We are having a girl," Emmett said smiling sitting on the couch opposite Louise pulling me down beside him.

"Well this is a surprise, does she have a name?" she said.

"Avery."

"Mum?" she said the smile dropping from her face and stared off into the distance.

"Louise? Louise?" Emmett rushed over to her taking her hand.

"Emmett?" she stared at him touching his face.

"It is me Louise," he pushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

"No, Liar!" she shot up and pushed him away.

"You never came back; they said you died in the woods. You never came back."

"I came back Louise. Don't you remember I came back?"

"Look at me," she said rushing over to a mirror.
"You look exactly the same as the day you left. You are a liar, you are a ghost. Leave now," She screamed.

"Louise please I am your brother, just forget about that please," he was frantic. He kept reaching his hand out to touch her but always pulled back before he could reach her.

"Liar!" she screamed again.

"Please," he said taking her hand.

"That was our mothers name right? Avery" in a second she had changed and a smile returned to her face.

"Yeah Louise that was our mothers name," he took her by the hand and lead her back to the couch.

"Have you told her about the time we all got in the car and just drove for days and days?"

"We ended up at this pizza shop in Chicago and then we turned around and drove back home," Emmett laughed his big goofy laugh.

"I missed you Emmett," he took his face in her hands.

"I missed you too Louise".

"If just asked I would have played along." Louise had fallen asleep Emmett had lovingly carried her bed and then we had left.

"I just wanted to give her a family that loves her. She has no one Bella we could be her family," if he could the big strong Emmett the rock to everyone around him would have cried. And that scared me.

"We will be her family Emmett," I said wrapping my arms around him.

I am sorry lol. I hope you liked it. Please review and make my birthday I am off to the Jasper enjoy.
