Emmett POV

God my face hurt from Edwards beating, but it wasn't anything I didn't deserve. I had a lovely black eye and a cut on my lip. I was having a drink to try and make my face numb, so I couldn't feel it anymore. I had lost count of how many drinks I had because my mind kept wondering back to Bella and how she was here in Seattle. I loved the fact that she only lived a few blocks away from me. I knew it was wrong for me to love her after all the hurt I had caused my brother because of it but I couldn't help it. I would love her no matter what.

I decided I would do what Alice said I walked out the door not totally sure if I had locked it or not. I stumbled my way through the streets ending up in front of what I believed was Bella's house. I was so close to seeing Bella after a very long year. I made my way up to the front door knocking loudly. The door swung open to Bella standing there in her short shorts and barely then tank top.

"Bella baby." I said throwing my arms around her little frame and lifting her up.

"Emmett what the hell are you doing here put me down now." I stumbled into the house with her still in my arms I managed to close the door behind me before putting her down.

"Emmett it's one in the morning. Why are you here? How did you know where I lived?" She was asking too many questions and it was hurting my head. I found my way to the closest chair which was her lounge.

"I dunno I'm just here. Wait, wait Alice told me to come that's right." My head was starting to hurt again and I wasn't sure if it was because of the beating or the alcohol in my system.

"Jesus Christ Emmett what happened to your face?" She touched my black eye.

"Fuck Bella, that hurts." She raced off and I was worried I had scared her off I needed her with me. She walked back into the room holding a frozen bag of peas.

"Here put this on it, it might help." She placed the bag on my eye. She was so close to me and she looked gorgeous. She had not changed at all. All I wanted to do was kiss her.

"Emmett lay down your drunk and I'm not letting you leave like this. We'll talk in the morning." I wasn't going to argue if I got to stay the night it meant I could see her in the morning. When my head hit the lounge I was out of it. I dreamed about mine and Bella's night together all night.

Bella POV

When Rose went to bed I broke down again, but I promised myself that this would be the last time I cried over this. I had to look forward to the future instead of always looking back into the past. There was only one last thing I had to do before I could move on and that was to tell Emmett.

I had finally calmed down and was about to go to bed when there was a loud banging at our door. I was amazed it didn't wake Rose and Elijah up. I walked down stairs and opened the door. Standing there was a very drunk Emmett you could tell by the way he was standing and when he lifted me up you could easily smell it. When he sat down on my lounge I saw the damage on his face. I grabbed a bag of frozen peas to try and stop some of the swelling. I decided right then that this was a sign to me that I had to tell him. I wasn't going to allow him to go home I was going to tell him tomorrow morning as soon as he was sober. Plus I didn't trust him to get home safely in his condition. He didn't put up a fight instead he laid down and fell asleep straight away.

I went back up into my room and fell asleep knowing that tomorrow everything would be out in the open and I could move on and have a happy future with Elijah.

Emmett POV

I woke with a piercing headache. I could hear Bella in another room talking to a woman.

"Bella why is he here? I don't understand."

"He showed up drunk last night and I took it as a sign that I have to tell him. I couldn't do it while he was drunk." Why were they talking about me and what did I need to know. I made myself known then by walking into the kitchen where they were.

"Hi ladies." Bella smiled at me while the blond glared at me with daggers.

"I'm going out Bella have fun with the dumbass over there." Dumbass what have I ever done to her.

"Would you like a coffee Em?" Bella asked in her sweet little voice. God I loved it when she called me by my nickname.

"Yeah I could really use one actually." I looked down smiling sheepishly. I sat down at the kitchen table while she made our coffees she came over once she was done.

"So what actually happened to your face?" I didn't know if I wanted to tell her that it was Edward or not she didn't need to know how much he was hurting but I decided against I need to be open and honest with everyone now.

"Edward came over to my house yesterday and beat the shit out of me. He found out about us and didn't take it too well."

"So that's where he stormed off to."

"Wait he was here did he say anything to upset you Bella." She shook her head.

"Nothing I didn't deserve I'm sorry he beat you up. I shouldn't have told him." She wasn't looking at me anymore.

"It's fine we needed to tell him sooner or later." I grabbed her chin so she was looking up at me and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Emmett I need to tell you something I just don't know how."

"You can tell me anything Bella no matter what." Just as she opened her mouth to tell me I heard the cry of my nephew.

"Emmett just stay here please I'll be right back." She got up and left me in the kitchen.

Bella POV

I was going to tell Emmett I was so close and then Elijah woke up. I went to my son seeing how much he truly did look like his father now. I picked him up snuggling his face into the side of my neck. I went back to the kitchen so I could get Elijah his breakfast and ultimately tell Emmett.

"Wow Bells he's gotten so big." He came over with his arms out stretched ready to hold Elijah.

"How's my nephew doing?" I stepped away from him I needed to tell him.

"Emmett what I have to say has something to do with Elijah." I looked down at my son who's little green eyes were looking up at me.

"Elijah isn't Edward's son."

"Who is then?" Here it goes I had nothing to lose.

"He's yours."

Wonder how Emmett's going to react. Review please, I have tomorrow off so hopefully I can get a few chapters done : )
