Sorry I haven't updated in a couple of days. Here's a new chapter hope you all like it.

When I woke up I tried to move so that I could go to the bathroom but I couldn't move. I turned my head slightly seeing Emmett with his arm wrapped around my waist pulling me towards him. Sometime during the night we ended up moving closer together to the point there was no space between us. I didn't make a move to get out of bed, it was actually nice to lay in his arms. I couldn't explain it but it felt like I was meant to be here. I managed to roll over to look at him, he was still sleeping but he looked so beautiful. The only man in my life who I thought I loved was Edward but looking at Emmett now and the son we had made together made me rethink that.

Was it possible for me to love Emmett? Looking at him I knew it was but I didn't know if he liked me anymore than a friend. I had lied to him about his son, but he had taken it in his stride and accepted Elijah. My head was so confused. While looking at Emmett I knew that if he showed any sign of wanting to be with me I would take it, even if it ended in heart ache, because I don't think I could live wondering if we could have made it. I wanted us to work for Elijah that little boy deserved a happy normal life with his parents. Emmett's eyes started to flutter and I knew he would be waking up.

"Morning beautiful." He said opening his eyes to find me in his arms.

"Morning beautiful yourself." God I'm an idiot did I just call him beautiful. He smiled his dimpled smile, which looking at now I loved.

"Sorry I didn't mean to grab you in the middle of the night." He said taking his arm away from me.

"No it's fine, I kind of liked it anyway." I grabbed his arm and put it back around me. He looked stunned but soon smiled again. I had no idea where I got this confidence from, but I was not going to let him get away unless he really wanted to. He looked me in the eyes and then down at my lips. He was leaning closer to me and I swore he was going to kiss me, but then Esme decided to walk in without knocking.

"Are you two up?" She asked pleasantly, which was a change from yesterday.

"Mum really did you just walk in here without knocking? Imagine what you could have walked in on." She looked down ashamed for just walking in.

"Sorry I just wanted to talk to you and Bella if that's ok?" Emmett nodded his head while we both sat up a bit so we could talk properly and Esme made her way over to sit at the foot of the bed.

"I just wanted to apologise for the way I acted yesterday. I spoke to your father last night and he seems to accept what you two did. I don't condone it but I understand that you two love each other and when love is involved nothing can stop it even a marriage. I just want all of us to be able to get along as a family without any fights. I spoke to Edward last night and he told me not to worry about him, he is fine with you two being together if you decide to be. I'm sorry I was horrible last night Bella and hit you it wasn't like me at all I was just being protective of my children, I'm hoping you can understand that. I'll set up the guest room for you as well, I know making you sleep in the same bed was petty." Emmett pulled his mum into a hug.

"Thank you mum that means so much to me." She patted his back and came over and gave me a hug. I was hesitant to give her one but she seemed so sincere in her apology.

"I'm so sorry Bella"

"It's alright I understand I would do the same if it was Elijah." She smiled at me and then walked out of our room, giving me and Emmett some time together. He grabbed me and pulled me back to laying on the bed.

"So where were we before my mum interrupted?" He bent down and gave me a kiss, I couldn't respond at first. Does this mean he has feelings for me? He pulled back looking at the confusion on my face.

"I'm sorry Bella I just really like you, well actually I more love you then anything, but if you don't feel the same way it's fine we can just be friend and forget the kiss." I silenced him by bringing his lips back to mine. It felt so right kissing him, it felt so much better to when I kissed Edward. Kissing Emmett made my whole body feel like it was on fire, I never had that with Edward. He pulled back when we needed breath but he kept our foreheads touching.

"What does this mean Bella?"

"I don't know I can't explain how I feel for you because it's all so confusing. I've never felt this way but I'm willing to give us a go if you want to?" I said biting my lip not knowing if he would accept.

"I am more than willing to give us a go Bella. I've wanted you to be my girlfriend since you were 14. I loved you for so long but gave you your space to be with Edward. That night with us I meant it when I said I loved you, it wasn't a drunken mistake. I want us to be a proper family me, you and Elijah."

"I want that to Emmett so much. I'm in love with you and it scares me but I don't care because you are more important than being scared." He kissed me again but it was cut short with our son letting us know that he was awake. I got out of bed to get him and laid him in between me and Emmett. He gladly laid there while me and Emmett played with him.

"Bella we can make this work no matter what. I love you and that's all we need." Looking at Emmett I knew it was the truth we would make this work not just for us but for our son to.
