EMMETTS P.O.V

I pulled away from the kiss, and Bella's body felt limp and heavier then it had earlier, even though she wasn't very heavy to begin with. I looked down to see her reaction, but her eyes were closed.

"Bella?" I asked. Nothing. I shook her lightly, but she didn't open her eyes. I felt a trickle of panic-was she dead?-before I realized what had happened. I began to laugh, not being able to stop…I had made her faint! I wasn't worried because I knew this was something she'd done before with Edward; he'd told us about it. It only made her that much more attractive.

BELLAS P.O.V

"... I never understood Edward... until now." Emmett said.

A chill ran down my back. I felt my right arm shake. I could feel my body floating, as if a high. Almost like after one runs a mile non stop, after not doing it in a long time. And it feels like your having a dreaming out of body experience.

I couldn't believe what he had just told me. I didn't move, it's not that I couldn't. It's that I didn't want to, because Emmett was coming closer to me. His cold lips touched mine, parting them slightly, I got hit by his sweet scent. Causing me to feel dizzy, and light headed. I could feel my eyes beginning to slightly roll back. Luckily I was not on my feet.

And then… nothing.

…...

I'm not too sure what happened, because one moment I was feeling what Rosalie did for years. His lips, his cold yet wonderful kiss. And then Emmett laughing without control, waking me from my short slumber with kisse on my forehead.

Blinking several times I looked around, reminding me that we were still deep in the island. I had never imagined that anyone could buy something as big and beautiful as this place. For one person, it had to be as big as Puerto Rico.

"Emmett?" I asked. "What happened? Why are you laughing?"

Emmett chuckled hugging me closer up to him. I had never felt this side of him. So now that he and I have kissed, did this change things? Did he just do it out of the moment? Was he curious? Did he actually have some sort of feelings for me?

OR

Was he just as confused as me?

"You fainted." He was still inches from my face. "Human."

"So what now?" I asked

"What do you mean? He asked.

"I mean… why did you kiss me." I asked.

He smirked and held his forehead on to mine. Letting us stare into each others eyes closer.

"Why didn't you stop me?"

EMMETTS P.O.V

"Why didn't you stop me?" I asked her.

But my attention went out to the far end of the island. I could hear someone coming.

I stood Bella up.

"What's wrong?" she asked

"Someone's coming… quick wipe your lips and forehead with your hand. It will help take your scent instead of mine."

I turned my back to her.

"Who is it?" she asked.

I stood silent, because he was just about to reach the bushes.

"Bella?" Edward asked coming into the moonlight clear.

BELLA'S POV

Edward seemed to magically appear.

"Why are you two so far away?" he asked.

He reached me, then kissed my forehead and hugged me.

"You know how Rosalie gets to me, I wanted to get as far away as I could from her. Everyone else was busy with Rosalie, and Bella was nice enough keep me company. I figured you trusted me enough to keep her safe," answered Emmett.

I could feel my body breaking into a cold sweat, nervous from hoping Edward couldn't sense anything. He didn't. Edward kissed me again.

"Thank you, Bella." I didn't trust myself to speak. I nodded and turned to see Emmett, his back to us.

I began to compare them, as unfair as I realized it was. As Emmett leaned forward, I could see the outlines of his muscles through his shirt, how strong and built he was. Edward walked towards him. Unlike Emmett, Edward held a very slender figure, but was muscular nonetheless. He stopped right at the foot of the rock and patted Emmett's back.

"She's calm now, if you wanted to head back."

"Right," Emmett said sarcastically. I didn't know what to do with myself; should I walk towards them or stay were I was? It seemed like a family conversation, so I decided to just observe. Edward gave a small laugh.

"You know me too well, brother." Edward looked up to me and smiled. I took it as a sign for me to join in, so I walked over to Emmett and crouched down, at eye level with him. He returned the look after tilting his head to see if Edward was watching. I grabbed his hands into mine and smiled.

"She'll come around, Emmett. You're such a great guy. She would be crazy to let you go for what happened. You two have been together for so long," I squeezed my hands and continued to stare at me. I looked up at Edward and let go of Emmett's hands, a cold breeze around me. I hadn't thought it would be so cold at night. Edward noticed as soon as I rubbed my arms to warm them.

"Are you cold?"

"Yeah, I guess I am," I said, crossing my arms together.

"I'd better get you back to the house then." Edward reached out to grab my hand. His hand was cold, and still felt loving with mine. I expected to find some kind of warmth in Edward's hands; oddly enough, I usually did despite his cold skin. But his hands just made me colder. Something was different. I didn't have that feeling in the pit of my stomach, the one I'd just had with Emmett. He looked up at us and nodded.

"Thanks again, Bella. You really made me feel better. You're something else," he said, and there was a double meaning just for Emmett and myself.

"Isn't she?" Edward asked, oblivious, squeezing my hand lightly. "Now you know why I'm crazy about her."
Emmett nodded once more.

"Aren't you coming?" I asked. Emmett shook his head.

"No. I think I'll stay out here a while longer."

"Be at ease, brother," said Edward. He pulled me up and onto his back. I wrapped my arms around him like I had with Emmett, and the difference in their build was obvious under my hold. Just before Edward could fly into his run I called out to Emmett.

"Emmett?" I called out. Edward turned around, so we were both facing Emmett. "If you ever need someone to cheer you up or need some advice, you can always count on me."

I'd chosen my words carefully because Edward was there. Emmett smiled.

"Thank you, Bella. If Edward's okay with it, we should go on a hike sometime. I really do need someone to talk to." Edward nodded.

"Of course, it is." Emmett smiled.

"Sleep well, Bells." I thanked him, before Edward turned and broke into a run back to the house.

"Thank you," said Edward. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"For what?"

"For being amazing. For being there for my family. I think you do us all well."

EMMETT'S P.O.V

I didn't move. I continued to keep my mind a solid state of blackness. I'd felt Edward trying to pry into my thoughts, but he left with no sucess. Even better,he hadn't found anything out of the ordinary with Bella.

I had kissed her...I had kissed Bella Swan. I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face, so big I could feel my teeth touch the top of my bottom lips. I felt so great…because she felt great to me. I had never felt like this, at least not in this life. I couldn't explain it, this sort of happiness and rush of excitement in me. I felt pumped. Was this what all those girls at school referred to as "acting like a little school girl?"

I stood up laughing and climbed the same tree I had bared of its top. I sat down on a branch I knew would hold my weight and looked at the hand that had touched Bella. I brought it to my nose and sniffed it. It brought back the few seconds in which we had shared our kiss.

She hadn't stopped me, which I took to mean she wanted to kiss me too. She actually held some sort of emotion for me.

I looked around the island until I spotted Edward and Bella. I jumped down from the top of the tree, and my fist punched the ground first. I watched as small animals ran away frightened at the small shake. I looked up and zoomed off, vampire speed.

It only took a few seconds before I was kneeling in front of my small cubs. They had been wandering around, searching for somewhere to sleep. I picked one up from under its arms like a child and threw it up in the air.

"Wooooo!" I said, catching the frightened cub. Its sibling on the ground joined in his brother's frightened cries. I put the cub down and laid on the ground before them, and quickly they began attacking my arm. I chuckled, and began playing with them.

"What have you two been up to?" The cubs continued to wrestle with my arm. "Were you two ready to go to sleep?" I asked, as if they would answer me. They seemed to have become bored of my hand, and had begun to wrestle with each other.

I sat up on my knees. Before me was a rock, I was sure this would be good enough for them. I punched the rock with force, creating a hole, and slammed my fist through until the hole was big enough for them to walk into. Kneeling back, I admired my work.

"Well, guys, what do you think?" The cubs curiously walked towards it. They sniffed around to make sure it was safe, then cautiously entered.

BELLA'S P.O.V

After having said good night to Carlisle and Esme, Edward was letting me have my human moment.

I stepped into the shower and let the water hit me again. I closed my eyes and could see Emmett's face. I touched my lips, and smiled. I couldn't believe I kissed Emmett. Then my mind started wandering, what if Emmett and I… no.. who was I kidding, it was just a kiss. It couldn't lead to sex. If Edward was scared of killing me, then surely Emmett would think so as well. Either way, the thought excited me. I let my hand travel down my breasts to my stomach. I continued to run my hand down to my left leg. I ran my hand up and down.

"Bella?"

I opened my eyes as I heard Edward calling for me from the door.

"Yes?" I asked

"Can.. can I come in?" Edward asked

"Yes." I said turning off the water. I grabbed my hair into a bundle and squeezed some of the water out.

I grabbed the towel I had placed on the sink, next to the shower and wrapped it around myself. As Edward walked in he smiled. He came to me and kissed me.

"Whats up?" I asked him

"I was thinking about it… and I think your right. It's time." He said

I was confused at first, then I realized what he was talking about.

"…Really?" I asked

"Yes." Said Edward kissing me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and our kiss continued. As we both moved together in our kiss, out the bathroom and towards the bed. My towel fell to the ground, the cool air, and the touch of his skin on my bare skin made my nipples harden. A thrill ran through out my body, to between my legs.

Edward pushed me to the bed. He got over me and continued our kiss. My heart began beating fast. I completely forgot about Emmett. I wanted to do this. I began pulling at Edwards shirt he was wearing. He let me pull it over his head. I ran my hands down his back. Something hard was rubbing against my leg. I felt as Edward moved his mouth to my neck, he ran his tongue up my neck, giving my goose bumps. I became more excited.

This was the moment I had been waiting for...
