Chapter Twenty-Six

Emmett threw a snowball at Alice when she wasn't paying attention and it knocked her off her feet. He found himself being tackled by Jasper and the two started to wrestle.

"Oh!" Alice said suddenly, happily as she pushed herself up from the ground. "I didn't see THAT coming!" Her phone started to beep and she took it out. It was a text from Edward that told her not to say a word yet. Alice pouted and after successfully kicking Emmett's butt, Jasper hurried over to her.

"Whatever you saw must be good. What was it?" He asked, curiously as he started to examine her head from where Emmett hit her with the snowball. Alice laughed and swatted his hand away.

"I'm fine, Jazz. And I can't tell." She pouted. "But we'll find out soon enough. Maybe even tonight!" She jumped up and kissed him before leading him off to hunt to get her mind off of wanting to blabber the news.

Emmett went to Esme and waited until she was done fixing up Bella's dinner. Glancing around Esme took a taste of the glaze and made a face. Still tasted awful to her, but she knew it would be wonderful since it smelled actually nice. Emmett popped up around the corner.

"Mom," He said, his voice full of pain. He was holding an arm. "Jasper ripped my arm off and took off with Alice." Esme dropped the spoon and gasped. She took Emmett over and sat him down at a chair and placed his arm in his lap.

"I'll call your father." Esme said and took out her cell. She dialed Carlisle's number and waited for him to pick up. It was after the third ring did he answer. Esme was stroking Emmett's hair comfortingly and thinking of punishments for Jasper. Removing of limbs is strictly forbidden. Emmett was trembling. Esme explained things to Carlisle and hung up.

"Don't worry, sweetheart, he's on his way home."

"Rosie…" He murmured and Rosalie was by his side in an instant, comforting him with promises of revenge. He laid his head on her shoulder.

Carlisle sighed and couldn't help but feel sorry for his burly, carefree son. It was always a painful thing to have a limb removed and even more painful and embarrassing to have it reattached. It was a good thing he didn't have to do this often, but he couldn't help but wonder what Emmett did to deserve getting his arm ripped off.

He took care of the necessary business in going home early after being called. He apologized and stated that there was a family emergency that required him. This Christmas was turning out to be a headache, but at least he got some things done at the hospital in the short four hours he was there. Carlisle walked towards his office.

Just as he was finished with his measly snack guilt started to settle in. He felt horrible for ripping Emmett's arm off and just leaving him there in pain. He glanced at Alice who was finishing her snack, a bobcat. He glanced over at her as she wiped the fur from her mouth.

"Alice? I think we should head home. I sort of did rip Emmett's arm off." Jasper said sorrowfully. He did feel guilty. Alice went over to him and took his face in her hands. She kissed him lightly.

"Jazz, sweetheart, you can't keep flying off the handle each time something happens to me. It was a snowball, it didn't do anything and Emmett is fine. However, Carlisle is on his way home and he's not happy." Jasper's hands went to his bottom instinctively.

"This isn't your best Christmas, darling." Alice tried to comfort him, "But it'll get better after everything is settled. We still have presents and I have a special gift for you tonight." She took his hand and walked back towards home. Jasper never dealt well with punishment and he already received a swatting and had a feeling he'd receive another.

"Alice…" He was hesitant and really didn't want to know, but at the same time he did. "Is Carlisle going to…?" Alice squeezed his hand gently and nodded. Jasper groaned.

"Edward…" Bella breathed.

"Yes love?" He was eager to know the answer of his proposal. The very long silence was killing him.

"Of course," She said softly, barely breathing, "Of course I'll marry you." She kissed him passionately.

Carlisle walked in the office just then and smiled at them. "At least some couples are having a good Christmas." He commented. Edward and Bella exchanged glances. "We have to head home; there's been a little problem." Edward groaned. The good mood ruined suddenly.

Oh well. He thought. She said yes. She said yes. YES! He was suddenly giddy again. Bella had said yes.

To Be Continued.

Endnotes: Happy she said yes? I was going to have her say no just to tease you and Edward. This chapter is short since I'm still recovering from my evil cold. Please review!
