Chapter Five: Return and Reunion (Selene and Edward's POV)

(Edward's POV)

I sighed as I watched Selene's mind reel through the first time she had seen Emmett. Amazing how I had never seen the bond she felt with him. Her pain at Rose having her soul mate must not have been made any better with me being gone. How could I not have seen how much I had hurt Selene by not being there that day and for six years after. She had needed me, but I was off being an idiot.

Neither Emmett nor Selene had noticed me in the trees yet. They were too caught up in their own world. They deserved happiness. Rosalie wasn't the easiest person to live with, especially if you really only loved her as a sister. And Cornel had been a great guy, but not exactly what Sel needed.

Normally, I'm really protective of Selene's emotions also. But with Emmett, I could tell from the adoration radiating from his thoughts that he would never hurt the beauty in his arms. Their personalities were so similar along with their interests. Watching them lye on the ground together, I could also tell that they fit together physically as well.

My sister's thoughts completely surrounded the bear she held, but after a few minutes, she snapped back into reality.

(Selene's POV)

I was too lost in my moment of complete bliss to realize Em and I were being watched. My thoughts shot back to the real world, and then I was aware of the thoughts emanating from the tree line.

I'm home Sel. Sorry to… uh… disturb you.

Edward. My best friend; my brother; was home! Finally! Now my existence would be complete. I had my soul mate securely in my arms and my family was back together. I kissed Emmett again, with even more enthusiasm and then pulled him to his feet. I whispered in his ear, "Eddy's back."

That's when he caught our brother's scent. He sprinted to him while blocking his thoughts as best he could and tackled Edward. I wasn't sure whether he was going to slug Edward or hug him. I just watched. If Emmett did hit him, I would let one punch go, then I would interfere. But it turned out, all my bear wanted to do was smack my brother's arm and hug him. Once I was sure I wouldn't have to break up a fight, I pulled Emmett off, pulled Edward up, and then tackled him right back to the ground.

"I'm so glad you're back! Home has been hell!" I hugged him tightly. After a minute I let go and helped him up. Edward dusted himself off and we all took off towards home.

*********

As soon as we were through the door, the whole family was rushing Edward. Alice slammed him in the back and refused to let go for others to hug him. Jasper gave a brief embrace and welcomed him home, as did Carlisle. Rosalie slammed Edward once on the arm and again, a little bit more softly, on the face before hugging him. I hissed a warning at her, but Edward's look stopped it in my throat.

I do deserve it Selene. I should have given more notice, or just stayed home from school instead of leaving. But it was so hard not to think about hunting her while she was only a few miles away.

I nodded in understanding, but still shot a quick, murderous glare at my blonde sister. Esme was scolding Edward now; she hugged him again and again in between scolds.

"You will never leave me with only your sister's explanation again." Hug. "You are to talk to me before any more trips that have nothing to do with hunting." Hug. "Am I understood?" Hug.

Though Esme was definitely my mother figure, you would never guess she could be so scary as when she is scolding us for something. Scary, and almost humorous. Edward smirked a little at my thoughts, nodded and replied to Esme.

"Yes Mom. I understand completely and I'm sorry."

"We're all just glad you're home again," I told him. He had been hit enough, so I didn't think he needed any more mental beatings. Rose had been trying to decide whether to hit him a few more times the whole time she had been hugging him.

Emmett put his arms around my waist from behind and buried his face in my hair and kissed it. Edward was the only one who noticed this gesture before it was gone. We weren't ready to tell everybody yet. Edward winked at me. Alice caught that motion and spun a little to face me.

You best not tell anyone yet, Tiny. We'll get to it tonight.

She nodded. And turned back to the rest of the family. Thank goodness Jasper was too busy trying to relax everyone's excitement to notice the feeling of love radiating from Em and myself. Or maybe he just took it for happiness that my favorite brother was home. I couldn't tell. His thoughts were too jumbled up to pull any one thought forward.
