I drove in my new car towards Navy Pier and spotted the ship decorated in lights with swing music surrounding the air. This was going to be a tough night, Bella the love of my life was going to be here and probably in the arms of another man. I had to do it though, she has to know about my past.
My feet brought me onto the boat, but I didn't go straight ahead to the party. Instead, I hid out in a small dark hallway. It had to be about twenty minutes until I heard the DJ calling everyone to sit down for dinner. I placed my dark sunglasses on and stuck my hands in my pockets. Here goes nothing. As soon as I entered the room the all too familiar squeal of my little sister filled the room. Alice jumped up and hugged me as I gave her a kiss on the cheek she whispered in my ear.
"Don't ruin it with Bella!" I can't ruin anything with the love of my life.
She grasped my wrist and dragged me towards her table. People were giving me weird looks. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her. She looked magnificent, and she was here with out anyone. I greeted Edward who mostly stared me down. Jasper did the same but then a smile warmed his face. My father gave me a simple nod of his head and my mother blew me a kiss. As I saw her, my heart stopped. She looked up at me through her long beautiful eyelashes as if she were embarrassed to speak to me.
"Bella?" Oh how I have longed to say her name like that and how I wish I could say it over and over until there was only her and I. Then I saw it, that all too familiar pink blush crawl upon her cheeks as she looked me in the eyes slightly.
"Hello..." The hesitation in her voice scared me. Bella, my love, didn't remember me Emmett Cullen! This was going to be a long night. She has to remember me somehow.
During dinner, she did not speak a word nor did anyone else about her. It was almost as if she were ghost. I talked about my college career and how I had been majoring in business. Jasper even joked about receiving season tickets. I laughed it off with everyone, but this deep yearning in my heart kept calling for Bella who wouldn't even look at me.
Dinner came to an end. Jasper and Alice first took the floor, followed by my parents and then other couples. As I thought about taking Bella up, I looked towards her seat and she was gone, already dancing with her brother Edward. I sighed and thought how this was going to work. We still had five more hours on the boat. The dancing came to a halt when Jasper proposed to my sister in the middle of the dance floor. I took that opportunity to steal Bella away while she stood on the side.
"Edward let me go!" She fought against me.
"It's not Edward." I said in a tone sounding a little to harsh, but she seemed to follow.
I took her to the hallway where I was previously wallowing in my confusion and pain. My body pinned hers to the wall with my hands on either side of her face. Bella's beautiful lips came apart as if she wanted to say something. I wouldn't let her, instead I kissed her with my three years of repressed passion for her. I was so surprised when she gave into the kiss. She remembers me! This was my Bella, nothing changed except that I was back now. But does she love me? Does Bella still love me? I think she does. All of a sudden, she pulled back. I looked at her while her eyes were still closed. She did that sexy movement of looking from under her eye lashes and biting her lip.
"Emmett we need to talk-" I didn't want to talk. I wanted to kiss her as if tomorrow the world was going to end, because in this moment it was only us. I pecked her lips slowly.
"Not now Bella, I've been far away from you for far to long. Just tell me the one thing I want to hear. Please?" I asked knowing that Bella would give into me.
"I love you so much Emmett Cullen!" She said it! She meant it! Isabella Still Loves Me!!! How my heart leapt and how my passion deepened. Bella loves me and yet, I am trying to procrastinate on telling her the most important thing I came to tell her. How could I tell her that I'm possibly dying? My feelings overwhelmed me and two tears fell from my eyes and onto her cheek. Bella's soft hand seemed to caress both our faces and then wiped my tears away. Her slim finger came between our lips to stop us from kissing.
"Emmett listen to me. If I don't tell you this now it could ruin us forever." She spoke in a shaky voice as small tears formed and spilled at the corner of her eyes. Bella seemed so confused and flustered to speak that she chose her ultimatum and reached in her small clutch for something. A photo was given to me of Alice's godchildren. I remember when I found this photo in Alice's room.
"Em, can you get my homework, its on my desk near my computer. I need it really bad!" Alice asked. She had been tired after coming back from her three month trip to Chicago. I entered her room and found her desk. A photo stack caught me off guard. There was a recent picture of Bella. She seemed curvy. I slid that in my jean pocket. Though the picture announcement under caught me off guard. It read:
Welcome to this earth Kristen Renee and Kellen Charles. Born August 20, 2007.
That was while Alice was out there. The babies were cute...I guess. Kellen had an awesome first name...only because that's my middle name. Out of curiosity I picked up the photo, I felt so attached to it for some reason
"EMMETT!!" Alice called from the kitchen. In a rush I grabbed the first stack of papers on her desk and ran with the picture in hand.
As I entered the kitchen Alice grabbed the papers from my hand. She started to chat away about some teacher at her school. I wasn't paying attention. Instead, I was so intrigued with the picture of these babies. To me, all new babies looked the same. But these babies, their noses looked like small buttons and Kellan's eyes seemed big. His lips seemed all to familiar to me. I chuckled slightly at the sight of his hand, maybe he moved a lot. For some reason I had this weird inner hope for him to play sports. Kristen on the other hand seemed like a shy little one. But her shyness gave her an adorable smile.
"Em! What are you doing with this picture?" Alice said as she took the baby announcement from my hand. I just shrugged.
"How do you know these kids?" I asked nonchalantly. A sudden flash of fear washed over Ali's face. For the first time in my life I heard her stutter.
"Th-th-they're my godchildren. A good friend of mine had twins. Do you have a problem with that?" Boy, Ali had been acting weird. I just shook my head and mumbled nonsenses under my breath while walking away.
"Bella...." I asked after sudden
confusion came over me. " What do Alice's godchildren have to do
with this?" She looked me in my eyes as if she were searching for
something. Her hand softly caressed my face.
"Emmett, those are your children..." She spoke. I couldn't comprehend what she said. How could she lie to me like this. We never did...wait...oh no.
"Bella? Why? How?" My voice grew louder as I shook the picture.
"You know how. The night before you left we made love and we made your children...our children." She cried against his chest. I gently pushed her against the wall and walked away.
"Bella, I have to go..."
How could she tell me this? It couldn't be now. I can't have this happening to me. Why didn't I just tell her.
I walked into my father's office today. It was another gloomy day in Forks. Though, this day could get worse depending on the news my father gave me today. I had been feeling pain for the longest time in my side.
At first I thought it was just ulcer pains, but now I guess it developed into something worse.
My mom sat next to me and held my hand. She had a few tears running down her face. Moments later, my father walked into the room.
"Emmett, just so you know I haven't looked at the results yet. But, they are sketchy. Nothing is for sure."
He opened the folder and I saw scans of my inner abdomen. He circled some objects that seemed unsure. Then he turned to the next page. It was my blood work. My father looked over a few things then wrote down some notes. Then, my dad gave my mother a look and came over. He took my hand and said those words that brought me down.
"Emmett," then my father looked me in the eyes. "You have developed stage two pancreatic cancer."
So now they both have life choices.
Remember this is fiction so obviously not a lot of people (from my knowledge) get pancreatic cancer at a young age.
Anyway Review Please, I love them!!
