Sorry that it's taken a few days. I've just been busy on dates and cheer. Here though is my favorite chapter by far. I'm not sure why but it just stands out to me.

Notes: Just so you know, Emmett eventually told Bella between the boat scene and this scene that it was pancreatic cancer. This is the middle of their conversation with Alice and Jasper.

Also...

I still need a Beta!! Please pm me if you are interested...please!

"Bella, did he make you cry?" Alice asked in a false reprimanding tone. I simply shook my head, not giving a real answer. Emmett, who sat with his arm around my shoulders, giggled and looked at me.

"Only a little bit." Alice, Jasper and I laughed along with him. I just nuzzled my head into his shoulder and smiled at his scent.

Alice's face seemed to soften up and then she took Jasper's hand.

"So, I'm guessing you guys both exchanged your big news?" Jasper seemed to study our faces and reactions, he was studying to become a psychiatrist.

Emmett grabbed for my hand and I stopped the tears and sad emotions building within me. He shook our hands as if to let me know that its okay for now. But like I said, for now. Then, he looked up and spoke.

"I'm so happy to be a father, it makes me feel as though now I have a real purpose to live, and another family to go in order to get away from this little pixie!" We laughed but something didn't feel right to me.

I felt as if this was almost like a tease. He's dying, of pancreatic cancer, so I'll only be able to have him for so long. My children, whom have never had a father, will finally have one and then he will disappear. This wouldn't work. Emmett just weaves through my life. He shows up, he leaves, he shows up, he leaves. What am I going to do when there is no way for him to come back? But...

That voice inside my head was telling me, its okay to let him in. He needs you and your children now more than ever. It would be better to have him in your life for however long now then to never have him again, and we all know how much that nearly killed me. Also, kicking him out of your life would be very selfish towards your self and not thinking about KC and Kris. Even if it hurts you so see him go through so much pain and suffering, it'll be worth it, because you were there right by him as the mother to his children and the love of his life.

Subconsciously I squeezed his hand and out of habit bit my lip at the mention of his big news. I couldn't take it. That news hurt me as if I were always hearing it for the first time. I snapped out of my daze and put small smile on my face. Jasper stood up with Alice, Emmett and I followed.

"May I dance with my lovely sister?" Jasper asked as he extended his right hand to me and slightly bowing his head.

"Only if I may dance with mine." Emmett stated. More small giggles were exchanged as we each partnered with our siblings. I leaned my head on Jasper's shoulder and just sighed. Tonight had become very exhausting very fast. Jasper swayed slowly and kissed my hair, I had left my hat at the table, and his soft humming to the music calmed me down. He always had this effect.

"I'm so happy for you Jasper. Alice is the sweetest and greatest girl I've ever met. Oh, and thank you for making her part of my family." I smiled as I whispered to him.

"And I am also happy for you Bella, you not only managed to raise two children in secret and reveal them to their father but you also managed to admit your love for him! Wow baby sister, your strong at heart." Jasper said. Though it sounded weird and outrageous, it was all true.

"I couldn't have done it with out you, Alice or Edward."

"Speaking of Edward..." Jasper said and slowly turned us in the direction to see Edward dancing with a beautiful blonde looking extremely happy. I whistled in his direction and then Jasper turned us swiftly out of Edward's view. We both laughed and smiled. As the song changed Emmett came over and switched partners with Jasper.

Emmett's hand went to the small of my back in order to support me towards his height. I reached my hand over his shoulder while my other was in his strong grasp.

At Last,

My love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song...

Etta filled the room with her beautiful voice. This song meant so much more now that Emmett was here, in my arms right now. I'm pretty sure it meant the same to him, or along the same lines.

"Bella," he spoke as if he was saddened suddenly. "We've been attempting to avoid this the whole night, but the reason we came back to Chicago was for cancer treatments." I buried my face in his suit and shut my eyes tightly as if it were just a bad dream. He's not dying, he's not dying! I subconsciously yelled at my self only living in regret. His hand lifted my chin to look at him slightly.

"But really Bella, I wanted to see you. Even if I do die soon, I would die happy knowing that you are alive and happy. So, I hope you are by my side through every treatment, surgery, hospital visit, round of chemo and the inevitable end. Not only do I want you by my side, I want you there as my love and as the mother of my children."

I nodded slightly at him with watery eyes. He smirked as he let my chin fall to his chin. I still looked at him though.

"Speaking of them, the second we get off this boat, we are going to go to your place and I'm going to see my son and daughter."

I found a dream

That I could Speak to

A dream that I can call my own.

I think we danced for the rest of the night and didn't really speak anymore of the troubles ahead. At the end of the night, Jasper informed me he and Alice would spend the night at a hotel to "celebrate" their engagement. Edward was leaving to the airport for a business trip immediately to fly red eye to New York, but not before introducing us to Rosalie Hale. This meant that Emmett and I had the place to ourselves...and our twins.

I took off my heels, which were murdering my feet, and unlocked the front door to our old three story firehouse. As I opened the door to step in, Emmett whisked me off my feet and carried me to the living room. We found Jane fast asleep under a blanket in the living room.

Jane lived next door, where Emmett, Alice and their parents used to live ,so I would walk her over as we had usually done before.

When she was safe inside her home I entered my house again. I couldn't find Emmett though. AS I searched the place I couldn't find him in the living room, kitchen or bathrooms. I even checked Jasper's, Edward's, Mine and the guest bedrooms. It wasn't until I saw the soft crack of light from the twins room that I contently sighed and a goofy smile crossed my face. My body leaned against the door frame as I saw Emmett holding the two of them in the rocking chair. A soft chuckle escaped my lips. I was extremely happy and overwhelmed with the sight in front of me. This was almost like a dream.

Here was Emmett, in the twin's room and softly cradling them. When I thought I couldn't cry any more, a tear and sniffle left my eyes. He looked up towards me and I walked over. There went that giggle again. These children weren't babies any more, they were actually about to turn two in about two months.

"I couldn't help it, they are my children and even if I wake them up, it'll be the first time I hear a peep out of them!" He whispered. I smiled and held up my finger signaling him not to move, like he would anyway, because I had a great idea.

Why can't I find my damn camera!? I searched everywhere in my room and the kitchen. After about ten minutes of searching I found it in my clutch. Oh Bella, why don't you ever check the obvious? I sneaked to my room quickly and put on a large tee shirt and my boy shorts. I went into Edward's room and grabbed a pair of sweats for Emmett. With the sweats and my camera in hand, I quietly and quickly made it to the twin's room. Surprisingly, I didn't trip.

As I peeked into the room with my head, in the corner, Emmett was softly dozing with the twins in either arm. I laid the sweats over the railing of one of the bed rails and focused my camera. The ceiling lights did he though.

When I was pregnant, Edward and Jasper had light technicians come in and install little lights to flicker like stars and painted around it like the night sky. Also, all the mounted night lights on the wall and in the outlets created the perfect glow for the picture. I snapped the picture and admired it for a second until I heard Kris slightly wake up. In a swift movement, I picked her up and Emmett woke up. As I pulled her out of his grasp softly Emmett grabbed my wrist and pulled me forward. His lips pressed to mine. I pecked him back and then picked up Kris again as she started to fidget. When she wakes up, KC wakes up and it is impossible to put them back to sleep.

I laid her in her bed with safety rails and kissed her forehead while softly brushing her hair with my fingers. Emmett's presence was felt behind me and I stood up. He laid Kellan into his railed bed and kissed his forehead good night. As I kissed Kellan good night, Emmet quickly changed behind me into Edward's sweats and his white under tank top. I took off my shirt to reveal my white spaghetti strapped tank. My soft smile returned to my face as Emmett kissed Kristen's head good night. I closed my eyes for a second praying this dream could never end. My hopes were interrupted by Emmett grabbing my waist and pulling me down to relax in the rocking chair with him as we listened to or children sleep and breath. My ear pressed against his chest and I could hear his heart beat.

Softly, I placed my palm there to feel it. He placed his hand over my hand and brought it to his lips to kiss. Within moments I fell asleep and was followed by Emmett.

For you are mine

At Last...

This is not the end, though it is the end of that really long night! So relax!

There is definitely a lot more to come.

Anyway...

Constructive Criticism Please!

This is my first story so I'm always looking for ways to improve.

Reviews are very Welcomed!
