Hello, Its Me (obviously.)
Anyway just some notes: Emmett's been in the hospital for two days. Everyone has visited him. If you didn't catch it, Esme is a doctor too. The kids don't know that Emmett's their dad yet. And you guys get your wish almost. (No not about Emmett dying or not, but another thing) So read on!

When my father came in to let me leave, the question came up of where would I go. Of course, I could move back with my parents into their big house with Alice, or I could go and cramp in with Bella, Edward and Jasper. It wouldn't be cramping really, its just that I wanted to stay with my family. Together, I could live with Bella, Kellan and Kristen. The twin's birthday was coming up soon so I needed to be there for that. It would be to tough to drive forty-five minutes everyday if I moved in with my parents. Bella wasn't in the room when this came up. A look of confliction crossed my face as I argued with my self internally. My parents seemed to be talking in a corner every once in a while looking at me.
"Emmett," My father started to speak. "We were going to wait one more year to give you your graduation present for college, but your mother and I have decided to give you our house-"
"What!" I freaked out this had to be some sort of joke. Of course we had only been in there for about three weeks, this was crazy.
"Em calm down. Your mother and I have known about Kellan and Kristen for a while and we've just been waiting to see how you would react. Together, we've been supporting Bella since the twins were born."
How could my parents do this to me. They've known about my children and now they want to give me their house. This has to be some crazy dream or I must be on something very strong. Not that I was angry, I was just confused.
"Son," My mother spoke in a calming matter. "We have to do this for you and your family. You need to be together under one roof. Haven't you noticed, your father and I have barely unpacked. We have a small cottage set up closer to town for us. The only thing you need to worry about is getting Bella in the house." She chuckled slightly. "Emmett, please take the house. Not only for you, but for your family." How could I deny my mother anything? This was for the best of all of us. I nodded my head at her and both my parents relaxed while they intertwined their fingers.
"Hello?" Bella's voice called. She had Kristen in her arms and Kellan holding her hand as she walked in. When Kellan saw me, he rushed towards the bed and jumped on.
"Hey KC!" I welcomed him into a hug.
"Your okay Emmett!" He said as he wrapped his arms around my neck and hugged me. "Come to my home please Emmett?" Kellan asked me.
"KC, let him rest. He's going to back to his house." Bella said in a parental tone.
"No, he's okay Bella! Besides that whole my home thing, we have to talk about. How about over dinner tonight with my parents?" I said looking towards their direction. My mother was holding a sleeping Kristen, but nodded along with my father. Bella's face seemed confused for a second but then she seemed okay.
"Sure. Just call me where to meet you guys. We just came to say hi before you left." She said. "KC, say goodbye to Nana Esme." Bella said as she picked up Kellan and placed him on the floor. I grabbed her waist and pulled her down. She kissed me softly since we were in front of my parents and our children. Her small blush filled her cheeks and I smiled. Bella then said goodbye to my parents. She walked out the door. The way her hips swayed in her tight jeans almost made me crazy. Until my father coughed making me realize they were still in the room.
"Is there anything you would like to talk about Emmett? Anything at all?" He asked, it was almost as if my father was inside my head.
"Ugh yeah. You see, I know it's only been about two days, but if I die from this...this...disease. I need to at least die a happy man. So, I would like to know if it's okay if I propose to Bella tomorrow? I mean, you guys are like her parents too. I'll even ask Jasper and Edward tonight. It's just that I want to make it official not just for me or her but for Kellan and Kristen. And, Grandma Elizabeth gave me her engagement ring before she passed away, so I'm prepared, I just want to make sure its alright with you?" I hope that droning made sense to them. Of course my mother's smile grew wide and tears filled her eyes when I said the word propose. So she must be alright with it.
"Of course son, we understand. I can see your mother's already excited about it. But I am too." He spoke. "Now lets get you out of here." My father said and shook my hand before he walked out of the room. My mother then wrapped her arms around me and held me up.
"Oh Emmett, I'm so happy for you. This is so great!" She spoke.
"Thank you mom, I think I even have the scenario picked out, it just won't be tonight. But you all will be there, I promise."
A few hours had passed since I left the hospital. My parents, Bella, Edward, Jasper, Alice, the twins and I were going out for dinner. Tonight I would break the news about the house to Bella. Though, she was excited because we would meet Edward's girlfriend too. The restaurant we were going to was a famous Italian restaurant. We had reservations for eight, well plus the twins. I waited downstairs for my parents and Alice. My mother looked beautiful in her dress, my father made sure his tie matched her outfit. Alice then came down in a short but elegant blue number. She made sure to wear jewelry that accented her engagement ring.
Speaking of engagement rings, I held my grandmother's in my pocket. Even though it wouldn't be tonight, I still wanted to have it on me.
"Are you ready?" Alice asked me.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I said as I really took a good look around the house.
"We'll be in the car waiting for you son." My mother said as her hand touched my shoulder. When I heard the door close, I stuck my other hand in my suit pocket. Alice had picked out my outfit and I was thankful for that. She said she also coordinated Bella's outfit over the phone.
I took a good look around the house. Where I stood right now would be where history would be made. Slowly I got down on my knee and pulled the ring out of my pocket.
"Isabella Swan, my best friend, mother to my children and love of my life, will you marry me?" In my head I toyed with different ways to ask, but this seemed the right place.
I drove the car to the restaurant. My father checked in for us. The waiter led us to our table, even while flirting with my sister. I looked down at my watch to check the time when I heard my name being called and two small arms wrap around my side. I looked down to see my daughter in a beautiful purple dress followed by her brother in a dark purple button down shirt and black pants.
"Hey you guys."
"Emmett your okay!" Kristen said.
"You guys look wonderful." I said kissing them on the forehead.
"No you do." Kellan said.
"Okay you guys, I want to say hi to Emmett too." Bella's sexy voice came from behind me. I stood up to greet her. She wore a purple dress that accentuated her curves in a very modest way. I see now why my purple tie matched her dress and the children's outfits. We looked like a family. My hands took a firm grip of her waist and I pulled her to me. She growled against my lips. Very sexy indeed. I kissed her and growled back. Bella kept trying to pull away, but I didn't want to stop. It was then that I heard my father cough along with a few others that I realized we had to stop. Bella looked down and fixed her dress while her blush crawled upon her cheeks. I greeted Jasper, Edward and Rosalie, Edward's girlfriend. She seemed nice and his type. He always went for the intelligent pageant queen. We sat down at the table. I sat next to Bella. Kristen sat on the other side of her while Kellan sat on the other side of me. My father sat at one head of the table while Jasper sat at the other. On the other side, Alice sat on the corner next to Jasper, she then sat next to Edward who sat beside Rosalie and then my mother. We were all together as a family of sorts for the first time in a while.
Dinner was full of discussions about how Edward and Rosalie met. When the subject moved to Jasper and Alice. She seemed ready to explode, as usual.
"So everyone, I know its been only about a month since we've been back but I just found out some great news yesterday. It all started before we rushed to Bella and Jasper's place. We were on our way anyway to tell her and Emmett some great news..." Alice had been looking between Jasper and her dessert the entire time then she looked up. "But, I'm pregnant."
My mother almost screamed when she rushed over towards Alice and Jasper to hug them. Toasts were made in honor of them.
"I'm guessing we're looking at a late summer wedding?" Bella questioned, it was only June.
"I'm not sure actually, but I want to be showing and have that mommy glow!" Alice sprung up and gave Bella a hug.
"Well you can practice anytime with these two, please." Bella stated sarcastically. Alice knew Bella and this was definitely a big congratulations from Bella.
"I have some thing big too." I stated and then turned to Bella. My father passed me the wrapped necklace box with a bow on it. Bella already grasped her chest with her hands and a look of awe spread amongst her features.
Slowly I pushed the chair out and knelt on my knee. As I opened the box there was the house key around a white gold necklace chain.
"Isabella Swan, I want to provide our family with a home together. All four of us can live in this wonderful house together as a real family. So Bella, will you move in with me?" She laughed and then took my face between her hands.
"Of course Emmett Cullen, We will."
Everyone clapped and I kissed Bella and then the twins. She had tears in her eyes. This confused me.
"Bella you don't have to if you don't want to, please don't cry."
"No Emmett," She shook her head and a smile brought the corners of her red lips up. "these are happy tears because I want to move in with you."
"Well good, its all furnished and ready, we could go visit tomorrow, I promise." She just nodded her face between my hands.
"My make-up is running, I have to go powder up okay? I love you." Bella spoke and then walked to the ladie's room with the twins, Alice and Rosalie. I looked at Jasper and Edward. They seemed happy so I guess now was the time.
"Edward, Jasper, can I ask you something important?"
"Sure dude, shoot." Edward said.
"Well you know that I may not have much time left on this earth, and I want to make the most of it. I love Bella and the twins. I've always loved her. Ever since I was fifteen you know. And now the moment she told me I had children with her, my love grew infinitely more. Normally I would ask your parents, but you guys have bassically raised Bella since you were ten. I just want to know can I take Bella's hand in marriage?" please don't kill me, please don't kill me...
"Of course man. We love you like a brother." Edward said.
"Just keep her and the kids happy and cared for. We definitely give you our family blessing Em. You really are like are brother."
"Cool dudes, thank you so much. I'm going to do it tomorrow after I give Bella a tour of our home, so be there around two and hide near the front foyer, just try not to be seen. Okay?"
"You got it man!" They both said at the same time. The twin thing.
Tomorrow would be the most nerve-wrecking day of my life.
So thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.
