So I have to apologize. My computer is doing this weird thing where it shuts off and restarts randomly. It would be a pain to write and then wait for the computer to restart every three minutes just to only hope to upload it and such. So I'm writing on the family computer, so I'm going to start publishing once a week maybe twice. So please be patient. Also I realized my chapters are really short, so I'm also going to start writing more lengthy chapters.

I was trying to sleep in but there was so much noise going on outside. Bella was out with Alice and the twins so it was just me and TJ, who was sound asleep. How did that kid do it?
All I heard was beeping and loud booming noises. Maybe someone was doing construction, but why would they work on their house in the middle of winter? I sat up and picked up my baby boy. He even had a cute little snore, just like his mommy. I put a little bounce in my step as if to keep lulling Taylor to sleep, though he was out cold. We made our way to Bella's study which looked over the driveway and saw into the next house. Apparently we had new neighbors who decided to move in at nine in the morning.
Taylor started to slowly wake up as we made our way downstairs. Bella had left breakfast for us and the newspaper on the counter. This woman was too good to me. After warming up the waffles and coffee, I gave TJ his formula and we showered together. He likes it when I sing, or he thinks its hilarious because he smiled and cracked up. As soon as we dried off I used some gel and put his hair in a faux-hawk. We put on matching long sleeved shirts and were on our way out to the garage. I started the car, put on his kid's cd and was pulling out of our driveway when I felt something hit the back of the Jeep. It wasn't horrible but TJ was startled and started crying. I got out of the car to see a man, about my age, apologizing profusely.
"I'm so sorry man, I didn't see you. I got this please just let's not call the cops." I controlled my anger for the sake of my son.
"It's okay, I mean it's not okay but don't worry I won't call the cops let's just get each other's insurance info and we'll be on our way"
"Thanks Man. I'm sorry it's just my first day in the neighborhood, I should have seen where I was going."
"Look it's okay let's just get this over with. And welcome to the neighborhood." I swear if he apologizes one more time, I'm going to bust his mouth. I already have a headache from all the moving noises going on. "I'm Emmett by the way..."
"Liam" He shook my hand and made an excuse to go. I don't think he recognized me. Maybe he doesn't watch sports. If he didn't recognize me by looking at me at least my name should trigger some hints. What is up? Everyone knows me. Don't they?
I left and carried Taylor into the garage and just took the BMW for the day. Yeah we had three cars, but that was my parents way of giving us a garage-warming. They spoiled us so much...but neither Bella nor I let it get to our heads.
"Hey sleepyhead, what's up?"
"Well apparently we have a new neighbor who doesn't like football"
"Huh?" She sounded very confused.
"Well T and I were in the Jeep backing out of the driveway and some car hit us and-"
"WAIT! Someone hit you guys? And I'm hearing about this now? Is TJ okay? Are you okay?"
"Bella, please calm down. We're alright. I'll take him to get checked out if you want. But of all things he didn't recognize me! I'm Emmett freaking Cullen! Who doesn't know me?"
"Baby, not everyone watches football." She giggled slightly, but how could she laugh at a time like this.
"But I'm local news! He has to know who I am!"
"So I see not only was your Jeep damaged but so was your ego...nice." She didn't sound very happy. Maybe she was finally understanding what a big deal this is.
"Yeah now you're getting it."
"Em, just get Taylor to the doctor's office and I'll talk to you later. Bye" Bella hung up on me mad. She just had terrible mood swings. Maybe she's pregnant again?
T and I went to the doctor and he was completely fine, but he could put on a few more pounds. It's okay we already missed half of practice, might as well get some lunch.
Bella
"He has the nerve to worry more about if this guy knows him than if our child is safe or the fact that his car was hit!"I threw my head into my hands as Alice shook her head disapprovingly while feeding Ashley. KC and Kris were playing in the playground unaware of their father's hurt ego. I always liked that he was a little bit cocky and was very proud but never would I think that his ego would get in the way of his and his child's safety. Why?
"Well that's Emmett for you. At the top of his game and everything just goes to his head like helium into a balloon. But right when it gets big enough, the littlest prick can damage the balloon." Alice said nonchalantly.
"Hmm well he better just take a reality check or else I won't be walking down that aisle just yet." Alice looked up to me with the most shocking look on her face.
"No you will walk down that aisle! I already am halfway into making you're dress, I don't care if you don't mean it but you are saying those two words. I've worked way to hard for you not to walk down the aisle in Paris!"
Maybe this ego thing ran in the Cullen family.
We dropped Alice and Ashley off and were on our way home. As soon as we were home the twins ran inside to play with their new toys. I went to get the mail when all of a sudden I felt my feet slip from under me and I fell on my butt.
"AHH!" I screamed. That was going to bruise.
"Are you okay?" I heard this velvety smooth voice say as I felt two arms help me up. I straightened my self out and as I looked up I saw my hero. Liam Bradley. He wrote my most favorite novels. I read his books faithfully and now he was here helping me up after embarrassingly falling on my butt.
"I-uh-I'm-uh-I'm fine." I managed to spit out. He smiled a million dollar smile and I just about fell again, well I started to at least. He caught me in his chest and his arms wrapped around me. He smelled of warm coffee, musk and firewood. His eyes were a smoldering black and his brow was very strong and prominent. The warm color of his skin made his crooked smile seem brilliantly white while his untamed curls peaked out from his cap.
"Let's get you inside." He said walking me into my house. Liam sat me on the couch in the parlor and he went to go get my mail. "Don't move!" He said with a wink. I think I said okay and nodded my head once but I'm not sure how it came out.
Liam came inside and I went to the bathroom, but on my way out I slipped and fell and that's all I remember from that point on because everything just went black.
Emmett
T and I walked in the door from the garage. I took off our boots and coats. When I started to walk down the hallway I heard Bella moaning as I walked into the living room.
"Bell are you okay?" and that's when I saw Liam pop his head up from the other side of the couch.
"It's not what you think!" He said as he scrammed up.
"OUT!"
Okay So Please Review I really like those and I think I'll start making shout-outs. Also I need new stories to read so any fan-recommendations are good!
