"To steal from a brother or a sister is evil. To not steal from the institutions that are the pillars of the Pig Empire is equally immoral." – Abbie Hoffman.

Chapter Two.
I wasn't sure if I should stay. I mean I didn't want to just intrude on them. But having Emmett look at me like that was enough reason to never move. They all had lives here and I had to think about how their lives are affected by this.
We were sitting in their living room while the boys watched some game on TV. Alice and Rosalie were on the computer making clothes or shopping… something like that. I sat there next to Emmett feeling like, something was missing. I suppose after all these years, it just isn't the same.
"Do you have pictures of our girl?" He asked quietly after a second. I dug around in my purse to find some. I handed them to Emmett. He flipped to our grandchildren. "What are their names?" He asked. "Peyton and Emmett." I smiled. He looked over at me, "Emmett?" he asked. I nodded. He handed the pictures around. Carlisle and Emse left for work.
"We've got school… Emmett you coming?" Alice asked focusing on something distant. "No sun." She added.
"Not today." He said. Everyone left and he and I were alone.
"School?" I asked quickly so we wouldn't have to talk about whatever he was planning to ask me. "Yeah, we go to school. So we can live here longer." He said. I nodded. "So… where have you been living?" He asked.
"Um New York for the most part… but I did do some traveling." I said. "What about you?" I asked. "Well, I was on that camping trip… when the bear mauled me. Rosalie found me and took me to Carlisle to change me over so I wouldn't die. So I've been with them ever since." He said.
"How long are you in town?" He finally asked. I shrugged, "A day or two." He stared off at the TV. "What?" I finally asked him.
"I know it will sound silly but I assumed you to stay longer than that… but I suppose, you've never liked to settle down somewhere." He said still not looking at me. I sighed. "Well, what do you want from me; I thought you've been dead all these years." I said slightly annoyed.
"I don't know you don't even seem happy to see me." He mumbled. "Emmett, of course I'm happy to see you! God, are you that thick? But I'm also not staying long… And you've got a great thing going here… this family that Carlisle's established. You fit here… and you're needed here…" I said. He finally looked at me. "What are you getting at?" He asked. I laughed, "Emmett, I don't understand why you're so upset when you've moved on." I finally said. He stared at me.
"Moved on to who?" He asked. I looked at him. "Rosalie, Emmett… and believe me, I didn't come here because of you… I didn't know you were here… and I don't expect you to still be pining for after all these years." I said.
"No, she and I aren't dating…" Emmett said. I shook my head, "It doesn't matter Em…" he looked away. "I'll be leaving again soon…." I said. He'd looked upset.
Hit or miss?
Okay, I know this chapter was a short one and I'm sorry.
