A/N: These wonderful characters and all things Twilight still belong to Stephenie Meyer. Oh, but I can dream……
Short but sweet.
Elise, this one's for you….
Emmett POV
"C'mon Rosie, let's go get us some grizzlies." I took Rose's hand and led her outside after Carlise's meeting. The sun wasn't even close to coming up yet, so we had a good chance of catching a few really pissed off bears, once we interrupted whatever they were doing at this hour.
While we were running I was thinking about how our lives were about to change. I stopped for a moment to figure out how Rose felt about it.
"Rose, I don't see why we're going to New Hampshire, and doing whatever Bella is going to do. I mean, we can take those dogs. I know we can. Why can't we just stay and fight and go on living here? I know you like it here, and so do I." Rose just looked at me with that same look she gave me whenever I asked her about cars.
"Emmett, you need to stop thinking of life as one big boxing ring. I know you can take those wolves, babe, but it's just not a good idea. There are bigger implications if we fight them. I need you to focus on what we're doing now. Can you do that?" I was about to argue my point more, but she put on her pouty smile and walked toward me with that totally hot wiggle in her ass.
"Em, baby, can you please do that for me?" She ran her hands up the inside of my shirt then, and I pretty much lost whatever train of thought I had. Man, I was one lucky vampire. "You know," she continued, "I hear the bear population in New Hampshire has been getting out of control lately." She was looking up at me from under her eyelashes now. Totally sexy.
We were lucky enough to find a couple of adult bears mating nearby, and they never even heard us coming up behind them. I think they must have eaten something really good the day before, because they tasted better than usual.
Rose sat on the ground after we were finished, and she looked unhappy.
"Rosie, what's wrong?" I asked.
"It's just that I hear that the bears on the east coast like to put up such a fight that the humans don't stand a chance against them." Her sexy face took on a nervous look now. "You know, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe you're right."
"I am?" Now I was confused.
"Yeah, Em. I'm not so sure we should go someplace where the food is going to be that much of a challenge. What if they really are too much to handle? I mean, maybe they're a different breed or something? Maybe they're more dangerous for some reason?" God, she was cute when she was worried.
No way. She was not going to be afraid of anything as long as I was around.
"Listen, Rose. I'm not going to let some stupid bears scare us away, and I'll never let anything hurt you or anyone else in the family. I'll take everyone hunting personally to make sure they're safe if I have to. Hell, Rose, this could be really cool! If they are some type of different breed, then they'll be that much more surprised when I start taking them out one by one." I started thinking of all the possibilities of mutant bear breeds. I could just imagine a mutant bear just waking up from hibernation. The venom was flowing in my mouth just thinking about it…..
I looked down and saw Rose looking up at me with a big smile on her face. She looked…… smug? She really loved it when I got all protective of her. Obviously she felt safer now about our new home because of me, and most likely the rewards for that would be totally hot. Like I said, I was one lucky vampire.
Now I couldn't wait to go to New Hampshire.
"How much longer till we leave, Rose?" I asked her, grabbing a perfect handful of her ass.
"Not long, Em. Make sure you hunt enough first, though, okay? They're may not be many places to stop along the way, so we should take advantage while we can." She leaned up and kissed me, teasing me for a second with her tongue.
"No problem." I said. "But first, maybe I can show you what a strong, brave protector you have for a husband?" I let my hand roam from her incredible rear to between her thighs, making her gasp a little.
"Well, well, my monkey man." Rose's mouth was all over mine immediately, and I could tell she was in the mood to let me do pretty much whatever I wanted.
"Wait a minute." She pulled away and wrinkled her nose, and she had a look on her face as if she had just eaten human food or something. "Do you smell that?"
I turned my head in the direction she was facing, and I smelled it, too.
"They're not far from the treaty line. We have to go back and tell the others." She said.
"Damned mutts." I growled. Leave it to them to ruin a moment.
