Charlie's POV
The sound of a car door being shut caused me to awaken from my nap. A quick glance at the old clock hanging on the wall told me it was a little after nine and that I had been asleep for about two hours. I had gotten off of work at five, came home, ate some microwavable crap, and crashed out on the couch. I hadn't even realized I had fallen asleep until I had been woken up. A long ass day at work will do that to you, especially when your nearly fifty and you spend your day running after teenage druggies.
My first guess was that Bella had just gotten home. She had been gone all day with Alice and Edward, but sent a text about ten minutes ago that she was on her way home. Today was the day, they found out the sex of my grand baby.
I let out a heavy sigh, and ran my fingers through my thinning grey hair as I prepared for my sweet Bella to walk in, or should I say be carried in. I think being pregnant some how caused her to forget that she still does have two working legs. These days Edward carries her around everywhere like she's some spoiled little lap dog instead of his girlfriend.
A loose and shiny grey hair fell into my lap and I let out another sigh. I blamed my little girl for my lack of pure black hair. I swear, every time I talk to her, either a chunk of hair just falls to the ground, or my strands turn silver. She drives me crazy, but I don't mind all that much. She's my little girl, and life would be boring without her in it. I wouldn't have to worry about anything, and god knows I'd be a whole lot richer, but I would never trade Belles for any of that. Emmett is a different story, him I might consider trading, but not my Bella. She's my little girl, and I would rather be poor, and never have a worry free moment than to not have my little girl. She's my everything, and all too soon she will know exactly what that feels like.
I still found it hard to believe that my baby would soon be having a baby of her very own. I wasn't ready to be a grandpa just yet. Hell, I wasn't old enough and I sure as hell didn't know where the time had gone. It seemed like only yesterday that I was sitting in that hospital room with her mother squeezing the crap out of my hand. Then Twenty four agonizing hours later I was unlocking the door to our new house and escorting my wife inside, a swaddled baby resting in her arms.
Now that baby is no longer a baby. She's a beautiful young woman with long wavy hair, and those creamy brown eyes that always get her just what she wants. She's all grown up, or seventeen and pregnant at least. I guess that qualifies as grown up. Now she waddles into my house with her arms wrapped protectively around her growing stomach, but soon she would be walking through my front door carrying a new born baby wrapped in blankets, and I could already hear her constant nagging in my ear about not cussing in front of the baby. She may be only seventeen, and although everything is happening a whole lot sooner than I had hoped, there was no doubt in my mind that my little girl would be a terrific mother.
I guess you can say I've pretty much always known that. She's kind of just always had a special thing with kids. When she was younger she treated her dolls the way a mother would treat an actual child. She took them everywhere with her, fed them often, changed their pampers, rocked them to sleep, and even buckled them up in the car. She drove her big brother crazy at times because she would always make him help her buckle her dolls or push the stoller, but just like the rest of us, he did it because he loved her.
René used to joke around saying that Bella could teach a parenting class. She was only six at the time, but she probably could have, so I'm not all worried that she won't be a good mother, or that she's not ready to be a mother. I know she will be able to handle it. She's Isabella Marie Swan, she can handle anything life throws her way. I'm just a little sad that my baby is growing up so damn fast. My baby is no longer a baby. My baby is having a baby.
I sat up a little and twisted my body toward the door when I heard the knob being turned. I had expected to see Bella waltz into the living room with Edward by her side and Alice hopping along behind them, but instead Emmett walked in hand in hand with his beautiful blonde girlfriend Rosalie.
Emmett slammed the door shut and led Rosalie into our sparsely furnished living room which was really in need of a good cleaning. Bella usually took care of all the housekeeping, but I've been telling her not to worry about the house lately, and it definitely shows.
Rosalie walked in clutching Emmett's left hand tightly. She looked beautiful like always. She wore little makeup, her golden hair hung by her side in a loose braid, and she was dressed simply in a pink hoodie, loose blue jeans, and black boots. Emmett held her hand lovingly and stood protectively by her side. It was evident that he loved that girl, and he would probably do just about anything for her. Hell, he would probably jump in front of a car just to protect her.
"Hey Dad, how are you doing?" he asked. I groaned and slouched back into the old leather couch.
"Well I had been sleeping peacefully until some people showed up", I whined.
Rosalie giggled sweetly and blushed slightly. "Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Swan. We were going to stay at my place tonight, but I wanted to come back here to see Bella and my brother. They found out the sex of the baby earlier, but my father wouldn't tell me anything. He said I had to ask them." She apologized.
I chuckled and waved my hand through the air, then gestured for them to take a seat.
"Don't worry about it darling. I love having you over and you are welcome any time", I said, and I actually meant it too.
Emmett's twenty one and has dated quite a bit of girls, but none of them come close to comparing to Rosalie. She is beautiful, caring, and has a bright future ahead of her. She wants to follow in her father's footsteps and become a doctor. She's also not pregnant with my son's baby, so she's my favorite Cullen. Although, she is dating Emmett, so I'm still a little convinced that there is something seriously wrong with that poor girl. Why else would a girl like that want a son like mine?
"Thank you Mr. Swan", she replied sweetly.
"Rose, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Charlie?" I teased.
She blushed and stepped behind Emmett, who chuckled and pulled her over to the couch. Sometimes I seriously wonder what that girl sees in my son. I guess he's pretty handsome thanks to me, but also loud, arrogant, and lazy thanks to his mother.
"Stop harassing my girlfriend, dad", Emmett joked.
I chuckled and took a sip from the gold and silver can that had been sitting on the coffee table.
"Is Bella here yet?" Rosalie asked hopefully, her hazel eyes lit up with curiosity and wandering around the room in search of my daughter.
I took another sip from the can and shook my head.
"No, but she left a message about ten minutes ago saying that she, your bother, and Alice were on their way." I explained.
Emmett shuddered playfully at the mention of Alice's name, while Rosalie nodded her head.
"Is it ok if we wait?" She asked nervously, fiddling with the hem of her shirt and tapping her foot on the floor.
Emmett chuckled and wrapped his muscular arm around her petite body.
"Babe, this is my house. You don't have to ask permission to stay here"
Rosalie blushed and scooted closer to Emmett, hiding behind his broad shoulders.
"I know but I just wanted to be sure we aren't disturbing your father" Rosalie explained
Emmett rolled his eyes and waved his hand through the air.
"Don't worry about it, babe. The old man loves having us over"
I let out a hurt sigh and rolled my eyes dramatically.
"Yes, I love having you over, Rose" I said, putting extra emphasize on the word you. "Emmett not so much"
Rosalie giggled and said her thanks.
The three of us spent the next fifteen minutes talking, watching a baseball game, and waiting for Bella's arrival.
Bella's POV
Edward put his shiny, black, and overly expensive car into park in front of my house and my heart immediately started beating faster.
Edward began to chuckle, taking notice of my hand tensing up in his.
"Nervous, my love?" he asked
Nervous, my love, really? What the hell kind of a question was that?
It was pretty obvious that I was, but I decided to try and play it cool, act like I felt perfectly fine and ignore the feeling that my heart was about to burst out of my chest.
I swallowed hard to clear my throat before responding to my fiancé's question. "Nope", I answered simply.
Edward chuckled and eyed me suspiciously.
"Ok fine, yes I am extremely nervous", I confessed, huffing and crossing my chicken arms.
His expression softened and he pulled me closer to him. "Love, you have nothing to fear. I will remain by your side always. You aren't alone in this, and besides it's not like Charlie or Emmett can be upset with you for having triplets instead of just one baby. You had no say in that matter. It just happened." He said in an attempt to comfort me.
He was right. I knew he was right. He was always right, but I still couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Yes, me being pregnant with triplets instead of just one baby isn't at all my fault, and there is no reason for my father or brother to be upset about it, but there was still one more piece of information to tell them, and I wasn't sure how they would handle it. I still had to tell them that I was now engaged.
I sighed heavily and laid my head on Edward's shoulder. I was exhausted, and wanted nothing more than to run upstairs, jump into my bed, and fall asleep, but of course I still had some business to take care of before I would be able to do any of those things.
"Love, don't worry about anything. It can't be any worse than telling them that you were pregnant. And besides, I'm sure both your father and Emmett, are expecting that I ask you to marry me at some point since you will be having my babies" he pointed out.
Once again, I knew he was right, but that didn't help my nerves much. "Yes, I know, but that doesn't mean they will like the idea of us getting married, and I don't want to do anything that will make either Charlie or Emmett unhappy. They both mean the world to me. "
He sighed and rubbed my enlarged belly. "I know how much they mean to you, Belles, and I know they feel the same way about you, so don't worry about anything. All they want is for you to be happy, and if they are able to see that you are happy with me, then they will be happy too"
Once again, damn Edward was right.
Edward smiled smugly and reached for the handle of his door.
I groaned and grabbed his arm, pulling him back. "Do we have to?" I asked, hoping he would say no, jump back in the car and speed off to anywhere but the Swan household.
Unfortunately for me, that didn't happen. He chuckled, yanked his hand away, and proceeded to open his door.
A few seconds later, he was out of the car, and by my side. His large, but gentle hand was extended to me and I took it reluctantly, allowing him to lift me out of the car.
I shut the car door, and we were about to head inside, when I suddenly remembered something. I walked backward a couple paces, and reopened my door, glancing toward the backseat. I stifled a giggle and waved Edward forward. Little Alice was fast asleep in the back seat. Her pretty little head rested on the window and her legs were sprawled out across the seat.
"Should we wake her up?" I asked.
Edward furrowed his brow and thought about the question for a minute. It was obvious he wanted to say no, but decided against it.
"Well as much as I would really love to just leave her in here sleeping, we can't do that. If she realizes that we told everyone about the triplets and our engagement without her, she will murder us"
I giggled and nodded. "Yeah you're right" I replied and then slid into the back seat next to Alice. I shook her shoulders gently and called her name softly in an attempt to wake her up. I had no luck. Alice was the heaviest sleeper I had ever met. That girl could sleep through anything.
Edward chuckled at my failed attempt and helped me out of the car.
He was about to slide in next to Alice, but stopped and picked up something from the ground first.
I was a little confused at first, but a quick glance at the ground, cleared everything up for me. Scurrying about in the moon light were five black, shiny beetles. I giggled at the sight of them because I now understood Edward's plan for waking up Alice.
In his enclosed hand, was a black and shiny beetle. I couldn't actually see the repulsive insect, but I knew Edward. I knew him enough to know that in his hand was a beetle and that he was planning on putting it on poor Alice. I knew exactly what his little plan was, and as Alice's best friend I had a decision to make. I could either be a good friend and force Edward to drop the beetle onto the ground instead of on poor little Alice's face, or I could be a true friend, let Edward drop the beetle on her, laugh on the inside, and pretend to get mad at Edward later. I decided to be a true friend. It was a dangerous choice, but also a funny one. I was eagerly awaiting little Alice's reaction. She hated bugs more than my wardrobe, so I could only imagine how bad she would freak.
Edward released the beetle, watched it fall onto Alice's face, then quickly slid out of the car and ran over to my side.
A few minutes later, Alice was awake and out of the car, jumping up and down and screaming like a crazy person. I tried as hard as I could not to laugh, but Edward on the other hand made absolutely no attempt to conceal his amusement.
Alice froze, turned to glare at Edward and then shouted at the top of her lungs. "Edward Cullen, I am going to kill you!" she threatened.
Edward chuckled and then quickly lifted me into his arms, catching me totally off guard.
I smacked his shoulder as hard as I could and scolded him for scarring me. "Edward Cullen, don't you ever do that to me again! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
Edward chuckled slightly, but wasn't paying much attention to me. All of his attention was directed toward Alice.
He smiled smugly at her. "Surely you wouldn't touch me while I'm holding your pregnant best friend" he teased.
Alice furrowed her brow and raised her hands to her hips.
"Well considering the fact that she did absolutely nothing to stop your little prank, I just might" she threatened.
I giggled and threw my hands up in the air. "Fine, kill me if you want, but can't I at least get married and give birth to my children first" I begged jokingly.
She rolled her eyes, pushed past Edward and stomped her way into the house.
Emmett's POV
The sound of approaching footsteps and Alice's high pitched voice cause the three of us to turn our attention toward the front door.
"Sounds like they are here!" Rosalie chimed in her lovely sing song voice.
The front door slammed shut, and a few seconds later, Edward walked into the living room carrying my baby sister, and Alice was a few feet behind them shouting loudly about a bug or some shit like that.
"Edward Cullen, you put her down right now, so I can rip your head off!" she shouted.
My father and I both thought it was pretty funny, Rosalie not so much. She pulled her hand away from mine and made her way to where the trio stood in front of the living room entrance.
I got up from the couch and followed her.
Rose smiled sweetly at Bella, placed a kiss on her forehead, wrapped Alice in a hug, and then turned to glare at her little brother.
She placed a hand on her hip and glared at her brother. "Edward Cullen, why are you so mean to poor little Alice?" she questioned.
Alice was annoying as hell! Charlie knew that, Edward knew that, I knew that, even Belles knew that, but Rose, she didn't know that. She viewed Alice as this tiny little sweetheart that could never hurt a fly, when in reality she was actually pretty violent. I can't even count the times she's hit me, but of course Rose would never believe my "tales", as she calls them.
Edward chuckled and rolled his eyes at his sister. "Ok rose, first of all Alice is not poor. She owns more clothes than the mall does, so it's safe to assume she does have at least a little money. Second of all it's fun to pick on her." He teased.
Rose smiled cunningly and then turned to me. "Babe will you get your sister please?" she asked.
I chuckled and nodded in agreement. I knew exactly what Rose was planning. She wanted to hit her brother, but she would never do that while he was holding my pregnant sister for fear that he might drop he, but if I was holding her instead, Rose would have nothing to worry about. Damn, I love that girl.
Judging by her huge ass stomach Belles probably weighs a ton now, but I really wanted to see Rose kick her little brother's ass, so i reluctantly held my arms out toward Bella.
Edward laughed loudly and turned around so that his back faced me, refusing to give up my baby.
Rosalie guffawed and tapped her booted foot rapidly.
"Edward Cullen, give Bella to Emmett now!" she demanded
Alice smiled smugly at Edward and stuck her tongue out at him. She too knew what was coming and she would probably enjoy it most of all.
Edward rolled his eyes and reluctantly held Bella out toward me.
I extended my arms out so I could grab her, but she shook her head in refusal and locked her arms tighter around Edward's neck. At that point I wasn't sure if she was trying to protect him or strangle him.
"Awe how cute, Belles is protecting her baby daddy" I teased. I knew that little comment would get her to come with me.
Bella huffed, rolled her eyes, and released her grip, allowing me to lift her out of Edward's arms.
"Come here baby girl", I said to Bella as I placed my hand under her back and lifted her out of Edward's arms.
Rosalie smiled her thanks at me and then proceeded to move closer to her brother.
"Edward Cullen, how dare you be so cruel to sweet little Alice. She is an angel and you need to treat her better." She said as she smacked the side of his head then his shoulder. I was kinda hoping for a little more action than that, but I guess you just take what you can get.
Edward chuckled then grabbed his sister in a hug. "Rose, you know I love you, but I will never be able to be nice to that under grown devil. She is not an angel like you think she is." He said smugly. "Oh and one more thing, big sis, you might want to hit the gym if you actually want your hits to hurt." He joked.
Rosalie huffed and stomped off to the living room.
"Charlie your daughter, sweet Alice, and my ass whole little brother are here", she called to my dad as she walked out of the hallway and toward the living room. She put emphasize on the words sweet, and ass whole.
"Take me to dad, Emm", Bella commanded.
I gave her a little smirk and began walking to the living room "Your wish is my command princess"
Charlie's face lit up and he finally got his lazy ass off the damn couch when he saw me walk in with Bella. Her head was rested on my chest and her eyes were beginning to droop. I knew she was exhausted.
"Hey baby girl" Charlie said as he took Bella from my arms then laid her down on the couch. Edward and Alice were on either side of her in seconds.
She smiled sleepily at him, fighting to keep her eyes open. "Hey dad" she replied back.
Charlie knelt by her side where I laid her on the couch, slowly beginning to drift off to sleep, and ran his fingers through her hair like he used to when she was a little girl. It always helped her fall asleep faster.
Bella pushed his hand away gently and lifted her head up.
"Dad I have something to tell you" she mumbled
Charlie smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead. "You can tell us tomorrow, baby. Right now Edward is going to carry you upstairs so you can get some rest." He told her before getting up off the floor and turning his attention to Edward.
"Carry her upstairs please, Edward."
Edward and Alice glanced at each other before he reluctantly picked Bella up.
"I'm having triplets" she whispered, but the words were still loud enough for all of us to hear.
The room grew quiet and everyone turned to look at Bella, but she didn't appear to be awake anymore.
Leave Edward to explain everything, nice Belles, real nice. The girl was way more devious than people gave her credit for.
Poor kid just stood there and met all of gazes, not knowing what to say.
Rosalie stepped forward and placed a hand on his shoulder, a small smile forming on her full, sexy lips. "Is it true Edward?" she asked, her smile growing bigger.
Edward smiled back at his sister and nodded his head. "Yes Rose, we are having triplets, and they are all girls, although I'm surprised Alice hasn't already blurted that out" he replied.
Alice shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "Yeah, I decided to let you handle this one on your own"
"Damn. Belles is having triplets, good luck with that Edward. That's three times the crying, bottle making, and diaper changing" I hollered.
Edward just gave a kind of just shut up already smile. I was pretty used to getting those.
My poor father looked like he was in shock still, staring blankly at the floor. It kind of reminded me when I was still in high school and it was test day. My mind would just go blank and I would stare at the damn papers, not knowing what I should do. That's how Charlie looked.
I chuckled and walked over to him, slapping his shoulder pretty hard. He snapped out of his little trance and glanced around the room. Everyone's eyes were on him. His eyes were on Edward and Bella. "You ok, dad?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders and groaned. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. It's just that three babies is a lot of responsibility. Are you going to be able to handle it?" he asked Edward.
Edward sighed and looked down at Bella, a smile appearing on his face. "Yes, Chief Swan, three babies will be a quite a handful, but I believe Bella will make a wonderful mother, and if she's by my side, then I think I will be able to handle it." He replied
Charlie just rolled his eyes and left the room. He didn't want to hear anymore of Edward's lovey dovey crap, I guess. I know I sure as hell didn't.
Bella's eyes fluttered open and she smiled up at Edward. "Thanks babe"
He smiled at her and replied. "Yeah and thanks for pretending to fall asleep and leaving me to explain everything"
Bella smiled smugly and waved a hand through the air. "No problem babe, and by the way you didn't tell them everything so stop complaining"
As soon as she spoke that last sentence she gasped and covered her mouth.
Her eyes met Edward's gaze and then they turned to look back at Rose and me.
"What is she talking about, Edward?" Rose asked, narrowing her eyes. It was pretty clear she wanted an answer.
"You might want to come back in here, old man, it seems Edward forgot to mention something to us!" I hollered and Charlie was back in the room within a minute glaring at Edward.
"What is it now, Belles?" he asked
Bella shrugged her shoulders and bit her lip. Whatever it was she was scared to say.
"Now, Isabella Marie, I have work in the morning, so you need to tell me now"
She continued biting her lip and glanced up at Edward. I guess she was counting on him saving her again, and it looked like he would have if Charlie hadn't stopped him.
Edward opened his mouth to speak, but Charlie chuckled and shook his finger. "Oh no, Bella, Edward is not going to tell us this time. You already made the poor boy tell us about the triplets alone, so hurry up and spill it"
Bella took a deep breath and stuck her hand out so we could see it. At first I didn't get why she was showing us her hand but then I got it when Rose pointed at the rock that sat on my little sister's finger.
Charlie's eyes grew wide but only for a moment then a smile appeared on his face. A smile, seriously? His only daughter, his seventeen year old daughter has an engagement ring on her finger and all he does is smile? No gun talk? No hurt my daughter and I'll be sure to throw you in jail for life? Just a smile? Who the hell is Charlie Swan turning into?
He walked over to the couple and placed a kiss on Bella's forehead, then patted Edward's shoulder. "It's about damn time, son" was all he said before returning to his room.
Bella giggled and looked up at Edward. "Well that definitely went better than I expected", she admitted.
Edward chuckled and began to kiss her. It wasn't a quick little peck either. Oh no I'm talking full on lip to lip action and probably a little tongue. Shit, well I guess now we all know why Bella is pregnant. Those two just can't stay off of each other.
I rose off the couch and cleared my throat before taking Bella into my arms. "Ok, missy that is quite enough. I believe it's time for you to be heading off to bed" I said
Bella giggled and stuck her tongue out at me. "Fine, but you have to carry me upstairs", she replied. Damn, she is so lazy these days. She gets pregnant and then she thinks we all have nothing better to do than carry her around all day.
I chuckled and nodded my head. "You got it kiddo" I said
"Rose you can go up to my room and wait for me there. Alice and Edward, you guys better head home before it gets any later."
Bella pouted and crossed her arms. "Oh come on, can't they just stay?" she pleaded, her creamy brown eyes boring into my soul. Damn kid knows I can never say no to her when she does that.
I sighed and gave in. "Fine kid, Alice can sleep upstairs with you, but Edward sleeps on the couch."
A smile was on her face for about a second before quickly vanishing. I thought she would be happy that her freaky best friend and stupid boyfriend could stay over, but I guess I thought wrong. That kid is so hard to please sometimes.
"What kiddo?" I questioned
"Does he really have to sleep on the couch?" she asked.
I chuckled and nodded my hand. "Yes, kid what the hell kind of a question is that? There is no damn way he is sleeping in your room" I replied.
She pouted and began staring at me with her big brown eyes. I couldn't let her break me with again. I had to be strong and refuse. There was no way I could let her get her way this time. Charlie would kill me if he knew I let Edward sleep in Bella's room.
"Oh come on, Emm. They aren't going to do anything with Alice in the room, and besides Belles is already pregnant and they are engaged" Rosalie said, rubbing my shoulder with her soft silky hand. Her, I could almost never say no to, and she knew it, so did Bella which is probably why a smug smile appeared on her face.
"Fine, they can both sleep in your room, but I want to talk to you alone for a while. I will come back downstairs and get you guys once I'm done", I explained then retreated up the stairs with my baby sister in my arms.
Bella's POV
Emmett balanced me in his arms while turning the knob on my door, then walked in and laid me on the bed, while I struggled to keep my eyes open. I wanted so badly to just give in to sleep already and allow my eyelids to shut, but Emmett said he had to talk to me, so here I am forcing myself to stay awake.
Emmett laid me down gently, and then bent the edge of the blanket so I could crawl in under it. I looked up at him and smiled, remembering how I used to love it when he would tuck me in.
He smiled back, but then frowned. "You're tired aren't you kiddo?"
It was pretty obvious that I was, but I didn't actually want to confess that to him, so I just kept fighting back sleep, and shook my head no.
He seemed satisfied enough with my silent reply and started with his talk. "So you're getting married then?" he asked
I seriously had to force myself not to roll my eyes at him. He had just heard us tell him that we were engaged, so why the hell is he wasting my valuable sleeping time by asking me stupid questions? Jeez pregnant woman are so bitchy.
I sighed heavily and stared at him, my eyes wide with confusion. I was still wondering why he felt the need to ask me if I was getting married when he had just heard that I was engaged to Edward. Freak in common sense tells you that a damn wedding usually follows an engagement.
"Yes Emmett I'm getting married", I replied a little more harshly than I had originally intended, but with my brother sometimes you had to be harsh to get your point across. Sometimes that was the only way.
Emmett chuckled, then scooped me into his arms and took a seat on my bed. Now I knew there really was a point to all this. He really did have something important to say. Ever since we were kids, he would always come into my room pick me up, sit me in his lap, and sit on my bed whenever he had to tell me something. Every single time, whether it was to pass along bad news, or make sure I was doing ok or even just to find out how my day had been. To tell you the truth, Emmett was actually more motherly and more nurturing than René ever was. He may be this big scary looking guy, but in reality he is actually the sweetest guy anyone will ever meet, and i know he will be a terrific uncle to my girls and a wonderful father to his own children whenever he is ready to have them.
He looked up at me and it wasn't until then that I realized his eyes were getting watery. A meek smile appeared on his face and his eyes grew red as he fought back tears and I myself began to struggle to keep myself from crying.
After wiping away tears and clearing his throat he looked at me lovingly and slowly began to express his feelings. "Kiddo, I remember when you were first born, and now here we are. You graduated, you're pregnant, and you're engaged. I don't know where the hell time went, because it seems like only yesterday that you were that little curly haired girl crying because you fell off your bike, but soon you're going to be a mom." He began to get choked up, and tears began to build up in his eyes. I stopped trying to hold them back, and just let them run down my cheeks freely. "I may not be ready to let go of my baby sister, but I know that eventually I will have to and I couldn't think of a better person for you to marry. I just want you to know that even though you will be married and have babies soon, you will always be my baby sister, and I will always be right by your side supporting you through everything you decide to do, Belles" After he finished he wrapped me in a hug, and we just kinda sat there for a while holding each other and shedding a few tears, until finally he picked me up out of his lap and laid me back down on my bed. "Ok kiddo it's getting late and I know you must be exhausted, so I will let you get some rest." He said as I crawled back under my thick comforter.
He bent down to kiss my forehead and said one last thing before he left. "Oh yeah Belles, and if you tell anyone that I cried I will drop one of your babies off the balcony" he threatened. Most future mothers probably would have been a little offended by that statement, but it came from Emmett so I just broke out into laughter. I knew he would never harm a hair on any of my girl's heads, and besides everyone downstairs will probably be able to figure it out on their own since his face is still as red as a tomato.
"I'll keep my mouth shut" I promised. He chuckled and winked at me as he turned to leave my room. "Don't forget to send Ally and Edward up!" I hollered
"Yeah yeah I'll send them up" he replied and with that he was on his way downstairs.
