Chapter 49
BPOV
To say I was impressed was an understatement.
Emmett really went all out for this thing.
It made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside; cherished.
We were currently strolling through the zoo, and I had a large stuffed bear clutched to my chest. I don't know what it was about this particular bear, but from the moment I looked into it's blue eyes, I knew I had to have it.
Emmett teased me, saying he was glad the little girl in me was making an appearance. I just rolled my eyes and continued walking.
"Seriously," he said breaking me out of my thoughts. "Where the hell do they put that thing?"
Huh?
He must've noticed the clueless look on my face because he rolled his eyes and sighed dramatically, "Bella please," he said giving me what was supposed to be a stern look, "Pay attention."
"I'm sorry," I said biting the inside of my jaw to stop the flow of laughter that was threatening to spill out of my mouth. "What were you saying?"
"The walrus has the biggest dick in the ocean," he began and I couldn't keep it in. I burst out laughing and only laughed harder at the expression on his face.
"What? I mean you're a girl. Aren't you scared of huge schlongs?"
Oh God he was actually entertaining this thought!
I was going to die from laughing.
Well it certainly was a good way to go.
"Emmett," I wheezed. "Please...shut...up!" I said in between cackles. I didn't even care about the other people milling around who had begun to stare at us.
He really had a perplexed look on his face, as though he really couldn't understand why I was laughing, which made me laugh all the more. When I finally calmed myself enough to speak I found I didn't want to, so I did what came naturally: I reached up and kissed Emmett.
He was stunned for the first few seconds of the kiss but when his brain kicked in, boy did he ever kiss me back.
You're in a zoo Isabella, my inner voice prompted. There are little children around for Pete's sake.
I took a step back, pulling our lips apart, both of us breathing heavy.
"Well," Emmett said rubbing the back of his neck, a soft smile on his face. "If talking about walrus dick gets me that, I might have to talk about it more often."
I shoved at his shoulders playfully, ducking my head to hide my blush. We started moving again, and I thoroughly enjoyed this part of Date Day. It was fast approaching lunch time and even though I wasn't dying for food, little miss inside of me had other ideas.
Yeah, she'd been a girl for a few days now. Sue me.
"Hungry?" Emmett asked as my stomach gurgled embarrassingly.
I scowled down at my little bump, well it wasn't that little anymore, but you get the idea.
"No but your daughter is," I said grumpily.
Did I mention the mood swings that I was beginning to loathe?
"My daughter?" Emmett asked amusement tingeing his voice.
I nodded brusquely, "Yes, she's being a pain at the moment."
Emmett laughed and wrapped his arms around my middle, his breath tickling the back of my neck.
"Baby girl?" his voice rumbled against my skin, causing a shiver to run through my body. "Mummy says you're being naughty, is that true?"
Tears filled my eyes at the love in his voice as he talked to our unborn child.
"Would you be a good girl for daddy?" he asked, voice dropping lowly.
Yes.
Oh wait, he wasn't talking to me.
After a few moments of just standing there, his hands caressing my stomach, listening to the sounds of the various animals around us, I cleared my throat.
"Let's go," I said turning in his arms and hugging him. The spicy scent of his cologne tickled my nose but didn't upset my stomach. I didn't throw up anymore but certain scents would cause my stomach to churn.
Emmett led the way to the car, refusing to tell me where we going, I smiled at sat back, not minding one bit. He turned on the radio to a station that was playing jazz and before you knew it, I was falling asleep.

When I reached our destination Bella was still sleeping and I was kinda glad for that. I was able to get out and prepare our lunch area. I had called ahead and had someone pick up lunch from home. I smiled warmly at the woman who was standing next to the blanket with the picnic basket in hand.
"Mr. McCarty," she said with a smile, reaching her free hand out to shake mine.
"Thank you for doing this," I said taking the basket from her hand.
"I hope everything goes well for you and your lady," she said with another bright smile before turning to leave.
I placed the basket in the middle of the blanket and made my way back to my jeep. I grabbed the cooler I had back there and then went around to wake Bella. As her eyes fluttered open and her lips curled into a soft smile, I felt a tightness in my chest.
"Hi," she said, voice full of sleep and sex.
"Had a good nap?" I asked after clearing my throat.
She nodded and stretched before looking around, "Where are we?"
"Lunch awaits Madame," I said straightening up and offering her my hand.
I helped her sit down and then went about getting the lunch set out for us.
I had gotten a little help from Edward for this part, he knew her best after all. He had given me a list of all the things she liked and disliked, he even amended it around her pregnancy list.
"Don't forget the rocky road ice-cream," he had said last. "She loves that, pregnant or not."
The ice-cream was chilling at the bottom of the ice cooler.
"Emmett," she breathed as I set the food out. "This is..."
I noticed the tears in her eyes, "What's wrong?"
She shook her head, "Nothing. It's perfect."
"Then what's with the water works?"
"No one's ever done anything like this for me before," she said putting her hand over her mouth, fighting back the tears.
"Well from now on you will be spoiled," Emmett said brushing a finger under her eyes, wiping away a stray tear.
"Thank you," she said quietly.
I shrugged, "No need for that. Now let's eat ok?"
She nodded and we dug into our meal.
"Your child is turning me into a pig," she said in between bites.
I laughed and reached over to rub her stomach, "Mummy is delusional baby, she's gorgeous and she knows it."
I grinned as her blush spread over her face. I would never get tired of that. We talked during the meal, and I learnt more things about Bella Swan, and I fell even more in love with her.
"What's for dessert?" she asked as she wiped her mouth.
I chuckled and dug into the cooler, pulling out the pint of ice-cream, full out laughing when she squealed and grabbed the tub out of my hand.
"Emmett McCarty you are fucking amazing!" she cried.
I ducked my head, "I aim to please."
Bella smiled at me and opened the ice-cream, she moaned softly as she put the spoon in her mouth.
"This is one of the nicest, if not the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me," her voice soft and her eyes shiny.
I didn't want her to cry.
I leaned over and captured her lips softly, pulling her gently into my lap as she mewled into my mouth.
By the time I broke the kiss, her eyes were heavy and full of unbridled lust.
See? I can do this.
"We're going to start home now ok?" I told her, brushing her hair back with a gentle hand.
She nodded and looked away shyly, but I let that go. I had accomplished what I had set out to do. James was gonna get a huge ass present from me. We cleaned up the things and headed to the car. Bella was humming as we went, sending me secret smiles every now and again.
As we hit onto the road she turned on the radio and played around with it for a bit until she had obviously found a song that suited her taste, then she started singing along.
"Really?" I asked her raising a brow.
She completely ignored me, managing to stick her tongue out and still hit the next note without even missing a beat. We'd been driving along happily, her singing and I was thinking about the last phase of Date Day waiting at home.
"Ohhh!" Bella exclaimed shocking me out of my thoughts. I looked around, momentarily bewildered.
"Look Emmett!" she cried. "A fair!"
I knew I was gaping at her as though she'd been abducted by aliens and this was the return product. I pulled the car off the road and stopped before I caused an accident.
"You ok?" I asked her.
She rolled her eyes in typical Bella fashion, "I want to go to the fair," she said pouting her full lips at me. "Please?"
Who could say no to that face?
Obviously not me, and that's how I found myself calling home while Bella was busy buying the tickets to tell them that there would be a slight delay. Sure I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't complete the entire date according to my schedule, yep, I was a stickler for order...sometimes. Then I saw her face light up as she looked up at the Ferris wheel.
"You ready?" I asked as she headed back to me.
"You ready to win me some teddy bears?" she asked with a cheeky smirk.
I laughed, "Or you could win me some teddy bears."

I couldn't get Edward out of my mind.
Fuckety fuck fucken.
Note to self, stop watching Emperor's New Groove.
Here I was jogging, trying to get him out of my head.
I still hadn't called Al to talk, or apologize or tell him to completely fuck off. I couldn't focus on anything except that shock of ginger hair, and startling green eyes. Jeezus, he was turning me into a bigger queer.
Twenty minutes after I started running I stopped and looked at my surroundings. Something oddly familiar about them. I shrugged mentally and resumed my pace, sweat dripping down my face, my hair sticking to my forehead as I ran. I could feel the muscles in my legs bunching and uncurling with each stride.
I turned the corner and that's when I realized where I was.
McCarty Manor.
I had fucking run straight to the root of my current dilemma.
Well there was no time like the present to get our grievances out in the open.
I snorted to myself, who was I kidding? The only one with any sort of grievance was probably Al.
So I found myself at the door of Bella and Emmett's little cottage, knowing full well they weren't home.
When Edward opened the door, bare-chested no less, I totally lost all sense and capability.
"James?" he asked a surprised look on his face. "Is something wrong?"
I didn't even say a word, just grabbed his head and kissed the shit out of him.
"That's what's wrong!" I said pulling my lips from his. "I can't get you out of my fucking head!"
Edward was, for the first time in his life probably, utterly speechless.
