Chapter 7: Time Spent Together

*Emmett*

"So, Emmett, what brings you back to Forks?"

I looked at Charlie and swallowed my food before I spoke. "Just to see what new is goin on. Needed a familiar place to come to that I liked. We move around so much and this was the only place I actually enjoyed bein at."

"Oh yeah? Well, glad to see some appreciate this place." He gave a smirk towards Bella.

"Hey, just cause I can't see doesn't mean I didn't hear the smirk in your voice towards me. I never said I didn't like it here. I always wished I could have stayed here growin up."

"That's a relief to hear." Charlie laughed. "Plan on stayin awhile here in town, Emmett?"

"I think I will. Who knows. Things got more interesting around here."

"Who said I was interesting?" Bella asked.

"Who said I said it was you who was interesting?"

"Well, I am the newest person back in town so I'm sure you meant me."

"Well, don't be so confident miss thing. You're not so interesting."

"Neither are you, lughead."

Alice and Charlie laughed at our banter. I couldn't help but smile. We argued like we had known each other for years.

"So, Bella. Do you shop?" Alice asked, hopeful.

"I do actually. I like to look nice, even though I can't see myself. I went shopping with Sue awhile back for civilian clothes."

"Oh shit. You have no idea what you have started. Alice is a shopaholic. Get ready for shopping trips once a week." I laughed.

"What's so wrong with that? I honestly could use a girl friend to do things with. Just ask dad."

"Yay! Shopping! We can go this weekend if you want! I know a lot of cute places in Port Angeles."

"Alright. You're on." Bella laughed.

She had a beautiful laugh. I would kill to make her laugh everyday. It brought a flutter to my core everytime she laughed. I would definatly have to talk to Carlisle about all of this.

"Well, it's time for the game. Bells, I'll let you visit. See you both later."

He waved to Alice and I then kissed Bella on the head before going inside.

"Him and those games." She shook her head.

"So, what now?" I asked as I stretched out in my chair.

"I don't know. Hey, this sounds weird, but do you have any video games? I loved playin them with the guys, and now that I can't see, I love to hear them."

"Video games? Bella, you're asking the master of video games. Em has tons of them at home."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. I have just about anything. Want to come over for awhile and listen to me play?"

Just then Charlie came out the back door. "Hey, Bells, just got a call. I am needed at a wreck over close to La Push. The game is recording, so we can watch it later. I'm sorry, kid."

"It's fine dad. I'll go over to Alice and Emmett's. He invited me over for video games."

"Okay. I'll call when I am heading home. I can pick you up if you want."

"Okay, dad. Be careful."

"I will. Love you, kid."

"To the stars, dad."

He kissed her cheek as she hugged him. She turned back to Alice and I.

"Looks like it's games. Let me grab my bag and I'll meet you out front."

"Sounds good."

She went inside and Alice gathered up the plates, all the while giving me her look.

"I don't want to know. Keep it to yourself."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I want the cards to fall as they will."

"Okay." She shrugged.

She took everything in and we waited for Bella. She came out a few minutes later. Alice went to help her, but I stopped her. She gave me a questioning look but I shook my head.

When she seen Bella walk down the steps and to my Jeep, she understood and nodded.

"We ready?"

"Yeap. Let me help you in." I opened the door and put her hand on the upper handle.

"Thank you." She said as she lifted herself in.

I closed the door and went to my side. I jumped in and started my Jeep, Audioslave blaring out of the speakers.

"I love this band. It's all I used to listen to."

"No way! These guys are awesome in concert."

"I know. They were in town before we deployed and the guys and I went to see them. Got autographed shirts and everything."

"Awesome. Awesome."

I smiled. This girl was so totally like me it's unreal. It was like she was meant for me. When I'm with her, it's like I'm supposed to be beside her.

The ride to the house was full of Bella singing, Alice rolling her eyes and me laughing. When we got to the house, Alice helped Bella out of the jeep.

"Need some help getting into the house?" I asked her.

"Just lead me. I have my stick so I can feel around. Need to get used to the place. I have a feeling I'll be here alot."

I smiled. "Alright. Let's go."

I took her arm gently and lead her up the path to the house. She felt of the steps and counted them. Once inside, she began on her own feeling her way around, finding the bathroom and kitchen.

"I'll get food fixed and then we can play."

"Sounds good. I'm going to use the bathroom and I'll meet you in the kitchen."

Alice waited until she was out of the room before she spoke. "What are you going to do about food? We don't eat human things."

"Don't you worry. I have stuff here. Don't ask why, I just bought snack stuff a few days ago."

Alice just raised her eyebrow and smirked. All I could do was roll my eyes.

"I hope you have junk food. I could use some while I listen to you play. Get my couch potatoe figure goin."

I laughed. "What you want? I have chips, cookies, DP, whatever."

"Chips and DP. You keep stuff like that in your place, I just may never go home." She laughed.

"You won't leave cause of my awesomess, runt. Not because I have junk food."

"So says the conceited Hulk."

"Hey!"

She just laughed and left towards the game room.

"Bring me snacks, Hulk!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"She already has you wrapped around her finger." Alice said in her fluttery voice.

"Shut up. I can't help it, Ali. I've got to talk to Carlisle about this."

"You don't have to." She sang.

I gave her a look to say hush before we walked into the room. I put Bella's snacks in front of her then went to my shelves.

"So, runt, what will it be? Racing? UFC fighting?"

"Hmm. How about some Gears of War?"

My jaw dropped. Seriously? How have I not met this girl yet?

"You got it." I put the disc in and let it load.

"I so wish I could see. I would so smoke you."

"Girl please. I'm master at this."

"Yeah, okay. If by some chance I see again, I will beat you."

"Okay. We'll see."

For the next three hours she sat laughing at me for yelling at the game when I lost.

"Bella! Your dad is here!" Alice yelled from the living room.

"Coming. Well, this was fun. We will have to hang out again."

"Yeah, we will."

I walked her out to meet Charlie, who was in conversation with Alice.

"Hey, Bells. Ready?"

"Yeah. Alice, I'll be waiting for that trip this weekend."

"You got it. I'll text you."

The two hugged before Bella and Charlie left. I waved them goodbye before heading back inside.

"So?" Alice asked.

"So, what?"

She giggled. "Oh, Emmett. You're so thick."

"So I've heard. I'm going out for a run."

"Bye."

I left out the back door and ran for the woods. When I knew I was far enough from the house, I called Carlisle.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Emmett. Good to hear from you, son. How are you?"

"Good. You?"

"We are well. Where did you end up at this time?" He chuckled.

"Back in Forks."

"I thought you would."

"What do you mean?" I was confused.

"Well, we always knew there would be something pulling you back there. It was something we have known for awhile. Even Rosalie."

"Carlisle, I don't think it's something. I think it's someone." I admitted.

"Who would that be, son?"

"Cheif Swan's daughter, Bella."

"Hm. Tell me, what have you been feeling?"

"I don't know. It's like I need to be with her. She was blinded in her duty as a Marines. She is just like me, in almost everyway. I think she can feel me when I'm around. Like a pull to me."

"Interesting."

"Explain." Now I was very curious.

"I think what is going on is she may be in some way connected to you. Maybe in a way that if she was a vampire, she would be your perfect half."

Whoa! Is he saying what I think he's saying? "Carlisle, are you saying she could be my.."

"Yes, I am."

"This is crazy."

"You cannot push her. Let things go the way they are going now. In time, her pull will be stronger. Let her feel it, then she will know."

I took a deep breath. I had to wrap my head around this. "Thanks, Carlisle."

"You're welcome. Call me if anything shall happen."

"Will do."

I hung up the phone. I took off for my spot while I thought over everything. In just under a week, my life has already turned upside down, and I was beginning to enjoy it.

**A/N: :) All Emmett! Hope you enjoy! Thank you for the reviews from the last chapter. So glad to see everyone is enjoyin my story. I'm beginning to get more ideas. So, stick with me.

:) Huggs!**
