Chapter 2 ~ Kids will be Kids, so will Emmett

BPOV

I awoke from my nap to hear laughing and loud noises coming from the living room.

I walked out to see all 4 of them playing video games and junk food and drinks everywhere.

How long had I been asleep?

I looked at the clock, 3 hours. It was now 5:30p.m.

"Ahem!" I cleared my throat.

"Ah, mom, Uncle Em said it was o.k., I've been on my best behavior, I'm really sorry about running earlier, I was just so bored from sitting on the plane, I had to stretch my legs." Anthony said.

I smiled at him and looked at Jasper. "Has he been good?" I asked.

Jasper smiled at me and said "yes, he's been very good and he's listened, we had a long talk with him about running off and all, he promises not to do it again, right Anthony?"

Anthony shook his head yes.

I smiled, and went over to my lovely son and kissed his head and messed his hair, although it didn't need much help, it was just like HIS hair.

"Everyone needs to go get freshened up for dinner, put on something nice, there's a nice Bistro a few blocks away and I'd like to go there tonight." I said.

They all jumped up and cleaned their messes and I went to shower and change.

I walked out and Anthony said "WOW Mom, you look HOT!"

"Anthony Masen, what did you just say?" I asked.

"Sorry mom, you look really nice." he looked at his feet.

I glared at Emmett, knowing where he got that from and Kelsi just giggled.

She was so good and quiet, unless you got her mad, then she was Rosalie through and through! This girl could through a fit and melt the coldest person's heart while doing it! She had long blond ringlet hair like Rosalie, but she had Emmett's crystal blue eyes and dimples.

Everyone was ready and we all walked kinda hand in hand.

Anthony, being the little gentleman we were trying to teach him, looped his arm for Kelsi to put hers through and I was in the middle of Emmett and Jasper, who tried to do the same, but with Emmett's massive size, it was kinda hard.

We arrived at the Bistro and it was a beautiful night outside, so we decided to sit out on the patio, better for the kids as well.

We ordered our food and while waiting, the adults talked and Kelsi and Anthony played I Spy.

About 10 minutes later, Anthony announced he had to go to the bathroom, a little to loudly.

Emmett smiled and said he'd take him.

EMPOV

I walked little Anthony to the bathroom and he got ooohs and ahhs from all the other diners, which was normal, he looked just like Edward. How Bella coped everyday, looking at this adorable child, I do not know, he was a clone, I swear!

I worried how Edward would react, once he knew he had a child. It's something he use to talk about all the time, he loved kids. I sighed and Anthony asked if I was O.K., that child was so perceptive, just like his old man. He often asked me questions about him, because it was so hard for Bella to talk about him without breaking down, so when he's have sleepover's with us or when he'd stay with mom and dad, we'd share stories with him, pictures and home movies, some even from our high school days, so he could see his parents in love. He would sometimes cry because he didn't know Edward, but we always told him he was away working and wasn't possible for him to see him, yet…

We finally reached the bathroom and Anthony went into a stall as did I, I told him to stand right in front of mine, if he was done first, he agreed, he knew the drill.

All of a sudden I heard a gasp and Anthony say 'You look just like my daddy!'.

I heard that familiar chuckle, my heart sank. SHIT was all I could think.

I hurried and finished, wanting to see for sure, but Anthony was talking 'damn smart kid!'.

"You look like your name is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!" I heard him exclaim.

The voice had a weak chuckle.

I slowly opened the stall door, to be met with those familiar green eyes.

Hurt, questioning, frustration, love, hope? All in an instant.

"Emmett?" he asked.

I gave a weak smile.

"Uncle Emmett, is it really him?" Anthony asked.

"Um, yes, it is Anthony." I replied.

"Emmett, What? How? What in the Hell is going on?" Edward demanded.

Just them, in walked Jasper and let out a "HOLY SHIT!"

"Guys, hello? Child!" I said.

"Sorry." they both muttered.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Um, I kinda live here, what are YOU doing here with Jasper and …this little one!" Edward was frustrated.

"We're on vacation, before the children start school." Jasper replied.

"Oh." Edward said.

"Jasper, take Anthony back, wait, no, he'll tell Bel.., never mind, stay here." I said.

"Bella is here?" Edwards voice caught and a small smile crossed his face.

"Yeah and she looks really beautiful tonight or as Uncle Emmett would say, HOT!" Anthony said.

Edward growled.

"Edward, it's not what you think."

"Rosalie and Alice are in Paris shopping, Bella hates shopping, so we decided to take the kids on a European vacation before they start kindergarten." I stated.

"I'm going back to the table, I'll tell Bella that Anthony has a stomach ache." Jasper replied.

I smiled and nodded.

Edward was staring at Anthony. "Is this who I think it is Emmett? Is what he said true? I mean fro Pete's sake, he's the spitting image of me, except for his nose, it's all Bella." Edward stated.

Emmett shook his head in defeat.

Edward had tears in his eyes. "Why? Why wasn't I told? I have fuc..rights!" he corrected himself.

Edward walked over to the bench and put his head in his hands. "Of all the low things to do, how could she keep this from me?" he was sobbing.

"Edward, it wasn't easy, we all kept it from you. We all know and Carlisle and Charlie were the deciding factors. We knew that if she told you, you would ditch school and go to community college and become a mediocre doctor, not the great one you've become and you'd resent her for that and she would in turn resent you. We were going to tell you when you came home for good, that way you wouldn't feel torn. Look how much you've accomplished , Edward. And Bella, man, she is one bad ass mom! She finished he Masters in 3 years! And started her own business, right after and she has raised Anthony here. She's done an amazing job! Esme and Carlisle bought her a place in Seattle, close to Rosalie and I and Alice and Jasper, we all live about 4 blocks apart, it's great. We've been a great support system for her. There's so much more, but not enough time. She…" I stopped.

"Emmett? Is Anthony o.k.?" Bella asked.

SHIT! DOUBLE SHIT! Bella was at the door.

"Um, yeah… he just has to poop really bad! Must have been all the junk food this afternoon, sorry!" I said.

"Damn it Emmett! I've told you about that!" she was pissed.

Edward was smiling at the sound of her voice and Anthony was enjoying the game.

"Mom. I'm fine, almost done." he acted like he was straining.

"O.K. baby, wipe good and Emmett better make you wash your hands!!!"

"Will do Bells!" I said shakily.

Finally she left.

I looked at my brother and knew he was still in love with her.

"You need to come with us to the table and join us." I said.

"No, I can't. I don't want to intrude." Edward sighed.

"Look, this one here (pointing to Anthony) will say something, so get it over with." I said with force.

"Fine, but answer this. Where you in the airport this morning? I thought I heard someone yell my name, without the Edward part."

"Yeah, that was us. This little on took off, dead sprint to the food court after getting off the plane, without letting anyone know. Jasper was after him, before Bella could finish saying his name." I chuckled, Anthony blushed, something else he got from Bella.

"Yeah, but why only use part of my name? Why didn't she name him my entire name?" Edward sounded hurt.

I chuckled. "Edward, she did. She just can't bear to say YOUR name, it hurts to bad and then she feels guilty." I replied. "His full name is Edward Anthony Masen Cullen." Edward smiled and held his arms out to his son and like he'd always known him, he wrapped his arms around his neck and hugged him. "I've missed you daddy and so has mommy!" Anthony replied.

I saw a smile creep across Edwards face and a tear roll down his face.

"O.K., how are we going to do this? She's going to freak out when she sees me." Edward replied.

"You don't know how true that is! This was her fear of coming to London. I'm the one that assured her it was safe, because you were over 60 miles away at Oxford." I chuckled weakly, knowing I was so dead.

Edward went to put little Edward down and he clung to him, "No, I don't want to let you go!" he yelled.

"O.K., I'll carry you back, but you have to promise to sit in your seat and be a good boy, when we get back to the table, got it?" Edward said. Little Edward shook his head yes. Edward was going to be the best dad, next to me of course.

We made our way out of the restroom and as I rounded the corner, Bella looked up, curious, looking for Anthony and then she saw them. Her mouth dropped open and Anthony has his head nuzzled into Edward's neck. Edward had a huge smile on his face, Bella rose and walked over to Edward and yanked Anthony away, who started to cry. "Remember what we talked about, Edward?" he said smiling to the little one. "yes daddy." and with that, Edward II went and sat down. Bella's mouth open again and fury spread across her face.

"Emmett, can you and Jasper stay with the children, I think Edward and I need to be alone for a little while." She snapped.

"Yeah, no problems, you've got your room key? We'll see ya later then, meet you back at the hotel." I said.

Edward held the door open for Bella, she came over to the railing and reached for her son, kissing his head and telling him to be good and she'd see him in a little while.

With that, her and Edward walked down the street with the most horrible body language I've ever seen, all coming from Bella of course, Edward was calm and relaxed. It should have been the other way around. I felt sorry for my brother, he had no idea! He'd just found out he had a son and he wasn't freaking out in the least!
