Chapter 12: You did what?

Bella’s farm Louisiana 1895, September

(Emmett’s POV)

I’m on my way over to Bella’s house to tell her some great news. Rose and I are having a baby! I’m beyond thrilled and can’t wait to tell her. When Rose and I got back from our honeymoon overseas it was the middle of the growing season so we didn’t have time to socialize with anyone. It was right to work. Her family gave us the farm and moved up north. When we got home some of the help was tending to the farm so we had to get right to work. Now that harvest was over I knew I could tell Bella our good news. Rose was only a few weeks along so she hasn’t been doing a lot of work but I was okay with that. I have been to town several times now and found out that Bella has a outstanding deal with David at the grocer so I will have to take our crops to the next town over. I have also heard that a man has been staying on the farm. That is nothing new to me. I knew Bella often put up traveler’s who helped out with the farm. I can’t wait to see my sister again.

I got closer to the farm and realized that no one was out in the fields. I wonder if Peter and Charlotte already did the seeding during the nights. I got closer to the house when I heard growling. Great what did Peter do now to piss off Charlotte. My brother always was an over zealous ass. I knocked on the door and walked in. I didn’t see anyone in the living room so I figured they must be in the kitchen. As I neared the door I could hear them more clearly.

“I asked her not to go by herself.” Peter said.

“No Peter you told her she couldn’t go by herself. Then you told her she couldn’t go at all and that we would take it.” Char replied.

Okay now I was confused what the hell were they talking about and where was Bella? I waited long enough. I walked through the doors and they both turned to me. Char looked murderous and Peter looked indifferent. Oh great marital spat.

“What the hell may I ask is going on here?” I asked the room in general.

“Well if you need to know your asshole brother here tried to tell Bella what she could and couldn’t do with her harvest and it didn’t turn out the way it should have and resulted in Bella getting attacked on her way home from town.”

“What do you say to her Peter?” I asked.

“I told her she couldn’t take the harvest to town alone. Then we argued and I told her never mind she wasn’t going at all and that Char and I would take it by ourselves that it wasn’t safe out at night. I reminded her that that was how Char and I got killed. When she turned away I got angry and grabbed her wrist. I may have grabbed her a little hard and the Major wigged out and put me in my place, then Bella turned and left to town with the harvest.”

“So your telling me that by arguing with her you made her late so she ran over with her appointment and was out after dark! And who the hell is this Major? Is that the guy that has been staying here, cause everyone in town is talking about it.”

“I guess it would be my fault that she ran late. Yes the Major is the one staying here, and the Major is….” he was cut off my another voice from behind me.

“Is right here.”

I turned around to see a man or should I say vampire, who was taller then Peter and me. He looked to be around 6’5″, and extremely muscular. Not gorilla big like me but big none the less. He had blond hair and red eyes. Damn this man was scary. He had a aura of pride and dominance around him. He was not someone others fucked with. Standing slightly behind him was Bella.

“Baby Bella!” I reached for her.

She shied back some from me and this Major guy growled at me.

“Bella honey what’s the matter? It’s me Emmett.” I said quietly to her.

She looked up slowly and took in my appearance. Then just as timidly stepped out around the big guy and walked to me. As she got within reach she launched herself at me and cried. I held her tight and turned towards Peter.

“What the hell happened to her?” I was pissed.

“Well because I held her up she was out after dark. On her way home she came across two guys who tried to assault her. She put up a really big fight and yelled for the Major here. He was close enough to her that he heard her scream and ran to her. He killed the two men who tried to hurt her. She hasn’t left his side since.”

“Thank you Major I don’t know how to repay you. As for you dear brother of mine, how can you be so careless. Bella has been takin care of everything around here by herself since you two disappeared. She took the harvest to town by herself, and has dealt with the business inside and out on her own. Where you ever got the idea in your head that you knew best is beyond me.”

“I only did what I thought was right.” Peter defended himself.

“Well you thought wrong.” I yelled at him.

Bella flinched in my arms when I yelled. Within a split second she was away from me and back with the big guy. He was holding her to his chest and growling in my direction. I held my hands up in surrender and he nodded.

“The Major is extremely protective of our sister Emmett.” Char told me.

“Why is that?”

“Uh can we talk about this later, I don’t want to upset Bella anymore and she has enough on her plate with getting past this episode.” Char asked.

I nodded in understanding and watched as the big guy carried Bella back upstairs. I waited till I was sure that Bella couldn’t hear us.

“Okay now talk. What the hell is going on?”

“Well Emmett sit down and I will tell you.” Char said. I was still to angry with Peter to even look at him and I think he knew it. He stood silently over in the corner of the room letting Char handle everything.

“Emmett I need you to promise me you will listen to everything before you speak okay?”

“Okay Char.”

“Well the night we left to go to sell harvest you know that we were killed… well turned right. Um.. The Major is the one that turned us.” To say I was speechless…well what could I say.

“We got close to him over the time we were there but when he was ordered to kill us he couldn’t do it. So he told us to run. Then we came here. Bella wasn’t meant to see us but she did and the rest is history right. We mentioned the Major several times and Bella came up with a plan for us to help him escape. So we put that into action back in July. You and Rose were still not home yet. Peter was gone a week, when he came back with the Major well I guess you can say that it didn’t bode well with Bella. They constantly butted heads and fought with each other. She actually made both of them sleep in the barn. Hell Peter is still sleeping in the barn.”

“So Bella and this Major fought constantly?”

“Well yes and no. They are both bull headed and beyond stubborn, but eventually they learned to co-exist to a point. Your brother on the other hand…well I would just be getting Bella to allow them to sleep in the guest house instead and he would go all sexist on her again and it would be back to the barn.”

“She always was hotheaded and when you bring her morals into question you best just step out of the way or be ready to have your ass handed to you.” I chuckled. I heard chuckling coming from upstairs and figured this Major was relaying the whole conversation to Bella.

“Yeah well, your brother here has been pushin Bella to her limits lately and apparently when he snapped at her the other day with the harvest, he grabbed her wrist and that set off the Major. He was raised to respect women and your brother must have crossed some invisible line cause the Major was there in the blink of an eye and put him back in his place.”

I could hear growling coming from upstairs. Wow he must really care for Bella.

“So I thought they were not getting along?”

“I guess they have come to some kind of understanding or something.”

“Come on Char you can’t lie to save your life, what aren’t you telling me?”

It got really quiet. Okay…

“Bella doesn’t know yet. The Major doesn’t either but now that you called me out on it he is gonna know.”

“What Char? Know what?”

Suddenly the Major was in the room with us also. Char suddenly seemed really nervous.

“Speak up Charlotte.” he said to her in a demanding tone. Hell his tone would make even the strongest of men quiver in fear.

“Major I didn’t wanna tell you, I wanted you to figure it out on your own.”

“Spill it.”

“Well Major you know how you said you were feelin that pain in your chest that night, and a pull in the direction of town?”

“Yes Charlotte now get to the point.”

“Well when I look at the two of you I can see your aura’s and well…your soul mates Major.”

It was suddenly very silent in the room I swear I could hear a mouse pissin in the corner.

“Are you sure?” he asked kind of shakily. I turned to look at him. He seemed almost in awe of this revelation. Like he couldn’t believe it.

“I am absolutely positive Major. That pull you feel is the Mating Pull.. And the pain you felt was her pain. You felt her pain when she was attacked.”

I must have looked completely lost cause Char looked at me and started to explain.

“I have a gift Em. I can see aura’s and can tell who your soul mate is. Your soul calls out to it’s other half. Well the Major and Bella’s souls are two pieces of a whole. As for the Mating thing, every vampire has one true mate. Peter is my Mate. I was lucky and found him while I was still human. Just like you and Rose. I have seen your souls combine together. You are one and the same. Two pieces to the same puzzle.”

“Wow.” was all I could say. This scary mother fucker was made for Bells. Well I guess I could see it. She could be scary as all hell too.

“Peter did you know about this?” the Major asked Peter.

“I wasn’t sure I had an idea that is what Char was thinking but I couldn’t be sure. Well not until the other day when you came after me. Then when you were restless the whole day she was gone into town. I just knew.”

“Neither of you found any of this of importance to tell me before hand?” he was getting pissed and raising his voice.

“Major I’m sorry. Like I said I wanted you to figure it out for yourself. I didn’t want to force anything on you. I didn’t know how you would take the information seeing as how your relationship started out on the wrong foot and all.” Char defended her reasoning.

“How could you keep this from me? Is this what you two were betting on?”

“What Bet?” I chimed in.

Peter and Char at least had the decency to look ashamed.

“Well Char bet Peter that your sister Bella would hand me my ass and I would take it like a good little boy and Peter didn’t listen and took the bet.”

“You did What?”

We all spun. There stood Bella, and she was pissed. Suddenly Peter spoke up.

“Sorry Bella I didn’t mean to underestimate you or anything.”

Ass! Was all I could think.

“That is all your gonna say Peter is you underestimated me. No Sorry Bella I was an ass for betting in the first place, or sorry Bella for fighting with you and keeping you longer then I needed to which ultimately led to you being out after dark and getting you attacked.”

Damn she was Pissed. Score Bella. Peter just got his ass handed to him.

“Sorry” Peter mumbled.

“Sorry isn’t gonna cut it Peter. I was lucky Jasper heard me scream and came to my rescue. As for you Char, did you win?” she said cheekily.

The resounding grin that spread across Char’s face was proof enough for her. Bella started laughing and turned to me.

“Emmett love I’m sorry about earlier I wasn’t really myself. How are you? How was the honeymoon? Where is Rose? Is she okay? Why isn’t she here with you?”

“Whoa Bella I will try and answer all those if I can remember them all.” I chuckled at her impatience. I saw the Major smile out of the corner of my eye.

“Well get to it Emmett I haven’t got all day”

“Okay. Okay. I’m fine, the honey moon was beyond belief, Rose is at home, yes she is okay, well actually better then okay, and she isn’t here with me cause she needs her rest.”

“Why does she need rest if she is better then okay Emmett? What aren’t you telling me?”

“Damn you and the Major are very alike.” Char laughed. I snickered at the truth of the statement.

“Well Rosie isn’t with me cause she needs her rest. Now she needs her rest because we are having a baby!” I was yelling by the time I finished.

Bella squealed.

“A Baby! Why didn’t you tell me this sooner. Oh I must go see her.”

“I was on my way over to tell you when I came in to hear Char reaming Peter a new one. Or you would have known already…and Who is Jasper?”

“Oh I’m sorry Emmett. The Major is Jasper, but only I can call him Jasper. Peter and Char don’t even call him Jasper.”

“huh.. Color me confused.”

“Well don’t worry about it. Now let’s go see that wife of your’s and my future niece or nephew. Jasper are you coming?”

He slightly nodded his head but didn’t say anything. We left together. We made it to the farm in no time at all. Bella ran into the house yelling for Rose. I laughed at her antics but didn’t say anything. I was stopped by someone clearing their throat. I turned toward the Major.

“Yes Major. How can I help you?”

“I know you are weary of me with your sister, but I promise you I will not hurt her or let anyone else hurt her either.”

“I have a feeling you won’t, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t worry.”

“I understand. Your sister is a special woman.”

“Yeah that she is Major. Shall we join the women folk or do you wanna stand on the porch all day.” I asked him.

” I see now that you all have that smartass wit about you.”

“Yes Major I’m afraid it’s genetic.” I laughed and ushered him into the house to the girls who were chatting happily in the lounge. Bella looked up at us and smiled.

“You two men done comparing your dick sizes now?”

My mouth dropped open at the bluntness of my sister. The Major on the other hand Laughed loudly drawing the attention of my wife who stared unabashed at the him.

“Rose close your mouth you’ll catch flies. This is Major Jasper Whitlock, the man I was telling you about.”

Rose blushed as the Major took her hand and kissed her knuckles.

“Pleasure is all mine Miss Rose. Miss Bella speaks of only the most wondrous things about you.” this made my Rosie blush.

“Well thank you Major.”

The conversation flowed flawlessly the rest of the day into the early hours of the night. Soon Bella and Rose were both yawning.

“Well ladies I say we call it a night and you two can catch up again some other time.”

“I agree Miss Bella we should be going.”

“Yes Jasper. It was a pleasure to see you again Rose, and I hope you do come see me again soon.”

“It will be delightful to come spend time with you again Bella it has been far to long.”

“Yes it has but for now we must say our good byes.” she leaned in and hugged Rose and kissed her cheek.

“Good bye for now Emmett and Goodnight.” she hugged and kissed my cheek also. I lead them to the doorway. Watching as he picked her up bridal style and then disappeared from sight. Well that was not at all what I was expecting from a visit to see my sister.
