Trapped in My Mind

Dad?!?

    Sitting on the couch I curl up into Emmett's side. "She's finally asleep." I say smiling up at my husband in content. Emmett reaches his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. "You make an amazing mother, did you know that?" Shrugging my shoulders and release a sigh. "I never pictured being a mother, hell I never thought I'd get out of the asylum until it actually happened." "I know what you mean, I never thought I'd be able to have kids or find happiness in this lifetime." Emmett says grabbing my hand and stroking his thumb across my knuckles. Smiling I lean up and press my lips to his in a sweet kiss. "I love you Emmett Cullen." I whisper knowing he heard me perfectly. "I love you too Aria Cullen." "Why don't we go for a hunt, I think Rose would like some time with little Whisper." Emmett suggests winking at me. Laughing I nod my head agreeing. "Let me go get Rose and then we can go." I say getting up from the plush couch. "No need, go hunt. I got the precious child." Rose says as she gracefully walks into the room an excited smile adoring her face. Shaking my head I laugh a little at the blonde's excitement. "Let's go then honey."

"Woo hoo!! Come on slow poke!" I yell laughing in pure bliss. "Oh you are so on! To the clearing?!?" Shaking my head I let out a yell of agreement and speed up, determined to win. I hear chuckling behind me as Emmett attempts to speed up. "Sorry babe, but it's going to take a little more than newborn speed to beat me." Emmett says before brushing past me towards the clearing. Shaking my head I push myself more and run right past him barely beating him to the clearing. Coming to a stop I cross my arms and smirk towards my astonished husband. "What? How? I want a rematch." He splutters out shaking his head. Laughing I walk towards him and wrap my arms around his neck. "Sorry babe, I'm just too awesome." Looking down towards me, Emmett leans down and captures my lips with his own. Kissing back I allow one of my hands to tangle itself in his short hair while my other brings him closer to me. His hands roam up and down my body before settling on my butt and squeezing. Letting out a moan I tug a little on hair I have captured in my grasp. Pulling away I lay my head on his chest smiling to myself. "That will never get old." I say. "You got that right. How about a second round huh?" Laughing I lean up again. 'Round two.'

"I can't believe we just did that out here." I breathe out as I attempt to fix my disheveled hair. "What time is it anyways?" I question giving up and just throwing it in a ponytail. "Uhmm 7:30 pm." Emmett says buttoning his pants back up and throwing his shirt back on. "7:30!! We left at 2!! Oh goodness." I exclaim shock lacing my voice. Emmett lets out a booming laugh as he wraps his arms around my waist. "I guess we lost track of time." shaking my head with a smile I pull away from him and begin walking back towards the house. "What're you waiting for! Let's go home!" I yell back. "Just give me a sec I am enjoying the view!" Emmett yells back, I swear if I could blush I would be bright red. "Emmett Cullen!" I yell, obviously flustered. Listening to his laugh I stop in my tracks and wait a second for him to catch up. Gripping his hand in mine we continue back up to the house. 'The true walk of shame'

Deciding to walk and not vamp speed home we took about twenty minutes to get back. Walking through the door I witness Bella yelling at Jake again and Edward holding onto Bella protectively. "Uhm what did we miss?" I question interrupting the heated argument. "Jake told Charlie about the wolves and is bringing him over in an hour." Edward spits, shooting a glare towards the wolf. "What was I supposed to do, you were gonna move away!" Jake yells. "Hold on wait. Dad is coming over!" I yell shaking slightly. "Oh no no no I don't know if we're in complete control." I say freaking out. "Even if they were able to control their thirst, it'll be like shoving burning hot irons down their throats." Edwards says making me swallow some venom and move back more into Emmett's embrace. "This will be better for Bella and Aria, they shouldn't have to leave behind their father." Jake tries to explain only to get a sarcastic laugh from Edward. "Don't even think that you are doing this for anyone besides yourself." He spits. "Well, I am sorry you think that way, cause he's on his way now." Jake says calmly.

"Okay so these might irritate your eyes a little bit." Alice says as she places in different colored contacts I our eyes. So after the whole Jake fight thing the family has been getting the two of us ready for our father's arrival. Which, surprisingly is going better than expected. I mean we do look humanish I guess. "Okay now let's try walking. You have to walk like a human so try walking very slowly." Alice says. Bella stands up from her seat and goes to walk to the other side to the other chair only to vamp speed to the other side. "We'll work on it." Esme says a gentle smile on her face. "Oh and don't sit so straight. Humans don't do that." Rose says as she balances Renesmee on her side. "Okay blink, walk, slouch. I think we've got it." Bella says. Suddenly the door bell rings. "It's time." Alice sings patting both mine and Bella's shoulders as everyone besides Bella, Jake, and I leave the room.

"Aria?! Bella!?" Sucking in a breath I put a smile on my face and grab Bella's hand tightly. "Hi daddy." I say waving towards the old man standing in front of us. "Oh thank god." He cries coming towards us only to stop a foot or two away. "You two don't change into-" he trails off gesturing towards Jake. Laughing slightly Jake walks past us and places a hand on dad's shoulder. "They wish they were that cool." He says before walking out. After he leave our dad brings us into a hug, clinging to us as if we'd disappear if he let go. As we all move away towards the couch I slowly feel myself start to loosen up. " Uh, Jake said that this... This was necessary. What does that mean?" Dad asks. Looking towards Bella, she gives me a nod. with a small sigh I decide to answer the best I can without exposing us. "we really think it would be better..." " I wanna know what happened to you two." Dad commands a look of despair and slight anger appearing on his face. "We can't tell you dad." I say sadly. "I think I deserve an explanation." He says stubbornly. I look towards Bell, my eyes pleading for her help. "You do. But if you really want one. We can't stay here." Bella explains calmly yet her posture stiff. "No! No more going away." Dad exclaims tears of anger pooling in his eyes. " Dad, you're just gonna have to trust that for whatever reason, we're all right. probably even more than all right. Can you live with that?" Bella asks. "Can I live with that? Well, I don't know. I mean, I just watched a kid I've known his entire life turn into a very large dog. My daughters looks like my daughters. But doesn't." Dad rants. "Can you please just believe that we'll tell you anything that you need to know?" I ask desperation clear in my voice. "And I don't need to know this?" He asks focusing on me. "No. Really, you don't." Bella says. "Well... Not gonna lose you again. I can't." Dad says giving in. "Then you won't. we promise." I say pulling him in a hug.

We talk for a few more minutes before Emmett and Edward walk in carrying our daughters. "Charlie, this is Renesmee and Jalisper." Edwards introduces. I walk towards Emmett and my daughter smiling up towards my father. "Your nieces?" he asks. "Our daughters." I say smiling. "Right. The adoption." He says walking towards Renesmee and allowing her to grab his finger. "Renee-semee? She's got your eyes, Bella. And Jal-lisper? She's got amazing eyes. Need to know, I guess." He states earning a nod from us. "Well let me see them then." He says happily taking Jalisper in his arms.

We waving goodbye as dad leave and I let out a breath of relief. "Well done, you two. I've never seen a newborn with that kind of restraint." Jasper praises nodding his head towards us as he wraps his arms around Alice's waist. "I'm not even sure they are newborns" Aron comments a smirk. "Don't antagonize them Aron, they're the strongest in the family at the moment." Edwards says. "Yeah! My wife will beat your ass!" Emmett booms, waking Whisper. Glaring at him I rock my baby back to sleep. "Emmett I swear to you if you wake her again I will beat your ass." I threaten. "Like they could beat me." Aron says his same smirk never leaving his pale face. "Alice. Take Whisper to her room please. I have to show a little cocky vampire his place." I say handing a jumpy Alice my baby.

"Are you ready." I ask as Aron places a rock down. "Oh definitely. Bring it Cullen." "On three. One. Two. Three!" At that sound we begin pushing each others arms. Looking him straight in the eyes I slam his arm down, cracking the rock as I do so. "Bella! You wanna try." I laugh as I skip away from the astonished vampire towards Emmett. "Bring it." she says taking my place. Finally coming back from his lost, Aron smirks towards my sister. "Okay that's fine. This time I will really win." He says making Edward stifle a laugh. "Don't hurt yourself, Aron" Edwards says smiling. "On three. One. Two. Three!" The two were steady for about two minutes before Bella suddenly got bored and slammed his hand down breaking the already cracked rock completely. "Did you see that!" She exclaims looking towards us a victorious smile on her face. 'I love my family so much.'
