"Thanks for the warning, by the way" Athena hisses at Emmett as she walks past him, her hair flying as she walks away from the stressed group in the living room, she is livid that they had kept it from her from just over a week-when Bella first called. Now she is expected to turn every solution upside down to keep Bella and the baby alive while trying not to kill Edward in the process.
And the last part on its own was enough trouble for her, never mind the living or dying stuff.
"I was going to but they knew how you'd react" Emmett replied in defence as he held his hands out to her, following behind her on the modern stairs, Athena shook her head to herself.
"So you would prefer that I feel it through my powers than actually finding out from you or one of the others?" Athena shoots back at him, causing his mouth to fly open and shut. "That's exactly what I thought, speak to me when your excuses are valid" and with that she walks into their room and holds her hand out before he can get in, successfully getting the door to slam in his face and lock out any vampires or even shifters.
Athena turns to her bedroom and looks at the messed up bed and all her warlock cookbooks that were threw everywhere and sighs when she realised they went though her stuff for a solution before asking her. "You know it's all charmed in a language only true witches and warlocks can read" She shouts lightly to the door, where she knows Emmett is sat beside, waiting for his welcome inside.
He hasn't even tried to get in yet, the moment the door shut he knew not to push her boundaries.
Her eyes trial along the path of books they spread around before they reach the one she desires most, her grandmothers journal, she picks it up into her arms and snaps it open. "Come on, there has got to be some weird mixed child you had, because there is no way that this hasn't happened before" She mumbles to herself as she flicks through the pages, but once again she's met with the same ending of not knowing what happens between her grandmother and the wolf. She throws it over to the bed in distress before her eyes scan around the rest of the books. "If we can't find answers then we have to gain them..."
Sometimes, there was moments where Athena wanted to slap somebody, this was one of those times. Riley had come along and opened up the door so that Emmett could see Athena face-to face, even if he couldn't step into the room. Seeing as Athena didn't actually want to be mad at him, she kept it open but his puppy eyes were annoying her."I haven't seen you in a week, how was Charlie's?" Emmett tried to start up another conversation as he watched her root through all her options, at the moment she was looking through possible spells to slow down the growth of the baby, that way they'd have more time to try and help Bella.
"It was fine Emmett, I could've been back a little sooner though if you weren't stopping me from coming back" Athena spoke back in her usual calm tone, ignoring the huff of defeat that followed.
"Please can I come in" Emmett pleaded, on his knees in the doorway. "You don't have to forgive me, but I need to hold you, please" He was begging her in this moment and she tilted her head as she analysed his actions, finally choosing to look away from her books that were scattered around her.
Athena slowly rose from her place, making him lift his head to follow her actions as she wandered over to him, she placed a hand under his chin and made him meet her eyes, watching him closely. "Hostibus est gratissimus" She mumbles, dropping her hand and walking back into the room.
Emmett scrambles himself up from the floor and throws the door shut behind him, quickly running up to where she's walking to her books again. He gathers her into his arms and throws her over to the bed, causing Athena to let out a loud laugh as he dives next to her and pulls her into his embrace.
"God, you're such a softie" Athena smiles at him, her eyes teasing as she looks up to his golden eyes, he just rubs his nose gently against hers and kissed her cheek before grinning down at her.
"Only for you, future Mrs. Emmett Cullen" He replied, smirking to himself when he managed to got rosy-stained cheeks in front of him, she turned around in his arms as she grumbled lowly to herself.
"Jesus, who said I would be taking your name? You're the one sinking to your knees for me" She shot back after her moment of blush, he snakes his arms tighter around her and presses a kiss to her in return to her teasing.
"Anything for you"
"So corny"
