Twilight's Priestess (Emmett Cullen)

Chapter 25 Save the Date

Kagome and Emmett entered the house through her window again. Kagome was so excited that she wanted to tell her family right then and there, but Emmett pointed out that it was late and the news could wait until the morning. She disagreed but he gets her to go back to sleep anyway.

The next morning, Kagome wakes up with Emmett's arms wrapped around her. She smiles and stretches.

"Good morning, Babe, did you sleep well?"

"Good morning, Emmett, yes I slept incredibly well. Especially when I'm in the arms of my fiancé."

"Oh I love the sound of that." He says as he kisses her.

Kagome giggles and snuggles into his embrace, after a while he lets her go.

"Your mom's awake, it's time for us to get up."

Kagome groans, but does as he says. Crawling over him, she gathers some clothes and heads to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once she comes back, Emmett goes to the bathroom to shower and change. They head downstairs to breakfast holding hands. Kagome wants to see how long it takes for anyone to notice her engagement ring.

"Good morning you two, Kagome would you like some breakfast?"

"Sure, Mom, I'm starving."

Well, have a seat, I'll serve you."

Kagome and Emmett sit down with Souta and her grandpa sitting across from them. Akiko serves them all and sits down next to Souta. Her eyes automatically zero in on the engagement ring on Kagome's left hand, she smiles and looks at Emmett, whose chest puffs up with pride.

When Kagome reaches for some more rice, Souta looks up and sees the ring. His eyes widen at the sight and he chokes on the pickle that he had in his mouth. He reaches out and snatches Kagome's hand.

"Oh my gods, is that an engagement ring? When did you guys get engaged?"

Kagome blushes and giggles. "Last night when Emmett got back."

Souta jumps up and goes to the other side of the table, he gives Kagome a bear hug, "Congratulations, Sis, I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you, Souta."

"Yes, congratulations, Kagome, he may be a demon but he's not an evil demon." Her grandpa tells her.

Kagome and Emmett look at each other, "Uh, thanks Grandpa."

Kagome looks at her mother who hasn't said anything yet, but she does notice that tears are filling her eyes.

"Mom please don't cry, I know we should have asked you first-"

"Oh, Kagome Dear, I'm not crying because of that, Emmett asked for my permission and blessing last night. I'm crying because my baby is growing up."

Kagome gets up and hugs her mother, they both begin to cry. After a while they get themselves under control.

Akiko clears her throat, "Now let me see that ring."

Kagome happily shows her the engagement ring, Souta whistles when he sees the ring.

"That's a pretty nice ring, Sis."

"Thank you, Souta."

"Bet it costed a fortune." Souta mumbles.

"Souta! you do not ask such things." Kagome tells him.

Akiko laughs then stands up, "Come on, Kagome Dear, I have something to show you."

Puzzled, Kagome follows her mother. They go upstairs and head to the attic. Turning on the light, Akiko heads over to a large trunk in the middle of the room. She smiles at Kagome.
