The Little Unexpected Things

You Did What?!

Emmett's P.O.V

After the jump, we decided we wanted to get married, they said.

It was during the spur of the moment, they said.

So, we did.

So they fucking did...

And in five... Four... Three... Two... One...

"YOU DID WHAT?" Alice screeched, horrified. Literally, she put to shame The Scream painting in that moment when they dropped the bomb on us. She stood on her feet and pointed a finger at them. "I cannot believe you two have the audacity to show your face here after what you did! How could you do that to us? Didn't you think we'd want to be part of your special day? What about dress shopping, food tasting... Oh my God... Oh my God, please don't tell me you were married by a horrible Elvis impersonator!"

"Not really, we were really bummed out about that," Edward said with a shrug.

Bella only chuckled at his side. They both really did not seem bothered by Alice's reaction at all, not even the children who are currently playing Minecraft on the TV.

"No, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening!" Alice cried out, pacing back and forth in the living. If anyone was going to be dramatic about this, it'd be her. "This is what we're doing, we're are planning you guys a real wedding! The right way! I don't care what you say, you cannot-"

"Who said our wedding wasn't real?" Bella asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Married at some cheap chapel in Vegas? Do you have any idea how many drunk people get married there and then regret it the next day?"

"Certainly saved us thousands of dollars on a stupid party," Bella points out sarcastically.

At this Alice gasped, horrified. "It's a grand celebration for your union that everyone gets to witness!"

"Alice, it's an unnecessary waste of money! Edward and I are completely happy with the choice we made. It's not all about big parties and thrusting our happiness into other people's face, it's the little things that matter the most, Alice."

But Alice wasn't having none of it. She turned to me and points at Bella. "She's your sister, say something! Why am I the only one upset about this?"

"What am I going to say? The deed is done." I shrug. "Shit happens."

"Shit happens? Shit happens! We're their family and they had us thinking their car had tumbled over the road on their way back because they didn't bother shooting us a text to tell us they wanted to elope to Vegas!"

"There is a reason why they call it elope, Alice," Edward says, his tone more annoyed now than it was before. "I don't get it. This could have been your reaction for when Bella told you she was pregnant, but that wasn't a big deal, wasn't it? And now that we finally decide to get married, you are pissed and scorning us like we're a couple of irresponsible teenagers? Why? Because we didn't want some stupid party?"

Alice stomps her foot on the ground and literally growls at her brother. "You are the worst." And proceeds to stomp out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Rosalie shifts on her spot beside me, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, that went well."

Bella snorts. "Trust me, telling Esme and my folks was a lot easier. It was Alice's reaction that had us a little worried."

"A little?" Jasper arched a brow.

"Okay, maybe we did consider not telling her the truth," Bella admits.
