Emmett's Precious Jewel

A/N: This is a double posting to make up for all this time I've kept you all waiting. So please make sure you read chapter 22 first. I hope you enjoy and as always please review, it makes my day.

Emmett’s POV:

     When we finally reached the main house I felt like I was losing my mind. Jule still hadn’t moved, and I didn’t know when or if she ever would. I asked Carlisle where he wanted me to put her and he told me on the couch for now so he could check how much she has mended if at all. While I waited for my father to tell me how my mate was I looked around to find Jule’s mother close to the door. She seemed nervous, and frightened, which made me angry. I growled, “You can come, we are not the ones who have lied to you, nor do we have any interest in it.” She seemed shocked by my words, but after a moment she did walk farther into the room.

    Carlisle stood up and smiled at me as I quickly knelt down next to Jules head. “She seems to be completely mended Emmett, I wouldn’t be surprised if she woke up very soon.” I just nodded, I couldn’t take my eyes off my mate. She looked so peaceful, and I prayed Carlisle was right and she would wake up soon. Jule’s mother came closer, “You really do love her don’t you.” It wasn’t a question but a statement. I nodded my head anyway. “Alex never once looked at me the way your looking at her.” I didn’t know what to say to her, I felt bad for her in that moment. I watched as Jule’s eyes fluttered and smiled when she spoke, “That’s because he wasn’t a true mate. He doesn’t have the ability to love like my family does.”

Jule’s POV;

    I started hearing things a little at a time. Then I heard my mother’s voice, “You really do love her don’t you. Alex never once looked at me the way your looking at her.” I was unbelievably happy to know she was here, and I felt I owed it to her to say something. “That’s because he wasn’t a true mate. He doesn’t have the ability to love like my family does.” When I opened my eyes my mother looked both shocked and relieved. “I’m glad you came here mom, I have so much I need to tell you.” She still seemed a little unsure but she knelt down next to Emmett so she could hold my hand, “I’m listening, tell me anything.” Just as I was about to start talking Emmett’s phone began to ring. He took his phone out of his jeans pocket and looked at it confused. “What’s up Rose?”

    I knew I wasn’t completely healed because I couldn’t hear Rosalie. Normally that would be simple so I listened to what Emmett was saying so I would know what was happening. “Is he alright?” he nodded a little, “Yes she’s fine, she just came to.” He looked at me, “I don’t know if you should, she came back with us.” At that point I pulled on his arm, “What’s wrong?” Emmett looked at my mother and then at me, “He saw it and he is really upset. I can hear him crying and he’s upstairs. He doesn’t believe your alright.” I smiled at that, my little lover. “Tell her to bring him here. If I’m going to tell my mom everything, she will find out soon anyway. He needs me.” Emmett smiled and told Rosalie they could all come back to the big house.

    My mother looked at me and Emmett and back again. “Who are you talking about, what’s going on?” I looked around at my family, and took a deep breath before I started talking. “Mom there is a lot you need to know about my new family, and I am going to tell you everything, but in just a minute someone is coming and you need to know about him first.” I paused because I was scared, and nervous, and I was worried about Liam after what he saw. “Mom, before I was turned into a vampire Emmett and I had a baby. Emmett’s brother Edward and his wife had a daughter in the same way, she will be here soon too. You have a grandson, his name is Liam. He is half vampire, half human. He is very warm, his heart beats faster than humans, and he drinks blood. He grows rapidly, he was born just three days ago, but he looks much older and he has already begun to talk.” My mother just stared at me for what seemed like forever before she talked.

    “You have a son? I have a grandchild?” She looked at Carlisle then, “My grandson, that’s who you had to deliver.” Carlisle smiled, “no, our grandson.” My mothers lips slightly turned up into a smile. “How is this possible? I don’t understand any -” She was cut off by the sound of my poor baby wailing, I knew they weren’t quite here yet, but I could hear my sons cries loud and clear. “My mommy, my mommy. No rose. Mommy, My mommy.” He was screaming my name, and crying hysterically, it broke my heart. I moved to sit up so he wouldn’t be worried when he saw me. I wanted to run to him, but I still needed time to rest. Just as I got myself in an upright position the door opened. Liam’s head was buried into Rose’s shoulder. “Look Liam, there she is, just like I told you.” He whipped his head around and pushed away from Rosalie, she was in front of me in a flash. “MOMMY!” He had such a huge smile on his face. I hugged him as tightly to me as I could without hurting him. He grabbed onto my shirt with all his might, it was his way of telling me he wasn’t leaving my side anytime soon.

Emmett’s POV:

    When Rosalie brought Liam through the door I felt terrible for him, he was so upset.  When he saw Jule his face lit up with joy. He screamed her name and hugged her so hard his little face was scrunched up with exertion. I felt so much better that we were all back together. I rubbed his back and he turned towards me. “Daddy, my daddy. My mommy.” He continued holding onto Jule but reached his hand out to me to pat my shoulder, it seemed like he needed to make sure we were both really there. Only when he got a confused look on his face and asked, “Mommy who dis?” that I remembered Jule’s mother was in the room. I turned to look at her and she looked as if she would be crying if she could. Jule smiled at him, “Liam this is your grandma. This is my mommy.” He looked at Elizabeth, and then at Jule and back again, “Your mommy?” He asked. He didn’t look convinced. Then he looked at Esme and pointed, “My grandma.” We all laughed, and I tried to explain, “Yeah buddy that’s your grandma too,  that’s my mommy, and this is mommy’s mommy. So they are both your grandma, alright?” He looked at me like I was lying to him then hen he looked at Elizabeth, “My grandma? Your mine?” Elizabeth’s face broke out into a huge smile, “That’s right sweetheart, I am all yours.” Liam smiled again, “Dat’s good.” He patted her cheek with his little hand, and then snuggled in closer to Jule.

    I looked at Elizabeth, “I believe you just got the Liam stamp of approval.” I looked at my mate and my son, “What do you say we get this guy some lunch, and then we can all sit down and finally talk.” Rosalie was out of the room and into the kitchen in a flash. When she came back with Liam’s special bottle,  she didn’t try to take him, she just handed the bottle to Jule and sat down next to them. Jule got Liam settled on his back and held the bottle while he drank. Normally he held it himself, but he wasn’t letting go of us, so his hands were tied up. After a few minutes his sucking began to slow and his eyes closed. This was as good a time as any to explain things to Elizabeth.  “Carlisle, would you mind starting the explanations, I’m sure you would be the best at explaining how we live, since you are the one who came up with it.”

Carlisle’s POV:

    I wasn’t surprised when Emmett asked me o explain things to Elizabeth, and I was happy to do it. She had been told many lies from her mate, and I think it is way past due for her to get some honesty. “Well Elizabeth, I suppose I should begin by explaining our way of life. I was being honest the first time we met when I told you I was a doctor, and that I work with humans. We all interact with humans every day, and have for many years.” I took a brief pause to make sure Elizabeth was alright with what she was hearing. “How do you stand it? I couldn’t even be in my daughters room for more than a second. Just enough time to look at her and drop off a note when I could sneak away.” I chuckled, “It’s not without difficulty, however we do not live off of human blood. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, our eyes are a very different shade from yours. We live off animal blood. It keeps us strong and satisfied enough that we can live a relatively normal life around humans. That is how my son Edward and his mate Bella came to be, and my granddaughter Renesmee. It’s why Emmett was able to be with your daughter, and how our little Liam was created.”

    I could tell she was trying to process the things I was telling her, so I continued. “We are more humane since we live off animals. It makes us capable of forming very strong bonds of love. I do not consider this my coven, this is my family. My wife, daughters, sons and grandchildren.” She closed her eyes for a moment, and spoke with them still closed, “I never knew there was another way to live. Although, even if I did, I don’t know if I would have chosen it over Alex. I suppose I should have realized it since I met Alex around humans. He said he loved me, took me to his cabin and bit me. When he told me what I had become and what he was, I felt I had no one else. I was miserable because I left my daughter behind, but I wasn’t strong enough to be around her.” I could tell she was hurting, this was not an easy story for her to tell. “I kept leaving you notes so that you would stay away from vampires. I didn’t want you to lose your life like I had. It wasn’t a life I would have chosen had I known.” I looked over to Jule and she looked shocked, “So you didn’t choose him over me? You really didn’t know what he was?” Elizabeth gasped, “Oh Jule of course not, you were my baby, my entire world. I never would have left you, never.”

    I waited for a few moments and began talking once again. “Elizabeth, most vampires live the way you and your mate do. As far as I know, my family and our extended family who lives in Alaska are the only ones who live off animals. However, I think you need to know that Alex knew of our way of life. He kept it from you to keep you from your daughter.” Elizabeth looked confused, “How could you possibly know that for sure?” I cleared my throat, “My family is very gifted, a few of them have gifts, one of which is hearing every thought in a person’s mind. Edward, would you like to explain?”

Edward’s POV:

    I could hear Elizabeth’s thoughts, and I knew I was the best to explain the gifts myself and my family have. “I can hear the thoughts of everyone in this room, except my mate’s. Bella is a shield, and unless she lifts it from herself, I can’t get into her mind. For example, right now your thinking I sound crazy, and that you have never heard of vampire’s having gifts.” She gasped, “You really can read minds. What else can you all do?” I chuckled and continued. “My daughter can touch someone, and show them anything she wants. Alice here can see into the future, Jasper can control emotions, Little Liam here can also see into the future, but it’s still too soon to know how strong it will be.” She held her hand up to stop me, “Your telling me at 3 days old you know he has a gift?” I nodded, “Yes, at first I didn’t notice it, but it became very clear. If I couldn’t read minds it would have been a very long time until we figured it out I think. That’s also how we figured out  that Liam imprinted on Rosalie.”

    That was when she really got confused, she had a picture in her head of Liam walking on Rosalie and leaving imprints in her skin. “No, that’s not it. Imprinting means Liam has a very special pull towards Rosalie, and she the same. When he is an adult, they will be mates, he had a very vivid premonition about it.”  She seemed to shocked to speak, so I took the chance to bring something up. “While we are on the topic of gifts, Jule, I am fairly certain you have one as well.” She looked up at me like I had lost my mind, “I don’t have a gift. I think I would know.” I shrugged and walked over to Bella and whispered into her ear. She looked at me confused, but when I nodded she said, “My name is Esme Cullen.”  I looked at Jule, “Well?” She seemed a little shocked, “She got all red. I mean, it looked like she had red all around her body.” I smiled, “Exactly, it’s the same thing you saw just before you attacked Alex. That red aura tells you when someone is lying to you. I think subconsciously you figured it out and that is why you attacked him.” She looked at Emmett, and then down at Liam, “Poor little guy won’t stand a chance at getting away with anything.” With that the entire room broke into hysterical laughter.

    When everyone had mostly calmed down I began talking again. “So you see, that’s how I know Alex knew of our way of life. I also know that he wan’t our family killed, and he is hoping to find a way to do that. I don’t think he is going to just disappear, I have a feeling he will be back for revenge, and you Elizabeth.” She looked too calm, like a person who is about to snap from strain. “He’ll be back for me, and if I don’t go willingly, he will try to kill me. He won’t give up if he wants your family dead. I can’t let that happen. I think I should find him and stay with him, that will keep me alive, and all of you safe.” I could hear everyone’s thoughts, no one thought Elizabeth should do it. Her thoughts were strong, and she had made her decision. I looked to Jule and felt horrible for her, she looked as if she had just lost her mother all over again.
