CHAPTER THIRTY:
MEETING ISABELLA SWAN

THE NEXT DAY, THE air was very tense between the siblings. They sat in Rosalie's car―︎Emmett and Amelia in Emmett's jeep―︎ and watched as Edward arrived. He got out of his car and walked over to the passengers side, opening the door and helping Isabella Swan out of the car. Emma's jaw was clenched as she glared at the two. Jasper, though he was as upset as the others in the car, was forced to keep sending calming waves towards his sister so that she wouldn't jump out of the car and rip Edward's head off and then kill Bella.

The entire day was filled with Emma throwing glares at her brother and his new girlfriend. When they got home, Emma sat on the couch with a book in her hand. Her brother was sitting down beside her, allowing the blonde to lean a head on his shoulder. It was peaceful, but that was most likely because Edward wasn't home which allowed Emma to be calm and relaxed. When Edward entered the home, Emma immediately sighed.

"Well, there goes my moment of peace and quiet." Emma muttered, earning an amused look from her brother. Emma ignored the presence of Edward as she continued to lean her head on Jasper's shoulder, her eyes running over the words that she's already read at least three times.

"Emma, are you listening?" Edward asked.

"Nope." Emma bluntly replied, not daring to look up from her book. Edward glanced at Jasper who had put his book down, sending him a look that made Jasper roll his eyes slightly.

"If she doesn't want to listen, I can't make her." Jasper responded. Emma smiled at this.

"Emma." Esme sternly spoke, grabbing the blonde's attention. She looked up, looking at her mother who had a pleading look on her face. Emma sighed before closing her book and sitting up. She looked at Edward with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"What? What could you possibly want?" Emma asked.

"Bella is coming over-"

"Stop talking," Emma spoke. "I don't want to hear about your stupid human."

"I'm not asking you to like her, I'm asking you to behave." Edward spoke.

"Behave?" Emma cocked an eyebrow. She stood up from the couch and got closer to the boy. "You want me to behave around the human that made me almost lose control in the middle of our biology classroom. Sure, Eddie, I'll try my very hardest not to suck her dry, but I can't promise that I won't throw her through that glass wall if she even dares to look at me wrong. Is that what you want to hear?"

"Emma." He sighed. Emma rolled her eyes before grabbing her book and shoving past him, not caring about the eyes of her family following after her retreating figure. Emma sat in her own room, wanting a moment to herself as she continued to read. He was really bringing the human over to meet the family when he knew damn well that Emma could lose control and kill her. Emma didn't want that. She didn't want to become a monster again.

A knock was heard on her bedroom door but she ignored it and continued reading her book. She flipped the page and listened as her door opened.

"Emma-"

"Step foot in my room and I will throw you outside." Emma stated, not looking up from her book. Edward looked at his sister with a frown.

"All I'm asking-"

"I know what you're asking, Edward." Emma said, slamming her book closed as she finally looked up at him. She got up off her bed and walked up to him. "I told you at the hospital that I was not going to let her in with open arms, and I'm sticking by that. In case you don't remember what I said, let me repeat it for you. I don't care if she's your blood-singer, your mate, your girlfriend, whatever. Do not expect me to welcome her with open arms. Now, get the hell out of my room before I make you."

"Emma-" Emma shot out her hand, throwing the boy into the wall with a loud thud that grabbed her family's attention. She glared at him one more time before grabbing her bedroom door and slamming it shut.

☯︎︎☯︎︎☯︎︎☯︎︎

Emma leaned against the wall as she watched the other's prepare the food for Isabella. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she watched her wife hold out a bowl for Amelia to put the salad in. She had an annoyed look on her face that was close to Emma's except Emma had an annoyed scowl on her face.

"Is she even Italian?" Rosalie asked.

"Her name is Bella." Emmett spoke.

"That doesn't mean she's Italian, dumbass." Emma spoke with narrowed eyes.

"Emma!" Esme scolded.

"I'm sure she'll love it no matter what." Carlisle spoke, glancing at his children. Emma paused as she listened in, sniffing the air and letting out a growl.

"Here comes the human." Emma stated, her jaw immediately clenching as she tried to control the thirst. Edward and Isabella appeared and Esme removed herself so that she could walk forward to greet Isabella.

"Bella, we're making Italiano for you." Esme spoke. Isabella sent her a small smile.

"Bella, this is Esme, my mother for all intents and purposes." Edward spoke. Emmett raised his knife in the air, using it to wave at Bella which resulted in Amelia grabbing his arm and pulling it down with an amused smile on her face as she shook her head at her husband.

"Bon giorno."

"Molto bene!" Esme responded with a smile.

"You've given us the excuse to use the kitchen for the first time." Carlisle said with a smile as he walked up to his wife.

"I hope you're hungry," Esme said.

"Yeah, absolutely." Bella nodded.

"She already ate." Edward stated. Rosalie's grip around the glass bowl continued to grow until it shattered in her hands, the pieces falling on the floor.

"Perfect." Rosalie growled, walking away from the glass that now laid in the floor to stand beside Emma. Emma glared at the brunette for making her wife upset. Bella took a step back as she winced at the harsh glare.

"Yeah, it's just because I know- I know you guys don't eat." Bella quickly stuttered out.

"Of course." Esme nodded. "That's very considerate of you."

"Just ignore Rosalie and Emma, I do." Edward told her. Emma's jaw clenched.

"Yeah, let's just keep pretending this isn't dangerous for all of us." Emma snarled, her teeth clenched as she said the words. Amelia shot the girl a worried look from across the room, but Emma ignored her.

"I would never tell anybody anything."

"They know that." Carlisle says, looking at Emma and Rosalie.

"Yeah, well the problem is you two've gone public now so. . ." Emmett said, earning a slap from Amelia.

"Emmett." Esme sternly said.

"No, she should know." Rosalie said. Emma nodded in agreement as she glared at Bella. "The entire family will be implicated if this ends badly."

"Badly as in. . . I- I become the meal." Bella said. This retrieved amused smiles and chuckles from the family except for Emma who didn't think of that as a joking matter.

"Hi, Bella." Alice greeted as she and Jasper entered the home from a tree branch that dangled over the balcony. Alice continued towards Bella while Jasper stopped when he was beside Emma. Emma grabbed his hand, allowing him some kind of comfort whilst his mate was hugging Bella. "I'm Alice."

Alice took a step back with a smile on her face. "Oh, you do smell good."

"Alice, what are you-?" Edward asked, scrunching his nose up at his sister.

"It's okay." Alice smiled. "Bella and I are going to be great friends." Alice moved to be on the other side of Jasper while Bella nodded her head. Bella glanced at Jasper.

"Sorry," Carlisle spoke, "Jasper and Emma are our newest vegetarians."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Jasper stated with the small nod of his head.

"It's okay Jasper," Alice assured. "You won't hurt her." Jasper gave his sister's hand a squeeze, grabbing her attention. The two held a silent conversation before turning back towards the human.

Edward looked absolutely horrified at his family before he turned towards Bella. "Alright, uh, I'm gonna take you on a tour of the rest of the house."

"Okay." Bella nodded.

"Well, I'll see you soon." Alice smiled.

"Okay." Bella said before following after Edward. When she left the room, Emma immediately pulled away from her wife and started towards the balcony. Jasper followed after her and the two jumped down before entering the woods so that they could hunt.
