Here's the chapter of the 'Happier' story. I'm really glad I didn't end this story like I was going to last month ;)

End of Part 22

Esme put on her jacket and handed Rosalie one before turning to face Carlisle and I.

"Now be nice, remember he's new and doesn't fully understand anything yet." She demanded.

Rosalie looked from me to Carlisle and back before coming over and kissing me softly. She then walked back to Esme who was smiling from ear to ear. I heard something about 'perfect' and 'love' but couldn't make out anything else.

I stood there for a few minutes after they left, watching the door. I knew I would be fine without her but I had spent every moment of the last few days with her and for some reason I felt like something was missing when she left.

"Emmett son, why don't you come sit down." Carlisle said motioning to one of the chairs in the sitting room.

I knew that this conversation would be very important. I had quite a few things I wanted to discuss with him, and I really wanted to know if we were leaving and if so would I be able to back and say goodbye to my family?

Part 23

I went and sat in the cream chair that was across from Carlisle, he smiled at me as he set down the book he was holding.

"So how are you feeling?" He asked.

"Well, I feel better then I ever have. I am confused about a lot of things still." I explained.

"Yes, I forget how hard it is when you are new. I feel like I should explain things, but first did Rosalie explain things to you?" He wondered.

"She didn't tell me your story, but she told me about how you found Edward alone and dying. You were alone for quite some time before you found him correct?" I asked.

"Yes, I was alone. Being alone is very hard when you live like we do, my loneliness was wearing me thin when I found Edward dying of the Spanish flu. His mother and father had already died and he was very near to death. I know it was selfish but I couldn't be alone any longer and he was so young. I took him back to the house I was staying in and changed him there. He has been with me since, I don't think that he hates me but for a long time I hated myself." He said as he looked into my eyes, sadness showing on his face.

"Next I found Esme." He said as he smiled, you could see how much he loved her by just the way he said her name.

I smiled at him as he continued. "Esme had been in a horrible marriage. Her husband was a horrible person who did unspeakable things to her, things that we do not discuss." He said, the anger now building in his tone.

"Esme had a baby boy, he got sick with a lung infection and died. When he died he took the only happiness that she had in her life, she went to the tallest cliff and jumped." He said quietly.

I closed my eyes and thought of my sisters. A few of them were mothers, I know how strong that bond was from day one and I could not imagine any of them loosing their child, or what it would have done to them. I was lost in my thoughts when Carlisle continued again.

"I was working in the Emergency room that day, they brought her in and she had no heart beat. I was wheeling her to the morgue when I heard her heart beat. She looked so angelic, so perfect. I took her out the back door and back to the house that Edward and I lived in. I turned her that night, and we have been together since. She is my other half, I feel like we were meant to be together, like God brought us together for a reason. Speaking of God..." He said as he smiled at me.

"I believe you have some explaining to do about a God comment." He said, the smile pulling at his face.

Just as I was about to answer his question Edward walked in the door. He hung his jacket up in the closet and walked into the room with Carlisle and I, sitting on the couch next to the chair Carlisle was sitting in.

"Edward, where have you been?" Carlisle asked.

"Let's just say I couldn't stay here last night, there were too many...thoughts that I didn't want to hear." He snickered as he looked at me.

It took me a second to realize what he was talking about. Rosalie had explained that he could hear things and after what happened last night. Oh..I wonder...Oh no he heard what we were doing.

I quickly looked down at my feet and was instantly embarrassed. I heard both of them laugh, Edward got up and came over punching me in the arm.

"We all have needs Emmett, I just didn't think it would happen that fast." Edward joked.

"You and Rosalie are really quite a pair. She's happier then we have ever seen her." Carlisle added.

I smiled a little at both of them, it made me feel so good to know that I was making her happy. I hope that she really felt a fraction of what I was feeling towards her.

"Now Emmett, what was the God comment." Carlisle asked.

"Ohhh well I was explaining to Rosalie how I thought that she was an angel when she found me. I was convinced that I was dying..or dead when she came into my vision. All I could see was her face, her blond hair framing her face." I said as I lost my train of thought. All I could think of is how she looked last night, the lines of her body.

"Emmett!!" Edward said.

"Oh, sorry. I was convinced that she was taking me back to heaven, that was my last thought as she ran me back here. When I came to I saw her sitting next to the bed." I said once again thinking of how she looked, her perfect face, the perfect shape of her lips.

"EMMETT!!!! PLEASE!!" Edward yelled as he made gagging sounds. I heard Carlisle laugh, obviously he found humor in all of this. I made myself focus on the story, trying not to think about Rosalie.

"So, as I was saying. When I came to I saw her and then you Carlisle, you looked like a angel just like she did...well not quite." I said as I caught myself before my mind wondered too far.

"Nicely done." Edward said as he laughed.

"Carlisle I knew she was my angel, so I figured that you were God." I said quietly.

Edward started laughing so hard that he fell over sideways on the couch. I looked over at him and started laughing too, not because of what I thought but because Carlisle was now joining him in laughing.

"Carlisle....GOD!?" Edward said in between laughing fits.

"So that's what the God comment meant. Carlisle I do have a question." I said still laughing.

"Don't you mean 'God you have a question'" Edward said obviously enjoying all of this.

"Go ahead Emmett." Carlisle said as he shot a look at Edward who was trying to get himself back together.

"I heard everyone talking about leaving, and I was wondering do you think I could go see my family before we left..if we have to leave?" I asked.

"Emmett, this is the hardest part of being one of us. I'm sorry, you can't go back. Not now...not ever. Unfortunately your family thinks you are dead." He said quietly.

"They..They think I'm dead?" I whispered.

"Yes, Edward went to them and told them that your body was in town. That you were mauled by a bear and the body had been brought here to be identified. I'm so sorry Emmett." Carlisle said as he reached over to place his hand on my arm.

I was thinking about what I had just learned when I heard Esme and Rosalie walking into the house. I looked up at her with the heart breaking sadness in my eyes.

She took me away from my family, and now they all thought I was dead. I didn't know why but I had to get away from all of them, my family was probably mourning me. My brothers, sisters and parents...as far as they knew I was dead. I wouldn't get to tell them how sorry I was, that I didn't mean all the horrible things I told my father.

I stood up and ran out the door, running back into the woods as fast as I could. Ignoring all the people who were yelling or turning away from me. Running away from the person I cared about, away from the monsters who did this to me...and hopefully towards my family so I could explain everything to them.
