Relentless (Jasper Hale) {UNDER CONSTRUCTION}

Forgive Me

"People stain us
in the most
beautiful and
haunting ways possible."

(Yes I know the baby in the gif is a girl but for the purpose of this chapter, she is now a boy👍🏻)

"Well done, Bella" Jasper complimented as him and Nixie walked up the steps after Charlie left. "Never seen a newborn show that kind of restraint."

"I'm not sure she is a newborn" Emmett teased, "she's so.. tame."

Nixie let out a chuckle at his words but was internally cheering Bella on for being able to keep her cool around Charlie, maybe Jake's idea wasn't so bad.

"Emmett, don't antagonize her" Edward laughed, "she's the strongest one in the house."

Both Emmett and Nixie's mouths dropped in offense, "excuse you" they echoed.

Emmett let out another offended scoff, "please." He cracked his knuckles with a shit eating grin.

***

Emmett carried the heavy boulder with no problem, slamming the rock in front of Bella and giving her a smirk.

"Don't hurt yourself, Emmett" Edward teased, secretly cheering his wife on and hoping she'd knock his brother down a few notches.

"This is gonna be good" Nixie whispered in Jasper's ear causing the vampire to chuckle.

Bella's dainty fingers wrapped around Emmett's hand that was easily twice the size of hers and they squeezed.

"Alright" Jasper called, "on three!"

"One."

Emmett teasingly loosened his hold, fingers spreading before one by one they gripped Bella's hand.

"Two."

Bella's eyes narrowed in determination, adjusting her stance for a better hold she shot Emmett a grin.

"Three!"

Emmett let out a grunt as he pushed down, arm shaking with the force he was using, while Bella barely flinched.

Emmett's muscles tightened as he fought harder, vein sticking out of the side of his neck while small growls left his lips.

Bella let out a chuckle at the look he was giving her, red eyes staring at their hands and she began to actually push back.

Emmett's eyes widened as his arm began lowering, Bella's strength outmatching his, he tried to push harder with no success.

Bella smiled as his hand got closer and closer to the boulder, giving one last push she laughed as his hand finally slammed into the rock, knocking off a few pieces.

"Ha" Nixie cheered, hopping around before looking towards Rose, "pay up!"

"Babe" Rosalie whined, "what the fuck?" Grumbles left her lips as she begrudging placed a $20 bill in Nixie's waiting hand.

"What the hell Nix" Emmett gaped, "you bet against me?"

"Sorry Em" she laughed, "but c'mon? Bella's a newborn what'd you expect?"
