"Conveniently, I haven't had any emergency timing needs lately. I'll leave you to the rest of your newly-mated leave," says Bella, and she waves.
"Is something going to change when she's gotten to expect you to be all well-behaved, then?"
"Well, that's good then. It's never fun when the new mate and the old friends don't like each other."
He is definitely in a squishable mood right now. Getting fucked against a tree sounds like just the thing.
To be honest, the Joker is a little surprised when all is said and done (well, mostly done) and the tree is still standing.
"Didn't want to knock it onto the highway and cut off a lane of traffic," Nathan says when he sees the surprise on his mate's face. "Besides, it was serving as cover from prying eyes."
[Hi,] says Emmett. [Rose can't pay attention to anything but little Henry, so I get birth announcement duty. Little Henry: exists!]
[Hey, as long as I have you on the sort-of-a-phone, Nathan's New Mate, have you got an actual name? Bella just keeps calling you "the joker", like it's your title or something,] Emmett says.
[Nope,] he says serenely. [You can call me the Joker too if you want. Or you can call me something else.]
[He hasn't turned,] says Nathan, [so he's my mate, I'm not his. I mostly call him "babe", anyway.]
[I'm not gonna call him babe,] says Emmett.
[Good, me and your wife wouldn't like if it you did,] replies Nathan.
