CH. 29 (Emmett)

After I cleaned my wife up Alice put a new outfit on her and I sat in the room with her.

Occasionally one of the women would come up and bring the babies for me to feed or just hold for a few minutes.

I never left Red's side for a second.

Now it was the second day, already leading into the third morning.

Carlisle had come into the room with Edward.

"Just coming to check on you two." Carlisle said cheerfully, Edward smiling beside him.

I wasn't the only one excited for Reds transformation.

"Anything?" Carlisle asked Edward.

Edward looked beyond Red, I knew he was trying to hear her thoughts.

"She's making me hear my own thoughts as usual." Edward said with a smile.

I chuckled, even wrestling with the burning pain of turning into a vampire, she's still being hardheaded.

I grabbed her delicate hand and kissed it gently, I hoped she wasn't in too much pain.

Carlisle and I hoped that the medication he gave her after she had the babies would help a little.

He decided to inject more of the epidural medicine into her in hopes she wouldn't feel the pain of being turned.

We hoped Edward would be able to hear her thoughts and let us know if she was in pain or if the medicine worked.

But of course she was being difficult not wanting to let us in, and that worried me. Because when she tried to be strong was when she was usually in the most pain, so sadly I'm guessing the pain medication wasn't working.

I looked back over at my father to tell him what I thought, but Edward caught my eye.

Edward's previous smile slowly began to fall and his eyes grew wide.

I jumped up from my seat sensing that something was wrong.

He was hearing someone's thoughts, and judging by how his eyes looked glazed over he was seeing Alice's vision in his own head.

I began walking to the door to find Alice. But Edward's voice broke the silence and snapped me into attention.

"Don't leave her side!" Edward growled.

I was confused but did as he said and went and stood next to my wife's laying form.

"What is it son?" Carlisle asked cautiously.

Just then Alice and jasper bolted into the room.

"It's Rosalie," Alice said panicked.

I growled, "somebody explain."

Alice was so terrified plus holding little Katrina so Edward started talking.

"Alice saw Rosalie in the woods, There was snow all around So I'm judging she's still here in Alaska somewhere. She was pacing, angry. Debating whether she should go back to Italy and tell them that we are making another half breed. Or coming here and kill Elle herself."

By the time Edward finished talking everyone was in The room.

I was pissed, I was breathing heavily and my mouth was pooling with venom.

Rosalie had crossed the line too far this time, she was threatening my little family now, and I would do anything in my power to protect them.

Edward nodded his head in agreement to my thought.

"Esme my dear, why don't you sit with the babies while they have their nap." Carlisle suggested.

Alice helped Esme take the kids downstairs into a room they converted into a nursery.

Once Alice returned we began discussing potential plans.

"Whatever we decide, I'm not leaving her side for one minute while she is in danger." I said saying my peace.

Everyone around the room agreed.

. . . . .

(Rosalie)

"That stupid bitch!" I snarled.

I couldn't believe Emmett had moved on from me, as if he could do better.

I've seen the girl, she seems rather bland just a boring red headed giant.

Emmett moving on shocked me, but what broke my cold heart was seeing that the bitch was knocked up, with MY Emmett's baby no less.

I growled just thinking about it.

I knew I had to get that skank out of the picture if I ever wanted Emmett back.

I contemplated on what to do, but ultimately I knew I couldn't decide on my action, I knew exactly how Alice's visions worked.

So I acted on impulse.

I took off back to the house that my former family now calls home.

Once I got to the house I cleared my mind, knowing not to think of anything or Edward would hear me.

I surveyed the outside of the house and saw the entire bottom floor was pretty much dark with the exception of one room.

There were more lights on, on the second floor and the entire third floor was pitch black.

I walked up to the window on the first floor and saw the back of a rocking chair and a women, it looked like Esme. I got my answer when she stood up and left the room carrying something.

Knowing this family they never locked doors and windows, then again why would they need to.

Just like I thought the window was unlocked and I let myself in.

Time stopped.

All reasonable functioning was gone. Or I should say all reasonable functioning suddenly hit me, because right now I just realized how much of a lunatic I was being.

And all it took was seeing two beautiful chubby faced babies.

They were clearly Emmett's. For even in their sleep they had his deep dimples and mop of dark curls.

I couldn't fight the urge to pick one up and cuddle it to me.

I carefully picked up the baby that had suddenly woken. The baby was draped in a blue velour blanket so I assumed it was a boy, as was his sleeping brother.

He cooed happily at being picked up.

I knew right then and there I couldn't harm these little ones, they were Emmett's sons.

I left Emmett and he found someone to spend the rest of his days with, someone who also gave him what I never could, a real family.

Despite the jealousy, I knew that Emmett and I would never be together again, I'm not the one for him.

Just then Emmett walked into the room.

I figured he didn't want to startle the baby in my arms so he walked calmly toward me.

The slow and calculated action was more scary than if he would have run in here barreling his body at me.

He stood towering behind me.

"Give me my son." His deep, even, voice commanded.

I was terrified, I knew I had offend him and his children's mother and he had every right to be mad at me, but this wasn't the Emmett I knew.

"Emme-"

"Rosalie," he growled cutting me off. "Give me my son!" He snapped, raising his voice and causing the baby to whine.

I slowly turned and held the baby boy out to him.

Once the baby was securely in his arms he kissed the baby's dimpled cheek and gently placed him back into the crib next to his twin.

"What are their names?" I asked gently.

"Why do you care, I should fucking KILL you for even being here after the way you've treated my wife." He scolded.

'Wife' Emmett had married her? That same stab of jealousy rose up, but I knew I had no one to blame but myself.

"What the hell are you even doing here, because from what Alice saw, you were plotting some pretty messed up shit." He said angrily.

"Emmett I'm truly sorry, and congratulations on your nuptials. My head wasn't in the right place earlier, but seeing your sons brought me clarity." I admitted.

I sighed, "look Em, I'm happy that you've found happiness, And that you have a chance to be a father. Does it hurt knowing I'm not the one giving you that happiness, yes. But I know our story has come to an end. I wish I could undo all that I have done to you and your family but I can't so can we at least try to be civil and move forward." I suggested hoping he would hear the sincerity in my words.

"And then you go back home to your own husband?" He asked.

I nodded, I suppose it was time for me to be a good wife...Blake was always so kind and loving, he existed to see me happy and therefore allowed these random excursions of mine. It was time I actually gave my marriage a shot.

"Their names are Kellan Jasper, Killian Edward, and Esme has my daughter Katrina Elise." He said proudly.

"Wow, three" I said in awe. "Your poor wife." I said with a slight laugh in my voice.

He chuckled, it's been so long since I've heard his laugh or seen his smile. It made me happy to witness these things.

"Elle embraced pregnancy wonderfully and pregnancy suited her, she hardly sustained any injuries and the delivery went flawlessly." He boasted.

"I'm guessing she is upstairs turning?" I asked.

He nodded.

"I hear being a maker is an amazing thing, be kind to her, never hurt her. Trust me, I know first hand how it feels knowing you've hurt the one person you were suppose to protect."

Emmett was silent, I'm assuming he didn't realize I had caused myself physical pain by leaving him, I bet he thought he was the only one going through the Hurt and the heartache.

"I think I will be going now, thank you for telling me about your children. And as horrible as it sounds, I hope I don't see you again any time soon." I said smiling.

He smiled back "right back at ya Rosie."

I smiled even bigger as he used his old nickname for me

We hugged, it felt foreign to me, maybe because I knew now that he no longer belong to me.

It was at that moment, after we had spoken our peace that any attraction I once had, melted away.

I could love him as my turned and maybe even a friend but never again would I be in love with Emmett McCarty

Emmett saw me out the back door.

And I left, feeling the binds of an old love being cut loose. I smiled to myself, for the first time in a long time I felt happy.

The searing pain was gone.

The bubbling jealousy wasn't there.

The unjust hatred was Smuthered.

It was just me, just Rosalie.

And I was ok with that.
