A/N: Wow, I haven't written one of these things in forever. First things first [even though it is entirely redundant and offers me no legal protection at all] I do not own Twilight. The Twilight Saga belongs to Stephenie Meyer. Anyway, I recently reread the Twilight Saga just to see if I liked them as much as an adult as I did as a teenager. Surprisingly, my opinions haven't changed. I still can't stand Bella. But I loved the rest of the characters, especially the Cullen's and Jacob's pack. This led me to go on a fanfiction binge which in turn helped me discover that there is a distinct lack of Rosalie and Emmett fanfiction. I don't why. Maybe it's because Stephenie Meyer didn't spend much time developing other characters besides Bella, Jacob and Edward. Or maybe it's because Meyer doesn't like Rose? Either way, I made the decision to write this. Worse, I made the decision to write from Bella's POV which in itself, makes me cringe. This isn't even good writing but I did try and fix all of the mistakes. Hopefully, I caught most of them.
I didn't know that much about Rosalie and Emmett. I knew they were in love. I knew that they were married for all intents and purposes. I knew Rosalie wore a wedding ring on her finger. I knew Emmett wore a matching gold band on his finger. They told anyone who asked they were promise rings. The Cullen's and I knew better.
I knew Rosalie was narcissistic, vain and self-centred. I knew she was passionate and that it didn't take much to anger her. I knew Rosalie treasured humanity and all that came with it. She loved fixing cars, playing the piano and reading to her husband in her soft, melodic voice. She loved shopping almost as much as Alice did, much to Emmett's chagrin. Rosalie was fiercely loyal to her friends and family. She would stop at nothing- and I mean nothing- to protect them. I knew that for a long time, I hadn't understood her. She could be bitter and cold. She'd never tasted human blood, a feat that was not to be ignored.
I knew Emmett was Rose's opposite in many ways. He was warm, kind and loving. I knew he loved to laugh and make others laugh. I knew he was cheerful and I knew he could be childish. I knew Emmett could be thoughtless and reckless; two things that frustrated Rosalie to no end. He enjoyed playing competitive sports and liked to wrestle with his prey. He liked to play chess with Rose and Jasper. He hated to play against Edward and Alice since their abilities allowed them to cheat. I knew he took joy in his life as a vampire. I knew he'd fallen off the proverbial vegetarian wagon once or twice.
When I transitioned into a vampire and became a member of the Cullen family, I started to notice a lot of the things I had missed as a human. There was a lot more to their relationship than the physicality of it. I also realised that the other Cullen's- Edward, Carlisle, Esme, Jasper and Alice- had made no efforts to correct my human assumptions. In fact, they'd encouraged them. What follows is a list of everything I've learned about them over the years following my transition.
