Since I have major writer's block with If We Ever Meet Again, I decided to publish this story now. I know you want me to update Heavy In Your Arms & Enough For Now but I also am struggling with ideas for those, but as soon as I come up with something it'll be written, promise!
Anyway, here's poll choice When I'm Alone.
Summary: Rosalie has a secret, not even Emmett knows about it. Before Rosalie was raped by Royce, she had just given birth to Royce's child. The Cullens move to Vancouver where Rosalie finds out her daughter is alive... and immortal. How will the Cullens react to Rosalie's secret?
Sorry I kind of changed the part where she is raped by Royce.
If you want me to continue, please review.
NOT BETA EDITED!

Prologue
"Congratulations Miss Hale, you have a baby girl." The Midwife announced as I heard my daughter's first cry.
"Let me see her." I breathed, reaching out to hold her. She nodded just as she was cleaning her up. As I leant back against the pillow, I realized how long I'd waited for this moment, nine long months of waiting and now I finally get to meet her. I looked up and saw the Midwife walking towards me with a bundle in her arms. I took her gently into my arms as I gazed into her sleeping face. "Hey baby." I whispered tearfully.
"Does she have a name?" My mother asked.
"Sophie." I whispered, "Her name is Sophie." I smiled.
"That's beautiful." My friend Vera gushed.
I frowned, "Do you know where Royce is? Does he know I've had Sophie?" I asked, of course my eyes never left Sophie's face.
"Your father went to get him." Mother smiled, stroking Sophie's cheek with her finger.
Just as she said that, the doors flew open as Royce ran in,"Rose?" He exclaimed. I smiled and looked up at him.
"This is Sophie." I whispered. He arms dropped to his side as he came to the bed, his eyes now on her. He was smiling, widely, unable to notice my new expression. "You smell of alcohol." I grimaced as I smelt it all over him. Why would he drink at a time like this?
"I had a few drinks after work Rose, nothing much, I promise." He kissed my cheek, but I wrinkled my nose in disgust at the smell. "She looks like you." He said, running his finger down her face.
"She has your nose though." I chuckled, softly touching her's with my finger. I looked at my fiancé and then down at my daughter. This is all I've ever dreamed of...
...
(5 days later...)
I heard Sophie screaming from her crib. I climbed out of bed and lifted her out, cradling her gently. "Mommy's here." I whispered to her, kissing her head. "You're safe, nothing can hurt you." Unfortunately, Royce hasn't been home much at all, in fact he has hardly seen Sophie since she was born.
"Rosalie?" I turned and saw my Mother standing at the door, I walked closer to her with Sophie now asleep in my arms. "You haven't been out of the house since Sophie was born, go show her off at the park, or maybe go see Vera, in fact she called by this morning to invite you over tonight." I looked at Sophie, "Me and your father can take care of her tonight, we'd love to spend some time with our granddaughter." She smiled.
"OK." I whispered, still sounding unsure and worried.
"It's okay to be worried, all new mothers usually are, but she's safe with us." She smiled and just before leaving the room she said, "Think about it."
I sat on the bed, and looked at Sophie, her eyes now wide open, "What do you think, should I go?" She whimpered a bit, and fell back asleep again. "I'll take that as a yes."
That evening, I did go to Vera's house. We talked about Sophie a lot and her son Henry, joking about how some day they could fall in love with each other and get married. But I left early, desperate to see Sophie as for some reason I felt sick with worry. On the way home, I heard men laughing and joking - they were drunk. As I got closer I recognised one of them to be Royce. I tried turning away, but he'd seen me. "Rose!" He shouted.
"Royce, are you coming home?" I asked as he pulled me over. "You haven't seen Sophie in-"
"My Rose!" He suddenly sang. "Isn't she beautiful?"
"Hard to say with those clothes on." His friend slurred. Now I felt scared, but Royce wouldn't do that to me, would he?
"Mm." Royce murmured, suddenly agreeing with his friend and trying to rip my coat off. I pushed him away, "No." He gritted his teeth and managed to rip the coat off, and then he ripped off my dress...
...
It was cold, painfully cold. All I could think about was Sophie, my beautiful baby girl and how she will grow up without a mommy. With tears pricking in my eyes I decided to shut them, waiting to die. But I felt two lift me up, was I dead now?
"I'll help you." The man said, just before I felt the worst pain I'd ever felt in my life. It was burning. I wanted to scream but I was too weak. Was this death?
...
(3 Days later)
"... she's almost ready." I heard a blurred voice. The burning had eased, but my heart was racing. "Anytime now." I heard it again. But suddenly, as he had said that, my heart stopped, and I didn't feel myself... I felt different. My eyes opened slowly as I took in the light.
"Miss Hale?" I didn't answer. I sat up carefully, able to see the two men properly. One was blonde and the other had bronze hair... but they were both stunning. "Rosalie?" I looked at the blonde one quickly.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Carlisle, and this is Edward." I glanced at the bronze haired one. At that moment, I remembered what had happened. Royce was drunk... he raped me... and Sophie, was she OK?
"Your daughter is fine." Edward suddenly said. My head snapped into his direction.
"How did you-"
"Edward can read thoughts," Carlisle said. I stared at him with confusion, but shook my head.
"I have to see her." I muttered, standing up.
"You can't." He said.
"Why not?" I snapped, my hands turning into fists.
"Because when I found you, you were so close to death that I turned you immortal." He said, I tilted my head in confusion. "Vampire." I simply said.
"I can't... I can't see her again?" I whispered. He shook his head apologetically. "Why didn't- Why couldn't you of just left me to die then?" I shouted. "Sophie is my life, and without her I-" I bit my lip and looked down.
"I would never let anyone die." Carlisle said sternly.
"Even if it's what they wanted?" He nodded. "Please, I just want to see her..." I whispered, crying tearlessly.
Edward looked at Carlisle and nodded. They waited until it was night, then they took me out to my old home. I made my way to the front window, looking in but trying to keep out of sight. After waiting a few minutes, I saw my mother walk into the living room, Sophie asleep in her arms.
"Are you okay?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm going to miss her, so much." I said tearfully.
"We have to leave now, Carlisle." Edward said.
"Rosalie," I couldn't take my eyes off her. "Rosalie, we have to leave." Carlisle pulled me away, my eyes never left the window until it was out of sight...
I know, it's only a prologue but the next chapter is set in present day (after Breaking Dawn) where the Cullens have just moved Vancouver.
So, review if I should continue.
