Chapter 1: News

"Rose, come in, come in! It's so great to see you!" Vera stepped back as Rosalie Hale stepped past her. "So, what brings you here?"

Rosalie laughed at Vera's joke as she hung up her coat by the door. "Oh, now I remember! I did!" Vera pulled her friend down to the kitchen and began to prepare three cups of tea.

"So Vera, what is the big news?" Rosalie asked, getting the tea bags. At that moment, Vera's husband Tom walked in.

"Vera hasn't told you yet?" He said smiling as he approached his wife and leaned down to kiss her cheek. As Tom did that, Rosalie felt a strange hint of jealousy. How she wanted to have a husband to kiss her like Tom did to Vera.

Brushing the jealousy off, Rosalie smiled half-heartedly. "No, and I suppose you won't tell me yet either."

Tom laughed, "I would, but I'm sure that my wife here would throw a hissy fit at me for not letting her spill it to you."

Vera rolled her eyes playfully up at her husband. "Rose, be patient! I'll tell you as soon as we get into the main room with a cup of tea. All news needs tea!" She smiled, and picked up the cups. "So, you'll be happy to know that the tea is ready. Come, come."

Tom and Rosalie followed and they all sat down, picking up their tea. "Now will you tell me?"

"Fine! You are so impatient!" Vera said. "Okay, so are you ready?"

Rosalie sighed and nodded. "Yes! Just tell me already!"

"I'm having a baby!" Vera blurted out.

"A baby? That's great!" Rosalie felt her jealousy growing. She had always wanted to have a baby, and now here was her best friend, married and pregnant. "Wow. When did you find out?"

"Just yesterday. You're the first person to know." Vera answered, smiling with pure joy. "We are so excited for this!"

"Oh, wow! I'm sure you are excited! Are you hoping for a girl or boy?"

"We'll be happy with either."

After Vera said this, Tom came into the conversation. "Yes, we sure will." He said, smiling down at Vera.

"That's great. Do you have any names in mind though?"

"Well, for a boy name, we were thinking of Henry. And for a girl, we think that Mary would be a beautiful name."

"Oh, such wonderful names." Rosalie said, forcing a smile. She was still trying to fight down the jealousy. She could deal with it later, but now she was determined not to let it show.

Vera just nodded. "Do you have any suggestions of names?"

"Oh, if it were my baby, I would name him or her one of those names. But, I really should get going. My family will be wondering when I'm getting home."

Vera and Tom got up at the same time. "Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner?" Vera asked.

"Oh, I couldn't. It's getting dark and my parents would get angry with me." Rosalie headed for the door with Vera and Tom trailing after her.

"Okay, but you better visit again in the next few days, or I will hunt you down, Rose!"

"All right. I'll come when I have time. Bye."

"Bye Rose." Tom and Vera chorused as she left, closing the door after Rosalie.

As she walked home, jealousy washed over her like an ocean. Rosalie grunted angrily as she thought of how she should be the one with the wonderful husband. With the soon to be born son or daughter. Not the lonely, dateless girl who still lives in her parent's house.

"Rosalie? Where have you been?" Mrs. Hale's voice echoed through the house as Rosalie walked in.

"I was at Vera's house, mother."

"Well you're late for dinner! Get in here right now." Rosalie sighed as she shed her coat and gave it to a servant.

"Yes, mother. Sorry, mother." She said as she walked into the dining room and sat down.

"Just don't let it happen again." Another servant placed a plate full of food in front of Rosalie and she immediately began eating. "I have some news for you also, Rosalie."

"Really? What is it?"

"Well, you know your cousin, Elizabeth?"

"Elizabeth the brat?" Rosalie answered scornfully. "How could I forget her?"

"Don't you call your cousin that!" Mrs. Hale scolded. "Elizabeth will be coming tomorrow, and staying with us for the next two weeks. I expect you to be civil towards her as she will be staying with you in your room."

"Mother! Why must you torture me so?"

"There will be none of that Rosalie Hale. Your cousin is coming and that's that. End of discussion."

Rosalie scowled and finished her food without saying a word. She got up and turned to go to her room. "Good night, mother. Maybe if I go to sleep this nightmare will end."

"Rose, just try to be nice. It won't be that bad."

"You don't know Elizabeth then." Without another word, Rosalie went up to her room, and closed the door.

Author's Note: So, what do you think will happen with Elizabeth and Rosalie? Well, you'll have to wait to find out. I'll put up the next chapter when I get 3 reviews, so hurry and review! Bye bye!
