Chapter 1
RPOV
I woke up at five in the morning as I had done for the past ten years. I turned off my alarm clock and got out of the bed. I went into the bathroom and started the shower. After I took my shower I did my hair and makeup and got dressed before going downstairs to the kitchen and beginning breakfast. Just as I was sitting Emma-Rose's plate on the breakfast bar Emma-Rose came down the stairs. "Good morning Momma," she said as she sat down at the breakfast bar.
I poured her a glass of orange juice and said, "Good morning Sweetheart. Are you excited for your first day of high school?"
"Yes," she said in between bites.
"It seems like only yesterday she was starting kindergarten," Emmett said as he came down the stairs.
"Yes it does," I agreed.
"Good morning Daddy," Emma-Rose said.
"Good morning Princess," Emmett said and kissed the top of Emma-Rose's head.
"Do you want me to fix you a plate?" I asked him.
"No, I'll just have a cup of coffee and a banana," Emmett said.
"Ok," I replied and fixed his coffee and handed him a banana.
"Ok, well I would love to stick around and see you off to your first day of high school," Emmett said to Emma-Rose, "but I have to go to work."
"I know Daddy. It's ok," Emma-Rose said.
"You're so sweet," Emmett said and kissed the top of her head again. "Have a good first day of high school," Emmett said.
"I will," Emma-Rose said and continued to eat.
"I'll see you later," Emmett said and kissed me.
"Bye," I said and kissed him back and then he left. "Ok, so as soon as you get done we'll go over to Uncle Jasper and Aunt Alice's to get Jackson and Morgan," I said.
"Ok, I just need to go brush my teeth and I'll be ready," Emma-Rose said and went upstairs.
"Ok," I said and cleaned her plate and put it in the dish washer.
"I'm ready," Emma-Rose said when she came back down the stairs.
"Ok, let's go," I said and we walked out to the garage and got in the Navigator. I backed out of the garage and drove to Alice and Jasper's house.
When we arrived at Alice and Jasper's Jasper had already left for work and Alice was busy snapping pictures of Morgan, Jackson, and Christopher, Alice and Jasper's five year old son. "Oh good you two are here," Alice said when we got out of the car.
"Yeah, we're here," I said.
"Emma, get over there with Morgan, Jackson, and Chris and I'll take a picture," Alice said.
"Ok," Emma-Rose said and walked over to where the kids were standing. She stood next to Morgan and Alice took a picture.
"Ok, now Chris, come over here and let me get one of our freshmen," Alice said and Chris walked over to where she was standing. Alice took a picture and then said, "Jackson, act like you like your sister and cousin."
Jackson stood between Emma-Rose and Morgan and put his arms around their shoulders and Alice took another picture. "Ok Momma, can we go now?" Morgan asked.
"Ok, ok, Aunt Rose is going to take you three to the high school and I'm going to take Chris to kindergarten," Alice said. "Jackson and Morgan have a good first day of high school," Alice said before getting in her Audi Q 7 and backing out of the driveway.
"Ok kids; are you all ready to go?" I asked.
"Yeah," all three of them replied at the same time and began walking toward the Navigator.
Jackson got in on the passenger side, Emma-Rose and Morgan got in the back, and I got in on the driver's side. I started the Navigator and backed out of the driveway. "So, what do you have first hour?" Morgan asked Emma-Rose.
"I have AP English. What do you have?" Emma-Rose replied.
"I have AP English too," Morgan said excitedly.
"Jackson, what do you have first hour?" Emma-Rose asked.
"Um, I have English," Jackson said.
"You didn't take AP English?" Morgan asked.
"No," Jackson said.
"Why not?" Morgan asked?"
"Because I didn't want to," Jackson said.
"Why didn't you want to?" Morgan asked.
"Morgan, I just didn't want to take it," Jackson said hastily.
"Ok, sorry I asked," Morgan replied and she and Emma-Rose continued to go over their schedules.
"Ok, we're here," I said when I pulled up to the high school. I stopped at the curb and Jackson, Morgan, and Emma-Rose all got out. "Have a good first day," I said.
"We will," Emma-Rose said before closing her door. I watched as Jackson walked away from the girls and headed toward his group of friends. I watched as the girls walked over to their friends. I began to feel the same way I did the day Emma-Rose started Kindergarten. I felt sad and overwhelmed. My little girl was no longer a little girl but a young lady. I was brought back to reality when I heard a car horn. I put the Navigator in drive and drove off.
I went home and cleaned the house and did laundry. I always hated it when Emma-Rose went back to school. I was at home all day with no one to talk to. It always makes the house seem so big and lonely. I called Bella to see what she was doing and found out that she was helping Renesmee get settled at college. I then called Alice but she was in a meeting about her upcoming winter clothing line. I decided to go and see Emmett at the hospital.
I parked the car in the parking lot and went inside the hospital. Once I was inside I took the elevator to the fourth floor. I got off at the nurses' desk and asked for Emmett. It wasn't long before Emmett came around the corner and said, "And to what do I owe this surprise?"
He kissed me and then I replied, "The house seems so big and lonely without Emma-Rose there so I decided to come and have lunch with my loving husband."
"Well then let's go to lunch," Emmett said and we got on the elevator and went down to the cafeteria. After Emmett and I had fixed our plates we sat in the dinning area and began to eat. "You look sad," Emmett commented.
"Maybe that's because I am," I replied.
"What's wrong?" Emmett asked as he took my hand in his.
"It's just that we always wanted to have another child," I began.
"Rose, we've been over this," Emmett said.
"I know, but maybe," I began again.
"Rosalie, we tried when Emma-Rose was five and we never conceived and we almost got a divorce over it then we tried again when she was ten and still couldn't conceive and almost got a divorce. I don't want to go back through that," Emmett said.
"But maybe the third time we'll be lucky," I said.
"No Rose, I can't stand you getting mad at me because I can't impregnate you. We're one of those couples that were just meant to have one child," Emmett said.
"Ok, fine we won't have another child," I said disappointed.
"I'm glad that you understand," Emmett said and kissed my hand. "Just think about it; in a few more years Emma-Rose will be having children and we'll be able to take care of them."
"It'll probably be ten years before Emma-Rose even starts thinking about having children," I said.
"It'll be ok," Emmett said and then his beeper went off. "I have to get back to work. Are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine," I said and he kissed me before leaving. I put our trays up and then left. I went back to the house and continued to clean until time to go pick Emma-Rose up from school.
E-RPOV (Emma-Rose)
When we arrived at the school Morgan, Jackson, and I all got out of the Navigator and then went our separate ways. Jackson went over to his friends and Morgan and I went over to our friends. "Hey Morgan, hey Emma," Hannah Cummings, my and Morgan's best friend since I can remember, said. Hannah's mom and my mom had met at Dr. Hendrickson's office when Hannah and I were a month old. Hannah and I had the same birthday and became practically sisters as we got older. Hannah had three brothers that were older than her; Aaron, Tyler, and Logan.
"Hey Hannah," Morgan and I said as we reached her.
"What do you have first hour?" Hannah asked.
"We both have AP English," I said.
"Me too," Hannah said.
"Awesome," I replied.
"Hey Hannah, we go to the auditorium on the first day of school don't forget," Logan, her older brother, said.
"I won't," Hannah said.
"Hey Emma," Logan then said to me.
"Hey Logan," I replied.
"Hey Morgan," Logan said to Morgan.
"Hey Logan," Morgan replied.
"Alright I'll see you three later," Logan said and walked off.
"It's nice that he reminded you," I said.
"Yeah, he's afraid I'm going to get lost or something," Hannah said and we all laughed. "BTW I love your outfit Emma-Rose," Hannah said.
I looked down at what I was wearing and said, "Oh, thanks," as I remembered how long it had taken me to settle on wearing a pair of jean shorts, a pink ruched top with a seal on it, and a pair of white canvas peep toe wedge sandals.
"And I like your outfit too Morgan," Hannah said.
"Thanks," Morgan said as she straightened her skirt. "I like your outfit."
"Thanks," Hannah said. "So have you two heard about the new guy?" Hannah asked.
Morgan and I looked at each other and then said, "No."
"Well let me tell you he is super cute," Hannah said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Because he and Logan have been hanging out," Hannah said as the bell rang. "Well looks like we'd better get to the auditorium," Hannah said and we all walked to the auditorium. The rest of the day was spent filling out papers and learning what to expect that year. At the end of the school day my mom picked me, Hannah, and Morgan up and took us to our house. Jackson had football practice so he had to stay after school.
Ok so there you have it; Chapter one of the sequel to Hope. It'll probably take awhile for it to actually take off and begin to get interesting but please just bear with me. I really hope you like it and I really hope you review and let me know what you want to see happen. I would really love to use a lot of fan ideas in this story. Also if you have criticism I ask that you tell me and please elaborate on why you think what you think. I'll update as soon as I can.
