When Im wi'th You

Chapter 1: A Decision

The hospital room was extremely quiet, a beautiful blonde woman was sitting up in her hospital bed, the yellowish bruises were evident on her arms in the hospital gown she was wearing. Her hair was a mess and slightly damp with sweat.

Despite the healing injuries on her body, young Rosalie was sitting in her hospital bed with a bundle in her arms. A small smile appeared on her face as she held the tiny baby's hand. "Hi there," she whispered quietly cradling her child close to her chest. When the door opened, Rosalie pushed a strand of hair from her face.

"Hey Rosalie," her sister, Bella, greeted, walking in.

"Hey Bella," she answered.

Then Bella's twin sister, Alice, hurried in with a smile. "Rosalie I got here as fast as I could. Oh! She's so beautiful!" Alice exclaimed in a whisper when she saw the sleeping baby in her sister's arms. Rosalie smiled as she held her daughter's tiny hand.

"What is her name?" Bella asked smiling.

The oldest Swan sister let out a sigh as she looked at the sleeping baby in her arms. "Margaret Renee Swan, call her Maggie for short," she replied.

"So perfect!" Alice said excitedly.

"Does…" Bella started.

"Royce knows, but he's very unhappy," Rosalie replied.

Rosalie smiled down at her daughter with a sigh. "She's beautiful," a voice commented. She looked up to see her father there.

"Dad…" she said surprised.

Alice carefully took the baby into her arms as Charlie walked over and hugged her daughter. Rosalie hugged him back, letting out a deep breath. "Oh Rosie…" he said quietly, rubbing his daughter's back.

"I'm sorry dad, for everything," she told him her voice shaking as she spoke.

Charlie hushed her gently, kissing the side of her head. "Are you okay Rosalie? Really?" he asked, pulling back, his hands on her arms.

"He's gone, dad, Royce is gone," she replied.

She swallowed hard as she showed him the healing bruises on her arms. "He found out that I was pregnant with Maggie…" she started.

"Where is he Rose?" he asked.

"I don't know I got to the hospital and told them everything because he was going to try to do it again," Rosalie replied.

He let out a sigh. "That's it, you're coming back to Forks," he told her.

"No! I'm not going back to Forks," she answered.

Rosalie took Maggie back into her arms. "And I won't go to Jacksonville with mom either," she added. She looked at her sleeping baby. "Royce will find us there," she insisted. Rosalie rocked back and forth with her daughter in her arms. "Royce took two lives from me, I won't let him take a third from me," she insisted. Charlie stroked his daughter's hair, kissing the top of her head.

"Where will you go?" Alice asked.

"Seattle," Rosalie replied.

Charlie kissed the top of his daughter's head, rubbing her back gently.

Two weeks later, Rosalie was sitting in her new apartment with her sleeping baby in her arms. Maggie had just finished nursing and was resting her tiny head on her mother's chest. She stroked the top of her head, kissing her forehead softly. "Mama loves you," she whispered gently. She continued to rock back and forth in the rocking chair while staring at the sleeping child in her arms.

Later that day, Rosalie was walking through her apartment with the baby in the crook of her arm. Maggie was sleeping with a pacifier in her mouth. Maggie let out a little noise, her eyes opening a little before drooping back closed. Rosalie hummed softly as she started boiling some water for her tea. She pushed her blonde hair over her shoulder with her free hand.

Moving into the living room, she sat down as she started to take a sip of her tea while having Maggie rest in her lap. "Mama's baby girl," she cooed softly. Maggie was looking at her mother with sparkling eyes as she kept opening and closing her eyes. "You're tired aren't you pumpkin?" she asked stroking her cheek. Rosalie kissed her baby's forehead as she sat back against the couch. She held the baby's hands, smiling as she looked at her miracle child.

All Rosalie ever wanted was to be a mother. It broke her heart both times that she lost two other baby girls because of the evil man she used to call her boyfriend. She let out a sigh as she looked at Maggie to see her falling back to sleep again. She kissed her daughter's forehead again before holding her close to her chest as sleep claimed her as well.
