I don't own it, just some of my original characters. But most all of it is Ms. Meyer's.
The first time my Father hit my Mother, I was five that time wasn't that bad but it got worse. Over the course of 3 years he went from just hitting to completely beating not only my Mother but me as well.
(But that's not the story I want to tell. What I want to tell comes after that. So I'm going to skim over the details. No one wants here about this part anyways, and honestly, I don't want to talk about it so on we go.)
When I was 8, my Father beat Mother too far and she died. He woke up after the alcohol wore off and realized what he did. He then took his own life.
This sent me into orphanage. My family was never close to my Father's side and my Mother was all that was left of her family. So there was no family to take me in, or no family that wanted me.
I did not mind being in the orphanage. I always wanted a big family so it was like that, kinda. After a little while, I started to feel very tired all the time. At first, everyone said it was just because I was living under so much stress all the time, but I never got better. So, Nancy, took me to see a doctor. After a whole lot of test, the doctors found out I had a brain tumor.
Nancy kept telling me everything was going to be okay, that the doctor that was doing the surgery was the best in the state. She even told me he was cute. So I didn't mind as much.
I never got to see the doctor before the surgery, but I some how felt safe.
The first thing I remember after the number 5, (When I was counting down from 10, I told them I was 10 and could count further down then from 10 till 0. But the nurse insisted that that was all I needed.) was that I should be asleep.
At first I started to panic but then I heard voices. I could not make out what they were saying and at first I was some how ok with that. It became to frustrate me after a while until I felt his hands. They were so cold but somewhat soothing. Like an ice cold cup of water on a hot day.
When I finally woke up, I got to meet the dreamy doctor Nancy told me about, Dr. Cullen. He made me call him Carlisle.
Well, Carlisle must have had pity on me or something because he would come in and sit with me all the time. I knew he had better things to do, and I told him to go do then. But he would smile and say, "Talking to you is the best thing I can do."
One day Carlisle came in with a really pretty lady, "Evelyn, this is Rosalie. She is going to sit and talk with you today. I am going to be in surgery all day, and since Nancy cannot come I thought you might like some company. And I have told all my family about you, and Rose really wanted to meet you." Carlisle said. Even though there were two nurses standing behind him very impatiently, Carlisle never spoke rushed to me. He always made certain I understood what was going on.
By lunch time, I never wanted Rose to ever leave me! I loved her. I was certain of it. She was everything I ever wanted in a big sister. She was funny, and she never treated me like a child, just a friend.
When night time came, and I knew she had to go home now, but I didn't want her to go.
"Please, stay with me. Everyone always leaves me here. I don't want to lose you, too." I said grabbing her shirt and bring her toward me. I knew she understood what I meant by that. I hadn't felt this close to anyone since my Mom. I mean Carlisle was great, but Rose was something else, better.
Rose stepped back, saying with a huge smile, "I'll be right back. See my coat and purse are still here, I can't very well leave without them." As Rose said this, she was walking backwards toward the door. I did not want to be a brat about this but sometimes you have to have your way.
I could hear Rose fighting with someone but I couldn't tell who it was. Rose finally came back in the room with Carlisle at her heels.
Carlisle was the first to speak. "Evie, how would you like to come and stay with my family and I, while you get better."
"Really? I could?!? You'd let me? Of course! Of course I would love it!" I nearly screamed it but I was so excited I did not care what the others thought.
"Alright, well you have to stay here one more night till lunch time tomorrow."
"Why?" I said stubbornly.
Rose spoke this time, "Because, Sweetheart, they won't let me take you till then. But I promise that at noon tomorrow you will be out the door. Even if I have to get my husband to carry you out himself," she said with a wink.
"Ok, deal!" Then Carlisle squeezed my hand. Rose kissed my forehead. And both told me goodnight and left.
I haven't felt this happy in so long. I didn't care if I had cancer or not. I just wanted to have five thousand more days like today. I decided to go to sleep quickly, so tomorrow would come faster.
Rosaline POV
"You see what I mean." Carlisle was the first to speak after we left Eva's room. I liked that name better, and that is what I am going to call her. She likes it, so that's all that matters.
"Yes, she not only looks like Emmett, but she talks and acts like him as well. I'm so glad we are going to bring her with us. She doesn't need to be there or in an orphanage. She needs a family who will care for her."
"Sounds like you're already won over to her."
"I guess my natural instincts have kicked in. I mean how could I not become loving and nurturing to a child that is so like Emmett?" Carlisle did not respond to my question. He only smiled as we pulled out of the parking lot back to home. And this was the last time, I would leave without her.
4:00am The Next Day
"Finally, did you guys have to go to South America to find game?" I said to Emmett, Jasper, and the other boys.
Emmett snickered, "I knew you'd miss me, but Baby, you couldn't wait two days?"
After hitting him I explained, "No Carlisle has been taking care of this little girl in the hospital, and I stayed with her yesterday. She is so much like you it's scary."
"Baby, I swear I didn't cheat on you." I hit him for that one too. Emmett likes to pick on me too much.
"Okay, alright. Let's go see this girl that looks like me."
"She doesn't just look like you. She is like your female version, only younger." Edward told him. Well maybe he'd believe Edward, doubtful but worth a shot.
I really didn't care if I made him believe or not. Eva could do that all by herself. Oh, I only had to get through another 4 hours and then I got to see her again. And only 8 and I could bring her here.
Emmett's POV
Rose was so passionate about me seeing this girl, that I hardly could help myself to not make fun of her.
Carlisle told me all that this little girl had gone through, and that is a lot even for an adult. But from as far as I could see she was handling it like I would. Ok so this is what I have. Well I'll make the best of it.
I was getting more and more excited. Mostly I think because Rose was getting more and more excited. After we got to the floor, Rose walked fast enough to make people jump out of her way. She was a woman on a mission, and God help anyone who ever got in her way.
Then she stopped dead in her tracks, whipped around, and with a huge smile, said, "This is it. This is Eva's room." Rose pushed the door open and walked in.
"She is still asleep. Just be quiet Em," Rosaline whispered.
I turned the corner and my breath caught in my throat. It was Mae. I knew it wasn't but this little girl looked exactly like my little sister. She was one of the only memories I eventually got back. Could this girl be related to me? Is she Mae's granddaughter? Ok probably great granddaughter.
That all it took. I looked at Rose and nodded. I was on board. Whatever this child needed, I was going to give it to her. No matter what the cost.
Rose came up to me a wrapped her arms around my waist. She looked so fragile. They had to shave off her hair, but she still has one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, ranking right up there with Nessie and Mae.
After about 5 more minutes in there, I needed to walk outside. I needed to talk to Carlisle, but I'd settle for one of my brothers. Jasper was the one to answer the home phone, so that's who I got.
"Jazz, I need your help."
"Sure, what do you need?" He sprung into protector mode. Like I'm sure I would with those 4 words.
"I need you to look up this little girl's heritage. Damn, I don't have her full name. I just have her first name."
"That kinda makes it a bit hard."
"Shut up, I know." Ok I would run back in there get her name and then tell Jasper. "Look up mine."
"Huh?"
"Go through mine and find my sister, Margaret. See if she has any living relatives and if any of them as a 10 year old girl named Evelyn. Call me when you find out." Hanging up the phone with that; I ran back in the hospital.
When I got back in the room, Eva was awake.
"Eva this is my husband Emmett."
"He defiantly looks like he could carry me outta here." She said with a sweetest voice, I had not heard for years. So not only did she look like Mae, but she sounded like her too.
I probably was looking at her weird because Eva and Rose started busting out laughing.
"I'm sorry, Eva. I…well you…uh, you just look like someone I use to know. It's like a memory from a dream." Then Eva started singing. She had a beautiful voice.
"Dancing Bears
Painted Wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December" She finished with a huge smile.
With a giggle she said, "Sorry, it was too easy. I've seen Anastasia so many times; its just was like second nature to bust out in song."
I knew I was smiling from ear to ear. She was amazing. She just found out she had cancer like a week ago. And here she is laughing and singing. This little girl was my hero.
Then when I was about to tell her all of this, my cell phone vibrates. After excusing myself, I answer the phone. "What did you find Jazz?"
"Well, no one named Evelyn is a descendant of your sister, but this girl is related to her."
"Huh?"
"You might want to sit down."
"Just tell me!! I'm not going to faint!" I was getting angry and I knew it but this girl was important to me now.
"She's your descendant. I called Carlisle to get Evelyn's full name, because I didn't want to throw all this on you if it wasn't her. But it is."
"To have her be my…then I would have had to have a child which I didn't."
"Tyler, your son, was born just about 8 months after you were changed, Em. You fathered a child before you were changed. And he went on and continued lineage. Tyler's daughter was named Lily. She was Evelyn's mom. Emmett, you are Evelyn's great grandfather."
Ok this just spiraled out of no where but the weird thing is I have the whole story for this one planned out; my other story, not so much. So I probably will update this one more. This will take a couple of different turns, but I think you'll like it.
