Hello my lovely readers. This will be a fairly short piece, probably a three shot, about my version of what happened when Emmett proposed to Rosalie. I always pictured there to be a bit more to it than Rosalie just saying "yes". These two are my favorite couple, and I find them the most fun to write. Enjoy and please take some time to write a Review! (Even if it's a bad one!)
"Are you ready?" Esme asked me as she straightened the collar on my shirt. It was a big night, one that the entire family had been helping me to plan for the past month. One that would change my life forever, literally. They all knew how excited I was to finally get the chance to ask her. This morning, Edward couldn't feed me enough grizzly bears to even make a dent in the excitement that I felt about this day.
I nodded, and then followed her into the living room, where Edward, Carlisle and my beautiful Rosalie were playing cards. I swallowed nervously, and started to fidget as Esme joined Carlisle on the sofa. Edward glanced up knowingly at me, and I saw Carlisle give me an encouraging smile. I thought back to when I had talked to him and Edward about this whole matter only a little over a month ago.
Being a bit old school, I had wanted to ask for her fathers permission to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. Seeing how it was rather impossible to ask her actual father, I knew that asking Carlisle would be the next best thing. I also knew that it was highly unnecessary, but it was also how I was raised and it felt like the right thing to do. Edward had also gone with me to pick out the ring. I knew it was cheating a bit, but I wanted some help picking it out, and the person who had a direct access to Rosalie's thoughts seemed like the obvious best choice. I didn't really know anything about wedding rings, and neither did he for that matter, but he could see exactly what ring she wanted in her head, and just guided me towards the right one. It was pretty extravagant, for these times anyway. It was a princess cut, with two carats. The shopkeeper had nearly died when I said I wanted one that size, and almost fainted when I was able to pay for it all in cash that very day.
Bringing my mind back into the present, I slowly joined the family, and watched as they finished up their game.
Rosalie won, "Ha! Take that Edward," she said before leaning over to me for a victory kiss. It really was a victory when you won against a mind reader.
When we pulled apart, she noticed that the others were all looking at us with knowing smiles, although Edward's seemed more like a smirk than a smile. I knew that it was time for me to make my move.
"Rosalie," I said, standing up to get her attention. She smiled back at me, but said nothing.
"For all my life, I was always dreaming of this. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are my angel, my flower, my everything. You mean the world to me, no matter if the day is good or bad. For all my life I had always hoped to find that one special girl that I would love until the end of my days. With you, I found that girl. And thanks to you, I can love you forever and be with you forever. If you'll let me. I love you with all of my heart, and I will love you forever. So, Rosalie Lillian Hale, will you do me the amazing honor of marrying me?"
I starred at her when I finished, looking deep into her golden eyes. It had taken me a long time to decide what to say, and I usually never gave long speeches like the one I just did. Edward said that I had given him a headache due to the sheer number of times I had practiced it in my head. I looked back at my girl, I had just laid my heart out on a silver platter for her, and now all I could do is wait.
She had a sharp intake of breath, and then the whole room was silent for what seemed like an hour. Finally she spoke, and if she still had the ability to cry, I think she would have.
Her voice shook slightly, and she tore her eyes and hands away from mine. "No, I'm so sorry Emmett, I can't." Before I could say anything, she was running from the room, and I was too shocked to stop her. I could only watch as the body of the woman I loved retreated further and further into the woods. Arms wrapped around me as I sunk to the floor, stunned. Somewhere in my mind, I heard the sound of Edwards voice as he called after Rosalie and the whooshing as he chased after her. I just sat there, unthinking. I was broken.
So, there you have it. That was the first chapter, in Emmett's POV. I really hoped you liked it. As I said before, I always thought that there was something more to this proposal. You'll find out why in the next chapter. Part two is Rosalie's POV, and to finish I am planning on Part three being from Emmett's POV. I really hoped you enjoyed it and please Read and Review. They certainly help me to write faster…(HINT, HINT)
Up Next: We find out exactly what Rosalie was thinking in that moment, and also what exactly happened when Edward flew out the door after her.
