"Hey, Auntie Rose, can you tell my Dad that I'm going to stay over at Leah's tonight?" Renesme asked me in her sweet tone. I sighed in frustration. I hated the fact that my niece seemed to adore the wolves; particularly Jacob Black. He always says dumb blond jokes around me, that really AREN'T funny. And he smelt terrible!
"Why do I have to tell him?" I snapped at Renesme. Her delicate face pulled down in disapointment. I instantly felt mean.
"What I mean to say is why can't you tell him? I'm sure he wont mind!" Saying that, Edward actually was quite protective of Renesme ever since the Volturi came to try and destroy her.
Renesme moaned sadly, "Dad is mad at me for skipping school the other day. He wont let me go if I ask him. But if I leave now," she smiled deviously, "then it's too late to stop me!"My little Nessie, always the thinker, I thought affectionately.
"Sure, I'll tell him in about an hour, to give you time to get away. Just beware of Alice warning him!" I laughed care free. It was strange how content I felt around Renesme.
"She's already onside!" Renesme ran into the forest and turned back to face me, blowing a kiss, "love ya!" Renesme then disappeared from sight. I stood for a while, dreaming that my little girl would come bounding from the woods like her father, and hug me tightly. I clutched my stomach desperately. Why could I never have what I wished for so much?! I then decided I'd given Renesme enough time to escape and headed towards Edward's cosy cottage in the forest.
The love den of Bella and Edward was tiny yet welcoming. I was surprised that it hadn't fallen down yet! Edward jumped from the roof of the small home.
"Geesh Edward, you startled me!" I growled at him in shock. The vein in his head looked huge. He knew about Renesme going to La Push.
"Take it you read my thoughts." I folded my arms in defence. Naturally, Edward would take his fury out on me.
"Yes I did. Why did you let her leave! She isn't your kid! I have a duty to protect her!" Edward roared at me. His words cut me deep. My eyes glassed over, trying to let the tears pour.
"I want her to be safe too!" I yelled. Swiftly, I darted off away from him. He always upset me when he implied I didn't care. I cared to much, that was my problem. Bella was immensely lucky;a vampire and a mother! How unfair! I clenched my fists in grief and jealousy and pounced on a nearby deer. The blood helped make me feel a tiny bit better.
I desired a child though. That would never change. To be a human, grow old peacefully with Emmett by my side. That would NEVER happen now. I figured as I sat on the ferny forest floor that Nessie was somehow helping me come to terms with my lost humanity. Hell, I loved her like my own! How dare Edward have a go at me!
Emmett suddenly boomed into the clearing a knelt down beside me.
"Edward is sorry babes." Emmett stroked my hair tenderly.
"Maybe, but he has everything I ever wanted. Why can't he see that I care for Renesme too." I mumbled into my hair.
"Rosalie,"Emmett breathed in my ear, "your all I ever wanted." I smiled to myself as Emmett kissed my neck.
"Your all I want as your all I will ever have. My own one." I embraced Emmett tightly. It was true; although I would never have my own child, i still had Emmett. My soul mate. My partner and child too.
"I love you."we both whispered at the same time. The wind whipped past us as we lay together silently. I thought of my imaginary daughter, her blond hair curled messy around her face as she ran after Emmett. Goodbye my child, I have to let you go as you'll never be mine, I thought serenely as her image floated from my mind. Maybe now I could finally except my eternity and embrace it.
