Please note: that this chapter is set way back in 1900's so when I mention the short dress at the knees- that was considered the socially unacceptable thing to wear at that time.
Title: A New Edition to the Family
Edward and Rosalie went out to hunt for the day. The two always went out together to hunt as were Carlisle's orders. Edward knew Carlisle's true intentions, Carlisle wanted the two to be together but he refused to be more than a sibling to the rather prissy Rosalie. If she wanted a guy then she could go find one.
Rosalie sighed while waiting for Edward to finish up on his animal; she was always so angry that he never even showed any want for her. Every guy had shown her some sort of lust in her life and here is this guy claiming that he can't stand her guts. She even tried wearing the tightest clothing she could. She found a dress that went slightly above her knees and no sleeves and all he did was call her a 'whore' as she walked by him. Some gentleman- the girl who ends up with him would have to be either really really pretty or really ugly. Perhaps that was his problem, maybe he wanted a girl that was really bad looking, maybe he wanted to look like the better one. She figured it was that last one, seeing as how she was always being told about how great she looked by every guy.
Rosalie did appreciate that he had never shown any interest though; it was nice knowing that there was one guy out there who she knew would never hurt her like her 'fiance' did. If anything, Edward would kill the first person who would think of hurting her, literally all they had to do was think about it and he would be right there. When she first met him, she was weary of him and always stayed as far away from him as possible. If he came into the same room, she would get up to leave. Finally Edward sat her down and explained that he didn't see any want to be with her like she thought. He did see her as a beautiful woman but she wasn't his 'type'. It was a relief and yet…somehow she was upset. Every guy had shown an interest and now here was someone who said she wasn't his 'type.'
Rosalie thought of this kind of stuff while it was his turn to hunt. They always took turns on who ate next, it would be a bad idea if both hunt at the same time and a hiker happen to walk by just then. That wouldn't end well. It did tick her off that sometime he would let his natural instincts take over and get two hunts before he came back to his senses. Carlisle said it would take a few centuries plus some to be able to hunt and not lose some sort of control. She was a little different; she could come back to her senses pretty easily. Esme was the same way so they all assumed that maybe females were just better at that but it didn't explain Carlisle's ease at being near blood. Maybe Edward was the odd one out.
Rosalie's head snapped up when she heard a man scream in the woods. She looked to see her 'brother' still eating. She weighed the options and decided she would probably be back before he was done anyways.
Rosalie ran through the woods and stopped behind a tree to see a bear as it mauled a man. He seemed to be close to his late teens. She stared at the man, he had such pretty hair, it reminded her so much of a young boy she knew so far back- back when she was human. She stared at him as she held her breath, he was bleeding profusely.
She walked around behind the bear, the boy seemed to go limp- was he dead? No he was alive she could tell, but barely. She went up behind the bear as she used her strength to bring it down. She had to go against her instincts to eat the bear now so that she could focus on the man.
She walked up to him, still holding her breath, his breathing was labored- he was lucky to still be alive. She couldn't get away from his looks, he looked worried at her. She knew he watched her bring down that bear. "I won't hurt you." She whispered as she carefully picked the man up. "I will help you." She whispered as she walked through the woods back to where Edward was, he had to be done by now.
Just then, Edward jumped out right in front of her, "What are you doing?" he yelled before she could get a thought in her mind, "You can't just bring this kid home. Carlisle won't change someone else, I won't allow him."
"Leave me alone, you aren't the boss of me."
"I am older than you and I am telling you that you can't do this."
"He is hurt, he needs help." Rosalie whined back.
"Then kill him." They both heard the young teenager's heart skip a beat at the sound of that.
"I can't do it, he deserves a chance. Carlisle will try to help him."
"That kid is as good as dead and you and I know it. Besides your want to help has nothing to do with the kid." Edward snapped. "I can read your mind remember, I know what you are thinking."
"Then hear this." She yelled as she swore at him in her head and then ran off to their house.
"Get back here I am telling Carlisle about that one." Edward yelled following close behind.
"Then get out of my head." She yelled as she ran through the trees. They always fought like siblings.
Esme and Carlisle were sitting in the living room. Carlisle was reading a new book on a new scientific theory on what the liver could do. Esme was sitting beside him reading a Bible. Both she and Carlisle decided that if there was a chance they could make it right with God then they better give it a try and that included reading the Bible once in a while.
Esme sighed and Carlisle groaned as they heard the two coming closer.
"Those two act just like siblings." Esme whispered as she flipped another page.
"I didn't want them to act like siblings." Carlisle whispered back as they waited for the incoming fight.
"You can't play match maker and you know it." Esme told him calmly.
"Yeah, I know now. I just figured he would want to have a friend about his age." He whispered.
"Maybe you changed both of them too young."
"I was thinking that myself. They act way too immature." Carlisle looked at the door, "You may want to step outside; I don't like the smell of this one."
"I will stick around for a bit." She chuckled, "You may need rescuing if the two turn on you."
"Very well."
The door was smashed open with the two bickering while walking in. "There goes the door again." Esme whispered.
Carlisle got up and walked over to the two, "You guys…" he whispered as the two kept going.
The two looked at Carlisle at the same time both talking to him at the same rate and tone.
Rosalie was trying to get him to help the kid, Edward was trying to tell him reasons not to help.
Finally he had enough of this as he yelled, "Shut it!"
Both stared at him with mouths closed.
"What is going on? Why did you bring a hurt human here?" Carlisle asked surprised that the two could run all the way here while yelling at each other and not get overcome by the smell of the human. He was somewhat proud of them for that one.
"Carlisle, tell her that you can't change him." Edward said knowing Carlisle would take his side.
"You don't understand." Rosalie whined, "He was hurt by a bear. He needs to be helped. He needs you to change him." She said placing the man on the dining room table.
Edward was about to speak when Carlisle put his hand out as a way to say quiet, "Rose why should I change him?" Carlisle asked.
"That's the reason why you shouldn't, her reason is completely preposterous. It has nothing to do with anything." Edward said crossing his arms.
"Edward please." Carlisle whispered, "Go ahead Rose."
"He wants to live. If he could talk, he would say so." Rosalie said.
"How would you know- your not a mind reader?" Edward sneered as Rosalie stuck her tongue out at him.
"Edward, you are acting like a little kid. Please step outside for now." Carlisle said to him.
"No, I have a say in this."
"Rose you realize I can't change every hiker you find getting mauled by an animal."
"Go ahead Rose; tell him why this guy is special." Edward whispered.
Rosalie glared at him.
"If looks could kill." Edward whispered while smirking.
"Edward get outside." Carlisle told him.
"No, I have a say if we bring someone else into this family."
"Family? I don't see any family. I just see a spoiled brat who is used to getting his way all the time." Rosalie said staring at Edward.
"You want to fight? We can take this outside." Edward asked starting to walk up to Rosalie's face.
"Edward, out." Carlisle whispered as he pushed Edward back from Rosalie as the two growled.
"Come on, I can take her. Someone needs to teach her that she can't always get her way just because of the way she looks."
"Edward, OUT." Carlisle yelled, pushing him out the broken door. Carlisle then sat down, "Rosalie, why should I do this for this one man."
"I can't explain it to well. I guess mainly because he reminds me of an old friend's son. But I will take full responsibility of him. I promise that I will, I just see something in him." she added.
Carlisle sighed putting his face into his hands. "Rose, I don't know if…"
"What? Just because Edward thinks it's a bad idea- you can't do it? I know how this works, Edward gets whatever he wants and I just ask for one thing and I can't even get that."
"Look, you don't understand Rosalie. This is an endearing thing- but you told me yourself that if you could have had a choice when I changed you, you would have chosen no. Who is to say that this young man has the same views as you and Edward?"
"Please, just help him. Edward mentioned killing him and as soon as he did, the man's heart skipped a beat."
"Maybe we can ask Edward what this man is thinking and then…"
"NO!" Rosalie yelled, "He hates me, he will say whatever it takes to go against anything I want. You know as well as I do that he can't stand the thought that I live in the same house as him right now."
Carlisle looked at the bleeding teenager as he thought of the options. It was obvious that this teenager couldn't survive as a human.
"Please." Rosalie begged. "I need someone to talk to besides that cold Edward. I need someone else who won't read all of my thoughts."
Carlisle nodded, "alright, I will do it but this will be the only time."
Rosalie jumped up and down then hugged Carlisle, "Thank you."
"I am out of this family." Edward yelled from outside.
"Good go." Rosalie yelled back.
Carlisle just finished what he had to do as he looked at Rosalie. "Rose be nice to Edward. You know how he feels about this kind of thing."
"I will remember this if he ever wants you to change someone." Rosalie shot back, "I will vote no against it- I will promise on that one."
"Won't happen because I won't be the selfish one." Edward yelled from outside.
"Get along for once." Esme spoke up from outside as she smacked Edward behind the head. No one could tell when she got outside.
Rosalie knew this was the start of a new beginning as she sat by the man, that she came to know as Emmett, until he was fully changed. She spoke to him, explained what was happening much like Carlisle did to her. The only thing Emmett remembered through her whole speech for the three days was a simple sentence that she repeated for some time, "And you better be stronger than Edward so that someone can bring him down a notch."
That's all he had to remember as almost sixty years later, he was still pinning his older brother down to the ground and he could hear Rose in the background laughing happily while cheering him on. He lived for when he could hear her laugh and see her smile.
Fin
I am trying something I have never done before which is a whole bunch of one shots in one story. These one shots will be based on Emmett and Rosalie through their lives together and how there relationship grows. I don't really care too much for the characters but I really wish the Twilight books would have told a little more about each character's past, including relations with others, mainly because you can't know their true character until you know their past. We know very little about each character's past. Maybe that's why I am such a Lost fan, you know every character's past from start to finish.
Anyways, these chapter/oneshots will be coming out slowly due to me being at college and I have my own novel I am working on (which will never get published but its fun to do)
Please review and let me know what you think!
