I owe all of this idea to Stephenie Meyer. This story is a part 2 to my first fanfic, "That Girl". It may or may not make sense if you haven't read that one already. I'm a huge Emmett fan, and I do like Rosalie, but for these stories she just can't be with Emmett. Sorry to you Emmett/Rosalie lovers, but just know that I in no way am a Rosalie hater.

So, this story picks up right aftre the ending of "That Girl"...hope you enjoy and please review me!

That Girl, Again

1 New Beginnings

The snowstorm lasted 3 days. Although we live in the state of Washington, it was an oddity. We usually get snow, rain, snow, rain for a few days, so it all turns to ice and then that layer of ice just sort of continues to grow until Spring. This was an all out snow storm, with big drifts and businesses closed and people just generally holed up in their houses until they could hear the snow plows coming and then they knew it was over.

I spent that first day with the Cullen family. We played some board games(which Alice and Edward refused to participate in), and then went outside to play in the snow for a bit during a break in the storm. I soon found out that "playing in the snow" means different things to different people. For Alice and Bella and Rosalie and I, making snow angels and a snow man was fun.

For the boys, an all consuming snowball war soon broke out. They made bases. They had strategy. They were screaming at one another like you would hear on an elementary school playground. And they were having a great time. Until a snowball bullet hit Rosalie in the back of the head.

Rosalie had always been very quiet. She didn't say much. But hit her in the head with snow and she came to life! She went running towards Jasper and tackled him. Alice went running after her screaming, "Don't hurt him!". I just watched and laughed, seeing the two of them rolling around in the snow, screaming obscenities at one another.

Dr. Cullen came out and looked over at the them and then shook his head. He looked at me and said, "Those two again? Who do you think will win?".

"I'm guessing Rosalie. She's not going to be happy when she sees her hair when this is all over!", I joked.

Emmett walked over to me then, and laughed at what I had said. "You know Rose pretty well already!", he said laughing. "Let's go on inside and warm up, I think they're calling a truce, anyways." He rubbed my back and arms as we walked through the snow together.

We walked inside and took off the outer layers of our coats and mittens and hats. Mrs. Cullen had hot chocolate ready for us, and as we sat down by the fireplace, Edward and Bella came in and joined us. We could hear Rosalie storming up the stairs, saying something about stupid brothers who enjoy messing up hair and how gross snow was. We kind of laughed quietly and sipped the hot cocoa.

"Well, she'll be back down soon," Mrs. Cullen said. "Alice went up with her to help her."

"So what's the latest on the storm? Have they given any updates?", I asked.

"Last we heard, the storm has stopped moving and is sort of just sitting on top of us. They think another day or so and it'll move on. Did you want to call your neighbors, Carolyn? They're more than welcome to join us here, we have plenty of room and I hate to think of people with no electricity in this weather," she said to me.

"Oh, I think the Newton's are fine. I know they have plenty of wood and food, and they're used to camping and stuff...to them this is probably fun", I said, smiling. It was probably fun to them, they loved the outdoors/roughing it type of life.

"Are you staying here tonight, Carolyn?", Bella asked me. "It'll be fun to have another girl here. Then we'll outnumber the boys."

"Yes, I guess so....You stayed last night, right?", I answered.

"Yep, Charlie is stuck on call until the storm is over anyways, so he's at the station. He agreed that this was the best place for me to be." She kind of blushed when she said that last part, and looked up at Edward.

"Do you have your schedule for next semester, Carolyn?", Alice asked as she hopped into the room, joining us. "Rosalie will be down in a minute, she and Jasper are having a brother/sister chat upstairs," she said, winking. "They really fight a lot, more than any brother and sister I've ever met."

"I do have my schedule, at least, I got it. I don't know if I remember all of it, but I know I have American History first period, then Geometry. I remember those two because they're the only two classes that are close to one another. I have to get a pass to show in case I'm late because of..." and I waved at my legs. "I'm hoping once I start physical therapy it won't be an issue anymore."

I had been in a car accident three months previously. I had not fully recovered and it took me a while to get from one place to the next. I had a fractured pelvis, both ankles broken, and some surgeries done. I had also lost my Mother and twin sister...of that I wasn't sure I would ever recover.

"Therapy? When does that start?", Emmett asked me. He pulled me closer to him and rubbed my hair. Emmett was so close to me that I could have simply looked up into his eyes and kissed him. And I almost did, except that Alice said, "Yeah? When is that? Is that during school?".

I quickly looked away from Emmett's face and blushed, thinking of the night we had just spent together. "I'm supposed to start when school starts back up. I'll go to the hospital 3 days a week after school and see a physical therapist there. I know part of it is on the pool, but I don't really know what all else I'll be doing."

"The physical therapy department is excellent here," Dr. Cullen said. I hadn't noticed him walk into the room. "You should see some great results, Carolyn. They'll help build your muscles back up. You'll be running again in no time, I should think," he smiled as he spoke to me.

"Hey, that'll be good. I've missed my running buddy," Emmett said, smiling.

I sighed and leaned back against him as he wrapped his arms around me. I liked this new relationship with Emmett. He made me feel so safe and loved, just being near him.

"Well, we have 1st period together for sure, Carolyn", Alice said. "American History with Mr. Conrad...what do you have 1st, Bella?"

"We'll be together for those first two classes. I have American History, then Geometry, then English Lit and Art before lunch", Bella answered.

"You know, I think I have Art right before lunch, too...", I said. "I really didn't pay that much attention to the schedule they sent me. I wasn't all that excited to go back, really. But now, I think it'll be good. As good as Geometry can be, anyways." I looked to Emmett and smiled at him, thanking Mike Newton for making me go to that party and seeing him again.

Had it really only been last night that was New Years Eve? It seemed so much had happened and changed for me since the party, and all of it was wonderful. Emmett being the best part of all.
