A/N: Wow, two people already added this to their alerts. Maybe give me a review? But anyway, thanks. I didn't know if I was going to write another chapter, but knowing that people read this helps.

When Emmett was human he was attacked like the bear like in the books, but Esme found him and brought him to Carlisle because she was reminded of her baby (who died when she was human).


Emmett's POV: "Dad, you know I didn't mean to cause trouble," I hissed in his office. There was nobody else in the room, but the walls were like cardboard. Anyone walking by could hear us if we were talking above a whisper and in human speed. More than one of the nurses had stopped and tried to listen at the door (Whenever one sees "Carlisle's wife", as they like to call my mom, the rest of them find out that she's here pretty quickly).

"Emmett," he sighed, "you did nothing wrong. Esme didn't just leave you when she saw you being attacked by the bear, did she?"

"Yeah, but this is different," I didn't know how to explain it. There was just something different about her.

"Different how, sweetie?" Esme asked in a very mom-ish way.

Suddenly I felt the need to sit down. I had never felt like this before. Why was Rosalie different from all the other young human girls I had seen?

"I don't really get it. When you saw me being attacked in the woods, you saved me because you thought of your son," a sad look crossed her face as she remembered her baby and the day that she found me, "but I don't feel like I want to be her parent." I held my head in my hands and shut my eyes for a few seconds. It seemed like a very human thing to do, but I was too overwhelmed to care. "I just want to protect her," I whispered without looking up.
"Oh, honey," I lifted my head when I felt my mother hugging me from behind.

"Emmett," Carlisle said and got up. I watched him as he walked over to the other side of the chair I was sitting in and put a hand on my back. "This is completely normal. You watched her parents get killed, and then you saved her from that vampire. And right after that you saw her break fall and break her leg. It's normal that you want to protect her."

I looked him in the eyes. "Dad, I think it's more than that."

He opened his mouth to say something, but we were interrupted by Esme's cell phone ringing.

"Mom?" I heard Alice's high-pitched voice.

"Honey, I told you that something happened at the mall, and we had to go see you dad. Don't worry, we'll be home soon." She said right away. She couldn't explain what had happened because she didn't want anyone to overhear.

"No, I know what happened. I just had a vision of it."

"How did you have a vision of something after it happened?" she asked.

"I didn't have a vision of it happening. I had a vision of Emmett talking about how he wanted to protect Rosalie, and then…" her voice trailed off, "Mom, can you please just come home? It's really important."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I just really need to talk to you about something."

"Okay, well your father really needs to be here right now because we told everyone that we just found her, and we couldn't find her parents. We're the only ones who know what really happened, so your father wants to make sure she's okay."

"I just need you to come back," she said.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." She stood up, gave me a quick hug and a kiss for Carlisle, and went home.

"I wonder what that was all about," Carlisle said, probably just to fill the silence.

I shrugged my shoulders. Alice said nothing was wrong, and all I could think about was Rosalie.

We both looked up when we heard someone at the door. We waited until there was a knock, and then Carlisle opened the door.
"Dr. Cullen, you asked me to tell you when Rosalie Hale woke up," said an old man who I remembered seeing at a grocery store once. His daughter was my age, and she volunteered at this hospital, and his wife seemed to really like Edward...

"Thank you, Dr. Iawk," he replied, then turned to me, "Emmett, why don't you come with me? She'll probably be happy to see someone she knows." She didn't really know me, but I knew what he meant, and I kind of wanted to see her, so I followed him to her room.

"Emmett, remember that we told everyone that we couldn't find her parents at the mall, and that's what were telling her too."

I couldn't imagine what it would feel like for her, spending the rest of her life without knowing where her parents were, but I knew there was no other option right now, so I just nodded my head.

The first thing I saw when Carlisle opened the door was Dr. Iawk's daughter, Camilla. She was sitting by Rosalie's bed and holding her hand and talking to her about some shoes that they had both seen at the mall. Rose's head was turned towards Camilla, so I couldn't see her, but it was still easier to breathe knowing that she was okay. Well, okay except a broken leg and the fact that her parents were just killed by a vampire and she had to clue where they were. You know what I mean.

"Emmett," Camilla walked over to the other side of the room where we were standing, "It's nice to see you again. Are you volunteering here too?"

"No, I was the one who found Rosalie at the mall and brought her over here. I just wanted to stay and make sure she was okay." Rosalie looked up when she realized that I was the one who she had probably remembered from before she fainted when we were bringing her to our car.

"Well, you should really consider it. From what Rosalie tells me, you're really great with kids," she told me, and then went to check on a kid a few rooms down.

"Hey, Rosalie," I said in a soft voice, not wanting to scare her. I took a few steps so that I was standing in front of her and then sat down where Camilla was sitting a few seconds ago.

"You're that guy who was at the mall," she whispered and took my hand.

"I am. How are you feeling, sweetheart?"

She thought for a second before answering. "I guess I'm okay," she finally said, but she wasn't able to look into my eyes.

"What's wrong? Does your leg hurt too much? Don't try to pretend you're fine, that's not gonna help." I suddenly became very panicked. Whatever I was feeling in Carlisle's office was now ten times stronger, and I didn't know how much more of it I could handle.

"I just want my parents, and nobody knows where they are," her eyes flooded with tears. Carlisle was at her side in an instant, and he held onto her other hand and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Look at me, Rosalie." I whispered in her ear after wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "No matter what happens, I'm going to protect you." Carlisle raised an eyebrow at me, but all I wanted to do was protect her. I would even leave my family if that meant I could keep her safe.

"That won't be necessary, Emmett." We all looked up when an even happier than normal Alice entered the room. She had probably gotten a vision about me leaving. She walked towards us in her loud heels and kneeled down next to Carlisle. "Hi, Rosalie. I'm Alice." She looked like she wanted to be bouncing up and down as she said this, but she didn't, probably because she didn't want to make the poor girl any more scared. "You're gonna come and stay with us for a while, while the police try to contact your parents. I can already tell you're gonna love it!"

"Alice, what are you doing?" Carlisle hissed.

"I'll explain everything every thing later," we looked up again and saw Esme at the door. Well, Carlisle and I looked up, Rosalie and Alice were already making plans to go shopping.

"You can call me Rose," she informed us, like she had never been upset in the first place.
