Rosalie walked into Carlisle's office after her and Emmett got back from their small hunting trip. It had been too long since she and Emmett had had a fun time out hunting they managed to chase a bunch of things before they caught something that they wanted to eat, but when Emmett was so quiet on the hunt that made her get worried. It wasn't that he talked a lot during the hunts usually he was just never absolutely silent, he would usually make some random comment about Edward or Alice and how one of them managed to annoy him in the past few days and that is why he needed to get out of the house. So Rosalie blamed it on the things that Carlisle had said to him and she wanted to know what that was, it was probably about this new vampire they were inviting into the house but she still was not sure. So as she planned what to say she knocked on the door to his office.

"Come in Rosalie" he said with a smile, normally they were out much longer on their hunting trips and so he knew that there was something wrong if they were back in 2 hours and she was knocking on his door.

"Carlisle, what did you say to Emmett this morning?" Although she was usually direct about her answers her questions usually were around the bush.

Carlisle looked at her she had spent a long time observing Emmett and so if something was wrong with him she would be the first one to notice it and probably be the first one to worry about anything. "Not much really, I just asked him to uncover the latch that is in the floor of that room. Why did he say something on the hunt that made you worry about what I had asked him to do for me?"

Rosalie smiled at him, although it was easy to tell that he cared about the entire family a little too much she still wanted to know more about this vampire that was coming to live with them for the next little while at least. "Actually Carlisle he was sort of quiet during the hunt this morning so I guess I was just wondering. It makes me nervous when he decides to do something like that when there are other people around. What can you tell me about this girl Carm that is coming to live with us?"

Carlisle sat quiet for a few minutes he knew that this question was going to come up it had been too long since they had had a new addition to the family and he knew that the story of her past was going to have to be brought up sometime soon. Although all the hoping in the world could not make that time be at any worse of a time. He had to go to work at the hospital and he had told Esme that when Carm arrived that she was supposed to call him and he would be right home. He did not like leaving with this hanging over his head but he had work to do and his co-workers at the hospital knew that he was getting a new arrival today. "Rosalie, I have to head to work but I promise we will talk about this later unless you want to come to work with me and we can sit in my office there and talk about it?"

She stood there for a brief moment as Carlisle left his office and she followed him silently to his car. Getting in the passenger seat and shutting the door when she got in. Carlisle did not drive as fast as the rest of the family so that would give them some time to talk on the way to the hospital. "So what can you tell me?"

Carlisle took a breath he was hoping that she would not want to follow him into work at least but sometimes letting it wait would make the situation worse. "Okay, Aro asked me to take her in. He said that she has had a really hard life so far as a vampire and that she needs to get her act straight." He looked at her as he came to the main set of lights in town. "I have never seen the Volturi give anyone a second chance but apparently this girl needs one, Aro is supposed to call me later today and let me know more about her." He looked back at the road. "Rosalie, she had not lived a vegetarian lifestyle at all and now one is being forced upon her. I don't know how she will react to it, and unfortunately for us she knows that this is her one and only option left at life."

Rosalie gasped when she thought about the Volturi giving someone a second chance at life. She saw there no mercy rule in effect when it came to others. It had taken too long and now she was just waiting for Carlisle to say something else that would put her into shock even more. "I think I might go see Edward and Bella for a bit. I think I need to think about things for a little while." She got out of the car as they got to the hospital. She held up her phone to show Carlisle that she had it with her as she took off for Bella's house. It had been a while since she had spent any time with the human and she was looking forward to seeing her right now. When she got to her house she knocked on the door, and Edward answered it in surprise.

"Rosalie what are you doing here is everything okay?"

"Actually I just came to see you and Bella. I have not spent much time with her outside of the classes we have together and I was hoping that maybe we could hang out right now."

Bella appeared at the top of the stairs, "Do you have to leave Edward?" she said pouting a little she hated when he decided to leave her alone and not tell her why.

He smiled at her, "No you silly girl Rosalie just wants to hang out with us. Is that okay with you?" He looked at his sister raising an eyebrow he asked. "Where is Emmett?"

"Back at the house, I left with Carlisle, but what are you guys doing right now?"

Bella lead Rosalie upstairs and Edward followed behind. "Edward was helping me with my homework but maybe you might be able to help me too" she said handing the book to Rosalie.

Meanwhile

Carlisle got into his office just as the phone rang and he picked it up.

Carlisle: Hello

Aro: Greetings old friend. Has she arrived yet?

Carlisle: no not yet. When should be expecting her?

Aro: anytime now she should be there. But I take it you want to know a little more about her past right now.

Carlisle: I would be lying if I said that the issue has not already come up in a conversation.

Aro: you know the murders that have been going on in Texas for the past few years?

Carlisle: of course, although there has not been anything sloppy about those killings all it has been is nomads and such.

Aro: Well sorry to disappoint you but no it was Carm. Although she is still under the impression that she is going to be able to feed on human blood when she gets to see you.

Carlisle: You mean you have not told her that we only drink animal blood. I was under the impression that you had already told her that and she had accepted that fact. So what can you tell me about this girls past besides that?

Aro: well that is when she was discovered or at least that is when we discovered her actions. She is able to ... I guess the right word is repel other abilities. The Volturi figured since your family is somewhat used to dealing with that that maybe this should be easy for you to handle.

Carlisle's phone was buzzing on his desk, it was Esme.

Carlisle: well she is at the house I will give you a call if we need anything else.

Aro: take care and good luck she is something special this one. We usually don't give second chances but I figure that she needed it.

Carlisle hung up the phone before picking up his cell. "Yes Esme" he answered.

Esme was calm on the other end. "Carm just arrived."

He thought for a moment and grabbed his stuff. "Give Edward a call and make sure that Jasper, Alice and Emmett are around we will probably need them too." He hung up the phone and left the office getting into his car and heading home faster than usual. Something that Aro had said to him made him nervous about this girl although he did not know what.
