ROSE POV

I looked at the person on my couch and gasped.

"Alice!", I walked to the playroom and put Jayde on the floor.

I couldn't believe she brought him here. Emmett Dale McCarthy was sitting on my couch.

"Rose.", She walked into the playroom. "He misses you.".

"Alice, I can't do this.", I sighed.

"He's taken. At least talk to him. Tell him why you left.", She begged.

"What about Jayde?", I whispered.

"Tell him. He needs to know.".

I picked up Jayde and walked out there.

God, why was I so nervous?

"Hi.", He smiled faintly.

"Hey.", I sat on the floor with Jayde in my lap. "Where do you want me to start?".

"Why'd you leave?", He asked.

"Simple. I was pregnant, you were childish. I didn't want my baby around that.".

"I was childish? You could've just talked to me. I would've changed for you.", He sighed.

"Well, too late now. You're married.".

"I-Is that-?", He asked, glancing at Jayde.

"Yes.", I whispered.

I was waiting for him to walk out. He just got married, found his ex wife, and realized he had a daughter.

"What's her name?", He asked.

"Jayde Alexandria Hale.", I replied.

"How old is she?".

"She'll be 2 next month.".

"I miss you.", He said as he watched Jayde stand up.

"Em, I don't want a relationship right now. You're married, and I have to raise Jayde.", I sighed.

"I want to help you raise her. She is mine, right?".

"Of course she's yours. But, I can do it by myself. I've been just fine for the past 3 years.".

"I'll pay child support, help you get a better house, maybe I could take her for the weekend and let you have a break?", He offered.

"You don't get breaks when you become a parent. You don't just give your kid to someone who hasn't been here so you can go out and party. It doesn't work like that!", I stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"Rose, I didn't mean it like that. I just want to be in her life. I'd hate for her to grow up without her actual dad.".

I leaned on the counter and silently cried. I missed Emmett so much, and he wanted to be there for Jayde.

"Look, I married Bella because I was depressed. I looked for you everywhere. I loved you, Rose. I thought we would be together forever and tell each other everything. I guess I was wrong.".

I turned around and sighed. "Fine. You can be here for Jayde, but I don't want your new wife around her.".

"Rose, I'm gonna take Jayde to the park so you two can talk this out.", Alice came to the kitchen and told me.

"Thanks.".

She hugged me. "It'll be okay.".

"I'll talk to you tonight.".

"You can stay at my place. My bed is big enough for you and Jayde.", She smiled.

After Alice left, I sat on the couch. "I just, I can't believe how much you've changed.", Emmett looked at me.

I sighed. "I-If I could have you back, I would. For Jayde.".

"Maybe you can have me back. I don't need Bella around. She's cheated on me so many times. I don't need that. I need someone who is loyal to me and actually wants to have a relationship.".

I looked up at him.

"Marry me.", He said.

"Not now. We're rushing into this all. I just, I need some time to think.".

"I understand.", He leaned forward and kissed me.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
