Rosalie's baby
A: N/ Thanks all those who read the story. Special thanks to the five reviewers who helped me reach my goal. Trying something new in this chapter (Emmett's POV!)
Chapter 8: Baby-shower?
A few days passed. Each day Rosalie approximately gained two inches at most, which Carlisle had concluded the twins would be born in 5 weeks or less. Some days she gained more than two inches. By now Rosalie was on her forth-teen day of being pregnant and her stomach was about 15 inches. The five weeks for Rosalie, though appeared as an eternity to hold her child's in her arms. On her ninth day of being pregnant, Renesmee had come in for Rosalie to see her.
"Hi, auntie." Ness twirled a medium size bronze curl with her index finger, and then let it loose the ringlet falling gracefully on her back.
Rosalie grinned holding her niece, "Hello Nessie, I'm glad you came to see me." Nessie was always a very easy to love child, apart from the fact she constantly smell like a werewolf, which Rosalie hated she was the perfect little girl. Rosalie wondered if Emmett really wanted two little girls, just because of her own beauty or if there was more like seeing Nessie's angelic little face.
"Me too, Grandma told me you weren't feeling too good. That's why I didn't come sooner." Even though Renesmee was only one year she appeared three, she spoke with flawless clarity. "Before Daddy left he was telling Momma you we're having two babies is that true, Auntie?"
"Yes, I'm very happy." Carefully Rosalie placed Ness in her lap. Ness grinned, content. It was very easy to make her happy, just as Bella Renesmee was easy to please. The abrupt thronging steps mixed with Emmett's scent of a bear's bittersweet smell rang in Renesmee's and Rosalie's ears.
"Uncle!" Ness exclaimed extending her arms, Emmett carried her on top of his shoulders, she giggled in satisfaction. Emmett gave Rosalie a worried glace, which, Rosalie answered with a wide smile. "Uncle, when are the babies coming?"
Emmett's massive hands carried Ness down putting her in a seat. "Well Ness, the babies are inside your auntie's tummy. You're going to have to wait for a little bit, I'm sorry." Gently Emmett tickled her chin.
"Her tummy?" Ness stood jumping in the seat. Rosalie tried standing before she fell, but Emmett shook his head. "Can I touch it?" Both Rosalie and Emmett laughed enjoying the happy moment.
(Emmett POV)
Jasper and I split up soon after entering the woods. After the nice time with Rosalie and Nessie, Jasper had dragged me, literally, from the basement with the stupid excuse that my eyes were onyx. I still couldn't believe I had left my Rose there all alone. Sure Esme was home watching her attentively, and Carlisle had been working at the hospital far less than normal to check on her but still each time I had to leave Rose I felt it would be the last I saw of her. The worry was very painful, I had to admit I was pretty excited about have a kids, but at the risk of losing Rosalie, I would never even have considered the idea. But I did, I agreed and let Rosalie carry on this insane idea that might get her killed.
My predator instincts took over, distracting me from my reverie. My favorite: grizzly bear was near, less than five miles to be exact. The wind carried on the passing scents from my surroundings; soon I dried up the huge bear. I didn't even plan to fight it just for the fun, I know, fighting a bear your about to kill for fun, yup, I am even less sane than Rosalie. Though I didn't consider, or, dislike my life as Edward and Rose. I just went with it; I didn't particularly find a reason to see myself as a monster, like Edward. When I was human, the memories are so blurry I was happy working in the railroads. Now having my lovable wife, and soon having children I was equally satisfied.
I sighed working my way to another grizzly. Usually I stayed as much as possible trying to find grizzlies but with two bears I could do fine. I was in hurry to get back home. Jasper's very own voice distracted me, as I was about to leave. "Emmett please, if you hunt more you'll be able to spend more time with Rosalie." He called in a normal human tone from the other side of the woods.
I thought about what he just said, I would have to be more time in the forest, but, then I wouldn't have to come in a few days to hunt again. "Fine." I muttered. The next several hours I refused to think, if I did I would probably end home. When Bella was pregnant I used to mentally tease Edward for his crazy behavior, just right now I felt like him.
I couldn't run fast enough to get back to the house. Jasper wasn't home yet, Alice and Esme we're inside the kitchen, Rose upstairs. Nessie taking a nap, I heard her vain snores, they we're adorable. Carlisle wasn't home odd he was always here, now, anyways. My feet marched in the hall leading to the basement; Alice's petite frame stopped me as she raced vampire speed with her hand out-stretched.
Her small face was brightening with huge grin; what was my little sister planning this time? Alice's expression was eager enthusiastic. "Not so fast, Emmett. I was just writing the list of invites for the baby shower and—"
"Whoa…" I interrupted her. "What the hell, you're planning a party with the circumstances', are you mental?"
Esme's motherly voice reprimanded me, "Emmett! We don't us that language in the house. Would you please be more polite with your sister?" the sizzling bacon was a tuner in the background, it was morning the wolves we're coming. Lately they came more, I was fine was the Seth kid and Jacob was becoming more open minded, well, that was a nice way to say: he had to be nicer to us in order to see Nessie.
"Sorry," I mumbled to Alice, rolling my eyes. "What do you mean a baby shower, who comes to these things?" How could you think of a party for Pete's sake when poor Rosalie was feeling so terrible… she may…oh I couldn't even think about. If Rosalie left me… I automatically shut my annoying rambling to hear Alice.
"Oh I don't know…" Alice was looking around landing her energetic gold eyes on anything but mine. "Emily, me, Bella, Esme… our cousins in Alaska. I'm still thinking of more people."
I could feel as my brows pulled together. "Emily—isn't she Sam's imprint? But tell me something you want me to do something, because I don't think you just wanted to talk to me about the people your inviting."
Instantly her irises flickered on my eyes, and quickly down to the floor. "Well. You know that baby-showers are mostly for women. So I wanted to see if you would leave Rosalie for just a night. I wanted to ask, since lately you never leave her side." Oh boy, how hard.
"Sure, Alice. When is the party?" My words starched together I was sin hurry to finish the small chat and go to the basement. I wondered why Alice was asking for me to leave, had I become so inseparable with Rose that much?
"Baby-shower," She corrected my, word: party. "In two days, Saturday at six, but me, Esme and Bella are going to be preparing the decorations party food from the begging of the day. Bella's coming tomorrow, so they'll be plenty of time. Emmett what color is better Rose or lilac? I don't know myself—" I tuned Alice out nodding my head when she started looking at me peculiarly. "So what do you think?"
"I'm sorry what?" I rubbed my hand toward my hair, I was lost with her words not sure what she just said a few seconds before. Alice gave me a mortified look and stood on her tiptoes, her black spikey stands of hair moving ever so slightly with her. I was exasperated too be with Rosalie but was glue-stuck until Alice was finished.
"I was telling you," She made extract emphases on the two words: telling you. "I actually met my niece in Biloxi, she was quite enchanting, what do you think?" I shook my head in disbelief, how could a conversation relating to baby-shower turn into a casual chat about my sister's human history. Well, I did space out for the majority of the ramble.
"I don't know Alice. That's great is she such a little pixie as you?" A small smile spread quickly on Alice's tiny lips. Strangely enough, regular joking was vanished it seemed like the joke I just made was the first in a long time.
"I suppose, Emmett. Well, on with the preparations for the upcoming baby-shower." In a heartbeat I smiled moving my back towards her. "Oh please ask Rosalie if she likes lilac or Roses I still don't know." Alice added quickly, I could tell probably Rose hadn't have the tiniest idea what she was planning. Maybe she didn't know about the party itself. Oh well, I shook my head entering and seeing Rosalie's gorgeous face, her eyelids we're closed, she slowly opened them at the sound of the door closing.
"Emmett." She whispered, I locked eyes with her and came giving a small kiss to her cheek. "What is Alice planning? I heard something relating to a party or was it baby-shower. Tell me please, she also mentioned roses and lilacs, what is that about?"
I gave a small laugh, Alice had not even told Rose anything. "Huh? I told she already told you. She's throwing a baby-shower. Alice wanted to ask what flower you preferred lilacs or roses." I expected Rose to scream, howled for Alice for not mentioning, but instead my Rosalie nodded calmly. "The baby-shower is in two days." Just to see if Rose would get a bit upset I add, but she was still very smooth.
"I think it's a great idea! At least I'll get to leave this room for a while. Em, can you call Alice down here, I want to discuss what she was going to do for decorations." For the second time that day I shook my head in disbelief, today was a very strange day.
"Sure Rose." I thought now I could spend some time with her and it turned out instead Rosalie would be talking about a stupid party to Alice, note the sarcasm. "Alice, Rose wants to talk." I said. The door flew open with an excited Alice emerging inside.
I was standing and was perfectly comfortable, I caught Rose saying: "You should fill crystal bowls with lilacs and red roses similar like you Bella's birthday." And Alice. "Yes. Maybe add a few hanging stars on the living room." After that I was bored I took a grump of fresh air heading to watch some football. It was so long since the last time I did that.
