Chapter 10

RPOV:

It seems like for the past four years everything has been about Bella and Edward. First she was human, then a newborn, then ran away, and last, but certainly not least, she's pregnant and honestly, I'm fucking tired of hearing about her. I love her, she's my sister, but it's so hard to be around her. Having a child is all I ever wanted. I will never get to have a child with my Emmy; I'll never grow old with him. Not, that Edward and Bella will grow old, but at least they can have children, or a child. I hope that they can conceive again when I'm not being a total bitch.

We found out that Bella and Edward were having a girl. The whole family is excited. I am too, well at least in front of everyone. Emmett knows the truth. I could never hide my feelings from him, he understands. We've spent hours over our lives together talking about the 'what ifs' in our lives. Many people see Emmett as the fun loving goof that he is, but I'm the only one that knows that deep down he's always wanted a family of his own and to grow old with me.

It has been two days ago since I had my epiphany. I was never more grateful that Edward was nowhere around. It's giving me time to think about my plan, and time to muster the courage to bring it up to Em. We were sitting in the forest after hunting; Emmett was perched high on a rock overlooking the valley below. It was so peaceful here; it's one thing that I like about West Virginia.

"Hey, baby," Emmett greeted as I climbed into his lap. He kissed my check as he brushed the hair back from my neck, kissing me softly on my scar. "What's going on in that beautiful head of yours?"

"You promise you won't laugh, or think I'm insane?" I asked, looking deep into his rich ocher eyes.

"I'd never think that about you Rosie."

"You might, I even think I'm a little nuts." I took a deep unnecessary breath, stilling to tell him my idea. After about five minutes I said. "Em, you know I want a baby, almost more than anything else in life... or death." He nodded sadly. "It's possible, now, Bella's the proof." Em opened his mouth to speak but I stopped him so I could continue. "I know it might be a fluke, but what if Carlisle could take your sperm and my eggs and plant them in Bella. Just think of it Emmett, we'd be parents." I sighed.

"It sounds wonderful, Rosie, except that when Bella became pregnant, she was in human form. Her eggs work. Your eggs are hard as stone baby. I just don't see how it's possible." Emmett spoke softly. I knew he was trying not to upset me, but he was right; I didn't think about that tiny detail. "But if you want, we'll talk to Carlisle. I'm sure that if Bells could help us she will." Emmett kissed me softly.

I couldn't speak; I just nodded my head in agreement. I knew it was a long shot, but I had to try.

Emmett and I decided to visit Carlisle at work so we'd have privacy from other super hearing ears.

"Hello, may I help you?" The receptionist asked.

"Yeah, I'm here to see my father, Carlisle."

"Oh, I thought he only had the two girls," the large woman smiled.

"No, I'm not in school. I'm married, actually." I flashed my wedding rings for her.

"Oh, I didn't realize he was old enough to have a married child." Margie, the large woman with smelly breath, said. It was clear that she didn't believe me.

"Do I need to submit a blood test to prove it?" I snapped. Emmett tapped my arm in warning.

"No, of course not, let me see if he's available.

"Dr. Cullen, there's a woman here that says she's your daughter... yes, okay. He's on his way up."

"Rosie, what a pleasant surprise, is everything alright?" Carlisle beamed as he pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek. He only ever called me Rosie if we were alone or with Emmett. Even though not many people realized, I loved my father. He was really the only one I ever had; my birth father was too busy making money to actually care for my mother and me. Carlisle was my maker and my father.

"Does something have to be wrong for a girl to visit her daddy?" I asked.

"Of course not, Margie I'd like you to meet my oldest daughter Rosalie and her husband Emmett. They've just opened the repair shop here in town."

"Oh wonderful, my husband took our car there yesterday. You do fabulous work." Margie beamed.

"Thanks, Dad, can we talk in your office? We don't want to take up all your time."

"Sure. Margie, move my appointments back an hour." Carlisle instructed as we followed him to his office.

"What's up guys?" Carlisle asked as he sat behind his desk.

"We want to have a baby." I said, not beating around the bush.

"I see. You want this Emmett?"

"Yes, but I understand if it's not possible."

"I have to say guys that I'm intrigued as to how you plan on getting a baby. Raising a human child would be difficult, then when he would be of age he'd have to be turned or risk the Volturi killing us all." Carlisle said. He wasn't being condescending he was truly interested.

"We don't want a human child. I wanted to see if you'd be willing to experiment. We know that Bella can carry a child; we know that vampire male sperm is viable. So, what if my eggs aren't really stone, what if they are just hanging out in there. I mean, aren't women born with over a million eggs. I know some die off as we grow and mature, but surely something has to still be in there."

Carlisle stared at us for a while before speaking. "Rose, Bella was in human form. The baby will be half human. You and Em are vampires, this has the potential of creating a vampire child and you know that there are rules against creating such a creature. If this works and it is a vampire child, can you end its life?" He continued to stare at me letting his words sink in. "Can you kill your child if Rosalie cannot?" He asked Emmett.

"No," Em whispered.

"If the two of you truly want to try we can extract some of your eggs. We may not have anything to work with." I was floored; I couldn't believe he was willing to help.

"You mean you'll help us?"

"Of course, you're my children. I want you to have everything your heart desires. The previous void of children in my life has been filled with the two of you and your eight siblings. I understand the need to feel complete. I have two more appointments, but they aren't anything serious if they're here I'll see them quickly. If not, I'll cancel. Why don't you two hang out in here until I'm finished?"

Carlisle stood to leave and I jumped up and into his arms. "Thank you so much, daddy, thank you." I cried.

"Shh... sweetheart, I'd give you the world if I could." He pulled me back to look into my eyes. "I can't promise you anything Rosie, but I will do my best." After another hug and kiss to my forehead, he left us to tend to his patients.

I had barely sat back down when he came back into the room. "My patients have canceled their appointments, so why do I get you into the exam room?" We followed him to the room and he instructed me to change and put on a gown. I hadn't worn a hospital gown since I was human; it was very strange to be in a doctor's office as a patient once again. I gasped. "What's wrong baby?" Em asked.

"Carlisle is going to see my twat." I grimaced. I heard Carlisle laugh.

He knocked and came into the room. "If it makes you feel any better about this, Emmett is more than capable of performing the exam. I can just watch the screen."

"Cool, can I, Rosie?"

"I don't know, Em."

"Please, I went to school for gynecology." He beamed. I rolled my eyes and said yes.

Carlisle got his ultrasound machine ready while Emmett got in place between my legs. I gasped when I felt his tongue lick my clit. "Emmett!" I yelled. Carlisle smacked him on his head.

"That was inappropriate, even for you Emmett Cullen!" Carlisle hissed.

"Sorry," he mumbled.

"Now, before we begin; I don't know if this machine will even pick up anything, please don't let this upset you. It's a long shot you know." Carlisle warned.

"I'll try my best."

"Okay, Emmett, I want you to first preform a routine exam." Emmett nodded before he inserted two fingers inside me, pressing up and then using his free hand to press down on the outside of my skin.

"Everything seems normal and in place." Emmett said seriously.

"Good. Now, insert the wand." Carlisle handed him a long wand with a weird looking condom covering it with a wad of blue goop at the tip.

I watched the screen, unlike a human's ultrasound there was no noise coming from inside me. Nothing moved or pulsed. "There," Carlisle said as he pointed to the screen. "This is an ovary. It's full of eggs, so my next choice would be to operate, so that I can see them and test them."

"Can you test them without telling Edward and Bella? I don't want to ask for their help until we know for sure." I explained.

"Yes, I could, but if it worked I'd have nowhere to transfer them and they'd die."

"But we'd know it would work. We could try it again when Bella's ready."

"Yes, or..." Carlisle trailed off thinking.

"Or what, Dad?" Em asked.

"If it worked I could try to implant them inside you just to see what would happen."

"Okay." I said quickly. That would be a dream come true. I wouldn't get my hopes up though.

"Carlisle, do you really think our baby would be a monster?"

"I'm not sure, Edward's sperm is vampire and Bella's eggs were human. I don't understand her gift but it seems that when she is in human form, she is almost completely human. She's more durable, and can't die from sickness or what have you, but her body works as a human's would. Your body is one-hundred percent vampire."

"When do you want to extract them?" I asked.

"Now, you know I can't resist anything to do with science. And I'm excited for the possibility; if this worked it could change our kind forever."

Carlisle and Emmett got everything ready and then Em proudly displayed his cup of man juice, (his words not mine) while Carlisle prepared the test tubes and whatever else it was that he needed.

"Okay, sweetheart, you know there's nothing I can give you for pain, and I'm sure that this is going to hurt. Are you sure?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes, it's worth a little pain." Carlisle nodded then used his sharp finger nail to slice open my skin. It hurt like a mother fucking bitch. I wanted to scream, but I held it in. I couldn't see what he was doing, but he had Emmett hold my skin apart so it wouldn't seal itself back together.

"Okay, Rosie, I've taken some of the eggs. They don't look like stones, so that's promising and I was able to cut into the ovary sack with a regular scalpel. Em, just stay like that for a minute and let me see what I can do."

Thirty minutes later, Carlisle was ready to place the embryo into my uterus. He said it was different than Bella and Edward and almost immediately it began to grow to the size of a seventy two hour old fetus. Three days in thirty minutes. Carlisle implanted them inside me and sealed me back up. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sustain them, but Carlisle said that since I'd just hunted that blood and venom were actually moving inside me, acting as a heartbeat. He wanted me to hunt every day, maybe even twice. Em suggested that we kill and store the animal blood so I'd have it on hand. After an hour, Carlisle did an ultrasound. The baby was growing already. Its growth had slowed down, but Carlisle said there was definite growth. He wanted me to feed again and then come back in. Emmett and I left more excited than we'd ever been. We weren't sure if it would work out, but it was definitely something to be excited about.

EPOV:

Our weekend of fuckery was cut short, due to our extreme fuckery that demolished the majority of the house. I didn't mind repair work when it was done at vampire speed, so it didn't really take that long to finish. What ended up taking longer was having the materials I needed sent to me discreetly. Money talks, so it all worked out in the end.

"I wish we didn't have to leave already." Bella sighed as she stroked her protruding belly.

"I know, but we'll have fun with the family, and you'll get to see your brother."

"Yeah, I do miss that smelly bastard. Hey, I wonder if he'll smell bad since I can't change back right now."

"I guess we'll find out soon," I chuckled. "Let's get going. Our plane takes off in two hours."

"You think we'll make it back by then?"

"Hell ya, I'll drive like the fucking wind." I laughed as I scooped her up and deposited her into the car at hyper speed.

We almost missed our flight, because I, Mr. Fucking Mindreader, got a ticket. I knew Bella would never let me live that down. I swore her to secrecy, but as soon as we boarded the plane with our family she said, "Sorry we're late Mr. Speedy Gonzalez got a ticket." I groaned as my family roared with laughter.

"Dude, you got a ticket! That's priceless. It's almost as good as the time Alice got caught with Jasper in the dressing room at Macy's."

"Hey, Jasper was with me. Why does it have to be when 'Alice got caught'?" Alice whined, mimicking Emmett's voice perfectly.

"Bros before hoes," Emmett said as he leaned back in his chair, putting his hands behind his neck.

"Emmett, do not call your sister a hoe," Esme chirped. Em was unfazed.

"I want to hear some stories of silly things you guys have done over the years," Angela said.

"Yeah, I've only heard a few things, and I'm sure there's tons more in all the years you all have been together," Rebekah added.

"Alright, did Eddie ever tell you about the time Charlie caught him and Bella going at it?" Emmett guffawed.

"That was after you were married wasn't it, Edward?"

I groaned, why is it always me? "No, Mom, Bella and I were not married, and I was technically her teacher in high school."

"You should be ashamed, Edward." Beth shook her head.

Charlie laughed. "I went downstairs and got my shot gun. I was bound and determined to shoot a hole in his pasty white ass."

"I remember that you were thinking how pasty white my ass was." I laughed with everyone.

"I don't remember that. I wish I did." Bella pouted. I kissed her cheek to let her know it was alright.

"What about the time Emmett ran naked across the stage at a Bon Jovi concert?" I retorted.

"That was fucking epic!" Em said.

"No, it was fucking stupid and you got your ass thrown in jail," Jasper laughed.

"Yes, your mother was not too happy about bailing out at three in the morning." Carlisle interjected.

"Why? It's not like you guys sleep." Emmett snorted.

"No, we don't sleep, but we were busy." Esme said smugly followed by a chorus of 'ewwww' from her children.

After the parents finished laughing at our disgusted faces, Carlisle said, "I don't know what all of you are grousing about. We have to hear all of you go at it like fucking rabbits."

Esme giggled as she scolded him smacking his arm. "Carlisle, watch your mouth."

"Well, it's true." Charlie laughed earning his own smack from his mate.

"Have you always been the parents?" Embry asked.

"No, when I renewed my medical degree, we weren't parents... in public anyway."

"What's the youngest age you've passed for?" Ben questioned.

"Esme is twenty eight, while I pass for thirty."

"Have you two ever gotten into trouble?" Bella asked. My siblings and I roared with laughter.

"We most certainly have not!" Esme insisted.

"What-the-hell-ever, Mom," Emmett yelled.

"Come on tell us," Angie begged.

"So they were..."

"No, please don't tell them," Esme begged.

"Oh, come on, Mom, it's not that bad." Jasper laughed.

"It may not be bad compared to all of you, but for us, it is highly embarrassing." Esme buried her face in Carlisle's chest.

"We got caught having sex in a hospital exam room. See, it's nothing." Carlisle said.

"Yeah, nothing that lost your job." Emmett laughed.

"You got fired?" Rebekah gasped.

"Yes, well, there was that, but otherwise it wasn't a big deal." Carlisle insisted.

"Yeah, getting caught with your cock in your girlfriends mouth by the President of the hospital, a Priest, and a Rabbi is really nothing."

Carlisle shrugged, "I'm going to hell anyway."

Esme smacked his arm. "Don't talk that way," she giggled.

"Girlfriend?" Bella asked.

Esme answered, "Yes, Carlisle was doing his internship, he was up for a permanent spot, and had plans to open his own practice. I was his girlfriend, Edward his brother, Emmett and Rose were our cousins. It was before Alice and Jasper joined the family. We had met them, but they hadn't officially joined our coven yet."

"Wow," Ben laughed. "So that had to be before getting head was a normal thing. Right?"

"Yes, it was frowned upon. Considered disrespectful and something only a whore partook in, so you see why it was much worse than it seems." Esme sighed. "They thought Carlisle was disrespecting me, so he couldn't be trusted with patient care."

"That's awful, but still funny as hell." My little wife laughed. We all joined her.

"So, is anyone a member of the Mile High Club?" Embry asked. Roars of laughter shook the plane.

"I really don't think we need to discuss that." Esme said sharply.

"Oh no, this is way better than getting caught giving head." I said.

"Edward, you'd betray me?" Esme asked in disbelief.

"I'm the only one not guilty in this story." I defended. "Besides, no one was really hurt."

"Oh, I gotta hear this now." Ben said leaning forward in his seat.

"Okay, this is the reason we own our own plane. Commercial planes had just really taken off. We'd decided to try flying to England instead of going by boat. Alice and Jasper started the whole mess..."

"No, Emmett did." Alice interjected. "He's the one that kept talking dirty to Rose getting Jazzy all hopped up on lust waves."

"Fine, Emmett and his lust thoughts started it, so there were four bathrooms on this plane, two in first class and two in coach, so each couple had a bathroom, but every time they'd... you know..." I trailed off but of course Emmett just said what I couldn't.

"Come on Eddie, you're not a virgin any more. Every time we'd thrust into our women, the plane would shake." Emmett laughed.

"Edward is the gentleman I raised him to be." Beth insisted.

"No, he's really not," Bella said shaking her head. I gaped at her.

"I am!" I defended myself yet again.

"Oh, of course you are, honey," Bella patted my leg condescendingly.

I rolled my eyes as I said, "Anyway! They were all doing their 'thing' in the bathroom, the plane kept shaking, and the pilot announced for everyone to buckle up and return to their seats, of course, none of them did. The plane started to go down. I knew we were going to crash and lives would possibly be lost. It's hard enough to handle a plane full of humans without the bloodshed. Finally, Alice had a vision of us killing everyone on board, so she and Jasper hurried out. The three of us jumped off the plane. With all the chaos, no one noticed us jump off of it. We swam to the surface, just in time for Jazz and I to throw Alice into the air to catch the plane setting it somewhat easily on the water. We were able to get back on board without much trouble. They," I pointed to Carlisle, Esme, Rose and Em, "were still in the damn bathrooms fucking."

"Daddy!" Rebekah squealed with laughter.

"What can I say? You're mother takes all conscious thought away from me." Carlisle smiled warmly towards Esme before he pulled her in for a kiss.

The rest of the plane ride was rather quiet as we all paired off with our mates. I sat with my right arm around Bella's shoulders and my left on her tummy feeling our baby move. Her heartbeat was growing stronger and louder every day. I couldn't wait until we welcomed her into our world.
