A/n: I feel COMPLETELY horrible for not updating. Just lots of drama and all that fun stuff. So, because I have tons of drama I don't want to confront in my life, my (...Stephenie Meyer's...) characters will get their own! Yay! Haha, enjoy!

Chapter 10: Unconditionally and Irrevocably

Edwards' POV

Sitting on the couch in my room, a book open on my lap, you'd expect me to be reading, right? Wrong. I was thinking. Thinking about how much my life has changed in the short period of time. Three weeks ago I was dating *insert cringe here* Jessica Stanley *insert bang head on the wall here*. Now I'm dating my best friend of 10 years. Bella was everything to me. Completely everything. I loved the way she looked at me when no one else was looking, then when I would catch her she'd smile and blush a light pink. She was completely amazing.

As my thoughts revolved in my head the door slammed open and a very apprehensive looking Emmett was standing in the doorway. I closed the book I wasn't reading, looking at him curiously. He was pale and he looked like he was about to hurl.

"Whoa. Em, what's wrong?" He ran a hand through his hair and closed the door. Something was wrong, seriously wrong. Emmett, of all people, had no clue what the meaning of the word privacy meant. If there was something to be said, he'd say it, no matter the consequences.

"It's Rose," he swallowed. "She thinks she's-" he stopped and looked at me, his usually brown eyes that reflected happiness and laughter were dead. "Pregnant." The word hung there, neither one of us spoke. Rosalie? Pregnant? At 18? This was…wow. That's really the only word I could come up with.

And apparently I said it out loud.

"Yeah," he sighed. "I know. I just can't believe Rose, my Rose, could be having a baby. Not just any baby, my baby. She's 18 for God's sake! She has a future! She's going to college, going to become an interior designer, become something! I totally screwed her over, Ed! I just murdered her chances. I'm a terrible person." That statement was more profound and shocking than telling me he was going to have a baby with his girlfriend.

"Em, she's not pregnant for sure." I tried to sooth him, but he was torturing himself. "Is she going to get a pregnancy test?" I asked quietly. He nodded.

"Bella's going with her. I – I just…couldn't. She was crying so hard, Edward. I hate myself. Truly, I do." I felt horrible for him. And for her. Her very strict parents would kick her out, disown her. She'd be all alone, 18 and pregnant. Emmett ran his hands through his hair and tugged. He felt so guilty. I heard a hesitant knock; I got up silently and opened the door. Standing there was Rosalie and Bella; both looked like they were crying. Rose was carrying a large bag and, once I had closed the door after they were inside, she pulled out, with a fresh set of tears, three pregnancy tests. Bella's fingers were laced with Rose's. She squeezed her hand and looked at Emmett, who had gotten up to wrap his arms around Rose, who started to shake. He walked her to the bathroom and closed the door once she was inside. Bella visibly swallowed and blinked twice. She sat down Indian style on the floor and we waited. The silence was defining; the tension was as thick as fog. I sat down next to her and laced my fingers with hers. She looked up and me, her doe-like eyes seemed concerned for her best friends. Rose opened the door after a few minutes and looked down at the pregnancy tests. We all looked anxiously at Rosalie, who had new tears in her eyes.

"Three positives."

Girlfriend

5 hours later

Rosalie was sobbing, being rocked back and forth by a horrified Emmett. Rosalie, along with innocent Jasper, who said if his sister went he went, too, was kicked out of the house and had nowhere to go. Jasper, who was livid, was pacing the room. Carlisle and Esme were conversing in the kitchen. Alice was sitting on the bottom step of the staircase, watching her true love pace around and around. Bella and I were sitting on the fireplace silently conversing with our eyes. No sound came from anyone except the occasional hiccup from Rosalie.

I guess this is how no one expected to be spending their Saturday. I guess this is how no one expected us to be like 10 years ago, two 18 year olds expectant parents, two teenagers showing up, kicked out of their house, and everyone waiting for an outcome.

Everyone was waiting for a resolution that would never come.

Rosalie was determined to keep the baby, no matter what happened. She was strongly against abortion and she couldn't bear to get attached to a baby for 9 months then give it up. She would be able to do it, I honestly don't know how she would but she would.

Esme and Carlisle walked into the living room, hands clasped, faces grave. Everyone stopped. The world stopped spinning. Everyone waited silently for one of them to speak. Esme swallowed and walked over to where Rosalie and Emmett were sitting. She gathered them both in her long arms. Bella bit her lip to keep from crying. Alice had tears silently streaming down her face; Jasper walked over to her and put his arms around her, pulling her to his chest. Everyone knew what Esme meant by bringing the two frightened 18 year olds who were in way over their heads.

"Emmett, Rosalie, we won't lie; we are very shocked that this could happen, that this did happen." It was Carlisle speaking, his low melodic voice making Rosalie look up, her big blue eyes as big a saucers. "Rosalie, we know you want to keep the baby, and we fully accept your decision." She started to cry again, smiling blindly at Carlisle, who had come to stand behind Esme, his hand on her shoulder. "We, also, know that you were kicked out of your home. Along with Jasper, and why, by the way, were you kicked out, Jasper?" In other words, they were asking if he got Alice pregnant. Jasper's arms tightened around Alice and he took a deep breath.

"They said Rosalie was a major disappointment and that she wouldn't make it in life. It made me mad so I told them if she was going, so was I. She doesn't deserve that," he hesitated for a moment, "and neither does the baby." There was a sharp intake of breath from Rosalie as she broke out of Esme and Emmett's arms she ran and hugged her brother, tears streaming down faster down her face. Jasper was not happy about the baby, to put it lightly; he wanted to kill Emmett, who, at this point, would tie the noose for him. Emmett truly hated himself for this.

"Now, Emmett, Rosalie, we want you to know that you have a place to stay. Here." Rose's hand flew to her mouth and she walked over to her surrogate-parents and hugged them both long and tight. Emmett looked shocked and then stood up and walked out the door. Rosalie broke away from Esme and walked after him, calling his name. After a few minutes she came back in, sobbing. Esme, Bella and Alice ran towards her; hugging her, reassuring her, telling everything was going to be alright. She broke away and stormed up the staircase. We all stared after her, no one knowing what to do. We all sat there for a good hour until Emmett walked into the living room. Esme got up and walked towards him and slapped him hard over the back of the head. He looked down at the ground, sadly.

"Is she okay?" He asked quietly, Esme hit him again and told him to go upstairs and talk to her. Alice looked at him, at his jeans pocket and screamed. Bella's eyes went wide when she saw what was in his pocket.

Just barley peeking out of the pocket was a black velvet jeweler's box.

Emmett was going to propose to Rosalie.

He started his climb up the stairs and we all waited for a moment then made excuses to go upstairs, to spy. Before Bella and I could go we heard Rosalie screaming at Emmett. We all raced up the stairs, pretty much thinking screw the excuses. Carlisle and Esme were crouched by the door, Esme had her camera ready. There was a crack and we were all trying to see in. Rosalie was standing and Emmett was kneeling at her feet.

"Rose, I love you. I am so sorry I did this to you, but I'm happy. I'm happy that this baby gives us the chance that I was saving for after graduation. Rose, my love, will you marry me?" Jasper clamped his hand over Alice's mouth and I followed suit with Bella. Rose silently nodded, tears streaking her face. He slipped the ring on her finger and hugged her middle, kissing her stomach, he whispered something, and it looked like "I love you baby." Bella and Alice couldn't stand it anymore they had to walk to Alice's room to keep their sobs quiet. Jasper and I looked at each other and followed them. They were both on the floor, sobbing. I crouched next to Bella, pulling her into my chest.

"What's wrong, love?" I asked quietly in her ear, she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"It was just so," insert sob here, "romantic! Who would have guessed that Emmett would ever be romantic?" She laughed and shook her head.

She truly thought that this would work out, and, deep down, I knew it would, too.
