Sorry it's been so long!
We've had alot going on right now, so I'm so very sorry!
Here's ch. 10!
It was very sunny outside. An unusual day for Ashen. I was standing outside on my new balcony in a light pink-cotten dress. My hair was down, laying along my back and neck. The whispers of the wind feeling my ears and the lake up the mountain. I could see the sparkles dancing off of my skin as the sun played. I tried to soak up as much sun as possible. I could feel my hair gently moving with the wind. It was so peaceful out here. I closed my eyes. Even more peaceful. I took a deep breathand exhaled through my nose. I suddenly heard gentle foot steps of a small child coming from behind me. I turned slowly. I saw her standing there. Her curly, light brown mid-waist length hair blew slightly in the wind. I took in every inch of her. Her slender figure, her designer clothes, her full, pale-red lips. I saved her eyes for last. As I looked into her eyes, I saw terror. I was confused. My hand stretched out half-way automatically. Her eyes were wide, but widened even more. She looked over her shoulder and turned back to me. "Mommy!" She yelled as she took a half step forward. I gasped and reached for her, but there was nothing there. Nothing. Emptiness. The sky shifted into darkness. I screamed in agony "No!" as I saw the ashy cloaks coming forward...
I gasped and my body jerked up into a sitting position. I started sobbing. There was a lump in my throat. I felt a hard kick in my stomach and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I held the scream in.
"Rose, honey!?" Emmett asked panicky as he sat up,too, his arm instantly around me. "What's wrong?"
"Eee-mmm-ett." I pushed out.
"What is it, honey? Darling, I'm here. What's the matter? Did you have a bad dream?"
I nodded and spoke with a stutter. "I-i-i-t was h-h-her."
He understood. He rubbed my arms up and down and shifted me into his lap. "Oh baby, it's okay. It's okay. She's fine. Your fine. It's okay, honey."
I rested my head on his shoulder. I started shivering. I could feel the tears rolling down my face. I didn't want to think about the dream--no nightmare I just had.
"Emmett?" I asked, my voice weak, but clear now.
"Yes, Rosie baby? What is it?"
"What time is it?"
"It's five in the morning."
"Can we go talk to Bella? I have to ask him something."
He looked confused, but he nodded and picked me up. He raced down stairs to where the family was. They were all looking at me. But I was only interested in one person.
"Bella?" I asked as Emmett set me down on my feet. She looked at me curiously and a little wide-eyed.
"Yes, Rosalie?"
"Can I talk to you? In private?" I whispered the last part.
"Sure Rose. Anything." She got up and came around the couch. She took my hand in hers. I reached up and gave Emmett a kiss on his cheek. "I'll be back, Em." I pulled her into the kitchen and down the hall into the garage. I pressed the button and the garage door started moving up. I got into my BMW and motioned for her to get in. She climbed into the passanger seat, still looking confused. I started the engine and backed out of the garage and onto the road. Neither of us spoke. I waited until I knew we were out of hearing range and raced the car up to 125 MPH. I took my eyes off the road and turned my body slightly to Bella who was watching me curiously.
"Rosalie? Is-is everything...okay?" She asked.
"Bella.." I felt a lump in my throat. She waited. I took a deep breath. I didn't want to admit this. But, I had no other choice. "I'm scared."
She was quiet. I got no answer. She just stared at me. I pursed my lips again and looked at the road, trying to hold back the tears that I knew were coming.
"Rosalie," She finally whispered. The sound almost made me jump. I turned back to her, my lips still smashed together. "I know. I was scared, too."
"Bella, did you...did you have....dreams?" I asked, almost embarrassed.
"Yes. I did. Are you having dreams, Rosalie?
"No. I-I'm not," I told her. She looked confused. "Nightmares," I whispered.
"Oh Rosalie!" She gasped. Her hand flew to my shoulder. "Rose, it's okay. She's fine! She's fine!"
The tears started escaping. "The Volturi," I managed. "They w-were coming for h-her."
She wiped the tears from under my eyes and brushed the hair out of my face. "Shhh, Rose. It's okay, hon. She'll be fine."
"I couldn't even tell Emmett! I didn't want to scare him, too! What am I suppose to do? I'm...scared! I'm horrified! What if everthing goes wrong? What if I'm not fit to be a parent? What if I can't protect her the way I'm suppose to?!" I realized I was yelling. I pulled the car over, afraid that even with my perfect driving, I would accidently hit someone or crash.
"Rose, honey! Your going to be a great mother! Look at what you've done for Renesmee! Look how she has grown so big and so smart. Rosalie, your going to be the perfect mother for your little girl! I can promise you that! I promise, I promise!"
I completely broke down. Right there, in front of Bella. I rested my head on the stirring wheel and just cried. Bella let me get it all out of me. She just rubbed my back up and down. Trying to comfort me. We sat there for what seemed like hours.
I raised me head up, my eyes closed. I turned to her. I slowly opened my eyes. They hurt from crying. I felt my baby nudge my stomach hard again. I tried to hold in the pain, and succeeded. She smiled a small smile.
"Better?" She asked.
"Yes. Now that I've gotten that all out."
She laughed. "Actually, I wanna go do something I haven't done in a while."
"What's that?" She asked.
"Go shopping!"
"Didn't you and Alice just do that like two weeks ago?" She asked confused.
"We went shopping for my baby," I told her. "I'm needing some new clothes for myself." I pointed to my bigger stomach.
She laughed.
"Will you come too?" I asked.
"Of course, Rose." she told me. I smiled and re-started the car. We raced toward home talking about all sorts of plans at the mall.
*************************
Alice, Bella and I were walking down the crowded mall. We had atleast five shopping bags in each hand. We were just passing the food court below, and I smelled something.
"Alice, what's that smell?" I asked.
Her little nose wrinkled in disgust. "Human food," she hissed.
I sniffed some more.
"Alice," I said almost horrified.
"Yes?" She asked confused.
"I think I'm hungry."
"Do you wanna go home and hunt, Rose?"
"No, Alice," I told her, surley. "I think I'm...hungry."
She gasped the same time Bella did.

"Rosalie? Are you sure you want to do this?" my little sister asked.
"Yes, Alice." I said as I waited in line at Sonic. She giggled. I rolled my eyes. We finally got up to the register. There was a geeky looking boy standing behind it. He blinked and gawked at our beauty. I rolled my eyes again.
"How may I help you, ma'am?" He asked still astonished.
"I would like cheese tatertots with onions. One corndog. One large onion ring, and a medium Pepsi."
I heard Bella and Alice giggle behind me. I turned and glared at them. They both looked away -still smiling- innocently. I turned back to the geeky boy. He smiled, showing me a full set of braces as I handed him the cash. I smiled back half-heartidly and turned to walk toward the table my sisters were sitting at. I sat down and picked up the corndog. I took a small bite of it. I gasped.
"It's so good!" I exclaimed as I took a bigger bite. The girls burst into a fit of laughter. I shook my head and continued to eat. The girls both stopped laughing and put their elbows on the table and rested their chins on their hands. They stared at me while I ate.
"What?" I finally asked.
"Nothing," Bella said, smiling.
"Rose. Look at you. Your eating human food," Alice giggled.
"I dare you," Bella said turning to Alice. Alice winced, but leaned over the table and took a big wiff of the tatertots.
"EW!" She screeched, holding her nose and fanning away the smell. "That stinks!"
Bella burst into laughter, and Alice joined in. I finished eating, slurping down the rest of the Pepsi.
"Okay, let's go." I said, getting up and dumping my tray. I layed my hand over my stomach. I felt my baby kick my hand with satisfactory.
So that's what you wanted, huh?, I thought toward my baby. She kicked me again. I laughed. Alice and Bella guessed it and giggled.
**************************
As we pulled into the drive-way, I saw Emmett waiting on the porch.
"Rose!" He yelled jumping up and taking me from the car. He pulled me into a hug. He reached down and kissed me, then quickly pulled away and yelled, "Ew! What was that?"
"Emmett," I said, calmly. "I. Ate. Human food."
He stared at me for exactly one minute. I was scared of what his response would be. He burst into laughing. He laughed and laughed and laughed. He even fell to the ground. His laughter rolled off and into the trees. I rolled my eyes and laughed, too. We sat there laughing for a while.
"Human food," He giggled. He picked me up and sighed, "Mrs. Hale, what are we going to do with you?"
I laughed and we raced to our house, him kissing me the whole way.
