So I must apologize. I meant to have this up this morning, but FFn was being a huge fail all day until recently, and I didn't want to risk it.

"Hello." I said picking up my cell phone as I laid in bed. We had been in LA for the passed five days, and I had been sleeping most of it. The few hours I had spent awake each day were used eating, bathing, and trying to seduce Emmett. But he stuck his guns, he had been nothing but a caring husband as I threw myself at him.

"Hey how are you feeling?" I smiled as I heard Alice's voice come through the receiver. She and I hadn't really had a chance to talk since the night before the accident. Everytime she called, I was either asleep, or falling asleep. And taking care of Amelia, Jasper, and Esme took up so much of her time that she didn't really have a free minute herself. We had pretty much been playing phone tag for the past few days.

"I'm better. I don't know if I am getting use to the pain, if I am actually healing, or if the drugs are just that good." I said. I had barely left the bed since we got home from the hospital.

"Here's to hoping it's either you're healing or the drugs." Alice replied laughing. I smiled trying to control my laughter to keep the pain at bay.

"Yea well, I am trying not to take the medication so. Maybe it's healing."

"Why aren't you taking the medication?" Alice asked surprised.

"It makes me so high, and say the dumbest things. Last night I had an hour conversation with Emmett about how perfect his penis is." I heard Alice bust out laughing as I spoke. "And he just sat there and let me talk." I finished.

"You talked to him about his penis?"

"Well I do think about it, but I never say anything. That's why I am trying not taking the drugs. They make me say everything I think about, and Emmett does not need to know I think he has a great penis. He thought it was great before I opened my big mouth."

"True. Emmett has huge ego, but from what you tell me it is well deserved." Alice said. I didn't have to see her to know that she was wiggling her eyebrows. Yes, I have had many conversations with Alice about how great sex is with Emmett. I mean that's what girlfriends do, but you shouldn't talk about it with your husband. It's embarrassing.

"Yea it is, but he doesn't need to know that I know that. He has been reminding me of the conversation all day. And I'm not even getting anything out of it."

"What?" Alice asked confused.

"Meaning I'm not getting laid." I clarified.

"Rose, you can't have sex right now."

"You sound like Emmett." I rolled my eyes.

"You broke your ribs, Rose. How is getting some high on your list of things to do?"

"It's been two weeks Alice, and Emmett keeps walking around here half naked as if he thinks it doesn't turn me on." I defended. "And he knows it does."

"I just think it would be detrimental for you to have sex right now."

"Don't worry, Emmett has refused all my advances and offers." I huffed cringing as the air left my lungs quickly. That did not feel good.

"Wait. What kind of offers are you giving him?" Alice asked instantly curious.

"Blowjobs everyday for month. To wash his car in a white bathing suit or tee shirt which ever he preferred. I even said I would wear a french maid outfit one day when I clean our house and made dinner. You know he asked me to do that on our honeymoon, and I laughed in his face. I thought I could use it to my advantage now."

"Wow. Desperate much."

"Oh please. I sure you hopped on Jasper as soon as you got home."

"I didn't break my ribs." Alice defended. As if I needed that thrown in my face.

"Whatever, how's Jasper? I'm sure he is treating you better since he had a surprise extra 24 hours with Amelia sprung on him." I said changing the subject. I didn't want to talk about Alice having sex, if I was getting none.

"Well let's just say he is helping out more than he use to. Jasper now has more of an appreciation for the stay at home mother."

"That's good. I didn't want to have to beat his ass when I came back to Tennessee." I replied.

"Rose, you can't kick anyone's ass right now."

"Well he would have at least gotten yelled at." I countered.

"Speaking of shit husbands, how's Emmett been treating you?"

"Like I'm breakable." I answered immediately.

"I'm not talking about your sex life, Rose."

"Perfect." I said quietly just incase Emmett was around. I had no idea where he was in this house, but knowing my luck he would have walked at that exact moment. That man did not need to hear another thing come out of my mouth that would stoke his ego.

"Good, I gave him a stern talking to in the hospital."

"I heard." I said sarcastically.

"He need to be told he was being an ass." Alice defended.

"I don't disagree with you, but I am sure there was a better time to do it other than when I was laying in my hospital bed, and he thought I could have died."

"He didn't think you were dead, I had been updating him on your status every five seconds. He just needed another reminder of how important you are to him."

"Think the accident was great reminder."

"Well I put the cherry on top of the sundae."

"All I'm saying is that maybe you should have done it when we came back to Tennessee."

"Whatever, I don't regret it." She dead panned.

"Okay then." I responded knowing that she wasn't going to admit she was a little wrong in her timing. "How's Esme?"

"Tried, but good." She responded quietly. I know this was hard for her to talk about , but I wanted, no I needed to know. With both Emmett and I being on the other side of the country and me being hurt, we were kind of in the dark. "Tests show that they did get all of the tumor and cancer cells. It's just the radiation therapy makes her so tired."

"We knew that was a side effect Alice." I said trying to reassure her that that was normal. "And it's a good thing they got it all." I added.

"I know. But she's not her self anymore. She was always so lively, and now she just sleeps."

"But she will get better. She's getting better now."

"Yea," Alice sighed. "So when are you coming back?" She asked changing the subject. She obviously didn't want to talk about this right now.

"I dunno. Emmett and I talked about it last night."

"Before or after you talked about his penis." She interrupted.

"I'm ignoring that. Anyways, we will probably be back by Wednesday at the latest. Emmett getting stir crazy being cooped up in this house." I said as I heard Amelia scream on the other end of the line.

"I bet. Emmett was never one for standing still. Anyways Amelia just got fussy. I guess it's time for her bath. I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Yea sure. Give her a kiss for me." I said as Alice hung up. Speaking to her again made me realize how much I missed home. Nothing about LA said home for me anymore except for the fact that Emmett was here. He was my home. No matter how bad he treated me or how much he pissed me off, he was always my home. And having Alice and everyone else was just the icing on the cake. They were the first real family I ever had. And I cherished every moment with them. The dinners. The arguments. The holidays. They made me realize what family was all about. They loved each other whole-heartedly, and I was lucky enough to be welcomed into the circle. I could just see Alice playing with Amelia before her bath. Throwing her in the air as she giggled, before placing her in the warm tub. Now that's a good idea, I thought as I heard Emmett footsteps as he climbed the stairs.

"Emmett." I said quietly as he walked into the bedroom.

"Yea babe." He came and sat next to me on the bed.

"Could you run me water for my bath?" Emmett pushed some of my hair out of my eyes, and kissed my forehead.

"Of course." He replied standing and walked into the bathroom. I knew as soon as he came back it was time to put my plan in action. Looking in the mirror that sat across the room facing the bed, I tried to fix my hair into a slight tousled, just sexed look, and applied some chap-stick that was on the night stand. It was all I had available within my reach. I pouted my lips a little as Emmett walked back into the bedroom.

"So how's this no drugs thing going?" He asked sitting on the right side of the bed.

"Good, I haven't said anything embarrassing yet." I answered raising my eyebrows at him.

"It's not embarrassing to flatter your husband."

"You don't need flattery." I responded, but he was getting me distracted. I had to get back on course. Placing my hand on his thigh, I spoke. "I have a really weird question to ask you."

"What's that?" Looking up at him through my eyelashes, because I knew that turned him on, I licked my lips.

"Do you think you could wash my hair?" I asked in the sweetest voice possible. "I can't really reach it all." I explained.

"I'm here to help with whatever you need, babe." Emmett said standing as he grabbed my good arm helping me get out of bed. Pulling me into the bathroom, he let go of my hand, and turn off the facet. I slipped my baby doll nightie over my shoulder and let it pool at my feet. Emmett's eyes widened as he took in my naked form when he turned around to face me. Phase one: get his attention complete.

"You ready for me?" I asked in a low seductive voice smirking at him. Keeping that dumbfounded look on his face, he nodded his head. Walking towards him, I made sure to brush my chest against his bare arm before I stepped in the tub. As I lowered myself in the warm water, a moan escaped my mouth.

"Are you okay? Is it too hot?" Emmett asked as concern flooded his face.

"It's perfect." I said smiling at him. "The water feels wonderful on my skin." I added running my hand across my collar bone. I watched Emmett's eyes follow my fingertips as they brushed across the skin above my breast. I had him right where I wanted him. He took a deep breath and let it out harshly.

"Where's the shampoo?" He asked quickly in low voice. I pointed to the bottle, and watched Emmett grab it along with a large cup and sat on the lip of the tub. Filling the cup with the bath water, he told me to lean my head back, and pour it over my head.

I closed my eyes as the warm liquid ran down my back.

"Mmm." I moaned when I felt his hand begin to massage shampoo into my hair. Originally I was going to moan for the effect it would have on Em, but it really did feel good.

"God, Em that feel so good." I half whispered leaning my head further into his hands. I closed my eyes and bit my lip as I felt his nails scrap my scalp. That I added in for his benefit.

"Oh." I gasped as he poured my water over my head washing out the shampoo. I opened my eyes to see him shift in his seat. That meant one thing, this was working. Looking up into his hooded eyes, I licked my lips as he squirt conditioner in his hand.

As soon as he was lathering it in my hair, another moan escaped my lips.

"I knew you had magic hands." I said looking into his eyes.

"Rosalie." Emmett chided in a warning causing me to giggle lightly.

"What Emmett? It feels really good." I said smirking at him as he dipped the cup in the water and poured it over my head. Phase two: Turn him on was a success.

As soon as the conditioner was washed out, he was standing in the middle of the bathroom.

"I'm gonna go get you a towel." He said not looking at me before briskly leaving the room. I washed my body quickly knowing that he would be back soon. Time for phase three: get some.

By the time he returned, I was stand in the center of the tub letting the water drip off my body.

"I hope you've got a big towel. I'm all wet." I watched Emmett's face darken as the words left my mouth. As I stepped out of the tub, he engulfed me it a large navy blue towel. I made sure to step as close to him as possible, and a groan left his mouth as his erection pushed into my stomach.

"Somebody's happy to see me." I said biting my lip as I looked up at him. He licked his lips before he ran his hands down my sides to my ass and leaned down to kiss me. When his lips touched mine, I ran my tongue against his skin begging for entrance. As soon as his mouth opened, I assaulted his tongue with mine. A moan escaped my mouth, when I felt him grabbed my ass. God how I had miss this, I thought as Emmett went to kissing my neck. I closed my eyes as his tongue ran from the nape of my neck to my earlobe, which he lightly bit. I was broken out of our bubble of ecstasy by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

"Thank God." Emmett whispered to himself as he back away from me and began to leave to room.

"Where are you going?" I asked watching his retreating form.

"To get the door." He said before turning back to me. "And I'm on to you Rose. I know what your up to." He added pointing at me.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I lied. Phase three was a fail. Emmett turned on his heal and left the room. Wanting to know who was at the door, I moved as quickly as I could, mind you it wasn't very fast at all, and put on my robe. As I walked out to the upper landing which overlook the foyer, I saw Emmett talking to Garrett. Fuck it's Sunday.

"Hey Rose how are you feeling?' He asked smiling up at me.

"Wonderful. I'm so happy you here." I said sarcastically.

"Yea, we're going to watch some football in the theater you've got here." Garrett replied not catching on to my tone.

"Lovely. I guess Kate didn't need you for anything today, like heavy lifting." I said causing Emmett to give me a stern look that said knock it off.

"Nope." Garrett said confused.

"Great." I said smiling. "I gonna go take some drugs now, but you guys have fun." I finished before walking back into the bedroom shutting the door. I know I shouldn't have acted that bitter, but I'm really frustrated. I was so close to getting what I wanted, and he had to go and ruin it unknowingly. Grabbing the bottle of pills on the nightstand, I walked to into the bathroom, and swallowed one. So much for my drug free policy.

I woke in my robe to my pillow buzzing underneath me. With my eyes closed, my hand skimmed over the mattress until the came into contact with my cell phone. Rolling from my side to my back, I looked at the screen to see my mother face staring back at me. Shit.

I had been lucky enough to be asleep everytime she called, and I had Kate talk to her when I was in the hospital. But now that she knew I was out, she had been calling nonstop expecting me to answer. Knowing that I would be unable to avoid her forever, now was as good a time as any.

"Hey Mom. Maggie." I corrected.

"Oh Rosie," She signed into the phone. I guess our last conversation in New York was long forgotten. "I have been so worried about you. You haven't returned my phones call. I am this close to hopping an a plane to LA." Dear God no.

"That's really not necessary." I responded quickly. "Emmett is here taking great care of me." I said slowly sitting up and wincing. For some reason the pain was worse, now.

"Oh Rose, there is no way that caveman is taking good care of my baby."

"He's doing a great job."

"Well where is he now?" She asked.

"Downstairs watching football." I answered. As soon as I said it, I knew I should have lied.

"He left you!" She yelled into my ear. "This is called neglect Rose. We can sue."

"It's not neglect and we can't sue. We're not paying him." I said rolling my eyes.

"This is not good care Rosalie. He is not doing a great job. A good husband would have never left your side." She replied punctuating each word as if she were giving me a lecture. "And we are paying him."

"How is he getting paid for this?" I questioned.

"He married you. He has access to your accounts. That means you're paying him."

"Well in that case, I am paying you too." I said under my breath.

"What?"

"Nothing." I said louder. "It's fine. I'm okay. Emmett's doing a great job."

"You are letting him watch football Rose! You should come before football. He choose football over you."

"Actually, I insisted that he watch with his friends instead of take care of me." I replied not wanted her to place all her anger on Emmett.

"That's because you are a nice person, Rose. He is taking advantage of you.

"It's really not that big of a deal." I replied shaking my head even though she couldn't see me.

"That man doesn't deserve you." I went quiet after that. The was no way I was going to change her mind about Emmett. She will always see him as a dumb country boy with no money or education. It didn't matter that none of that was true. Emmett had a steady job, never touched my money, and was way smarter than most people gave him credit for. But Margaret Hale was not going to change her mind. She never changed her mind.

"Told you you should have gotten a annulment. Oh well. I am not going to allow him to treat you like this. You are Rosalie Hale for god sakes. I'm getting on the next flight to California."

"No. No. No. I think your over reacting." I interrupted.

"Over reacting. Rose, you need to heal so that you can work. And a man who is down stairs watching football does not have your best interest at heart." Crap, she dead set on coming here.

"Well, we're to Tennessee tomorrow, so maybe you can stay in our house there." I said knowing she would refuse. Our house was small. It was in the woods. We had a dog. And there wasn't a Bloomingdales near by.

"I am not staying in that awful town, Rosalie. Come to New York. There are amazing doctors here sweetie."

"Carlisle is an amazing doctor." I defended.

"Yea in a small hick town. Rose you are better than this."

"I am not going anywhere."

"Oh my God. Hanging out with those country people has made you dumb." She said in disbelief.

"Maggie I am going back to Tennessee and that's it."

"Fine, but I am going to call everyday to make sure they are treating you right." she said giving up. "And the second they aren't you are getting on a flight up here."

"Okay." I replied knowing that would never happen.

"Alright honey I have to go. You know it's fashion week here and I have front row ticket to Marc Jacobs. Take care." She said hanging up. God I hate that women. I should do as Emmett says and cut her off, but she has done so much for me when I was helpless. Shaking my head, I tried to forget that that conversation ever happened. I heard yelling down stairs as dialed Kate.

"Is Garrett annoying you? Cause I'll come get him." She answered.

"No, I can barely hear them." I responded.

"Good. Cause I told him he better not bother you or else wasn't getting any for a long time." Why is everyone rubbing it in my face that they can have sex and I can't?

"That's great." I said sarcastically.

"Do you need something?"

"Actually yes. Can you get us on a plane to Tennessee as soon as possible. My mother called."

"Oh no." Kate knew how awful my mother was and how much I hated her.

"The longer I stay here that higher chance there is of her coming to visit."

"Okay well. The best I can do is probably Tuesday."

"Whatever. We'll take it." Tennessee here we come.

Yes this was a fluff chapter. But with Tennessee comes drama, and I wanted them to have a little more time to themselves. Anyways, Thanks to Cydney94 for help me with seduction ideas for Rose.
