Chapter 12
RPOV
I woke up to warm sunshine coming in through the window. I rolled over and expected to find Emmett sleeping next to me but the bed was empty. I sat up and stretched my arms above my head. I was just about to get out of bed when I heard the bedroom door open. Emmett walked in carrying a tray that held my breakfast and a single red rose. He walked over to the bed and said, "Happy Mother's Day, Babe." He sat down on the edge of the bed and sat the tray down between us.
"Why are you wishing me a happy mother's day?" I asked.
"Well you're going to be a mother in a few months and I already consider you a mother," Emmett replied.
"Thank you," I said smiling.
"Now, I made you chocolate chip pancakes and I put whip cream between them when I stacked them and I smothered them in syrup and I cut up some cantaloupe and put in the bowl with grapes and strawberries, and I also cooked the bacon to where it's just crunchy," he said and sat the tray on my lap.
I looked at him smiling and said, "All of my favorites."
"Yeah," he said smiling. "Now eat before it gets cold." I smiled and began eating. While I was eating I couldn't help but notice that his hair was wet. I knew that he had taken a shower when he got up but I couldn't help but wonder how long he'd been up.
"How long have you been awake?" I asked between bites.
"I got up at six and began cooking and then I took a shower at about seven and then I went back down stairs and cut up the fruit and fixed your plate and then came up here," he said.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"9:30 a.m.," Emmet replied.
I took the last bite of my food and said, "We're supposed to be at your parents' house at noon."
"I know, so now you need to get up and get ready?" Emmett said and kissed my cheek and picked up the tray. "Happy Mother's Day," he said again before he left.
I got out of bed and went into the bathroom and began getting ready. Once I was done in the bathroom I went into the closet and got dressed. I had chosen to wear one of the dresses I had bought Tuesday. It was an orange short sleeve smocked maternity dress by A Pea in the Pod. I paired it with a pair of brown wedge heel sandals. After I was ready I went down stairs and found Emmett in the kitchen. "I'm ready when you are," I said and he turned around.
"You look beautiful," Emmett said.
"Thank you," I replied and he kissed me.
"So, are you ready to go celebrate your first Mother's Day as a mother?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah," I said and he led me to the garage. He opened the passenger side door of the Navigator for me to get in. I went to get in and saw a blue Tiffany box sitting in the seat. "Emmett, what's that?" I asked and looked at him smiling.
"I don't know what it is Rose. Why don't you open it and find out?" Emmett replied.
I picked up the box and opened it. Nestled in the Tiffany blue velvet was a charm bracelet with five charms. The charms that were on the bracelet were a teddy bear, baby blocks, a baby cup, baby booties, and a duck. I looked at Emmett and said, "Is this from you?"
"Yeah," he replied smiling. He took the bracelet out of the box and put it on my left wrist. "Happy Mother's Day," he said again and kissed me. He pulled away and said, "We have to go."
"I know," I said and then got in the Navigator. Emmett shut my door and walked around and got in on the driver's side. He started the Navigator and backed out of the garage and headed toward his parents' house.
Thirty minutes later we were pulling into the driveway that lead up to the house. Emmett parked behind Jasper's truck. We got out of the Navigator and went inside. When we walked inside everyone was waiting in the living room. We exchanged hellos and sat and talked for a little while and then we all decided to go eat. We walked outside and Edward said, "Emmett, what happened to your Jeep?"
"Nothing, it's at the house," Emmett said.
"Then why are you driving a Lincoln Navigator?" Alice asked.
"Because that is Rose's new family car," Emmett said.
"You bought her a car?" Jasper asked.
"Well we'll have a baby in a few months and I don't think Rose's BMW would be the right car to drive a baby around in," Emmett said.
"It's lovely," Esme said.
"I like it," I replied.
"So, are you going for the whole soccer mom look now?" Bella asked.
"I don't know, maybe," I replied.
"Well let's get going. We can all admire the new car after we eat," Carlisle said and everyone got in their cars.
Two hours later we were back at the house and sitting in the living room waiting to exchange Mother's Day gifts. "I want to go first," Renesmee said and she handed a gift bag to Bella and another to Esme. "Happy Mother's Day, Momma and Grandma Esme."
Bella and Esme took out a picture frame that contained a picture of Renesmee in one slot, an ink print of her hand in another slot and a poem in the last slot. Bella and Esme showed everyone and Emmett asked, "What does it say?"
"It says," Bella said and began to read, "My hand print. Sometimes you get discouraged because I am so small. I always leave my fingerprints on the furniture and walls. But every day I'm growing up, and soon I'll be so tall, that all those little hand prints will be so hard to recall. Now here's a little hand print on this special day so you can see how my fingers looked on this Mother's Day in May."
"That's beautiful," I said. "Renesmee, where'd you get the poem?"
"My daddy found it," Renesmee said as she climbed into Edward's lap.
"It's very beautiful," I said.
"Thank you," Renesmee replied.
"Thank you, Nessie," Esme said.
"Yes, thank you Sweetheart," Bella said.
"I'll go next," Emmett said. He got up and handed a gift wrapped box to his mom. "It's from Edward, Alice, and me. Happy Mother's Day, Mom," he said and kissed her cheek.
Esme unwrapped the box and lifted the top. She picked up the engraved crystal and read it. "Oh kids, it's beautiful. Thank you," Esme said.
"Read it out loud, Mom," Alice said.
"Our mother kept a garden, a garden of the heart. She planted all the good things that gave our lives their starts. She turned us to the sunshine and encouraged us to dream, fostering and nurturing the seeds of self-esteem. Her constant good example always taught us right from wrong— markers for our pathways that will last a lifetime long. We are our mother's garden. We are her legacy— and we hope today she feels the love reflected back from us," Esme read.
"That's so beautiful," my mom said.
"Ok, my turn," I said and I walked over to my mom and handed her a gift wrapped box. "Happy Mother's Day, Momma," I said and hugged her.
She unwrapped the box and lifted the top off. She picked up the crystal and said, "I'm just going to go ahead and read it," my mom said. "Dear Momma, You filled my days with rainbow lights, fairytales and sweet dream nights. A kiss to wipe away my tears, Gingerbread to ease my fears. You gave the gift of life to me, and then in love, you set me free. I thank you for your tender care, for deep warm hugs and being there. I hope that when you think of me, A part of you, you'll always see. Love your Sunshine."
"Ok, my turn," Jasper said and took a gift bag over to our mom. "Happy Mother's Day, Momma," he said and kissed her cheek.
Our mom opened the gift bag and took out a box. She opened the box and took out a jewelry box. "Oh Jazz, it's beautiful. Thank you," our mom said and looked at him. "I'll read it now," our mom said and began to read. "Dear Mom, All the things you have done. The nights you stayed awake to make it better when it was wrong. You did it for my sake. God gave me the dearest Mother and whether I'm near of rat I'll cherish you Mom, because love is what you are. Love Always, Jazz."
"You have two of the sweetest kids ever," Esme said when my mom was done.
"I know, they're great," my mom replied.
"Ok, now I have something for my daughter-in-law," Esme said and handed Bella gift bag. "Happy Mother's Day, Dear."
Bella opened the bag and took out a scrapbook. "Thank you, Esme," Bella said.
"You're welcome, Dear. It's a scrapbook of your first five years as a mother," Esme replied.
"And now I have a gift for the girl that isn't my daughter-in-law but I consider to be my daughter-in-law," Esme said and handed me a gift bag.
"Esme, I can't accept this. I'm not a mother yet," I said.
"Of course you are Sweetie. You're just in the first steps of motherhood. You're in the nesting period where taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby," Esme replied.
I smiled and said, "Thank you," and began to open the bag. I opened the bag and nestled inside was a baby blanket. I took the baby blanket out and wrapped inside of it was a floppy teddy bear that I could tell had been broken in already. I looked at Esme and said, "Thank you."
Emmett, sitting beside me with his arm around me, looked down at what I was holding and exclaimed, "Bearington!" I looked at him and said, "That's Bearington, I got him form my grandma the day I was born and he never left my side until I was nine."
Esme and Carlisle were laughing and then Esme said, "That's right Emmett. That's your old teddy bear and baby blanket. I thought that you two might like to have them for your baby."
I looked at her and said, "Thank you very much." It was all I could do not to cry. It was such a sweet jester and then Emmett took the bear form me.
He held the bear up to his face and said, "It's been a while since I've seen you. I have so much to tell you," I couldn't help but laugh as Emmett went into his own little world with his teddy bear.
"I remember that bear," Edward said. "I remember I was four and Emmett was five and I was going to take the bear outside to play and as soon as I walked out into the backyard Emmett tackled me to the ground and ripped the bear out of my hands. He was very protective over it."
"Well he's my bear not yours," Emmett said and we all laughed.
"Ok, now I have a gift for my daughter on her first Mother's Day," my mom said and walked over to me. She handed me a gift bag and said, "I think that you will like this."
I opened the bag and took out the elephant that was nestled inside. I looked up at my mom and said, "This is-" I couldn't finish the sentence.
"Yeah, it is," my mom said.
I picked up the stuffed elephant that I had received on my second birthday and was taken back to all the times I had shared with it. "What is it?" Emmett asked.
"Cookie," I replied smiling.
"Cookie?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah, I got him when I was two. I used to take him everywhere. We went to sleep away camp together, we went to school together, he went to every cheerleading competition I went to, he's been through all of my breakups, and he knows all of my secrets," I said.
"Wow, and I thought that I was weird for carrying around my bear until I was nine," Emmett said.
"Well I kept Cookie in my room," I said.
"Ok," Emmett replied.
"Thank you, Momma," I said.
"You're welcome Sunshine but that's not all. There's more in the bag," my mom said.
I looked back in the bag and took out a jewelry box. I opened it and nestled in the black fabric was a silver necklace with a pair of baby shoes as the pendant. "Thank you," I said and hugged my mom.
"You're welcome," my mom replied and sat back down next to my father. We sat around the living room and talked some more.
At six Emmett stood up and said, "I'm going to take Rose home for the rest of her Mother's Day gifts."
"Well, it was very nice seeing both of you," Esme said and hugged each of us. We said our goodbyes and then went home.
Emmett parked the Navigator in the garage and we got out and went inside. Emmett led me upstairs and took me to the room beside ours. He opened the door and we walked in. The room was completely empty just like when we bought the house. "Emmett, why did you bring me up here?" I asked.
"To show you this," he said and walked over to the wall with the window. "Imagine the crib here and the rocker here so that you can look outside when you hold the baby. And over here," he walked to the wall across the room, "will be the changing table and everything you'll need to make the changes. And over there will be all the dressers. What do you think?"
"You thought out the nursery?" I asked.
"Yeah, I mean in a month we'll find out what the baby is and then we'll start picking out furniture and colors so I decided where everything should go," Emmett replied.
"Aw Baby, you're too sweet," I said and walked over to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. The kiss began to get passionate and Emmett picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist and he carried me to our bedroom. He lay down on his back on the bed with me on top of him. I sat up, straddling his lap, and took off my dress. Emmett rose up and took of his shirt and then attacked me with kisses. We rolled over to where I was on my back and Emmett hovered over me. He kissed down my neck and across my collar bone down across my breasts. He pulled back and looked at me. "What?" I asked.
"Are you sure we should do this?" Emmett asked.
"The doctor said it was fine," I replied.
"Ok," Emmett said and kissed my lips and cupped my breast and squeezed. I couldn't help but push him away. "What's wrong?" Emmett asked.
"You can't do that," I replied.
"Do what?" Emmett asked.
"Squeeze my breasts. It hurts," I said.
"I'm sorry," Emmett said and kissed me and everything else washed away.
XXXXXX MISSING LEMON XXXXXX
I woke up the next morning wrapped in the bed sheets and curled in Emmett's bare chest. I lay there and just the sun shine in while listening to Emmett's heart beat. I felt Emmett wrap his arms around me and kiss the top of my head. "Good morning," he said.
"Good morning," I said and kissed his chest.
"Last night was amazing," he said.
"Mhm," I replied.
Emmett turned over on his side to where he faced me and then I saw his eyes focus on something behind me. I saw something flash in his eyes that I had never seen before and then he said, "Oh God."
"What?" I asked.
"Oh God," he said again.
"What? What's wrong?" I said beginning to worry.
"The baby, I invaded the baby's space, I carelessly invaded the baby's space, the only place the baby can truly feel safe," Emmett said.
"Emmett, it's ok. Listen its ok," I said and sat up.
"Rose, we can't do that ever again," Emmett said and then got up and went into the bathroom. I heard the shower start and knew that the conversation had ended. I went into the closet and threw on some clothes and went downstairs. I grabbed my phone and called the only person I knew to call at a time like this.
Sorry that its short but this chapter and the next couple may be like that because it's sort of leading up to a long chapter with a lot of things happening at the same time. I hope you liked it and I hope that you review. Let me know what you think about the gifts and let me know who you think Rose called at the end. I'm also sorry that I left the end as a cliffy but I had to for my own sake. I hope you understand. Also the poll on what the baby should be is up and if you haven't yet go vote because you could make a big difference. Let me know what you think and what you think will happen.
