Chapter 12: Staying True

Rosalie sighed as she sat on the porch swing. "Jasper what do I do?" she asked her twin brother. Jasper rubbed his forehead.

"Rosalie…you knew exactly what you were walking into when you came back," he pointed out.

"Yeah but I didn't think he was thinking about having an affair with me!" She exclaimed.

Jasper was about to answer when a one-year-old toddled over to him. "Dada," he called, raising his arms. Jasper smiled and kissed is son's forehead, picking him up. Rosalie swallowed slightly.

"Jazz…my life is spinning so fast," she whispered.

He set his son down again and walked over to his sister, pulling her up from her chair, and hugged her gently. She let out a small sob. "It's going to be okay," he whispered, rubbing her back.

"God I'm so not used to this crying stuff," she commented.

Jasper chuckled softly, pressing his forehead against the side of her head. "Even as kids the boys would pick on you and you'd just break their noses," he quipped. Rosalie continued to hug him, her eyes were closed now. "Everything will be okay," he assured her.

"How is everything going to be okay?" She asked.

Before Jasper could answer, he felt his son tugging on his pant leg. "Dada!" He called again, tears showing in his blue eyes.

"Jazz, I think your son is feeling neglected," she commented.

Jasper grinned as he picked him up again. "Where's your mom Chris?" He asked. Chris put his head on Jasper's shoulder.

"Probably inside wondering of what else she needs to buy," Rosalie replied with a grin.

"I heard that," Alice told them, coming out.

They all sat back down and Chris was starting to fall asleep from the rocking motion of the swing and being close to his dad. "I'm not going to ruin Emmett's marriage," Rosalie told them.

"No one was saying that you should," Alice answered as she held Chris's tiny hand.

"I have an idea, why don't we all go out tonight? We'll call Edward and Bella and go out to the club tonight," Jasper suggested.

"Oh! That sounds like fun!" Alice exclaimed.

Rosalie nodded. "I'll call Shelby tonight and see if she can baby sit," she agreed.

"Nonsense! Mom loves watching the kids," Alice answered.

"Only two of them are Esme's grandkids and that's Chris and Morgan," Rosalie told her.

"So? Mom loves to take care of Emma too, she thinks she's such a sweetheart," Alice answered.

Rosalie let out a sigh. "Okay, tell your mom I'll drop Emma off at 5," she informed.

"Great!" Alice exclaimed.

Chris looked at Alice before giving Jasper a weird look. "Yeah, I know, mama's crazy," Jasper chuckled. Rosalie laughed slightly.

(Club)

Rosalie walked into the club hearing the loud music blasting through the speakers and the lights flashing everywhere. "ROSALIE!" Jasper called over the crowd. She looked over to see Jasper and Alice at the bar and walked over to her.

"Hey, where's Edward and Bella?" She asked.

"Edward talked Bella into a dance," Alice replied, gesturing over to the dance floor.

Rosalie sat down and smiled to see the two of them having a great time. "Surprise they don't have a whole bunch of kids. Remember how they were in high school?" Alice asked.

"Oh you mean when they were all over each other?" Rosalie answered with a grin.

"What makes that any different from now?" Jasper asked.

The three of them laughed slightly and Rosalie ordered a martini. "Difference now is that Edward doesn't have to beg her to do anything anymore," she replied. Alice laughed.

"Remember when Bella didn't want to wear the engagement ring?" She asked.

"Oh God, took Edward forever to convince her to put it on," Rosalie replied laughing.

"I still think Alice is still mad that Bella put her foot down about the rules for the wedding," Jasper commented, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"I had the most beautiful wedding all planned out for them," Alice pouted.

Rosalie took a sip of her martini. "You had a guest list of 200 people and they only knew 20 of them that was on the list," she answered.

"I can't believe you were going to invite everyone at Forks High, especially Lauren. Come on Ali, you know how much Lauren hated Bella in high school," Jasper pointed out.

"I was just trying to make it special," Alice pouted.

"Is this seat taken?" A voice asked.

Rosalie looked over to see Emmett there. "Shouldn't you be with your wife?" She asked.

"With the mother-in-law there ganging up on me about having a kid?" He asked.

Rosalie shrugged and took a sip of her martini. "Forget it Emmett," she answered.

"Can we just talk civilly? Please?" He asked.

Jasper grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her out onto the dance floor. "Okay, you wanted to talk," she told him before ordering another martini.

"I'm sorry I did that the other night," he told her.

"No you're not," she answered.

The guy brought over another martini. "If you were sorry you wouldn't have kept testing me if I was going to tell you to leave when you know I couldn't," she muttered. Emmett rubbed his forehead. "Also, what gives you the right to corner me in my own house?" She asked. He was quiet. "God Emmett…you're so infuriating! Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'm desperate for a date especially with a married man!" She exclaimed. Emmett was quiet. "You think we're just going to start right back from where we left off you've got another thing---" she was cut off when his lips were suddenly on hers. Rosalie was stunned and her brain was screaming at her to push him away, scream him or something. Emmett pulled back with a grin on his face.

"That wasn't so bad was it?" he asked.

"How cute you repeated the same words you said when we kissed on our first date," she muttered, crossing her arms over her chest.

Emmett chuckled. "You look so cute when you do that," he answered. She glared at him. "I can see where Emma gets that from," he quipped.

"You're married," she reminded him.

"But I'm in love with you," he answered, his hands on each side of her, trapping her there.

"Doesn't matter, I won't become the other woman," she told him.

Emmett sighed, pulling away. "Emmett, think about it okay? We were young, we had fun. It was a blast, but now we're older and that part of our lives is older," she told him. She swallowed. "Emmett…we'll never be as we were four years ago," she whispered as she got up and left the club.
