I want to thank all of my reviewers. Keep up the amazing support please! :)
I feel that you guys deserved a bit more updating from me... I am so sorry. I'm a ballerina, so I have rehearsals very frequently and this season is very very busy with extra dress rehearsals and practices and whatnot, so I apologize for the delays of new chapters.
"No Em!" Renesmee groaned as he himself got killed. "Get out of here Rose. Go shopping. You're too much of a distraction Rosalie. Em has to get to level 12 for me." Renesmee explained and gave me a quick hug before we departed.
"Alice, can I go change?" I asked her. I was pretty uncomfortable in this tight black dress.
"Oh my. Rosalie. You are not going into that 'I'm pregnant so now all I want to wear is sweatpants' phase are you?" Alice gasped. I laughed.
"No Alice. I just don't want to wear this to go shopping." I chuckled and opened the door to mine and Emmett's room going straight to the closet and picking out the first outfit that I could find. A fifties style dark chocolate brown skirt with a tight turquoise blouse and a brown scarf with my hair piled up in a vintage up do. I stepped out of the closet and struck a pose.
"Ooooh Rose. You look cute! One hot Mom let me tell you." Alice laughed. I twirled and followed Alice out the door, grabbing my purse on the way. Alice and I shopped for hours, honestly buying things for ourselves instead of the baby. Alice was trying on a cute dress when I saw it in the window across the street. It was the most beautiful tiny pink dress for my daughter. I squealed to Alice that I was going across the street to pick it up, but, while I was there I of course picked out much more than I should and Alice came in impatiently. "Rosalie! You've been in here for an hour." She laughed.
"Oh really?" I smiled and picked up another cute dress and stacked it into my arms. It would help if Emmett was here but he said he was going to be busy. I think he was just trying to get out of the second shopping spree Alice and I had made in a month's time. He could carry much more than I could. I finally made it to pay and the woman swiped my card wordlessly handing me seven huge sacks. Yeah, my child would be spoiled. I smiled widely as I asked Alice to carry two of the bags. She huffed and picked them up effortlessly.
"Emmett is going to kill you when he sees all of this pink." Alice joked. I looked down into the bags. It was a sea of pink, and one frilly white dress. I was going to have the girliest daughters in the entire world. I smiled as I envisioned their future and their star quality lives. Even a celebrity's daughter wouldn't have as perfect a life as mine would. I smiled and closed my eyes and felt a soft yet still painful kick in my stomach. I actually enjoyed this pain, it made me know that my babies were there. I snapped my eyes open and gasped after a long moment.
"Alice! We have to think of names!" I smiled widely taking her hand and tugging her out of the store. We had so many packages stacked into the yellow Porsche, that it was hard to see out of the rear view mirror as we drove back home.
"Hmmm…. Names…. It has to be elegant and old fashioned, and of course unique." Alice pondered for a long while. "You could name her after you." She said. "What about Lillian? And she could be called Lily for short. Then there would be Rose, and Lily." She smiled.
"That's beautiful Alice!" I clapped my hands together excitedly. "But I'm not sure…. Hmm…" Alice and I were still turning over millions of names until we finally made it back to the hotel. I called Emmett on the cell phone so he could come help carry the packages inside. I looked back to see just how much we had bought and told him to bring Jasper too. Emmett and Jasper came to our rescue quickly. Emmett opened one of the bags of baby clothes and moaned.
"Rooooose it's all pink." He clapped a hand to his forehead. I shrugged.
"She's a girly girl what can I say?" I smiled and stroked my stomach subconsciously again.
"What if she wants to be a tomboy huh?" He joked with me. I was utterly repulsed. I rolled my eyes. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me quickly.
"And besides, I needed to go get double the baby clothes since there's going to be two little girls." I tried to keep myself from squealing the last part. Alice let out the squeal I was trying to repress.
"Rosalie?!" Alice shrieked. "Two?!" I nodded and smiled. I couldn't believe my good fortune. Two beautiful laughing, wonderful, children that were all my own. I didn't want this time to rush, but I so desperately wanted to be able to hold my children in my arms right now in this moment. I closed my eyes and laid my head on Emmett's shoulder fantasizing for a long moment. I tried to dream up what they would look like, the sounds of their voices, their personalities, and how they would grow and change before my eyes. Hopefully… I didn't even think of the other possibility that they wouldn't grow up. I didn't want them to grow as fast as Nessie did though. I wanted them to grow like normal human children. But I knew they couldn't…
"Yes. Twins." I announced. Jasper's eyes widened. Emmett let go of me and looked at me in repulsion.
"Rosalie, you're kidding about two girls right?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, no." I rolled my eyes.
"I say one is going to be a he." Emmett said confidently. I considered for a moment and then sighed in defeat.
"As long as he's just like you." I teased cooing disgustingly and tapping the end of his nose with my fingertip. He smiled widely.
"Then he'll put frogs in your little girl's bed." Emmett stuck his tongue out at me.
"And she'll make him play dolls." I challenged. Emmett gasped in incredulity.
"And he'll put mud on her dress." Emmett grinned.
"And she'll take him to ballet class." I threatened him, crossing my arms.
"And he'll cut her little blonde braids off." Emmett smiled knowing he'd won. I narrowed my eyes. Alice gasped at the threat of cutting hair.
"You will not encourage such behavior Emmett McCarty Cullen." I said in half teasing. I was actually serious, he would not ever let our son even touch one hair on our daughter's beautiful head.
"I remember doing all those things to my sister one time." Emmett mused remembering his human life. He smiled widely. "But I promise. If he's anything like me, he'll be…" Emmett trailed off.
"Crazy?" Jasper tried to finish his sentence.
"Senseless?" Edward raised an eyebrow stepping into the room and smiling. Emmett rolled his eyes.
"No devastatingly awesome at everything, man." Emmett said like that was the most obvious thing in the entire world. I was getting hungry again and my latest craving was fruit smoothies so I leaned back over into the car reaching for the cup in the cup holder. I brought the straw to my lips and sucked on it lightly. Emmett looked at me like I was crazy. Whoops. I forgot to tell him, I ate human food now… "Umm Rose?" Emmett asked in utter confusion.
"I… It tastes better than blood." I shrugged. His eyes widened and he sighed.
"This is getting really funny Rose." He chuckled. "I can't believe you're drinking that stuff." He wrinkled his nose at the scent. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. I felt a hard, kick from the baby and I stiffened. "Rosalie." Emmett said simply stroking my cheek lightly the suffering subsiding quickly. He was looking at me terribly concerned as I hunched over like someone had just punched me in the stomach... Oh no. Oh no. I felt it coming. The fire. It scorched through my veins fast and furious. I dropped to my hands and knees and crawled as quickly as I could to the nearest bathroom. Emmett knew exactly what I was wanting somehow so he swiftly picked me up and carried me quickly up the stairs to our bathroom. He set me down wordlessly and the throwing up started. I felt Alice's freezing hand on my back stroking it comfortingly (but it didn't bring the unnatural comfort that Emmett gave me) and holding my hair away from my face as I continued the horrid regurgitating. The baby kicked me again harder than ever before. I let out a piercing scream as I heard a screeching metallic sound and I began gasping for breath.
"Carlisle!" Alice shrieked as I cried out again. Emmett stroked my cheek watching me scream as the fire worsened instead of got better. I felt sharp pain again and clenched my chattering teeth. Emmett pressed his hands to my face to release me from the fiery pits of hell. Suffering ended, and I felt so… protected. I fell into Emmett's arms breathing quickly and labored cries ripping through my throat furiously. I heard Carlisle's footsteps race up the stairs and throw open the door. He knelt beside me and examined the damage. He reached for the hem of my shirt and I shoved his hand away, I knew he would find my bruise-like marks. Emmett inched my shirt up and froze as the moving of the fabric revealed the black marks on my stomach.
"Oh Rosalie…" He moaned tracing his fingers ever so lightly along the outlines of one of the bruises. "No…" He murmured.
"Carlisle it hurts." I cried through clenched teeth, touching my fingers to my ribs. He felt along the outlines of my bones and froze, his eyes widening.
"It's broken." He announced in disbelief. "The child broke your rib!" He seemed more fascinated with this than horrified. I thought nothing could hurt me! I was an immortal vampire right?
"Carlisle be serious!" Emmett groaned.
"I'm afraid I am…" Carlisle was still puzzling over how this could have happened. "It is inside and it does have its unnatural strength, so I guess it is possible break her…" Carlisle pondered aloud. Emmett flinched at the mention of breaking me.
