Across the Ocean Chapter 13, a twilight fanfic

This is definitely a longer chapter - Hope everyone enjoys

While I got ready Emmett called Edward and Bella. They were getting ready to go with us. Emmett looked online and found a karaoke bar that opened at eight. So it was decided we would eat something then go.
I came out of the bathroom an hour later. I had to calm myself down twice. I was wearing a pair of Miss Me jeans with a long sleeve green shirt and scarf. I had my breathtaking engagement ring on and brown boots.
Emmett was in the kitchen when I walked in still fighting with the latch on my charm bracelet. I walked up and he took it from me and hooked it without saying a word. When he looked up at what I was wearing he groaned and lifted me onto the kitchen island.
"Fuck me. Bring bail money..."
"What? Why?"
"Babe, you are seriously sex on legs and the first person that touches you I am going to beat to death." I leaned in and kissed him.
"I'm yours, Em..." He grounded his hard on into my core and I moaned. Then he kissed me hard.
"Alright you too, break it up." We heard from the door. Emmett growled and pulled me closer again.
Finally coming up for air he pulled me off the counter. As I walked towards the door I felt the smack on my ass. I turned to look at him and he had his huge grin on his face.
"Plenty more where that came from, Rosie Girl." He said with a wink. I just shook my head and kept walking.

Walking into the bar I tensed up. I hadn't been near a bar since the incident. I looked down and saw my hands shaking. When I looked up I caught Edward's eye. He was looking worried.
"I am going to get some drinks. What does everyone want?" Emmett said, looking at each of us.
"Beer." Edward ordered.
"Beer." Bella ordered.
"Water." Emmett gave me a funny look when I ordered water, but nodded and went to the bar.
"Rose, are you alright?" I looked up to Edward and nodded my head.
"This is the first time I've been to a bar... or even near a bar."
"Why didn't you say something to Em. He would have understood."
"Understood what?" We all looked up at Emmett who was behind us holding our drinks.
"Nothing, I will be fine. Just nervous, that's all." Emmett sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around me and kissed the side of my head.

"So who is going first?" Emmett looked around at us.
"Well, I want to sing Begin Again by Taylor Swift." I said looking around. Emmett got up and walked to the stage then brought back a paper.
"I'm singing some Garth Brooks." Em said while writing.
"I'll sing My Best Friend." Edward said and Bella smiled and kissed him.
"I'll do Strawberry Wine." Bella said.
Emmett went and turned in the paper.

When the DJ called me up, I was nervous. Everyone said I had a great voice but I was nervous. I took a deep breath and walked to the mic.

Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't like this song
But I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
I walk to you
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do, I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did
I've been spending the past eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

And we walk down the block to my car and I almost brought him up
But you start to talk about the movies that your family watches
Every single Christmas and I want to talk about that
And for the first time
The past is past

Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did
I've been spending the past eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again
But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

Emmett was on his feet clapping and hollering. I walked back to the table and he kissed me like there was noone else in the room. He broke away and let me catch my breath.
"Fuck, I love you. It's my turn though."
I just nodded and he walked up to the stage.
His voice was so incredible while he was singing. By the time he was half way through I just wanted to take all his clothes off.

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

I stood up clapping and smiling. As he sat down at the table he pulled me into his lap and situated me over his hard cock underneath me. I squirmed a little and he finally held onto my hip so I couldn't move.
I leaned in and kissed him. I couldn't get enough. I just wanted all things Emmett. Finally I heard Edward's throat clear and I looked up.
"Guys, uh... People are staring."
"Don't you have a song to sing?" Emmett asked and Bella started laughing.
"We have both already sang ours." I blushed and hid my face. We must have been making out for a while.
"Come on Rosie, I want to sing a duet." We walked up to the stage and Emmett signed us up.
"Should I be worried I won't know this song?"
"Do you like Lady A?"
I shook my head yes and the song started. I smiled as I heard the intro.

(Emmett)
Hey, what ya drinking baby?
Girl you're beautiful, you're 'bout near perfect
But I bet somebody's already told you that
Name your poison, name your passion
'Cause a boy like me just couldn't help but ask
(Rosalie)
Keep on talking to me baby
I'm hanging on your every word
Keep those drinks a coming
Maybe we'll both get what we deserve
(Both)
How 'bout baby we make a promise
And not promise anything more than one night?
Complicated situations only get worse in the morning light
Hey, I'm just looking for a good time
(Emmett)
Put in a long hard week doing this 9 to 5
And you're just the girl to get that off my mind
You shouldn't have worn that dress, you shouldn't dance like that
You got this little heart of mine in overdrive
(Rosalie)
I sure love this conversation
The band is good, the music's loud
But would you get the wrong impression
If I called us a cab right now? Oh yeah!
(Both)
How 'bout baby we make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night?
Complicated situations only get worse in the morning light
Hey, I'm just looking for a good time
(Rosalie)
Go ahead and lie to me and pull me close
Tell me that you love me even if you don't
The rule is don't you ever even talk about forever
But you never say never in life!
(Both)
How 'bout baby we make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night?
Complicated situations only get worse in the morning light
Hey, I'm just looking for a good time
Hey, I'm just looking for a good time!

Everyone was clapping and on their feet as we left the stage. Another couple went up to the stage and we went to the dance floor. Emmett held me close as slow song was sung.
"Thank you." I said as he held me.
"For what, Beautiful?"
"For making the most out of the day. We could have laid in bed and wollowed in self pity, but we got out and did something fun. Making the most out of all the crap being thrown at us."
"You are worth it. We have the rest of our lives to be pissed. Tonight though, it's just us."
I laid my head on Emmett's shoulder and closed my eyes as he held us dancing to the slow song. When the song ended we went back to the table sat with Bella and Edward.
"Hey Rose, remember that time you rubbed up against that guy in the underwear iasle?" Bella said laughing. Edward and Emmett both gave us weird looks, so I knew I had to explain. No matter how embarrassing it was going to be... I shot Bella an evil glare as I started. Bella was already laughing before I even started.
"Oh God... Bella, why?"
"Just tell the story..."
"Do you remember last Valentines Day when you got silky boxers? Well I was bored. We were in that stupid underwear iasle for ever. Bella couldn't make up her mind so I slipped on a pair of those silky boxers and was going to rub up against her. She was standing behind me so I pulled them on and rubbed my butt on her. I quickly realized it was not Bella. I looked up and Bella was at the other end of the iasle laughing so hard she had tears running down her face. Then I turned around and there is this huge black man behind me. So I took off running to Bella and trying to get the boxers off. I tripped getting to her and fell on my face.
I was so embarrassed. She promised to never tell a soul."
Everyone at the table busted out laughing and I even started laughing too. Looking back it was halarious but at the time it was definitely not funny. Emmett was laughing so hard he was leaning his head on me and his entire body was shaking. Edward had Bella wrapped in his arms and both of them were laughing hystarically. I had to think of something to get her back though.
"So Bella, tell everyone how you learned to cook." I said looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"That isn't fair!" Both Emmett and Edward's head shot up and looked at Bella. Her head was in her hands.
"Come on Bella... Tell them. You know Edward would LOVE to know." She looked almost fearful.
"Well, uh... You see... Um..."
"Rosecookedallourmealsthefirstfourmonthsweweremarried." She mumbled, but they must have heard it because Edward looked at me strangely.
"What?" Edward said lost.
"Well, Bella couldn't cook very well. She always just cooked for herself and Charlie. So when she married you she didn't know how to cook things. So I was giving her cooking lessons. Well, you guys changed your wedding date, remember. She still had four months of classes left. So I would cook and freeze it and she would cook one with me. I would keep the one that she cooked at my house and she would go home and bake whatever I had premade." Emmett was laughing and Edward was grinning. Bella was still burried in her hands.
"So that first lasagna?" Bella nodded her head and laughed.
"Yeah. That was Rose."
"That is why you couldn't make another one forever. Rose, she told me it had cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I knew it was ricotta, but she insisted. That was our first married fight." Emmett and I busted out laughing.
"So let's hear one about you, Edward." Edward was shaking his head no, but Emmett came to the rescue.
"Oh no, Eddie. Let's tell the one about Tanya." Edward groaned but Emmett continued.
"You see, there once was a girl named Tanya. Tanya had a huge crush on Eddie over here. He could care less about her. He never even realised she was crushing on him. Alice brought her over one night and Edward was gone. Well I convinced them that she could just crash in Edward's room. Edward walked in after being out until whatever time in the morning and went straight to bed. My buddy Peter was at the house and the next morning we heard screaming. When we ran into Edward's room we saw him in the corner with a sheet wrapped around him, looking down at the bed, apparently Tanya had reaaalllllyyy enjoyed being in Edward's bed... including bringing her Battery Opperated Boyfriend. It was moving around on the bed vibrating and Eddie boy over here thought it was his phone ringing so he lifted it to his ear. I guess when he caught site of what it really was, he freaked. It was him screaming in the corner of the room.
Tanya never came back. Our parent's still think that he lost his V Card to Tanya and is into kinky sex." Now Bella and I were laughing super hard. We knew that Bella and Edward both saved themselves for each other. Bella had even thought he was gay when they first met.
"Now it's Emmett's turn. He played football in high school and the year they took state everyone was partying hard. The coach had already gotten onto them multiple times for the partying, to the point of calling parents.
Well, Mom decided one of the nights after the game that she would talk to Pastor Martin and get him to open up a midnight ceremony for all of the people that couldn't be there earlier. So he agrees. We walk into church and Emmett is bouncing, he was so excited about the game they had just won. Anyways he gets up to go to the bathroom and about twenty minutes passes, Mom decides that she is going to look for him. Well about that time Mrs. Martin gets up and walks out quietly.
Apparently from the story, Emmett and Sweet Little Madison, who had just turned sixteen, decided they wanted to celebrate in the men's bathroom. Mrs. Martin made them both get babtized again." Everyone was laughing again, but I just looked over at Emmett and smiled. I loved my monkey man so much. I could imagine having a son with Emmett's looks and height. We would have to be careful to teach him everything and every type of woman to be careful of. I didn't want to even think about a daughter, but then another vision past through my mind. A daughter that looked like me but piercing blue eyes like her daddy. With an older brother that looked out for her every step of the way.
I was brought out of my thoughts by Emmett. The world came crashing back and I remembered how almost impossible it would be to have Emmett's children.
"Why the sad face, Rosie?" Emmett whispered in my ear.
"Just thinking. As Edward was telling the story about you I imagined it all. Having a son that looked just like you and a daughter with your eyes. Our son being protective over his baby sister would be amazing to see. He would be her hero, just like you are mine." As I finished I looked up into his eyes. He was looking off into space and I knew he was imagining as well.
"I like that brain of yours. But, that doesn't explain the sad face. Unless you hated those thoughts." Now Emmett was being ridiculous.
"I just don't want to get my hopes up about things like that. If I got my hopes up and I never have your children, it would be heartbreaking." Understand shadowed his face as he lowered his head.
"Rose..." I looked up to the sound of Edward's voice. As my eyes came to his he continued.
"I overheard you guys, sorry. But, I have an associate that specializes in fertility. I called her after the miscarriage. If you want I can give you her number." I had tears in my eyes as I nodded.
"Thank you, Edward." Edward just nodded and pulled Bella out to the dance floor.
"Come on, Rosie. We are dancing too. I want you to show me how that sweet ass shakes." Emmett said as he pulled me on the dance floor.
When a man started singing "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" Emmett spun around and looked at the stage. I looked up to his face and his smile was a mile wide. A blonde man was on stage in his military uniform. Emmett was shaking his head and laughing, but we just stood there watching him.
When the song was finished Emmett led me toward the stage. Emmett and the blonde man hugged in a super manly affectionate way. I backed up to give them their space.
They both finished the hug and looked up to me. Edward and Bella had seen it and came to investigate too.
"Rosie, this is Major Jasper Whitlock, my buddy from Afghanistan. Major, this is my Rosie."
"Ma'am. I've heard alot about ya. Nice to finally put a pretty face with all those stories." I smiled and looked down.
"Please, call me Rose. I've heard alot about you too, Jasper." Jasper was taller than me, but not quite as tall as Emmett. Where Emmett was all muscle and body builder huge, Jasper had a smaller frame, but was still all muscle. He had a strong jaw line and grey blue eyes with blonde hair that if it was grown out would be curly. This was the man that didn't have any family and was Emmett's best friend. You could tell his life was rough, but he had a goodness about him that I trusted instantly. Plus, I knew Emmett. Emmett would never let anyone around me that would hurt me.
"What are you doing here? I'm not being rude, but how did you know where we are?" I asked looking at him from the corral of Emmett's arm.
"Well Miss Rose, Emmett called me before he asked you to marry him. He wanted me here and I was already on R&R so I hopped the first plane. As far as how I knew where you guys were... Well that's classified." I mustered up all my courage and walked to Jasper. I wrapped my arms around him and stood on my toes to whisper in his ear.
"Thank you for coming for him. He really needs you." As I got off my toes I kissed his cheek and moved back toward Emmett. It was obvious noone knew what I said by the looks they were giving me, but it was true. I knew Emmett needed a real friend and not just family. Jasper's face didn't change at all, he just nodded once.

We were headed back to the cabins and Jasper was going to sleep on the couch until tomorrow. After the wedding then we could go to separate ways. I knew Emmett wanted to catch up with Jasper and probably let him in on what was going on.

When we got back to the cabin I made up the couch for Jasper.
"Ya don't have to do that for me Rose. I have slept worse places that a comfortable couch." I just looked over my shoulder and shook my head.
"I know I don't have to Jazz, but I want to..."
"Jazz?"
"Short for Jasper I guess. I don't know, I just kind of said it."
"Never had a nickname besides Major before." His face was still the stoic blank face from earlier. I didn't know his story and I don't know if I needed to. All I knew was he was all alone and needed someone. Emmett and I were going to be his someones.
Finishing up the couch I fluffed a pillow and laid it at one end at sat down.
"Where did you go for your R&R?" Jasper sat down next to me after I patted the couch next to me.
"I have a ranch down in Texas. I wanted to go ride my horse."
"Really? I've never ridden a horse before. Is it hard?" Jasper gave me a crooked grin and shook his head.
"Nah. S'not too hard, but I've been at it a while." I just nodded and we both sat quiet for a minute.
"Who is taking care of it while you are in Afghanistan? Are you stationed near it? Who takes care of it while you are working?"
"Woah woah woah, little lady. One question at a time. To answer your first question, I have a buddy named Peter. Peter and his wife, Charlotte, live there and take care of the place. I actually don't have a station right now. They shipped our squad out of California and told us we would be based once we are out of the desert. But, our first choice was Texas."
"Our?" He gave me a puzzled look and looked back down at his hands. When I looked down to his hands also, I could see scars on the back of his hands and up one of the arms that the sleeve was pushed up on. He must have noticed and quickly pulled down his sleeve.
"Well, Emmett and mine. I guess that changes now." He muttered the last part.
"Why would that change, Jazz?" I heard his fake laugh.
"Look Rose, Emmett is my brother. I have no question about that, but I also know noone with any kind of class wants to live out a life on a ranch with a bunch horse shit. And that's the thing, I can smell your class from miles. I only have three people on this earth that give a fuck about me, don't pretend you do too because of Emmett." I didn't know whether to take it as a good thing that he called me classy. I always thought it was a good thing, but the way he said it I knew he didn't think so. As he finished my tongue lashing he got up and walked out.

I was putting on my pajamas as Emmett came out of the bathroom. Fresh and clean with a towel around his waist, he looked like a God.
"You alright, babe?" I nodded and walked over to hug him.
"Yeah, I just wish I knew why Jazz responds the way he does." Emmett pulled back and looked down at me.
"Jazz?" He looked at me skeptically.
"A nickname..."
"Don't take anything he says to heart. I know he likes you. It just takes him a little warming up."
"What happened to him?" Emmett gave me a strange look and backed up.
"Rosie, you know how what happened to you was your story to tell. Well, Jasper's is his. I would never tell yours, and I won't tell his either. I can say though. If he lets you in, don't judge him for it." I nodded and crawled into bed. Emmett went to crawl in beside me and I shook my head.
"No way mister. Go hang out with you friend. He came a long way." Emmett smiled and kissed me, then got up and went to get dressed.
"Oh and Em, I don't mind moving to Texas. You can tell Jazz I'd rather shovel horse shit than be near my family any day." Emmett looked puzzled for a minute then turned and walked out the door.
