Chapter 13: Emmett and Rosalie

6 skirts, 2 dresses, 5 shirts, and 4 pairs of jeans later…

"Ouch! Alice that hurts!" I grumbled. We had finished the shopping and Alice was now playing Bella Barbie. She had just finished waxing my eyebrows. I've heard you have to suffer to be beautiful but SERIOUSLY!

"If you waxed or plucked your eyebrows more often it wouldn't be hard to maintain them." She scolded.

"Yeah, yeah…"

"Alice, you know that wedding dress was amazing that I tried on today… are you sure that I shouldn't go back and get it?" Rosalie asked while looking through a magazine full of wedding dresses.

"Of course I'm sure! I have the perfect dress picked out for you but you're just going to have to wait until the wedding to see it!" She said cheerfully.

"You can't make me wait until the wedding to see my dress!" Rosalie protested pouting. Alice just gave her a look that said – try me.

"So did you guys ever decide on a date?" I asked hoping to distract them from the whole wedding dress thing.

"Well Emmett and I were thinking about an August wedding. We're thinking after the honeymoon I'll change him. He will have four months until Christmas so maybe he will be able to control his hunger. I'm not sure how Emmett will be as a newborn- we all know how much he eats now. We really want to be able to be with the family for Christmas. He hates the thought of missing Thanksgiving and I know that it's going to be hard for him not seeing his little sister." She said to me.

I was surprised to hear that coming from her. She didn't really like it when I started hanging out with Edward way back when but I guess Emmett changed her. I just hope that he can control his thirst. It's going to be hard not having him around during the holidays and I'd hate to see him in pain because of me.

"Can I ask you a question Rosalie?"

"Sure and call me Rose." Yep Emmett has definitely brought out the best in her.

"What made you change your mind about dating a er- human and what made you decide to change Emmett?"

"Well I have to say Emmett was very persistent. After you moved away he came over to the house a lot. After a while I couldn't stand him being here. He was human and I'm not. I was well….I guess you'd call it jealous. He had the very life that I was denied. After about a month of him practically living with us we were left alone together. Edward was out hunting with Jasper, Alice had gone shopping, and my parents were at work. A huge storm came in and the power went off. It's actually rather funny… he jumped over, grabbed a hold of me and let out a shriek." She laughed, remembering it. "We finally got some candles and sat down in the living room. Before long we were talking and who knew he could be so interesting? From that day on I knew that I wanted to be with him and he was the only man for me."

"So how did he change your mind about turning him?"

"Well we argued a lot about that. He told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me, and then he asked me to marry him. After I said yes he said I didn't get a choice when it came to being turned into a vampire but that he does. He said "I want to spend the rest of my life with you and if you don't agree to change me then I'll just have to resort to my other plan." Of course I asked him what his plan was and he said that he would buy a huge mansion and be the next Hugh Hefner. "I'd still be in the same situation- an old man who never got to marry the love of his life but I'd have a ton of hot younger women instead of just one." We all started cracking up. Leave it to Emmett to say something like that.

"I got to thinking after that. He was really the only man for me and I gave in." She concluded.

"I hope you hit him for the other plan." I said giggling.

"Oh don't worry. I told him that we could just skip the honeymoon and buy a set of twin beds like his grandparents had. He threw the plan out the window after I said that."

While Rose was telling us her story Alice had finished my makeup. She applied eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss. We all agreed that I didn't need any blush or foundation. I looked into the mirror and barely recognized the woman in front of me.

"Alice, you are a genius." I said staring at the person in the mirror.

"So now that you know how to apply makeup properly you can wear it everyday." She said. I groaned thinking about how much extra time and effort it would be. While we were out shopping Edward had sent me a text message asking if I'd go to dinner and a movie with him tonight so I dressed in an Alice approved outfit and went home to wait for him. I figured I would let him see what he would be missing and then make sure I was busy the rest of the week. Absence makes the heart grow fonder…
