Authors note: This chapter is split into two parts. I'm calling them point one and point two because there are several peoples emotions going on and I didn't want to confuse anyone by having it all on one page so enjoy!

Rosalie POV

Today was Friday. Judgement day for the Cullen family, a huge day in mine and Emmett's marriage not to mention Edward and Bella's. We'd all met that morning, Bella, Edward, Emmett and myself at the diner in Forks for breakfast, originally I'd felt too nervous to eat but the growl of my stomach and the smell of pancakes was too damn irresistable and I ended up eating through a stack of pancakes and bacon then took a blueberry muffin for the journey. The boys managed to get through what looked like a huge traditional English breakfast with Bella having eggs benedict. Nothing like steadying nerves like filling our stomachs, I just hoped I wouldn't be seeing the contents in an hour or so. Like our last group appointment we all travelled in one car and was previously agreed that Bella would be accompanied by Edward for the embryo transfer though Bella quickly and unexpectantly changed her mind when she was called in to the office.

"Rose? I really think you should be the one in here for this"

"But...we agreed, Edward?" I stammered.

"This is going to be your baby Rosalie, you need to be there for this" she smiled. I glanced at Edward and he nodded.

"We talked about it at home this morning. Em and I are going to have 'man' time"

"And paint each others nails?" I teased then smiled softly.

Edward was a good man, this must have been a lot to get his mind around and there hadn't been long in which to do it in. Guilt stung me, I should have thought about this a lot more, but it was too late now. I mouthed thankyou and hugged him, Emmett rubbing the small of my back supportively. Edward then embraced his wife, I heard him whisper how proud of her he was. Their sounds were muffled by their tight hold but I could clearly hear Bella sniff with emotion. Doctor Forte poked her head around the door to see if we were ready, my friend forced herself away from her husband and took my hand.

"Let's do this" Bella nodded.

I stood aside in the small white room. There was a long cabinet down the side of one wall with a chair on the end, and a table bed in the middle of the room which Bella was instructed to change into the hospital gown and lay upon. I offered to leave the room out of politeness for Bella, she told me to be quiet and stop being silly, it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. She asked me to stop being cotton wool Rosalie and just be the Rosalie she knew. Safe to say that shut me up.

"Okay Mrs Cullen, I think we're ready to begin" Heidi smiled.

"Rosalie..." Bella held her hand out to me, it was shaking with her nerves. I jumped up from my chair grabbing it immediately as Bella was asked to put her feet together then allow her legs to drop open.

"Just stay by my head" she laughed.

"I was at Lauren's birth remember" I laughed with her, Bella's shoulders shaking more.

"Things were tighter then!"

"Hey I don't judge!"

"Please try to keep still" even the doctor was chuckling as she slipped latex gloves on ready to start.

Before we began Doctor Forte explained what she would actually be doing. We nodded along as it was explained that a thin tube, the same as a catheter would be passed through Bella's cervix, through which the embryos would be passed through with a small amount of fluid. And it was as simple as that.

Emmett POV

I was constantly pacing the halls while Rose and Bella were in the Doctor's office. I hoped Rosalie was keeping her cool and not panicking. As if it wasn't bad enough when she was waiting for the results of her pregnancy tests, pretty soon she'd be worrying about Bella's. The day before she'd made me go out and spend fifty dollars on pregnancy tests ready for when Bella would need them. I threw my head back looking up at the light, slapping my hands to my face and running them down slowly. God I was exhausted. I hadn't slept the night before. Rosalie's mental state had improved a lot in the last few weeks, I thought being infertile would destroy her but she'd been more positive now than the entire time we were trying to concieve. I loved how strong she was. It was one of the reasons why I fucking adored that woman. My brother Edward was casually sitting on a cushioned chair with his legs crossed, flicking through a torn hospital copy of the New Yorker. He looked like he didn't have a care in the world. How was he so relaxed, his wife was in there with my wife, possibly getting pregnant.

"You really okay dude?" I asked. He glanced up.

"What?"

"With everything. I can go in there and put a stop to it" I insisted, though who was I kidding. I couldn't and I also wouldn't.

"Emmett, shut up. The only problem I have with this is..." my brother slowly went quiet. I panicked and sat next to him.

"Is what?" I choked out.

"Nothing, it's nothing" Edward shrugged casually, leaning back against the seat.

"Shit Edward just tell me!" I begged and he sighed.

"My only problem with this is...if this thing doesn't work then she's going to put me on an even longer sex ban" he laughed "I've never been so damn horny!"

I could have died of laughter then and there. I held up my hand to my brother offering him a high five. He slapped his hand hard on mine.

"Gotta hand it to the girl for being sensible though. Fuck risking an accidental pregnancy and having to do all that DNA shit" I laughed "As long as you're not getting totally neglected though bro"

"Nah but it's not the same as the good stuff is it" Edward laughed shaking his head. Our sense of humours were a shield for our worry of what was going on in the room opposite.

"She's terrified Emmett" Edward was suddenly serious. I looked at the floor.

"So are we. I know why Bella's worrying and she shouldn't...if this doesn't work..."

"Then she's determined to try again Em" Edward interjected. I shook my head.

"That's too much for their bodies to take, for Rose to take. We'd have a family some other way. Adoption..."

"Get a dog" Edward mumbled, trying to lighten up the mood. I supposed we were all being positive but in different ways. The coping mechanism that worked best for us. I heard giggling come from the doctor's room and smiled.

"Ed?"

"Yeah?" looking back up from his magazine.

"I love you man" I nodded repeatedly but in a way that I felt to be casual and stylish.

"Don't be an idiot" Edward chuckled, nudging me in the bicep with his elbow.

"Dude c'mon" I stared and my brother nodded.

"I know Em, me too"

My semi emotional moment with my brother was interrupted when I heard the door click. Rosalie came walking out, she was a little pale in the face, I stood immediately in case she fainted or something, she just rested her head on my shoulder.

"I'm okay. I just need a soda or something"

That's my girl. Forever strong.

"Bella is asking for you Edward"
