READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END.. PLEASE VERY IMPORTANT.


RPOV

The next morning I woke up in my clothes from yesterday, puffy eyes, a dry throat, and a seriously broken heart. Everything but one seemed fixable.

How could he sleep with her? How could he put his hands all over her and tie himself to her in such an intimate way? I'm not sure if I'm more mad that he had sex with her or because he kept it from me? And on top of that, they were having a baby! I felt awful but I silently prayed that it wasn't his. I wouldn't know how to cope seeing him father a child that wasn't mine.

I thought we had been completely honest with each other. I thought we already knew everything and we were just learning about each other in a more intense, intimate way. I laid in bed and tried to sort out my thoughts.

I laid there and decided that as much as I wanted to hate him for having sex with her, that I can't. We weren't together and they were. His excuse of being drunk was stupid but deep in my heart I knew that it was true. I could see all the honesty in his eyes when he said he didn't want to sleep with her. He wasn't thinking with his head. Well, he was thinking with the WRONG head.

I came to the conclusion that I was upset that he wasn't responsible enough to keep himself away from a situation like that and that he had lied. I felt betrayed that he kept it from me this entire time; we had a conversation where we said we would be honest with each other no matter what we had to say. Even if it meant hurting each others feelings with the truth; we decided that we'd respect each other more for being honest.

I needed to talk to Alice, Bella and especially Esme but first I needed a shower. I grabbed my toiletries from my bag and headed to the restroom. I filled the tub and poured bubble mix into the water, I desperately needed something to relax my muscles.

I sat down and let the heat from the water relax my muscles. I tried to relax but all of the events from yesterday kept running through my head. I sat there and let the tears fall down trying my best to promise I wouldn't cry about it anymore. I've been through worse and I love Emmett, I knew we'd make it through this. I hope.

I got out of the tub, got dressed, and towel dried my hair then threw it up in a loose bun. I called down to room service and ordered a bowl of Special K cereal and some chocolate. If I was going to eat chocolate, then I could at least have a good breakfast. When it came, I ate in silence.

Just as I was finishing up, my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller Id and hoped it was who it said it would be.

Hello?

Hi Rose dear. Are you ok?

Hi Esme, yea I'm fine. Considering. Sorry I didn't answer your calls yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was Emmett just using your phone or not.

It's fine honey. I was glad you talked to your mother at least. Can I ask where you are?

I'm in Portland at a hotel. I just needed to get away. I had to clear my head.

That's understandable. Carlisle and I were just worried about you. We wanted to make sure you were safe.

Yea. I'm safe. I didn't run into any problems on the drive over here. I didn't mean to make you guys worry. I'm sorry.

Rosalie honey don't worry about it. We are just glad to hear you are ok. Now; do you know when you are coming back?

Um, a few days. Maybe sooner. I shouldn't be missing school with graduation in a few months but I panicked and ran.

Well, you shouldn't be missing school but I understand why you left. This situation is a bit overwhelming. Have you any idea of when you will talk to my son? I don't want to rush you.

No, it's fine. I guess he'll want to talk and tell me what happened at the doctor's office. So I guess he can call me later. Not right now though. I still need time to cool down but if you can; can you tell him to call me in a few hours?

Of course dear. I'm sure he'll be happy to get to talk to you. We are just about to leave the hospital in a bit.

I don't suppose you'd tell me if the baby is his will you Esme? I crossed my fingers. I hoped that if she told me it was his baby then I could cool down before he called.

She laughed a bit. No. dear, I think Emmett should be the one to tell you something that important.

I took a deep breath. "something that important" maybe the baby is his. Your right. It is something I should hear from him. Thanks Esme. Tell him to give me a few hours then call.

Alright honey, I'll talk to you later. Please be careful Rosalie. I'll have Emmett call you later. Please hear him out dear. And come home, we all miss you.

I will. I love you Esme. Bye.

I love you too. Goodbye.

I hung up and sat on the couch, and tried to find something to watch. After flipping through the channels about 3 different times, and after watching an infomercial for around an hour, I decided I was stalling enough. It was lunch time so I could call Alice. We usually don't eat in the cafeteria everyday so I hoped they were outside and could answer the phone. I dialed Alice's number and it rang 3 times before she answered.

Rose?

Hi Alice.

Oh Rosalie, how are you? Are you ok? Where are you? Do you want me to meet you somewhere? We haven't talked to Emmett, have you? Do you need me to slap Tanya again? I will Rose her face isn't pregnant. She said all at once. It took me by surprise but that was my pixie; she was overly hyper about everything.

Calm down Alice. Breathe. Put me on speaker, I want to talk to everyone.

Ok Rose, We are all here. I heard a hi from everyone. A part of me wanted to hear Emmett, but I knew I wasn't ready to hear him just yet.

Hi you guys. Thanks for checking on me yesterday. Sorry I didn't get back to you. I had to leave and I wasn't ready to face anyone yet. But, I'm ok . Really I am. I'm in Portland at a hotel. I haven't talked to Em- him yet. I'm not sure just yet but I'm going to try to talk to him today.

Hi Rose, it's Bella. You know that he's at the doctor with her right now right?

Yea. I know. He text me last night and told me Carlisle is going to see how far along she is. Is it bad that I hope the baby isn't his?

No Rose it's not. I'm sure if Alice or I were in your position we'd probably be thinking the same thing.

Yea. I'm sure. But you guys have nothing to worry about. Why can't Emmett be as honest with me as Edward and Jasper are with you?

Rose, it's Edward. Emmett is honest. I'm not making excuses for him but maybe he just didn't want to cause you heartbreak.

Too late Edward. My heart's broken.

What are you going to do if the baby isn't his? Rosalie that is a possibility.

I know Jasper, I'm hoping that's the case but I'm not really sure what to do. I guess I'll hear him out but I'm still pretty hurt. The thing that hurts the most is that he lied.

Rose, it's Alice again. I wanted to tell you Emmett sent us a text earlier but Bella and I didn't reply. We told Edward to tell him we wouldn't forgive him until we talked to you first.

Alice, you don't have to do that. I don't want to put you guys in the middle of this. That's not fair. Talk to him. It's only right. I don't want you guys to be mad at him.

I heard a sigh. Then the school bell ring in the background, signaling 10 minutes until the lunch bell rings. Ok. Rose. We'll talk to him. When are you coming home?

I'm not sure. It's weird because I miss him but I still just want to hit him. I think if I talk to him tonight and things go well, then I'll be back tomorrow-maybe. Coming back won't mean things are ok with him and I; but I can't continue to miss class.

Ok. Well let us know what you plan on doing. We worry about you. We've gotta go but call us later. We love you Rose and we miss you. Please be careful.

I will Alice. I'll call or text everyone later and let you guys know. I love you guys and miss you guys too. Bye.

Bye Rose

I hung up and felt emotionally tired. I walked back over to the bed and just laid there. I tried to think of ways to calm myself down when I would be talking to Emmett later, but I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know is that my phone is ringing.

I woke up and I knew it was Emmett because of his ringtone. It was Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat. It was the part of the song where it says I'M LUCKY I'M IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND. LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN WHERE I HAVE BEEN. LUCKY TO BE COMING HOME AGAIN. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES WAITING FOR A LOVE LIKE THIS. EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE I WISH WE HAD ONE MORE KISS. I'LL WAIT FOR YOU I PROMISE YOU, I WILL.

I took a deep breath and slid my finger across the screen so it would pick up.

Uh, Hello?

Hi Rosalie. He sounded sad. Good. He should feel bad for lying.

Hi Emmett. There was an awkward pause and I heard him sigh.

How are you Rosalie?

I'm fine. How are you Emmett? I hated that we just didn't know what to say. We've never been like this.

I'd be better if you were here. I wish you wouldn't have left. I miss you so much. I love you and I'm sorry for everything. I swear to God Rosalie; I'll never lie to you again. I'll regret being with Tanya and lying for the rest of my life.

Naturally; I was crying. I missed him too but it still didn't change the fact that he lied. I sniffed and wiped the tears off my face.

Rose, please don't cry. I can't stand to know that you are crying and it's my fault.

It's fine Emmett. I miss you too but that doesn't change the fact that you lied to me. I'm sorry I flipped out that you had sex with Tanya. You guys were a couple and it's what couples do. It's just that I thought we promised to be honest with each other and I've been honest with you about everything and it just makes me wonder what else you could be keeping from me.

Rosalie I swear I'm not lying about anything. I just couldn't bring myself to tell you. I didn't want to see the disappointment in your eyes. Obviously I should have told you because the way you found out was horrible and I'm so sorry. I'll apologize to you everyday of forever if you let me.

Emmett, I don't need you to apologize everyday. Look, let's not beat around the bush. I'll be home in a few days. I can't afford to miss anymore classes. I miss you; but I need time. I'm still trying to cope with the fact that your having a baby and that you lied. The baby I can get over; but the lying is what hurts the most. I trusted you to be honest and you weren't.

Rosalie; about the baby. It's not my baby. She's around 2 months which means there's no way it's mine. In fact she said it's Garrett Hunter's baby. I swear Rose; if you give me another chance that will be the last one you'll ever have to give. I won't screw up again.

I'm glad the baby isn't yours Emmett. And I swear I'll try my best to get over it but I just need time. I'll be home soon but for now just give me space.

Ok Rose, I'll give you space. But please come home soon. I'll worry about you every minute your gone. I love you Rosalie. Forever and ever.

I know Emmett. I've got to go but I'll see you soon. Goodbye

Bye Rose. Love you.

I hung up and tried to stop the tears from falling. I couldn't bring myself to tell him I love him. I do love him but I just couldn't. I looked at the clock on my phone and it said it was 9 pm. I set my phone alarm for 4 am. It would take me about an hour to get ready in the morning, pack my things, and check out. I would leave by 5 and be back in Forks around 9 if I don't hit too much traffic. I'd miss a few of my classes but I guess it's better than missing the whole day.

I sent Mom, Esme, and Carlisle a text telling them that I'd be home tomorrow in the morning. I plugged in my phone and instantly fell asleep again.

NEXT DAY JUST OUTSIDE OF FORKS

Finally. I'm almost home. I didn't realize how boring the drive was from Portland to Forks. I guess I had too much on my mind on my way from Forks to Portland.

As I passed the WELCOME TO FORKS sign, I felt a sigh of relief. I was finally going to go home but I was a little nervous as to whether I could see him without crying. I pulled up to my house and got my bag down. I changed clothes, brushed my teeth again and grabbed my bag.

I got back in the car and headed towards school. I was later than I intended to be, I had hit a ton of traffic in Hoquiam and passed a big rig 5 car accident in Queets. When I got to school it was 45 minutes before lunch. I was going to wait in the car until lunch but I felt like if I did then I'd just drive away and come back tomorrow.

I walked into the front office and briefly explained my absence as a "24 hour bug". I got my pass and walked to class. I had Jasper and Edward in this class and I even sat between the two of them. I walked into class and handed my teacher the note. He looked at it and nodded.

I walked to the back of the room and sat down between Jasper and Edward. Mr. Filler was lecturing about our English final paper. I pulled out my notebook and had a smile on my face. Edward and Jasper were just smiling at me. I quietly laughed and shoulder bumped both of them.

By the time class was over, Mr. Filler had let everyone work on tonight's homework for a few minutes while he gave me the assignments I missed. It was only one day but it was a lot. What did I expect? It was A P English. When the bell rang, I looked from right to left and smiled.

"Hi guys"

Edward hugged me and kissed my forehead. "Hi Rose; why didn't you tell us you'd be here?"

I shrugged. "I wanted it to be a surprise?" I ended it with a question. Jasper laughed and reached for a hug. I gave him one and he kissed my hair. They made me feel safe. "Well we are glad you are back anyways. Have you seen everyone?"

"Nope. I just got here. But let's go to lunch and get this over with. You didn't text anyone and tell them I'm here did you?"

"No. we didn't. don't worry Rose."

"Thanks guys, you guys always were like big brothers to me. You make me feel protected. I love you guys."

"No problem Rose. That's what Jasper and I are for. Your like a sister to us too. We'll always be here for you. We love you too."

I nodded and we walked to the cafeteria together. We were at the door about to walk in when a little pixie was bouncing next to me. Bella was next to her with a smile on her face. "Rose. OMG. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"Hi Alice, Hi Bella. I just got here about 45 minutes ago." I hugged them and we walked in together. Emmett was sitting at the table drinking a bottle of water. He looked sad. Seeing him still sad made me want to go over and kiss him. I missed him and I loved him so much. Maybe I should just forgive him for lying. Obviously he's swore up and down that he was sorry and that he promises never to go it again.

I was half way to the table when Tanya stopped me. "Hi Rosalie. Can I talk to you?" she said quietly. Something seemed different but if she wanted to argue then we'll argue. "Tanya I don't want to argue with you."

"I'm not trying to argue Rosalie but I do want to talk to you in private." I took a deep breath, nodded and we walked to an empty table.

We sat down and there was an awkward pause before she began.

"Look Rosalie, I know we don't have the best of relationships. I'm sure you've heard that the baby isn't Emmett's. I'm not going to lie, when I found out I was pregnant I thought it was Emmett's because since then I've used protection. I thought if the baby was his, he'd leave you and we'd be happy together. I thought about aborting the baby but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I wanted to be with Emmett. When he confronted me later that day he was distraught. He was heartbroken; I couldn't figure out why he looked like hell but then I found out you left. We met with his father yesterday and he said the baby isn't Emmett's it's too small and I'm not far along enough for it to be his. I could see the relief wash over Emmett's face but he still pretty much was void of emotion. He looked like a shell, like there was nothing left inside. We talked briefly and I apologized. I genuinely did believe the baby was his. Now I know that it wouldn't have mattered. Nothing will get him to leave you. He loves you so much and would do anything for you. That night was not his fault. It was mine, he had told me no before but I was at my wits end with him. I wanted him and I wanted to try to prove I was better for him than you. He holds you on such a high pedestal and I wanted to knock you down from it. He was a lot more drunk than I was and I took advantage of him. I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry for the comments I've made about you and for trying to come between you two. I'm sorry for the way I've treated you too. This baby has made me think differently. I have a lot of growing up to do and I just wanted to say sorry… for everything."

It took me a minute to take in everything she said. WOW. I didn't know Tanya could be so deep. I took a deep breath and let everything sink in. "Wow, Tanya. Um I'm actually not sure what to say. Um. Thank you. For being honest. I wasn't expecting it from you but it's nice to know everything. I accept your apology and maybe we could actually be friends.. Eventually, that is if you keep your word and stop trying to come between Emmett and I. I'm sorry for the things I've said to you as well." she smiled and I smiled back.

She excused herself and I got up and walked to the table. Emmett was watching me walk over but I could still see the sorrow in his face. In truth. He was forgiven. Obviously that night wasn't his idea, the baby wasn't his, and he PROMISED AND SWORE he wouldn't lie to me anymore.

There was an empty seat next to him and there was another empty seat between Bella and Alice. Emmett turned back around when he seen me going another way. I headed over to the lunch line and bought a whole wheat sandwich with ham and a small bag of chips and a bottle of Snapple.

I paid for it and walked back to the table. I decided to sit next to Emmett because as much as he needed me; I needed him. I took a deep breath, smiled at everyone and sat down. Emmett looked up at me when he heard the chair sliding against the floor.

He looked at me and the tears began to well up in my eyes. I loved him so much. I just wanted to kiss him and have him hold me. I placed my hand on his thigh and squeezed it. He looked at me and tried to wipe the tears from my eyes before they fell. I had to stop him because I had something to say.

"Wait Em. I talked to Tanya. She apologized and completely took the blame for taking advantage of you when you were drunk. I wanted to tell you that I forgive you for lying but you need to know I won't let it happen again. I refuse to be in a relationship where I'm lied to. It won't work out and I'm just not going to do it." the tears fell down my face and he gave me a small smile.

He wiped the tears away and I leaned into his touch. I missed it. I missed him. So much. "Rose, you have my word I will never lie to you again. I'm sorry. The one thing you asked me to do was to be honest and I wasn't. It won't happen again. I swear on my life."

I just nodded and said something that I couldn't get myself to say until I had forgiven him. "I love you Emmett." My Emmett smile came across his face and he leaned in and kissed me. I felt my heart swell with the love he was exerting into the kiss. His tongue brushed against my mouth and I let it in. I heard a low moan and it took me a second to realize it came from me. I was about to pull away when he took my bottom lip between his teeth. Omg. I felt like I was on fire. I don't think I've ever been so turned on when he bit my lip.

We finally broke apart when we heard a giggle and the clicking of a camera. We looked and Alice had her cell phone out and she was taking a picture of us and Bella was trying not to laugh. Emmett just pulled me towards him and my back was against his chest. I could feel him kissing my head.

Alice looked at Jasper and he winked at her. Edward grabbed Bella and she sat on his lap. We were all pretty quiet for a while. Emmett reached down and whispered in my ear. "I love you Rosalie. And that was some kiss."

I moved my head so I could see his face and I just kissed him. "I love you too Emmett.

When lunch was over we went our separate ways and I finally felt like everything was going to be ok. I had the love of my life back, he was mine, and he was going to stay that way. FOREVER.
