7 Minutes in Heaven

Chapter Twenty

Emmett's Point of view.

I was curious now. A surprise? I loved surprises! I rocked Noah softly back and forth.

"Surprise?" he asked, his small face looked curious, just like mine I guessed.

Rose smiled and looked over at me.

"Em, he's just like you." she murmured softly.

I smiled. "She's just like you." I said, looking at the comparison between Emmalie and my beautiful wife.

They both had golden locks, well, Emmalie still had short, baby hair, but I knew when she got older, she would be making the boys fall at her feet with one glance. Just like her mother used to. They still would be if I wasn't to intimidating to them. At least, Bella thought I was intimidating, and I supposed that when it came to my protection and love for Rose, I was.

Rose smiled and looked down at Emmalie. I looked over at Esme and Tanya and they were grinning from ear to ear.

"So, what's our surprise?" I asked, curiously.

"You'll see," Tanya said softly. "You're not going anywhere in particular, but I want you to both go upstairs and put on some semi-formal clothes."

I cocked an eyebrow. "Semi-Formal?" I was never good with clothing talk.

"Rose will show you," Esme said, laughing softly.

Rose smiled and nodded. "Alright," she said, standing and putting Emmalie in the play pen in the middle of the living room.

I put Noah in there with her and we retreated upstairs, to the closet. We shut our door and Rose went to the closet, handing me a blue dress shirt. It had cuff's on the end, and it was pin striped. Blue and White. It had a collar that folded down on it and I grinned, taking my tee shirt off. Rose watched me closely as I changed. I rolled my eyes at my beautiful wife and she giggled. When I got my shirt on, she nodded in approval and I went over, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind as she got a pair of black jeans, that looked like dress pants. She picked out a pink, solid color tunic with four button decor bust line and front kangaroo pocket. Banded hemline and 3 quarter sleeves. She smiled up at me.

"I need to change," she said softly. "Let me go."

I chuckled and let her go as she asked. She quickly stripped down and changed and I smiled, wrapping her in my arms for a quick moment and kissing her before we descended downstairs once more. Esme and Tanya smiled as we entered.

"Don't you both look amazing?" Tanya said, grinning.

"Thanks, Tanya." Rose said softly.

I nodded. "Thanks." I smiled at the three ladies.

I looked over to the play pen and seen the Emmalie was in a white dress that came to her knees and it was a thick tank top strap. It was a small 'U' cut and had a little white band going across, below where her bust would be when she was older. She had a matching white hat with a small brim going all around it and above the band on the front of the dress was a small pink embellishment, that was also on the top of her hat. Noah was wearing a blue shirt like mine and a pair of black, loose pyjama bottoms. They were both adorable.

Rose seen them and she clasped a hand over her mouth when her jaw fell and she went over, kissing their foreheads.

"Awe, mommy and daddy's babies are adorable." she said softly.

They smiled and when back to playing.

"So, what's the surprise?" I asked, going over and taking Rose in my arms as we sat down on the floor, by the play pen.

"A photo shoot." Esme said, happily.

"We've got a photographer coming in about and hour." Tanya said, smiling.

"The pillow room is where it's going to happen, as you can pose on the floor and it's safe for the children." Esme replied.

We both nodded and smiled. "That's amazing, mom, Tanya, I love the idea!" Rose said happily.

I nodded. "As do I."

Tanya and Esme smiled. "You two go upstairs and do whatever else you need to do, as Rose, your hair is still a tiny bit damp and we'll take care of the children."

We smiled and nodded. "Alright. Thank you so much." I said, smiling.

They nodded. "No problem."

We all went upstairs then, Esme and Tanya proceeding into the children's playroom with Emmalie and Noah. Rose and I entered our bedroom, shutting the door behind us as Rose went over to her vanity and started blow drying her hair. She was done soon and then straightened it so it was as straight as a board. She applied make up - in which she didn't need. And I went over when she finished, picking her up in my arms bridal styled. I went over to the bed, dropping her on it playfully and she was laughing uncontrollably now.

"Emmett!" She shrieked as I got on top of her, though, not putting any of my body weight on her.

I smirked as she grinned up at me, beaming. I kissed her passionately and she kissed back more then willingly. I smirked and pulled back. She pouted and pursed her lips as I chuckled and put my hands on her waist as I rolled over quickly, so we were both on our sides, facing each other. I started tickling her and she curled up, laughing.

"Em!" she said in between laughs.

My laughter was booming throughout the room as I stopped tickling her and she hit my arm playfully. I smirked as Rose put her lips to mine, urgently. I kissed her back happily as I smiled against her perfect, full, pink lips. I heard the door to our room open behind us, but I ignored it and Rose and I never detached our lips as they moved perfectly on one another's.

We stopped, pulling back when we heard Esme clearing her throat. We pulled away from each other in such a way that we weren't touching, but we were still on the bed.

"The photographer's here." she said softly, smiling warmly.

Rose looked embarrassed and laughed awkwardly, nodding. "Alright, mom."

I nodded as well. "We'll be down in a minute." I assured her as she nodded and exited the room.

I kissed Rose passionately, one last time before I got up, extending my hand to her. She took it and I helped her up, wrapping an arm around her waist as we proceeded downstairs.

When we got downstairs, we seen the curtains still pulled back in the pillowed room and the pillows and blankets were arranged beautifully around the room. The photographer was busy taking pictures of Emmalie and Noah, who were placed in the middle of the room. Esme and Tanya had given them instructions not to talk I guessed.

"You must be the parents," the photographer said, turning to Rose and I.

I nodded. "Yep," I stated simply, smiling at the words. The parents.

"Well, are you ready?" The photographer asked, tweaking the camera. He seemed to be very professional.

Rose nodded. "Definitely,"

Tanya and Esme were just stood back watching and as he turned on the lights in the pillow room, the big chandelier gleamed. We went into the room and seen Emmalie and Noah's face light up. Neither of us could help but to keep the smile off of our faces and the photographer instructed Rose to take Emmalie up and cradle her in her arms and for me to do the same with Noah. A bright flash filled the room as we gazed down at our beautiful children with love and desire. The next shot had Emmalie and Noah by themselves, propped up by a mountain of pillows.

The shot after that had Rose and I wrapped up in each other, smiling at each other as we looked into each other's eyes. I didn't know how many pictures had been taken by the end, but about a hour later the photographer packed up everything and was gone, saying that the pictures should be ready within three days.

Esme and Tanya emerged from the front room them.

"Thank you so much," Rose and I said in unison, Emmalie in my arms, Noah in hers.

"You're welcome, kids." Esme said, smiling warmly.

"Our pleasure," Tanya said, grinning. "We should probably get going now though. Carlisle needs Esme to help him with some things in his office and I told Alice I'd help her drag Bella out shopping." She smirked and I cringed. I hated shopping.

"Have fun," I said sarcastically.

She laughed softly. "We will, actually."

"Well, we'll talk to you later." Rose said, blowing them an air kiss as she had the other arm supporting a sleeping Noah.

Carlisle said they would sleep for about the first year, until they were the size of eight year olds.

"We'll see you later. Remember, don't be strangers." Esme said, warmly.

I nodded. "We'll be over everyday," I promised.

She nodded and in a blink of an eye, they were gone. Rose and I walked upstairs, putting Emmalie in her room and Noah in his, kissing them and laying them in their cribs before we proceeded to our room, together.

"That was really sweet of them to do that," Rose said softly as she took my hand, kicking the door shut.

"It really was," I agreed as she pulled me over to the bed.

I smirked and she let my hand go, shutting the blinds as she came back over, attaching her lips to mind instantaneously. I happily kissed back, but broke it momentarily.

"Remember, Esme won't be happy if we break another house," I said, smirking.

She giggled and punched my arm playfully. "Don't worry. I think we have more control now then we did all those years ago."

I cocked an eye brow. "Really? Are you sure?"

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh shut-up." she murmured against my lips.

I kissed her back for many moments and then broke it, taking her and putting her on the bed. I decided I wanted to talk to her about a few things I'd noticed. She looked at me, curiously.

"I think we should talk," I said softly.

"About?" she asked, cocking an eye brow.

"You."

"What about me?"

I chuckled. "I'm getting to it, I'm getting to it." I paused and took a deep, un-needed breath in. "Rose, you've really changed since the children were born."

"Is that good or bad?" she asked, a little scared.

"I loved you before, obviously. But now, you seem more… full of love. Full of life. You seem truly happy and you love just about everyone. Emmalie and Noah have really brought you to life." I smiled and took her face in my hands, brushing my lips to hers. "It's nice," I said, smiling.

She smiled warmly. "They have brought me to life. I feel whole. Finally completely happy. I don't feel like I'm lacking anything. I have an amazing, wonderful, sexy, caring, loving husband and two amazing, miracle children."

I knew Rose had a different perspective on this life then and I smiled, beaming into her eyes. Suddenly, we were interrupted by a loud knocking on the door, downstairs. Rose jumped a little and I chuckled.

"Let's get the door," I said as we got up, proceeded downstairs and I opened the door.

There was a man there and Rose's face went blank when she seen him.
