And welcome once again to another update of Reality of Our Lives!
If you have noticed that the baby poll for Emmett's and Rosalie's babies, then yay for you! That means the baby names have been picked – and that means ALL of the baby names – and now, it's time to get on with the lives of our favorite six. X3
I'm very happy now because my friend – one who hasn't read over 66 chapters related to HSNE – The Original Version, A Remake, Halloween Spirit AND Reality of Our Lives – has to read ALL of it. XD So, she has a lot of catching up to do.
And, we're doing this for a fair – okay, not really fair – trade; if she reads these 66 chapters, then I'll finally make a DeviantArt account. She, along with my other three friends, has been pestering me to make that dang account for over a year or so.
So, when I brought up a new story idea during school today, that caused the both of us to argue about why I hadn't made an account, and then, she said she needed to be caught up with HSNE and all of its related stories. Ergo, that left us to making a deal – she reads those 66 chapters, I'll make that account whenever she's done.
So far, she's reviewed from Chapters 15 – 27 and she still has a lot to go. X3 (She says she hates me, just because she has to read 66 chapters. Haha~)
Anyways, since all of that aboce has nothing really relating to the story, I'll get back on topic.
So, in the last chapter, we were left off with Rosalie finding out that she can have babies once again, and with a date for hers and Emmett's wedding.
Therefore, let's get on with the wedding and what not!
Chapter Twenty-Five
Bella's POV
(March 19th)
"Alice, stop hogging the damn ice cream!" Rosalie's screech caused me to turn my attention away from the movie showing on my wide screen TV, to see Rosalie trying to move around Alice's tiny arms while she moved the ice cream she was holding onto away from Rosalie. "Hey, I'm eating for three here! Be nice to me, the pregnant woman!" Alice yelled back, slapping weakly at Rosalie's hands.
"Alice, you're not the only pregnant woman in this room, you know." I retorted, snatching the ice cream out of her hands since she was sitting next to me and Rosalie was on her other side. Alice whipped her gaze to me and gave me a pouty face, sniffling like a little kid who had their favorite toy taken away from them. "Bwella, that was mwean." Alice mumbled like a five-year-old, wiping at her fake teary eyes.
"Well, Rosalie and I are both pregnant too; if you want more ice cream, go in the fridge to get more for yourself." I scolded her, handing the ice cream over to Rosalie, moving it over her head. She huffed and crossed her arms across her chest while she countered; "Make the "non-bulging-stomached-pregnant-and-soon-to-be-Mrs.-Swan" get the ice cream for me. She doesn't have a huge stomach yet so she can walk on her own still."
It was nighttime and it was the night before Rosalie was to become the soon-to-be Mrs. Swan of Emmett. Emmett decided to go back to his original name finally; we were so confused as to what we should refer to him by his last name, and since he had originally came from the Swan family, he chose to go with that last name again. We already had all of the important preparations for the wedding done down to the last point – the wedding dress Rosalie chose is all ready for her to wear, the rings are done and fitted, the flowers for the chapel is ready, the minister is all ready; everything you could name was all done in such a short time. The guests were all organized as well, and since Rosalie is so nice, she decided to have Angela and Jessica as her maid of honor and bridesmaids; she didn't want Alice and I have to stand for so long with the burden of our huge pregnant stomachs.
The phone suddenly began ringing, where Rosalie – who was closest to the phone – reached over and answered it with a, "Hello?"
She waited for a few minutes, waiting for whoever was on the other line to end talking to her. Rosalie rolled her eyes and muttered, "Yeah, Edward, you worry wart; Bella's right here." She then stretched and handed me the phone, mouthing Edward's name. I giggled and brought the phone to my ear, greeting Edward with a cheery, "Hello, honey?"
"Hey, sweetheart. Just checking to see how you are." Edward's soothing velvety voice greeted me from the other line. I giggled and said back, "Oh, Edward. I'm perfectly fine here with the girls. Really, you don't have to call to check up on us; it's not like we have male strippers here." I was laughing loudly by the end of my sentence, and apparently Edward was happy about that fact, because his voice was even brighter when he answered.
"Well, I guess that's a plus. I don't really need another dude just flaunting whatever in front of my pregnant fiancée." He stated, chuckling. I rolled my eyes and replied back, "Edward, remember that that spot is only reserved for you." The girls had heard this and were making gagging gestures, sticking out their tongues and releasing wrenching noises. I slapped their arms and giggled. Edward chuckled lowly from the other end, murmuring, "I sure hope that's true, my lamb."
"WHOA, Nelly!" I heard Emmett's loud booming voice from the other end of the phone. "Emmett, shut up! Edward's on the god damn phone!" I heard Jasper yell at Emmett, and then the sound of someone slapping someone else. "Okay, what was all that about?" I asked Edward warily, raising an eyebrow and knowing well he could see it. I heard Edward groan, and then I heard him muttering, "You're brother is a huge freakin' pervert, my Bella."
"Um, is it something that I want to know?" I asked him, crossing one arm across my chest. Abruptly, before Edward could answer, I heard a loud female cry and I gasped. "Bella, before you jump to conclusions, I can explain!" Edward exclaimed from the other end. "Oh really, then why did I just hear a female gasp over there?" I asked him hotly, sighing angrily through my nose. Alice and Rosalie immediately froze and slowly turned their heads simultaneously towards me.
"Bella, it's not what you think. We were bored and since we knew to even think about hiring a stripper to come here, Emmett suggested we should watch… uh, his um, porno movies…" Edward explained to me embarrassingly, coughing awkwardly. I choked on my own saliva and felt my eyes bugging out. "Okay, well, I don't think I even want to know why Emmett even has those movies, but you better be telling me the truth here, mister." I replied back, sighing and scratching my head.
"Trust me, love. We have nothing of sorts that even have the name "stripper" within this household." Edward reassured me, sighing in relief. "You better forewarn Emmett now that Rosalie is sure going to be pissed at him when I tell her about those movies." I added, giggling. Edward chuckled from the other line before he said, "I'll remember, love. I have to go now before your brother decides to unplug the phone line. I love you and I'll see you later on tonight. Night."; then, he ended the call.
"Alright, was there a damn stripper at that house?" Rosalie asked me, sighing angrily. I laughed and said, "No, Rose. Emmett made the guys watch some of his weird porno movies." Rosalie gasped and narrowed her eyes while Alice rolled her eyes. "Figures Emmett would save those shitty movies. He's been saving them ever since he hit puberty." Alice commented, wagging her index finger disapprovingly. Rosalie and I stared at her in shock.
"What?" Alice asked, looking between Rose and me, confused. Rosalie and I looked at each other before we both shuddered. "That's probably why he's been so perverted ever since high school." I muttered, shaking my head sadly. "You didn't have to live with him ever since he was like eight." Alice retorted, laughing. Rosalie laughed along with her while I rolled my eyes again.
For the rest of the night, we watched the movie we were watching, eating ice cream and laughing together at the funny parts.

(March 20th)
Rosalie's POV
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god… Oh My GOD!
"Guys, I don't know if I can do this!" I cried, breathing heavily in and out. Angela and Jessica came over in hopes to try to get me to calm down, while my mother told my dad – who made it to my wedding this time – to tell the guests to wait for a bit.
Today was the wedding day, the day where I would become Emmett's permanent wife forever. However, instead of being ecstatic and excited to become this beast's wife, I'm have many panic attacks that are causing me to breathe erratically – right now is an example. I have no idea if this is what I should've done in the first place. I know I'm not right for Emmett, and I know for sure I'm not good as the marrying type! God, what should I do? Should I make a run for it and save us both from this mistake? No; that'll break Emmett's heart again, and it will really leave a huge hole in my heart. Should I tell him that I need more time to think? No, no; we have everything all set and it would be a horrible waste if I were to tell him I needed more time. Ugh! Having a wedding can be so stressful on a girl!
I think the hardest thing for me about the wedding was finding the dress and all its contents. I had a white, floor length white, lacy gown with white opened toe high heels. Instead of doing my hair in a difficult style, we just placed an off-white bow headband in my blond hair, while adding white diamond earrings and red lipstick with light pink blush, shimmering golden eye shadow and black mascara. Looking in the mirror, I found myself looking gorgeous, though I hope that none of this goes to waste today.
"Rosalie?" I looked up helplessly as both Bella and Alice came walking into the room, looks of concern on their face. Bella wore a gray and black empire pregnant women kind of dress with black jeweled ballet flats along with wearing shimmering aquamarine blue eye shadowing and red lip gloss. Alice wore a heart shaped gray dress that stopped at her mid-thigh and that had a big black blow on the bust of her dress, and since she was more coordinated on high heels, she wore black pumps. She also wore semi biege shimmering eye shadow and red lip gloss as well.
"Rose, what's the matter? Are you having cold feet?" Alice asked me, standing on my left side while Bella stood on my right. "Yes... No... I don't know. I'm just so nervous; I'm having second thoughts about all of this, but I know Emmett and I can't wait any longer in getting married. We love each other so much and I know in my heart that this is the right thing to do, but my brain and my gut are telling me to back out of this, that I know I'm not the perfect marrying type. What should I do?!" I asked them desperately, on the brink of tears.
"Well for one, Rose, you shouldn't cry. That's our job." Alice teased, handing me a tissue so I could dab at my eyes to stop the tears from flowing. I laughed shakily at her joke and nodded. "And second, Rose, is if you love my brother - and I mean love him to death, honey - then I know that the both of you are making the correct decision. I know that you two are crazy about each other, and I know that you're excited to become the mother of Emmett's twins. So, just get married but make sure that Emmett doesn't push you too far, Rose. If he does, just tell me and I'll straighten him out." Bella explained, hugging me around the shoulders.
"And don't forget about me, Rose. Both Bella and I can knock some sense into the big goof of a brother of ours - well, brother to Bella and adoptive brother to me, but you get the idea." Alice assured me, giggling while she too hugged me around the shoulders. "Thanks you guys; you're the best." I whispered, smiling appreciatively up at my best friends. "We'll go tell everyone you'll be out soon." Bella told me just before she and Alice waddled out of the room I was in.
I sighed, turned back to the mirror, made last minute touch ups to my hair and face, before I left the room to join my father that was outside the chapel/main wedding room. He looked up and gasped from my appearance. "Aw, my Rose is all grown up." he breathed, embracing me . I smiled and kissed his cheek, giggling. "Emmett better not screw up anything with you, Rosie." my dad murmured, tapping my nose lightly with his index finger. "Don't worry, daddy. I'm sure the girls and Jasper and Edward will be there to knock some sense into him if he even makes one miniscule mistake with me." I assured him, pecking the tip of his nose and giving him one more hug.
The door opened and Jasper poked his head out. "Time to get this show on the road, guys." he told us, winking before he closed the doors. Seconds later, the large doors opened, reavealing every guest we invited to this wedding. Jessica and Angela were waiting at the door and they smiled from my appearance. Several other guests - mostly the guys - were staring at me longer than most of the guests. Jessica and Angela began their way towards the front of the chapel where my man was waiting with a large goofy smile on his face and his grey eyes twinkling brightly.
The wedding march began when we set foot inside the chapel. We made our slow walk to the front, where I smiled at the faces I recognized. Bella looked very happy that I was marrying her brother with silent tears of joy rolling down her pale face; Edward who was standing beside her had his arms wrapped around her stomach and he kissed some of the tears away, smiling up at me. Alice was practically bouncing on the spot, her face ecstatic, while my brother was standing my future husband, smirking at me.
Finally, we reached Emmett where his large, meaty hand was extended. My dad looked at me, my hand in both of his and he brought my hand up to his lips, placing a delicate little fatherly kiss on my hand, before he placed it in Emmett's hand. Emmett and my dad shared a knowing look, and with a nod, my father stepped back, heading over to where my mom was sitting.
The wedding ceremony went without a hitch whatsoever; our vows were well written - not too corny but romantic all the same - and of course being Emmett, just barely after the minister had announced us as husband and wife, Emmett eagerly gave me a big smooch while the minister mumbled, "Um, you may uh, go on about kissing the bride."; of course, that earned many laughs from the guests. I threw my arms around his neck, bouquet and all, before Emmett reluctantly pulled away when he heard Piper suddenly squeal out, "Eeew!" I blushed and avoided eye contact with the crowd when they stood up and clapped for the both of us.
They clapped for the new Mr. and Mrs. Swan.
Tada! :D

"Bella, are you sure you want to do this now?" Edward asked me gently.
Well, did I really want America to know about these kinds of problems, particularly this one?
