Chapter 25

Emmett POV

"You motherfucker!" I screamed, I lunged at my father, only to recoil in the tight pain from my gunshot wound.

My father backed up quickly, the look of anger on his face was the worst I've ever seen.

"Don't you dare use that tone of voice with me, son." He said with a calm coolness that had always pissed me off when I was younger.

"Then don't mess around in my goddamn life!" I screamed.

"I wouldn't have too if you knew how to take care of yourself! You're still a goddamn child that falls for every innocent puppy bitch to fall into your lap. Alexa wormed her way into your home, into your heart, and she used you for your money!" he yelled right back, his calm exterior shattering.

"I was stupid and young when I got together with that gold-digger! I've learned that, I was fresh out of high school, going into college—I was cocky, okay?! I've realized that now, and I've realized my mistake for taking her in. She was alone, and pregnant for god sakes, what in the hell was I supposed to do? Leave her die on the street?"

"She lied to you! She was in league with her lover to embezzle money from our family! She purposely put herself in that situation to get the attention of an idiot rich boy that would most likely take pity on her poor ass!"

"Yeah, she lied to me! So what?! What did you expect me to do, let her live on the street like that? You raised and taught me better than that, helping people is a rewarding thing not a hobby that you fucking take up! I know that she lied to me, and I accepted that! But Rosalie is completely different from Alexa… the situation she was in was real, she was being raped by her father, beaten by her father; I saw all the things he did to her, I saw the terror in her eyes when I made a sudden movement! She looked like a frightened animal about to be hit by a car! I knew that she was for real when I laid eyes on her; but you had no right to take her away from me! She's mine, you son of a bitch!"

My father's eyes were cold when he stared me down, trying to intimidate me like he often did when I was younger, and I had done something wrong—or something that he didn't approve of.

"I understand that her case was real, Emmett; but you can't help them all." He said.

I glared at him, breathing heavy from my last batch of words—god my chest hurt,"I'm not trying to help them all, just her. She appeared in front of me, and I knew—absolutely knew, that she wouldn't be like Alexa and try and take money away from my family. That's why I took a chance on her, and ended up falling in love with her! I know I was stupid when I let Alexa do all the things that she did, but I watched Rosalie when she was with me, she wasn't even remotely like Alexa…but I can't have a single person in my life without you having to interfere! I want her in my life! You know why? Because it's my life you goddamn bastard!"

"Your words are empty to me, Emmett, you are my son; I want what's best for you, that's all."

"What you think is best for me, I think it's just shit—now get the FUCK out of here!"

My father chuckled, and then made the movements to leave, but that was before he jumped his shit and struck me with a pussy footed punch that felt like a small mosquito bite.

Rosalie POV

The sedated me, and trapped me against the bed.

No matter how much I struggled, I wasn't getting free anytime soon.

I sat in that hospital bed, I was nothing but a vegetable with all the meds they were pumping into me—or maybe I was just finally shutting down.

The doctors came in then, I added a line of drool to make my state more realistic.

"Are your pumping her with that much?" the nurse asked nervously.

"Not enough to hurt them, just enough to keep her from hurting herself and the fetus." The doctor said, flipping the chart on the end of my bed.

What?

What did he just say?
