Chapter 24

Abigail POV

I smile at my daughter and her mate as he kisses her abdomen before embracing her. I gave them all a few moments before clearing my throat lightly. They all turned, my daughters coming to embrace me. My youngest, Chasity, looks up at me with big eyes. "You have to go now don't you?"

I smile sadly at her, kissing her forehead. "Yes my child. It is time for me to go."

"Carlisle, everyone made it…except…." Emmett chocked up before he could voice a name. "They got Rose."

I study the grief stricken vampire. "Who is this Rose?"

He looked up at me with venom filled eyes. "My mate. The love of my life."

I nod. "Would you like for me to see if I could bring back this Rose? I must warn you. I do not know in which form I can bring her back if I can at all. She may return a vampire, yet she may return human as well. The choice for me to try is yours."

"Please. I don't care how she comes back as long as I can have her with me."

Nodding my head, I close my eyes, looking in the light for Rosalie's soul, or spirit, or something of her to bring back.

The world falls away like a morning mist as I enter the in-between. Everything is bright and white with a light fog that reaches to your knees. I scan the horizon swiftly for a moment. "Rose. Rose?"

"…"

"It's Abigail dear. Emmett, your mate, asked me to bring you back to him if you'd like."

The blonde beauty appears just a few steps from me, sitting up out of the fog. She rubs her head gently before wincing and gazing over at me. "Where am I?"

I hold a hand out to her to take and help her stand. "This, my dear, is the in-between. You come here when you have been deemed dead, yet you can carry on to the afterlife, or go back to the world. It is up to you."

She nods slowly, eyes wide. "And if I go back?"

"I'm not sure how you will be when you return. I've never dealt with vampires that were not to die. "

"So you don't know if I'll return a human or a vampire?"

I nod sadly. She looks away, her face smoothed over. After a few moments a small smile spreads across her face and a single tear leaves her cheek." I can't go back a vampire. I love Emmett, with everything in me and so much more, but I just can't go back to that again."

"I understand. The choice is yours. Your mate loves you very much. However, as I said before, the choice is yours. If you heart is not set to go back I cannot help you leave."

She looks at me a moment before nodding and holding her hands out.

Embry POV

Amanda lay in my arms, kissing my chin, chest, shoulder, and neck, anything she could reach from under my hold as we wait to hear from her mom or Rosalie. They'd been gone for two hours already and Emmett wasn't leaving till he heard from one of them. One way or another he would find out about his mate. I looked down at my fiery imprint. The love of my life. My mate I waited so long for. She turns big molten eyes to me with a soft and sweet smile. I kiss her forehead before whispering,"Was it worth it?"

"Was what worth it?" She turns in my arms, sitting on my legs to face me and wrapping her arms around my neck. I place my large hands on her slim waist, my fingertips brushing each other on her back. "I remember one little red head that wanted to skip out on me when she first found out about all this."

She looks me in the eye, causing all other coherent thought to leave. I hate when she does that, bats her big eyes lashes like that and gazes into my eyes. Messes up my point every time!

"Embry, everything we have been through from the day you were born, the day I was born, and to the very moment and all the moments we have after was and will be worth every thousandth of a second I have with you. I love you."

I have no words for her. All I could do in that moment was kiss her with as much sweet love as shed just expressed to me. The first time my girl has ever been soft and opened up at all like that and I have nothing to say. My heart feels like it may not fit in my chest anymore it's so big.

"Rose?" Emmett's rough man whisper broke our kiss as we watched as a human Rosalie stands next to a transparent figure of Abigail. Wait human Rosalie?

Emmett POV

"Rose?"

She stood not a yard away from me. Hair the same, shape the same. Just no her golden eyes are the brightest blue and her skin is a soft natural tan. The slight flush of her face tells me she's warm and the smell of her makes my mouth water. Not thirst, no never thirst for her. Need. I need Rose. She's my world. My everything.

"Emmy?" Her voice, still sweetest sound I'll ever hear. She may have bitched and whined and annoyed everyone as a vamp, including me, but she was the unhappiest of all of us combined. Just the sound her voice has a happier ring to it. Damn I'll do anything to make my girl happy.

I stand slowly, not because I want to move slow for the people around us, I just want to take as much time looking at her right now that I can. I want to remember this. Do it right.

When I get toe to toe with her, my cold hands cup her warm cheeks, framing her face as I brush a thumb just above her cheek bones. A soft sign and smile reach my eye and ears, and she turns her big blue eyes to mine. One of her small hands came up to lay over mine. "Emmett, I'm human again. Isn't it amazing?"

If I was human I'd be handing my balls to her on a silver platter, because I'd have tears in my eyes. I do feel the venom pool in my eyes, but it won't ever fall even if I'd let it. "Yeah babe. It's pretty amazing. You look so much happier. You look like my Rose."

Tears fill her eyes too, spilling over and she kisses me softly before embracing me. I try to push her away a bit to not freeze her, but she just shakes her head and tightens her hold on me. "No Emmett. I have to get used to it. Just because I'm not a vampire with you anymore doesn't mean I'm not staying with you. I love you, idiot."

It started with a small smirk and just grew till I was full out laughing with joy. Have I mentioned this girl is my absolute world?

"Actually that's why I'm still here." The girls' mom broke our moment, but Rose smiles over at her and hold my arms around her.

"Yes?"

Her shadowy smile is hard to see in the greying early morning, but with my heightened sense of sight I can just see it. "Emmett, my soul is old and tired. I've lived in the in between watching over my girls for some time. It's time for my soul to finally rest, to give up my human half. This half usually is passed down to the next born baby, but with your permission, I'd like to give you what human half Rose didn't take."

I look down at Rose a bit confused. Half? "Rose you look fully human to me. What does she mean half?"

She turns and motions our entire family closer so no questions will be asked later. "When Abigail came to find me, she told me that to become human and come back to you, she would give me her human half. Emmett I couldn't leave you. I couldn't stay with you while I aged and died and you stayed just like this and lived alone after I was gone. I didn't want that. So Abigail only gave my half her human soul. This way I'm full human and she can turn you back human too. We can live together. We'll still age, just a bit slower than actual humans. We'll look five years or so younger than the age we chose to say we are. I want to stay in Forks with our family, and the girls. I even want to stay near the mutts. Emmett they are a part of our family, dysfunctional as it is, but still they are family. I say we start off our lives at twenty one year old newlyweds, go to college, get jobs, and just live for as long as possible. Together."

No Ones POV

As Rosalie finished her tale, Emmett embraced his mate and soon to be legal wife for the last time before becoming human. Abigail bid her daughter's farewells and as her image faded and the light surrounding her grew brighter, it surrounded Emmett. Slowly his skin started to darken, his eyes change to a dark green and his body warm back up. The only pain felt was when his organs started working again after being dead for so long. Once that moment of pain disappeared, the light receded into him. And as the sun rose over the trees, setting the clearing aflame with the golden morning glow, Rose bound into Emmett's waiting arms and kissed him for the first time as humans.
