7 minutes in heaven

Chapter Thirty-Five

Rosalie's point of view.

I took a deep breath in, looking back and forth between Jacob and Renesmee, who both looked extremely nervous and worried. If I were them, I would be worried, too. I could already hear Edward, his voice loud and rough and so unlike himself as he went on and on about how this was such a terrible idea. Alice, Jasper and Esme were gone hunting. We wanted them to wait until Edward and Bella knew first, to tell them.

"As you know," Carlisle said suddenly, making my head snap up as I jumped a little, "we are all here today because Jacob and Renesmee have something very, very important to tell all of us."

I looked up at Emmett, who just took my hand, squeezed it reasurringly, knowing that I was nervous for the both of them. I just nodded and gave my best smile, even though my insides were churning with every silent moment that went by until Jacob began to speak.

"I... I don't really know what I'm suppose to say here," he said, his voice wavering and cracking. He looked at Renesmee and I could tell by the look on her face she wanted to be anywhere but here. I wanted to go over and hug her, tell her everything was going to be fine, it had to be, and that I would be here for her no matter what.

But I couldn't do that. All I could do was watch and wait.

"And I really dont know how you are all going to react..." He looked up at me as he said this. I smiled at him encouragingly, even though on the inside, I was just as nervous as they were. "But it's something that needs to be put out there."

"Jacob..." Renesmee said suddenly, her voice a whisper. "I can't do this. Not now..."

Jacob turned to face her, and his voice, too, was just a whisper as he said, "Nessie, we have to do it now. If we don't..." He shook his head. "If we don't do it now, it'll just get harder and harder to spit out."

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself. When she looked up, I saw her nod at Jacob.

Jacob nodded and squeezed her hand before opening his mouth. "... We're expecting."

Edward's eyes were amused, now. "Emmett, this is one of your stupid pranks isn't it?" he asked, looking over to my goof of a husband.

Emmett just shook his head, "Bro... that would be going too far." he said seriously.

I smiled up at him. As much of a pain he could be, I loved him for it.

Bella was clearly in shock - just looking at the one spot, seeming to be consuming everything.

"Too far?" Edward questioned, smirking. "You don't know the definition of too far." He turned his attention back to Renesmee and Jacob. "Come on you two, we'll make dinner."

Renesmee frowned. "Dad... it's true." And something in her voice, maybe it was the way it cracked, or the sincerity of it, but something, something made his face change, and he seemed to finally believe it.

"It's true, Edward. I examined her myself..." Carlisle spoke up. "She's definitely expecting."

I'm not quite sure what could of made Edward more mad. The fact that his daughter had sex, or the fact that she was pregnant. I imagined if Emmalie was in this position and Edward and Bella helped her spring it on us. I shuddered at the thought and I honestly didn't even want to think about what Emmett would do. Though, as Edward just shook his head, giving Renesmee all the disapproval she needed to turn to Jacob and start crying, he got up and left the room, Bella then shaking her head as well.

"You don't seem surprised, Rose..." Bella stated, looking up at me, her face seeming whiter then usual.

I nodded. "I'm not... I was the first one she told."

Bella sighed. "And it didn't occur to you to tell me? Her mother?"

"Bella... she made me promise to keep it between her and I. I didn't want to lose her trust. I had to take her to Carlisle and ask him to test her before telling anyone anything, anyways, to confirm it."

Bella shook her head. "Rose, that's not your job, it's mine. She's my baby girl." A few months back, that would of hurt more then she intended it to.

I nodded, not wanting to argue with her. I would be angry, too. "If it helps, she only told me Monday," it was now Thursday. "I wanted to give her some time to talk with Jacob about it."

Bella nodded and took a deep breath in, turning to Renesmee. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen," she started out. "I'm very dissappointed in you." She turned to Jacob. "And Jacob..." she just shook her head, closing her eyes. "God, I don't know where to start with you." she said as she sighed. "My baby girl... You slept with my baby girl!"

Jacob frowned. "Bells... I love her."

Bella shook her head. "I don't want to hear it," she said, standing up. "And Rose," she said, turning to me again. "Next time, let me handle it." Then, she walked off.

I sighed and looked down as Emmett wrapped an arm around my waist, kissing my cheek. "You did nothing wrong, Rose." he murmured in my ear so only I could hear. I nodded and sighed as I got up and gave Jacob a look that said, 'let us talk to her.' He nodded and kissed her forehead as he got up and left the house, lingering in the front yard.

I took a deep breath in and took her into my arms as her small frame shook. "Renesmee... they'll get used to it. I promise."

She hiccuped. "No, no they won't."

I nodded. "They will. Your mom will come to terms with it soon, that I swear to. Your dad may take a little longer to accept it, but he will. Do you think Charlie fully accepted it when your mom got pregnant?" I asked, though I knew that Charlie didn't exactly know until after the baby was born.

She shook her head.

"Well, there you go. Give them time."

She nodded and bit her lip. "Can I stay with you, Aunt Rose? Until they simmer down?"

I nodded. "If that's okay with your parents, then you know you're more then welcomed in our home."

She gave me a soft smile. "Thank you." she murmured softly.

I nodded and kissed her forehead, knowing she also wanted some help with the pregnancy and thought since I was the most reccent mother of the family, I could help her out. I was more then happy too. I motioned Jacob back in and he reluctantly took his place by her side. "I love you, Nessie." he said softly as I took Emmett's hand and Carlisle followed us out of the room to give them some privacy.

"Rose," Emmett said softly as we got outside. "Bella didn't mean it."

I sighed, she really was like a sister to me, now. "I guess not."

Carlisle placed a hand on my shoulder. "Rosalie, if you were in Bella's position, wouldn't you be upset, too?" he asked softly.

I nodded. "Yeah, I would be."

"Exactly," he said, rubbing my shoulder. "Like you told Nessie- give her time."

I smiled softly and nodded. "Thanks dad." I paused, "Want to come see the twins?" I asked. He hadn't seen them in a while.

He smiled. "I'd love to. I wanna give them a little check up, anyways."

Emmett and I led Carlisle to the house and up the stairs, down the hall and into the twin's room. Emmalie was awake and standing up in her crib, gripping the bars, and Noah was awake but still laying down, his feet in the air. Carlisle went over to him and picked him up, and I walked over to Emmalie and scooped her into my arms. When I did, she erupted into a fit of cries, tears sprawling down her face in a matter of seconds. I tried to bounce her in my arms -that always usually calmed her down- but it didn't work out, and she kept crying.

"What's the matter, baby girl?" I asked, continuing to bounce her in my arms. "Emmalie..."

"Here," Carlisle said, handing Noah off to Emmett, "let me see her." I furrwoed my brow but listened to him. He did, after all, know what was best. He took Emmalie over to the change table and put her down. Emmett and I were by his side instantly, hovering over his shoulders and peering down at our baby girl, still crying.

"Emmett, I need a needle," he said, and I jumped a little. Emmett zipped into the Carlisle's office, and within seconds, was back with the needle in hand. Carlisle took it from him and then inserted it into the vein prominitely showing in her arm as Emmett snaked and arm around my waist but I pulled back, keeping my hands gripped tightly on the crib as my already pale white knuckles somehow turned whiter.

Emmett was just as distraught as I was and he knew that usually, being in his arms calmed me down, but I didn't want to miss anything. I wanted to be there for my little girl. She cried as Carlise inserted it and I winced.
