Seven Minutes in Heaven

Chapter Thirty-Six

Rosalie's point of view.

"She's going to be fine," Carlisle said when Emmalie's crying subsided.

"Thank god," I breathed, turning to Emmett and hugging him tightly, my arms wrapped around his waist.

Emmett sighed, relieved, and wrapped his muscular arms around my shoulders as I closed my eyes, inhaling his calming scent. "I can't handle anything going wrong," I whispered softly as Carlisle also placed a hand on my shoulder.

"She's going to be fine, Rose. Her venom was low. I had to give her more, although, she will probably need needles of it until she's completed her growing, around about 17." Carlisle explained as I nodded.

"So, how often will she need one?" I asked, turning to Carlisle as Emmett wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and looked down at Emmalie.

"I'm thinking once every 6 weeks." Carlisle said gently.

I nodded. "As long as she'll be okay."

He nodded and smiled softly. "Everything will be fine, Rosalie."

I smiled softly at him as Emmalie slowly fell asleep and Noah lid back down, too. He yawned and I decided to leave him to sleep as the three of us left the room. We went downstairs and into the living room, sitting on the couch and I turned on the fireplace. "So how's the family, lately?"

Carlisle shrugged. "Esme's been better. She's happy for you guys but having the twins and Renesmee around makes her feel like she's lacking something." he sighed.

I frowned. "Is there anyway we can help?" Emmett asked, taking my hand.

Carlisle shook his head. "No, that's sweet though. I think I just need to help her get through it. Who knows, maybe one day we'll find out something that will allow us to have offspring. Hopefully."

I nodded, "Hopefully, I know what it feels like and I wouldn't wish it on anyone." I breathed.

Carlisle nodded. "I know, sweetheart. But she has you guys and Renesmee and the twins, so I'm hoping that will help her through it, too."

"Should we talk to her?" Emmett asked.

"If you want to, you can but It's not her favourite thing to talk about. She's been feeling better the last few days about everything and I don't want her to know about Renesmee's pregnancy just yet because of it."

Emmett nodded, "We'll keep our mouths shut. It will be our little secret."

Carlisle smiled. "Thank you,"

"I really hope Edward and Bella aren't too hard on her... I mean, Bella got pregnant at a young age, too, and it's a miracle that Renesmee can have kids." I said.

The boys nodded. "Yeah, though I can see the protective parents thing, too." Carlisle said.

I nodded, "Yeah, same. But at the end of the day, it can't be undone. I won't let it be undone."

Carlisle raised a brow. "Care to elaborate?"

"Well, just think of all the humans who have abotions. Yeah, some places do make it illegal though there are so many places that do have them legalised. Even in places where they are illegal, people find ways and I know when I was told I couldn't have children, I hated these people so much because of their willingness to just give up; to kill a baby, when so many others can't reproduce for whatever reason, not just myself. I won't let Edward and Bella convinced Renesmee to give this child up, though I doubt they will, they may bring it up as an option and Carlisle, I really hope you would be against it, too." I said, hating the thought of what Esme would think if she was to get an abortion. No, it was highly unlikely, but it was possible and that was all it took to set me off.

Carlise sighed, nodding. "Rosalie, I understand that, I do. But if for whatever reason that Renesmee don't want this baby, she has a right to decide that."

"Would you do it? Kill the baby knowing Esme wants a child so badly and can't? Would you kill a baby knowing the pain it causes some knowing they can't have one?" I asked, looking at him expectantly.

He didn't answer for a long moment. "It's her decision, Rose." he finally said. "Although, no, I wouldn't personally do it. I couldn't."

"Good," I said softly. "Have you ever done it before?" I asked.

He nodded. "I'm a doctor, Rose."

I frowned and he sighed. "I don't have a choice."

"You never told Esme, did you?"

He sighed. "No, but I dear say she suspects it, and, for whatever it's worth, I always try to convince the mothers differently. But you know as well as I that when a persons mind is set to something, it takes more time then I have with the patient to change it."

I nodded. "I understand, I just hate the thought."

"Me too, Rose. I've never done one past 6 months of pregnancy, though. I've gotten other doctors too if the patient persisted on getting one."

I nodded and although I hated people who would kill an almost fully developed infant, I smiled. "I'm glad." The later you waited, the more the baby would be grown and be in fact a baby. People who believed that it was a piece of tissue or that it wasn't a baby until it was born were really uneducated.

He gave me a small smile and hugged me tightly. "Always the one coming to the rescue of ones who can't defend themselves." he whispered in my ear as I hugged him back. "I love you, Rose."

I smiled. "I love you, too, Dad."

He pulled back and smiled. "Want to know a secret that only Esme and I know?" he asked the both of us.

Emmett nodded, "Sure."

"Esme and I have been on the adoption list for close to 3 years, now. Although, you know how long a couple could be on one until they get a baby. For a healthy baby, about 10 years and obviously, we can't stay in one place for that long."

"But where you're a doctor can't you do something extra to move you up on the list?" I asked, quirking my brow.

He shook his head, sighing. "Unfortunately, no. It's unfair just because of my occupation to move us up on the list. I've tried everything I can to get a baby for Esme and I and I can't. All we can do is hope that one day, we will be able to adopt. Or maybe like I said earlier by a miracle, she'll be able to get pregnant."

I nodded and frowned. "It must make it harder." Emmett said softly, the way he would talk to me when I was upset.

"It does, especially on Esme. I don't need a baby to be happy, I feel like a father already to you kids, but I know Esme longs for a child and I want to give her one to make her happy. It kills me that I can't give her what she wants. You must know that feeling, Emmett." Carlisle finished, looking at Emmett.

Emmett frowned, looking down at me, taking my hand tightly. "I do,"

I looked up at him, kissing his cheek. "What do you mean?"

A small smile appeared on his face as he shook his head. "Rose, you can't honestly believe that I didn't feel bad for not being able to give you children."

I frowned. "I knew you wanted kids, as much as you said that you were happy with just me..."

"It hurt me just as bad, although I had to be strong for you because I knew that you were more fragile where it was ripped from you at one point. For me, I was always happy with you. But knowing you weren't hurt."

"Emmett, you were always enough for me." I said, smiling sadly, feeling bad for making him think that.

"I didn't mean it that way, Rosalie. I knew you loved me, but the motherly instinct in you yearned for a child and I knew you would be a great mother, and you are." he said, hugging me from behind.

"I love you, Em. So much." I murmured, resting my head back on his shoulder.

"I love you too, Rosalie. You and our family." I smiled and then looked back to Carlisle. "Have you been on the adoption list for longer then just 3 years? I mean in other towns?"

Carlisle shook his head. "No, just here in Forks. Esme and I only decided to try adoption while we were here, when Bella got pregnant it was a hard issue for her, just like you."

I nodded, frowning. "I wish there was someway I could help."

Carlisle nodded, "I know, Rose, although, just being there for her, being a daughter to her does help."

I heard soft knocks on the door. It was 3:21am, and I quirked a brow as Emmett pulled back from kissing me. We were cuddled up together on our bed like usual, having a little alone time. I had on my tank top and pyjama pants, Emmett in his blue silk boxers. I kissed his forehead before going over to the window, looking down at the porch, seeing Renesmee stood there, tears glowing in the moonlight as they ran down her face.

"It's Renesmee," I said softly, turning away from the window. "Get dressed, I'm going to go let her in."

He nodded and I left the room, going down the staircase and into the porch. I opened the door swiftly. "Come in, sweetheart." I said as she nodded, swallowing hard.

As soon as she came in, I engulfed her into a hug when she shut the door. Motherly instinct. "What's wrong?"

She hugged me back, dropping the small bag that was in her hand. "My dad," she replied.

"What did he do?" I asked, pulling back to look at her. "Never mind that, we'll talk about it later. Let's get you inside and into the spare bedroom. Stay here tonight." I figured she wanted to.

She nodded, biting her lip. "Thank you," the voice would of been inaudible to any human ears.

I placed a hand on her back, ushering her up the stairs as Emmett came out, a muscle tee on and pyjama pants. He stood by the rail until I led her into the spare bedroom and he filed in after. I sat Renesmee down on the bed and took her bag. She was already in her pyjama pants. "Rose, Emmett," she said softly. "can I stay with you guys for a little while?"

Emmett nodded, sitting on the edge of the bed on the other side of her. "We already said you could, love." he said, rubbing her arm gently. "Does your mom or dad know you're here?"

She shook her head. "No, but Jacob does. He wanted me to stay with him but he knows just as much about all of this as I do and I needed someone who could tell me what's happening because I'm so lost." More tears were in her eyes at this. "I don't know what to do, and dad isn't making this anymore bearable."

I placed a hand on her knee. "What happened?" I asked as Noah started crying.

"I'll be back," Emmett said softly as he left the room, going to feed Noah. He usually woke up around now for a bottle. Emmalie was fine, eating normally and playing and I was glad that it wasn't anything too serious. I turned a lamp off, shutting the blinds and turning the room light off. Emmett then came back in. "Noah's got the bottle." They fed themselves now.

I smiled softly. "Thank you."

He nodded, giving me a small smile back before we sat down with Renesmee again. "Sorry," I apologized for the interruption.

"It's alright... You guys are so good with the twins." she said softly. She wouldn't make eye contact.

"Practise," I said gently. "lots of it. Babies have their own schedule and you just get used to it." I seen her not making eye contact and took her hand. "Renesmee, you don't need to be ashamed of anything here. We love you and we're going to love our great niece."

She smiled up at me and Emmett nodded in agreement. "Well, actually, he or she is going to be your goddaughter, if you two will agree."

I smiled lovingly, hugging her tightly. "We would love that." Emmett smiled. "We would." he agreed.

She smiled. "I'm glad," she then sighed. "My dad," she started. "when you guys left and mom and him talked, he started yelling at me. When I started crying, mom came over and took me in her arms and told me she loved me, but she wasn't happy about this. I was in bed and I felt a sharp pain go through me and when I went to ask mom what it was and mom said it was the baby kicking, dad was a little on edge and told me to go back to bed. I told him not to snap at me and mom tried to calm him down, but he got upset with her, too. I could tell he almost had her in tears if she could be in tears and I just had to leave... I hate staying there."

Emmett frowned immensely. "I'm talking to him tomorrow." he said, shaking his head trying to contain his own anger. "I'm definitely talking to him tomorrow."

I knew Emmett was mad with his brother for being so stupid. Being such an ass.

Renesmee frowned. "He's going to get mad."

"I don't care," Emmett said, then, trying to make her feel better, he smirked. "I'm the stronger brother, remember?" he gave her a small wink and a small giggle escaped her lips.

I kissed her forehead. "Don't worry about anything, baby. Just concentrate on a healthy pregnancy, keep the stress to a minimum and try and get some sleep. Everything will work out. I promise you. If anything happens and you're unsure of it, come get me, alright?"

She nodded. "Alright, thanks so much Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett. I love you."

We both smiled and told her we loved her too before saying goodnight and going back to our room. I knew we had a lot to deal with regarding the pregnancy, Edward and Esme in the next few months that her pregnancy progressed.
