I hope you guys will love the next surprise!


Emmett let me go just like I knew he would his arms unwinding from me as quickly as if I'd just been turned into a disgusting serpent. I sobbed as Emmett left the room wordlessly the door slamming behind him. I heard his heavy breathing and the patterns between breaths becoming rapid. Rosslyn's fingers wound on the fabric of my dress holding tightly and looking up to me in confusion and hurt. He was my only comfort now. Everett was the problem. I wished the horrible tragedy away like I would open my eyes from the nightmare and everything would be perfect. The way it should be… The way it was supposed to be!

In 1933, I was left dying, bleeding, and completely stripped of my pride in the streets of Rochester, New York. I was alone after Royce and his friends left me. Or so I thought… It could have been any of the drunken, horrible men present that night, but Royce was the one that left me conceived with his child.

I screamed a piercing scream, and threw a vase of roses into the wall. The vase hit the wall with a shattering crash and dented the wall under the blow... Rosslyn inhaled sharply and stepped away from me, frightened. It wasn't fair! I hated Royce King. I hated him with every bit of passion inside of me. I hated the child he'd left me with too. I was enraged. I wasn't crying because I felt sorry for myself or anything. I was just as angry that something as perfect as mine and Emmett's miracle of having our own child had to be ruined with the nightmare of Royce's child ruining it. The door swung open and I didn't have to look up to know who it was.

"Rosalie. What's going on?" Carlisle had come back with Emmett his expression disheveled and full of disbelief. Emmett picked me up in his arms holding me like a child. I couldn't answer Carlisle as I held close to Emmett. Emmett just held me, pressing me against him no advances on trying to stroke my cheek or brush his hand through my hair in soothing. He was motionless as he held me.

"Where's Everett? Emmett just said… there was something… wrong." Carlisle asked of me, his eyes scanning over the scene of me, clutching to Emmett crying and Rosslyn, backed into the corner of the room his eyes wide as he shook with fear.

"I d-d-don't know!" I sobbed.

"Rosalie, you have to tell me what's wrong so I can fix it." Carlisle said like he was talking to one of his baby patients.

"Everett… Isn't… Emmett's." It sounded so much worse that way. Every word hurt like I was pulling a dagger through the inside of my throat.

"Rosalie. What are you talking about?" Carlisle's tone became even sharper and looked at me like I was crazy.

"He's… I know it doesn't make sense, but… It's Royce's." I was able to mumble.

"But that's… physically impossible." Carlisle informed us. Emmett set me down on the ground sharply snarling.

"Is anything impossible anymore Carlisle?!" Emmett snapped throwing his hands up in frustration.

"But Rosalie, if you conceived Everett in 1933, wouldn't that mean he… was frozen in that state for over seventy years?" Carlisle tried to reason with Emmett and me. Rosslyn didn't understand, and it was good that he didn't…

"Yes. Why not?" Emmett growled.

"Because Emmett, if she was already pregnant with Everett, then Rosslyn would never have grown. Maybe it's all just a coincidence that he looks like him." Carlisle sounded less and less convincing as he continued to try and reason with us. Carlisle had met Royce before. He knew him in 1933 when they'd met on the streets of Rochester, New York. He remembered him perfectly. And even Carlisle recognized that the child did indeed have Royce in his eyes. He sighed, as he observed that Emmett and I weren't going to budge in what we believed. "Okay, but the science is completely unexplainable though!" Carlisle still tried to persuade us.

Emmett cursed science…

"Emmett, don't talk that way in front of Rosslyn, please!" I begged him taking the wide eyed Rosslyn from Carlisle's arms and holding him close.

"But honestly Carlisle. Rosslyn's science is completely unexplainable too." Emmett reasoned.

"That would mean, Everett was frozen when Rosalie made her transformation into a vampire, continued on being frozen inside of her for over seventy years, and then, when the shot from the Volturi induced Rosslyn's growth, it sparked Everett as well, and that's why there were two children, who aren't really twins at all." Carlisle ranted.

"That sounds about right" I nodded. "It explains why he's more vampire than Rosslyn too…" I breathed. The truth was so obvious yet I was oblivious to it.

"So his heart stopped along with Rosalie's in 1933 as his transformation into a vampire occurred when he was only a tiny grouping of cells." Carlisle explained to us as he told Rosslyn to go find Everett. I knew I should do it. Everett wouldn't listen to Rosslyn…

"But…The way you just said that made me think; there were always two heartbeats, Carlisle. Everett doesn't have one…" Emmett explained. Carlisle gasped. This was new news to him. Emmett and I had finally figured it out when we stopped cooing and gushing over him long enough for the room to be silent; Everett indeed didn't have a heartbeat. We didn't think too much about it though. We thought it wasn't important enough to puzzle over.

"I see that as irrelevant." I notified him.

"Oh but it is so so relevant Rosalie!" Emmett brightened hugging me close. Something was going on in his mind… He knew something.

"Two. Always Emmett?" Carlisle mused.

"Yes. Rose and I heard two the entire time." Emmett told him. I nodded in agreement.

"But Emmett, what does it help to know Ro- I mean Everett has no heartbeat." Did I really just call him Royce?! Emmett flinched. I knew how it must hurt him to know. And I hated anything that hurt Emmett. I felt my stomach lurch when I realized… Emmett would have to look upon Everett every day of forever and see Royce in his features. Emmett would have to see the spawn of my nightmares in Everett's eyes. What a terrible burden for a child to carry for the rest of existence…

"Maybe Everett's heartbeat stopped when he was born." Carlisle suggested. Emmett shook his head.

"No. No. NO. There were two that day. Two. I heard it. I heard the second heartbeat. Rosalie, I didn't… It was first. Before Rosslyn. I didn't think about it. Demetri was blocking my vision. I couldn't…" Emmett rambled.

"Emmett, spit it out." Carlisle demanded. That was very uncharacteristic of Carlisle. Emmett was trembling… I looked up to him confused.

"There's three. You weren't joking that day Rosalie. There really are three…" Emmett breathed, still lost in thought.

"What are you talking about?" I pressed.

"Three hearts. Two beating, one frozen. Everett's heart is frozen because he's Royce's kid and he was changed vampire before he was born; that's why we never knew he existed, because we could never hear his heartbeat. And there's Rosslyn. We knew he existed because we heard his heartbeat. And then there's the third heartbeat… The unfrozen heart… Emmelie." Emmett explained.

"E-Emmett?" I squeaked like a little girl and my hand flew to my stomach. I couldn't breathe all of a sudden. "You're right! You're right!" I started crying. But then the obvious hit me. If she was indeed alive, where was she?

"Maybe not… We have to think about this." Carlisle insisted.

"I'm sure Carlisle." Emmett still persisted. I didn't know why I couldn't stop crying…

Rosslyn began to whine and looked toward the door.

I felt a lurch in the pit of my stomach. Everett…. I'd acted so irrationally, banishing him from my sight with such hateful words. I still remembered the way he smiled at me. The way Everett smiled at me, was the same way Henry smiled at Vera. The way Everett smiled at me, was just a more beautiful version of how Henry smiled to Vera. Everett's eyes still held the same adoration Henry's had. His gaze held no less happiness and contentment than Henry's had, or even Rosslyn's had. Everett's gaze held something different than Henry's though. Everett's eyes contained much more love and devotion. I felt my dead heart skip a beat when I realized that after all of these years, I had finally been able to get what I wanted. I wanted that smile for so many years…

I was still Everett's mother. Just because a portion of him was the man I hated most in the entire world, doesn't make him any less mine. In my opinion just because he wasn't Emmett's, doesn't make him Royce's. Everett was mine though, and that was for certain.

Everett was all mine…

I realized that my prayers had been answered so many years ago and I didn't even know it. I got the perfect, fair haired child I'd wanted so horribly in my human life. I finally had him AND Emmett's two children. You really could get everything you want in life…
