It has been two weeks since we got back from our holiday trip and we each began our new set of classes. I was taking speech, math, creative writing, Psychology II, and economics. The algebra I could really do without but other than that I liked my other courses.
Alice was avoiding me like the plague it seems. She never once has allowed us to be alone so she would be able to tell me the story about this ex-boyfriend of hers and Jasper refused to tell Edward anything without Alice's consent. They didn't seem to be worried or anything but the whole thing stank to high heaven if you ask me. Jasper paid for two nights stay at our hotel for a non-existent person and hacked into CU's database. Who the hell was this ex that Alice was working so hard with Jasper to avoid?
The whole Emmett and Rosalie situation was and is still going strong. The day after we arrived in Seattle, Rosalie and Emmett went to her parent's house to deliver the news. Emmett described it as a glimpse of hell when Rosalie told us what happened.
-Rosalie's story-
We were sitting in our living room on the couch after Rosalie and Emmett returned to the apartment from her parent's house. Emmett had his arm around Rosalie as she recounted what had happen.
"We pulled up to my parent's house and I was freaking out," she said and Emmett grabbed her knee stroking it lightly with his thumb.
"She was," Emmett interrupted, "I thought she was going to have a seizure or something, she was shaking so bad."
"Thank you, Emmett," Rosalie said narrowing her eyes at him, "That makes me feel so much better."
"Oh come on Rosie," Emmett pleaded, "I calmed you down, didn't I?"
Rosalie blushed smirking then composed her face to continue with their story. I could only imagine what Emmett did to calm her down and frankly the mental slap I gave myself to kick all those thoughts away came way too late in my opinion.
Edward tightened his hold around my waist and began rubbing little circles on my exposed skin as Rosalie continued, "We got up to the door and I was about to put my key in the door when the door flung open and my Uncle Nick was standing there holding the door."
Emmett chuckled in a low tone, "That man is a fucking weirdo of you ask me."
"Yeah, well, at least that fucking weirdo didn't find our news as a bad thing," Rosalie hissed.
"I'm just saying that he was weird not that I didn't like him," Emmett defended. "It's not everyday you find a guy who drinks like a fish and asks you what position you used to get his niece pregnant. He's a very… open guy."
Jasper and Edward were laughing. "What position did you tell him?" Jasper asked and Alice slapped his arm for even asking.
"Oh I told him it was doggie style followed by some sidewise action," Emmett said grinning, his booming laughter resonating in the room. "and he's like 'I've always found that the woman standing on her head worked the best but if you got the boys who can swim the more power to you'."
Edward and Jasper were having hysterics and Rosalie slapped Emmett upside the head. "Ok, so my Uncle is a perverted alcoholic," Rosalie hissed, "We get it." Rosalie turned back toward us, "He is not normally welcome in our home but he promised to only stay one night and then go. My parent's can't stand him. My mother hates to even admit that they are related."
"Did he seriously ask that question in front of her parents?" I asked.
"No," Emmett said grinning, "He asked me that after her parents sent me to the other room so they could talk to Rose alone."
"So anyway back to the story," Rosalie said, "Uncle Nick was at the door and let us both in. My parent's were in their living room reading when we walked in. They greeted us as if everything was normal and I was kind of thankful that they didn't know yet."
"Yeah but Nick ruined that pretty quick," Emmett said.
"Why?" Alice asked, "What did he do?"
"He came into the room not long after we got settled on the couch and said 'You know you look very familiar. You look like that guy who proposed to his girl on New Year's,'" Emmett said, "and at that point I knew, we were totally fucked."
"My parent's started muttering about the youth today and sneered and then my brilliant uncle says, 'You know his girl looked just like you Rosie.' I just about died," Rosalie said covering her face with her hands.
"Her parent's went ape shit after they put two and two together and noticed her ring," Emmett said rubbing Rosalie's arm. "Her mom was hysterical saying that she's too young and 'what would the neighbors think?' while her dad was yelling at me about values and abstinence. Then Nick dropped the big bomb, 'Yeah and congrats on the baby, by the way'. Her dad stood up and told me to get the hell out of the room. Yelling something about the boys today can't keep their dick in their pants."
"My parents ranted and raved about how this was going to look and how could I do this to them," Rosalie said resting her head on Emmett's shoulder.
"Yeah and that wasn't the worst part," Emmett said holding her tight against his chest. "Before we left they said, 'I'll call Jones and maybe we can work something out'."
Jasper, Edward, Alice and I had confused looks on our faces. Jones was Rosalie's OB what would they need to work out? The payments?
Rosalie's eyes started to well up with tears and hid her face in between Emmett's neck and shoulder. Emmett rubbed her back and stroked her hair, "They want her to get rid of our baby," he said through clenched teeth.
"No," Alice and I gasped. Edward and Jasper froze not knowing what to say.
"Yeah, but the thing is that it's our decision not theirs," Emmett said, "Rose is 19 and has the right to keep it without her parents approval and it's not like I can't support our family. If her parents are too narrow minded to accept our family then to hell with them."
Rosalie lifted her head, her face was drenched with tears and she kissed Emmett lightly on the cheek. "I love you," she whispered.
"Me too," he said rubbing her belly.
-Back to present day-
Rosalie and Emmett never even tried to make contact with her parents after that. Her mother called everyday for a week leaving messages saying that Jones was being difficult and she was going to see if they could find someone else to fix this. Rosalie couldn't take it anymore and she took Emmett with her to change her phone number.
I just couldn't get over how her parents were reacting. I never thought that they would be this unreasonable. How can they be so worried about appearances if they go around looking for a doctor to abort their adult daughter's baby? I think that is a thousand times worse than their daughter getting pregnant and engaged within her first 6 months of college.
Emmett insisted that he come to her doctor visits to make sure that Jones didn't try anything funny since he was a family friend and all. Jones did mention his conversation with her parents and said that it was entirely Rosalie's decision and further more because she was in her second trimester he couldn't abort the baby anyway. This reassured Rosalie and Emmett that Jones was trustworthy.
I was walking back to my apartment after my last class of the day and was ready for a nice hot bath when I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I looked up shocked and was instantly filled with glee after I saw that it was Edward. I quickly turned wrapping my arms around his neck and kissed him. We pulled away for air hesitantly, "What are you doing here? I thought you had class," I said grinning up at him playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.
"Class was cancelled," he grinned kissing the tip of my nose, "My professor has the flu and the TA just gave us some reading to do for the next class."
"That's great news," I grinned kissing his jaw.
He lowered his head and kissed me passionately breaking away slowly, "My parents called and they want to have dinner with all of us."
"Oh? What is your mom making?"
"I think fajitas," he said as he nuzzled my neck.
"Mmmm," I moaned, "That sounds good."
"Come on, let's go drop off your stuff and get your swimming suit," he said letting me go and taking my hand as we walked to my apartment.
"Swimming suit?" I asked with one eyebrow raised.
"Yeah," he grinned, "We are going to use the hot tub after dinner. It can seat eight, but I think I remembered Rosalie say something like she can't use one when you're pregnant."
Their hot tub is outside though. "But it's cold outside and I think it is supposed to snow," I said looking up at the sky.
"I take it you have never been in a hot tub while it snows?" he smiled.
"No," I said, "Isn't it cold?"
"Only when you get out but that will only lasts a minute or two till you get inside," he said opening the door to my apartment building. "Emmett actually likes to go rolling in the snow afterwards." I giggle thinking of Emmett rolling in the snow with only his swimming trunks on.
We reached my floor and walked over to my apartment when Edward and I heard raised voices emitting from behind the door. "I don't know…I don't know what to do." One of the voices said it sounded kind of like Jasper's. "We covered everything that we could think of."
"But what could we have missed?" a voice that sounded like Alice's asked.
"I don't know," Jasper said, "The only thing I can think of is maybe he contacted your parents somehow and asked them."
"Well, shit," Alice exclaimed, "Wasn't that time and money well wasted."
"Baby, I know you're frustrated and I'm here for you but I think that this was inevitable," Jasper said in a soothing tone.
Edward and I looked at each other worry in both our eyes. Whatever they had been trying to avoid obviously caught up with them. Edward took my key to my apartment and quickly unlocked the door. We had to know what was going on and we weren't going to let them squirm out of it this time.
A/N: Well I hope you liked it. Review and let me know what you think.
