Bella has a face-off with Rosalie and drops some unexpected news

I walk into the livingroom at the Cullen house and immediately Rosalie gets up and walks out of the room. Emmet looks apologetically at me and I shrug and sit down beside him. Edward and Jasper are hunting and Carlisle is in his office doing some kind of work… the rest I don't really know. Lately, I have been bothered by Rosalie's attitude towards me, why does she hate me so much?

"Emmet..." I start quietly and he quirks an eyebrow. "Is Rosalie still in hearing range?" I ask and he sighs and shakes his head as he starts playing the game again.

"No, she decided to go hunting." He says and I nod a little and then I rest my head against his shoulder. "You know it isn't personal, right?" He asks and I nod again.

"I know she just wants to protect her family but I would have thought that after I went to… the Volturi to get Edward she should have understood by now that I will do anything to protect all of you." I say and he sighs deeply and pauses the game and turns to look seriously at me. Wait, Emmet, serius? What is going on?

"It's not that Bella, at first it was, but now when she has truly seen that you are Edward's mate she understands." He says and I quirk an eyebrow at him.

"Then how could it not be personal? Is it my scent? That I would understand but I didn't think Rosalie would have any difficulty-" I get interrupted by Rosalie bursting in through the door. Emmet looks almost as surprised as I imagine I do.

"Bella, you are throwing your life away! You want to become this cold, unchanging thing when you could be wonderfully warm and human! You will be missing so much!" She yells at me as she walks closer to the couch, slightly crouched. "I would give anything to be human again, Bella!" She ads and I sigh and look frustrated at her.

"What is so damn great about being a human? Being fragile, clumsy, close to death, growing older and weaker, being slow, not being able to be forever with the one you love?" I ask and she closes in further on me and suddenly Edward is right in front of me in a protective crouch.

"Rose." He growls and I sigh.

"Butt out Edward, she won't hurt me. We are discussing, not fighting." I say as I push gently at his shoulder and to my surprise he moves. He must have seen that Rosalie wasn't going to hurt me, besides he doesn't want me to become a vampire so this might help him.

"No Bella! The wonderful thing is being able to grow old, to live a normal life, to eat and love and most of all give birth to a child! How can you give the opportunity to a child away, Bella?!" She yells and I stare at her with my mouth open. The tense silence falls heavy over the room. I feel my anger, frustration, and pain building up and suddenly I'm right up in her face, yelling.

"How the hell would you know if I were able to carry a child right now, Rosalie! I'm incapable of getting pregnant! I haven't exactly felt the need to bring it up since it wouldn't matter but I have nothing else then Edward in my life. I just want to spend eternity with Edward and our family. I don't mind being human but I can't be human and be together with Edward! Would you honestly choose being human and infertile over being a vampire with Emmet?" I yell and everyone stares stunned at me. All the vampires have come into the room during mine and Rosalie's yelling match. I turn around and run up the stairs, into Edward's room and crawl up on the couch as I wrap a blanket around me. Dammit! I didn't want them to know I'm infertile, I don't want to talk about it and now they will want to know the story behind it. There is a light knock on the door and I tell them to come in… it's Carlisle. No surprise there.

"Bella…" He breathes with concern laced in his voice.

"Please don't pity me." I say quietly. He nods and walks over to me and sits down next to me and wraps his arms around me. He lifts me up in his lap and rocks me gently as I begin to sob and then he rests his head on top of mine.

"Tell me why, Bella." He says gently and I sigh.

"Do I have too?" I whine and he nods slightly. I take a deep breath. "When I was ten and was walking home from school I was attacked. There were five men and they all raped me and the damages to my uterus were too great and I had a lot of internal bleeding from when they beat and kicked me. The doctors decided it was best to remove the uterus and then just give me normal hormones so I would go through puberty normally except that I wouldn't get my period." I say and I hear him growling quietly and take a few deep breaths.

"Did they catch them?" He asks with a strained tone and I shake my head. He sighs deeply and hugs me tighter.

"I WILL KILL THEM!" I hear Emmet yell downstairs, probably debating with someone. I smile slightly, then I sigh and shake my head.

"You seem to have a lively discussion." I mumble as I hear several booms and crashes downstairs. It instantly quiets down and then they walk slowly in through the door to Edward's room. They all look filled with rage and like they want revenge. Edward gathers me from Carlisle's arms and holds me tightly as he sits down on the couch and kisses my forehead gently.

"Bella, we will find them and kill them." Jasper says in an icy voice that makes me shiver involuntarily. He smiles slightly at my reaction and then he goes back to his lethal expression.

"What's the point? It won't become undone, although, it would be good to know they couldn't do it to anyone else." I mumble, mostly for myself and they all freeze.

"You're not going to tell us not to and that it would be immoral and such?" Emmet asks confused and I smile slightly.

"I don't really see a difference, you kill animals for blood so why wouldn't you get to kill those guys? Although, I wouldn't want you to drink their blood." I say and he looks confused and then he smirks slightly.

"Too dangerous with us drinking from humans?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Too disgusting to have their blood inside you." I say and shudder, to my surprise they start chuckling.

"Just to be clear, you don't mind us killing them, but you don't want us to drink their blood because they are disgusting creatures?" Jasper asks, slightly amused but still deadly serious. I nod and he smirks slightly and leaves the room.
