Chapter 43

Rosalie POV

I was upset for a long time after Emmett received that phone call from Carlisle.

I wasn't sure if I would ever want to meet the person who gave me up…my birth parents.

For so long, I thought that my true mother had died by the hands of my father, a man who also abused me. I thought that I had left the past behind me, but it seemed that it just kept coming back to me.

I don't think I want to meet anymore 'parents', I think I'd rather be the adopted child whose parents were both dead.

I just wanted to move on.

But I guess that it simply wasn't an option for me.

And I hadn't made my last couple doctor's appointments.

I had started to bleed, resulting in numerous factors that Carlisle couldn't ascertain.

I was stressed, and empty feeling at the thought of meeting my birth mother…I just didn't want to see her face, and learn the reason why that she never wanted me.

I pushed everyone but Emmett away, only letting him in, and he knew the reason's why I didn't want to.

He was trying to push them away, but they kept insisting to see me and 'their future grandchild'.

I didn't want to.

I never wanted to see them, and I never asked for this.

I just want to marry Emmett, and just live a normal life with our baby.

But I feel as though the little life within me was dying, because of me.

I was poisoning my baby, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Emmett came into the bedroom, carrying a tray full of food for me to eat that morning. I was on strict bedrest, barely even being able to move without him helping me to the bathroom to use the toilet and to even shower.

I held out for the baby, even as I myself started to fade mentally.

The calls kept coming, the stress kept coming onto me.

I just wanted to tell them to disappear like they did so long ago.

I was eating myself up inside.

I ate, the food tasting bland in my mouth as I just did mechanical actions to get through the day.

"What did your father say about inducing me?" I asked, my voice rough from my sleep.

He smiled at me, leaning in closer to me, I felt a spark of life within me, and leaned forward for a kiss.

I gave him one, moaning gently as his tongue probed into my mouth. I let him in without a second thought.

His tongue graced mine, mingling as he knotted his hand through my hair.

We had been playing celibate with one another for the longest time, doing so by doctor's orders.

I found that he was the only one that sparked any life back into me.

I loved him, and I loved this baby.

"I can't wait to have a family with you." He smiled, rubbing my distended stomach, making my toes curl at his rough purr.

"Stop it." I giggled giddily.

He kissed me gently, smiling brightly.

"Have you decided what you wanted to name the baby?" I asked, kissing him again.

"I haven't thought about it yet, have you?"

I shook my head, "I haven't…I'm kind of scared, Emmett."

He kissed my lips gently, "Everything will be fine, Rose…but what are you scared of?"

I looked at him with tears in my eyes, "That neither one of us will make it, that we'll both die, and leave you all alone."

"Rose, that won't happen, you'll be fine—"

That's when I screamed, blood dripping from my body as the cramps started, and pain shot down my back, turning into lower back knots that had me crying out, both in pain and fear.

Fear that my baby would die.

This fanfiction is wrapping up (Finally! Am I right?!).

It has been a long time coming that this story would come to a close, and I want to thank all the readers, old and new, that have read this story so far. I have no reason nor excuse of why this story has taken so long to complete, but I just have to say that life has up and downs for everyone. Mine lately has been down more than up, and have been going through a lot lately—soul searching if you will. I've discovered that I suffer more when I'm not writing, and it helps even things out with my mind. It's been happening since high school with these issues, and they seem to finally to be coming to a close. I just wanted to thank you once more for reading, and that I will most likely be finishing this story in the next couple of chapters. I hope to hear your thoughts/complaints if there are any, they are welcome always.

Please stay tuned for more updates and new stories.

Thanks, always.
