Sorry it took so long everyone, but I was really sick and then had some writer's block so I have been trying to get this story done. I will try to have the rest soon for you.

The Surprise

Emmett's POV

God damn it where is Rosalie! Jasper was driving as fast as the car would go while I was dialing my cell phone again and again. First Rosalie's cell phone, then the house, then Alice's phone, then Edward… over and over again I would dial let it ring and then slam my finger down on the end button when the answering machine would pick up. The final time that I rammed my finger down in rage the cell phone broke in two.

"Fuck!" I seethed. "Jasper give me your phone."

"Em, we're almost there." He stated and I could feel him trying to calm me with his supernatural ability to control emotion. It calmed me for a couple of seconds.

I was really worried about Rose, my sweet, sweet Rose. She was supposed to meet us in Seattle three hours ago. At first I made up excuses about why she wasn't there, she had decided to change, she had decided to get gas, but eventually everything I came up with didn't fit. I knew she had been depressed lately, she wanted a baby so badly, the one thing I couldn't give her. I could buy her anything she wanted, take her anywhere, but the one thing in the world I couldn't give her was her deepest desire. When Nessie had been born it had been a dream come true for Rose, she played out her fantasy of being a mother and she was incredibly happy. Lately though, Nessie had been getting bigger and needing Auntie Rose less and less and slowly Rose's wonderful light had started to dim. She wasn't herself. When they had visited the Amazon, Rose had searched and searched for an answer, any answer, but we had both come up with nothing. Then a couple of nights ago, after watching an action movie on TV, Rose and I had gone up to our room, she had started to kiss me passionately and I had started to get hot, really hot. And then, out of nowhere, Rose had stopped, sat down dejectedly and buried her face in her hands, if I didn't know better, I would have thought she was crying. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms. We sat in silence for hours just holding each other, knowing what the issue was without speaking and then in the wee hours of the morning, Rose turned to me, and said, "I'm sorry Em." I hugged her tight.

I would never thought of Rose as a depressive person but in the last couple of months that assumption had wavered a bit. I couldn't say for sure that she wouldn't hurt herself now, not that she necessarily could, but knowing my Rose, she'd find a way.

"Jasper, how much longer?!"

"We're two minutes away Emmett" Jasper looked at me and gave me a half smile, knowing that that two minutes would kill me.

When he finally manoeuvred the car down the driveway I wanted to jump from the frame and sprint to the house, it would probably be faster. When the house came into view I could see why no one had answered the phone, everyone was outside the house, at the edge of the forest near the river. Bella, Esme and Alice were standing in a huddle talking at each other. Jacob was sitting on the forest floor; Nessie holding a white rag to his shoulder, the rag was covered in blood. Edward was in front of the women talking calmly at something on the other side of the river. I jumped down from the car and moved toward Edward trying to get a better look at who he was talking to.

"Emmett, thank God, she won't listen to me, please talk to her" Edward pleaded with me.

I looked across the river and there hunched down in an attack position guarding a basket at her feet was my Rose. She looked wild, crazy even, glancing from person to person waiting for the first person to strike.

Ed, what's going on? I whispered in my head, knowing that he would hear me. Not believing what my eyes where telling me.

"Rose, she won't let us near her, wouldn't let us even talk to her. She found, well, she found a baby Emmett. A human baby and she says she's keeping him, she's attacking anyone who is trying to make her see reason."

"She's gone crazy is the problem!" Jacob, the mutt, yelled.

I turned around, marching towards him. When he was at my feet I growled at him in fury, "What did you say dog?!" Jasper had come up behind me, trying to calm me to prevent murder.

Jacob looked up at me, "Emmett, she's outta her mind, you need to get that baby before she kills it."

"Dog, if I wanted your opinion I'd ask for it. And if you say she is crazy one more time I will rip you apart!" I walked away from him and back to Edward.

Edward, what do I say to her? She wants a baby more then anything in the world. I look at him with pain in my eyes, not knowing how to get through this.

"Just reason with her Emmett. You have to make her see how impossible this would be."

I sighed, and looked towards the love of my life. "Rosie" I called. She looked at me with her wild eyes. "Rosie, I am coming over there to talk to you, just to talk." I started to walk toward her. Once I reached the edge of the water I leapt over the water and landed on the opposite side. Rose's attention was centred on me; she was watching me warily as I got closer to her and the basket.

I put my hands up in a non-threatening way. "Rose hunny, tell me what's going on."

"They don't want me to keep him Emmett; they think I would hurt him. That pup even tried to take him away from me, but I won't let them. He's mine Em. He's ours."

"Rose, he's human." I looked into the basket; the baby was asleep in the blankets, his little cheek resting against his hand. The baby was adorable, rosy cheeks, blond hair, so tiny he would probably fit into the palm of my hand.

"Emmett it's not like that. I won't hurt him; he is the most important thing I have now besides you. When I smell him I don't smell the blood but a beautiful baby boy. When I look at him I see my baby. God brought him to me. See the note." She handed me the piece of folded paper and I read. 'Please take care of my little boy Daniel' I looked up at her. Her eyes were wide, pleading with me.

"Please Em." She whispered.

I sighed. "Alright Rose. We'll keep him."

She rushed at me, "Danny, his name is Danny."

"Danny" I whispered. I look over at the basket again. I took a breath, bracing myself against the thirst. The taste was sweet, just like any other blood I had inhaled in the past. My throat burned and my body tensed. I gulped again and the smell permeated my senses again, the burning got stronger. I gulped again and again hoping that I would have the same reaction that Rose was having, not wanting to attack the boy that would be my son, but each breath I took in it got worst. I looked at Rose, hoping that her strength would transfer over to me but each breath was still burning down my throat. Damn it! I chastised myself, I needed to be strong. I growled at my reaction. Rose looked up at me wearily with wide eyes, ready to protect her baby. At the same moment, my reaction had awoken the baby abruptly. He looked up at us, first at Rose and then at me. His face was curious and then the most beautiful smile broke out on his face. I was astonished. A wave of paternal emotion hit me and the breath that I took at that moment was cool instead of red hot. I took another breath and the thirst was almost entirely quenched. I looked at Rose again with amazement on my face and she smiled up at me.

"Come on, let's take our son home" She picked up the baby, and I gather her by my side. We leapt over the river together in a fluid motion. Once we were on the other side Edward walked towards us with concern on his face. Leave off Ed. It's done. He shook his head at me as I walked by. I looked away from him, towards the women. In the time I had been talking to Rose, Carlisle had joined the family from work. He looked at me the way a father looked at his son, worry and confusion emerging from his stare.

Carlisle stepped forward and addressed us. "Emmett. Rosalie. I think we need to have a family meeting."
