I remember when Emmett and I were married for the third time we were off in Paris for our honeymoon and I told him that I wanted a human baby. He had winced. He hated not being able to give me everything I wanted. This was the only thing that Emmett could never share with me was children. I remember we talked about a human baby seriously considering it… We had long ago overcome the uncontrollable bloodlust all vampires have. I had never drunk human blood. The last human he'd killed was in 1949. We both thought the idea was splendid so when we returned we begged Carlisle and Esme. Esme wanted me to have a child so terribly but she and Carlisle had still rejected mine and Emmett's pleading. I remember that night, November the thirteenth 1981. Emmett and I were something else in the eighties. He did look very handsome in leather pants. He said my huge teased hair and wild tight neon leggings were super sexy. I loved the eighties. It was the best years of my life… Carlisle had snuck into mine and Emmett's room and taken us into the night to the hospital where he worked. I remember like it was yesterday, the first night that was the beginning of the best years of my life.
"Rosalie, Emmett, I have something for you." Carlisle smiled the moonlight from the open window causing his skin to look silver. Emmett sprung from our intimate position on the sofa and took my hand following Carlisle into the night.
"Where are we going Carlisle?" Emmett asked impatient, just like a traveling child, as we ran under the beautiful stars. I wasn't paying attention to anything just gazing up at Emmett marveling at his beauty. He smiled down at me then turned back to running.
"You'll see." Carlisle eyed us carefully and sighed quietly a gentle smile on his lips as we rounded a corner and we had to slow to a human speed walk. Emmett was getting impatient. He began humming the melody to a Def Lepperd song running his fingers through his hair and looking up at the stars. He showed me the one he bought me. He had named it Rosalie. That was romantic… Carlisle stopped us in front of the hospital and I was confused.
"What are-?" Emmett began but Carlisle silenced him. He gave Emmett a small square key. Emmett looked confused back to Carlisle and took my hand. I melted at his touch. Carlisle led us through the sliding glass doors and we stepped into the brightly lit, even in the odd hours of the night, hospital lobby. The desk secretary lady smiled warmly at us and Carlisle nodded politely.
"Go on. I'll meet you at the place on Emmett's key." He whispered. I wondered why on earth Carlisle was playing a riddle on us. We weren't five years old or anything. We don't want to play treasure hunt games anymore. I caught my reflection in the shiny marble floor and fixed my hair quickly.
"Come on, you're beautiful. Let's go on a scavenger hunt Rose." Emmett smiled and tugged at my hand and led me closer to the elevators. He looked down at the label on his key. It said ICU 3519. We stepped onto a thankfully empty elevator and followed the key's directions down a long hallway. Emmett and I skipped and played down the long bright hallway laughing. We stopped in front of the correct door Emmett shoved the key into the keyhole. He turned the doorknob slowly looking at me like we were in a horror movie about to walk into the haunted house.
"Rose… If we die here. I want you to know… I love you." He gave me a passionate hug and kissed me quickly. I smacked him playfully on the shoulder and laughed as he swung the door open jumping over the threshold like he was in a James Bond movie. I giggled at him and followed him in. Our eyes caught it at the exact same moment.
