I pulled myself from my memories clutching my knees to my chest in a tight ball. The sobs shook my body but after a moment I took a deep breath and Emmett walked in. He couldn't stand to hear my cries anymore. He wrapped me into his arms cradling me to his chest. He knew what I was crying about. He knew I wanted Rosslyn. It was the only thing that could make me cry like this. I never thought of Rosslyn when Edward was around. Neither did Emmett. We kept Rosslyn to ourselves. We didn't want Bella to know. We didn't want to bring it back up. We didn't want to forget him, but we sure didn't want to give Edward a reason to talk about him…

I know I did treat Bella harshly. But it was only my cold exterior that I had rebuilt even stronger after Rosslyn that refused to let me open up to her. It wasn't anything against Bella, I was just protecting my icy heart. I was hard and cold, because without that shell, I was nothing but a weak, vulnerable little girl. I had this hardness and rigid exterior to the world around me because I didn't want to show my hurting. I didn't want to show weakness. I told Emmett about Bella and Edward. He didn't seem surprised. He just nodded and kept trailing his fingers across my skin. He wound his arms around my tiny waist and pulled me closer.

I would help Bella with her own baby. I would make it up to her for all the time I've spent being cold and harsh to her. I smiled back to Emmett. He grinned to me and stroked my cheek softly. I let my mind wander through Rosslyn's laughs. Rosslyn's smiles. Rosslyn's voice. Rosslyn's every moment. I smiled. I'd never really understood the mysterious bond of mother and child. But, it was so strong. Stronger than any bond in the universe. This bond required your life for another's. I'd understood that this was true, but I never really understood why. Why would someone give their life for someone else? I didn't understand any of that, until I met Rosslyn. Bella would feel the same. The bond between herself and the beautiful baby that was growing inside of her the new bond, it could never break. Bella would love every moment of her baby's life. Bella would be a wonderful mother. She would savor every second. Every laugh. Every smile. Everything. I would smile and watch as she enjoyed the feeling of being a mother. Every bursting of your heart every time you saw your baby, your angel, smile up at you. Every thudding of your growing heart when you heard them say I love you.

"Emmett, you have to help me..." I begged. I needed him to help, I needed him to side with me, Edward would rip me to shreds, but he wouldn't even be able to touch Emmett. Even with Edward's mind reading ability, Emmett could rip Edward to shreds with his eyes closed.

"Of course?" He said sounding more like a question. Emmett was just so clueless sometimes.

"Bella's having a baby." I paused letting that sink in his head for a moment. I was surprised. He didn't look shocked.

"Sweet. A miniature blushing red faced, accident prone, danger magnet, little Edward." He grinned. Just leave it to Emmett to make a joke out of this. I smacked him on the head. "Rooooooooossse." He whined. "Well what do you want me to say?" He asked.

"Don't say anything!" I snapped. I immediately felt guilty. I always felt guilty whenever I snapped at Emmett. It was right up there on my list of don'ts by boiling Prada shoes. You just don't do it. I felt horrible looking at him after I snapped at him. Snapping at Emmett was like snapping at a child that didn't know any better. It feels like an abuse of power. Scolding Emmett is the worst feeling in the world. I don't know how Esme and Carlisle do it... They always scold Emmett for something; whether it be wrestling in the house, breaking something, so on a so forth. I tried to keep my eyes down, but it didn't work. It was like a magnet that pulled my eyes to him. He was just looking at me expressionless. As soon as I met his big amber eyes, I immediately threw my arms around his waist. "Em. I'm so sorry darling." I whispered.

"Rose, sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. I knew you wouldn't want me to let someone else have what you want so terribly. And then on top of that, me be happy for them... I should have kept my mouth shut. I know how much you want a baby Rosalie. I know how much you loved Rosslyn. I hate not being able to give you everything in the entire world. If you wanted me to bring the moon down from the sky, I would do it for you Rose. You know that right?" He tilted my chin up with his fingertips. I nodded. I knew that. I've always known that. He wouldn do anything for me.

"Emmett, I need you to help me keep Edward away from Bella." I said cutting to the point. His eyes widened and he laughed hysterically.

"You know keeping Edward away from Bella is like trying to keep the moon from orbiting the Earth. It's like trying to take rain away from a flower. It's like trying to keep the sun from shining. It's like... trying to keep me away from you. It's impossible." He said and stroked my cheek. Emmett does have a very poetic mind, he just didn't use it all the time like Edward does. Edward recites philosphies for life all day every day. I swore he bled poetry when he was a human. I smiled and leaned into his touch.

"That one was good Emmett. Write it down." I smiled.

"Thanks." He winked.

"But No Emmett, I don't mean keep them apart like that, I mean you have to keep Edward away from the baby." I said

"What? Why?" He asked confused.

"Because,.... you remember those legends?" I asked my voice getting quieter. I hoped he didn't notice, but it was Emmett we were talking about here... He noticed everything, when he was standing still long enough to pay attention that is.

"Yes, not detailed, but Yeah." He answered. His eyes widened in realization. He tensed. "Oh... that's why. Edward doesn't want Bella to... die..." He gulped loudly.

"Yes, they've gotten Carlisle on their side too. I know Carlisle, and I know, that he would knock her out with drugs and kill the baby right now if Edward begged him to for Bella's life." I explained. "That's where you and I come in, You keep Edward away from ripping me to shreds when he finds out I am going to help Bella to have the baby no matter what. Okay?" I asked. As if I needed to ask. Of course he would help me.

"Can do. Promise." He vowed. "Is Bella really going to die Rosalie?" He asked whispering now.

"I don't know..." I admitted.

"You would do the same thing if it were you?" He asked as if he already knew the answer. He knew me better than I knew myself. I didn't know the answer. I was too selfish for my own life. I would have screamed a no before Rosslyn, but now... I wasn't sure. Would I give my life for a baby half Emmett half me growing inside of me? Would I die?

"I... I.... Yeah." I whispered. "Yes I would." I paused. He didn't say anything. He just nodded his eyes far away.

"Emmett," I started.

"Mmmmhhmmmm?" He mumbled wrapping his arms around my waist tighter.

"You would do the same thing as Edward? You'd kill it to save me even if it wasn't what I wanted?" I asked. I didn't know the answer to this question...

"I.... I... Rose," He was conflicted. "I don't know. I want to give you everything you ever want, but, I couldn't live one day without you so... I don't know. " He admitted. "Poor Edward..." Emmett smiled half heartedly. Again leave it to Emmett to joke about the choice of life or death. We sat there in each others arms silence for maybe and hour, maybe more...

"I love you Emmett." I whispered and laced my arms around him. "You know, you were right. You do have a thing about angels." I smiled. He smiled back knowing exactly who I was referring to. He seemed glad to talk about him because we never did any more… "Edward and Bella's baby is going to have the best guardian angel."

"Yes it will. Rosslyn." He grinned and kissed me quickly. I looked out the window and begged God to let Bella's baby whoever it may be, whatever it will be, to have Rosslyn as its guardian angel…
