A.N Ok so I didnt get the 6 reviews but I decided to just go ahead and write this seconf one shot for Rosalie can see Emmetts Halo. It is set to the wonderful song She's always a woman by Billy Joel.
I think that this song describes Rosalie perfectly and really lets you see into her character. Hope you like it and please review and tell me what you think.
Disclaimer - As much as it bugs me, no I do not own the characters or the song. But if I did, man what I would do with the Cullen men.
She's always a woman to me.
Emmett POV
I had been at home watching the game on the tv when Bella and Edward came in. How I loved to see my little sis blush, it really was quite amusing to say the least. The only issue was Rosalie. She had thrown a mood and stomped off upstairs. Muttering about 'danger to the family' and 'selfish Edward'. I hadn't been paying much attention to be perfectly honest, I was used to these little outbursts to know that she would calm down eventually.
I watched the game for another 30 minutes before scanning the room. Rosalie wasn't to be seen
Strange, she usually comes out of her strops by this point.
Edward didn't look to bothered but his face had taken on a remorsful look. I sighed out loudly and pushed myself up out of the couch.
"Well Bells as fun as it's been, I'm gonna have to run. Catch you later" I ruffled her hair as I passed by.
As I walked the long hallway to our room. I though about Rosalie and her attitude to Bella, she had confided in me that she didn't really hate Bella but hated what she was giving up. I knew Rosalies wants and needs. She wanted a child but she needed me, she had told me that as much as she wanted children she needed me more. I admit I would love to see little Emmetts running around the place, playing football and doing amazing pranks to others, or little Roses acting like the a mini version of their mother. It made my chest swell and a huge cheesy grin break out on my face.
I knew though that it was a dream that could never happen. It was the one thing that we couldn't have. It killed me knowing that Rose put all the blame on herself, she thought that it was all down to her. I had secretly bought a small white bear once, it was in the hopes that we could adopt, I still have it hidden in the back of the closet. Rose had freaked when she saw it and made me put it away. She explained that we could not adopt a human because of the bloodlust we have.
All of a sudden all I could imagine was loving something apart from Rose so much and having it taken away from me. It nearly killed me.
Rose had her ways of protecting herself from the hurt and aggrivation of not being a mother. She had put up a facade and made others think of herself as the bitch from hell. I was the only one allowed to see the real Rose.
She made snide comments and threw looks that could kill but underneath it all she was just a scared woman, a woman whose trust and innocence were ripped from her by a man that was supposed to love her and protect her.
I loved Rose with all my heart and would protect her from whatever could or would harm her. I would one day break down the walls and let everyone else see her true character. I would show that she wasn't as mean as they perceived her to be.
She
can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin
your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she
wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a
woman to me
I walked into our room and she was sitting on our bed. Her head hung low and tearless sobs ripping through her. I looked into her hands and discovered the white bear. Her hands stroked the soft patch of fur on its stomach. Her shoulders shook. No, no this was supposed to be my thing, my secret. It wasn't for her to find out or know about.
"Rose, baby I swear I never meant you to find it. I just couldn't bin it."
She nodded her head slowly and looked up at me with sadened eyes.
"It's ok Em. I get it, you needed somthing to hold 's just I found it and I rememberd how I can't give you the one thing that both of us want. I'm never gonna get pregnant and we are never gonna have the houseful of screaming kids. We can only make do with each other."
As much as I wanted a child of our own I realised that I wanted and needed Rose more. If I had to live the rest of my life without a child then I could do it. As long as it meant that I got to stay with her forever.
I knew deep down that Roslaie felt the same as me and that she would pick me over having a strangers child.
Ohhh...
she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead
of her time
Ohhh...
and she never gives out
And she never gives in, she just changes
her mind
I knew that sometimes to hurt me she would tell me differently. Like when I we were fighting and I had made a comment about her inability to have children as a snide remark. She had thrown back at me that she would choose having a child over being with me. Later on she had taken the remark back and apologized.
And
she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll
carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll
bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on
yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me
She could hurt me as much as she wanted and I would never hurt her back. I loved her more than anything in the world. She was my everything.
"Look Rose, I don't care. I don't care that I don't have children. Why? Because I have you. You are all I need, all I want."
She smiled a breathtaking smile and stood up. She walked over to where I was standing and cupped my face in her hands. She kissed me lips very gently and pressed her forehead against mine.
"Ditto" She whispered
Ohhh...
she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead
of her time
Ohhh...
and she never gives out
And she never gives in, she just changes
her mind
I held her in my arms and started to dance with her in a circle. We slowly circled the floor keeping our heads touching. I hummed a slow tune and kissed her lips every few minutes. I wanted to keep this sweet and loving.I didn't want to have sex tonight. I just wanted to hold her protect her
She's
frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she
pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's
earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at
you,
But she's always a woman to me
"I love you Em, I love you so much"
"I know Rose and I love you as well"
Like I said I could live without the child. As long as I had her. She may be cruel,selfish and sometimes unkind to other people but that's because they don't know her. They don't see the side I see. The side that is caring, loving, smart, beautiful and protective.
Ohhh...
she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead
of her time
Ohhh...
and she never gives out
And she never gives in, she just changes
her mind
