Chapter 11: Two Year Later

Rosalie sighed as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Humming softly she was putting the finishing touches on dinner. Rubbing her hands together, she let out a deep breath. She looked up when the door opened. "Mommy!" Maggie called to her mother.

"I'm in here sweetheart," Rosalie replied smiling.

The two-year-old ran into the room wrapping her tiny arms around her mother's legs. "How was the park baby?" Rosalie asked lifting her daughter up.

"Yeah," Maggie replied smiling.

"Yeah she had fun, she really enjoyed the garage," Emmett commented.

"Emmett…" Rosalie sighed.
"What? The garage was backed up I had to help," he answered going to kiss her.

"Oh no! You're covered in grease I don't think so," Rosalie told him.

Emmett laughed before he went to take a shower. "Hey, babe, what are you doing Thursday?" he called from the bathroom.

"Packing for mine and Alice's Paris trip remember?" Rosalie asked.

"Right, but are you free for dinner?" he asked.

"Sure, I guess the three of us can go to dinner," Rosalie replied as she went into the bathroom to get the clothes that were on the floor.

Emmett peeked his head out from the curtain to look at her. "Rosie, I was meaning just the two of us," he told her. Rosalie looked at him, her violet eyes locking with his blue eyes.

"Sure, I'll ask Erica if she can baby sit," she replied.

Emmett grinned as he disappeared behind the shower curtain again. "Don't worry about it Rose, ma happily volunteered," he informed.

"She doesn't have to," she answered.

"Please, mom adores her and you know it," he pointed out.

Rosalie smiled a little before leaving the bathroom.

When Emmett got out of the shower, he walked into his and Rosalie's room with a towel around his waist. Walking over to the nightstand, he pulled out a black, velvet box. Opening it, he pulled out the ring that laid inside. It was a 1.2 carat diamond ring shaped into a flower on a 14 karat white gold band. Hearing her walk down the hall, he quickly put the ring back into the box, and put the box back into the nightstand.

"I swear Emmett sometimes I don't know who goes through clothes faster, you or Maggie," she commented as she put the laundry basket on the bed.

"Hey, my defense babe, most of my clothes are my work uniforms," he answered.

Rosalie smiled a little as he pulled on a pair of boxer briefs and jeans, but kept his time on finding a shirt. Walking up behind him, she wrapped her arms around him, resting her forehead against his back. Smiling, he moved his hands over hers. "Whatcha thinking about?" he asked, kissing the back of her hand.

"How lucky I truly am," she replied.

Emmett smiled as he turned around. "Actually, I think it's me who's lucky," he answered. Pulling her close, he pressed his lips gently against hers. Smiling against his lips, she rested her hand on the back of his neck as she kissed him back.

"Ucky!" they heard Maggie exclaim.

"Ucky?" Emmett asked after pulling away.

"That's ucky," the toddler insisted.

The two-year-old let out a shriek when Emmett started chasing her. "Don't break anything!" Rosalie called out.

Emmett grabbed the little girl around her waist, swinging her up into his arms, smothering her in kisses while the little girl was giggling like crazy. "Dop daddy!" she insisted.

"Stop huh?" he asked.

"Yeth," she replied.

Chuckling, he kissed her forehead before setting her down on the floor again. "Here, how about putting this on before we eat?" Rosalie suggest, tossing him a shirt. Still grinning, Emmett pulled on his shirt before moving his fingers through his hair.

"Let's eat Mags," Emmett told the little girl as he lifted her up off the floor again carrying her into the dining room.

Rosalie smiled as she followed them.

When Thursday came around, Emmett was standing in his Rosalie's room letting out a deep breath as he was trying to fix his jacket. Rosalie came out of the bathroom wearing black high heels, a black spaghetti strapped dress, and her hair was pinned back from her face. She was putting in a pair of diamond earrings he gave her for her birthday. "Why so fancy tonight?" she asked curiously.

"I want to take my girl out for a special dinner," he replied as he finished fixing his tie.

Turning around the air left his lungs while his eyes moved up and down her body. "You look…wow…" he murmured.

"Not too much?" she asked.

"No way," he replied.

He grabbed her hand pulling her close. "Absolutely not," he added. Rosalie smiled.

"This is different, seeing you all dressed up like this way," she commented.

"I used to," he answered.

"Really?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, hey before I became an auto mechanic I tried the paper pushing stuff," he replied letting her go.

He chuckled a little. "If you want to talk about boring ass jobs, there's the winner," he added laughing. Rosalie laughed at the mental picture of Emmett doodling on papers during a meeting. "Ready babe?" he asked.

"Yep," she replied.

She grabbed her purse off the bed and they left.

As they were lead to their table, Emmett pulled Rosalie's chair out for her. "Well this is a new side to Emmett Cullen I don't see often," she commented.

"I have my moments," he answered, kissing her cheek before sitting across from her.

Rosalie smiled as they looked over their menus. "So…Emmett, what exactly was this "paper pushing" job you had?" she asked.

"I worked at my grandmother's law firm. Hence why she talks highly of lawyers and all that and tried to talk me into going to law school," he replied.

"Now that'd be an interesting profession for you," she commented.

Emmett shrugged. "I'm not much into courtrooms and everything. Boring as hell to sit in a room from seven in the morning to eight in the evening," he answered.

"Yea, I can see how that can be frustrating," she murmured, "have you ever regretted not getting some kind of bigger degree or something?"

Suddenly, her boyfriend reached across the table holding her small hand in his, his thumb moving of her wrist. "Why should I regret any of my decisions? If I regretted my career choice, it would mean I regret meeting you and Maggie," he answered honestly.

"Even when I was a total bitch when we first met?" she asked smiling a little.

"Babe, I wasn't exactly Prince Charming during that first meeting," he replied laughing a little.

She smiled a little. Emmett smiled as he leaned across the table, pressing his lips against hers. She kissed him back, her hand resting on the side of his neck.

During the dinner, Rosalie noticed that Emmett was acting really nervous about something. "Everything okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, yeah everything's fine Rosie," he assured her.

He let out a deep breath. "I have something to talk to you about," he told her.

"Okay…" she answered slowly.

Emmett closed his eyes for a second. "To be honest, Beautiful, I never thought I would ever meet a girl like you. I was a partier, didn't care about anything," he told her. Rosalie nodded her head slowly. "Then you and Maggie came into my life and everything changed for the better of course. I never thought this would happen to me," he added. Letting out a deep breath he got up from his chair, he moved to her side of the table and crouched down in front of her.

Rosalie's heart stopped and her eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my God," she whispered. Emmett held her left hand between his hands.

"I love you more than anything in this world. You and Maggie are my whole world and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you both happy," he told her.

Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the box, opening it. "Rosalie Lillian Swan, will you do me the honor and the privilege of becoming my wife?" he asked. Rosalie swallowed hard, nodding her head slowly.

"Of course I'll marry you," she replied smiling.

"Yes!" he exclaimed jumping up, making her laugh as he pulled her out of her chair, hugging her tight.

He lifted her up off the floor swinging her around once before setting her back down on the floor. "This woman wants to marry me!" he announced to anyone who would listen. Rosalie was laughing with tears in her eyes before he took her hand and slipped the ring onto her finger. Smiling, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

"I love you," she told him.

Emmett held her close to him. "I love you Rosalie, more than anything in this world," he replied. Pulling back, he kissed her deeply. She kissed him back happily while everyone in the restaurant who had witnessed such a scene clapped for the newly engaged couple.
