Chapter 3
Rosalie's POV
I pulled the oversize designer sunglasses off my face and onto my head.
"What? I thought we talked about this... We planned it together!" I practically yelled to Emmett as he rocked Olivia to sleep. It was noon and she needed to go down to a nap. This was the only time in the 3 days we had her that she wouldn't go to sleep. Maybe it was becuase she was excited to go on a plane to Isle Esme and see the beach. She had never been to the beach. She had never been out of Forks.
"Shhhh...Rosalie keep your voice down. Hang on I'll put her in the crib" Emmett said softy as I saw Olivia's eyelids starting to close. I sat down on our bed even though it had never been slept in. Emmett walked in with his hands in his pockets
"I'm sorry I just...I don't understand we have the tickets and everything. I can't just cancel now. Olivia wants to go. What am I supposed to tell her Daddy doesn't want to go?" I asked Emmett trying to avoid his large,sad eyes.
"Rose, she was taken away from her parents, moved into a new house, met a new family, and now go on a vacation all in the same 3 days. Talk about a hard change of surrondings. I just want to give her some stability, at least for now." Emmett said sitting down on the bed next to me. "What do you think about going in like a week or two?" I paused, thinking. I hated to admit when other people were right, especially when Emmett was right.
"Okay." I said softly grabbing his hand.
"Okay." Emmett replied kissing the top of my head and smoothing out my hair. Olivia started to cry in her room. Well it was her room temporaily. Emmett and I were planning on buying a cottage about a mile from here. It did not at all resemble Edward and Bella's however it was a little..bigger. Ok, a LOT bigger.
"I'll get Olivia just stay here. We need to talk." Emmett said rushing out of the room. That was what I love about Emmett no matter what horrible things I had just said to him he forgave me. He loved me for me no matter how rude I was. Oh, listen to me I am almost reciting a line from a cheesy love novel. My cell phone rang Edward was calling.
"What can I do for you? Please make it fast." I told him over the phone standing up beginning brush my long, wavy blonde hair.
"I just wanted to remind you I can hear everything you're thinking. It's quite amusing actually." Edward explained laughing.
"Shut up Edward. Was this the only reason you called? Or was there something else?" I questioned, clearly annoyed. Emmett walked into our room with Olivia in his arms.
"No, no that was it I just wanted to let you know."
"Okay this was pointless so goodbye." I said picking up Olivia who was crawling into my arms.
"I'll be listening." He added, then hung up.
"Who was it Mama?" Olivia asked me playing with my recently brushed hair.
"It was just Uncle Edward being stupid. I said tucking my hair behind my ears.
"So let's all talk." Emmett said playing with stuffed monkey Olivia hadn't let go of.
"What we gonna talk about daddy?" Olivia said letting the monkey go. Of course she'd let it go for Emmett but not for anyone else. She was such a Daddy's girl.
"We are not going to the beach today. We decided to stay here." Emmett explained giving her back her the monkey.
"Is Renesme going to be here?" Olivia asked not looking up.
"We can invite her over. You two can play all day long." I said combing her hair with my fingers. She pulled away. I guess I had to learn that not everyone valued thier hair as much as my own.
"Can we call her now?" Olivia asked running her hands through my hair now.
"We can after our nappy-nap." Emmett said scooping her up.
"Mommy you need to come too!" Olivia yelled holding out her hand."Hold my hand Momma!"
"Ok,I'm grabbing your hand." I grabbed her little fingers. I wasn't used to holding someones hand that wasn't ice cold. Emmett already explained why our hands were so cold all the time. We hadn't told her we were Vampires just in case she went around telling people. We hadn't left the house since she had been here. Perhaps that was why I was so excited to go to Isle Esme and spend the week just the 3 of us.
Once Emmett put her in the crib and
turned out the lights.
"Hey, we haven't been out in a few
days. I can ask Esme to babysit. We can go out and shop or just
drive around."
"I don't know I have to wash all of Olivia's clothes. Maybe we can online shop. We really need more clothes for her. And the stores are going to be insane with Christmas tomorrow and all."
"I just thought we needed to get out. I'm sure Alice can handle all the shopping." Emmett said pulling my waist closer to him. He kissed me lightly on the lips and grabbed to laundry basket.
"Here I'll help." I said begininng to fold the one-sies for Olivia.
"No Rose I want you to get out for a few hours. Go do something with Alice or Bella. Have fun." Emmett suggested to me. I thought about it. Going somewhere with Alice and Bella wouldn't be so bad. Bella could bring Renesme and the two little girls could ride in strollers and play with Olivia's monkey. Now I was considering it. Although a day with them usually didn't sound so appealing, it for some reason did now.
"Maybe I'll give them a call."
