Chapter Four – It All Starts Now
One Day Later (The day Renesmee begins her period – hence the title)
Emmett's POV
I was home alone with Renesmee today. The girls seemed hesitant about leaving her with just me, but they couldn't avoid their needs. They all were going hunting. Carlisle was a work today, and Edward and Jasper went on a trip, looking for a new car. That left me – the only one with nothing to do – to watch her.
I had some plans. Since she'd never seen a movie that was rated R yet, I planned to change that status today. We were going to watch every R move that we had. There were about twenty- hundred.
She wasn't awake yet so I tried to make her breakfast. There were cinnamon rolls on the counter. I smacked on the marble table as it said to on the directions. Well, when you're super strong, hitting something on a table isn't such a good idea. The directions said to hit is hard, so I did, rising my arm above my head and slamming it down.
The table cracked, making an enormous bang, but not before the half of the canister that hit the table broke off and flew through the window behind me. I stood there for a second, startled. I guess a little tap would've done.
Renesmee walked down the stairs from where she was sleeping in Alice's room.
"What. Did. You. Do!" She asked.
"Um, I was trying to make cinnamon rolls for you, but it kind of broke."
"What broke? The cinnamon roll can, the marble table, or the window?" She smiled and then rolled her eyes.
"Uh…. I choose D, all of the above."
"I am SO dead." She moaned.
"Why, what did you do?"
"I didn't baby sit you like I should've. Why didn't you wake me up?" She sighed.
"Because you looked like you needed sleep. Alice said to leave you alone today, no matter what happens. She also said not to leave you alone if you are sick or in pain. In that case, I take you to Carlisle."
"Well let's hope that doesn't happen. Clean this up. Now." She hissed.
"You sound like my mother." I said.
"Good, it looks like I'm going to have to be for the day. Now work while I call Esme."
"NO! Don't tell on me please!" I begged. I would be grounded from Rosalie again and I hated that!
"Too bad, I have to talk to Alice anyway." She disappeared up the stairs to go ruin my life.
NPOV
I dialed Alice's cell.
"Hello?" Alice answered.
"Hey Alice."
"Oh, good morning Nessie. How is it going?"
"So far, it looks like I have quite a day ahead of me."
"I'm so sorry that you have to go through this alone. We'll be back in a few hours, alright."
"Thanks, but it's not like that. It's just Emmett. I wish that there was a weapon that would actually hurt him." I sighed. Alice groaned.
"What did he do this time? And by the way, don't we all?"
"Yes. Can you put Esme on; I need to tell her something."
"Sure, right away. ESME!" She called away from the phone. There was a short silence.
"What did he break now?" Esme asked, annoyed.
"He was trying to make cinnamon rolls. He cracked the canister in half. The top part broke the marble table and then flew out the window." I struggled not to laugh. He was such a child.
"I'm SO, so sorry that you have to be there with him today. Don't worry about the mess; I'll clean it up later."
"No worry's Esme. I've already got him on it." I stated.
"You mean he's actually cleaning up a mess he made?" She gasped. I laughed.
"Oh, Esme, I feel so sorry for you. I don't have to live with him; at least I have another house. You are stuck with him 24-7."
"Don't worry about it. You just get some rest."
"I will. Goodbye."
"Bye Nessie." She hung up and I ran back down stairs. I was halfway down the stairs when I froze and then ran to the bathroom.
Sure enough, it was starting. I panicked, where did Rosalie put all of the stuff when she got home. There were three bathrooms in this house and one in the cottage. Luckily I still had my cell phone on me. I called Rose.
"Ness, what's up?" She answered immediately.
"Where did you put all the…. Stuff, when you got back yesterday?"
"I put some in each bathroom, including the one in the cottage. Why?"
"Are you seriously going to ask that?" I asked.
"Oh, sorry, do you want to talk to Bella?" She asked.
"No thanks, I'm fine. Sorry to bother you."
"Renesmee, don't worry about it."
"Okay, I'll call you later." I said. "Good bye."
"Bye, call if you need anything or if Emmett gets too much to handle."
"Okay." I hung up and sighed. Looking through the drawers, I finally found what I wanted. A pack of tampons; I took it out of the package and inserted it. It wasn't that uncomfortable.
I washed my hands and slowly walked out and down the stairs. I found Emmett outside, cleaning up glass pieces. He looked at me as I came out.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." I said.
"Okay, you just look freaked out."
"Nope." I shrugged, trying to compose my face.
"I'm almost done…. What is that smell?"
"What smell?" I got nervous. He looked at me.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"Emmett, I'm fine, stop freaking out, it's freaking me out." I didn't know why, but tears immediately coated my face.
"Okay, come on, I'll take you to the hospital and you can talk to Carlisle." He walked me to his car. I tried to escape, but Emmett is too strong.
"Emmett, I'm fine. Please just let go of me." I begged. He didn't answer. When we were at the hospital, I didn't move.
"Ness, please, just go see him. You are seriously freaking me out and that's not easy to do. You are WAY too pale and you don't normally cry." He sighed. I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe you're the one who needs to go see him. I'll walk myself home." I snapped. This was really unlike me.
"Um, I'll be right back." He got out of the car and called someone. Probably Carlisle or the asylum to come get me; I hoped they took him instead. He opened the door and held the phone out for me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Ness, what's wrong?" Carlisle asked. I hung up. I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now.
"What did you do that for?" Emmett asked.
"Go away." I hissed. He backed away, leaving the cell phone with me. Now what was I supposed to do? If I ran, Emmett would drag me to the hospital. If I stayed here, Carlisle would come out and get me.
I picked up the phone and called Esme.
"Emmett, what did you do?" Esme picked up the phone on the first ring.
"Um, it's Nessie." I said in a soft voice. "I don't know what to do. All I know is I'm NOT going in that hospital, but I can't see a way around it. Emmett is going to drag me in there or Carlisle is and…."
"Whoa, whoa, slow down, it'll be okay. Now, start from the beginning, what happened after you hung up with Rose?" She asked calmly.
I told her everything, choking up a few times. Once I finished, she sighed.
"Emmett, being Emmett, is very easy to trick. But if you want to do it the easy way and get it over with, walk in with him, go to Carlisle and let me talk to him. I'll clear things up."
"Thanks Esme, hang on a sec." I abruptly got out of the car and walked in. I heard Emmett following me.
"So now you decide to go in. I can't understand you." He talked some more, but I ignored him.
I found Carlisle in on of the hallways.
"Ness, what are you do…." I handed him the phone. He talked to Esme for twenty minutes before hanging up.
"Emmett, go home." He said. "Nessie can stay here with me for the day." I looked at him like he was nuts.
"Ha, told ya' something was wrong with ya'." He laughed for a second. I glared at him and he shut up.
"Emmett, be quiet. There is nothing wrong with her. I just figured that she'd be better off here than she would be at home with you. Now keep your mouth shut while I talk to Nessie." Carlisle looked at me. "If you want to go home you can, but there is a room that you can stay in here. No one will bother you."
"I'll stay here. Emmett is a pain in the neck and it'd be nice to be free." I smiled evilly at him. Emmett left and Carlisle showed me to the room he was talking about.
"It you need anything, just call me." He said, closing the door. I looked around the room. There were bean bags everywhere. There was a pile of books and magazines along one wall so I went over to see if there was anything good.
They were all okay. I found a Glamour magazine and started to read it. After a while I got bored and walked around. I made my way up to the maternity ward to look at the little babies. That was my favorite part of the hospital. After a half hour of staring at six little children do nothing, I walked back down to my room.
I opened the door to find a girl, not much younger than five, sitting on the floor.
"Um, hi." I said. She smiled at me.
"Hi."
"Who are you?" I asked, closing the door and sitting by her.
"I'm Emma."
"I'm Nessie. Why are you here?" I tried really hard not to make it insulting.
"Momma's gonna have a baby now." She smiled. "I wait here."
"Oh, congratulations." I smiled. "Is it a girl or a boy?"
"Momma says it's a boy, but I say girl! Daddy thinks it's a girl too." She smiled wider, if that was possible. "Why are you here? Is your momma gonna have a baby too?"
"No." I sighed sadly. I only wish. "My grandfather works here and I have to spend the day here."
"Where's your momma?"
"She's away with my family. On a trip."
"Oh." She got quiet for a second and then looked at me again. "You're pretty Nessie."
"Thank you Emma." I laughed. "Do you want to play something?"
"Yes. But I'm too excited." She sighed.
"Okay. I'm going to go read if you decide to play." I read for an hour, checking on Emma every five minutes. She didn't move; she just stared at the door. Finally it opened.
"Emma, come on, do you want to come see your sister?" A man asked. She sprung up and squealed.
"YES!"
I laughed so hard, so did her father.
"Nessie, it's a girl!" She screamed.
"I know, you better go so you can meet her." I said. She froze for a second – realizing that she was wasting time being excited – and then bolted out the door, sending her dad running after her.
I closed the door and sat down. I was alone for a while before Jacob called. I had just got back from changing and found my phone blaring Jake's ring tone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Nessie, are you okay? Emmett said that you were at the hospital and that Carlisle made you stay there. What happened?" The words gushed out.
"Jacob, calm down. I'm fine. I'm just staying here for the day to get away from Emmett. He's a nut case and I couldn't deal with him any longer."
"Oh, I thought that you got hurt."
"I know." I sighed. "That was quite obvious."
"Sorry. Well, if your fine, then I guess I should warn you that he also called Edward and told him the you were admitted to the hospital this morning and that you only had a few hours left." Jake whispered. I froze.
"HE DID WHAT!" I screamed.
"Um, I'll try to stop him but I don't think anything will help. Bye." He said. I just hung up. CRAP!
I ran out and into Carlisle's office.
"Hi Nessie, can I help you?" The receptionist said.
"W….where is C…." She didn't let me finish.
"He's in room 165 preparing a room for a patient." She said quickly. I nodded thanks and bolted into room 165.
"Carlisle…." I panted, out of breath.
"Nessie, what happened?" He asked.
"Emmett….told dad…..that I was….admitted and….that I only….have a few…..hours left." I gasped for air.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Edward and we can get this all straightened out. Just catch your breath."
"But….he'll find…..out."
"No, not if you keep your thoughts controlled and let me talk." He said calmly. How could he be calm at a time like this? I mean this was like the end of my life….
The door burst open and dad appeared in the room.
AN: That was a fairly long chapter. Sorry it took so long. I had to play in a concert yesterday and didn't have time. I don't know where the Emma thing came from. Please review. The more reviews and ideas, then the quicker I update. I only have three days left and then summer break starts. After that, I can only update like once or twice a month.
