Author's Notes: Takes place after drabble #3. This is set before Alice & Jasper join the Cullens. It covers Rosalie & Emmett's first wedding.
Carlisle waited patiently for Rosalie to talk, knowing better than to pressure her, for he knew she would say what was on her mind, eventually. She always did. But as the silence began to stretch, he didn't know what to think. He was aware that Rosalie had forgiven him, although not out loud, for turning her and that that was most likely because of Emmett. And he was glad because she understood how he felt about turning someone, and she respected him for it.
Still, that didn't seem to be enough for her to be completely at ease around him. Therefore, he found himself speechless at her sudden outburst.
"Would you walk me down the aisle and give me away to Emmett, Carlisle? As… my father?"
When he had seen Rosalie sit down next to him minutes ago, he had been surprised. Even knowing there was no longer resentment in between them, he hadn't expected it. After all, she'd always been skittish around them —Edward and himself— and he understood, with all that'd happened to her… he understood. And, in all honesty, as he watched her play shyly with the folds of her dress on her lap, he thought he had never been more sure of bringing her to this life—and consequently, Emmett as well.
Emmett had been a blessing, to him at least. He had done the one thing Esme and he had thought impossible. He had made Rosalie open up to them, giving her, also, a reason to live. And, Carlisle was sure, Emmett would give Rosalie all the love and adoration she deserved.
He smiled and extended his arm, reaching out to her, silently asking for a hug. Hesitantly, she smiled back, allowing him to embrace her.
"I would love to," he said, stroking her hair affectionately, as only a father would.
Because now Carlisle finally felt like he had a daughter.
