Emmett
It's been a month since the accident. Today by myself I was meeting up with my actual parents. We still haven't talked since I found out. Rosalie practically begged on her knees to come. But she couldn't. I needed to this by myself, I needed answers, and I wanted them now. Just when the waiter came and gave me a glass of water I saw Esme and Carlisle walk in.
I stiffened in my seat. Now I kind of wish Rosalie came with me. I felt a yearn for her small hands tugging in mind, Her mumbling that everything was going to be fine in my ear.
They sat down across from me and Carlisle made an awkward grunt.
"Hi can I get you two…anything?"
"Oh no thanks" Carlisle said.
But Esme answered "Martini" The waiter smiled and went to make her drink.
We sat there in silence for a good while "So" Carlisle started.
"Wait…Emmett I know we're the last people on earth that is on your 'Awesome list' but I am so sorry. I really am…if I had known what had happened I would come get you in a heartbeat. We tried our best to find you our whole lives and the day i saw you at the office to discuss your CEO position. I made sure I would get the name they had given you. My son was finally here." Esme a few tears sliding down her cheeks. "I never stopped looking for you…I never stopped loving you…not a day goes by that I hate myself for what I did"
"Why didn't you just tell me the first day you saw me" My voice cracked and I looked up at the ceiling to keep from having a tear come out from some place.
"I couldn't tell you. Not there. It was all about timing. I knew I would see you again so I kept it to myself"
"Emmett…I understand. Remember what we talked about that day on the beach?"
"You said it was half true"
"Half true because as soon as I met Esme…I lost my way as well. Yes she saw something in me that I didn't see…but not until after we got our lives were together"
"But your okay now, Your all recovered" I spat at him.
Esme gasped in shock "How could you say that? Ever since you came into my life I have never been recovered. There was always a part missing from me"
"You gave me up" I leaned in to her.
She leaned in across the table towards me "I. Am. Sorry" More tears forming in her eyes "Don't you see how much I hate myself fro everything I did to you. My own son has been beaten, torn apart…" She paused to control her voice since it was breaking fast "My baby boy that I gave birth to has been hurt and tormented every second and god knows what else" She wiped her tears but they kept forming.
The waiter came back with our drinks and by the look of my face he left expeditiously.
"Please forgive us"
Rebellion suited me well. I was wrong…I couldn't forgive them. I can't do this…This isn't the old Emmett. This was just the new Emmett who couldn't have a new spot to forgive. I had to get out of here. I felt like they were suffocating me.
"No…I "And with that I just ignored them and left, Nowhere unparticular. I stopped right in front of a vacant park. A tear slipped down my face and then another one. I quickly swiped them away. Everyone was wrong. No matter how big or tough you look everyone has a sweet weak spot. This was definitely it.
Suddenly an old couple walked up to a bench. Both were same height. They sat down and kissed each other on the lips. Hold on a minute they looked familiar.
"Mr. Rogers" I said getting out of the car. Mr. Rogers turned over and looked at me. When I was 13 I use to come over his gardening shop all the time.
"Well I'll be" He smiled "Edna you remember Emmett" Edna turned around slowly with a big smile plastered upon her face. Then she frowned.
"Child what's the matter?"
"What?" I said.
Mr. Rogers stood up and walked over to me slowly "Are you alright son"
I faked a smiled "Yes…" I trialed off, But then images after images popped in my head and I looked down "No"
Edna patted a seat right next to her "You know…I'm not getting any older. Come sit down tell me what happened"
I sat down in the middle of them and explained everything. About my parents being alcoholics and drug users when I was born. How I met their family and Rosalie. I told them about Tanya and what happened a month ago.
When I was done I let out a sigh of relief. I felt relaxed but still felt sad and betrayed
Mrs. Rogers laughed to herself "Ah, you young ones. You know no matter how young you are life is too short. People think that just because their young that you have so many years left but that not true. Honey, anything can happen. Of course I'm not saying anything is going to happen to you but…you never know. I mean think about it Emmett. These are your parents. You said it yourself you've been looking for them…why are you regretting it now. Why not forgive them now? What's holding you back?"
What the hell? She was right…what was blocking me before I could answer she answered for me.
"Rebellion honey is one of the worst things to be. Horrible demon" She said and spat on the ground.
"Emmett I think you have so much more to give than you give yourself credit for. I can already tell you this girl Rosalie sure has some affect on you"
"Young love" Mrs. Rogers said "I remember when I met you, Adam"
He snorted "Don't I remember…That was hard enough just looking at her"
I laughed "I need to forgive them"
"Nooo" Mrs. Rogers said sarcastically.
Suddenly Mr. Rogers watch went off "Oh no…we have to see Lucy"
"Lucy?"
"Our daughter…she's coming to visit us today" Mrs. Rogers answered.
I snorted "You guys must be one perfect"
Mr. Rogers laughed and helped his wife up "don't let our old looks fool you. It wasn't always this handy dandy. Our daughter use to deal drugs"
I gasped "Whoa didn't see that coming"
"Yeah but just think. If we hadn't forgiven her a long time ago…we wouldn't be this happy that we are now."
"It was nice seeing you again Emmett…you know my shops still open. Whenever you would like to come by and visit that's alright with me" As soon as Mr. Rogers said that he left with his wife by his side.
I watched them fade into the fog of the afternoon. It was really misty out here today. I got in my car and thought about my next destination. Once I knew what I had to do I drive?
I knocked on the door and Esme answered "I am sorry mom…You did what you could and I didn't give you enough credit, I'm sorry I was mean to you, and I'm-She cut me off.
"No…it was me baby it was all me" She gave me a hug and for the first time I really felt home and warm. Suddenly I heard her sniffs and I felt the tears starting to form in my eyes as well.
4 years later…
I walked into my baby's room and picked her up from her crib. "What's the matter monkey" I said kissing her cheek. I wiped her tears away from her eyes.
Rosalie came in the room with just her silky robe. "Is momma's baby okay"
Hailey immediately stopped crying to the sound of her mother's voice. Rosalie took Hailey out of my hands and brushed her hair softly.
"Mom always has the special touch "She nuzzled on the baby's nose.
I smiled "Whatever she still looks like me" Rosalie sent me a glare and stuck her tongue out at me. She couldn't say anything because it was true. Hailey Lynn McCarty looked just like her daddy.
"What time is it Hun" She asked me.
I stared at my watch "9:30. Oh we got to get ready to go. The family should be at the restaurant in like an hour"
She handed me Hailey and she relaxed quietly in my arms. "Ready to see your family again? Huh? Want to see Grandma and Grandpa?" I smelled her fresh baby oil smell and kissed her on the temple. I rubbed soothing circles behind her back which caused her eyelids to flutter shut.
"Guess you're not the only one with the touch"
"Oh shut up. Hey you remember when we first met" She smiled at me and gave me a kiss.
I snorted "Do I…you couldn't stop staring at this beauty" I said while changing Hailey's diaper.
Rosalie wrapped her arms around me from behind "You're so cocky…Oh and remember when we were in that meadow with Alice and everyone"
I smiled to myself "We started talking about skies"
"I still would love to just live in the sky" She laughed. We went into Hailey's room and Rosalie dressed her when she was don she put her in the play bin and we headed upstairs to change.
"But most of all do you remember what I had told you if I were to live in the sky?" She asked.
I took her by the waist "Of course I do. You said I would always be your angel"
She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me softly on the lips. I picked her up so she wouldn't have to stand on her tippy toes "Always…and forever"
