Rose POV
I woke to a room engulfed in complete darkness. My supernatural vision cleared and I could focus now. I was in mine and Emmett's room and it must have been around midnight I assumed. I looked to my left and came face to face with Emmett whose face looked almost paler than usual and I wasn't sure if it was just the moonlight. I noticed he was sitting on the bed next to me holding my hand and I gave him a small reassuring smile before turning to my right. I found Carlisle there fiddling with notes on a clipboard as usual. I glanced one more time around the room to make sure no one else was lurking in the shadows or anything.
"Ah, Rosalie, I see you are awake." Carlisle looked up at me with wary eyes and I then realized how much my pregnancy was stressing him. Or my non- pregnancy, I suppose. I felt a stab at my heart as I remembered my little girl. I was wrong to think I could ever have my own little baby. I guess I was just fiddling with fate.
"Yes, I suppose I am," I whispered my voice thick with emotion. If I could cry, I would have cried a river by now.
"Oh, Rose," Emmett said as he pulled me to him and stroked my hair. I clutched his shirt in my fists as I dry- sobbed.
"I heard the news and I'm so very sorry Rose but, I have something that might help." Carlisle said and this caught my attention as I looked up at him. "Well, the blood sample that I took from you doesn't run through the tests as smoothly as human blood but I could figure out a few things. First, it is made up of venom and some blood left over from your human years. There is also the blood that you drink but I found something else. There was a foreign substance that seemed not unlike Renesmee's blood. I think, well maybe…." He trailed off as I held my breath.
"So you're saying that maybe, just maybe, that my baby girl is still there?" I asked trying not to get my hopes up but failing miserably.
"Well, yes but even if she is still there, she may be frozen in her partly developed state forever. Like the rest of us. There is that theory though that maybe her growing process is just much slower than she was before. I mean, while you were still a half- vampire, she was growing alarmingly fast, even faster than Nessie. Much faster than Nessie actually. So technically from the looks of your stomach, you are pretty much four days along whereas a human would be three months or so along." He said and I thought about the meaning of his words.
"You really think she's still there, Carlisle? You think maybe she could grow?" Emmett asked in his deep velvety voice but it was coated with worry.
"Yes I do but don't get your hopes up because I could be wrong. This is not set in stone so be careful. I only hope for the best for you two." Carlisle said and he nodded in our direction before standing up to exit the room.
Once we were alone I turned to beam at Emmett who looked down at me with a serious look on his face. My smile faltered until I noticed the corners of his mouth twitching as he fought a smile.
"Oh, Emmy we're going to have a baby!" I squealed as I threw my arms around his neck.
"Now, Rose Carlisle said not to get our hopes up." He said and he was really trying to be serious about everything and frankly, it was quite hilarious.
"Oh, stop you know you're excited." I retorted playfully as I pecked the tip of his nose.
"No, I am being mature about this situation." He said.
"No, you're trying to be mature. Your really jumping up and down inside." I said and I knew that he knew that I was right.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Emmett said as he turned away and pouted playfully. I moved myself onto his lap so that I could mold my lips to his passionately. He kissed me back with just as much passion and I wrapped my legs around his waist before briefly breaking the kiss. I looked him in the eyes and he cracked.
"Okay, yes, I'm excited and my hopes are up. I am jumping off of the walls with happiness." He said and smiled that dimpled smile before diving back in for another kiss. I smiled also because there was hope at least.
The next few hours turned into days which soon turned into weeks. All of the days seemed to run together really because I was waiting. Waiting for a sign that my little girl was growing. But nothing happened and my stomach never got any bigger. I was starting to worry again and I could tell that everyone else was also even though none of us really showed it. We just went along with life happily even if my happiness was partly fake.
Today was Nessie's birthday and Alice and Bella were going berserk with decorations. I know you wouldn't expect that from Bella but when it comes to what Renesmee wants she won't stop for anything. And Renesmee wanted a big party but the only people invited were us vampires and Jacob and Seth. Jacob was still a pain in the butt but Seth was okay. I could get past the stench for him.
"Bella, where's the cake? Wasn't it suppose to be delivered 30 minutes ago?" I heard Alice shout from upstairs. We were in the living room setting up balloons and party favors. The theme was butterflies because that was Renesmee's favorite animal. Nessie was upstairs with Esme who was cleaning her up and getting her ready for the party. I noticed that Emmett constantly snuck worried glances to me and it annoyed me to know that he thought me so weak.
"They just called and said that their delivery guy wasn't in or something so we have to go pick it up." Bella called from the garden where the cake would be.
"Ugh! Crap, crap, crap! We need someone to go get it…..Rose? Emmett?" Alice called and she was by my side in a flash with a pleading look on her face.
"Sure Alice we'll go get it. Be back soon," I called as I quickly grabbed Emmett by the hand and dragged him outside to my car before anyone else could say anything. I had to get out of that mad- house.
"You can drive," I stated and climbed into the passenger seat as he jumped in and started the car. On the way to the bakery I noticed that he stole another worried glance in my direction and I snapped.
"Emmett, could you please stop looking at me like I am going to break any second. I'm not that weak you know. I am a vampire now, indestructible just like you. That means you can stop worrying and get a new hobby." I said and when the look of hurt crossed his face, I felt like someone had slapped me in the face. "Em, I'm sorry I ddidn't mean it. I just want you to know that I am stronger than you think I am. You know I love you." I apologized sincerely.
"No it's okay Rosie. You're right I should stop beng so worrisome all of the time. But sometimes I just can't help it. I can't help being protective over my angel." He whispered as we pulled up to the bakery and I gave him a quick peck on the lips before running in to get the cake.
"Thank you and come again soon." The store clerk said as he watched me leave and I knew he was staring at my bottom. I was obviously pregnant and showing but he still had the nerve to flirt with me. And I had wedding bands on my fingers, seriously. I felt like gagging in disgust as I walked back out to the car where Emmett was leaning against the hood. And he looked very attractive as he did so might I say.
"Come on let's get back before I kill that guy in there." He said as we both climbed into the convertible and I set the cake in the backseat. He started the car and then I felt it. I felt the little nudge in my stomach. I gasped and lightly put my hand there to make sure that this was really happening.
"What is it?" Emmett urged.
I just shook my head as the baby kicked a bit more at the sound of his voice. "Emmett….she's there. She's kicking," I said in disbelief.
"May I…." He asked unsurely and I rolled my eyes and grasped his had gently. I placed it on my stomach and the baby started kicking again under his touch.
"Em, it seems our little girl loves your touch just as much as I do," I whispered in awe. He seemed to be surprised also and I watched as a smile lit up his beautiful face. It seemed that his happiness was contagious and I couldn't help but smile back. We were going to be a family.
It seemed that the clouds of vampirism had cleared a bit and it shone a bit of light on her little head. I guess I could give her the sunshine that she needed and so could Emmett. I was complete now.
After a few moments, we finally decided that Alice would kill us if we didn't have the cake back on time so we began the drive home. The whole way we were both grinning like two idiots and I'm sure I was practically glowing.
When we arrived back I completely forgot about the cake as I raced into the house. The doors slammed open and everyone turned to look at me with puzzled expressions.
"Rose, where have you been? We need that cake-" Alice started but she was cut off by my announcement. Edward who already knew was grinning as big as I was and I nodded to him .
"She's there, My little baby is there!" I screamed in happiness to anyone who listened.
