Rose

"Rosalie, are you sure you're okay?"

Those were the exact words I had been hearing for the past month and it was driving me crazy.

I had absolutely no idea why they kept asking me that. There was nothing wrong with me.

Besides my growing weakness and sickness, nope, nothing was wrong.

It seemed that with each passing day, I was growing weaker. But I didn't think it was that noticeable, yet. But I guess I was wrong. I mean, I knew it showed at times like when I would falter mid-step or would throw up any signs of blood or food that were consumed in the last hour or maybe when I would suddenly become exhausted. But my body shouldn't have these problems; after all I was a vampire. I think.

Actually I didn't know what I was. It's like my body was adapting to accommodate my babies. I wanted blood but Emalie and Wesley didn't. Well, it seemed they did but not as much as I drink. And my body didn't want human food but they did. That's why I ended up throwing everything up, my body couldn't keep that stuff down and my children couldn't keep the blood down. It was a horrible situation.

Like I said before, it's like I'm tired, exhausted actually, but my body just won't – can't- fall asleep.

Could I really classify as a vampire anymore?

And I certainly wasn't telling anyone about my issues but they were growing worse as time passed. Eventually someone would notice that something really was wrong, specifically Carlisle and Emmett.

But at least the more time that I spent at our house, meant the more time I had to keep it a secret.

And that's just what I did. For the past month I had refused to go back to the Cullen's house after the first few weeks, in fear that they would figure it out more than they already had. Emmett hadn't wanted to go without me and that made me feel slightly guilty and very selfish. I knew he wanted to see them all again and I tried to convince him to go with out me but he was still stuck on that whole not leaving me alone plan.

But I could also tell as time flew by, that he was worried about me. I mean, more than everyone else, I knew he could just sense it. I tried to make sure I was fine whenever I was near him but I knew he could see right through me. I wondered how long he would be able to hold it all in like this. But I knew he was just respecting my wishes and not making a big deal out of everything.

It was today, in mid- April, that he finally convinced me to go back.

"So……"Emmett began as he turned towards me as I slowly ate my apple. I had taken to eating weirdly but who cared anyway? I had peeled away the skin before slicing it into even pieces. Then I diced it into small apple cubes and now I was popping them into my mouth two at a time.

"Yes…." I mocked him playfully.

"Well, I was wondering if maybe you would want to…you know, visit them." He said quietly and I stopped chewing. I knew what he really wanted. He wanted me to go so he could get Carlisle to look at me.

"Emmett, how many times have I told you, I don't want Carlisle to look at me. There is nothing wrong with me." I stated innocently but then my traitor baby had to go and kick me again as if to object my point.

"Uh-huh," He said doubtfully but continued on. "No, I meant, we haven't seen them all in so long and I thought it would be good to get together again, you know…" He trailed off to gage my reaction.

I thought about, I really did want to see the family again but I didn't want them all wasting their time worrying about me.

"But…." I didn't know how to explain this to Emmett though.

"I promise I won't take you to Carlisle, Rose." He stated and I found only honesty in his eyes.

I narrowed my eyes before sighing and nodding.

"Awesome!" He cheered and I smiled despite myself.

"Help me up?" I asked once I finished my apple squares. He came to grasp my hand with one hand and wrapped his other around my waist protectively as he pulled me up gently.

"Alright, let's go," I sighed we started our way back to our old home.

"Ah! Rose!" As the front door opened, I saw a flash of black and then I was being engulfed in a hug.

"Hello Alice," I managed out before she le go of me and looked me over for some reason.

"You've gotten fatter," She noticed and I scoffed. "Sorry, sorry just saying. I mean you are fatter than the average eight and a half-month pregnant person."

I rolled my eyes at my sister as she moved to hug Emmett and I stepped inside the familiar house.

To my surprise everyone was there. Carlisle and Esme were in the door to the kitchen, Jasper was playing some video game with Edward, Bella was seated next to Edward as she watched their game and Alice of course was going on about everything and anything.

It was my family except for one missing child that I assume to be sleeping a different room.

I received many hugs and greetings and I just realized exactly how much I had missed them all.

We sat down and talked for a while until it came up. The subject I had been pointedly avoiding.

"So, why haven't you guys come back all this time?" Jasper asked and I cringed.

"Well…."I didn't want to tell them I had wanted to avoid them so that they wouldn't worry about me.

"We've been busy," Emmett said because I had a feeling he knew I was hiding something.

"What? But she's pregnant Em…."Edward said confusedly and I knew what he was talking about but frankly, I couldn't care less what they thought.

"Oh, no not that. No…..we really have been busy with…."He looked to me for an answer and I said the first thing that came to mind.

"Cups." I said quickly before I realized that it made no sense.

"Yeah, cups. You know…they're so…useful and they have to be in the best condition to use and all…"Emmett said and they looked at us weirdly.

"I mean, who doesn't love cups?" I exclaimed and threw my hands in the air for extra effect.

"Um, I don't." Bella said strangely.

"Well you should…..oh would you all quit staring, it's uncomfortable." I murmured at them all.

"Whatever," Alice murmured and shook her head. "But since we're all here, why don't we do something? Like watch a movie! Oh, no let's play a game!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and started thinking about which one to play.

"Scrabble?"

"How about Monopoly?"

"Charades!"

"Pictionary…."

A few more were called out but Monopoly won in the end so here we are now, playing monopoly. Well, except Edward, Carlisle, and Esme. Edward insisted that he would have an unfair advantage so he just brought out the video camera and taped the whole game. I realized I kind of missed having pictures and videos being taken all the time.

We were in the middle of the game when I felt the familiar feeling of vertigo flood over me.

"Eh….I- I have to…I'll be right back…." I choked out before standing up and rushing to the nearest bathroom where I emptied my stomach of the purple liquid and I felt someone holding my hair back but I couldn't tell who.

Once I was done, I slumped against the toilet and felt someone kneel beside me to take me in their arms.

"Are you okay now?" Emmett asked my as I buried my face in his chest and felt like just falling asleep there.

Ah, but I can't sleep, remember?

"I'm fine," I said weakly.

"Are you sure…you still want to do this Rose? Look what it's doing to you…" Emmett said quietly and I scoffed. I pushed away from him forcefully and narrowed my eyes at him.

"Don't even ask me that." I said and felt the anger rise within me. "I've wanted this for as long as I can remember and now I finally get my chance, it was am miracle. And I will do everything I can to make sure these two get here safely, no matter what it does to me." I said as he scooted closer but I shrunk back and I saw hurt flash across his face.

"I didn't mean…" He started but I interrupted him.

"Yes, you did and I don't even know how you can say it." I said as I looked into his desperate eyes. "I thought you wanted this too, I thought you loved them." I murmured my anger melting away and being replaced with something resembling rejection.

"I do! I do want this and I love them with everything I have but I also love you Rose and from what it looks like your condition is worsening by the minute. I can't just sit around and watch you as you continue like this." He said and I softened up a bit. He reached out to me and I met him halfway as I leaned into him.

"I'm sorry," He said and I shook my head.

"Don't be," I said simply and quietly.

"Hey! You two okay in there?" I heard a knock on the door and Alice's voice from behind it as we stood up. I quickly flushed the toilet and watched as the purple liquid swirled around until disappearing.

"We're fine," I said as I opened the door and stepped out, followed my Emmett.

We moved back to continue the game and I was happy that I was feeling better. I wasn't about to let my health issues ruin our family night.

After we finished our game of monopoly, we decided to watch a movie and it was my pick.

"Which one? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, or The sound of music?" I asked for I honestly couldn't choose.

"The sound of Music."

"Yes, not Seven Brides for whatever."

"You made us watch that with you at least twenty times."

"Yeah, I say the Sound of Music Definitely."

"Okay, The Sound of Music it is!" I announced as they put in the DVD player and it started up. I quickly scrambled on to the sofa next to Emmett and immediately became engrossed in the musical.

It was when we were getting ready to leave when I heard it, again.

"Are you okay Rose?"

I am going to loose my mind if I ever hear those four word again.

Okay, please review and I will update the next chapter within the next two hours. I know two chapters back to back, amazing right? Yes, but I really want to get to the part we have all been waiting for by Sunday at least so I'm going as fast as I can!!
