So….I hope you like it.

Rose POV

I stared, unblinking and motionless, as I watched the dark clouds roll overhead, threatening to spill at any moment. I heard thunder growling ominously and I closed my eyes as I gently placed my hand against the cold glass before me.

I was standing immobile in the foyer of our house as I awaited Emmett's return from his hunt. He had been reluctant to leave me here alone, but I had convinced him I was fine so he eventually gave in and left earlier this morning.

I hadn't done much while he was gone; there wasn't much a pregnant woman who was a little over eleven months could do honestly.

And now, the daylight was slowly fading from the sky, leaving a dim darkness in its path as I stood anxiously in front of the window. A storm was rolling closer also and I so wished he was here with me, I hated thunderstorms and to be honest, the thunder and the eerily silence of the house coalesced into a fear that was subtly taking over my mind.

He'll be back soon, just stop worrying, I thought to myself and I pulled my hand away from the glass and walked back to the living room. I gingerly took a seat on the sofa and picked up a book from the end table, trying to distract myself.

At least I had my two soon to come angels resting inside me. I absentmindedly placed my hand over my stomach and cracked small strained smile that turned into a grimace at the force of the kick.

Emalie and Wesley had grown in the past months and now they were certainly cramped in there. I still sported those oh so lovely bruises on my stomach, and I had broken a few more ribs in the meantime, but I didn't care. Emmett worried about me, but I told him it was fine, I could deal with pain as long as I could have my two babies. Carlisle had even told me that I was bound to pop anytime now, and the anticipation had been killing me for the past few weeks.

I was pulled from my thoughts by another crack of thunder and a second later a blinding flash of lightning that lit up the whole room for a moment. I shuddered and turned on the television and the lights before sitting back down again, glad to have some noise in the house even if I had no idea what was on. Some reality show. Lovely.

But the television was the last of my worries right now. Where was Emmett?

He should have been back by now, and I wondered briefly if something had happened to him. No….no. I wouldn't think about that, I couldn't. He just…..lost track of time probably. Or stopped at the main house to see the family quickly. Or was on his way right now.

I wrapped my arms around myself, accommodating my large stomach. I would just have to wait, I told myself as I tried to be patient and focused vaguely on the show that was currently on.

It was a few moments later when I heard the faint footsteps in the distance and I knew it was him. I stood quickly from the couch and moved to go towards the door when I heard it before I felt it.

A deafening crack sounded loudly and then a ear splitting scream rang out into the air and it took me a minute to realize it was mine.

And then I felt the excruciating pain that overtook my figure and I doubled over clutching my stomach. I screamed again as I felt a strong kick and I shrunk down to the floor as I moaned.

"Rose? Rosalie, what is it? What's wrong? What hurts?" I heard that deep voice I knew too well ask from beside me and I opened my eyes briefly to see Emmett kneeled in front of me looking concerned and frantic.

"Emmett….they….they're c-coming….."I choked out as I felt a sharp pain stab at my stomach. The unnecessary breath was flowing from me in shallow gasps and I felt like my insides were being ripped out. Emalie and Wesley had decided now was the time to come and were ripping me apart at the seams.

"Who…..oh. Oh! Rose, honey, just…..I'm…I'll get Carlisle," He said stumbling over his words and I could hear the panic in his voice. I vaguely heard him talking rapidly on the phone but I was so far gone in the pain that I didn't register much.

I yelped when another crack sounded and I wasn't even sure what bone was broken now.

"Rosie!"

"It-It hurts…Emmett…." I whimpered faintly before the pain was just too much too bear and everything went black.

Emmett POV

"Rose? Rose!" I said frantically but she didn't answer me. God, she was in so much pain…

"Emmett?"

I vaguely registered Carlisle's voice behind me and turned wildly to look at him.

"Carlisle help her!" I said urgently as he came over quickly and I noticed that Edward had tagged along, to help probably.

"It's worse than I thought it would be…" He murmured as he examined her and it was all I could do not to yell at him to do something. My rose was in pain and I hated it. "You'll have to bring her back to the house, Emmett."

"But I can't move her when she's like this!"

"It's the only way now the quicker the better, they're already trying to rip their way out." He stated and I cringed but picked her up gingerly anyway.

As we ran back to the house, I looked down at her angelic face and grimaced when I saw that it was contorted in pain.

"It's okay, you're strong, and we can handle this." I said softly to her even though she was unconscious.

"Bring her up." Carlisle instructed and I brought her upstairs quickly and into his office where the makeshift bed was. I set her down and suddenly I saw her body jolt and she screamed but didn't wake up. I felt a pierce at my heart as I heard that sound escape her lips.

"Carlisle….." I said but he was already working and I sat by Rosalie's bed, just holding her hand and being there for her. I didn't know what else to do, I didn't know a thing about delivering babies let alone vampire ones that were ripping they're way out of her. I felt useless as I stared at her pain stricken face and wished that I could do something, anything that would make it go away.

"They broke so many ribs…." Carlisle muttered as he worked and I winced. I faintly smelled blood but it was masked by multiple other scents so it didn't bother me much, but when I chanced a look at her stomach, all I could see was blood.

I turned away feeling queasy but I had to be strong. For Rose.

I heard another crack, and I jumped slightly at the sound and noticed that her body jolted at the impact of the kick.

"What happened?" I asked frantically looking to Carlisle.

"Another bone…might have even been her back though I'm not sure." He said and continued on with what he was doing and I faintly noticed Esme enter quietly to stand near Carlisle.

And then I heard it.

The cry that made all of my distress and pain disappear for a split second.

"Wesley….." I said and my voice cracked as I saw Carlisle hand him to Esme quickly. She wrapped him a small blue blanket before moving over to where I sat.

"Can I…..can I hold him?" I asked her and she smiled before gingerly handing over my son. My son. I cradled him in my arms and as I gazed into his little face , scrunched up as he wailed, I would have cried if I could have.

I couldn't describe the feeling that overtook me as I looked down at this little mixture of Rose and I. His large violet eyes looked back at me and he was beautiful. That was the only way to describe this little wonder in my arms.

"Emalie," I heard Carlisle say and I was pulled from my trance as I watched as Esme took my little girl and again wrapped her in a soft pink blanket.

"She's beautiful Emmett. They both are." Esme said as she looked at my daughter before bringing her for me to see.

And she was beautiful, angelic even, much like her mother.

"Emmett….." I heard a soft moan and I turned around to look at Rosalie and saw her eyes opening slightly. "...I want to…..to…can I s-see them?" She managed out as her eyes tried to focus on us but the pain was too much for her and I watched in horror as they rolled back in her head as she let out another moan.

"Emmett! She…something's wrong!" Carlisle said obviously frustrated and worried and I looked at him.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked as the panic crept its way up my throat again. What was wrong with Rosalie?

I handed Wesley reluctantly but quickly to Alice who had quietly entered the office a few moments ago.

I jumped up and raced over to where Carlisle was, already worried.

"What happened?"

Something failed…..I don't know what but you have to bite her again, get the venom in her or else she might….." He didn't finish the sentence but I cringed at the thought. I hurriedly moved back over to the side of her bed and I hated the sight of my Rosalie like this. She was sprawled out, lying limp and nearly lifeless upon the cot. Carlisle was still working on her stomach as I bent down slowly and grasped her hand in mine.

"I love you Rosalie," I murmured before I hesitantly bent down to her neck and I bit slightly. I stood again quickly as her body convulsed, from the venom I supposed.

"Her wrist, bite her wrist, it'll flow through faster." Carlisle said as he sealed up her stomach with his venom and I mutely brought her hand up to my lips. I kissed her wrist quickly before biting it softly. I felt her hand stiffen in mine as the fire raced through her, spreading itself out.

She screamed again and I got down on my knees as I gripped her hand tighter.

"Is she going to be okay?" I asked Carlisle without looking away from her.

"The venom seems to be spreading so in three days she should be a full fledged vampire again."

"Oh," Was all I could say.

He covered her with a blanket quickly and was about to slip from the room when I stopped him.

"Carlisle…..thank you." I said to him and I looked up to see him smiling.

He nodded before exiting the room, leaving me and Rose alone.

And then I waited, not quite sure if it was all over yet.

Rose

I felt the familiar fire racing throughout my veins and I writhed with pain. I faintly felt a hand grasping mine and I knew whose it was immediately.

The pain coursed through me consistently and I endured it all, screaming sometimes but I tried to be strong. I had to be strong if I wanted it to end.

And then finally, after forever and a day, the fire seemed to withdraw slowly from my fingertips and toes, centering around my heart now. I felt my back arch upwards as it became so intense it hurt to think but then as it reached its climax and my scream echo around the room, it disappeared. I stopped moving completely, my body falling limp, onto the cot I was lying on. I felt the hands holding mine tighten and I faintly heard that deep voice I knew too well.

"Rosie?" He asked and it took me a moment to open my eyes. I looked around the room, the figures and shapes were blurry before they focused. "Rosalie?"

I looked at him and felt the smile that lit up my face and before I knew what I was doing, I had leaped up and threw myself into him. I planted kisses all over his face before finally getting to his mouth where he responded equally. I had missed him, in my short absence from the world and it felt better than good to be back in his arms again.

He pulled away after a moment and I buried my face in the crook of his neck as he stroked my hair.

"Rose…." He said softly and I smiled.

"I missed you." I said as I pulled away to look at him.

"I was so worried about you….." He said as he re ran his hand though his hair nervously and I frowned a bit, hating that I worried him. "I missed you too."

We sat there for a few moments in a comfortable silence before he spoke again.

"Did you want to see them?" He asked me and I nodded frantically as I remembered that they were finally here. I glanced down at my now flat stomach and couldn't help the feeling of loss that they were no longer there inside of me. But now they were here which was even better.

He led me from Carlisle's office and we sped down the stairs, eager to see the twins. I noticed Jasper and Edward in the living room before they noticed me.

"Oh, I'm fine thank you for asking, your concern astounds me." I said loudly and the both whipped around to look at me. Edward rolled his eyes and I chuckled, glad to be back.

But I wondered where Emalie and Wesley were…..? What if something had happened to them?

"They're at your house," Edward answered my question for me.

"Oh," I said and sighed in relief as I grasped Emmett's hand before turning to leave. I ached to meet the twins and know they were safe and well. I had to see them, see for myself.

I said goodbye to Jasper and Eddie boy before taking off in a run towards our house, Emmett keeping up easily next to me. I felt the familiar exhilaration as I ran and realized I had missed this.

"Ah….I missed this…." I said and Emmett chuckled.

We reached the house quickly and I practically knocked the door down in my haste to see them. I ran up the stairs and into a small figure.

"Alice!"

"Rose! I hoped you were okay," She said as she hugged me briefly. "Come see them, their adorable!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me into Emalie's room, Emmett trailing behind us silently.

As I stepped into the yellow room, I walked slowly over to the white crib and gasped at the small figure lying in it. She was beautiful. Her soft dark curls, the dimples in her cheeks, her big violet eyes. My eyes.

I gingerly picked her up and cradled the little baby in my arms as I cooed.

"Rose," I heard Emmett behind me and I turned to see that Alice had quietly slipped from the room and Emmett was standing there holding who I assumed to be Wesley. I noticed with a double take that he looked exactly like Emmett. He had Emmett's curls, dimples, nose, mouth, aura. I smiled when I saw that he too had my violet eyes though.

"My little nudger," I whispered as I gently stroked his little cheek earning a small squeal in response.

I knew what we looked like at that moment. A family. One that was complete for once. Emmett, me, Emalie, and Wesley. We were a family. They were our children. All ours.

The concept was hard to grasp, I mean, I had all of my lifelong dreams standing in front of me. That's pretty hard to process, if I do say so myself.

"They're ours, Em," I said, my voice choked up with the happiness and love I was feeling.

"I know," He said and I could hear the joy in his voice as we stood, our small family put together at last and I smiled.

I, Rosalie Hale, had everything she had ever wanted and more. What more could I ask for?

I hope it was good enough even though it was a bit rushed in my opinion...but anyhoo reveiw and tell me what you think!
