A/N: Starts when Rosalie and Renesmee went outside, just in case that's not clear.

RPOV (Rosalie)

I walked behind Renesmee over towards the set of benches by the edge of the trees. I could hear Carlisle starting to apologize to Bella, but I quickly tuned it out. I didn't want to split my focus from Renesmee.

She was so obviously Edward and Bella's daughter and I was trying so hard not to be jealous. I really was. Bella got exactly what she wanted, plus what I always wanted. Even with all of my beauty and luck in finding Emmett, I still found myself envying Bella. It was utterly ridiculous.

But… she got a baby. She got a daughter and she is beautiful and immortal.

Maybe you only get a few breaks in your lifetime and she got luckier than me.

She didn't even want children. She just wanted Edward. It was truly unbelievable that she, of all people, should get all the things she wanted, plus what I wanted. Fate was truly unfair.

And it wasn't just the fact that she got a baby; it was the fact that Renesmee wasn't a baby anymore. She was full-grown, nothing short of an eternal teenager, and I missed it. We all missed her growing up. We missed the cute baby stage and the terrifying toddler stage and all the other childhood experiences that would have passed too quickly, even if they weren't accelerated. I could take some solace in the fact that Edward missed all of these moments as well, but the fact that I missed them because he decided to leave her seemed to rattle my temper.

I'm going to kill him.

"I'm really okay, Aunt Rosalie."

Okay, I'm not as mad now. She called me 'Aunt Rosalie.' She thought of me as her aunt and while it was true in our completely crazy vampire coven/family unit thing, it still made me feel completely thrilled that she thought of me that way after only knowing me for a few hours.

"They didn't mean to infer that you intended to hurt Bella. They know it wasn't like that. I know it wasn't like that. As completely foreign as this is to us, we know that it was the only way for you to be born; to survive." I sat next to Renesmee and rubbed her back trying to soothe her.

She sniffled and looked into the trees. "I know. Mom always said that you all would be curious as to how I existed. I just… I don't want them to think badly of me, or you to think badly of me."

I lifted her chin up so I could look into her beautiful eyes. "Renesmee, we do not think badly of you; not at all. We… are completely surprised that you exist, absolutely. But there is no way that any of us think that you are anything short of extraordinary. I can already tell that Carlisle and Jasper are insanely curious and delighted to meet you. Emmett is about ready to tackle you into a hug. Esme can barely contain her motherly excitement and I'm assuming that you already know that Alice is excited since you met her earlier." She nodded with a smile. "And I… I'm just so happy you're here and that you seem to like us so much."

Honestly, I was just happy she liked me. There was no reason for her not to like everyone else; but me…?

If Bella ever had a chance to get revenge for me making her life with us anything but easy, then she could easily tell Renesmee all about how I acted towards her. She could easily make Renesmee hate me if she wanted to.

"Of course, I like you all. I love you all! I've wanted to meet you all for nearly sixteen years. I have a picture of you all by my bed. I've gotten Mom to tell me things about all of you since I realized you all existed."

"And what did your Mom say about all of us?" Again, all I really wanted to know was what she said about me. I couldn't picture her saying anything negative about anyone else, even Edward and Jasper. But me? Yeah, I wasn't convinced.

"She said that Grandpa's a doctor and that he's one of the most compassionate people she's ever met. She said that he risks everything to help people and that he's more human than most of her former friends."

That sounded like Carlisle. It was a pretty accurate description, actually. I nodded for her to continue.

"She said Grandma would love me instantly and that she was one of the most motherly people on the planet. Whenever we watched those old Nick at Nite TV shows where the moms are homemakers and cook constantly, she would compare them to her. She said Grandma made them look negligent."

I laughed at her comparison. I could imagine Esme giving June Clever a run for her money. And I could absolutely see how Bella saw her that way. Esme always liked taking care of Bella when she was around. Bella was the only one she could cook for and actually be a mom for; the rest of us were grown and had been that way for years.

"She said Uncle Emmett is a jokester. That he loves to play pranks and tell bad jokes and that he is just a big kid."

"Yes, my husband is that." Her description put it mildly. Emmett lived to play pranks and he told horrendous jokes, usually at others' expense and about their sexual habits. He was also the biggest man-child that I had ever met and it just made me love him even more. He knew how to keep me calm with his humor when I would otherwise try to kill him. It was honestly a wonder I had never ripped his arm off for making some of the comments he did.

"She also said that he gives the best hugs. And that because he's so scary looking people never bother you or try to push their luck around you. She said that he's a protector and the best big brother that she could ever want."

It was obvious that Bella missed Emmett from her description. Just as he missed her.

"She said that Uncle Jasper is quiet and reserved, but that once you get to know him, you know he's just as playful as Emmett and as smart Dad. Mom said that he reads emotions and can change them if he wants; that it's his power. She said that it makes him more in tune with people though. That he is more caring and personable because of it. She said he thinks he's the weak link, but he's more like the backbone because he supports everyone emotionally; whether he uses his power or not."

Wow, Bella didn't tell her did she? I was fairly certain that Bella hadn't told Renesmee that Jasper had attacked her and while I totally understood why she wouldn't, I was just as shocked that she didn't. I would understand if she wanted them to not be around each other. I mean Renesmee had blood in her veins and although she didn't smell like our prey, she so obviously could be. I wouldn't hold it against her, but then again, this was Bella. Bella never saw us for the monsters we were. She never blamed Jasper and she was probably the only one who didn't.

"Mom likes to call me 'mini-Alice.'"

"Really?" I said laughing.

"Yeah, she says I'm just like her. I'm totally into clothes and fashion. I love shopping and if I could get my Mom to go more often, I totally would go everyday. She says I meddle, too; that both Aunt Alice and I can't keep ourselves out of other's business. She never gets mad at me, probably because it reminds her of Alice and I know she misses her, but still, I get scolded."

"How do you meddle?"

She took a deep breath. "Usually, I just end up interacting with kids at school; trying to set up people or give them advice, but Mom usually only scolds me when it has to do with her. Like this morning, she got a little irritated with me." She laughed. "I wanted her to wear a nicer top, but she refused. If Dad hadn't shown up, I was going to suggest a different top to try and sway her, but I got too excited, and ultimately distracted."

Yup, she definitely took after Alice. It was ironic since she had never met her till today, but still.

I wasn't blonde enough to not realize who was next; me.

I was a tiny bit nervous that she wouldn't have anything nice to say, or maybe only say the same thing about my beauty and name that she had said before. Maybe Bella didn't have anything else nice to say about me; if anything at all.

Renesmee grabbed my hand and held it. "Mom says you're fiercely loyal and protective over the family; that you would do anything to guard them from someone learning their secret."

Here it comes… I braced myself for the horror.

"She says that you don't show it to everyone, but you care more about them than even they realize. That you pretend to be strong and cold sometimes because that's how people see you and you just go along with it to protect your heart. She said that you are completely different from Uncle Emmett. That when he's child-like and goofy, you're mature and serious; that you compliment each other. She said that you two are crazier than Alice and Jasper and that you're really entertaining."

I thought back to the times that Bella had spent with our family. I had maybe said ten words to her all that time and most of it was in stale greetings. I never liked her, but not because it was her, but because she was putting herself in danger and wanted to give up her perfectly great human life for something she knew nothing about. She had no idea what kind of life this was. Sure, we had each other and that made it significantly better but it was still not a life I would wish for. I couldn't understand why she did.

I couldn't believe she wouldn't say anything negative about me; how I had acted towards her. I wouldn't have been so kind. But, again, this was Bella; Bella was kind.

I sat there grasping Renesmee's hand looking at her with, what I was sure was, shock all over my face. "You okay, Aunt Rose?"

It took me a few seconds, but I recovered. "Yes, yes, I'm perfectly fine. I'm just… kind of touched that your mother would speak so highly of all of us; especially me."

"Why?"

I was fairly sure that she had not told Renesmee about Jasper, which led me to believe she probably hadn't told her about Edward leaving her as well. At least, not to the extent. That he clearly broke her heart.

I couldn't bring myself to say anything negative about Bella, or anyone else, when she had done me the courtesy of keeping my horrible behavior a secret.

"I wasn't close to your Mom before. She was always kind to me, but I just didn't… befriend her as I should have. She was more deserving than I knew; more than me."

Renesmee squeezed my hand. "I'm sure that's not true."

"Oh, it is." I laughed. "But its okay, it'll be okay." I needed to speak with Bella. I needed to apologize. It wouldn't be easy, especially for me, but I also needed to thank her. I didn't deserve a sister like her. I had always thought of her as a sister, she was Edward's mate after all, but still, she was far too kind to me.

Carlisle walked up to us with Esme following close behind. "Renesmee." He called as he approached.

Renesmee turned and smiled. "Hey."

"Renesmee, I wanted to apologize for insinuating that you meant your mother harm. That was not my intent, and far from my belief. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Grandpa. I know; its fine." She was amazing and we could all see it.

Carlisle sighed and looked from Esme back to her. "I do like that name." Renesmee smiled as she blushed. "And as much as I hate to leave, I need to be getting to the hospital. My shift starts in about an hour and I need to finish some paperwork that I put off from last night. I can't wait to spend some more time with you." Renesmee stood up to hug him.

"Me too."

"I'll see you soon." After Carlisle kissed her on the cheek, he took off for the garage.

Esme looked happily from me to Renesmee. "Well, Renesmee, I know you don't have to eat, but do you?"

Renesmee laughed. "I do, but I'm kinda picky, don't take offense, please?"

"Of course not, but still, I hope that you will spend a lot of time here and I want to be prepared. So what do you like?" Esme put her arm around Renesmee's shoulders and looked to me as we proceeded back towards the house.

We walked through the living room and gained Emmett, as Alice and Jasper headed upstairs. The four of us headed into the kitchen while Renesmee told us about the certain types of food and drink she would actually consume versus blood, if given the opportunity.

A/N: Don't say it! I know it's short, lol! I tried to make it long. I really did, but there really isn't much to say. I wanted to show why Rose freaked a little and how she feels about Renesmee and Bella and that doesn't require it's own novel.

With that said, here's the deal. I've had a CRAZY week and I got totally sidetracked this weekend while trying to find a fanfic I read before I had an amount (so I never favorited it). It was a really good one and I can't get the story out of my head. I can't remember much except that Edward runs into Bella after a few years (New Moon) and they believe each other has moved on. They go to a concert and Bella gets drunk when she sees Tanya flirting with Edward. He takes her back to the hotel, but she thinks it's Alice. She strips to her underwear to sleep and Edward breaks a chair.

It sounds good, right? If you know it, send it too me!!! I'm dying. I spend all weekend searching for it and found like fifty stories I want to read and then continued to read about fifteen of them.

Okay, enough excuses… Next chapter is the B/E convo. The conversation is written but I'm gonna add it as a dual-POV. (Thank you Emerald Star73 for the idea :)) Hopefully, it will be up in the next few days. Thanks for sticking with me!

As always, Read, Review, and Ask! I love your comments, keep them coming!
