5:52am…. Yaaa…. I really do have insomnia don't I? Here is a short quick chapter. ENJOY….. Oh and I hope everyone holidays went well… lol..

**************************************************

"I hate moving!" I said as Emmett handed me another box on top of the other three he has already gave me. "And would you stop stacking boxes on me!"

So here we are again! Moving… once again. This time we were in Hoquiam, Washington; which was a couple of miles away from some freak small town called Forks. What kind of name was that anyway? Forks? What the hell…..

"C'mon Rose all these boxes are as light as feathers to you," he said about to add another box to this large tower in my arms.

"Yeah, but I still I need to see where I'm going! I swear if you put that box on top of here, you're going to be eating that box…" I threatened.

I immediately heard the box drop down to the floor.

"What do you have against moving anyway? We do it all the time… you would think you were used to it by now," Emmett said as he took two boxes from my pile and headed inside the house.

"That's exactly it, we move all the time! I hate it! Can't we just stay in one place for longer than five years? Seven years maybe? Is that too much to ask for?"

"Now Rose you know better than I do, why we can't stay in one place for too long," he said as he took the remaining boxes away from me and set them onto the tiled floor.

Before I can say anything else I was interrupted.

DING-DONG!

"Rose, can you get that!" I heard Esme yell from the third floor.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. Emmett left to retrieve more boxes as I turned to answer the door.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

'Jeez! Calm down!'

"I'm coming!" I yelled hoping the person behind the door would stop and quickly realize they are not welcomed.

I was actually some-what surprised, we never really got much visitors… Anywhere we lived. Not that I was complaining, we just never got much visitors is all.

I reluctantly opened the door, only to find a rather mediocre looking woman and an acne faced young man at her side. The boy looked at me wide-eyed. An obvious reaction. The woman on the other hand, just smiled widely causing her eyes to form small crescent moons.

"Why aren't you just the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!" the woman mused as she leaned forward to embrace me.

Usually I would have not allowed a human to get so close to me. But I was caught completely off guard. As she hugged me I felt her shiver in my arms, due to my cold skin. She immediately pulled away laughing nervously.

I could tell this laugh was just so she wouldn't seem rude.

My cold skin didn't seem to bother her for long, the nervousness in her face was quickly replaced with that cheeky smile of hers.

My brow furrowed and I smiled nervously, to be honest… I was kind of frightened by her enthusiasm.

"Why you must be Rosalie Cullen! I notice you from your file at the hospital. Welcome to the neighborhood!" she said.

'I have a file?'

"Hale… My last name is Hale," I corrected her.

Don't get me wrong I love my family and was blessed to have them. But, I was still too proud to give up my name.

I could tell my correction made the woman more nervous.

"Oh... uhmm… sorry about that. I just thought… well… isn't your father's last name Cullen?" she stammered.

"Adoptive father," I said, correcting her once again.

What is the point of reading a file (which I was still surprised I had) if your not going to know all the details?

Before she could start stammering again I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder.

"Rosalie who are your friends?" Carlisle asked warmly.

'They are not my friends' I thought viciously.

I put on my perfected fake smile, "Well! Miss… I'm sorry I didn't get your name."

"Newton, Cheryl Newton," she piped up seeming slightly shocked by my change of mood. "And this is my son, Teddy."

I raised an eye brow in amusement, 'Teddy?! Hahhahahahahahahaha!'

The boy, Teddy, smiled nervously at Carlisle and looked at me with, what I was assuming, was his way of trying to look sexy. Then, he smiled at me, nodding like an idiot. I'm guessing it was a mental note of me having his approval or something. I immediately felt like throwing up (if I could).

If only Emmett could see this… this poor fool would have had his head ripped off.

I immediately recovered for my nausea.

"Mrs. Newton just stopped by to welcome us to the neighborhood," I told Carlisle as I smiled widely.

Carlisle gave the, "you stop that right now" look. A look that was only reserved for me. Maybe because I was the only one of his children who enjoyed watching people struggle under pressure and awkward situations.

"Hello Cheryl. I'm Carlisle, it's good to meet you. You've met my daughter, Rosalie."

"It's very nice to meet you Rosalie," Mrs. Newton said, I could still tell my presence made her uncomfortable, I didn't care.

"Oh well it's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Newton," I said mocking her enthusiasm from before. I swear sometimes my acting skills impress even me.

I could tell you one person who wasn't impressed at all, Carlisle. He squeezed my shoulder, telling me to "stop" another gesture only reserved for me.

"Well, I just wanted to stop by and meet you before your first day at work tomorrow. I'm one of the RN's on your floor and…"

I couldn't hear what ever else Mrs. Newton was saying… I actually wasn't to interested at what she had to say at all, really. I was completely distracted by her staring son, Teddy.

Teddy continued to stare, he was completely aware that I knew he was staring at me.

'Does he really think staring at me like that makes him look… appealing?'

With that thought I decided to just go with it, and have some fun.

"Hi," I silently mouthed to him, pretending to smile shyly.

I could tell this shocked him for a bit, but it only made his ugly smile grow.

'Ew, perv.'

I started to twirl my long hair in between my finger tips. This was getting boring fast, I don't know how much longer I could be able to watch this boy and his slimy smile.

So, I decided to end my fun.

With another twirl of the hair, I bit my bottom lip and eyed him from head to toe. When I looked at his blemished face once again, I gave him a wink.

With a gasp he dropped the metal tin in his hands, that I hadn't noticed he was holding.

I started to laugh softly to myself.

"Rosalie," Carlisle whispered under his breath.

I turned and shrugged at him acting completely oblivious to what was happening. But Carlisle knew better.

"Oh Teddy! You are so clumsy!" Mrs. Newton scolded as she watched her son scramble onto the floor to pick up the tin.

Teddy quickly handed his mother the tin and didn't dare look at me again.

I just smirked.

"I almost forgot… I baked you and your family some cookies," Mrs. Newton chimed.

I heard her heart accelerate. Which only meant one thing… she was lying.

"Oh you bake?" I asked smiling with interest.

"Oh yeah! All the time," Teddy rolled his eyes, but quickly looked to the ground when he saw my eyes quickly shift to him, "when I'm not at the hospital it's almost impossible to get me out of the kitchen."

Her heart was racing at triple the speed now. Which only meant… another lie.

"Really? What do you bake?" I continued pretending to be interested in this woman's alleged hobby.

"Uhmm... Well you know… Cookies, pies… err… cakes. I actually just baked a three layered cake actually."

I wanted to laugh, I didn't need to hear her heart rate to know that was a lie.

"Wow… I've always wanted to do that… Maybe you could show me how it's done some time."

"Show.. You?" she stammered.

"Uh-huh," I smiled sweetly.

It was clear to Carlisle that I was just making fun of this woman now.

"Well… maybe sometime when we get settled into the neighborhood," Carlisle quickly interjected, while taking the tin from Mrs. Newton's hands.

"Uhh… yeah sure."

"Well it was nice to meet you. I will see you tomorrow at the hospital. Good-bye."

"Bye," Mrs. Newton said backing away from our door and turning to leave. Teddy followed quickly behind her.

"Bye Teddy," I said alluring as possible while putting emphasis on the last syllable of his name.

"B-b-b-b-bye," he stammered as he tripped on the last step of our porch and fell onto his knees.

"Oh Teddy! Why are you so clumsy?!" Mrs. Newton called from the car.

Teddy was quickly on his feet and ran to the car.

I started laughing louder now as I swung the door shut.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale Cullen! Was that absolutely necessary?" Carlisle scolded.

I grabbed the tin from his hands and opened it to examine it's contents.

"No," I sniffed the cookies and quickly closed the tin in disgust, "it was not necessary. Not at all. It was just fun."

"What was fun?" Esme asked as we walked into the kitchen.

"Your daughter here thought it would be funny to make fun of our new neighbors," Carlisle explained.

"Oh honey I wish you wouldn't do that," Esme said with a frown.

"Yes, Rosalie. They were only trying to be nice. They baked us cookies and everything," Carlisle said while trying to sound fatherly.

"Oh they baked cookies?" Esme said sounding excited.

'It's not like we can eat them.'

I shook the tin in one hand showing Esme before I tossed it onto the marble counter.

"Have you seen that woman's freshly manicured fingernails? Which were poorly done I must add. That woman has never baked in her life. I even bet she doesn't even know the difference between a whisk and a blender." I stated as I hopped onto the marble counter. Crossing my legs and examining my finger nails, "And have you smelled those cookies? They're stale. Probably from the grocery store."

"It's the thought that counts," Esme replied.

"Ooooh, are those cookies?" Emmett asked as he entered the kitchen.

He quickly pecked me on the lips and started reaching for the tin. I quickly swatted his hands away.

"No," I simply said.

"What?" he asked innocently, "I just want to try one."

"There's no point. You're just going to have to throw it up later anyway," I countered.

He pouted and gave me a puppy dog look.

"I said," I smacked Emmett's reaching hand once more, "No."

He quickly retracted his hand.

"I just wanted one…" he grumbled.

I actually felt kind of bad. I knew it sounded ridiculous, keeping cookies away from my husband. But, seriously there was no point in eating them!

I pulled Emmett closer to me, forcing his arms to wrap around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he rested his head onto my chest.

I rested my head on top his, "do you want to go hunting instead?"

I kissed the top of his head.

"It's early spring… and the bears are coming out of hibernation…" I continued. "And you know how irritable their going to be."

Emmett loved it when he got to play with his food.

He looked up at me, "okay…"

I smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

He lifted me from the counter top and settled me onto my feet. I took his hand in mine and headed for the back door.

"Did I hear you guys say you were going to go hunting? Mind if I join you?" Edward asked as he entered the kitchen.

I smirked not looking at Edward. I just eyed Emmett examining his perfection.

"Maybe next time… I don't think you want to go on this hunting trip," I said as I continued to eye Emmett from head to toe. "We'll be back in a couple of hours…"

'Maybe…' I thought with a smile, knowing Edward would hear.

I heard Carlisle and Esme laugh as we walked out of the door.

"Oh god…" Edward groaned, "I did not have to hear that."
