Chapter Four
Human is Hard to be…
Emmett and I remained in our bed for the rest of the morning, making love, calming down, taking naps and making love again. My second first day as a human was smooth so far with myself and my husband more happy than ever. After hours, we decided to take a shower in our bedroom's bathroom, put fresh clothes on and go out of the room as to see the rest of the family. I felt a small stab of worry at the thought of Jasper's worried gaze upon me and Emmett, I hadn't seen that gaze on me, ever and I knew it'd be simply awkward for us to have to be careful around each other.
After a quick love encounter under the hot water, we finally made it out of the room and into the living room, where Esme, Edward, Bella and Nessie were already looking at the direction of the stairs when we showed up. Bella grinned looking at mine and Emmett's human color of skin and spoke still grinning.
'Here come the humans…' she said and smiled at us, I smiled back as Nessie ran to me and I hugged her, I wasn't ready as I thought I'd be able to hold my self but the girl hugged me with such force that I stepped back. Almost startled, I reminded my self that I'm not the hard-as-granite vampire anymore and I should be careful.
Nessie released me and Emmett and I sat down, close to our family. I looked around for any sign of the rest but Esme spoke, answering my unanswered question.
'Carlisle is in the hospital, Caspar and Amelia went hunting and exploring as they wanted to learn the area, Jasper and Alice are with them so they can show them the borders for La Push and the places with the most animals.' Esme said and I smiled and nodded I looked around me and noticed that my eyes narrowed in the bright sun that was revealed from a cloud. My mother, brother and sister shone and I just marveled at how is to see them from a different point of view.
Nessie smiled at me as she probably knew why I was so astonished. Emmett hugged me close to him and I leaned willingly, wanting just to relax with my family.
'So, you think the baby is already made?' Nessie asked and I felt myself actually blushing after so long, I looked at Emmett who was grinning like he always did.
'Well, that's something Alice could answer, Nessie, the only thing we can assure you of this is that we did our best to try it.' My husband replied diplomatically enough as not to raise even more uncomfortable questions from our niece. I needed Edward and Bella's support – let out Bella's ability to cook human food- so the last thing I needed was to have those two mad at me as they're daughter would want to know how babies are made. I smiled at the girl I once wished to be mine and spoke.
'Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm sure you'll have a cousin soon.' I said and Emmett looked at me, I returned his gaze smiling.
'She will?' he asked grinning and I nodded my head, genuinely sure.
'I can feel it,' I said quietly and Emmett just beamed at me and kissed my lips softly. I knew I wasn't Alice and I didn't have any special gift apart my beauty but I could just sense the arrival of my child in a while. I couldn't tell if I was pregnant or not yet, but I was positive I would be pregnant soon.
~*~
Emmett and I decided to have a walk around the forest we knew so well. We didn't want to get too far inside the forest as not to startle Jasper or Alice with our smell. We didn't need to push our luck and we knew that Caspar has his power on us so he was probably aware of how close or far we were from him. Jasper was the only "danger" that could be brought straight to us if he was unprepared for our new status.
The walk around the forest was beautiful, we may couldn't climb on the trees but we liked the walk around the aging trees. We felt tired soon, way sooner than we thought we would tire so we decided to return. I was slightly disturbed at the limited time of our physical strength but I guess that was normal, Emmett and I hadn't been normal for too long…
When we were back home, we were welcomed from a nice smell that made our stomachs growl. Bella was cooking chicken with potatoes and nice saws that I couldn't actually understand the ingredients of but I was more than blissful with the smell that filled the house. Esme was close to Bella, watching the young woman preparing the food, asking questions as she probably wanted to know what to do things so she could cook for us as well.
As the time went by, Emmett and I felt even more tired so we decided to relax in the living room till the lunch was ready for us and we could eat and sleep. I knew we were too tired and that didn't seem normal for two grown ups like me and Emmett, after all, the only thing we did was to take a walk around the forest for awhile.
I felt worry inside my newly beating heart and I wished it wasn't something to worry about. Of course it wouldn't be a problem if Emmett and I could speak to our father about it.
'You still feel like the dogs stepped on you?' Emmett asked me with a small smile and I nodded my head without being able to open my eyes.
'Hm me too,' he replied and I reached for his hand, I squeezed my warm hand with his as we were settled in the loveseat. Someone entered the room and I felt disturbed of me not being able to hear or sense who he was so I opened my eyes and saw Esme smiling at us.
'The lunch is ready, you want to eat now?' she asked us smiling and we simply nodded and stood up, not feeling very well. Esme wrapped her cold arm around my shoulders and kissed my hair as she almost carried me to the dinning room where two sets of plates full of food were placed.
Emmett and I sat down as Bella entered the room and sat close to us as well as Esme who only beamed at us. For a moment I was looking at the human food and Bella, not being positive for my actions. I was still shocked on how much I loved human food – considering I devoured my breakfast- and at how good Bella could cook. I decided not to be so snob and vain and took my first bite, I was happily surprised when I enjoyed the chicken in my mouth and I decided to add some extra cheese from a small bowl between me and Emmett's plates. Bella and Esme were looking at us expecting but Emmett spoke first.
'This is really good, Bells, well done, you're doomed to be our personal cooker for the reminder of our human period.' Emmett said smiling and Bella beamed at him and looked back at me.
'It's very good, Bella, thank you.' I said sincerely and she smiled warmly at me, her topaz eyes so different from her once human ones. As the meal was coming to an end I heard Carlisle's car pulling over and I decided to talk to him about mine and Emmett's weakness as I was barely able to seat upwards in the chair without collapsing. I could see that Emmett, even if being the stronger, seemed tired and worn out so something had to be wrong with us.
Carlisle called out he was back and Esme stood up and invited him in the dinning room. Our father entered the room kissed his wife on the lips gently and smiled at Bella but looked worried at me and Emmett the moment he laid his eyes on us.
'How you feel?' he asked as he sat close to Emmett and examined us with his eyes.
'Exhausted,' Both Emmett and I replied and he nodded as he took a small notebook out of his bag and started noting things I couldn't and didn't want to know about.
'I think I know why, guys.' He said and both Emmett and I looked at him expecting an answer. He cleared his throat and spoke.
'You may have stuck at age of 18 and 20 externally but your bodies have been "working" for you for decades with no stop and they have experience extremes with your turn into vampires and now your turn into humans, let alone all the daily, physical activity of yours.' Carlisle said and even I hadn't thought of that, it sounded very normal. 'I'm sure you'll experience this exhaustion for the next days, maybe weeks but I'm sure your bodies will adjust soon. Your bodies will also be aging as far as you're humans.' He went on and both Emmett and I breathe in relief, it was good to know after all this I would look like a bit older, I was tired of being treated like a teenager in every new area the family migrated. 'However, I'm not sure what will happen if you get pregnant, Rosalie.' Carlisle added and I shot almost a glare at him.
'When I get pregnant.' I corrected him and he nodded his head but kept his eyes smooth yet stern on me.
'I think that your body will have the time to adjust again in your human status but I'm not sure how it will react to the challenge of caring another being after so much time of being active in both vampire and human natures.' Carlisle said and I sighed in frustration as things seemed to get complicated.
'Can you please tell me what you think will happen to me and get over with it?' I asked and he nodded his head again as he spoke.
'I am afraid you'll have a tough pregnancy, morning sickness and weakness are some of the symptoms you may experience. Human women don't have to lift weights, get worried, feel frustrated and try to do extreme things then you shouldn't even consider doing such things.' Carlisle said and I proceeded everything he said in my mind.
'I don't care,' I simply said and felt Emmett's hand joining with mine. 'As to have my child, I'm willing to spend the entire nine months on bed, I don't care of the risks, father. I want my child, no matter what.' I said simply and Carlisle nodded his head and I looked at Emmett who simply smiled at me, agreeing with my decision. Many times we thought of the "adoption" matter in the family, we thought of adopting a child, raising it and then what? Simply turn and doom it in this life without end? Or just send it away, away from people he or she would consider family.
Now, with the plan of "expanding" the covens, I felt more sure, I had considered that matter a lot. What would be less painful for a child? Doom it to be a vampire with the rest of the family, or doom it to die and face whatever it is afterwards, all alone? All those things had made my head spin when Bella and Edward were struggling with their relationship and then for the first time I thought that being here was a little better than being in my afterlife all alone, without my family, without Emmet. That decision was made when I fought for Nessie's life, when I didn't want that little, innocent girl to face the Angel of Death just yet and all alone, when I knew that girl didn't deserve to die at all.
Back then, however I was considering myself miserable for not being able to carry a child, to have a child as all the humans could. Now, with my chance on having that child and my mind made on what I wanted for this child's life I felt surer than ever about my decisions.
'We don't know when you'll get pregnant for sure, so I want you to be extremely careful. The exhaustion will pass but I want you to be careful, Rose, I want to be informed of any change you believe you have, ok?' Carlisle asked me and I nodded my head, agreeing on having my father as my personal doctor, it would help a lot with him knowing our nature better than anyone else.
~*~
The next days were surprisingly normal as I spent most of my time with Emmett, in our bedroom, resting and making sure our child would be soon inside of me. Both Emmett and I had decided to spend our "resting-adjusting" days in our bedroom, enjoying the privacy and the bed for the first time in a long time. Carlisle's words had me worried at first but after I talked with my husband and he reassured me that everything would be simply fine, I knew this was what we had to do.
Edward and Bella were usually indoors as well with Rennesme who was more than worried for me and Emmett and our exhaustion which seemed to pass away with every day. Esme and Carlisle were the ones I saw the most as they came in our bedroom, Esme to keep us company and Carlisle to examine us to make sure for the billionth time that we were fine.
We didn't see Caspar and Amelia a lot as they didn't want to be very noticeable and possibly unwanted by any means. Esme had tried to reassure them they were more than welcome in the house but they insisted on staying out of the house for most of the time so Amelia could adjust even more because of her gift, as a tracker she needed to stay in the nature longer.
The ones I hadn't seen a lot and that hurt me deeply were Alice and Jasper. Now I knew how it was when Emmett and I were leaving for our honeymoons. Jasper and Alice were spending most of their time out of the house and they usually returned home at night when either Emmett or I could possibly stay up and see them. I knew that was happening because Jasper was trying to adjust but I missed my siblings.
Bella and I were fine now, a little awkward once more as the roles had reversed but she took great care of me and Emmett when we needed something the rest of the family wouldn't understand and I was grateful to my… little sister but still, I missed Alice. I was considered the eldest sister and Alice was the middle one ever since Bella entered the family a couple of years ago. For decades Alice and I were best friends, I needed her in a period of my life like this one, I wanted her to share all my feelings, thoughts and dreams I couldn't possibly share with Bella. I knew Alice for decades and I am not the kind of person who simply opens up and talks about what happened to my life or about what I want to happen to me in the future. Jasper was my twin and I missed him very much as well, he is used to call me "Twin" like I do and I know that he's away from the family so he won't hurt me or Emmett and that hurts as I didn't want to make him move away in any possible way.
I felt Emmett's hands embracing me even closer to him and I sighed content as I looked out of the window over my husband's shoulder.
'What do you think about, beautiful?' Emmett asked me softly with his warm breath close to my ear and I sighed once more.
'Alice and Jasper, they have been distant ever since we changed.' I answered simply and Emmett nodded his head and kissed my lips softly, both of us content after our lovemaking was finished for tonight.
'I know, I'm sure they'll come around in awhile, they need time for Jasper to adjust.' Emmett said and I knew he was right but I hoped it could be easier.
'I know, I just miss Alice like I never thought I would.' I said and Emmett grinned and nodded. 'I feel useless in here, trapped in this room for so long, I wish we could get out and do something. I wish we could feel stronger…' I whined and Emmett laughed this time and I knew he would make fun of the situation.
'First of all, we do something, something very, very nice, we're trying to have a baby and oh my God, we're trying so hard. Second, we have fun and don't deny it because I'm sure everyone in this house is tired of listening to your screams of pleasure for the last couple of days. And I'm so turned on to be trapped in here with the most beautiful woman in the world. Oh, plus, everyone is making sure we're fine and comfortable, people cook for us, come in and make sure we're fine and we just stay here, have sex, make love, sleep and have fun. Life is perfect, Angel.' Emmett said and I laughed as he was indeed right and I knew I just wanted to moan for something.
'You think our baby is made?' I asked and Emmett looked at me and smiled as he kissed my lips again.
'I don't know but I guess it is, I would be worried if it's not with so many times you and I tried for it to be.' Emmett told me grinning and I nodded and cuddled farther in his hug.
'I wish Alice could be here to tell us for sure.' I said simply and Emmett smiled and nodded his head as our sister would be very useful right now. There was a knock on the door and both Emmett and I separated so we could sat up on our bed but stayed close to each other as the door opened and Alice was revealed. I smiled at her like she did and entered the room.
'Speak of the Devil…' Emmett said and Alice smiled even wider and sat close to us on the bed.
'I'm sorry I have been away for awhile, we needed some time to make sure things will be safe for all of us.' Alice said and both Em and I nodded in understanding. 'So how are you lovebirds? How the breeding is going?' Alice asked and we laughed as Alice, I, Em and Jazz were used to teasing each other over the years.
'Well we wanted to ask you the same thing, do I have to keep "breeding" with Rose or the little one is finally made so the torture can stop?' Emmett asked jokingly and I elbowed him hard, actually making him wince as our human status allowed us to feel minor pain, fortunately or not.
Alice tried to focus and both Emmett and I sobered in an instant. I took Alice's hand as I hoped that would help her even more even if I knew how her powers work. She opened her eyes and a small smile was plastered on her lips.
'Well I can see you wanting the child very much,' Alice started and I held my breath as she continued. 'And I can see a little one, I saw it newborn so I couldn't see what it was but I definitely saw the one in your hands, Rose.' She said and the small smile had turned into a huge grin. I felt first Emmett and then Alice hugging me and I could feel the tears running down my cheeks, we may didn't know when, but eventually, I would have my child.
At first I felt numb in shock, I don't know why I felt so shocked but probably the actual fact of seeing my little baby was something too real for me to bear that moment. I hugged my husband and sister back in that somehow awkward hug of the three of us and Alice broke it first as to speak to us.
'I don't know when that happens but I saw it and I think the child is a very beautiful one. I saw it being born in here.' Alice said and I just stared at her and then the room around me, a home labor? Maybe it would be good, considering Caspar should be close to me to keep my body under control or something. I didn't care of the details, the risks or the pain as Alice's vision was the first evidence of my child's arrival into the world.
Ok so what u think of it people? I just adored the scene of Alice seeing the baby, i was almost jumping excited as i was writing from Rose's pov, i can only imagine how relieved and happy she would be, i wanted to develop the theory of their change and Rose's history with some of the other characters, just a little warning for the future, i dunno why but i don't like Jacob so forgive any bassing, i just don't like him....
Thanks for reading, please review.
