Chapter Twelve
A Little Angel
I screamed out loud as a wave of pain made my head spin, it felt like my womb was being ripped from my body. I clung to Emmett while I screamed and then I was out of breath as the pain left as soon as it arrived.
Carlisle and Emmett supported me and we started walking, I was still out of breath but I was able to walk. I needed to lay on my bed as I wasn't sure if I would be able to stay on my feet the next time the pain strikes. I saw the family looking at us with worry and concern as they had heard my screams and I saw Bella shoot up from her seat close to Jacob and Rennesme and running closer to us.
'Good luck,' Alice said with love in her voice but I couldn't even reply as I felt my body being rigid in fear. I was giving birth to my child, I was thrilled and scared to death at the thought. A million things could go wrong but I tried to push all those thoughts of my mind as the last time I let myself sink in desperation, my daughter's life was jeopardized.
We entered the room in a rush, Emmett helped me lay in the middle of the bed, away from the headboard so that during labor I was close to Carlisle and Bella at the end of the bed. Bella arranged the pillows for my back and I just remained still, rubbing my stomach and trying to think of anything else than the pain that would be striking every so often. Caspar also entered the room and remained standing in a corner of the bedroom, not involving himself at all; he just closed his eyes and leaned against the wall behind him. Esme also entered the room and Carlisle asked of her to bring more pillows, I was glad my mother tried to help as much as possible while she was still able to do so. Emmett knelled close to me and kissed my forehead and then my lips as I tried to relax while Carlisle examined me.
'Everything is going to be fine, Rosie.' Emmett whispered at me and I could see the fear, happiness, thrill and worry in his eyes, mirroring my own emotional state. I nodded my head and almost smiled at him as Bella ran to the bathroom and back, bringing things needed for the labor. I smiled a bit wider as Esme entered the room holding a few pillows along with a small box. That box contained the first clothes for Emmelie as Alice had chosen them through the tons of clothes we had bought last month along with a small bonnet, a blanket and the baby's first toy, the teddy bear Bella and I had bought the day we learnt the Denalis were coming.
My attention on the box made my heart race as I realized that soon, those clothes would be used for my little girl. Carlisle thanked Esme and asked of her to close the door, Esme nodded her head and moved close to me first, kissed my forehead and smiled at Emmett.
'Good luck, my loves, we're all here for you, we love you.' Esme said and both Emmett and I nodded our heads to our mother as she smiled a last time, moved close to Carlisle, whispered something to him in vampiric speed and left the room.
'OK, Rose, I'm afraid we have a few hours till the baby is here so I want you to breathe as you have learnt to do so and try even to sleep while you're not in pain, it will help you.' Carlisle told me and I nodded my head, I knew it might took hours or even days and I knew the pain I felt wasn't that strong as the ones who were about to come later. 'Were you in pain for the last hours?' Carlisle asked me and I almost snorted.
'My back and stomach have been in pain for the last two days…' I replied and he nodded his head.
'The labor might take less then, I think it had started hours ago but it wasn't in the final levels of it.' Carlisle said and I nodded my head. I didn't care about the levels or anything as long as we could get this over with it and I had Emmelie in my hands.
We waited for about half an hour before the next contraction hit me. I was almost lulled by Emmett's sweet nothing in my ears that I snapped out of my haze with a gasp. Bella rushed close to me and started breathing rhythmically, showing with no words what to do, I whined in pain but tried to follow my sister's instructions as she kept me tuned on her with a hand on my shoulder and her other hand on my belly. The pain was soon gone and I laid back on my pillows, trying to relax myself. Carlisle seemed to noting something and then looked at Bella.
'Almost half an hour apart, it's going to be a long night, possibly.' He said quietly and I groaned as I had grown tired already.
Time passed by slowly, excruciating slowly with all of us waiting and me suffering from stronger pain with every stroke. Around midnight the contractions were almost ten minutes apart, I was tired and only four hours had passed. I was glad I grew exhausted soon as I slept between the contractions and even Emmett had the time to leave my side while I was asleep as to have a small snack and water.
I snapped out of my sleep once again as the contraction started and I swore that one was stronger than what I had felt so far. I couldn't breathe properly even if both Bella and Emmett tried to help me to do, so I just screamed in pain as I raised my body a bit. I fell back on my pillows and I could feel the hair on my head sticking on my scull as I remained limp on the mattress when the pain was gone. I felt desperation washing over me as I had been suffering for the last hours. The tears soon came as my womb was still throbbing.
'I can't do this anymore, it's too long.' I said as more tears flew down my eyes and I started crying freely. Emmett hugged me the best he could from his position next to me and I tried to stop as I could feel even more tired. I felt Bella's cold hand gripping mine and I looked at her as she was trying to draw my attention.
'I want you to be strong, Rosalie, for your baby's sake, you won't have to feel the pain for much longer,' Bella told me, looking deep inside my eyes as my blue orbs and her topaz ones melted, revealing how much we had tried for each other's daughters' survival. I nodded my head as I knew she was right, I had been waiting for my child to come for far too long and I wasn't giving up now, with my child only hours away.
After awhile, -not enough time for me to fall asleep again-, the pain was back and it was even stronger, this time I tried to keep up with the breathing as I felt the pain inside my womb getting more unbearable by the moment. When it was finally done, I tried to breathe in shallow gasps as Emmett was whipping the sweat from my forehead. Carlisle checked on me again and reassured us that everything was going fine.
The next contractions came faster and faster till I could feel the pressure inside me and I felt like needing to push. I was already tired, my womb wouldn't stop throbbing even when the contractions stopped for a few minutes and my bones felt like they were breaking every time I moved. I was whining and screaming every time I felt the pain and soon Carlisle was examining me again as the contractions were stronger and harder noticeably.
'OK, Rosalie, things have sped up, we'll have to wait a little longer and then you'll be able to push.' Carlisle said and I almost laughed halfheartedly at my father's words.
'Sped up… it has been five hours already.' I whined and Emmett kissed my forehead after he whipped the sweat from my skin.
'You're doing great, beautiful, just a little more.' Emmett encouraged me and I looked down at our joint hands, I hadn't let go of his hand for the last couple of hours and I was sure his hand had gone numb from the pressure I applied on it. Emmett brought our hands close to his lips and kissed my knuckles as he grinned at me. 'Emmelie will soon be with us.' He whispered at me and I nodded my head almost smiling but another contraction started and I screamed as my pubic bone felt like cracking.
After a few more minutes with the contractions almost being in a row separated by a couple of minutes Carlisle opened my legs wider and Bella moved on the other side of my body as Emmett straighten up closer to me. Bella made my pillows once more and I looked at Caspar who had brought his hands on his face, trying to focus harder as the pain in my body increased. By now, the pressure and the pain were unbearable and I almost pushed a couple of times.
'Not yet, Rosalie, wait till I tell you to push.' Carlisle said and I nodded my head as I felt another contraction approaching. I screamed out loud as my womb started hurting once again and the pressure inside me became even greater, I felt like my vagina was being ripped, I screamed once more and tried to breathe as I should but the pain was too much.
'It hurts so much!' I screamed through clutched teeth and I burst in tears again as the pain seemed endless. Carlisle nodded at Bella and she smiled encouraging me and Emmett. The pain stopped but the pressure and the throbbing remained but I tried to take some breaths in, as I very much needed them. My eye caught the clock by my nightstand, I then realized I had lost track of time, it was already 5:14, the 2nd of May, that meant I was in labor for more than nine hours when I thought it was about five, I felt grateful for being able to sleep for a time.
'OK, Rosalie, you're very close, when the next contraction starts, I want you to hold your breath, bring your chin close to your chest and push as hard as you can manage.' Carlisle told me and I sighed and nodded as I threw my head back, I knew it was going to hurt like hell but it would be over soon, I hoped.
The pain started again and I did as my father asked me too, I closed my eyes as I tried to focus on what I had to do through the excruciating pain, only once again I had felt pain like this, back in 1915 and I wished I wouldn't have felt something like that ever again. I screamed and pushed and cried as I felt my womb killing me and my vagina stretched, my pubic bone cracked I was sure of it and my lower body as well as my child started pushing even harder to be out. I screamed again and pushed even harder, my left hand was joined with one of Bella's and the other holding Emmett's hand. Both of them were holding the back of my knees with their free hands to help me, as I rested on my elbows to try and push as hard as I could.
I stopped pushing as the pain stopped for awhile and this time I couldn't even cry as my lungs were begging for oxygen, I breathed deeply from my mouth, licking my lips and throwing my head back, trying to help the air move down my trachea. I whined all the way as the pain was still there but not as excruciating and I could hear that my voice was harsh after all the screaming.
'Push again, Rosalie, when the pain is back, push even harder.' Carlisle told me and I didn't even nodded my head as I tried to focus, the only thing I wanted was the pain to stop and it didn't seem to happen unless I did something about it. I clenched my teeth as I felt my womb in pain again, strong, endless, torturing.
I put my head back in position and I whined through my teeth as I pushed as I hard as I could, my hands were in pain by clutching my sister and husband so hard and I was sure if it was anyone but them, I would have broken their hands for sure. I screamed and hissed as I felt the pain not leaving, as it had done before, but I pushed all the while, praying to whatever power was up there to help me.
'The head is out!' Carlisle exclaimed and I allowed myself a moment of peace as I chuckled and sobbed at the same time, moments separated me from holding my baby.
'Come on, Rosalie, a little more, push harder, love.' Emmett told me as he looked deep in my eyes.
'Come on Rose, you're doing great.' Bella told me and I nodded my head frantically, knowing what I had to do. The pain increased once again and I screamed as I started pushing once more, this time my upper body moved upwards in effort as I crawled and pushed mildly. I screamed and screamed till my voice was unrecognizable to my own ears and I pushed and whined and hissed as my body pushed my child out of me.
For a moment, I stopped and fell backwards as I knew what happened, the pressure was gone, I was extremely sore, throbbing but the pain had stopped and I heard it. I heard it before Emmett or Bella could even understand and before even Carlisle could say it out loud, I heard her cry. Her cry was the most beautiful sound in all my existence's years. A loud, baby crying, my baby's crying.
Bella and Emmett released my legs and they fell limply on the bed as I was still on my back, trying to breathe, I burst in tears of relief as my child kept crying, I looked at Carlisle and my heart ached as I saw my little daughter, pinkish and beautiful as she screamed loudly, Emmett was close, looking at our baby in awe, Bella offered him a pair of scissors and he cut the umbilical cord, separating me with our baby. Bella then took her and Carlisle started cleaning me, I could feel my womb hurting still and I knew my placenta had to be removed but I didn't care of the pain or the blood or the exhaustion.
Emmett moved close to me and kissed my lips hungrily and even if I was still out of breath and in tears I responded with need, he pecked my lips many times, tears running his own cheeks as we smiled goofily at each other, we didn't speak as to enjoy the sound of our child crying in the bedroom.
'We have our baby,' I whispered and Emmett nodded and kissed me again.
'She's so beautiful, like you, you did great, my love.' Emmett told me in a whisper as he broke the kiss and I smiled and kissed him this time. We smiled at each other as Bella had taken Emmelie in the bathroom as to clean and prepare her for us. I couldn't take my eyes off my husband's like he couldn't do with mine as we remained silent for awhile, enjoying the moment, we had our baby, our daughter, after so long.
Emmett brought his face even closer and our foreheads were touching, like our noses did, we smiled again and pecked each other's lips. Carlisle smiled at us and said everything went great, he congratulated me for being so brave but right now my world contained only Emmett's eyes and Emmelie's crying.
After a few moments Carlisle helped me lay better on the bed, I lay on the bed and sighed contained, my body was all sweaty and tired but I would have a shower later, now the only thing I wanted was to hold my baby in my arms. Emmett sat next to me, his arm snaking around my shoulders as Bella exited the room with a small, pink puddle in her arms. She smiled at me and came closer. I gasped as she lowered her body and brought my child closer to me.
A beautiful, chubby infant with blonde hair and half closed, baby blue eyes was in her arms. I beamed at my daughter and took her in my arms, not even believing that this little human had been inside of me for so long. I couldn't stop the tears once again but this time those tears were of pure joy and elation. I finally had the one thing I always wanted to, no immortality and no beauty mattered to me as I held my little angel in my arms.
The baby kept crying for awhile and then stopped and yawned, her tiny mouth making a small o as she cooed and opened her eyes a little more. The room was dim as the first sunrays started showing through the windows and the only light came from the lamps on the nightstands. My little miracle looked around her and then at me, I gasped as my daughter looked inside my own eyes for the very first time. I laughed and chuckled and sobbed as I rocked her lightly and smiled at her.
'Hello, Emmelie, I have been waiting for so long to meet you.' I whispered at her and the baby kept cooing and brushing her little face with her hands.
Emmett kissed my cheek and his large hand moved close to our baby, he placed his index finger beneath of one of her little hands and the baby's entire palm was almost the size of Emmett's fingertip. I smiled as I looked in my husband's eyes the same moment he did so. We smiled at each other again and we looked back at our baby.
'She's so tiny…' Emmett said and I smiled and nodded.
'She's adorable.' Bella said as she sat at the edge of the bed. Carlisle cleaned all the blood from the bed and came closer as well.
'Congratulations,' he told us smiling and we smiled as Emmelie cooed louder and let out a tiny cry.
'Thank you, both of you; I wouldn't have made it without you.' I said and looked at my father and sister; they both smiled and nodded their heads. 'Or without you,' I said and I looked at Emmett, he smiled and kissed my lips again.
'I love you so much, Rosalie,' Emmett whispered and I smiled and leaned against him.
'Thank you for her.' I said quietly and we chuckled as the baby yawned again.
'She's very quiet.' Bella said and I smiled and nodded my head.
'Maybe it's not my child.' Emmett said grinning and I chuckled.
'If she's loud when she's hungry or needs to draw attention then she's our child for sure.' I said and we both chuckled and that moment indeed our baby started crying.
'You should breastfeed her,' Carlisle said and Bella nodded her head and stood up. I had learnt how to do it since I had researched everything about her, so I was ready.
'If you're not tired I'll let the rest to come and see you in groups later.' Carlisle told me and I beamed at him, I wanted the rest of the family to see my baby right away but I felt exhausted indeed. Bella, Caspar -who seemed very tired by now- and Carlisle left the room and I looked back at my whining daughter.
'You want to hold her?' I asked Emmett as I wanted my husband to hold our baby and I had to adjust my gown's V neck as to breastfeed the little angel. Emmett smiled at me nervously and I gave him our baby carefully, Emmett held Emmelie close, he smiled down at her and that moment, I loved him even more if that was possible, he smiled at her innocently. The innocence of his eyes matched our baby's and I smiled happily as I savored the moment. I revealed my left breast and Emmett put Emmelie back in my arms. He remained close to me, supporting Emmelie along with my hands as I brought her little head close to my breast.
Emmelie opened her eyes again and after a couple of tries she found my nipple and started sucking it, drinking her first milk. I smiled at my little baby as her eyes were wide open now, looking at me intensely, both mine and Emmett's hand holding her safely close to us. The only sound in my ears was my heartbeat, Emmett's slow breathing next to me and Emmelie's lips sucking at my breast.
'This is adorable,' Emmett whispered as he watched me and our baby joint, this is exactly how I would tag that moment too, adorable, in my daydreams as a vampire, this is how I imagined myself, with my newborn, breastfeeding my little one while the love my life is by my side, this is what I wanted for decades and I finally had it all.
Emmelie kept sucking my breast for a few minutes, the sensation was great and not painful at all as my baby depended on it and the whole feeling of giving to my little one the only thing she needed from my own body made my eyes water again. She finally let my nipple free and yawned again as her eyes closed immediately. Both Emmett and I chuckled as our baby was fast asleep in a matter of seconds.
'She's the most beautiful baby in the world.' I whispered and fully believed it, I hadn't seen so much perfection in such a tiny being, not even in Nessie who captivated me from the moment she was conceived.
'It's normal as she's the daughter of the most beautiful woman in the world.' Emmett said and I smiled at him, he kissed my lips and I responded as we kept our little daughter in our hands, rocking her slightly as we enjoyed our quiet time together. There was a small knock on the door and we waited, not wanting to reply too loudly as not to disturb Emmelie. I covered my exposed breast with my cloth as we waited for a few more moments. The door cracked open and Nessie's little head with bronze hair popped from the opening. She beamed at us and moved inside the room, followed by Bella, Edward, Esme, Alice and Jasper. I smiled at my mother, niece and siblings as they all moved inside carefully.
They all gathered around the bed to see little Emmelie and beamed at the little puddle in my arms. Emmelie was sleeping peacefully in my arms not bothered by anything and I smiled proudly as Esme moved close and looked at the little one. I stretched my arms slightly and Esme beamed at me and took Emmelie in her hands, the love in her eyes unmistakable.
'She's so very beautiful, just like you, Rose.' Esme said and I smiled at my mother as Emmett hugged me tighter. Esme gave the baby to Bella again and Edward and Nessie moved close to her as well. Nessie smiled and leaned closer, giving a small kiss on my baby's head, that moment I knew the little ones of the Cullen family were going to be great cousins and friends. Edward smiled at me and Emmett.
'She's very content and relaxed, happy and carefree, she loved your milk.' He told me and I smiled and chuckled as I knew my baby's thoughts were probably random in her slumber. Bella gave the baby to Alice and she took it, beaming at her niece, Jasper got closer and I didn't feel worried for him being so close to an infant full of fresh, sweet blood. I knew Jasper would prefer to be torn apart and burnt than to hurt any of us-let alone my baby girl- so I remained relaxed as he leaned and kissed Emmelie's head.
'She's brilliant, twin.' He told me with his deep voice and I smiled and nodded my head as my twin approved my little miracle. Alice moved closer to me this time and brought me the baby back in my hands, I took my little girl with happiness, my arms were aching for her to be back in them already.
'She's the most beautiful baby in the world.' Alice said and I smiled as she repeated what I had said when I was alone with Emmett. Nessie frowned childish and Bella smiled as Edward scooped her in his arms.
'You're the most beautiful little lady in the world, Rennesme.' Edward said and I smiled and nodded my head. The most beautiful girls in the world were in here and I was glad I wasn't one of them, I felt proud of it. Esme left and returned in a flash with a cradle in her hands, she placed it next to my side of the bed and I thanked her silently as she took the baby from my hands and placed her inside the cradle.
'You should sleep, Rosalie, it was a hard night for you,' Esme told me lovingly. 'And you should sleep too, Emmett, one of us can stay and watch the baby and both of you as well for that matter.' Esme went on and I frowned.
'I want to stay up; I want to be with Emmelie.' I said quietly and Esme smiled at me but shook her head.
'You need to rest as the baby will be waking up almost every three hours as to eat and you have been through a long labor. You need to sleep and when you're up and stronger, you'll have a bath and you'll eat something as you need your strength, your father's orders.' Esme said and I moaned quietly but obliged as I could feel my body screaming for some rest as I was still sore and exhausted. Everyone wished me and Emmett a good sleep and left the room, leaving Esme with me and my husband.
She almost tucked us in, Emmett opened his arms and I slipped inside his hug, needing his body to comfort my physical pain and mental exhaustion. Esme probably remained in the bedroom, sitting by the window, watching the new little Hale-McCarthy-Cullen family falling asleep. Even thought I did not want to admit it, they were right that I needed the sleep and soon, brilliant dreams of Emmelie grown up and a dazzling beautiful like me with a kind and innocent soul like her father's filled my sleep.
SOO? Was it as good as you hoped it'd be? I hope so, i wanted a detailed description of the labor as i'm making the story from Rosalie's pov so it was important for me to make it like that. Just remember, I haven't given birth to children so I just tried to guess the ammount of pain Rosalie was in.
I made Emmelie to be born in 2nd of May as this is my birthday hehe I just couldn't resist.
I loved the breastfeeding scene along with the moment of Emmett holding little Emmelie. and yaya the angst is done for now :)
