Chapter 32

I woke to hear my phone ringing. I let out a moan as i reached for it and put it to my ear.

'Hello?' I said groggily trying to clear the sleep out of my eyes so i could read the time.

'Hey Bella it's Emmet,' I sat up at the sound of his voice. He wasn't too happy. Finally the sleep cleared and I saw it was 3am.

'What's up?' I asked trying to sound more alive. Edward stirred next to me. His eyes opened slowly and he sat up next to me.

'Um, its nothing, I just thought i'd let you know we are coming home today instead of next week,' he said now whispering. In the background i could hear a loud humming. This indicated to me that they were on a plane.

'Oh okay,' I said copying his whisper.

'Our flight arrives in about an hour, could you come and get us?' He asked, still keeping his voice low. He was barely audible. I agreed and took down his flight number. I dragged Edward out of bed and we showered quickly, trying to be quiet so we didn't wake any-one else. We tip toed out the front door and made our way down to the Vovlo.

'Why do you think they are coming home early?' I asked glad that Edward turned the heater on as soon as he started the ignition. He shrugged and drove toward the airport. I spent most the trip warming my fingers against the warm heater. When we arrived e located the gate that they would be coming through. We had made it just on time. I saw Emmet walking and supporting an extremely ill looking Rosalie. She literally looked green. Her normally well kept hair was stringy and greasy. I had never seen her like this, even after the fire. I gasped and Edwards jaw dropped. He quickly ran to meet his brother. Emmet looked extremely tired, like he had been sitting up with her.

'What's wrong with Rosalie?' I asked as I took Emmet's carry on so he didn't have to lug that as well as support Rose.

'Very very bad morning sickness,' he said as Edward supported Rose's other side. She was barely conscious.

'Aw congrats,' I said in reference to the fact Rose was pregnant. Emmet nodded showing no real emotion. We carefully guided Rosalie down to the car and buckled her in. We drove home, stopping several times for her to vomit. We got home and immediately put Rose in bed. Emmet explained that they both assumed it was food related until she was late for her period. They had to return because she was too tired from staying up all night to actually help anyone. Soon after Emmet went to bed as well. The house was yet again quiet. I looked into Edwards eyes to see concern plastered all over his beautiful face.

'What's wrong?' I asked rubbing his arm. He shook his head.

'I'm probably being paranoid, I just don't think that Rosalie is just having morning sickness,' He said staring in the direction of their room. I agreed. Alice had suffered minimal morning sickness but she had never looked that bad.

'I'll keep a close eye on her. I might tell the hospital I need a few days off. Family comes first,' he added. I kissed him on the forehead and got ready for work myself.

I got home to here Emmet's booming laugh fill the apartment. He was sitting across from Rosalie, who looked a little better (not by much), with Atticus giggling and clapping on his lap.

'See in there,' Emmet pointed to Rosalie's still flat belly, 'that's your cousin!'. Rosalie smiled and patted her belly. She suddenly stopped patting it, got up and ran in the direction of the bathroom. She dint have time to close the door and we all heard her be violently sick. I saw Alice rush of, no doubt to hold her hair out of the way. I sighed and placed my satchel on the table.

'How is she doing?' I asked Edward who was preparing dinner in the kitchen. His face was blank.

'Well morning sickness normally occurs in the morning and it's currently,' he looked at his watch, '5 pm.' I sighed.

'Has she been to her doctor?' I asked rubbing his back as her stirred the pasta. He nodded.

'I don't trust the guy though, he should have at least given her some advice on how to deal with it,' he said angrily.

'Have you examined her?' I asked. He shook his head.

'Nope, she won't let me. She said she wanted her doctor not her husband's brother,' he said, his tone offended. I nodded.

3 months on

Rosalie still wasn't much better. In fact she had gotten worse. Emmet was partially excited over the fact that he was going to have a son (they found out!) but mostly worried about Rosalie's health. She spent most her days in bed. Esme had flown over to keep the business running and try and keep an eye on her daughter in law. We were all excessively worried about her.

It was early Saturday morning and I was the only person awake. I had brewed coffee and was reading a news paper when i heard Rosalie get up. She walked into the kitchen, dreary eyed. Her belly had swollen to accommodate her growing son. I greeted her and returned to reading. I was caught up in reading an article when i heard Rosalie collapse, her mug smashing as she fell. I got up and screamed her name. I ran to her side. She was pale, she looked dead.

'EDWARD' I screamed loudly enough to wake the whole house. Edward came running and Emmet and Jasper followed soon. They all look sleepy, their hair messy and still wearing their pyjama bottoms. Edward ran over to me, not seeing that Rosalie had fallen because the bench blocked his view. He gasped and called Emmet over. Emmet rushed his face in a panic. He leaned down by Rosalie's ear and whispered her name attempting to shake her awake. Jasper had pulled out his phone and was dialling 911. Edward rolled Rose on her back and felt for a pulse.

'Oh no' he said quietly to himself. He began CPR as Emmet started to freak. Rosalie's body was lifeless. I heard Alice and Esme join us. They both gasped.

'Come on baby, wake up!' Emmet begged of his wife's lifeless body. Edward continued CPR until the paramedics arrived. They whisked Rosalie away in an instant, Edward and Emmet hot on their trail

When Jasper, Alice, Esme and I arrived at the hospital we found Edward wrapping a supportive arm around Emmet. It was obvious Emmet had been crying. We feared the worst and rushed over to his side.

'What happened?' I asked gently but quickly. Edward stood ushering us away from Emmet. We all stood grouped around listening carefully.

'Rosalie's body rejected her pregnancy. It saw the baby as a virus and fought it off. This caused Rose's body to shut down. They managed to revived her and remove the foetus before it did any more damage,' He said as he rubbed Jaspers shoulder.

'Is the baby okay?' Esme asked her eyes brimming with tears.

'He's extremely premature. We are feeding him steroids but it isn't looking to good. Emmet just had to sign a DNR so that the baby doesn't suffer any more if its heart fails,' Edward whispered.

'Stop referring to him as it,' Alice snapped at Edward. He eyed her carefully.

'Alice, we cannot attach ourselves to the baby, it's not going to make it okay' He said sadly. Emmet started to cry as Alice put a comforting arm around her. Emmet stood and walked toward us.

'We named him,' he said tears streaming down his face. Esme pulled him in for a hug. I felt as tears strolled down my face as well.

'Oscar Tevy Cullen,' he said carefully pronouncing each name carefully. 'Oscar means fighter and Tevy means Angel,'. He sobbed.

'Can we see Rose?' Alice asked trying to hush a now crying Atticus. Edward nodded and we all walked into the hospital room.
