15. Georgia Rose and the Reveal
Rosalie's POV
The whole family creeped into Em's room quietly, for today was his 10th birthday.
Ruff!
I looked down at the silly little puppy, which will soon be Emmett's new pet.
She is a little black and white Border collie, with gorgeous flappy ears. She has deep blue eyes, just like Emmett's. She's smaller than a typical house cat, and perfect for my little Emmett. ( check out the gorgeous puppy on my profile!)
I heard whimpering, and I tapped the little puppy on the nose.
The rest of the family laughed.
The door creaked open, to reveal Emmett's sleeping form. I awwwed at him, and went to kneel by him.
"Psssst. . .Em. . ." I whispered.
His eyes popped open. "Rosie! Guys!"
"Happy Birthday Emmett!" they all said.
"Hey Baby." I said, and hid the puppy further behind my back. "I have a little present for you, but you have to close your eyes."
He looked at me wide eyed. "You mean there's more than just Ireland!"
I nodded. "Of course."
He slid his eyes closed, and propped himself up on himself up on his pillow.
I held the small puppy next to Emmett's face. She licked his nose tenderly.
"Hey Rosie, stop it!" He giggled. "Can't I just have my present."
The rest of the family giggled. "This is your present."
"Uh thanks Rosie-" he said, and whipped his eyes open. "PUPPY?!"
I laughed at him, and held the puppy out to him.
"No way!" He boomed. The loudest he's ever yelled. "Thankyou! He's so cute!"
"She." Esme corrected him.
"Oh 'k!" Emmett said, hugging the puppy close to him as she licked his nose. "She's wonderful! I can't believe I thought Rosie was licking my face."
The rest of the family looked at each other and giggled. I rolled my eyes at them.
"What ya gonna call her?" Jasper said, his Southern accent really coming out.
"Hmmm. . ." He creased his eye-brows together cutely, as if deep in thought. "Georgia. . ."
"That's so cute." I said, rubbing Emmett's hair.
"I'm not done yet! Silly Rosie. . .Hmmm. .. "
I giggled at him.
"Georgia. . .Rose!" He said, staring into my eyes. "Just for you Rosie."
My heart instantly melted into goo. "Thankyou so much Em."
He laughed, and the whole family watched us share this special moment.
RUFF!
We both looked sown at the puppy, who was looking intently at Emmett.
"Awww. . ." he said, and hugged the puppy to him.
"You want to come down for your special birthday breakfast?"
He nodded, and jumped out of bed with little Georgia Rose. She whimpered adorably.
"I'm sure Georgia is hungry too!" I said.
Emmett stopped on his way out of his room, and I stood next to him. "You ok Baby?"
"Canwegotoourspecialplaceplease!"( A/N: translation: Can we go to our special place today please!) he said. Of course I understood perfectly. He did this every birthday.
"Sure we can." I said. We went to the waterfall every birthday, ever since we found him when he was 4. He loved it, because it was our place.
He leaped down the stairs, with Georgia licking his face. I followed, close behind, always keeping a hand on him.
"Honey!" Esme said, as Emmett bundled into the kitchen noisily. "I mad everything I could think of just for you. . "
I looked in amazement as our whole dining room table was filled with food.
"Wow."
Emmett ran to the table, and grabbed a knife and fork. "FOOD!"
I laughed, and went to sit next to Edward. He had a weird look on his face.
"The adoration he has is amazing." Jasper whispered, from across the room.
"Yeah, who wouldn't think that about little Georgia Rose eh?" I laughed.
"Not for the puppy, for you." Edward said.
I stared at Emmett. So that's what he was laughing at before. . .Ass hole.
He laughed.
"He's 10." I murmured.
"I know. . ." he said.
I rolled my eyes at him. Who does he think I am? Some petifile . . .
"Not at all." he murmured. I rolled my eyes again.
"Then why-"
"Edward!" Alice said, and shot a murderous glare at him.
He jumped off his stool, and went to stand with Bella and Carlisle.
"This is ludicrous. . ." I murmured to myself. Me. . .Em. .
Emmett's POV
This is breakfast is so delicious. I've devoured like 10 pancakes now.
Georgia licked my face, and tried to nip at my bacon. "No! Bad puppy!"
She placed her paws, on the table, and looked around. Her black and white coat was so shiny.
I heard whispering from next to me. Maybe it was just in my head.
"Edward." Al said angrily from across the table.
I shovelled some egg into my mouth, and chewed it slowly, enjoying every bite.
Georgia let out a large bark, and started squirming in my arms. I looked around, as did everyone else. Then I noticed Esme with a plate of Kibble, and I understood immediately.
I let her go, and she scurried to her silver food bowl. Ingraved on it was: Georgia Rose, in perfect calligraphy. Wow.
I sat back in my chair, and rested my hands on my belly.
"You full Em?" Rosie asked, coming to stand next to me.
"Uh huh." I said, and rubbed my bloated stomach. "Can we go to our place now. . .?" I asked. I really wanted to go there.
"Yep. We better. Our plane for Ireland leaves in about 6 hours." she said.
I nodded, and went to pick up Georgia. She had just finished her kibble, and walked over to me before I got to her. "Come on Georgia. You can come to the Waterfall! Wait, can she Rosie?"
"Of course she can." she said, smiling at me. The warm feeling inside me in flamed when she smiled. What the hell?
Edward laughed at me.
I picked up Georgia, and headed out with Rosie. "See ya everyone!"
"Bye Em. Have fun!" Everybody said.
I heard so much laughing when we left it was comical.
I put Georgia carefully in the back seat of Rosie's convertible. She whimpered.
I climbed into the front seat, and strapped my seat belt on.
Rosie revved the engine, and smiled at me. Warm feeling again. Eh.
We winded through the driveway, and headed for the familiar forest.
"So Em. . ." Rosie said, as we started down the highway. "What does it feel like to be 10? Double digits?"
I grimaced. Did I feel any different? Not really.
"Nah. . .It doesn't really make a difference." I said, shrugging.
"You realise you'll never be a single digit again." she said, smiling at me.
I nodded.
Georgia Rose, climbed up onto the seat, and sat on my lap. I stroked her softly. She was so breakable. So soft and fragile.
We pulled up onto the now familiar curb, and Rosie got out.
I heaved the door open, and hugged Georgia to me so she wouldn't run away. I ran round to Rosie, and accepted the invitation to get onto her back.
Georgia stuffed her head into my chest, to protect herself from the wind. Smart move.
The clouds over head were a murderous grey, and looked full of rain. Hmm. . .We were gonna get wet for sure. But I didn't care.
The wind going past us slowed, as we came to stop. We walked inside the cave, and I gazed up at the beautiful gushing waterfall.
"I never get enough of this place." I murmured, into Rosie's ear.
"Me too."
We walked to the grass patch, hand in hand. Georgia had ran ahead, and was currently chasing her tail. I giggled at her.
She wrapped her arm around me, and I did the same for her. She pulled my playfully down to the ground from the back. We both laughed.
The grass was so soft and so green.
I looked up above, at the small hole, just above where we were sitting. I'd never noticed it before.
The clouds looked black and angry now, as small drops started to fall from the sky.
They splattered around us loudly, and one landed on Georgia. She yelped, and ran to me.
"Shhh. . .Its just rain!" I said, and rubbed her back.
My hair dripped in my face. It was soaked.
"Rosie?"
"Yeah Em?" she asked.
"Will you tell me. . .What's it like when you smell human blood?" I asked. Sometimes Rosie didn't seem like a Vampire to me. I even forgot sometimes.
"Hmmm. . . You feel a rich burning in your throat, and a sort of frenzy begins." ( last part sound familiar?) she hesistated. "And when you taste it, its almost impossible to stop."
I nodded. "So your suffering to be around me?"
The rain filled the silence, as we got wetter and wetter.
"Not suffering. . .Enduring." she said. "I could never hurt you. Ever."
I nodded again. "And tell me. . .How do you become a Vampire? You told me when I was little, but you never told me specifics."
She hesitated, and looked straight ahead. Maybe I shouldn't have asked her that.
"Rosie you don't have-" I began, but she cut me off.
"No, no. You have to find out one way or another." she said, not meeting my eyes. "Your body just has to meet with another Vampires venom. Carlisle bit all of us, except for Bella, in which Edward injected his venom into her heart."
"Why?"
"Because having Renesmee human nearly killed her." she murmured.
"Oh. . .And what's it like . . know. . .when the venom spreads." I asked I could tell this was a extremely touchy subject for her.
Georgia began chasing her tail again, not minding the rain anymore.
My hair is dripping in my face.
"It's excruatingly painful. Your wishing for death to come, and when it doesn't, you beg. It doesn't help to scream." she said, looking at one spot on the grass. She then looked up to watch my reaction.
"Oh. . .Mmmm. . ." I murmured.
"Come here." she said, automatically lighting up the mood, and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.
We lay in silence, and the rain slowly eased. The clouds were even beginning to go white and fluffy. Very rare for Forks.
Rosie's phone buzzed, and she dug around in her wet bag to look for it.
"Yeah Alice?" she said.
"Really?"
"Ok. Didn't see that coming eh?" she laughed. "Em will love to see it. Its about time."
She listened for a bit. "Ok Al, your babbling." she laughed, then shut off her phone.
"Hey Em?" she said, smiling her pretty smile.
"Yep?"
"You know how when you were young, you asked to see me in the sun?" she said.
"Mmmm. . ."
"Well now's you chance. The sun's going to come out soon." she laughed.
This is gonna be the coolest thing.
Georgia climbed up onto my lap, and barked at me. I laughed at her.
We both sat up, and I tried to get the water out of me still dripping hair.
"You ready?"
Rosie took off her jacket, and underneath she was wearing a white spaghetti strap singlet.
The sun washed over me, and hit Rosie fast. I looked over at her, and suddenly, she was sparkling.
It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. There were no words for it.
The light bounced off her face and shoulders, and I gazed at her in ore.
Her eyes were closed, and she seemed perfectly at ease.
She reminded me of a shining diamond. I wondered if every other family member looked like this.
Rosalie's POV
My phone buzzed loudly, and I whipped it out. On the screen it read: Alice.
"Yeah Alice?" I asked.
"Hey Rose! Guess what, the sun's gonna come out very very soon!"
"Really?" I asked. I didn't see that one coming.
"Yeah so I thought you should know that. . ." she said.
"Yep. Didn't see that one coming eh?" I laughed. "Em will love to see it. Its about time."
And it really was. Em has lived with us for 5 years now. He should really know what we look like in the sun.
"He's lived with us for so long, and yet, he hasn't seen us in the sun yet! Unbelievable! And plus, it doesn't rain that much in Ireland, so he'll see us anyway-"
"Alice, your babbling." I laughed. she tended to do that a lot.
"Oh sorry, ha!" she said hysterically, then hung up the phone.
I put my phone in my bag, and shook around my wet hair. "Hey Em?" I said smiling. I was quite excited to be honest.
"Yep?" he said, pure curiosity in his voice.
"You know how when you were young, you asked to see me in the sun?" "Mmmm. . ." he murmured.
"Well now's you chance. The sun's going to come out soon." I laughed.
Georgia climbed onto his lap, and I removed my jacket, to reveal my white spaghetti strap singlet.
"You ready?" I asked, throwing my head back, and closed my eyes, to await the sun.
I felt it on my eye lids. It made me see orange. I couldn't see Em's reaction. I was too busy basking in the beautiful, but rare, sunlight.
We lay in this same postiton for 10 minutes, until it was time to go back home, and get ready for Ireland.
"Hey Em?" I said, my eyes opening slowly. "We should really be getting home now."
I heard Georgia whimper, and I stood up, to run back home.
"That was so so beautiful Rosie." he whispered, when he was on my back.
"Thanks. Glad you liked it Baby." she laughed, as we glided through the forest.
