"Rose, please don't do this. I love you, you can't leave me. Please." I begged. My wife Rosalie decided that she was going to leave me. Couple of days ago, a strange man came to our door in Alaska and told Rose that he could change her back to human, and she could have a baby.
Of course there were some rules to this. She had to leave with him, and could never come back to see me. Well the man said that he would give her a baby, and she agreed.
"Emmett, I'm sorry, but I have to do this. If you love me you would let me go so that way I can have a baby and be happy. I'm sorry." Rose said, and with that she grabbed her little suitcase and left with the man. I would never see my Rose again.
I heard them walk to the car, get in and drove off. That second my family was surrounding me. I didn't say anything and I didn't move. Just standing there looking and staring at the front door hoping that my Rose would return. Silently begging for her to return. Soon minutes turned to hours and hours turned into days and she never returned.
OCTOBER
She's gone. It's been two months. She will never return.
NOVEMBER
"Uncle Emmett, will you go hunting with me? Everyone else is busy." My niece Renesmee asked me. I was sitting on the couch staring blankly at the television screen not paying attention to the game that was going on.
"No, sorry Renesmee, I'm not thirsty." I've been giving excuses so I didn't have to interact with anyone.
DECEMBER
"Merry Christmas!" Esme exclaimed. Everyone cheered, and they were standing around the Christmas tree that was filled with presents. I was alone on the couch watching everything happen, but the only thing I could think about was Rosalie.
FEBRUARY
Today sucks. It just plain ol' sucks! It's Valentine's Day and Carlisle has Esme, Alice has Jasper, Edward has Bella, Renesmee has Jacob, and I have no one. I'm all alone.
APRIL
Ha, this month sucks worse than the rest. Today could be the worst day of my life. If Rose was still here, then it would be our 50th anniversary.
MAY
I got papers in the mail. They were official divorce papers with her signature. If I could cry, I would be balling my eyes out about now.
JUNE
I overheard Alice talking to Esme and Bella. She was telling them about a vision she saw 2 weeks ago. Rosalie was marring that guy who came and destroyed my life, and she was pregnant and was due in July. Well, my life SUCKS!
JULY
Alice told me that today Rosalie gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Then I got news that we will be moving and starting a new life. It's about time we did because it's been awhile and now Renesmee can start school. We are going a little town about 2 hours from Forks, called Adrian Washington.
"Emmett, we are starting over, you'll start from scratch, and you will have everyone behind you helping you through this." Alice said. Jasper had his hand on my shoulder and was sending me reassurance waves.
"Emmett, please try and be happy now. We built a brand new house, and we are starting a new life. I don't want one of my children being unhappy." Esme said.
"Yes mom, how long have you all been planning this move?" So now it felt like my whole family was leaving me.
"Sweetie, we've been planning this since Christmas, it was Carlisle's gift to the whole family." Esme said.
"And you all planned not to tell me about this move? Were you all going to leave me?" I yelled.
"Emmett, we told you about this Christmas day! You just shrugged it off like everything else since the day Rosalie left you!" Edward yelled back at me.
"Edward." Bella said. She grabbed Edwards arm and was pulling him out of the room. "Come on Edward, we should help put all the boxes in the moving vans." She finally managed to pull him out of the room.
"Em, please. This family was broken when Rosalie left, and it broke even more when you stopped talking to us. Do you want to be part of this family?" Carlisle said.
"Of course I do, I love you all." I said, why would they think that I would not love them?
"Then come on, be happy, be part of this family once again. We got rid of all her stuff, and it's time for you to move on now. She's somewhere else now, and she's happy, and remember, she has a baby now." Carlisle said.
"Alright, what do you need my help with?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.
AUGUST
We finally were all settled into our new home. This house was really big. It was 3 stories tall, and was very open. Esme and Carlisle get their own room, Jasper and Alice were right next to them, Edward and Bella were across from Jasper and Alice, with Renesmee right next to them, Jacob next to her, and I was across from Edward and Bella and next to Jasper and Alice. It was a long hallway, and at the end of the hallway was Esme and Carlisle. Every room had a huge walk-in closet, huge private bathroom and they all came with a king size bed.
Down the road a bit, where some neighbors since we couldn't get property all by ourselves away from everyone but we were around a bunch of woods, so it would be easy for us to go hunt.
We were putting the final touches like putting candles in places and stuff like that when the doorbell rang.
"Emmett could you please get that, we are busy in here." Esme said.
"Sure thing." I got up from the couch where I was watching the Pitt vs. North Carolina game, and went to our very large, oak door. I opened it up and there stood a really beautiful girl.
She looked to be about 17 years old, had long brown wavy hair, she was about 5'10, was a bit on the chubby side, but it was the eyes that was the most beautiful the most. They were a mixture of blue, green, hazel and grey. The other thing that instantly caught my attention was her scent. She was even better smelling than Bella. My throat was burning and then I told myself not to pay attention to her scent but to her features. Even though she was on the chubby side, it seemed to fit her, like her being super skinny was not for her. She had on dark wash skinny jeans and a long sleeve that was green with the writing "Bulldogs Basketball" in white.
She looked at me and smiled. "Hi, I'm Noelle Harrington, I live down the road from you guys, and I thought that I would come over introduce myself, because my dad met your dad at the hospital and my dad told me that your dad told him all about his family, so my dad told me to come and talk to you because you guys are my age." She was blushing, and she looked so cute when she blushed.
I chuckled, "Wanna come in and meet the rest of the Cullen's?" Then I remembered that I never told her my name. "Oh, I'm Emmett by the way." I opened the door for her to walk in.
"Emmett Cullen." She was saying my name as if she was trying it out. "I like it, it fits you perfectly. Wow, your house is very nice." I put my arm on her back and led her through the foyer and to the living room where everyone was at work. I felt her shiver a bit at my cool touch, and I mentally scolded myself or touching her. Out of the corner of my eye I could tell she was studying me and blushed when she saw I was watching her.
"Everyone, this is our neighbor, Noelle, Noelle this is my mother Esme, my brothers and sisters, Edward, Bella, Renesmee, Jacob, Alice, and Jasper. My dad, Carlisle is at the hospital." I pointed everyone out to her and her jaw dropped a little. I don't think she was planning on meeting 7 kids in one household. Especially since we all looked so close in age.
"Hi nice to meet you all. Sorry, but my mom wants me home, I have basketball in a few minutes, I just wanted to drop bye and say hi. Um, do you think I could come over tomorrow and get to know you all better? I don't have basketball tomorrow, and I would really like to meet you all." She looked a bit nervous, and I felt bad for her.
"Of course you can. We would love if you could come back over tomorrow. Never be afraid to drop by and say hello. You are always welcomed here." Esme said. Esme and I met eyes, and I nodded because she was telling me to walk her out. Noelle just nodded, and I guided her to the door.
"So come by anytime, okay?" I asked, I really wanted to get to know her better.
"Alright, thanks. Sorry I have to leave, I really wanted to get to know you all, but the team has been working all summer so that this year we can actually win championships." She said, she looked as if she was reliving a memory.
"It's alright; do you have a cell phone?" It was like a need, I needed to talk to her.
"Yeah here, but your number in." She took her phone out of her pocket, and I gave her my Iphone. She had a basic phone, and it was quite easy for me to work. We put our numbers into the phones.
"Alright, I have your number and you have mine. Have fun with your basketball." I said. She nodded, turned and walked down the sidewalk and I saw that she turned into a jog to get home. I saw her walk to her home and through the front door. Not before she turned looked at me and waved.
After she went in, I closed the door and walked back to the living room. This move was going to be interesting.
……………………….
"Alright everyone, we have to get down to business." Carlisle said. "We have to get our stories straight for tomorrow. It's a good thing that Noelle had to go, or else she might have asked, and we have no story right now."
The whole family was sitting around the large mahogany table, with Carlisle and Esme at each end. I was sitting next to Esme, then Jasper with Alice on his lap, Jacob, Carlisle, Edward, Renesmee, and then Bella.
"Alright, Bella and Renesmee, you are sisters whose parents died in a car accident. You were the first people we adopted since we were your godparents. Then we adopted Edward and Jasper, who were best friends at the orphanage, then we adopted Alice, then Emmett, and just two years ago we took Jacob in when his mother died, and just last year we adopted you. Emmett, and Jasper you will be enrolled as juniors, Alice, Edward and Bella will be sophomores, and Nessie and Jacob will be freshman. That way we can stay at least 4 or 5 years. Any questions?" Carlisle asked. We all shook our heads
"Alright, now everyone remember these stories, we cannot mess them up. Tomorrow Esme and I will go down to the high school and get all of you enrolled. All right now that we have that all cleared up, you are all dismissed." Carlisle stood up, and went to his study. Esme went to her room; Edward went to the living room with Nessie to play piano with her. The girls went into the living room too. I went to the garage and worked on my jeep. When I have a lot on my mind, I like to tune it up.
…………………………………….
"Em, are you waiting for Noelle?" Alice asked me. I was sitting on the main staircase near the top, and I could see out the big window above our door and could see if anyone was coming up to the house. Alice was above me at the top with a bit of an amused smile on her lips.
"I am not, I am just thinking." I said. I was not looking her in the eyes because I didn't want her to know that I am lying and that I want to see Noelle so bad.
"Alice, he's lying, he wants to see her." Edward said. He was in the living room and because vampires had a good sense of hearing, he didn't need to yell.
"Edward, Alice, leave him alone." Esme said. Everyone laughed, and I was just staring out the window.
"Don't worry Em, she's coming, I can see it." Alice said. She came and sat next to me and she placed her hand on my leg.
"What else do you see?" I asked. I wanted to know what will happen to us.
"Em, you know my visions. They change, if I tell you what I see know, then you will do something that will change it. But I will give you a hint, she's good for you, don't let her go." With that she stood up and walked down the oak stairs.
After about 45 minutes of waiting, I finally saw her drive up her driveway. I didn't even know she had left. She opened the door, and got out. She was wearing a pair of shorts, and a 'Bulldogs Basketball' shirt, and then reached back in and grabbed her duffle bag. She locked her car and looked at my house, then went back in. After another 45 minutes, I saw her walk out of her house. She lightly jogged to our house, but part way she stopped got her phone out and it looked like she was texting all the way till she got to our driveway then put it down. She walked up and rang the doorbell. I stood up and walked down the stairs and opened the door.
"Hi, come on in." I said, she stepped in and was smiling at me the whole time.
"Thanks, I swear, I love your house so much. It's like a dream home." She was looking around and then her eyes stopped on the photos on the walls of the staircase. "Those photos are really cool." She said. "May I? I nodded and went to the stairs and started looking at them.
In all the photos we were wearing blue and white. We were all wearing blue jeans and blue/white shirts. These were the ones we took right before we moved here. I was wearing blue jeans and a blue and white pinstripe button up with a white shirt underneath. Carlisle was wearing a blue button up; Jasper a white button up with a white shirt underneath, Edward was wearing a plain blue t-shirt. Bella was wearing a white v-neck and a blue cami, Alice was wearing a dress that was blue on the bottom with a white strip on the waist and white above that, Nessie was wearing a blue button up that was buttoned once in the middle and your could see a white cami with some floral lace, Jacob was wearing a light blue button up, and Esme was wearing a navy blue pencil skirt, and a white button up.
The first photo was of all of us, and then the next one was of just the kids, then Esme and Carlisle, then Edward and Bella, Bella and Renesmee, Bella Renesmee and Edward, Alice and Jasper, Renesmee and Jacob, and then one of me and Esme and Carlisle. Then there was another one of all the girls, then one of all the guys, and the last photo was one of the whole family. All throughout the house though we had pictures of different combinations of all of us, and even single ones.
"These are amazing. You all are so model like." She was staring at the photos of the family, and was smiling.
I chuckled a bit, "Thanks," Then we heard some yelling and laughing which only meant there was a family competition going on. "Do you want to go for a walk, knowing my family; it's going to get very loud here."
She looked at me and she was just so beautiful. "Yeah, it's a beautiful day." She walked down the stairs and I followed behind her. I opened the front door. "Why thank you, you fine gentlemen." I laughed as she walked down the sidewalk. I closed the door and followed her.
"So am I rude for wanting to ask about your family? I mean you are all so close to age, and your parents are really young, so they couldn't be your biological parents. Sorry that was rude." She looked down and I could tell that she was blushing.
"That's alright, you will know eventually. Well when Esme and Carlisle first got married, they tried to have a baby but they never could. Then they adopted Bella and Renesmee when their parents died in a car accident and they were their godparents and they had no other family so Carlisle and Esme adopted them. Then they planned on adopting a boy, so when they went to the orphanage they fell in love with Edward and Jasper. Then I, then not too much later Alice and then they took in Jacob when his mother died, and they just legally adopted him. Just the average family." We both laughed and continued our walk. "What about you, what's your family like."
"Well, I have a mom and a dad. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a cardiovascular surgeon so they are gone a lot. I'm the oldest, but I have 5 younger brothers and sisters. There Collin who's 15, then Noah who's 13, Allie who's 10, Alexis who's 6, Arianna who's 3, and then Ryan who's 1. Then we have Duke and Duchess, our dogs." I have to top my hat to them, they have a big family.
"Wow, those are some nice names." I said, Duke and Duchess.
"Hey, when we got them, I was 13 and I loved Middle Ages stuff, especially the Tudors, and I named them from that because King and Queen didn't really go." She laughed at the memory and I couldn't help but smile.
"It's cute, so if your parents are out a lot, who takes care of your siblings?" By the way she talks she spends a lot of time on basketball.
"Um, me and my siblings, and when we are busy we get a babysitter. With a town this small, it's hard to find a babysitter. Then me and Collin know kids from school, so we get them if they aren't busy. You know we have been walking for awhile, maybe we should turn back?" She seemed nervous.
"Sure of course," I said, I put my hand on her back again, which she shivered to a little, and then we crossed the road and started to walk back.
"So is basketball your only sport?" Good Emmett, get to know her.
"Um, no I play lacrosse too. Do you play any sports?" I could tell she was studying me.
"No, but I like to run and workout. So how's basketball?"
"Good, last year we went to the championships, but we lost by 1 point, and it was a crusher. So we spent all spring, when we weren't playing our other sports, and summer by training to get us in shape for next season. Already this whole summer I went to 4 camps just for basketball with my whole team, so I've had barely anytime for myself, but it'll be worth it once we have the championship trophy in our hands." I could tell she was very dedicated to basketball.
"How good are you?" I asked.
"Um, well, not bragging, as a freshman I made varsity and was captain, and I've been captain of varsity since then. I made the Washington All-star team, and already been scouted for colleges." She didn't say it in a way that was bragging, but she seemed proud.
"So are you going to play professionally?"
"No, I want to be a doctor just like my parents, except I want to work with the brain. I don't think I will even play in college; I want to keep my head on medicine. That's the goal." She seemed distant for a moment. Then her hand bumped mine and our hands automatically laced together. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see her smile. Maybe this was a new start to my life.
So this is my new story. I hoped you liked it. Just to let you know, I never like Rosalie so that's why I got rid of her. Tell me if I should keep going.
