"Welcome home." Emmett opened the door and walked into the house behind me and Beth.
I smiled. "Thanks. I think I should but her in her crib. She's fast asleep." I said softly, looking at the little angel asleep in my arms.
"I think someone wants to meet her first." He took her from me reluctantly and lead me into the living room. I was curious about what he ment.
"Miranda!" I smiled and ran over to hug my best friend ever.
"Hey!" she smiled and hugged me back.
"When did you get here?" I asked. We've been best friends since I could remember. We met in middle school but when we were twelve, she moved; leaving both of us devastated. But this was such a surprise! The last time we saw each other was when we were thirteen.
"About an hour ago." She smiled, looking at Beth. "Emmett called me."
"How did you get her number?" I smiled and kissed him.
"She has a FaceSpace." He smiled as Beth moved a little.
I nodded. "We should put Beth's pictures on yours." His face lit up and he nodded.
"Hey, can I hold her?" she asked, plopping down on the sofa.
"Totally!" I smiled as Emmett handed Beth to me and I passed her to Miranda.
"You know, Rosie, it's a good thing she looks like you."
"Be nice." I said as she started crying. Emmett took her.
"I'll put her in bed." He said. "Then go to bed. Don't make me lonely all night." He gave me a quick kiss and carried Beth to her room.
I rolled my eyes and sat down next to Randa on the sofa.
"So how come your not with your dad?" she asked.
I sighed. "I never told anyone this, but… he used to beat me up."
"OMG! I'm so sorry!" she said giving me a hug.
"Not your fault. Emmett makes everything better."
"Good. Because if he doesn't I'll have to break out my gangsterness."
We laughed and sat there, talking until two am.
"I should get to bed." I yawned and stretched.
"Yeah. So should I. Emmett gave me one of the guest rooms." She said as we walked up the stairs.
"Good. Just don't wake up his parents." I said, gave her a hug, and walked into Emmett and my room.
"Bout time." Emmett mumbled. He was holding a pillow in place of me.
I rolled my eyes and crawled into bed next to him, snuggling close.
"So did I surprise you?" he smiled, kissing my head.
I nodded. "Thank you."
"Well here's what I figure, you were in labor for twelve hours with my baby, it's the least I could do."
I smiled and Beth started crying from the other room.
This was going to be a long night.
