"Rosalieeeeeee!" Miranda shook me vigorously, tearing me away from sleep.

"Leave her alone." Emmett mumbled and rolled over so that I was beneath him. I pulled the covers up and tried to go back to sleep, but Miranda just wouldn't let up.

"Get your ass up! Someone is on the phone for youuuu!" she whined.

"You answered my phone?" Emmett asked. We were both exhausted from being up all night with Elizabeth.

"No, idiot. Your mother asked me to come and get her." She said. Emmett rolled off and I sat up and Miranda shoved a phone into my hands.

"Hello?" I said groggily.

"Miss Hale? This is Nurse Jackie Spalding at Forks Hospital. Would you please come down?"

"Wh-why?" I asked.

"We need to make a decision, well, you do." And then the line went dead.

I gasped and Emmett looked at me.

"Baby?" he asked.

"Emmett…. I gotta go to the hospital." I said, jumping up and pulling on m boots.

"Why?"

"Something's wrong with my father. I know it's about him." I said and walked out of the room.

"Wait… maybe we should take Bethie…. This may be the only chance that he gets to see her." Emmett followed.

I nodded and walked downstairs where Emmett's mom was feeding Beth at the kitchen table.

"Morning mom." She smiled.

"Hey. Is she done?" I asked as I got her out of her high chair.

"Yes. She missed mommy."

"What about daddy?" Emmett smiled as he kissed her head. "We won't be home for a while." He called as we walked into the chilly mid-morning October air. Once in the car, we drove the four miles to the hospital.

"Miss Hale?" a nurse said as we walked up.

I nodded, Beth making cute baby noises, resting on my hip.

"Right this way." She walked off down the long white hall, patients' room on every side.

We walked into a room and saw my father lying in a bed. He looked terrible.

"Rosie." He said his voice hoarse.

"Dad…" I replied, fighting back tears. Beth started playing with my hair and Emmett was standing there, still as a bored and silent, behind me.

"She's beautiful." My dad said, looking at Beth.

"Do you… wanna hold her?" I asked. Emmett became stiffer but I ignored her.

He nodded. I walked over and set Beth on his stomach.

"Can we talk to you, Miss Hale?" another nurse asked from the doorway.

I nodded and walked out into the hallway.

"Your father is very sick and we need you to make a decision on weather to prolong his treatment or to end it now."

I let the tears fall down my face. "Wh-what's wrong with him?"

"He has terminal cancer of the kidney. It would have been detected earlier if he had a regular doctor." She replied.

It was from all those years of drinking. "Terminal? How long do you think he would have?"

"Naturally, he should be dead already." She replied. "If we prolong it, it would be hours, days."

I took a deep breath. "Could I think about it?"

She nodded. "We need to make it soon, though."

"Okay." I said, whipped the tears away, and walked back in. "Em, could I talk to him alone?" I asked.

He nodded and took Beth. "Someone needs a diaper change."

Once he was out, I sat down in the chair next to his bed. We sat in silence for a while.

"Emmett seems like a good father." He said after awhile

"He is." I nodded.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked.

"Did the nurses tell you about your health?"

"No."

"You have terminal Kidney cancer. That's why I'm here. They want me to make a decision." I said.

"Oh…" he said.

I nodded a little.

"Rosalie… I know I made your life miserable… maybe this is the best."

"Dad, no you didn't."

"You grew up taking care of me… I couldn't ask for a better daughter. I just… I just wish that I could've been there for you." He said.

"I couldn't have asked for a better life because unlike most of these kids, I know how to take care of myself and others." I said. "I love you dad…"

"I love you too, Rosie. I'm glad you have Emmett… you deserve him. Beth is beautiful."

I smiled threw a few tears. "Yeah."

"So, go sign that paper." He smiled

I shook my head.

He cringed. "It… hurts… so bad."

I started crying and Emmett walked in with Beth.

"Miss Hale?" the nurse said.

I gave my father a kiss on the head. "I love you, dad." I said and got up, walking out.

The nurse had paper work in her hand. "Have you made a decision?" she asked.

I nodded. "Were gunna end it."

"It's best…" she said, giving me a hug.

She handed me a paper and a pen and I signed it.

"Rose!" Miranda ran down the hall.

We exchanged a hug and walked back in.

"Hey Bethie." She said, taking her from Emmett.

We were all silent, except for Beth, until the doctor came in. We had a short conversation, gave my father one last hug, and saw the life drain out of him. He was soon pronounced dead. Once the doctor said those words, I felt a part of me die with him.

Hey guys, this is the end! Thank you guys for reading. Love the ending? Hate it? Leave me some love (or hate)!

A/N Hey guys…. Yeah… this is the end of I.H.K.L . after I finish all of my stories on fanfic I'm going to write them manually and then type them. That way you guys get one whole story at a time instead of waiting for another chapter. It's also easier for me to keep up with them. So leave me some love and I'll talk to ya soon!
