I wake up and Emmett isn't there. I had been hoping to wake up to him. I feel lost being in his bed, all alone. I hear a door open and I sit up. Emmett comes in the room. He comes in from his bath room and I smile. He hadn't left me.
"Did I wake you?" he asks. He sounds distressed and I smile and shake my head 'no'. he sits down on the bed and gives me a kiss.
"Good morning Emmett," I say quietly.
"Morning star shine," he says.
"The earth says hello," I say. Emmett grins and kisses me again.
"I was hoping you knew that," he whispers into my neck.
"Of course I do," I say. I pull away and pretend to be offended that he thought I might not know that saying. He smiles and chuckles; I can't help but smile back.
"I'll miss you Rose," he says, standing up and starting to get dressed. I stand up and look at him.
"Then don't leave," I insist.
"I have to go," Emmett says. "You can't stop me."
"But I don't want you to," I say.
"Don't you think I know that?" he asks, getting frustrated. "But he's still out there, Rosalie. He still wants you dead. Heck, he wants me dead! We won't be happy until he's gone."
"You're going to kill him," I say. I had never said it out loud before. I knew Emmett had a past of killing, but I never really spoke about it.
"Yes," Emmett says. He glances at a bag that I didn't notice before. I don't look inside of it but I suspect it has some changes of clothes, money and all the weapons he thinks he may need inside of it. I hear a sob escape my mouth. I sit on the bed and put my head in my hands.
"Rose…" Emmett says. I look up at him, in time to see him wipe a tear off his cheek.
"Emmett, what if you get hurt?" I ask.
"I won't," he says.
"But how do you know?" I whine. I feel like a little child; begging her daddy not to go to war, or her mommy not to go on a business trip or her older brother to not get in the car with his drunken friends.
"Royce isn't like me, Rose," Emmett says. He sits down and rubs my back. "He has people kill for him; I've been one of those people. He can't fight for himself. I'll be fine, I promise."
"Can you not go?"
"I'm going, it's the only way I can be sure of your safety."
"Screw my safety; I'm worried about your safety."
"I'm going to be fine."
"Can you not say that? It makes me worry more!" I exclaim and throw up my hands in frustration. I lay back wards onto the bed and stare at the ceiling. He's looking at me, smiling.
"What?" I ask. He leans down and kisses me.
"You're naked still," he whispers in my ear. I sit up and actually look at myself for the first time since I woke up. I am naked still… and so is he. Well, he just had to point that out didn't he?
"We're not done with this conversation," I manage to say.
"Uh huh," he mumbles as we go at it again. When we stop I finally look at the clock. It's almost noon time.
"Aw shit!" I exclaim and I jump up and pull on last night's pajamas.
"What is it Rose?" Emmett asks. He sits up, a lazy smile on his face. Well I must admit that, that was fun; I could definitely get used to it.
"It's Christmas morning and we've been up here all day," I say. I comb my fingers through my hair, trying to make it look reasonable. One thing I don't want to leave this room with right now is sex hair.
"So?" Emmett asks laughing. "This family doesn't open presents until night and in the morning Esme just cooks for our early dinner/late lunch."
"Yeah, but I should be helping her, it's the polite thing to do," I insist. Emmett stands up and wraps his arms around me.
"Trust me," he says. "She likes to be alone in the kitchen."
"Fine, I trust you," I say. "But I'm getting dressed, before some one like Alice or worse… my brother, gets suspicious and comes up here."
"Fine," he whispers. He kisses me on the neck and lets me go. I smile at the victory and open his door. The coast seems clear and I sneak down the hall way towards my room. I open my door and shut it behind me. I lean against it and slide down until I'm sitting on the floor. I smile and close my eyes.
"Yep, she has sex hair," someone says and my eyes fly open. There, on my bed, Alice is sitting cross legged, flipping through my Vogue magazine. Bella is in her chair, next to the bed, reading Salems' Lot. We both love that book, it's our bible and our guide to vampire killing… just in case.
"No I don't, Alice," I say. I stand up and go to the mirror above my dresser. Okay, maybe I do… a little.
"So, you and Emmett finally did the nasty," Bella says. I turn and look at her. She hasn't even looked up from the book. I blush any way; it's not like I can help it, it's embarrassing that she knows.
"What do you mean, finally?" I ask, trying to sound nonchalant and bad ass.
"Rose, you little virgin," Alice says. She stands up on the bed and jumps off, landing right in front of me. "We know the look."
"What look?" I ask.
"The 'Oh my God I just had sex for the first time' look," Bella says. She's finally put the book down.
"Good part?" I ask. She nods and hands it to me. Ah, the cut away stairs… awesome.
"Now, spill," Bella says. "Please tell me that my big brother doesn't stink in the sack." My eyes widen and she laughs. "I'm kidding Rose," she assures me.
"So, Bella and I have something important to discuss with you," Alice says. I look at her doubtfully. "It really is important."
"Fine, what is it?" I ask. I walk into my bathroom and start to get undressed. I leave the door open so while I'm in the shower I'll still be able to talk to them.
"Baby names," Bella says. I turn on the shower and step in once the water is hot enough.
"She's having two boys," Alice says.
"When did you find that out?" I ask.
"This morning," Bella says. "Edward couldn't wait any longer. Even though I'm due in a month… January 28th."
"Wow, impatient," I say.
"Tell me about it," Alice says.
"We were going to wait, but Edward caved when Carlisle told us he could tell us," Bella says. "Obviously Carlisle has known for awhile now and Esme has already bought matching little boy outfits."
"It's really funny, there's a two boxes full, one for each of the babies," Alice says.
"So what do you think about names?" Bella asks. "I was thinking Edward, but of course, Edward says if we name one of them after him than the other could feel left out."
"No," I say. "I bet he just doesn't want his poor kid to grow up with his ridiculous name." Alice laughs and after a second I hear Bella chuckle as well.
"Imagine all the things we call Edward… Edwad, Edweird, Edwaldo… do you want either of your kids to go through that?" I ask.
"I do not, now that you put it that way," Bella says, still laughing. I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around myself. I leave the bathroom and stand in front of the closet, looking at my clothes options.
"What about, Jonathon?" Alice asks.
"No," Bella says.
"Cameron," Alice suggests.
"No," Bella says.
"Chris, Andrew," Alice says
"No," Bella says again.
"Frankie, Charles, Kenny, Adam, Nick" Alice lists.
"No, no, no, no, no," Bella rejects all five.
"David and Connor," I say.
"Hey… I like those," Bella says.
"How did you do that?" Alice asks. I smirk and simply laugh.
"Well, which should be which?" Bella asks.
"I think David should be the one that looks the most like Edward," I say.
"Yeah, and Connor can be who looks the most like you," Alice says.
"That sounds good… hey the four of us will be B, C, D & E," Bella says. I smile and pull my blouse and jeans on. Alice nods in approval at my choice and I laugh. I hear a knock on the door and I open it. There are the boys. Jasper just walks right in and Edward follows.
"Yes, come in, boys," I say. I look at Emmett and smile shyly. He's standing in the door way looking nervous.
"What?" I ask. He pulls me out into the hall way and shuts the bed room door.
"Do they know?" he asks.
"Yeah… Alice and Bella said I had sex hair and 'the look'," I say. I use air quotes when I mention 'the look'. It's may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
"Oh… Edward and Jasper said that too," Emmett said. I smirk and then it hits me… he had 'the look' so that means.
"You were a virgin!" I ask. He looks down and smiles.
"Well yeah, you didn't think I was though so I obviously wasn't going to admit it," Emmett says. I laugh and he grins, a big childish grin.
"Come on," I say. "I have to do my hair before it dries." I open the door to my bed room and see Bella talking excitedly to Edward about naming the twins Connor and David. Edward seems to like the names just as much. Alice is tapping her foot, impatiently, holding my hair brush and blow dryer. I should have known she would want to do my hair. Jasper is lounging in the desk chair, looking annoyed. I don't think he notices, but I see him glare at Emmett. Well now, I suppose I'm going to have to have a talk with him.
Heeheehee. So, I liked that chapter. It was a nice little fill in. Those baby names are cute too. Please review and vote about how Royce dies. I need more votes, it's currently tied.
