I woke up hot and alone. Seeing that it was nine in the morning, I knew that Emmett would have already left to go to the construction site. Hoisting myself out of bed, I went out into the hall, into the bathroom, and started the shower. Noticing that Molly had yet to greet me this morning, I knew that Emmett took her with him to the fire station. As I went to grab a towel for my shower, I realized that I was still naked and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of last night. Emmett had really broken me out of my shell. Three years ago I would have never been that bold or comfortable in the bedroom, but Emmett never pushed me. Everything was set at the pace I wanted, and for that I am grateful. As I grabbed a towel, I went into the steaming bathroom, and hopped in the shower.

When I stepped out of the shower and began to dry off, I noticed a note written in condensation on the mirror. I love you. A smile came to my face thinking about Emmett stepping out of the shower this morning and taking the time to scribble this on the mirror. This was the side of him the only I knew. If I told Alice about this, she would think I was lying. But I love that he has all of these sides to him and I know every one. It is like I am the only one who knows the real him.

I dried off and put on my robe. I walked around our room starting my daily routine of picking up the clothes that Emmett and I had thrown around last night. As I went to put them in the hamper, my cell phone rang. Hoping it was Emmett, I almost ran to it.

"Hello." I said not even looking at the screen.

"What are doing today?" I couldn't help but feel disappointed at the sound of Alice's voice at the other end.

"I have no plans." I said grabbing the hamper and walking down to the basement towards the washer.

"Good, you can come shopping with me today. Amelia needs new clothes." I should've saw that coming. I should have said I was busy. Yes I love shopping, but shopping with Alice was a completely different. She didn't how to stop!

"Fine, but under three conditions."

"What are those?"

"You drive, I have already struggled with my truck enough. Bella and Nessie come as well, and we stop at my house before we go."

"You run a hard bargain, but I will be at your house in 30 mins." She said before she hung up.

Looking down at my appearance I knew thirty minutes was not enough. I quickly dropped the hamper and ran up the stairs to blow dry my hair. I wasn't really planning on going anywhere, so I was in a messy bun at the moment and that was just not acceptable. Once I had blown my hair straight, ran to the closet looking for the best outfit to wear. Realizing I didn't know the weather report, I turned on the Weather Channel. Seeing that I was going to be 80 and windy, I dressed accordingly. Throwing on a pair of white linen pants, and a peach tee, I pulled my hair back into a pony tail. No need to have that blowing in my face all day. As I was putting on mascara, the door bell rang.

"You're not even ready." Alice said as I opened the door to let her and Amelia in.

"Good morning to you too." I said sarcastically before I turned around to find a pair of shoes.

"I told Bella we would meet her downtown in an hour." She yelled as I ran down the hall.

"Okay. Okay. Just give me a minute." I said looking for a pair of heels. Once I had found them, I put on a shrug, grabbed my Givenchy leather bag, and walked to the living room.

"I'm ready." I said.

"About time." Alice replied standing and began walking towards the front door.

"Alice, I have waited a lot longer than that for you before." I said walking outside and locking the front door, not that anyone would break in. I learned in a town this small, no one locked their door, everyone was welcome. I think I am the only house where that rule didn't apply. Having lived in Los Angeles and the press invading my privacy, I locked every door in our house.

"When did you have to wait for me?" She asked putting Amelia in her car seat.

"Um how about the Valentine's Day dinner? I think everyone waited an hour for you to pick the right bracelet. Or what about the anniversary dinner we threw for your parents?"

"Hey I was pregnant for that! And nothing seemed to fit." She defended pulling out of the driveway.

"I just saying. Hello pot meet kettle." I said pointing my finger to both her and I.

The house we were building was only three miles away from the one we where currently living in now. Alice made it to the site in a matter of minutes. As we stepped out of the car, I noticed there where less workers here than yesterday, and the one's who where here stopped to look at as we exited the car. Men. As I walked towards the house, the contractor came out to meet us.

"Mrs. McCarty how are you this morning?" Our contractor Aro asked. I am not going to lie, I loved it everytime he called me Mrs. McCarty.

"I am fine. Aro this is my best friend Alice Whitlock. Alice this is our contractor Aro from Volturi Construction. He is over seeing the building of our house." I said plainly introducing the two of them. Aro was good at what he does, but there is a part of me that is kinda freaked out by him. He wasn't physically intimidating. He was a frail man that stood about six feet tall and looked ten years older than he actually was. But there was something about him, that put me on edge. He always gave me this smile that made my skin want to crawl.

"It is wonderful to meet you Ms. Whitlock." He said turning his smile onto Alice. God this man was a creep. "And who do we have here?" He asked pointing to Amelia.

"This is my daughter Amelia." Alice said pulling Amelia closer to her. My eyes widened as I saw Aro reach out to touch her. No way was he getting his dirty hands on that little baby, I thought.

"Aro!" I yelled bringing his attention back towards me. "We don't have much time. I just have a few questions, and I will let you get back to work. Did you talk to the company about the exterior stone?"

"Yes, they should be shipping the right one tomorrow, and before you ask the electrician is in there right now fixing the mistake."

"Good. How far behind are we?"

"You sound just like your husband this morning." He said smiling at me. A tight smile spread across my face, he was changing the subject. "He was so serious, today. You need to tell him to lighten up, have some fun." I heard Alice scoff at this comment.

"That didn't answer my question, Aro." I said bringing him back on topic.

"As it stands right now we are about four months behind schedule." Aro said quietly as if I wouldn't hear him.

"Four months?" I asked louder. He cringed and nodded his head. "Yesterday, you said two."

"You know how these things go one thing gets fixed another gets broken." He said shrugging with that creepy smile on his face. I was this close to cussing him out. This stupid prick thought he could pull a fast one on me. "But don't worry your pretty little head about it, Rose. I have already talked to your husband."

I stepped towards him about to give him a piece of my mind, when I felt something squish beneath my right shoe. Looking down, I saw that I had stepped in mud. FUCK! Not only was it on my shoe but also the hem of my white pant leg.

"Let me go get you something to clean up with." Aro said running towards the house. He came back with a wad of paper towels in seconds, obviously trying to impress me. It wasn't working. Bending down, I wiped the mud off of my shoe and got what I could off of my pants. By this point, I was pissed and fed up.

"You know what Aro. I am in a little bit of a hurry, so I will just come back tomorrow. I am sure you will have better news for me then." I said not really leaving him a choice.

"Of course." He said as I turn around to walk back to the car. Once Alice had strapped her daughter in, we where pulling out of the unpaved driveway.

"That man is creepy." Alice said.

"Tell me about it. I told Emmett that once. He laughed at me." I said remembering that moment. Emmett told me that I worry to much.

"That's because Emmett isn't scarred of anyone." I nodded my head as we pulled onto a main road. I looked down and couldn't stop the frown the came to my face.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked.

"I think I ruined my new Jimmy Choo's." I whined.

When we made it to the baby boutique as Alice likes to call it, Bella was walking around the toddler section with Nessie. I walked towards her as Alice went straight towards the infant area.

"Find anything?" I asked sneaking up on her. She jumped almost a foot off the ground.

"Good heavens, you scared me." She said turning to face me.

"Good heavens?" I said pointing out her dated lingo. She rolled her eyes and went back to looking through the racks.

"So what have you two been up to this morning?" She asked as I rubbed to top of Nessie's head greeting her.

"Not much, just went to go see the house, hence the mud on my right pant leg." She looked down at the stain.

"Rose, why would you wear white pants and heels to a construction site?"

"Because we where going shopping afterwards." I said as if it was obvious.

"You don't have to wear heels everytime you go shopping."

"Yes I do. I have to look presentable. Anyways I think my $1000 shoes are ruined."

"Rose, you spent a $1000 on shoes. That my mortgage!" She whisper yelled.

"Now you are making me feel bad." I said holding up a cute yellow dress for Nessie.

"I'm just saying that's a lot of money. And Nessie would never wear that." She said pointing to the dress.

"Why not it's cute."

"She doesn't like dresses." She said shrugging.

"Okay." I said putting it back on the rack. "So how has life been?"

"Same as always writing, taking care of Nessie, and cleaning our house."

"You need a vacation. Shit, I need a vacation."

"Rose!" She yelled turning back at me.

"What?" I asked surprised by her public outburst.

"You can't curse." She said pointing to her daughter. "She is repeating everything she hears."

"Oops." I said trying to suppress a smile. Hearing Nessie say shit would be kinda funny.

"How long do you think we are going to be here?" Bella asked already bored with the idea of shopping and it had only begun.

"I dunno, but if we leave it up to Alice, we won't leave till tomorrow morning. So I say we make her leave in an hour and a half."

"You think she needs that much time?" She asked. Bella has always been very laid back, and Alice is very high strung. I always find myself being the liaison between the two, because I can understand both sides. But knowing that Bella will never understand Alice's need to shop, I changed the subject.

"Did Edward come home with a whole fish last night?"

"No."

"Do you want one?"

After Alice had practically bought ever romper the store owned, we decided to pay Esme a visit. As we pulled up to the big white house, a sense of nostalgia over took me. It was here where my life changed three years ago. This is where my life took a turn for the better. When I stepped out the car, I saw Emmett's big Jeep. What's he doing here?

As we walked through the garage and into the kitchen, my question was answered. There was my husband sitting at the bar on the island with his back towards me eating. I tiptoed right behind him and whispered in his ear.

"Why do I feel like you are cheating on my with Esme's cooking?"

"Probably because I am. It is just to good to resist." I laughed, leaned in, and kissed his cheek.

"Oh wow. I am just getting surprise visit from everyone today." Esme said entering the kitchen noticing both Alice, Bella, Amelia, Nessie and I standing there.

"Who else is here beside Emmett?" Bella asked placing her daughter next to Em.

"Carlisle and Edward are down stairs with Jasper sharing stories about the trip. Emmett here decided food was more important."

"I didn't want to embarrass you dad." Emmett said leaning down to Nessie.

As Esme went to go get her granddaughter from Alice's arms, I heard my cell phone ring. Throwing my bag on the counter, and pulled my cell out and hit talk.

"Hello."

"Hey Rose. How are you?"

"I am good, Kate you?" Kate had been my assistant now for over two years. She was fun to be around and good at her job.

"Great. Garrett and I just moved in together."

"Kate, that is great. I am so happy for you. Let know when you are having a house warming party." At hearing the words party, Alice was immediately at my side asking when it was, and Emmett rolled his eyes, stood up, and left the room.

"I will definitely let you know. But I called for a reason."

"What's up?"

"You have been invited to a charity ball in New York next weekend. And I think it is a good idea you go. You have been out of the spotlight ever since you got married, and this is a good way to ease you back into it."

"Which charity is this?" I asked.

"It's for the national Children's Hospital. They are holding an auction to build a new cancer wing."

"How much are tickets?"

"They run $1000 a seat and $6000 for a table of eight."

"Okay. I will call you back by tonight to let you know if I will go and how many tickets to get."

"Okay talk to you then." She said before she hung up. I took a deep breath as I put my phone back in my bag. Going to New york meant going to see my mother. And although Emmett has met her once, the wedding, I wanted them to see each other as little as possible. She thought Emmett was unworthy of my presence, and he thought she was the devil incarnate. He told me after the wedding he never wanted to see her again. It was that bad.

"What was that about?" Bella asked.

"There is charity ball in New York next weekend. Kate thinks I should go." I said sitting on the stool Emmett had occupied.

"You don't seem very happy about going to the Big Apple."

"That's because my mother is in the Big Apple." Bella noticeably flinched at the thought of my mother. She didn't really get along with anyone when she was here.

"Just because you are going there doesn't mean you have to see her." Esme said trying to be supportive.

"If she found I was in the same city she's in and didn't see her, there would be hell to pay."

"So don't go." Alice added.

"I have been working with this hospital for years. I can't not go." I said standing and walking out of the room. As I walked down the stairs, I heard the men talking about sports. Figures.

"I'm telling you. This year the Titans are going all the way."

"You're full of shit Emmett." I heard Jasper say.

"With the line up the Bengals have now, I think they have a shot." Carlisle said calmly as I made it to the landing at the bottom of the stairs.

"And with the egos they have, I think their fucked." Emmett said taking a sip out of his beer. It was then that Carlisle noticed me standing there, looked at Emmett and tilted his head towards me. Emmett looked over his shoulder and saw me. I tried to give him a reassuring smile, but I knew he could see threw it.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked. He was immediately on his feet and I started walking back up the stairs. Once we made it out to the back porch, I turned and faced him. His face was blank, as if he was waiting for bad news, and boy he was going to get it.

"Kate called." I said starting the conversation.

"I heard."

"She wants me to go to New York for a charity ball." I said quietly looking at me feet.

"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Going to New York for a ball. Babe if you want to go, go." He said not really catching the point. "Are you asking me to go with you?"

I could have reminded him that my mother was in New York, but it seemed so much easier just to tell him yes.

"It would be nice." I answered. I will tell him after he agrees to go. "I know you don't have to work."

"If you want me there, I will be there." He said smiling and pulling me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around him, and put my face into his chest. I felt him kiss the top of my head. It was now or never.

"And maybe while we are there, we could see my mother." I mumbled into his chest hoping he didn't hear.

"What?" He said in a low voice pulling away from me. Not Good.

"Well we are going to be there anyway, and she would be pissed if I was in town and didn't see her."

"Rose." Emmett said before he ran his hand over his face. "I don't care how you mother feels."

"I know, but it would keep her from coming here to visit." I said trying anything to get him to agree.

"I dunno. I was serious when I said I never wanted to see her again."

"I know you were. I mean I guess I could go see her by myself." He huffed.

"I am not comfortable with the idea of you going by yourself either, so I guess I am going with you." I'm not surprised he fells that way. Any phone conversation that my mother and I have ends with me either crying or yelling. Who knows what is going to happen when it is face to face.

"Really?" I asked surprised I got him to cave.

"Yes, but it is going to be over lunch. I don't want to spend more than an hour with that she devil."

"Okay whatever you want." I said knowing shouldn't push my luck. "Maybe we could make a trip out of it. Go on a romantic dinner. Alice and Jasper could come? Even Bella and Edward? It would be like a mini vacation."

"That could be fun." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Thank you." I said stepping forward and wrapping my arms around him. "I know you don't want to do this."

"You're right. I don't. But if you want me there I will be there." He said making me feel guilty.

"You're making me feel like I'm forcing you to go."

"I know you're not." He laughed wrapping his arms around me again. "But I do wish you told about your mother first before trapping me into going."

"I meant to, but then you asked if I wanted to go."

"It's fine." He said letting me go and leading me into the house. When we walked into the kitchen, the men had come up from their 'man cave.' I walked away from Emmett, and went stand by Alice and Bella.

"So how do you fell about going to New York next weekend?" Alice immediately turned around with a smile on her face and fist pumped the air.

"Yes!" She yelled. I would bet my life she was thinking about shopping right now. Bella on the other hand looked nervous.

"I dunno." She said quietly.

"Come Bells if would be fun," Emmett said trying to convince her.

"Think about all the museum's you and Nessie could go too." I said hoping that would sway her.

"I think Edwards has to work." She said trying to find an out.

"Edward," I yelled.

"Yea."

"Do you have to work next weekend?"

"No I worked yesterday."

"We're going to New York!" Alice yelled throwing her hand up.

I looked over at Carlisle and Esme, and smiled at them.

"You're more than welcome to come." I said.

"I wish I could, but I have a surgery that can't be moved." Carlisle said.

"I go where he goes." Esme said making us all laugh.

That night Esme cooked us all lasagna, and we sat around the table making plans for the next weekend. I thanked who ever was up there looking out for me that I didn't have to cook that fish in the fridge. As Emmett and I left to go home, Alice was still talking about all the shops she wanted to go to.

"You know Alice thinks that Aro is creepy two." I said as Emmett drove the dark roads home.

"You went to the house?"

"Yep?"

"I was wondering why your pant leg was muddy." He said laughing.

"It's not funny."

"Rose, who wears white and heels to a construction site."

"I was going shopping after!"
