Ok I am sorry for the wait, but RL has kicked my butt and it continues to do so. I haven't finished the outline, but I know exactly what I want to happen in the story and I have at least have the first ten chapter outlined. So the last few chapter have been fluff, but the drama starts now.

"Babe, I have to go to work. You have to wake up if you still want to get breakfast together." I felt Emmett's lips kiss my shoulder as I snuggled further into our bed. We had been back from New York for two weeks, and it was nice to be back home. We had not heard from my mother since we stormed out and Emmett made a show of throwing out Heidi's number.

"Five more minutes." I mumbled into the pillow as I turned away from him. He quickly grabbed my shoulder rolling me back towards him. I opened my eyes to see him looking at me as he sat on the edge of the bed in his dark blue firefighters shirt and pants.

"Morning handsome." I said smiling and turning towards him. I will never tell him this because he doesn't need a bigger ego than he already has, but I love seeing him in his uniform. I makes me want to jump him every time.

"Get up." He smacked my ass and stood.

"Your no fun." I said as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood.

"Thats not what you said last night." He commented over his shoulder as he walked out of the room. I heard to front door open and knew that he went to go take out Molly.

"Smart Ass." I yelled hoping he would hear. I thought through what I had to do today, I decided to dress casually. I only had to go to Alice's to decided exactly where we wanted to take this project we had started.

"Rose, hurry up!" Emmett yelled as he walked back into the house. I quickly grabbed a pair a black jeans and threw on a blue button down. After I had brushed my teeth and washed my face, I pulled my hair back into a messy ponytail and slipped on a pair of heels. This may have been the fastest I have ever gotten ready. When I walked out of our bedroom, Emmett was feeding Molly treats.

"You're going to make her fat is you keep doing that." I said. He gives that dog so many treats that she makes a meal out of them everyday.

"I can't help it. She loves them." He said patting her head. "Alright lets go."

He kissed my forehead and lead me outside.

"Well will take your car, just drop me off at the firehouse, I can get a ride home in the morning." He said as he hopped in the drivers side of my truck. I couldn't help but feel disappointed. I hate driving this thing. As soon as we walked into Mary's Diner and sat in our seats, Jessica was at our table.

"What can I get you Emmett?" She asked him completely ignoring that I was here.

"Oh Jess, you know I want the biscuits and gravy." He said rubbing his stomach. Jessica laughed before she turned to me.

"And how about you?"

"Umm." I said as I raised my left hand to pull back some stray hairs. I loved showing off my wedding ring when Jessica was around. It was a reminder that I won and she didn't. "Two eggs over easy with wheat toast."

"Okay, I assume you both want apple juice." She commented as we both nodded our heads. Emmett and I had made a tradition of going to diner twice a week when he had to work, so it wasn't surprising that she knew our orders.

"Will you stop indulging her?" I said as Jess walked away.

"Do you think she will give me her number?" He asked back wiggling his eyebrows. Emmett has yet to let me forget about what I did our last night in New York. He refers to it as the best night of my life, and now every chance he gets he tries to get a woman's number in front of me, hoping for a repeat performance.

"I hope you know that was a one time thing." I answered leaning towards him. That night I was like a woman possessed, and I wanted to make sure that Emmett knew he was mine.

"We'll see about that." He said leaning back in his chair. "So what are you doing today?"

"Meeting with Alice." I said as Jessica dropped off our food. We ate in silence, and after we had paid, walked out to the car.

"Em, I hate driving this thing." I said getting in on the drivers side.

"Why, this truck is awesome."

"It's too big. I can barely park it." I said driving towards the firehouse.

"It just takes some getting used to."

"I have had it for over a month and I still can't do anything with it. I think I may trade it in."

"Okay well let me know and I will go with you." He said as I pulled up to his job. He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over the center console.

"I love you." He said before he kissed my lips.

"I love you too." I replied as he pulled back. "Have fun at work."

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said as he got out of the car and shut the door.

Within minutes I was standing outside of Alice's house knocking on the door. When she answered, she was still in her pajama's with food in her hair.

"You look awful." I said stepping passed her.

"I can't get Amelia to eat." She said running her hands through her hair. She grimaced when she reached the baby food. "It's been a rough morning."

"I can tell." I smiled back at her as I walked into the kitchen. "There you are." I cooed at Amelia who was sitting in her high chair flinging food across the room. She smiled when she saw me and held he messy hands up for me to pick her up.

"You wish." I said to her grabbing a towel and cleaning off her hands. "Has Jasper left already?" I asked Alice as she walked in.

"Yea he has to be at work by 7:45 for his homeroom. He tried to fed her before he left, but no luck." She shrugged.

"So you've been at this for over two hours."

"Yea."

"Maybe she's just not hungry. Just wait till lunch." I said trying to give a spoonful to Amelia, but she wouldn't budge.

"I know, but I don't want a malnourished child." Alice whined.

"Missing one meal does not make her malnourished. But she is bulimic considering she throws up every meal she eats." I joked. Alice didn't laugh.

"I don't have to burp her anymore." She said plainly staring at her daughter.

"Stop worrying. If she was hungry, she would eat. Maybe you feed her to much last night."

"Yea she did eat a lot last night." She smiled.

"Good, you go get dressed and I will clean up." I said before Alice ran to her room. "You better prove me right." I said to Amelia hoping she wasn't sick. If she was, Alice was going to kill me for convincing her otherwise.

After Alice came back down clean and refreshed, we sat on at the kitchen table looking at sketches.

"I think we have enough to make a pitch." I said shuffling through the pages.

"Really? I mean, I could come up with more."

"No I think this is good. Now we just need to figure out our next steps."

"What are our options?"

"We could open our own store in a major city, or pitch the line to department stores and hope they decided to carry it. The later it is the cheapest option." I said.

"What do you think?" She asked.

"I dunno. If we wanted to open a boutique, I'd say it would have to be in NYC, LA, Chicago, or Dallas. We could meet with major department stores in either New York or California so, I say we try to focus on those areas."

"Okay, well I don't think we should put all of our eggs in one basket, so let just try both options. We will schedule meeting and look at real estate."

"I hate to say it, but LA is probably the best option. The news of me opening clothing store will give us more press than we can buy in New York."

"Okay then. Lets go to LA." Alice said.

"I hate LA." I groaned.

To Alice's joy and my relief, Amelia ate lunch. Alice and I took to entertaining her, until Jasper came home.

"Honey, I'm home." He yelled walking in the front door as Alice giggled.

"That's so embarrassing." I said when he enter the living room where we were currently playing with Amelia. "I'm so glad I was here to see that."

"Whatever, your just jealous because Emmett doesn't do that." He said walking towards us.

"That's because he has dignity." He rolled his eyes and went to kiss his daughter.

"And how was my little peanut today?" He said picking her up.

"As feisty as ever." Alice replied running her hands through her hair obviously stressed out.

"Tough day." He commented. Alice nodded. He leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"I am going to go make dinner." Alice said standing. "Would you like to stay?" She asked me.

"Do you want me to stay?" I retorted.

"I'm only making spaghetti, Rose it's nothing special."

"Okay then I will stay." I said as she left the room. I looked at Jasper as tickled Amelia. "She's been really stressed lately."

"I know. I wish I could help more. But I am glad you guys are doing this clothing line. It gives her a way to occupy her time."

"Jasper when is the last time she actually had fun with adults."

"I dunno. In New York shopping with you."

"Jasper that was weeks ago!" I exclaimed. "When was the last time you had fun with adults?"

"I had lunch with Edward today." He commented.

"You've got to be kidding me. You go out and meet with you buddies everyday, and she is cooped up in this house making clothes and taking care of your daughter. No wonder she's tired. She never gets a break." I didn't meant for it come out as straight foreword as it did, but he needed to know.

"I know, and I fell guilty about it."

"Give her a night free. Watch Amelia. Give her a break."

Jasper stood with Amelia in arms and walked into the kitchen. I followed him thinking I had over stepped my bounds, and offended him.

"Babe I was thinking," He said "You and Rose should go out tonight."

"What!" I yelled not seeing that coming.

"Yea, I will watch Amelia and you two should go out." He said.

"I didn't mean tonight." I shook my head at him.

"Rose, stop it." Alice said as after she poured the water off of the pasta. "I get that you get to go out whenever you want, but I don't. And I am going to use this to my advantage. WE'RE GOING OUT!" She yelled as if it was final.

"Yes ma'am." Was my only reply.

"I am so excited." Alice clapped as I drove to the local bar.

"Did you really have to change?" I asked. She dress up for the event, wearing a new dress and heels.

"Yes. I'm not going to go out in the same clothes I had been wearing all day." I looked at my black jeans and shirt I changed into this morning to got to breakfast with Emmett. "Not that you look bad." She added trying to make me feel better.

"It's fine Alice. You can be the hottie and I'll be your ugly friend." I said pulling into the bar.

"Oh please." She hopped out of the truck. I followed her and walked up to her as she staring at my truck.

"Rose did even try to get in the lines?" She asked. I turned to see my truck successfully parked in three spots.

"Whatever I am just happy it is in the lot." I shrugged and walked into the bar.

"Well if it isn't Ms. Cullen. I'm sorry Mrs. Whitlock." Joe the bartender yelled.

"Hi Joe." Alice said as we walked up to the bar.

"And if it isn't the woman who defied all odds and stole Emmett McCarty's heart." He said smiling at me.

"Hey Joe." I replied. Throughout my years here in this small town, I had gotten to know every owner of each shop in town. Joe was my favorite, he never failed to make me laugh and give me booze.

"I hope those men of yours are treating you well." He leaned over the bar and whispered. "If not send them here to old Joe and I will let them meet my shot gun." We laughed at his playfulness. "What can I get cha?"

"And Cosmo." Alice said.

"Long island ice tea."

"Whoa Rosie's going for the big guns." He teased as he made out drinks. I reached in my bag and handed him my card.

"Put it on my tab." I said as he took it and nodded.

"Rose you don't have to do that." Alice said as Joe handed us our drinks.

"Consider tonight my treat. You deserve it. Your an excellent mother, and my best friend." I said toasting to her.

"Maybe I shouldn't have drove." I said as I finished my third drink. Alice and I were currently hogging the jukebox playing old Michael Jackson and Journey hits practically putting on a concert for everyone in the bar with our singing and dancing.

"Don't worry I will make Jasper drive us home." Alice slurred and tripped over her feet.

"Ok maybe your done." I said reaching for her drink.

"No!" She yelled pulling the drink back quickly and spilling it on her in the process. "Look what you made me do." She whined walking back to bar. Joe gave her a towel to wipe her dress but it was useless. The dress was ruined.

"Darn it Rose I just made this."

"Darn it?" I asked.

"I am trying to curse less. Amelia going to start speaking soon, and I am going to cry if her first word is fuck."

"You sound like Bella." I commented.

"Do you even plan on having kids, Rose?"

"I dunno." I said uncomfortable with this conversation.

"Have you and Emmett talked about it?"

"Not really since our first date." I said missing Emmett. I had only been away from for 16 hours and I felt like part of me was missing. "But we practice all the time." I joked trying to change the subject.

"Don't rub it in."

"When is the last time you and Jazzy got down and dirty?"

"It's been over a month Rose."

"A month!" I exclaimed.

"I'm just so tried. I don't have the energy." She shrugged.

"Uh I think you better make time to get some. Or just lay there and let him to all the work."

"He likes it when I am on top. Especially in reverse cowgirl."

"So he's lazy." I said tapping the bar for another round. Jasper is definitely going to have to pick us up.

"Oh please what man is isn't" She said looking down at the bar.

"You need to spice up your love life."

"We didn't need to before Amelia. Don't get me wrong she is the love of my life, but we had a sex life before she came and now." She just shrugged.

"So now you just have to work on it. It doesn't come as easily as it did before. It's okay, I am sure thats normal."

"What do you mean your sure that's normal?"

"I'm married to Emmett who wants sex every ten-seconds. Nothing about that is normal." Alice took a deep breath and let it out staring across the room in deep thought.

"I bet you guy have sex more the twice a week." She huffed.

"Alice we have sex every night."

"You're kidding." She turned to me with wide eyes.

"Nope." I shook my head. "Sometime multiple times a night."

"But, you should be out of the honeymoon phase by now."

"Yea we're not."

"Well Emmett hit the jackpot."

"I hope he thinks so." I said.

"So whats his record?" She asked.

"Recored for what?" I said shaking my head.

"Oh come on Rose we never actually had this talk. By the time you two did it you practically moved in his place. What's your record for the number of times in one night?"

"Oh I dunno." I said trying to think back over the past couple of years. "Um 7."

"7!"

"There were naps in between. He has great stamina. And I think we went to bed early and woke up really late. Like noon."

"I thought you would say a normal number like 3 or 4."

"What about you?" I asked.

"Twice." She said looking down.

"Hey, that's okay. I told you Emmett his a freak of nature who can only think with his dick sometimes." I said trying to make her laugh.

"You got that right." She said smiling at me.

"All this talk about sex has me missing Emmett. If I pulled the fire alarm do you think he would show up?"

"How would you explain the lack of fire?" She laughed.

"I dunno. I'm drunk enough to say it's in my pants." I said smiling at her as she laughed harder.

After another round of drinks, Alice called Jasper and asked if he could come get us. With in ten minutes he was front of the bar with Amelia asleep in her car seat to pick us up.

"Thanks." I said as I hopped in the front becuase Alice wanted to be close to her daughter. On the ride back to my house, Alice fell asleep.

"Rose, thanks." Jasper said as he pulled into my drive way.

"For what?"

"For bring back my Alice. I can tell she really needed this."

"That's what I am here for." I said stumbling out of the car. He laughed when I almost fell on my ass.

"That's not funny mister. Now go home and fuck your wife." I said closing the door as Jasper laughed. Walking up to my house, I watched the headlights from his truck move as he pulled out the drive way. Pulling out my keys and opening the screen door, I felt a paper fall at my feet. Once inside, I grabbed the paper from the floor and read it.

Rosie,

I am sorry I missed you. I hope you had fun out tonight, don't worry we will be together soon.

I thought it was Emmett, but it was typed. And why would he leave a note on the outside of the house. He has a key. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number, knowing it was late and he may not answer.

"Hello." He said groggily.

"I'm sorry to wake you, but did you come home today?" I asked.

"No, why? Is something wrong?" I could hear the rustle of sheets as he tried to get out of the small twin bed in the firehouse.

"No, No. I was just curious." I don't know why I lied. But I knew Emmett would make this a bigger deal than it was. It was probably just a fan trying to get an autograph.

"You sure. I can come home."

"No, No. I just thought you were here at some point today. I guess I drank to much at Joe's."

"You went out."

"Yea Alice needed to."

"Good. I am glad she got a break." He yawned.

"Go back to sleep."

"Okay love you."

"I love you too." I said before I hung up. I changed into one of Emmett's shirts loving to smell his scent when he wasn't home. Climbed into bed and wondered who the note was from.

I am curious who you think the note is from? I am sorry this is not my best chapter, but I wanted to give you guys something. Let me know what you think, and I will send you a preview of the next chapter! Thanks.
