"Be Careful!" I yelled at the movers as they carried the couch through the front door. It had been a week since my father had shown up, that piece of piece of paper with his number was stuffed into the bottom my purse. It was going to take time until I was ready to talk to him. There were a lot that I was going to have to come to terms with. I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him, but I need to get comfortable with idea of facing him.
"Babe, I am sure they are trying their best." Emmett said coming up behind me as I stood in the foyer. I leaned back into his chest and he wrapped his arms around me resting his hands on my no longer flat stomach. I wasn't showing per say, but my stomach did has a slight roundedness to it, which accord to the book Emmett bought me, What to Expect when you're Expecting, it was normal.
"Yea well, if they scratch my new floors, I cannot be held responsible for my actions." I said closing my eyes as my head fell back onto him.
"Tired?" He asked after he kissed my forehead. I shook my head.
"There is no time for me to be tired. Today is going to be a long day." I replied looking up him over my shoulder.
"Just don't over do it." He leaned down and lightly kissed my lips. The kiss was chaste and quick, but I cherished it nonetheless.
"Well don't you two look like the perfect picture." Emmett and I both looked to the front door to see Aro smiling at us. "I thought I would drop by to see how the move is going, and how you are enjoying the house." He continued now that he had both of our attention.
"Well we have only had the keys for less than 24 hours, and the move just started so.." I shrugged slightly annoyed. Emmett catching the sharp edge in my voice, began rubbing his hands up and down my arms trying to calm me.
"True. Very true." Aro said smirking. "I have to say Rosalie, I love your sharp wit. You've gotta keeper there Emmett. Hold on to her, before someone swoops in." He added smiling at my husband.
"Yea. Thats not going to happen." Emmett replied pulling me closer to him. Maybe now, he is starting to understand why I find Aro creepy.
"Well I am going to go check to see how my boys are doing installing those televisions, and the fridge." He said before he left both Emmett and I standing dumbfounded.
"His men are still installing stuff?" I asked aggravated. "Emmett he has had a year to finish this house. A year!" I whispered.
"Baby, take some deep breaths. I'll look into it." He said in a steady tone.
"You better handle this Emmett. I am sick of this fucking shit. He can't just not tell us when things aren't finished."
"We need you into yoga fast." He said kissing my cheek.
"Alice and Esme are coming over tomorrow, and we are going to give it a try in that room upstairs with the big window."
"Oh the room with the big window. That narrows it down." Emmett joked.
"Actually we do need to figure out what goes into which room. We already picked out the master, and the gym is going to go in the basement. But we have six other bedroom to figure out, and that includes a nursery." I stepped away from him and grabbed his hand.
"Lead the way beautiful." He said as I pulled him towards the stairs. Slowly we walked through each room, trying to figure out which would be home to our future child.
"I think the closer we are to our room the better." Emmett said as we walking into the fourth bedroom.
"I agree, but I also to want it too close. This is going to be the baby's room for the rest of it's life. Do you want a teenager by your bedroom?"
"We can always change rooms Rose." As he spoke we heard a large boom startling the both of us.
"What the fuck was that?" I asked looking at him.
"I dunno come on." He said grabbing my hand. As we walked into the master bedroom, I saw remains of my mirror on my new maple floors.
"Sorry it slipped." One of the movers said not doubt because of the pissed off look on my face.
"You let a $6000 mirror slip." I replied incredulously. There was no way I was letting this fly, but Emmett had other plans.
"Okay, Clean this up, and be more careful." He said sternly to the two men before turning back to me. "Let's go pick this nursery." He added shuffling me out of the room. As soon as we made it back into the hallway, he turned me to face him.
"You have to stop sweating the small stuff, Babe. It was just a mirror."
"Just a mirror. Emmett that thing was shipped from Morocco, and now it is in shambles on our bedroom floor." I said as tears started to come to my eyes.
"Jesus." He sighed as he pulled me close to him. "If this is going to cause you to stress, we can get another mirror. This is not worth your tears." He said running his hands through my hair.
"I know. I feel stupid for cry over furniture, but I can't help it." I sniffed. "I really liked that mirror."
"Oh I can tell." He responded.
After looking at three more rooms, Emmett and I decided to turn the bedroom closest to the master into a nursery. And surprisingly Emmett did not gloat when I told him he was right.
"We can't really do anything till we figure out the sex." I said walking around the room the would belong to our child in only six short months.
"Why not?" Emmett asked confused.
"Because we need to choose a paint color, and pick a crib. Emmett I will not have a boy sleeping in pink room. The sex determines everything." I answered shocked that he didn't understand.
"This sounds like something Alice should be helping you with not me. I'll just do the heavy lifting." Hs said putting his hands up in surrender.
"Heavy lifting and painting. You will need to paint." I corrected.
"Of course painting. How could I forget that?" He replied with a smile. I yawned as I walked towards him. "Sleepy?"
I nodded my head.
"Ok. I'm going to go make them finish our bedroom first, so you can lay down and take a nap. I'll be right back." He lightly kissed my lips.
"I nap would be perfect." I smiled as he pulled away and walked out of the room. I began deciding where the where the crib was going to go, and changing table. I could see myself in a rocking chair in the far corner with an itty bitty baby in my arms. Toy chest by the door. Play pen in the middle of the room. It was going to be perfect.
"So is it true?" I turned to see Aro leaning against the door frame.
"Is what true?" I asked confused.
"You're expecting." He sneered. I guess the idea of me pregnant didn't sit well with him.
"Where did you hear that?" I asked playing dumb.
"The movers where talking about you picking out a nursery." He smirked. "And I think today is the first day I haven't seen you in anything form fitting. And you husband is hurrying the movers up so you can nap. It all adds up."
"I didn't know you were so attuned to me, but if you must know. Yes, I am pregnant. Not that it is any of your business."
"Of course I pay attention to you. You are my client. It is my job to keep my clients happy." He smiled. "Well Congratulations. I am sure you will make an excellent mother." He said just before he left me alone in the room. I stood stunned starring at the door wondering what the hell just happened until Emmett came back.
"What?" He said as he walked toward me.
"Aro knows."
"Aro knows what?"
"He knows I'm pregnant." I answered.
"How?" He asked. His voice getting low.
"He heard the movers talking about us picking out a nursery." I whispered. He took a deep breath.
"Okay." He responded.
"Okay?" I said looking back at him like he was stupid. "Emmett, we got a god damn stork on our door step over a week ago. I tell you a man who gives me the creeps knows I'm pregnant, and all you have to say is okay."
"Babe he found out today. It makes sense."
"I know but it's freaking me out." I whispered.
"Come on." He said leading me out the room. As we made it into our bedroom, I saw the mess had been cleaned up, and bed was nicely made, and everything was in it's rightful place. "Lay down." He pulled back the covers.
I did as he said.
"Let me worry about Aro, okay. I will deal with it. You just lay down and relax. I don't want you worrying about anything. Just relax. Close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm going to lock this door. No one will be coming in here."
"What about you?" I asked.
"I have a key. I am going to make sure that the rest of the day goes smoothly. I want this move to be over. I need make sure it is done correctly, and I can't do any of that if you keep stressing."
"I'm sorry." I didn't realize I was being such a problem.
"Don't apologize babe. You haven't done anything wrong, I just don't think the movers enjoy you yelling at them." He smiled. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Go to sleep." He said before he stood and left the room. I turned into the covers of our new bed, and closed my eyes.
I was woken up hours later by a dip in the bed.
"What time is it?" I asked
"Midnight." Emmett answered.
"I slept for that long?"
"You were tired. It's okay. The move is done. Everyone is gone, and the alarm is on." He said pulling me closer to him.
"I should have helped."
"Nope. You should have slept. Your body needed it. You have been going no stop for the past few days preparing for this. I'm not surprised you slept this long."
"But."
"No buts. Go back to sleep. Alice and Esme will be here in the morning." I could hear how tired he was in his voice. I should have helped. I should have set an alarm. Emmett shouldn't of had to do this on his own.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"For what?"
"Being you." He chuckled.
"I could say the same thing." He responded. I turned into him and snuggled into his chest.
"I love you." I said after a couple minutes.
"I love you too."
"Coming." I yelled as I ran towards the front door.
"Rose this place is a fortress." Alice said as she and Esme walked inside with their yoga mats.
"You don't even know the half of it. There are secruity cameras everywhere, and theres a safe room." I responded.
"What the hell do you need a safe room for?" She asked.
" Who knows." I lied. To be honest, that safe room was one of my biggest comforts and Emmett knew it. After the pictures of me inside my own house, I needed something that would protect me from within. And the added security of a safe room, did exactly that. "Did you bring the DVD?" I asked changing the subject closing the door behind them.
"Yep came in the mail Yesterday. Prenatal Yoga For Mommies to Be." Esme answered.
"That title is awful." I said leading them up the stairs. "I figured we could do it in the room we have that has a large window. That should be calming right?"
"Sounds perfect." Esme responded. "And then when you are done, you can give us a tour of your lovely new home."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Rose, Where's Emmett?" Alice asked as I lead them into the room and grabbed the DVD from Esme.
"Sleep." I said as I placed the movie into the player. "He did everything yesterday. He made sure the movers didn't break anything. Paid them. Everything. And I slept the day away like a waste of space."
"Thats because you have been doing to much." Esme chided.
"How have I been doing to much? I'm pregnant not handicapped."
"Rose you just need to accept that your body needs more rest than it ever did before."
"Yea yea. Let's do this." I said pressing play. I small woman that looked like she was about to pop came onto the screen.
"Welcome to Prenatal Yoga for Mommie to Be." She greeted in a pitched voice. I hate her already. "Lets begin."
"This is stupid." I said 30 mins into the video. I was on my laying on my back with my knees bent and pelvis in the air. "I feel like an idiot." I commented dropping my hips back to the mat.
"Come on there are only 20 more mins." Alice said.
"I have to agree with Rose on this one. It feels kinda of weird." Esme added.
"Maybe we need to get a real yoga instructor." I said
"Why we have the video?" Alice said breaking her pose.
"It was just a thought." I defended. "I'm sure the video you ordered is great. I just don't think yoga is for me."
"We are not doing this for you Rose, we are doing it so Emmett can stop freaking out over you." Alice responded.
"Well when you put it like that, I guess we better finish the movie." I said going back to my pose. She was right. This wasn't about me, it was about the babies health and Emmett sanity.
Once the video was over, I walked them around the house, pointing out where the babies room would be.
"This is a beautiful house Rose." Esme said as we made it to the kitchen.
"Good morning ladies." Emmett said in only his sweat pants. My eyes immediately went to his sculpted chest. God lord what looking at this man does to my body.
"Good morning Emmett. I was just telling Rose what lovely home you have." Esme said smiling.
"She designed it." He said taking a sip of his water. I watched his adams apple bob as he swallowed. A moan unintentionally left my mouth as I thought about licking it. Alice giggled.
"Well we should get going. I am sure these to have a lot of unpacking to do, Esme." Alice said with a smile.
"Of course." Esme replied oblivious to the fact that Alice was ushering her out so that I could jump Emmett's unsuspecting bones. "Till next time Rose. Bye Emmett."
"Well let ourselves out." Alice winked at me as I mouthed a quick thank you. As soon as I heard the front door shut, I walked over to Emmett.
"I guess we should start unpacking." He said placing his glass on the counter.
"I can think of some other things we still need to do, if you are interested." I replied looking up at him through my eyelashes.
"What might that be?"
"We have yet to christen that house, and currently that is at the very top of my list." I smiled.
"Unpacking can definitely wait." He said lifting me over her shoulder and carrying me up to our bedroom.
I was startled awake by the sound of my phone ringing. I reached over to the nightstand and felt my muscles tense. Emmett and I had sex on every imaginable surface yesterday. His gym, the kitchen, our bed, the shower. Nothing was left untouched, and nothing was unpack.
"Turn that shit off, Rose." He groaned burying his head deeper into the pillow. We probably got a total of four hours of sleep last night. Mainly because I kept waking Emmett up for one last fuck.
"Sorry." I said as I found the screaming device. I looked at the screen, saw Alice's name, and hit talk.
"Alice it's six o'clock in the morning." I answered
"Turn on your TV." She said sternly.
"What?"
"Turn on your television!" She yelled.
"Okay, okay." I said reaching for the remote. The light from the TV hurt my eyes at it illuminated the room. Emmett growled. "What am I looking for?" I whispered, no need to pissed Emmett off more.
"Turn to E!"
"Alice I hate that network. All they do is show celebrity new."
"Do it." I huffed and followed her directions. As I looked the screen I gasped.
Breaking New: Singer Rosalie Hale is expecting her first child, was written across the screen.
"Shit!" I said and Emmett turned to look at me. I pointed to the screen.
"I know." Alice responded. "I have no idea how it got out."
"Fucking Movers." Emmett groaned.
"I do." I said to Alice as I realized Emmett was right. It had to be the movers. My phone beeped telling me someone was on the other line.
"Alice I have to go, I think Kate is calling me."
"Okay, call me back." She said before I flipped over to the other call.
"Kate." I greeted assuming it was her. I was so wrong, and if I actually looked to see who it was, I would have never taken the call.
"Your pregnant, and I had to find out like to commoner!" My mothers voice yelled back. SHIT!
Yep Rose's mother is back. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, because personally this is not my favorite. I always struggle writing fluff. A link to their new house in on my profile. So leave me a review and I will send you a preview.
