I huffed as I looked at myself in the mirror. This was the fourth pair of pants I had tried on that I couldn't button. I could feel the tears coming to my eyes as I slipped another pair of designer jeans that may never fit me again off. It had been two weeks since the news broke about my pregnancy, and I was growing at an alarming rate, at least in my mind.

As far as the press, we had no choice but to confirm the news. Kate held a press conference, announcing my pregnancy and asking for privacy. The last thing I need right now are paparazzi in Tennessee, and currently my growing belly was the hottest news, much to Emmett's dismay.

"Babe, how long do we have before the devil get here?" Emmett asked from the bathroom as he looked at me in the closet. I looked over my shoulder to see my husband shirtless, and sweaty having just worked out.

"I don't know like twenty minutes." I shrugged my voice wavering trying to hold back my tears.

"Rose, what wrong?" He asked concerned.

"Nothing fits Emmett, and my mother is coming here in twenty minutes." I replied shuffling through my closet.

"I don't know why you invited her here. I could have told you this was going to happen."

"Emmett, what was I was I supposed to do? She was crying."

"Let the bitch cry." He said nonchalantly.

"Well, what's done it done, so now I have to find something that fits me." I turned towards him.

"Rose." He said stepping closer. "Babe."

"Emmett I'm serious nothing is fitting, and if she calls me fat what do I say. She already thought I was pregnant when we were in New York."

"Babe is she calls you fat, she is fucking stupid. Don't worry about being fashionable, or looking skinny. This is our house, and I want you to be comfortable in it. If is she isn't okay with that, I will happily kick her ass out." Walking into the closet and he opened his arms to wrap them around me but I stepped out of his reach. "Babe don't let her get to you." He added thinking I was still freaking out about my weight.

"I'm not, but you smell." I replied. He laughed.

"Emmett, seriously go get in the shower. We don't need to give her another reason to hate you." I said pushing him into the bathroom.

"I don't smell that bad." He retorted.

"That's what you think. Now hurry up." He opened his mouth to responded but I stopped him. "Don't even think about asking me to join you, Emmett. I need to spend whatever time I have trying not to look fat."

"You could never look fat." He responded, and I looked at him like he was stupid. "Just pregnant." He added. "Pregnant and beautiful." He leaned forward lightly kissed my lips. My eyes closed at the contact. Even sweaty and smelly Emmett could bring me to my knees.

"Go get dressed beautiful." He said after pulling away as he got into the shower. I watched as he dropped his shorts and his naked ass came into view.

"I still got it." He said looking over he shoulder as he saw me looking at him.

"Will you get in the shower?" I replied walking back into my closet.

"You know you want me!" I rolled my eyes as I continued to find the perfect outfit to greet my mother.

Fifteen minutes later, as I buttoned up one of Emmett's button downs the house phone rang.

"Hello." I answered after the second ring recognizing the number as our gate phone.

"Rose, I'm at the gate." I heard my mothers say angrily.

"Okay I'll open it." I said hitting nine on the phone successfully opening the front gate to our home. I gave myself one last look in the mirror havind decided on a pair of ankle length leggings, because they were the only pants that fit, and one of Emmett's button down shirts securing it with a small black belt under my growing bust. I took a deep breath, slipped on a pair of flats and walked out of the closet into our bedroom.

"I guess the dragon showed up." Emmett said behind me as we walked towards the front door. I nodded my head. "Fun time is over, but I have to admit I love you in my shirt." He added smacking my ass.

"Emmett." I yelled jumping.

"What?"

"Could you control yourself?" I asked.

"Nope. Your wearing my shirt, it doesn't get hotter than that." I turned to face him and smiled.

"So you still find me hot?"

"Is that a serious question? I always find you hot." He mused.

"Aw. Baby." I reached my hand up to his face and rubbed his cheek. He leaned forward, and once he was millimeters from my face the doorbell rang.

"That fucking bitch ruins everything." He growled pulling back. I shrugged and walked down the stairs.

"It's not to late to ignore her." He added, but I waved him off as I opened the front door.

"It about time." Maggie said pushing me aside as she stepped into the house. Emmett's arm quickly reached out and steady me as he stared my mother down. She turned to look at both of us as if nothing had happened.

"I don't know why you are looking at me like a dumb idiot. I have bags out there, go make yourself useful." She said to Emmett motioning to the front door. I heard Emmett take a deep breath and let it out harshly before kissed my hair and walked out to her car.

I looked back at my mother as she looked around my new house.

"Rose, I don't know why you keep him around, he's as dumb as rocks." She said walking toward me with her arms opened wide. "My baby girl." She cooed as she enveloped me in a hug. I rolled my eyes lightly tapping her pack.

"Hi Mom." I replied sounding uninterested. As soon as the words left my mouth, she pulled back and looked at me sternly. "Sorry, Maggie." A smile spread on her face after I corrected myself.

"I told you about that." She chided. "You have to call me Maggie. Now since we are talking about names for me. Do you think we could tell this child of yours that I'm it's aunt, I look to young to be called Grandma, but I'll settle for Nana." Emmett scoffed as he walked into the house with her luggage overhearing our conversation.

"Shouldn't you be talking that to my room!" She yelled turning back at him.

"Sure, I'll make sure to put it in the furtherest one from ours." He responded before climbing the stairs.

"Does he have any manners?" She asked looking back at me.

"You can't just boss him around." I replied waking towards to kitchen.

"Why the hell not?" She asked following me.

"He's not your servant." I reached in the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

"He married my daughter. I have every right to boss him around." I rolled my eyes. This woman would boss God around if she could.

"That's not an excuse." I said quietly before sipping my water.

"Whatever." She sat across from me at the island before she spoke. "So what do you want to do today? Baby shopping?" She asked excitedly.

"Um... Okay." I said unsure. I was thrown off by her reaction. I was prepared for anger, yelling, and name calling. Happiness was no where on the list of emotions I expected from her while she was here.

"I'm going to help Jasper move stuff." Emmett said walking into the kitchen.

"I didn't know Alice was redecorating." I replied.

"She's not."

"But..."

"I'm going to help Jasper move stuff." He said looking at my mother. He was just trying to get out of the house, and considering how she was treating him, I didn't really blame him.

"Alright go have fun." I huffed. He walked over to hug me and kissed my cheek.

"You sure you'll be okay without me?" He whispered in my ear. "I'll stay if you want me to." I looked over at my mother as she picked at her nails.

"No, I'll be okay." I shook my head. "I lived with her for over eighteen year, remember?"

"How you came from that is the worlds biggest mystery." He said walking out.

"Bye Grandma." He yelled much to my mothers dismay before leaving through the garage door.

"Worthless piece of shit." Maggie said under her breath. "Rose I have no idea how you can stay married to him."

"Okay, lets go shopping." Interrupted her. She wasn't going to say anything I hadn't already heard. Emmett would never be good enough to her.

The rest of the day went surprisingly smooth. My mother was actually amicable, and understanding when I told her I wasn't ready to buy a crib, and I that I just wanted to look for ideas, which I did, but Alice would have killed me if I went baby shopping with anyone but her. She was eager to share her experiences with having a child, and lessons that she had learned. Changing tables should have lots of storage. Buy a crib that can be turned into a bed. Certain fabrics for blankets are better than others. Invest in a breast pump. The whole day was rather enlightening. I had never seen my mother this way, so willing share her wisdom.

She even made me a healthy salad for dinner, which Emmett conveniently missed for Alice's cooking, and we may have had our first conversation where she didn't put me down in years.

That was pretty much the theme of the next few days, my mother was uncharacteristically nice, and Emmett left the house for anything and everything imaginable, including the gym which was slightly annoying because we have one in our house, but I understood.

"I'm just so confused. Maybe something is wrong with her." I hypothesized sipping hot chocolate. Emmett and I had made eating late night snacks a new habit, mainly because I woke up in the middle of the night with cravings, but lately it has been the only time that we had be able to just be together.

"I would like to say she that maybe she found the error in her ways but we both know thats not true." Emmett said taking another bite of his cookie.

"I've never seen her like this. She's concerned about what I eat. Eager to pick paint colors for the baby's room. Buy books of baby names. I feel like I don't even know her anymore." I shrugged.

"Maybe she's dying." I looked over at Emmett wide eyed. "It was just a thought. Don't worry there is no way we are that lucky." He added for my benefit due to the shocked look on my face.

"You really think she may be dying?" I asked slightly surprised by my own concern for a woman has never shown any for me. He walked behind me and wrapped both his arms around my waist.

"No, I don't." He said. I turned around and faced him. Taking a deep breath as I looked up into his blue eyes.

"I feel like I'm on pins and needles when I am around her, like I'm just waiting for her to blow up. But I can't help but let myself hope that this is a permeant change. I want this to be permeant change for her." I whispered. He rested his forehead on mine and looked into my eyes.

"I know, baby. I just don't want you to get your hopes up and get let down."

"Neither do I." This close, he was all I could see, all I could feel, and all I could smell.

"Em." I whispered right before his lips were on mine. My hands immediately went to his sides feeling the taunt muscles of his obliques. He pulled me impossibly closer, as I felt his body react to the contact, pushing his hardness into my stomach.

"Don't think about her." He said placing light kisses on my jaw.

"Don't worry about her." He moved further south licking the skin on my neck and his hand traveled northward toward my covered breast.

"Think about what I am going to do to you right now." I gasped as he ran his thumb over my left nipple before he lightly blew on my neck.

"Up...Upstairs." I said trying to find my words. I could feel Emmett shake his head as his mouth travelled back to mine.

"We have all these bedrooms, we might as well use them." As he spoke, he hands moved to my ass. He gave it hard squeeze causing me to hiss and raise up to my toes. Emmett used this to my actions to his advantage, grabbed my thighs and picked me up. My legs automatically wrapped around his waist as I lowered my lips to his. My arms wrapped around his neck, using my new height to my advantage.

"You won't be able to pick me up much longer." He laughed as he started to walk toward a downstairs bedroom.

"I'll always be able to pick you up." He said kicking the bedroom door shut. He leaned forward, laying me down on the bed. "Even if I have to go to the gym more." He added slipping his hands under my shirt.

"Impossible." I responded as I raised my hands over my head. As soon as the garment was on the floor, his mouth and hands were instantly on my breasts. I hissed as he roughly grabbed them. My boobs were beginning to get larger and, as Alice and Esme promised, Emmett's new favorite toy. And on top of that, they were fucking sore, but I didn't have the heart to tell them it hurt, we was so excited that they grew in the first place.

"How?" He asked his hands slipped the sides of my shorts.

"I think you've spent every hour of the last few days in the gym." I said raising my hips as he finished undressing me. I set my feet on the bed knees bent preparing myself for his welcome intrusion. He stood, and smiled at my now naked form as I laid on the comforter.

"Yep, and now I am very hungry." Before I could even realize what I happened. Emmett was on his knees, head between my legs.

"Good God." I said arching my back. I hands immediately went to his hair pulling him closer to me. He groaned as I pulled at his hair, causing me to cry out at the vibration. Within minutes, I was moaning his name on the verge of release.

"Emmett...Please..." Was all that could escape between pants. As he finally slipped a finger inside me, I felt myself clench around him.

"Shit." I moaned as I clawed at the bed spread. I was still recovering from the aftershocks as Emmett kissed his way back up my body spending a little extra time at my protruding stomach.

"God, your beautiful." He whispered nipping at my ear. I felt the head of his cock touch my lower lips. I have no idea when it happened, but Emmett managed to get naked.

"You ready, baby?" He asked. I nodded my head. I gasped and scratched at his bare back when he swiftly entered me.

"Fuck, Rose." He said lifted one of his hands off the bed and grabbing one of mine from his back.

"Sorry." I replied trying to hold myself still.

"Don't apologize." He said looking down at me. He lowered his head and brushed his lips against mine. "It didn't hurt that bad." He added slowly pulling out of me. "Besides, I kinda liked it." His lip where instantly on mine as he forcefully punctuated his statement with a hard thrust.

He continued with slow hard thrusts making sure to keep his weight off of me, but it wasn't enough. I wanted to feel him, and I knew in this position it just wasn't a possibility. Emmett was to concern with making sure he wasn't resting his weight in my stomach to give me what I wanted.

"Wait, wait." Emmett stop as soon as the protest left my mouth.

"What? What's wrong?" He asked concern all over his face.

"Get off." I commanded.

"Babe."

"Emmett do it." Confused, Emmett rolled off of me, pulling out in the process.

"Rose, what the fuck is going on?" He asked as I sat up. I look of recognition cover his face has I moved to straddle him.

"You ready baby?" I asked mimicking him as I reached down and grabbed the base of his cock. He groaned.

"I'll take that as a yes." I said slowly lowering myself on to him. I watched as his eyes rolled back into it head, as I moved my hips in a circular motion against him. I placed my hands on his firm chest for leverage as began to ride him. Emmett's hands went to my hips to help.

"Shit, babe. You feel so fucking good." He groaned as I picked up the pace. The bed was rapidly squeaking as Emmett pushed his hips up to meet mine as I took him further inside of me. It wasn't going to take me long with this knew angle and Emmett knew it. As I could feel my rhythm faltering, Emmett's thumb went to my clit rubbing it in fast circles.

"Em." I moaned his name as I felt myself get closer. He added more pressure with his thumb and I cried out and clenched my inner muscles around him.

"Fuck." He said stilling his movement. "Baby I can't hold on much longer." The coil was tightening deep within my stomach, but I wasn't as close as he was. So I lifted my hand off his chest and brought it to his between my legs setting to pace I need to finish.

"So fucking hot." Emmett said to himself as he looked down at where our bodies were joined and our hands were working together.

"So close." I moaned closing my eyes.

"Open your eyes Rosalie." He commanded. "Open them and look at me."

Slowly I did as I was told, trying to keep pace. But that wasn't necessary, because as soon as my eyes met his, he pinch my clit sending me over the edge as my elbow gave out from underneath me and I cried out his name. Before my body could hit his, he had me on my back as he stilled with his own release still holding his weight off of me.

Emmett and I were in the middle of a passionate kiss when he pulled out of me, and tucked us into the bed.

"I'm to exhausted to move to our bedroom." He said pulling my body flush against his.

"Ditto." I replied closing my eyes. After a few minute Emmett spoke.

"Babe, you scared the shit out of me. I thought I had hurt you. You know all you had to do was ask." He pushed my hair out of my face. I knew he was referencing when I pretty much told him to get off of me.

"Where's the fun in that?" I said turning into him as sleep over took me.


I woke to Emmett snoring, and loud clanking noises coming from within our house. Emmett, I was use to, the latter, I had no clue. Lifting Emmett's arm from around my waist, I slipped on my shorts and tank top, and walked out toward the kitchen.

"Good Morning." My mother said as she pulled pots out of the cabinet. "I thought I would make you some breakfast." I watched as she rummaged through fridge pulling out eggs, and peppers.

"Umm...Okay." I replied surprised. My mother was never one for cooking and when she did, it was almost guaranteed that there was going to be a fire.

"Good. How did you sleep?" She asked smiling.

"I slept alright."

"Good. So did I. But I wokeen up at about 3 this morning to some noises, but it stopped, so I rolled over and went back to bed."

"Oh gosh. I wonder what that was." I said looking down at the counter. I knew exactly what that was, Emmett and I going at it.

"Yea, me too. Oh well, how do you like your eggs?"

"Scrambled."

"Coming right up." She replied before cracking the eggs. I watched as she cut the peppers, and cooked the eggs. Deciding I should help, I grabbed bread and put it in the toaster. In ten minutes we were both seated at the kitchen table filling our plates.

"So is that husband of yours going to avoid me the whole time or is he going to come out and join us?" She asked in a sweet tone, but something about it irked me. How can she blame Emmett for avoiding her?

"He's really tired and busy. He's not avoiding you." I lied, but she didn't buy it.

"Please Rosalie, I have seen him for a total of about 2 hours since I've been here. He's either avoiding me or you. And if he is going to be away like this how are you going to raise a child together?" How dare she.

"He is not going to be away." I defended calmly not in the mood for an argument.

"How do you know that Rose? How do you know he is not going to leave you alone to raise this child on your own?" She continued.

"I just know."

"That's not good enough, Rosalie. He could leave you or god forbid he is cheating on you."

"Just drop it." I said through clenched teeth. Her worries were unfounded, but I knew I could never change her mind about him.

"There is no reason to get upset. I'm genuinely concerned. This is serious."

"When are you genuine about anything?" I said under my breath.

"Excuse me." She had overheard me.

"All I'm saying is that you tend to..." I was at a loss for words. I didn't want an argument.

"What? I tend to what?" She was getting irritated.

"I dunno." I looked down at my plate willing this conversation to be over.

"No. No. No. You wanted to say something so say it. I didn't raise you to back down."

"You tend to be kinda negative." I said quietly.

"Oh really. I have I been negative since I've been here?"

"Well, you have said somethings to Emmett."

"God forbid I say something to Emmett." She commented sarcastically. "He married my daughter. I hold him to high standards, which he has yet to meet."

"It's not just him. You've said things to me to, just not recently." Somehow I had found my voice. "To be honest, I don't really know what to make of this visit. You been so uncharacteristically amicable, and I feel like I don't even know who you are anymore."

"What would me saying whats on my mind really accomplish Rose? You're Pregnant. No one understands how irreversible that is like I do." I regretted saying anything.

"Do you want hear what I honestly think?" I shook my head quickly as my vision blurred. She pretty much just announced that I was a mistake, and not something she never wanted. "Well too bad because I am going to tell you."

I already felt so raw and vulnerable by what she had already said that what was spoken next felt like I was being hit my a car.

"How could you let him get you pregnant Rose?" She yelled standing from her seat, and I looked down at my plate. "You do realize that he now has a direct link to your money which is the only thing he wants. He practically sealed the deal."

"That's not true." I whispered.

"Oh please, we both know its true, but you won't admit it until you're crying because he left you. Your money and your looks are the only thing that is keeping him here, and now you're pregnant so guess which one of those are about to go?"

"Please just stop." My voice was high and quiet as tears rolled over my cheeks.

"Speaking of looks. What the hell happened to you? This isn't you." She motioned toward me. "You four months pregnant and showing, Rose. I didn't show until I was six months with you. And I sure as hell never got that large. I mean do your clothes even fit anymore? You're huge."

"Um..."

"Um is not an answer Rosalie. You use to be perfect. I made sure you were perfect, and you singlehandedly ruin it over a boy. How could you do that? I made sure you had everything. Money. Power. Beauty. And you threw it away to move out into the boondocks and get knocked up. You let me down, Rosalie. How do you think I feel? My daughter is falling into the same trap I did, the difference is you have further to fall. How does that make you feel? Hmm.." By this point, I was sobbing. No child should have to hear this from their parent.

"I asked asked you a question Rose?" She walked around the table towards me. "Answer me."

"I..I...umm." I was gasping for air as I tried to control my tears and speak.

"I believe I taught you to speak Rosalie, answer me. How does it make you feel knowing that you let me down?"

"Out!" I jumped at the sound of Emmett's voice.

"I am trying to have a conversation with my daughter here." My mother responded looked at him. I kept my eyes on my plate.

"And the conversations fucking over. Get out of my house." He said sternly. I heard his strong footsteps as he walked towards us.

"If I remember correctly, my daughter still lives here. So I have every right to stay."

"You don't have any right to your daughter." Emmett deadpanned.

"What?"

"Bitch, you are the worst parent I've ever seen. You know the only fucking reason you're here, is because she wanted you here. If it were up to me, you would be sitting on your ass at the airport still."

"That's because she loves me. I'm her mother."

"Exactly, by some grace of God, she loves you. The woman who shits on her every chance she gets. Now you can come into my house and shit talk me all you want, but the second you make my wife cry, we have a fucking problem. So you can get the fuck out of my house."

"Rose.."

"Don't look at her. Just get out." Emmett said stopping her plea, and putting himself between my mother and I.

"Well are you going to be the perfect father. Rose, don't even bother coming crying to me when he leaves you, and trust me he will."

"Lady you are about to be the first woman I've ever hit, if you don't get the fuck out of my house. So pack your shit, and go."

"Ridiculous." I heard my mothers footsteps as she walked out of the kitchen and soon Emmett's followed. Once I was alone, the dam broke.

How could she say those things to me?

My hands flew to my stomach, vowing that this child will never feel the way I do now.

My tears began to subside as I heard the front door slam. The chair next to mine was moved out of the way, and Emmett dropped to his knees in front of me.

"Babe are you okay?" All the anger gone from his voice. Nothing but care and adoration in his eyes.

"How much did you hear?" I asked. He took a deep breath.

"Everything, Rose. I always wake up when you leave the bed." I nodded my head relieved I didn't have to explain what had just happened, not that he would have made me.

"I'm never going to be like her." I said after a few moments of silence. Emmett wiped the stray tears that had fallen.

"I know."

"I'm serious. I could never say those thing to my child, even if they were true." He nodded his head understanding that this was a big moment for me. One of my biggest fears was becoming my mother, and now understanding that could never happen was huge. I am not my parents, but to ensure that I had one more thing I had to do.

"Stay here." I said to him standing.

"Where are you going?" He asked concerned.

"I'll be right back just stay here." I walked out of the kitchen, up to our bedroom, and into our closet. As soon as I found what I was looking for, I went back to the kitchen to find Emmett sitting in a chair with his head in his hands.

"Here." I said handing him the note that I had received almost three weeks ago. I sat down next to him and watched his face as he scanned it. The way his jaw tightened. The glare in his eyes as he finished and place it on the table.

"Rose.."

"Emmett." I interrupted. "I know you may not understand. But I want to call him. I need to call him." I said begging him to support me in this, because now I realize with him I can do anything. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening his mouth.

"Okay."

So what did we think of Rosalie's mother? She's the worst. Anyways the story is coming to a close. Only one or two more chapters left. Coming up next, Rose's father, and he may want to talk to Rosalie for something completely different than you think. So leave a review and I will send you a preview. :)
