DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

A/N: alright we r rounding the corner now. it's gonna get really good! oh and i wrote another story, called fire and ice, you should check it out!


I dressed in my best clothes. It was a very windy night, so I grabbed my coat and my hat.

I started walking to my friend Vera's house. I've known her for a while, and she just had a baby, so I decided to go visit. I knocked on her front door, and she opened it, a surprised expression. She hasn't changed much. Her body a little bit curvier, because of her pregnancy. "Rose! How are you doing?" She exclaimed.

"I'm fine, I just got engaged. What about you? You just had a baby right?"

"You got engaged? Yes I did and his name is Henry" She cooed. "Come in."

I walked in and saw the most beautiful baby in the world playing on the floor. He had dimples and curly black hair. Simply gorgeous. I was suddenly jealous of Vera again. When she first got married, I was incredibly jealous. But then when I got engaged I felt better than her.

But now seeing her baby… and I had to snap out of it. I mean one day I will have my own child.

We talked the whole night, either about Royce or baby Henry.

But I didn't have much to say about Royce, since we hardly even knew each other. But I didn't tell her that. I just lied and came up with different things.

Around 6:30, her husband, a carpenter, came home. He sat next to her the rest of the night.

When I finally decided to leave, Vera sat up. "Oh Rosalie, let me walk you out."

"No I'm fine." I said.

"I insist." She smiled as she picked Henry up and balanced him on one hip. Her husband beside her. I stood up and started walking to the door.

But before I left I had to ask her something. "Umm. May I hold him?"

Vera was still smiling. "Oh yes, of course." She handed him to me.

It's so scary holding a child. You are scared that you are going to drop them. Scared that they will start crying. But with this baby I wasn't scared. It felt right. I knew at that moment, that what I wanted most of all wasn't a husband, it was a child.

I handed Henry back to his mother and opened the door. The new family was waving at us, but Henry just drooled. I started walking into the cold, dark night. I was half way down the street, when I heard them.

A group of drunk men.
