48. Flashback:
"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" I ask Rosalie and Emmett.
We're at the doctor's office and today's the day we get to know the baby's gender.
It's kind of awkward for me to be in the room while my sister is lying on a bed with her large bump showing on her stomach.
It's embarrassing for me but this is what she wanted and I can never say no to her.
I've never done that before and I don't plan to start now.
"A girl", smiles Rose.
"How do you know?" asks Em.
"Cause I'm her mom."
"Well I'm saying it's a boy and I know that as I'm his dad", he replies smugly.
"You're wrong!" she glares at him.
They're acting childish and I don't like this behaviour. They aren't a couple anymore and not that I had anything to do with that, I'm kind of glad there isn't a relationship anymore.
All I'm asking is that they try to get along better. This isn't an easy time for any of us, especially these two. They are about to be parents in high school.
This is no light matter.
This is serious and if they don't make an effort to become friends, the situation can become way more complicated than it already is.
Rose is being bullied for being the knocked up sixteen years old and she's been labeled as the school slut. She hasn't got many friends except for Lauren Newton who plans to stick by her no matter what.
It's somewhat different for Emmett. He's on the football team and no one would ever dare to say anything to him. One of his teammates made a comment about Rose and the next thing I know, I'm off to the E.R to check on Emmett who is sporting a cracked jaw.
The other guy was in worse condition.
This happened about two weeks ago but I firmly believe that Emmett won't be picking fights anymore. I had a talk with him and as much as I appreciate it that he stood up for the mother of his child, being violent isn't the way to do it.
I think he understood to some extent.
"You'll find out soon enough kids", says Dr. Zafrina Eleazer. "Just wait a few minutes."
They're both silent.
"Okay Rosalie", continues the doctor. "Are you sure you'd like to know the sex?"
"Yes."
"Well then congratulations. You're having a boy."
You weren't expecting a flashback, were you? Neither was I but when I went through my written documents, this is what I found for no. 48.
