The rest of us stayed in the living room and talked some more. Kate warmed up to me after I explained to her that I had no intention of ever leaving again. Leah, however, still glared at me.
"She's really stubborn so it might take a while for her to talk to you without using vicious, vicious words." Kate said, when there was a lull in the conversation.
"I figured that. But I have all the time in the world." I chuckled. I replayed her words in my head and busted out laughing.
"Did you just quote Brittany from Glee?"
Kate gave an embarrassed smile and nodded her head. "Me and Emmy love that show. She's all for Brittana, I don't really care as long as Artie and Tina get back together. But Mike is really sweet towards Tina so, I'm not so sure if I want them to break up." She explained.
I nodded my head and started to make plans to use Glee as a way to get Emma to start talking to me. Even though I would never really admit it, I'm a bit of a gleek myself.
Emmett dropped my bag down in front of my feet and I looked up at him in confusion. "C'mon Rose it's time for you to unpack and see where you will be staying." Alice said, standing next to Emmett.
"While you were away Carlisle and Esme added onto the house. The twins are really attached to their grandparents, so we didn't want to move out. Leah and I took mine and Jasper's room and Emmett and Kate have Edward's old room. Jazzy has his own room at the very end of the hall." Alice said leading me down the hallway.
"Does that mean…..Don't tell me she has my old room."
Alice turned towards me, stopping in front of a familiar door and gave me a bright, devilish smile.
She opened the door and we both peeked inside and saw Emma lounging on her bed with ear buds fit snugly in her ears, eyes seemed to be at peace in the little bubble she created around herself.
She looked good. Really good. Her tan skin looked even better against the black comforter she was on top of. She was made of muscle, but not bulging muscles. There was just enough to make appear intimidating to those she wanted to scare and sexy to those she wanted. Before I could continue my through examination her daughter, Alice cleared her throat.
As I looked up at Alice at the same time Emma looked up at us. She looked surprised as hell, but anger didn't seem to be coming up behind the shock.
Alice looked at both of us with a wide grin and said "Emma, I would like for you to meet your new roommate, Rosalie. Goodnight you two and be nice."
Before we both could fully open out mouths to complain, Alice was gone.
Emma looked at me with an angry expression and then shook her head and chuckled. "I should have known that Mama was gonna do this. I was hoping that Mom would talk her out of it, but Mom is pretty whipped." She said, smiling at me.
I couldn't help but to laugh and smile back at her. She had the brightest smile I had ever seen. "So, are you okay with this?" I tentatively asked, I didn't want to upset what little progress when seemed to have made in such as little time.
She looked at me thoughtfully and sighed. "Not really, but to be honest I think in the end, you would be moving in here. Better to have you be in here sooner, rather than later, huh?" She said, with a small, some what sad smile.
I nodded in agreement and walked into the room. I realized that big and small changes had been made in the space since I had resided here.
"I was thinking about painting the walls, but I ultimately decided not to. You can look around if you like." She said, giving me an encouraging look.
I looked around the room. Fully taking it in. There were different posters for different bands on almost every wall. Except for the one to the left of the door. There was a desk, a chair, and a corkboard with different pictures and papers on it.
"You play guitar and fix cars?" I asked, pointing at the tool box that was on the floor, next to an acoustic guitar in a far corner.
She gave me a wide, beautiful smile. "Yeah, I'm pretty badass on the guitar, not as good as Hendrix, but I'm getting there. I am a grease monkey, I'm actually fixing up an old '69 SS Camaro, Jake's helping me out."
I looked at her, impressed and said "I'm a grease monkey too, if you want I could help you."
She smiled and nodded her head yes.
I went to her desk and looked at the different pictures that were on the corkboard. Most were of her and her twin, goofing off and making different faces. But her smile never seemed to be real or reach her eyes. I sighed to myself knowing that I was the cause.
Then one picture of her with a helmet and what looked like a gun on her hand caught my eye. "Do you play paintball or something?" I asked turning towards her.
"Yeah,I'm on a team with my sister and Ness. We play in all girl's league." She told me, moving to sit on the edge of her bed.
"That sounds a little..." "Dangerous,hardcore,competitive?" She finished for me. "It is, but that's what makes it fun. Hopefully my team will make it to Nationals,we're a shoe-in to win Regionals."
I nodded my head and turned my attention to her desk. There were papers off to the right of the desk next, to her lamp, in a messy stack. Some held what look like song lyrics, but majority of the papers had sketches and full blown drawings, she was an amazing artist.
One in particular caught my eye and I carefully pulled it out of the pile. I gasped and looked at the black and white drawing in wonder.
"It's from my Mom's memory. I had Ness ask her to think about it and Ness projected the image on to me and drew it. It took me months to get it just right. Of course I remembered, but I wanted to get what it looked like on the outside." She said, moving to stand behind me.
I nodded, still staring in awe at the picture of me holding a dark haired newborn. I could see the love and devotion shining in my eyes as the newborn looked back up at me with equal intensity.
