Disclaimer: Same as chapter 1.

Note: Sorry this took so LONG, I have been stuck. I know what I want to do for the next few chapters now, so hopefully I'll be able to upload another chapter without having to wait two weeks.

Chapter 39: A Perfect Day

"What does that mean?" He asked skeptically.

"I-" She wasn't sure how to phrase it, she wasn't completely sure what her power was exactly. Remembering past lives? How was she going to explain it to him? And she sure did not want to tell him about how she had died last time and how that had left her. The her hallucination that had broken her and sent her to the hospital for a year was about her last death.

It was a good thing she didn't remember that hallucination though, until she was changed into a vampire, because she might never had let Emmett get close enough to her to have fallen for him if she had. Then there might not have been two beautiful babies in the world that was a piece of him and a piece of her.

"I just remember some things from my past, past lives. I don't know, it's hard to explain." It didn't really explain anything, Emmett was still confused as hell, but she wasn't sure how to explain what she just knew.

Fortunately, Emmett let the subject drop; it wasn't like he didn't have the rest of eternity to figure the girl out all over again. "Let's go see the twins."

Rian didn't have to be told twice, she used her speed once again to zip through the forest, with Emmett beside her, towards the house. But the closer she got to the place, the more nervous she felt. She waited so long for this moment, longer than she had known when she was a human that now as she was so close to holding her babies she suddenly felt incredibly unsure of this. What if she couldn't control her thirst, what if she hurt them in some way? What if they hated her or she was a terrible mother?

Her mind was spiraling out of control and Emmett walked up the steps to the house and opened the door for her to go in. She took a deep breath (which she didn't need) and walked into the house, pushing aside any negative thoughts and feelings.

Once she was inside the house, her eyes instantly found the twins sitting on the floor in the living room and playing with some blocks that Esme or someone evidently bought. They seemed to be about six months old, sitting up and all. They were so very similar, both having the same curly black mop on top of their heads, bright, almost unnatural blue eyes, and the same creamy skin complexion. If it wasn't for the differences in their outfits, she would not be able to tell them apart. At this young age, it would be difficult to tell the twins apart with how much they looked alike at the time if they were only dressed in their diapers. But Rian knew they would soon be able to see the differences in each twin as they grew, ultimately each of their bodies would began to develop differently.

As soon as Emmett walked into the room, one of the babies, dressed in Rian's favorite pink outfit, looked up at her father and smiled before crawling over to the man and practically demanding him to pick his daughter up. Her tiny little hands holding up in the air as she sat by his feet was just too cute and Rian quickly snapped a picture with the camera she saw sitting on the coffee table. Emmett smiled down at the little girl and picked the little baby up, "Sweet Hadley."

While Hadley was not concerned with her mother, practically at all, Rian's other child was looking at her with this contemplative look. Hadley was her first born child, the child who's birth had been a piece of cake compared to the second child.

She looked down at her second baby, with almost the same look on her face. He was obviously a boy, at least judging by the clothes he was dressed in. While his sister had a pacifier in her mouth, he seemed uninterested in the things. His was laying on the floor a few feet away from him and he only seemed concerned with the blocks in his hands and at his feet. Finley looked away from Rian finally and began to put the blocks on top of each other once again.

"So who won the bet since there is both a girl and a boy?" Rian asked Emmett, referring to their bet on the babies' gender. She sat down beside her son and began to gently play with his curls. A smile played on her lips as she watched the boy stack block after block.

"I obviously did. I just said that they would be at least one boy." Emmett lied as he brought Hadley back to her brother and sat down with her in his lap.

Rian dropped the conversation though when she suddenly remembered some of the events that led up to her changing. "What happened to Winter?"

Esme, standing in the doorway, answered. "She's fine. We got to her in time."

With her mind half distracted with the children sitting in front of her, she was confused. Esme's statement did not seem to answer her question. "What?"

"She's still human." Emmett said kindly. And then Rian's mind began running in overdrive as she remembered the story Emmet had told her long ago about Bella's run-in with James and how they had saved her from turning that day. She considered checking in with Winter as see how she was adjusting to the whole 'vampires are real' thing, but decided against it. The Cullen's and Rian would soon move along in their incredibly long lives and Winter would most likely only be more disturbed by Rian's new form. Rian was still upset at the girl for all she had put the redhead through, but no one deserved having their reality shattered and having to live with the burden and nightmare of knowing vampires were real and there was little a human could do to protect themselves.

Rian relaxed, Winter would have to survive her life without Rian, as Rian would have to without her best friend. The pain that spread through her chest as she thought of leaving everyone and everything she had known all her life was almost unbearable, then she would look into the bright blue eyes of her twins and she knew it was a small price to pay for all that she would be gaining. Finally what she had been unconsciously craving and yearning for all of her past lives was finally in her grasp.

As if he had Edward's power, Emmett wrapped his arms around Rian's waist and pulled her close as they continued to watch their twins play with their toys and each other.
