RPOV


I felt a sudden aching pain in my lower stomach and felt weirdly nauseous, maybe Emmett poisoned my sandwich...

I raced to the pristine bathroom(due to its lack of use)and immediately felt panick. I was bleeding..from my underwear?? I checked pretty everywhere for some sort of cut or graze, maybe my inner thigh? But I found nothing..nor did I feel the pain I should be if i were bleeding.

I decided to let Ness do her thing as she ran upstairs.Guess she couldn't wait to get back to that book huh...just like her parents. So much so that it was almost irritating in the most laughable way.

I saw her slowly walk down the stairs with her fingers tangled together in front of her.She did not look up as she began to speak.

"Emmett..." she whispered

"yep?"

"I'm bleeding.."

I found myself feeling strangely paternal, was she okay? Was it serious? Oh my god if she dies in my hands what wou-.

My frantic inner monologue came to a hault as I pulled myself together and asked with slight urgency as to not make her panic, "where? Are you okay?"

"I think so..my stomach hurts"

"Ness where are u bleeding?"

"I don't wanna say.."

"oh come on don't make me force it out of you, if your bleeding that's serious"

"um down there..."

Well shit. It's always me isn't it. Why couldn't it have been Rosalie or Alice of all people? WHY ME?

"uh...well..um...I-"

She fled back up the stairs in shame with tears welling up in her eyes, oh god Rosalie is so gonna kill me.I felt so bad, me and Ness were never like this she was always my partner in crime, once I lifted her onto my shoulders and she cracked an egg on Edwards head.He was incapable of being angry at his daughter..me on the other hand..I was okay with taking the blame. It was worth seeing an egged Edward...Eggward.

I kneeled infront of the locked bathroom and knocked lightly.

"Ness...I'm not gonna lie to you now, I don't know alot about this stuff, and I know you'd rather it be your mom or Rose or Alice but I'm the only one here, and guy or not I'm still your uncle and I wanna help"

"why am I bleeding Emmett? You're acting like it's normal."

"well it kinda is, okay I'll go get u something and u can come out and we can talk okay?"

"okay.."

I suddenly realised that there would be nothing of use in the house.

"uh okay Ness slight change of plans we're gonna have to go to Walmart okay? I think u should pile up some toilet paper there until we get there okay? I swear to god kid don't get blood in my jeep" I made sure to say the last part in a joking tone.

She walked out and we made our way to the jeep and I strapped her in.We drove to the Walmart in a somehow non-awkward silence.

We walked in hand in hand and made our way to the feminine care section.Uhh okay now what...?

Panty liners,Tampax pearl,PH balancing wipes,Diva cup? The fuck is a diva cup? Pads with wings, Wingless pads. Okay what the fuck? I stared in confusion as a thirty something employee approached us under the assumption we were brother and sister.

"You guys need any help?"

"Oh my god yes please I'm so lost" I practically begged.

"I'm assuming this is for her?" She gestured gently toward my niece.

"yes it is"

"alright then if it's her first I'd suggest these"

I didn't make a dance of it, I knew she wanted to be out of there just as much as I did.

"Why don't u go in the store bathroom and sort yourself out"

"I don't know what to do?"

Do I really have to be doing this? I explained how to use a pad with a lot of help from the back of the packet "..hmph...easy enough"

About a minute later she walked out in silence and we made our way back to the jeep.

"okay now can you tell me what's going on?"

"uh okay..you see ness..every month a girl bleeds out of her um...'special place', it's completely normal and happens to every girl.Well not your aunts or anything"

"why?" She asked innocently

"I don't know all the ins and outs it just means you can have a baby"

she looked up in panic and began to shout.

"A BABY? I DONT WANNA HAVE A BABY"

"NO NESS, that's not what I meant your not having a baby trust me"

"oh my god I can't be a mom Emmett"

"NESS YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT YOUR TWELVE"

"what difference does that make? Oh my god my life is over"

"Ness it is physically impossible for you to be pregnant"

"how?"

Oh god Emmett you've done it now!

"uh..I don't think I'm the person to tell u this"

"come on Emmett, you are my favourite uncle"

I felt elated.

"I'm your favourite uncle?"

"yes obviously" she rolled her eyes

"YES!" I said with an aggressively joyful face

"I mean, yeah that's cool whatever you're cool I guess" I played it cool although I doubt it convinced her.

"so now that you know you're my favourite, will u tell me?"

I couldn't refuse her now, Bella and Edward would understand. I mean she is at that age anyway..oh what the hell.

"no Ness.Thats really something you should hear from your parents"

"but if I ask them they'll make it so serious and weird...please?"

"okay okay fine but you know what you're doing when u look at me like that." She giggled after

I then explained the process in very simple, innocent terms. She was horrified.

"EW EW EW WHY WOULD U TELL ME THAT?"

"ITS YOUR FAULT YOU MADE ME!?"

We went back and forth and the almost argument ended in some laughs.

"Why don't we get some ice cream, you've had a hard day"

"Yes please my stomach is killing me"

"Wimp"

"I'll tell mom what you don't me about"

"NO PLEASE"

"calm downn as if I'd bring THAT up again. As long as I get my ice cream you have my silence" she grinned

"thank god don't scare me like that"

We sat in the car for a couple hours before getting home and watching a film together. She buried her head into my chest when the scary parts came up, obviously we insisted on watching 'The shining'. She screamed at Danny's first vision. The blood scene. She gripped my sweatshirt and curled up against me.I ran my fingers through her hair and she released her grip.

"you wanna turn it off?" I asked with slight concern.

"As if!" She exclaimed

"if u say so" I laughed

I think the source of me and Ness getting along so well is the fact we're the exact same person in different bodies. I liked that.

The film came to its end shortly before the rest of the family made their way back to the house. I sat, eyes closed. Not asleep obviously but in a meditative state of calm with Ness burrowed in my arms and my head resting on hers. I guessed this was the closest thing to sleep for me. Ness's delicate nature but almost identical personality to mine brought out the human in me.

"Oh would you look at them" I beckoned the rest of the family over as I stared at my husband who I swear for a second was asleep, whatever he was he was zoned out in complete relaxation against our niece. This made my cold heart flutter at the sight. As much as I wanted to join then I couldn't interrupt, we left them be until Renesmee woke.
