Seraph

Extra 5

"Beautiful," Tanya commented as she snapped the final picture. "Are you sure you don't want more?" she asked the pregnant blond.

"I'm sure. I feel disgusting and fat," Rosalie glared.

"You're stunning," Serafina argued. She had also dressed up for the shoot in a matching couple's outfit. Several of the photos included her.

"Wasn't this your idea, Rosie?" Kate asked with mild confusion.

"That was before I got fat," Rosalie answered pointedly.

"You're radiant," Esme smiled. She was enjoying the photoshoot almost as much as the girls. It was taking place in her corner of the botanical gardens. The section they had dedicated to herself as a mother. She felt honored.

"Holy crap, you're huge!" Emmett said as he lumbered over to their secluded section, where the little photoshoot was taking place.

Rosalie threw her hands out in a gesture presenting Emmett as though saying, 'See what I mean,' before walking away.

"Don't I get a hug?" Emmett asked as she stormed past, "Come on, I bet I can't even get my arms around you anymore." He joked.

Rosalie never stopped to acknowledge him as she kept going. Esme, Tanya, and Carlisle quickly followed her with reassurances.

"Don't worry, mi amor! I'll kick his ass for you!" Serafina yelled toward her wife's exasperated back. She immediately smacked her brother, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Are you stupid?" Kate asked with her hands on her hips.

"You do not say that to a pregnant woman," Yvonne scolded.

"What? Why not? Doesn't that mean the baby is healthy? Isn't that a good thing?" Emmett wondered as he rubbed his shoulder. The smack didn't really hurt, but it was instinctual to try to soothe that quick moment of pain.

"You don't mention these things," Carmen shook her head.

"Only compliments. Be positive," Eleazar added. The Spanish couple and Yvonne then hurried to catch up to the others, leaving the teens alone.

"There's beauty in pregnancy," Jasper noted. Alice nodded in agreement.

"And you should know Rosie is a bit more sensitive about this," Alice reminded.

"'Cause she's conceited?" Emmett asked.

Serafina turned toward Emmett with a raised brow. Alice and Jasper were now behind her and nodding in agreement to his question. Emmett looked over at the couple; this made Serafina turn to look at them, too, but they were shaking their heads in disagreement. This duplicity confused Emmett. But Serafina quickly turned back from the couple to look at Emmett, "What do you mean by conceited?" she asked.
