Everyone was quiet. No one dared speak a word.

"Um... Rose? Are you sure?" I asked.

Rosalie nodded. "Yes, Carlisle checked me out an confirmed I am pregnant."

Emmet was white as a ghost. I knew how he felt. I felt that way once, too. The panic of not being ready to become a parent. I felt that way when I found out I was carrying Renesmee. And again with EJ.

"Emmet? Are you okay?" Rosalie asked him.

"I... I need a moment." He said and was out of the room in a flash.

"Well, Alice, looks like you and Esme are the only ones not having kids." Said Jasper.

"Not now. What's wrong with Emmet? Did I do something wrong?" Rose asked.

I threw my arms around her. "It'll be okay. I'll go speak to him." I said. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Edward.

"Let me. I'm his brother." He said.

"No, I would be the best person to do it. I know what he's feeling." I said and fled the room after Emmet.

It didn't take me long to find him. He was in a tree out back. Not a very good hiding place.

"Emmet?" I called.

No answer. I jumped up into the tree landing on a branch close to Emmet's.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Look, I know you aren't ready. But Rose is. She's been waiting forever for the chance to have a baby. She confided in me while I was pregnant with Renesmee. She wants your love and support. It's going to be tough for her." I said.

He nodded. "Yes, but you don't get the fact that I can't be a father. I can't be that role model Rose will want me to be for our son or daughter. I'm not good for Nessie or EJ. I'm just not. It's too soon. I don't want my Rose to die."

"She won't. This is what she wants. She will fight for what she wants. You know her as much as I do." I said.

"I know. But what if she's not okay? What then?" He asked.

"You just have to trust her. If she does die you will have a new baby to take her place. I told Edward this, too."

"Okay." He said.

I could tell he was feeling horrible about his reaction. Rose is already probably angry and hurt.

"Will you be there for her? No matter what happens?" I ask.

He nodded. "Yes. For her. For my baby girl or baby boy."
