" Are you sure it's not broken ?" Edward asked worried standing right by Emma's side and biting his nails.

He stared at Carlisle working on Emma's hand like at any moment, she could die. Carlisle nodded while he wrapped Emma's hand carefully. She cringed due to the slightest touch causing it to hurt, but she didn't want to make a scene. She already knew how angry Edward was and could practically feel it radiating from his body.

" It's just a sprain should heal fairly quickly."

Emma nodded." Thank you."

" Anytime."

" Trying to walk and chew gum at the same time again, Emma ?" Emmett said walking into the room with a cheery smile. Emma shook her head not even bothering to smile since she was still upset herself.

" I punched a dick of a werewolf in the face."

" Bad ass..." Emmett said which finally allowed a smile to her face." You're gonna be one tough little newborn."

" You can bet I will beat your ass." Emma said, but that caused Rosalie to throw her newspaper on the counter and stomp to the balcony. Emma stared after her confused, but Emmett just laughed.

" Don't worry about it."

Carlisle nodded before turning to Jasper." Okay, any leads ?"

" No sign of the intruder, but Victoria continues to make appearances."

" I'll be back. Don't worry." Emma whispered to Edward before making her way over to the balcony. Rosalie laughed when she heard the door.

" Go blather to someone else about the joys of becoming a newborn."

" Rosalie, I wasn't going to do that. I haven't been blabbering it to anyone by the way." Emma said walking over and standing next to her. She listened to the frogs croak and crickets chirp before looking to her." You need to tell me cause I don't get it and it's confusing the hell out of me. I don't understand what I did, to make you hate me so much."

" Hate." Rosalie said shaking her head." I don't hate you. I actually like you which is what I hate."

Emma laughed." Ouch."

" Emma, I envy you."

" Why ?"

" You have a choice. I didn't. None of us did. But you do, and you're choosing wrong. I don't care how miserable your human life is." Rosalie whispered looking back to the woods below.

" My life is not miserable. It's not perfect either, but-"

" Mine was. Absolutely perfect. Everything as I still wanted." Rosalie said with a smile on her face." To be married, with a nice house and a husband...to kiss me when he came home. A family of my own. Royce King was the most eligible bachelor in town. I barely knew him, but I was young. I was in love with the idea of love. On the last night of my life, I left a friend's house late. I wasn't far from home. He was drunk and...started taking my clothes off with all his friends.

" Oh my god." Emma whispered understanding through the lines." Rosalie-"

" They left me in the street, thinking I was dead. Believe me, I wanted to be. Carlisle found me, he smelled all the blood...Thought he was helping me."

" Rosalie, I'm sorry that happed to you. I can't imagine what you went through."

" Don't worry, I got my revenge on them. One at a time. I saved Royce for last, so he'd know I was coming. I was a little theatrical back then. Things got better after I found Emmett, but we'll always be this. Frozen, never moving forward. That's what I miss the most, the possibilities. Sitting on a front porch somewhere, Emmett gray haired by my side, surrounded by our grandchildren, their laughter."

" You're wrong about one thing." Emma said seeing the Cullen sister look at her." I do want all that. I want kids to look up to me. I wanna watch them grown and to know that I made them. I want to be with my sister, my parents, and Jacob...but I love Edward too. You saw how it was when we separated. We just can't be a part."

" I did. It was scary to see. I never seen someone love another so much like Edward loves you. It made me hate you a bit, but as time passed I remember that he left you. At that point, I felt sorry for you. I imagined you worst or maybe at the same point he was. That's why I told him Alice's vision. I wanted him to get better. I didn't think he would try to kill himself."

Emma blushed nodding her head." He is my first every boyfriend. Ironic if you think about it. My first boyfriend turned out to be a vampire."

Rosalie laughed at that and nodded her head." Very ironic. You must really love him if your willing to risk everything for him. It's brave. You're very brave. From standing up to a vampire to fighting one."

" Momma never raised a bitch." Emma said making the two laugh. Edward heard from far and smiled seeing the bonding." We're going to have that in common. Wishing we had our human lives for a bit."

" It's a good thing vampires can't cry or eat ice cream."

" Yeah." Emma said before reaching over and placing her warm hand on Rosalie's cold one." If I could give you a child in anyway, I would. I bet you would be an excellent mother, but you have to remember one thing."

" And what's that ?"

" If you weren't turned into a vampire, you would have never met Emmett. You would have never met your siblings. I would have never met the strongest women I know." Emma said which caused shock to spread on Rosalie's face. She then smiled and nodded squeezing Emma's good hand carefully.

" You got me there, kid."

" I don't think I'll ever want something more then I would want to be with Edward."

" You're wrong again." Rosalie said a bit scared. She then looked to Emma serious." After you've been changed, there's one thing you'll want more. One thing you'll kill for."

" And that is ?"

" Blood."
