A Return and Explination [Rosalie]

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett nearly skidded to a stop once he reached Forks, but that meant that he would have had to slow down. Which in turn meant that it would be even longer since he would get to see Rosalie. Emmett was once again glad to be a vampire as he was able to push himself harder to get to the other side of Forks, where the Cullen house was. Emmett stopped once he reached the mansion and he knew his dimpled smile was spread across his face. Rosalie was almost within his grasp now, and he had so much to tell her. Emmett knew that he had owed her a massive explanation and he wasn’t sure how he was going to explain everything, right now all he cared about was where Rosalie could be. Emmett ran into the Cullen Mansion, “Rose!”

He found himself standing in the middle of an empty living room, and no Rosalie within immediate smelling distance. Emmett grumbled to himself and jogged to the top of the stairs, “Rose!” He was becoming impatient as he went back downstairs to the living room about to go out into the forest and mountains to find his wife.

[Rosalie Hale]

Rosalie had finally given in to Jasper and agreed to leave her room. She decided to take a walk along the river. She had walked for several miles when she decided to turn around and return home. She was almost back to the house when she heard a vehicle that sounded like Emmett's Jeep. She started to hope against hope that it was him. She started to run towars the house and entered the back door in time to hear him call her name from the stairs. A huge smile spread across her face and she flew into his arms. She was so happy that he was home safe that she forgot about everything else for a moment. She was only concerned with him in that moment. She through her arms around his neck and kissed him like it was their first kiss.

When she pulled away from that kiss, she remembered the time that he had been gone and all the pain that she went through. She pulled away from him and hit him with her fist in his arm. "Where the hell have you been. I have been so worried and sad." she said in an anger voice to him. She had spent weeks worring about him and wondering if her was coming back. Now that he was home safe, she could be angry with him. "I am so mad with you right now that I could just scream at you. How could you put me through that worry?" She said and turned her back on him.

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett was not given much reaction time as his arms were suddenly filled. He smiled the second that he realized is was his Rosalie. His beautiful Rose had the brightest smile on her face right before the two began kissing. Emmett curled his arms tightly around Rosalie’s waist and pulled her closer. The kiss was broken far too soon for Emmett and he was about to lean in and kiss Rosalie again when she punched his arm. Rosalie then wanted to know where he had been and said how she had felt. Emmett felt his dimpled grin growing as Rosalie spoke, and guessing at how she would react at his news it did not go away, even when Rosalie said she could scream at him.

Emmett felt immediately horrible as Rosalie turned her back to him but his grin resurfaced as he stepped in front of her and put a hand under her chin and the other on her waist. “Babe, I’m sorry that I left the way that I did, but I want you to know that I love you and you are going to be stuck with me for a long damn time.” Emmett felt his dimpled smile grow, “Now are you going to pout or do you want me to tell you where I had gone to?”

[Rosalie Hale]

Rosalie could see the grin that was on Emmett's face and normally that grin would have melted her heart, but she was past that with him now. When she turned her back on him, she was sure that he would know how upset she was with him. He had not even bothered to call her to let her know that he was safe. When he came back into her view, she knew that he was not going to let her stay mad at him. Not that she could anyway, she loved him to much to stay mad at him. Rosalie was a sucker from his dimples and after all he was her money man. Rosalie felt his hands on her face and her waist. She knew the instant that his hand touched her chin that he had won. She slowly lifted her head to look at him again. "I am not pouting to begin with. I am upset with you. You could have at least called me, that is what that little thing in your pocket is for after all." Rosalie said in her wind chime voice. She knew that she would never be able to tell him just how back his disappearance had hurt her. "Emmett, I was so scared that something had happened to you. What would I do if you did not come home to me? You have never been gone that long without calling and letting me know that you were safe." She said to him, wishing that she could cry in that moment. Rosalie was relieved to have him home safe, but she was upset for him not staying in contact with her. "After everything that has happened to this family, you had to disappear without a trace and not let me know that you were ok. Do you have any idea how that make me feel?" She said to him and finally calmed down. She knew that he wanted to tell her now that he was home, but that did not make her feel any better about the time that he was gong. "If you want to tell me, then tell me." She said crossing her arms and walking to the couch in the living room to sit down, not that she needed to, it was just habit.

Rosalie sat down and turned to the side so that one leg was crossed in front of her on the couch. She still had her arms crossed and she was not going to make things easy for him. He had not make the last month or so easy for her. She knew that in all the time they had been together, she had never been so upset with him. Not even when he left her and met Maden's real mother. Rosalie could have really attached him for leaving her this time. She was trying not to think about the past, because she did not like to remind him of that time, but she could feel the doubt and insecurity in the back of her mind. She had not even thought about that while he was away. She had only been concerned with him coming home safely. However, now that he was back the jealousy and the fear came back to her. She could feel herself slipping back into the old Rosalie and she was not going to stop it. He needed to remember what happened when she got upset and anger. Rosalie looked at him and did not smile. "So are you going to tell me, or do I have to guess. I am sure that I can thing of a few reasons way you would leave me without even a phone call." Rosalie said turning to look at the picture of Maden that was on the end table beside the couch. She did not care if she hurt his feelings at the moment, he had hurt her for weeks. Most of the time, Rosalie never even thought about the time that they were apart, but now is was all she could think about. She did not want to hear that he had been with another woman again. Though she was a vampire, she could still be very jealous. After all she was very self-centered and vain. What did it say about her and her beauty, if he was stepping out on her with another woman, be it human or vampire. In thought instant Rosalie's furry won out over her self control. Rosalie picked up a vase and hurled it at him. She knew that he would dodge it, but it would get her point across. She heard the vase shatter against the wall and knew that she would have to replace it for Esme. "How could you, Emmett? After everything that we have been through and all the understanding that I have had. How could you leave me like that again?" She said in a raised voice. She knew that Emmett would get the meaning of her words with out her having to actually say them to him. Rosalie finally sat quietly on the couch with her head in her hands.

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett was grinning and he knew how upset Rosalie was with him right now. He would normally be concerned about how upset Rosalie was, but at the moment he was too excited about what he was about to tell her. Emmett was fairly certain that when Rosalie found out where he had been she would not have been as upset with him, if she was still angry at all. With his hand on her chin Rosalie finally started to look at his face and he knew that he was gaining ground quickly with her. "I am not pouting to begin with. I am upset with you. You could have at least called me, that is what that little thing in your pocket is for after all." Emmett opened his mouth to explain himself but Rosalie went into another explanation of how upset she was.

He knew that sometimes it was best to just let Rosalie rant out her frustrations but Emmett was becoming impatient to tell her what had happened. Emmett once again opened his mouth to explain why he had not called her in the time that he had been gone but Rosalie was now going into a tirade. Rosalie seemed to calm down finally after a few moments and told Emmett to explain what had happened. She had crossed her arms over her chest and went to sit down on the couch. Emmett felt his grin once again growing as he realized he was finally going to explain his actions to Rosalie. “Rose you aren’t going to believe me when I tell you where I have been, but you will be so happy.”

Rosalie still remained on the couch with her arms crossed and Emmett knew it would not be easy to wipe that look off of Rosalie’s face. "So are you going to tell me, or do I have to guess. I am sure that I can thing of a few reasons way you would leave me without even a phone call." Emmett growled out of inpatients that he was not being allowed to tell his story to Rosalie. He then noticed that she started looking at a picture of Maden and he frowned and then realized where Rosalie’s mind was probably going. ‘Oh shit she thinks I cheated on her.’ Emmett realized that thought rather quickly which was good because Rosalie had decided to throw a near by vase at his head. If he had not been a vampire he would have been hit, but he ducked and heard the vase shatter on the wall.

Emmett growled in frustration again as Rosalie was one step short of yelling at him and accusing him of stepping out on her. Rosalie then retreated to the couch and held her head in her hands. Emmett knew that it was likely for Rosalie to hit him but that did not stop him as he kneeled on the floor in front of her. “Babe I wasn’t stepping out on you. Yeah I was looking for another woman actually two other women but that isn’t my point.” Emmett held up a silver necklace with his dimpled grin and hurried on to explain, “Jasper should recognize it.” Emmett placed the necklace in Rosalie’s lap and crossed his arms over his chest and felt a proud smile split his face, “It used to belong to the doctors that had Jasper in Florida.”

Emmett went and kneeled in front of Rosalie, “Rose that was why I was gone for so long. I had been following those doctors that had been keeping Jazz captive.” Emmett held one of Rosalie’s hands and squeezed it, “I knew you couldn’t go find them because Jasper needed you here, so I went for you.”

[Rosalie Hale]

Rosalie listened as Emmett explained where he had been and that did not help her mood any. Emmett had gone after the doctor's that had held Jasper captive in Florida, by himself. What if something had happened to him? "YOU DID WHAT!" She yelled at him. She had completely lost herself and forgot that she was a vampire. She was glad that they leaved in the wood, but she was sure that Raine and Arkan had heard that scream. Rosalie was beside herself after that explaination. How could he have done that with out telling her or taking at least Edward with him. Rosalie knew that Emmett was the best in the family when it came to sheer strength, but sometimes he rushed in head first without thinking.

Rosalie jumped up from the couch and started to pace. She was getting anger again and need to control herself before she destroyed Esme's house. "You went after the doctor's without telling any of your family, so that we could come after you if we needed to. What the hell were you thinking, Emmett. You have a wife and a son that need you and you go off an a mission like that without telling us. Do you know how worried Maden and I have been? Jasper had to force me to leave our room. He even had be bring deer to me because I would not hunt." She ranted at him. She wanted nothing more that to forgive him and take him to their room, but he had to understand that he could not do that to her again. "Don't you ever to that to me again." She said as she ran into his arms. "I love you and I am glad that you are home safe." She said as she started kissing him again. She was hoping that he would carry he to their room, but if he did not she would figure something out. She started to kisses him all over his face and then finally found his lips and that is where she stayed. She would not pull away this time. He would have to be the one to break them apart now.

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett was nearly knocked back as Rosalie screamed at him. He was a little confused why she was so upset with him and after several moments realized that it had to do with him going alone. At the time Emmett considered asking someone from the family to go but everyone was tied up. Emmett did not see the crime in going after the doctors alone. He then realized that he was not going to be getting the home coming that he had expected, which admittedly had Emmett disappointed. Emmett stepped back when Rosalie jumped off of the couch and began to pace. Every time that Rosalie gave a reason to scold him, Emmett opened his mouth to defend his actions but Rosalie would carry on never giving him a chance. He realized at the moment Rosalie needed to vent, and scream and snap until she felt better. Emmett sat back less then patiently for Rosalie to finish.

Emmett stood up as he could feel Rosalie’s rant slowing to a stop. Rose was then in his arms again saying that she loved him and that she was glad to have him home. “I love you too Rose.” Then she began kissing him, and Emmett could feel himself grinning as he responded to his Rosalie’s kisses. Emmett curled and arm around Rosalie’s waist pulling her against him. He knew that one of them should have enough sense to making their way to the bedroom before things progressed any further. Emmett broke away from kissing Rosalie long enough to curl his other arm under Rose’s knees. He easily and quickly carried her to their bedroom.

[Rosalie Hale]

Rosalie felt Emmett kiss her back and knew what was coming next. When he broke their kiss, she moaned, but she felt his arm under her knees and knew that they were going up stairs. As he lifted her, she began kissing him again. She knew that he would walk and kiss her as the same time. She was not going to let him go for a long time now that he was home again. They had a long time to make up for. Rosalie and Emmett had always had a strong physical relationship, after all they were destructive at times. "I love you with every thing that I am, my monkey man." Rosalie whisper as she broke their kiss to trace down his next with her lips, stopping on the exact spot that Carlisle had bitten Emmett, all those years ago. She gently pressed her teeth to his neck there and nipped him.

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett was becoming extremely impatient the longer that they were down stairs. As soon as Rose was in his arms her lips were returning to his. Emmett was now able to run the rest of the distance to their room without taking his lips from hers. This is what Emmett had been missing the most was his time with his Rose. It had nearly killed him to be without her for so long with so little contact, but he knew just like the rest of the family probably did those doctors needed to be dealt with. Emmett was glad that he was now able to come home and relax with his wife.

He barely wasted time opening and closing their bedroom time. Emmett immediately pinned Rose to the wall next to the door. "I love you with every thing that I am, my monkey man." Emmett could feel his dimpled smile cross his face. He bent his elbows so that he could lean in closer to Rose. Rosalie began a trail of kisses down the side of Emmett’s neck and his hands curled into fist against the wall. He could feel her pause slightly and realized that she was at the spot where he had been bitten all those years ago. Emmett felt himself instinctively take in a sharp breath as Rosalie nipped that place. He pulled his arms from the wall and curled one arm around Rose holding her as close as their bodies would allow. Emmett placed his other hand in Rosalie’s hair. He easily lifted her and carried her to the bed that they shared with each other.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emmett laid in his and Rosalie’s bed looking up at the ceiling with an extremely clear smile on his face. He propped himself up on his side and looked down at his beautiful Rose. Emmett kissed Rosalie’s face with his smile still in place, “I love you Rose.”

[Rosalie Hale]

Rosalie lay on the bed in Emmett's arms and she was truely happy again. Her Emmett was back on he was with her. When she heard him say that he loved her, she smiled. "I love you, too." She said as she snuggled closer to him. She knew that she need to talk to him about everything that had happened while he was away. She knew that Jasper was not know to be happy with him for leaving her the way that he did. She pulled herself up into a sitting position and looked at him. "I guess I should tell you that Jasper is not happy with you for leaving me. He has been the one keeping me going." Rosalie said to him. She then thought about the other conversations that she and her twin had talked about.

Rosalie thought about the conversation that she and Jasper had about them returning to school. "Jasper and I were actually talking the other day about going back to school. Things are starting to slow down here, and we need to get back to our old lives. I miss the way that we all used to be when we were in school." Rosalie said as she thought about it. Rosalie thought about how close her siblings used to be. She knew that the family had been going apart over the last few months. She hardly ever saw their parents and the rest of the Cullen's were off with their own lives. "We need something to bring us back together like we used to be." Rosalie said in an almost sorrowful voice.

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett laid back and looked over at Rosalie as she sat up. She looked at Emmett, "I guess I should tell you that Jasper is not happy with you for leaving me. He has been the one keeping me going." Emmett sat up and put a hand on Rosalie’s chin. “I can handle Jasper being mad at me, and sometimes when you get upset with me. But Rose you have to understand I went because the family needed me too. Jasper needed you here with him to help him get better, Alice couldn’t have done much with the way her visions have been, Esme and Carlisle I can hardly remember the last time I saw them, and the same with Bella and Edward.” Emmett took his hand from Rosalie’s chin but continued, “I did not anyone messing with our family to get away with it.”

Emmett grinned when Rosalie brought up the idea of going back to high school. He listened as Rosalie explained that she wanted things to go back to the way that they had been before. Emmett sat up with an excited grin, “That is a great idea, when did you want to go back?” He was genuinely excited to go back to school, and just like Rosalie he wanted things to go back to normal. Back before they all thought Jasper had cheated on Alice, before Emmett had to go and chase down the doctors, before Rose had left with Jasper to get the twins back, and before the family had fallen apart. "We need something to bring us back together like we used to be." Emmett grinned, “They will Rose.” He placed a hand on the side of Rose’s face and leaned in closely with his dimpled grin on his face, “Beside Rose we have a lot to catch up on.”

[Rosalie Hale]

Rose listened as Emmett talked and explained why he left again. She knew that he was right, but that did not make things easier for her. When he got excited about going back to school that make her feel a lot better. "I was thinking of returning now. School has just started and we could register late." She said as she smiled at him. "I hope the others will return with us. I know that Jasper is wanting to go." Rosalie said. She was already planning her wardrobe for the first day back.

Rose thought about it and decided to ask Maden if he wanted to join them at the school. "We should see if Maden wants to go to school with us. He could start as a freshman." She said as Emmett leaned in grinning at her. She leaned toward his dimpled face and kissed him tenderly. She was glad that he was home and that they were going back to school. Rose like it when the family was together and happy.

[Emmett Cullen]

Emmett nodded as Rosalie said that they could start soon and just register for classes late. He once again felt his dimpled grin, “Hooray for high school.” Emmett was being partially sarcastic, but there was part of him that was excited to go. He really wanted to spend time with Rosalie whether it was at school or in their room. Now that the school situation had been decided Emmett’s mind was beginning to wander ever so slightly to the fact that he was finally alone with his wife. It had been too long since he had seen her much less spoken with her. Now Emmett was alone in their bed with only a few bed sheets separating them. He almost groaned in frustration as Rosalie turned the topic of thoughts back towards school.

Emmett nodded, “It would be a good idea for him to be around others; maybe make some friends.” He took only a few seconds of time before he gently tugged at the sheet that Rosalie had wrapped around herself. Emmett felt possessive of Rosalie and slipped on of his hands into hers and pulled it away from the sheet and down to the bed. He had one goal in mind now and that was to show his Rose how much he loved her.

[Rosalie Hale]

Rose was about to say something about Maden when she felt Emmett pull the sheet from around her. She lost her train of thought at that moment and was his arms again. Rose knew that they had lost time to make up and she was not going to stop him. She wrapped her arm that was not holding his, around him and pulled him closer to her. She began to kiss him again, and the time melted away. Rosalie had only her husband on her mind for now. She was in heaven in his arms and that was were she wanted to be. Rosalie knew that they did not need to talk. She felt her body move to align with his in perfect harmony. She was his and she loved him. Emmett was the only thing in her life that made being a vampire worth it. She would live for eternity with him. "I love you." She wispered to him.
