Rosalie's POV

Chapter 16: Waking up

"Unbelievable, I say."

I awoke in a different room. The walls were painted a turquoise color that was reminiscent of the ocean and seemed to radiate calm. The uncovered window boasted a spectacular view of the frosty mountains as the wind swirled around and whistled outside. I noticed a flicker of movement, probably some tourists a few hundred miles away. I was looking toward the door when the same voice that had roused me from sleep spoke again,

"Who would have imagined when we left for a few days what we find upon our return?" It was a female. Tanya.

"This is a surprise but certainly a marvelous one." Carmen spoke as the others chuckled softly. "They're so … uh ... well, pardon me for the lack of words. I just don't know—so many questions..."

"The children are half-bloods right?" It was a male voice with a slight, almost imperceptible Latin accent. I recognized him as Eleazar.

"Yes. Half human and half vampire." Carlisle answered.

"So beautiful," Kate the blonde gifted vampire said. "They even have their father's dimples. Garrett you should hold her."

There was a pause, before the other vampire replied hesitantly.

"I'm not quite sure that's the best idea…"

"You'll be fine. Her scent isn't as potent as a human's. Go ahead."

I heard her steps move farther away. I got to my feet unsteadily. The trek to the door was slow, seemingly endless. I was giving myself a moment for my mind to catch up with everything that happened. Unfortunately, my progress was as slow as my gait.

Finally I reached for the doorknob and twisted it. The living room grew slowly silent but I barely noticed. Perhaps it was the fact that, just a few minutes ago, I was positive I was about to perish. More likely it was the mind blowing realization that now my life was officially perfect. Either way I stopped, as still as a statue, afraid to proceed further.

"Rose, you're awake." Tanya exclaimed as she approached me. I didn't say anything, could do nothing but stare at the forest green blanket that was held so securely in her arms. I didn't understand why, but my instinct was to back away. I hadn't realized I had moved until my back touched the door softly.

"I—I.."

Tanya didn't hesitate in the face of my terror but simply handed me the blanket and smiled as she watched my reaction. My hands grasped the cloth and the only thought that entered my blank mind was that the baby inside was lighter than a feather. I forced myself to move the blanket slightly and peer inside.

The most beautiful baby girl gazed up at me with piercing hazel irises. I blinked, she copied me. She was perfect. Her smooth face was the color of freshly fallen snow. Her red rose lips were a miniature version of mine. She had arrow straight, tiny tresses of platinum blonde hair.

Kate and Garrett, holding my second precious child started coming toward me. With a firm grip on my daughter, I looked at the baby in Garrett's arms.

She was a girl too. She was identical to her sister but her eyes were lighter, jade instead of emerald. Who knew? Emmett had been right all along.

"They're so perfect."

What else was there to say but the truth? It was certainly the only thing I could come up with. Tanya and Kate nodded. I walked to the living room with my baby. The others followed behind.

"Emmett?" I asked Carlisle.

He came up to me and took the baby; I took my second child from Garrett, eager to get acquainted with her, and sat next to Carlisle on the sofa.

"I thought it would be better to notify him when you we're awake. How are you feeling Rose?"

"Fine. I'm.. a bit confused and dazed. It's just... Carlisle, I honestly thought this was the end for me." I couldn't seem to take my eyes off my baby even as I spoke to Carlisle. Her little hand shot up. "She's the firstborn, isn't she?"

Carlisle nodded. "Yes, and she reminds me so much of you, Rose."

He gave the baby a radiant smile lightly brushing her fingers with his. "She drank the baby formula Carmen was feeding her with no fuss even though her little face showed her absolute revulsion." Carlisle chuckled and I had to smile.

"Let me guess, she," I pointed to the baby Carlisle held. "Is just like Emmett."

Carlisle grinned. "Very much. You certainly can't persuade her to drink formula. She prefers the animal blood. Don't blame her either."

Carlisle rocked his newest granddaughter back and forth.

"Do they sleep?" I suddenly wondered.

"Of course." Kate responded tossing her honey textured blonde tresses.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Two days. That's how long it's been since we arrived." Tanya came from the kitchen with two baby bottles. One was full of a red liquid and the other contained a creamy white beverage that had to be formula. She shook the bottles and I watched with fascination as she took my second baby and started feeding her the red liquid. Carmen arrived at my side and handed me the other bottle. My baby girl starting sucking as soon as the bottle touched her tongue and I had to giggle at her disgusted face. In a few minutes, both bottles were empty. Garrett and Tanya volunteered to put the girls to bed.

"Emmett and the others should be arriving soon." Carlisle told us as he closed the cellphone and started walking to the hallway.

"No word from the Volturi?" Eleazar asked casually as I turned to face him.

"I assumed they would still be trying to find a way to erase the competition. Edward said the Cullens were quite a threat to Aro."

"He's right. Aro would do anything for Alice, Edward or Bella to join him. He even sent a guard to check on Renesmee. Didn't you work for the Volturi?"

Eleazar nodded his sun bright eyes looked past me as he remembered. "Many years ago, before I met Carmen. I had joined Aro partly because I thought the Volturi wanted to maintain order. I figured out quickly they only wanted control and not peace. I was extremely disillusioned so I decided to end our association."

I couldn't hide my shock and disbelief. "And Aro simply let you go? I thought you were really important because you can sense if a vampire possessed an extra ability, a talent?"

Eleazar nodded and sighed looking toward a window. "That's right. The only good thing with the Volturi is that they won't obligate you to be part of them if you don't wish to be."

Suddenly another question occurred to me. "Eleazar, can you sense any talents that the twins may have?"

Eleazar's gold eyes met mine for a second. "Now that you mention it. Well, it's hard to say really. They're so young. Perhaps once they're a little older."

"I see."

A knock sounded. Eleazar rushed to the main door while I stayed in my seat, thinking of the possibility of the babies having some kind of power. Neither Emmett nor I had a gift but that didn't mean our daughters couldn't have one, well, at least I didn't think so.

"I'm great, don't worry,"

I said for the 30th time to the worried faces surrounding me. Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, and Esme were like broken records stuck on repeat. Little Ness, on the other hand, didn't seem concerned about anything. She kept asking when she could see the babies. Emmett wasn't asking me if I was fine either. He simply stared at me, his amber irises wide with bewilderment.

"Stop looking at me like that!" I playfully brushed Emmett's hand away from mine. Edward and the rest of them, with the exception of Emmett, started following Carlisle who was eager to introduce them to the twins.

"Did you name them yet?" Emmett glanced in the direction of the bedroom before looking back to me. His face appeared stressed and yet astonished and bemused all at the same time.

"No. They're both girls, though."

"Really? I was right! Bet they look just like their Mom."

He grinned boyishly to himself. "Fawn and… Andrea?"

I gasped at him in horror even as my hand shot up to smack his head. He moved just before I made contact.

"We should decide when we have them together."

"Good idea."

"Wow." Emmett said dreamily, staring at the sleeping baby girls. Just a sec ago the others had finished seeing them and it gave me the chance to introduce, Emmett to his daughters privately. Alice had brought a store worth of clothes and been changing their outfits every hour. The poor darlings were exhausted.

"They're so…"

"Perfect?" I offered.

He grinned, although he never took his eyes from our girls. "I was actually thinking gorgeous, too good for words, and amazing but perfect could work." I slapped his arm. "Kidding, babe. We should name them right now."

"I agree. She's," My figure adjusted to the baby on the left side. "The youngest. Carlisle says her attitude is similar to yours. And the twin on the right is the firstborn."

Emmett looked at them. "'Kay huh. You say she's just like me, so Andrea Fawn Cullen and, eh Ivonne Lillian Cullen. What do ya say?"

"Eh," I replied. "Andrea Cullen and Ivonne Lillian Cullen."

Emmett frowned.

"Andrea Fawn Cullen."

I laughed in his face.

"Andrea Cullen."

"Andrea Fawwnn Cullen." He insisted.

"Whatever," I said throwing my hand in the air. "No Fawn in her name. She's a baby not a meal. And that's final."

Emmett sneered. "We'll see about that, babe."

He planted a kiss on Andrea and Ivonne's foreheads before dashing out the door.

I brushed my hand against their ivory faces. They slept like angels, eyelids shut with the faintest pink blush spread across their pale cheeks. It was hard to believe that these two little girls were mine. My daughters. It felt like a dream that would, at any moment, disappear as I woke up.

I signed and looked at Emmett. "Baby, do you want to go for a hunt?" He must have sensed I wanted to talk to him alone because he nodded and stood up. I followed behind him.

About a hundred miles into the woods we stopped short. The trees seemed to glow in the light of the setting sun. The smell of wet grass surrounded us. It wasn't unbearable just different maybe because I'd spent too much time locked inside.

I looked around for Emmett. Nothing. In the distance a bird emerged from the tree whistled and flew away.

"Emmett?"

The smallest movement came from behind me. I crouched and turned around. From behind me Emmett's hands covered my eyes.

"Not very amusing, Em." I said mockingly.

He chuckled and let go of me. "Immortality is quite amazing," He turned quickly so his back was to an oak tree. "True. Although that's a good thing. We have forever and ever. Your point?"

I rearranged my wild wavelets. The roaring sound of a car's engine was loud which meant we must have been close to a highway. After the one car, however, there was silence. Emmett didn't answer. Finally he sighed.

"Wow. I expected you to say something like, 'endless time being a monster' you know your usual response."

He had quoted me with a smirk.

I thought about it. Any other day I would have said the exact same thing regarding my thoughts on endless time but now, well, it was different I had something to look forward to, something to live forever for.

"It's different now, Em. At this moment forever seems like a very good thing to me."

"Cool. Hey, you wanted to talk with me about something huh? That's why you asked to leave the others and come on a 'hunt'?"

I nodded.

"Yes. See, Em I was thinking maybe we could leave for a couple of mouths with the girls. Not too long or anything but perhaps live apart from the family, just the four of us. I'm sure that Esme would be fine…"

He bit his lip and crossed his arms over his chest, "I don't know, Rosie. I mean, why so soon? Maybe in a year. We do have forever remember." He teased.

I grimaced.

"They won't be children forever though, Emmett. I just... I want to know them, watch them grow up. But you're right. It's too soon now, we should wait."

"Yeah." With that he came to me and bent down for a kiss. We proceeded to the hunt. I smiled as Emmett complained about not being able to give Felix a good punch in the face.

A/N: I hope everyone liked this chapter! Yes I know some people wanted a boy and girl but my original plan was for girl twins. I have thought of a whole different story with them. So sorry for not updating I lost some interest, but no worries I'm into this story again. Review! Can I get up to 100 reviews?
