I walked into Carlisle's den where he and Esme were talking. "Sorry to interrupt. Can I get a minute with you two?"
I asked as I closed the door. Rosalie was with Bella and Nessie and I knew it was now or never. Things seemed calm around here and I had to try something to help Rosalie. The girl I loved in all the world, my angel.
Carlisle looked concerned, Esme looked like she was ready to help. These were my parents for intents and purposes, but they filled their roles well.

*Conversing with my darling wife on the upcoming holidays who was on the guest list since our family is growing wondering if we need to add another guest house to keep everyone comfortable. Emmett's presence asking for a moment of our time, we dropped our discussion giving our son our full and undivided attention.*
Of course Emmett you can have all the time in the world. What is it you would like to discuss. Please have a seat.
*Looking at my wife I can see the beginnings of worry on her luminescent face, taking her hand into mine. Squeezing it with reassurance.*

*I was sitting in the media with Bella and Nessie. I was so glad Nessie...they were back up at the main house. Nessie was drawling in the floor as Bells and I were sitting together on the couch. "So how is life over at the cottage now that there is one less thing to worry about?" My eyes cut over to where Nessie sat. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her tiny hands moving back and forth over the paper. I was so glad that she was safe and still with me...us*

*sitting with Carlisle, we discuss the upcoming holiday season and all the festivities that would be planned for that time. Looking up as the door opened, seeing their son Emmett walk in, asking for a few minutes of their time. Looking over at her husband, she smiled at her son at he sat*
Yes Emmett, we always have time for all of our children. Is there something going on? Rosalie, is she all right? has something else happened?
*holding Carlisle's hand in hers, she searches Emmett's face for any indication of what could be on his mind at this moment in time. She could see the concern on his face, but other than that, he seemed like his old self.*

I sighed and folded my arms across my chest as I leaned against the closed door. Thinking of how to word it just right.
"Esme...Carlisle. I know that in the past Rose and I....we've destroyed a few things." I grinned sideways at the thought, then lost the smile. "But this time, it's not about that. Well fully...anyway look. Rosalie is having a hard time. You know...the whole can't-have-a-child thing. I think she just needs some time away, we need some time away. With every thing that's happened. We love you all very much, but I think this surprise will be good for her. Would you both allow us some time away on Isle Esme?"
I asked with full sincerity, knowing that Rose had fell in love with the island. I'd have to ask Carlisle one day how to purchase an island. Rose would like that.

*Look at Emmett and Esme gauging the temperature of the conversation. We all could see the strain on Rose with everything that has happened, I figured once she processed it should would roll with the flow as the rest of us. With this confession I whole heartily agree some time away should be a restive cure. Smiling at my wife I say,*
Emmett I think it would be a lovely thing for the both of you to do, spending some time together should be the ticket. Isle Esme was my wedding present to this beauty, it's her decision only. I defer to my lovely intelligent wife.
*Placing my hand on her knee with a slight squeeze. Thinking back to all our trips there with fondness.*

*hearing Emmett's confession and feeling Rosalie's pain herself. She laid her hand over her husbands as it rested on her knee. Smiling up at their son, she nodded her head*
Emmett, I agree with Carlisle, time away would do you both good. And if Isle Esme is where you would like to go, then you are welcome to use it for as long as you like. It is a beautiful oasis, calming and restorative. It will do Rosalie good, to be away.
*smiling up at him, she rises and walks to Emmett, giving him a hug, speaking softly to him*
She will be fine, it will just take time, but she will adjust. Go and enjoy, but please, be safe, and we will be just a phone call away ok?
*pulling back, taking her seat back on the sofa next to her husband*

I sighed a long sigh of relief. "Thank you Esme...Mom." I said as I hugged her back. Nodding to my father, as I smiled. "I have awesome parents!" They both smiled at me as I looked down for a moment, then looked back to Carlisle.
"Do you ever think she'll get....over it I guess? I mean we can adopt like you all right?" I was never one to say my "feelings" but...when it came to her, my angel. I had to do what I could to make her happy...to fix it.

*Emmett's face read a bit of anguish for Rose and hope that things will change for the better. Not really having a ready answer for this line of questioning, looking at my wife, since she would be the better one to give this answer.*
Emmett I am happy with my family and my life, I could speculate on Rose but I am not so sure that it would be a 100% correct answer. I think your Mother here could tell you more than I could. *sighs* We wish we can bear their pain, but we cannot. They may be called the fairer sex, but they are the stronger ones emotionally.
*Looking at Esme with love and devotion wishing that he could bear her emotional burden for even one minute he would.*

*smiling up at her son, she sighed and spoke softly to him*
Emmett, I wish I could say that she will get over it, but I can only tell you from my perspective. For me, I have dealt with the fact that I will never carry a child, and I have accepted that, but what helped me is you and the other children. You all fill a void that I had carried inside me. I think, that with time Rosalie will come to terms with it, and should you two decide to adopt a child, as Carlisle and I have done, I truly believe it will ease some of her burden.
*smiling up at Emmett, then looking at Carlisle, his eyes bright with the love he carries, not only for her, but for their family, she kisses him softly*
I hope that this helps you Emmett, and if Rosalie ever needs to talk about any of this, she can come to me and I will help her at much as I can.

I couldn't help but feel better at Esme and Carlisle's kind and gentle words. Esme made a lot of sense and her advice helped me to see that I just had to be there for her emotionally. Let her know she was a great wife and perhaps bring up the option of adoption.
"Thank you both, so much. I better go tell Rosalie to pack...you know how she can't pack light." Chuckling as I hugged both of them and happy that I was saved by that angel named Rosalie, in the woods, many years ago. I was the lucky one.

*Emmett pulls him in for a tight hug, I pull him tighter. He and Rose will weather this patch, I know but a parent fervent hope is they never have to suffer trials and tribulations. With a large pat on the pack we let go, watching him hug his Mother, and exiting the room. Sitting back down next to Esme picking her up depositing her into my lap.*
I think the children will be just fine. Rest, relaxation and time away will be just the ticket. Now where were we about the guest cottage? I don't want to add onto the house it's too big as it is.

*hugging her son, watching him leave, she sighs softly, hoping and praying that they can weather this storm. Feeling Carlisle's arms go around her, and his lap under her, she smile at her love*
A guest cottage? I think we should build one, well how about a couple. Then we will have plenty of room for family and guests alike.
*looking into his golden eyes, smiling*
Also, maybe we should look into purchasing another escape for the family. Somewhere they can go to get away, relax, have fun, not that I mind them using Isle Esme, but if we have two children that want to get away at the same time, that would create a problem. Think about love, and then we can check into it....
*kissing her husband softly, hugging him close to her*
