*He stood in the door frame of Ryder's nursery and watched him sleep. His chest moving up and down slowly, his face peacefully dreaming. Every now and then his hand would scrunch up and Emmett would smile. Rosalie was taking a bath and asked him to join but somehow, someway he declined her invitation. The last few months of fatherhood had shocked him. He'd never thought he would be cut out for this. Ever. So many years on this earth and he had yet to ever fear much, but he feared screwing up. He feared not giving the right lessons or seeing his son angry, hurt or even defeated. Zoe had given them the most precious gift they could ever ask for, her selfless act of love that she bestowed upon them in her dying breath...never had he seen something like that. The one thing Rosalie wanted and yearned for knowing everyday it would never happen, was now happening.
Their son continued to grow and thrive, each day a new amazing feat he'd accomplish and now...now he was gifted. It only worried him more. Aro...Aro was a collector and he'd proven time and time again that gifted vampires were a necessity to him and he'd acquire them in any way. Clenching his fists at the thought, he calmed himself and promised...no vowed to whoever would listen that Aro would never find out about Ryder's gifts. He promised Zoe he'd take care of him and he would, even if it meant death for him. He now saw why Bella would risk everything for Nessie. He'd do the same for Rose or Ryder in a heartbeat without another thought.*
"Emmett?"
*Her sweet voice made him turn away from the sleeping child that had stole his heart. Turning to face her, he walked out the nursery and closed the door softly.*
"Hey beautiful.."
*He grinned and kissed her lips softly. They had a good nine hour before Ryder would wake, they didn't need sleep and he could think of a few things to do in that time.*
