*He grinned and stepped behind Rosalie as she washed dishes at a quicker pace than a human, but seeing her be so...house wife like was different. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her against his chest and kissed at her neck and earlobe. Grinning like the cat who ate the canary he whispered into her ear.* "Care to have some alone time while Ryder is sti--" *His words were cut off by a giggle and he looked out the window before them only to see a boy with curly hair just like Ryder, hanging from a tree and swinging. His eyes widened and he moved from Rosalie, to the back door and swung it open.* "Ryder?" "Hey daddy! Wanna come play?" He swung down and dropped perfectly to his feet, then sat down and looked up with a big smile. "What's wrong?"

~she had been thinking of other things that she could do with the bubbles when Emmett moved away and headed to the door. She didn't miss the giggle, either. She put the towel down on the counter and headed over to where Emmett stood in the doorway staring out at a little boy standing there. She frowned and looked at Emmett~
Did he just call you daddy?
~she looked closer at him and if her heart had the ability to stop, it would have. There stood her little boy, smiling up at them as though he had a huge secret that he was sharing with them.~
Wh.... Ryder?

*Ryder giggled and nodded as an answer to his name.*
"That's me."
*Emmett looked over at Rosalie bewildered and surprised at this new...discovery. Their little boy had grown, had a growth spurt over night. Evidently, he wasn't that different from his cousin Renesmee, it just took longer. Running a hand along the back of his neck, he watched Ryder climb a tree and dangle then giggle more. That was something he'd do for sure.*
"Look Mommy! Look Daddy! No hands!"
*He laughed more and seemed to be enjoying himself. Then...he stopped and his face got serious. He seemed to smell something and flipped, dropping to his feet gracefully and taking off into a sprint into the forest.*
"RYDER! WAIT!"

~she didn't know how to take it. Ryder, her baby, was grown! He was running and playing and climbing trees. She was standing there staring at him, not saying a word until he took off into the forest with a determined expression on his face.~
~her eyes went to Emmett and she let out a quick yell before taking off after her son and her husband. What in the world was going on?~

*He darted after him and quickly caught up behind him, but stopped short to watch him. He caught Rosalie as she began to speed past him and held her to his chest, her back to him. He whispered softly.*
"Watch him...what's he doing."
*He watched Ryder crouch into a position and keep his eyes on a small deer only about a few weeks old. It was the most fascinating thing he'd seen. Ryder was hunting...by himself. Holding onto the sides of her arms, he watched fascinated by his son.*

~seeing her little boy take off like that was hard to watch, especially when Emmett grabbed her and held her close to him~
Watch him... what he's doing.
~so she stood back and watched. She felt for the baby deer, but her son had to eat. She gripped Emmett's hand tight as her not-so-little-anymore son skirted around it quietly and then leaped. It didn't make a sound as his teeth sank into its neck and she stared at him, watching him in the way that only a proud mother could. She looked up at Emmett in awe~
Wow. He did it... on his own!

*He smiled and watched on as Ryder leapt into the air and tackled the deer. It never stood a chance as Ryder began to drink greedily from it. He clapped and shook his head then looked down at Rose.*
"He sure did, our son did it. His first hunt, on his own. Carlisle won't believe this."
*Turning back to look at Ryder proudly walking up to meet them, he squat down to his eye level and playfully slugged his arm.*
"Way to go champ. How'd you do that? I mean, I thought you liked human food, what made you want blood?"
Ryder shrugged, "I dunno daddy, he smelled good. It was like...when mommy would bake cookies and the smell would make my mouth water. Well, it did that...but then...now I want a burger. I'm super hungry."
*Emmett laughed loudly and turned to look over his shoulder at Rose.*
"He is SO like me..."
*He said proudly and beamed like he'd won the lottery, because to him....he very well had.*

~she laughed and shook her head at them both before reaching out her arms for Ryder.~
Don't think that since you're all huge and stuff that you're not still my baby. Come here.
~Ryder laughed and climbed into her arms, where she nuzzled him and ran her fingers through his curly locks. He was growing. Growing much more quickly than they had expected. She'd have to call Carlisle later and see if he had any explanations for it. For now...~
You want a burger, huh? Do you think we can just go to town and get one?
~she hated cooking real food, and especially hated dealing with raw meat. It was so... unnatural. She wrinkled up her nose and looked at her little boy, then her husband, and grinned again. She never would have thought that this life, the one that she had hated so much at first, would ever get to this point... worth living.~

*He chuckled and stood when Ryder climbed into her arms and kissed her cheek. Their little boy had grown. It was such an amazing feeling, such a milestone. He watched on as Rose and Ryder interacted and thought about all the things he wanted to teach Ryder, all the things they could do together. He was a dad...and his boy was growing up and just like him. It was amazing.*
"I say we go into town, this deserves celebration don't you think? But uh.."
*He pointed to his own chin and winked at Ryder as Ryder brought a hand up to his face and wiped at his chin, looking at his hand that smeared deer blood was on.*
"Oops...I might need to clean up mommy..."
*Emmett laughed again*

~she just shook her head and grinned at Emmett again~
We'll get you cleaned up, then me and daddy will go eat really quick before taking you out. How's that sound? Where do you want to go?
~Ryder shrugged his shoulders and wiggled to get down, so she sat him on the ground and as soon as his feet hit, off he went towards the house. She looked back at Emmett before walking over and wrapping her arms around his neck, standing on her tiptoes and pressing her lips against his.~
He's growing much faster than we had expected. You gonna be okay with that?

*He smiled and watched Ryder jet back to the house as he turned to face Rosalie and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He leaned forward to kiss her back and held her tight against him. Brushing some of her hair away, he kissed the side of her face, cheek, forehead and then her lips again.*
"Of course I'm okay with it, our little boy is growing up." He grinned, "And that just means I can teach him stuff now."
*He grabbed her hand and began to run with her for their own hunt before dinner.*
