Emmett was outside in the backyard. It was sunny outside, something that is very rare in this godforsaken place, and he was enjoying the sunshine. My lips automatically twitched up into a smile as I watched him, knee deep into the river. Jasper was sitting on the bank doubled over in laughter at watching Emmett wrestle with a fish. Speed, strength…it wasn’t quick enough for him to catch those slippery buggers. He was fast enough to catch them, but they were like a bar of soap, the harder he held on to them, the faster they slid out of his fingers.

At this point, it was merely just entertaining to watch the fish propel themselves lazily through the water as Emmett splashed and spluttered through the mud to get to them.

Alice tapped me on the shoulder. “Rose, what do you think about this color?” I turned to look at her. Her brow crinkled in concentration. “I mean, the Capri’s look great, but the color is off…” She pointed to the screen.

“It looks fine, Alice.” I shrugged.

She nodded. “Yup. I’m going to have to do this all by myself,” she muttered to herself.

She continued to press button after button on the screen as she mixed, matched and changed colors of the clothes displayed there. Suddenly she went rigid in her chair, her eyes abnormally vacant. Just another vision… I turned around to watch Jasper and Emmett again. The scene had changed, and now they were both covered head to toe in mud.

I rolled my eyes at the pair of them.

“Something’s wrong with Bella…”Alice whispered so low, even I had to strain to catch her words. “Oh…no. It can’t be!” she gasped in horror. “Hand me the phone and then get Carlisle.” I tossed her the small silver cell phone. “Hurry!”

Of course, leave it to Edward to kill her. Honestly, that was the only thing that flashed through my mind. All this trouble and angst so he could lose control on their honeymoon. Great. I wasn’t ready for depressing Edward. The eight months he was abroad were the worst times my family has ever seen. Honestly, they were downright unpleasant. I was grateful the little human, who I now call by her name, took him back.
