Chapter Text
Rosalie always dreamed of getting married, having a beautiful home, having children, watching her children grow up and get married, seeing her grandchildren playing in the backyard next to her husband, both gray-haired. But this dream was taken from her by her ex-fiancé Royce King II and her drunken friends who left her on the verge of death, the same night Carlisle, her current adoptive father, found her and turned her into a vampire. Rosalie met Emmett and the two fell in love, young forever.
Rosalie cared for the newborn Renesmee until Bella woke up to her new life as a vampire, fed her, saw her sleep in her arms. Rosalie experienced motherhood for a little while. After the Volturi left upon realizing that Renesmee was not a threat to them, and all of his family's friends who were willing to fight in the side of the Cullen's, Rosalie found herself silent every day, thinking. She knew that now everything was at peace, her family would be together forever, but something in her was missing, even though she was a vampire, even without having her heart beating anymore, she felt that deep down something was missing.
Rosalie and Emmett were sitting in the living room, upstairs, chatting low despite all their family being able to hear, but the only ones who could hear were Alice and Jasper who were in the house, the others had gone hunting. Alice and Jasper were downstairs in the house, both in silence, the short-haired brunette, was having another one of her visions. Her sister, Rosalie, and Emmett... And a baby?
Alice waited for Carlisle and Esme to come home, of course, she knew exactly what that vision meant, knew that vision had something to do with the way her sister was behaving in those days, so far away. She talked to her parents, talked to the rest of the family, except Rosalie and Emmett, they had to do something to cheer Rosalie back.

Rosalie and Emmett had gone hunting, when they returned, they found their family in front of the house, a parked car that they recognized to be one of the family cars, Alice had the biggest smile Rosalie ever saw, Alice hugged her for no reason and Rosalie strange, she and her husband had no idea what was going on, but everyone there seemed excited about something. Alice reached out with a pamphlet to Rosalie, the blonde picked it up and when she saw what it was about, her eyes widened. "What does this mean?" She asked looking at Alice and then at Carlisle and Esme.
"We know what's been bothering you, keeping you so far away from us, so we did some research and found one of the best orphanages in Alaska. They're waiting for you for an interview." Alice said, never failing to smile. "You leave today. It's all taken care of."
The couple hugged their family and got in the car before they left for their destination. 44 hours and 2,318.2 mi by car until they arrived at their destination, Emmett parked the car in front of the white building, the couple got out of the car, and hand in hand entered the orphanage where a lady in her 50s waited for them with a smile welcoming the young couple. She sent them to her office, where the three of them sat, ready to have their lives changed forever.

"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, are you here looking to adopt a baby, is that it?" asked the middle-aged lady who looked at the young couple who looked no less than teenagers. When Alice told them that everything was ready, she meant that Rosalie and Emmett had documents ready with birth dates with ages that said they were 10 years older than they appeared to be, papers that they are legally married, and every document necessary to be able to adopt a baby or a child. "Is there preference? Girl or boy? Baby or child?"
"We don't think about age, in fact, either of the two will be perfect. But we have preference for a girl." Rosalie said smiling. Mrs. Gibbs smiled and looked at the documents, usually she knew what to ask all the couples who went there to adopt one of their children, but now looking at this couple, she could see in their eyes how much they wanted to start a family. Mrs. Gibbs got up and looked at them both. "I ask you to wait here, I'll be back in a minute." The couple just agreed with their heads, not knowing what to say.
A few minutes passed that might seem like hours for someone waiting anxiously, and Mrs. Gibbs was back, she stopped at the open door and smiled broadly. "I believe I found the perfect child for you." Saying this, a young woman who was supposed to be in her early 30s came in and in her arms there was a baby asleep and wrapped in a pink blanket. The moment Rosalie's eyes landed on the sleepy little human being, she felt that her heart could beat again just to see that little baby, who was now in her arms and snuggled up near her chest without caring with the coldness of her body.
"She arrived at the orphanage a few hours after she was born, was left in front of our door, with no ticket and no sign of the biological mother. We didn't think she was ready for a home, but I think she had found a great home with you." Ms. Gibbs said, looking at the couple who couldn't take their eyes off the sleeping little baby. Rosalie was delighted with the little human baby in her arms, she heard her heart beating so calmly in her sleep, slowly stroked her little face and smiled when she saw her short and little blond hair, just like yours. Emmett felt the same way, as delighted as Rosalie.
After some guidance and signing some papers officiating the adoption, Rosalie and Emmett left with a new addition to their family. That night they spent in town to buy some clothes, diapers and supplies that little Everly Rose Hale Cullen would need. The next morning they left back for Forks with the little Fleur asleep in the back seat.
