I'm so happy Emmet is finally where he belongs! And that he past the test with Rose's Dad! Now all we need is for the operation to be a success and hope her Mother lives long enough to see Rose and Emmet married!

Elizabeth sat at her vanity looking at her pale face in the light. Her hair was gone, her eyes were dull. It was all happening too fast, too fast for her to comprehend, too fast for her to say everything she wanted too. She took a deep breath and dabbed at her eyes with a tissue. Rosealie would be having surgery the next morning and she was took weak to make the trip to be there next to her daughter. Her daughter, no longer a little girl, but a young woman in love and engaged. She felt a sob knawing in her throat as she thought of Rosealie getting married and of not being there for her, to see her say the vows that would bind her with the man she loved. She wouldn't be there to see her grandchildren. Worse than the physical ache was the emotional ache and emptiness that she felt. She sat up as the door opened.
Rosealie looked at her mother through the mirror and smiled,"Emmet is here!"
"Oh Rosie!", she smiled and turned,"Where is he?"
"Down stairs with dad, I really wanted you to meet him."
"I want to meet him", she answered,"Come sit", she motioned to the chair next to the vanity,"I am so sorry I can't be at the hospital with you."
"It's okay mom", she shook her head,"I know you'll be here and thinking of me."
"Did you pack everything you need?"
"Toothpaste included," she smiled.
"Good," she took her hands,"I love you so much Rosealie and no matter what happens, hold onto that."
Rosealie pulled her hands away and stared with confusion at her mother,"You're not going any where mom! It's not time yet!"
"Honey", Elizabeth cupped her daughter's cheek in her hand,"It's happening faster than we want it too. I promise you I am not going anywhere right now, but I just want you to know that I love you more than anything. When I asked God to give me a child and I got you,"she swiped at her tears,"I knew that I had a miracle and look at you."
Rosealie felt tears sliding down her cheeks as she wrapped her frail mother in her arms. Their tears were soaking into the other. She couldn't think of a day when she woul dhave to reflect on this moment as a memory rather than a reality. She pulled back and studied Elizabeth's face,"Emmet and I need to get married soon."
"No, Rosie, don't rush," she said,"You will have surgery than the speech therapy and you need to concentrate on that."
"You put it together mom!", she was excited over the idea.
"I couldn't do that Rosie, it's your wedding."
"Please mom? I will be busy with therapy and Emmet will have a lot going on, plus being with me. I know he would agree with me. Please?"
Elizabeth smiled,"Talk to Emmet and see what he thinks."

The hospital room smell sterile and pungent, the florescent lights were bright and reflected off the cold tile. Rosealie placed her purse on the edge of the bed while her father spoke with the doctor. As she stared out the window she felt Emmet's arms encircle her. She linked her fingers with his, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. After the following morning everything in her world would change. She was going to be able to hear & soon to talk and communicate. Something she had never been able to do. The level of excitement was equal to the level of fear she felt. But with Emmet she had strength, more strength that she had ever thought possible.
Emmet turned Rosealie to face him,"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine", she nodded,"Nervous."
"Everything will be fine", he said with encouragement,"I'll be staying with you tonight and Damon will be here before they take you in."
"After my dad leaves, I want to talk to you about something."
"Okay", he said taking her hand as Morgan approached them.
"Everything is all set," he began,"They will be prepping you for surgery at about nine am. I will be here before then with Damon."
"Thanks Daddy", Rosealie smiled before hugging him.
"Do you need anything before I go?", he looked between his daughter and Emmet.
"We'll be fine sir,"Emmet replied,"I promise to take care of her tonight."
"Thank you, Emmet", Morgan shook his hand,"I love you Rosie", he kissed her cheek,"See you kids in the morning."
Rosealie watched as he walked out the door,"We're finally alone", she signed to Emmet with a wide smile.
"And in a hospital", he laughed as they sat on the edge of the bed,"I missed you so much."
"You have no idea," she felt her cheeks glowing with a familiar flush as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling his face down to hers. She had missed him more than she could have fathomed. Having him with her was like a puzzle piece finally being put into place. His lips were perfectly molded to hers and his arms held her tightly against him.
"Thought you wanted to tell me something", he said with a lazy smile as they separated.
She straightened herself and looked at him,"My mom is not doing well."
"I know, you're dad told me."
"Because of that I thought we should think about getting married sooner."
"Are you sure? I just don't want you to feel rushed about it. I mean, I respect why you want to get married sooner, but I want it to be right."
"Having my mother there will make it right. I don't want to look back and regret her being gone."
"I understand," he nodded.
"So with that", she crossed her legs under her,"What would you say if my mom did most of the planning?"
He turned and faced her,"As long as I can give her my mum's number and they do it together."

****Please note, I do not know Emmet's parents' names. I apologize & it is not intentional*****
January in upstate New York was notorious for being bitterly cold with snow on the ground and winds whipping down from the mountains. Gray clouds were all too common as the next front was prepared to sweep down from Canada promising snow and sleet. But none of that could chase away the warmth from inside the home. Families were gathered around a large dinner table, talk mingled with laughter, and the sounds of silver ware against china. It was the last night before Emmet and Rosealie would say "I do", in a small ceremony put together by their mothers. Rosealie gave Emmet's hand a squeeze under the table, hie eyes meeting hers in understanding and love. It had been rough directly after the surgery for her to hear again; frustration over not being able to talk right away. The months she had spent in therapy and the months yet to go. Her mother still fighting the cancer that was eating away at her. She could scarcly count the number of times that Emmet had held her while she cried over it all. He never judged or tried to force what he thought were the right words, he had simply let her go through the emotions. It had in turn made them work harder as a couple to be strong together. It was not to say that they were perfect or didn't disagree, but at the end of the day they could come back to the center of what brought them together and know they had over come so many hurdles.
"I would like to propose a toast", Martin, Emmet's father stood up holding a glass of wine,"To my son and soon to be wonderful daughter in law; as parents you start out raising your child, then you begin to watch them grow into the people they become later in life. Hoping that they will make the best decisions possible. When Emmet told us he was engaged, we were less than thrilled. But once we met Rosie and saw how in love that Emmet is, we couldn't have been happier. And to Morgan and Elizabeth, you have a beautiful and amazing child."
"Thank you Martin," Elizabeth smiled as they all raised their glasses.
"I have to say", Rosealie began, she was still trying to remember that she didn't have to sign every time she wanted to say something,"To my mother and to Katherine", she looked to Emmet's mother,"Thank you for putting this whole wedding together. You have both been so wonderful."
"We wanted it to be special love", Katherine smiled,"I'm just so happy my Emmet has found such a special love with you."
They all raised their glasses again, more toasts were give throughout the meal. As dinner began to wind down Martin and Morgan to their leave to the study, "business talk", is what they said. But the others new it was for a cigar and drinks. Meredith and Katherine began to clear the dishes away while Rosealie helped Elizabeth to bed for the night.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?", Elizabeth asked settling herself against the stack of pillows on the bed.
"I think", Rosealie smiled,"Little nervous."
"Perfectly normal, sweetheart," she took her daughter's hand,"I am so proud of you Rosie."
"Thanks mom", she said,"How are you feeling?"
"Tired as usual", she laughed,"I will be fine for tomorrow, I promise you that."
"I love you so much", she hugged her mother.
"I love you too baby girl", she fought back her own tears,"Now you should go spend some time with your fiancee before he gets kicked out for the evening."
"I think I will", she said,"Get some rest."
"Night honey", she gave a wave a Rosealie closed the door. She sighed feeling the exhaustion setting in. She had been over doing it while working on the wedding and she knew it. Her body was simply failing her and she hated it. Rosealie would be married tomorrow and then she could rest. Only to make it through her daughter's wedding. She closed her eyes as she began to drift off.
