Classic Rosalie, everything is viewed from her perspective, how it affects her! She doesn't much care for change, which is sure different from how she began this life as an immortal! It might well be interesting to see Edward and Bella's love story through Rosalie's eyes. It would probably tick me off a lot, but who knows? Thank you for all of this one, regardless!

Thankfully, the head wolf accepted a treaty, saving everyone a lot of trouble. As for the newly-weds, they sure didn't waste any time demolishing their new house! Good thing Emmett can repair it!

Lovely wedding, fabulous honeymoon, but homecoming was certainly the capper! Those huge wolves must have been an awful shock!

This made all the trials and tribulations seem worthwhile! It was such fun to read about Rosalie's beautiful wedding gown and party dresses, plus the gorgeous jewelry she had. The best part , though, was how much she has grown and become a better person, not perfect(who is?) but much better than she has been! The title of this story is spot on!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for this review. it gave me the feels! So glad you're enjoying the story!

This was a wonderful chapter! I just love the dynamic between these two. It's amazing the conversations they have and the insights they gained. I'm crossing myfingers Rose realizes how very special Emmett is, and says yes!

Though vampires may not change, Rose is learning quite a lot of things!

Sounds like more guilt is about to come Rosalie's way, possibly concerning her parents. I'm sure Esme is very unhappy about her lovely home being trashed, but I'm amazed the damage wasn't more extensive!

Oh dear! Just when things were going so well, too! Poor Emmett, he'll be so ashamed of himself and afraid of Rose's condemnation! As Carlisle always says, accidents happen to them all, it's just a part of what they are.

This story is absolutely amazing. I'm normally not a Rosalie fan but I became one after this.
Your soundtracks are amazing too 😊
Author's Response:
Thank you so much! so glad to add to team rosalie and thank you about the soundtracks. A lot of people don't pay attention, but music plays a big part in my writing. Glad you enjoyed it all!

I enjoyed Rose being kind to the humans, since it wasn't her usual way. Then Emmett's graduation gift was pretty good reading, also!
Author's Response:
Thank you! felt like she was terrible to both men and that she needed to seek redeption for all her crap. So thankful for your insight and all of your reviews. I appreciate it a ton!
Date: 05 May 2016 5:37 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Love it. They are coming along. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I hope the "more" is worth the wait!
Date: 04 May 2016 6:25 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
They are getting so much more at ease with themselves, it has to be making everyone in the family happier! It definitely was the right thing to take it slow!
Date: 04 May 2016 6:08 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Loved it. Finally progress!! Can't wait for more.
Date: 03 May 2016 7:32 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
So it's going to take a little more time, they have plenty of that! I'm so glad Rose has accepted that he's hers and even more glad that he's willing to wait for however long it takes! Theirr path has not been an easy one, for sure, but it just got a bit smoother this time !
Date: 03 May 2016 5:55 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Omg! Best chapter ever😘 Emmett I love you.
Date: 02 May 2016 11:47 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
While some poor sould died, at least it wasn't Thomas so the family is still safe. There was even some progress in straightening out the tangles between Rose and Emmett. I thought it was sweet that Emmett couldn't kill Mr. Kent because of his Nana!
Date: 02 May 2016 7:02 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Wow. Proud of Emmett. Rosalie needs to get over herself.
Author's Response:
I hope not to keep this up for long. Thanks for the review!
Date: 02 May 2016 5:22 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Oh Rosalie, what a damn ness you have set in motion! She has been so wrapped up in herself, I guess she just didn'r realize where this whole thing was going! I hope they are in time to ave Thomas and keep Emmett from disaster!
Date: 29 Apr 2016 7:11 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
I thought it was fun when they both started to try getting their own back on each other! This having Thomas come out to the house for a dance lesson might not be such a good idea. I hope Rosalie doesn't end up regretting it badly!
Date: 28 Apr 2016 5:37 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! I hope Rose finds comfort in her resentment of Emmett's rejection, since this looks to be going on a while!
Author's Response:
Yes! I was reminded by a friend as i was writing this that Rosalie seemed to accepting before this point, so i went this direction for a bit. Thanks again for all the reviews. It's nice to know people still like this years later!
Date: 28 Apr 2016 1:10 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Wow! I know Emmett deserves it but hopefully he can melt her heart!
Author's Response:
He does and he doesn't. I was told as i wrote this that Rosalie was being to easy on him, so I sort of went in this direction for a bit. Don't worry, though, as you know he eventually melts that ice cold heart!
Date: 27 Apr 2016 7:14 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
I fear that with his rejection of her, Emmett has reincarnated the old Rosalie! Now they will all be in for it! I feel bad for Rose and him both!
Date: 27 Apr 2016 2:47 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Emmett is a newborn! I wonder what is going to happen now maybe some jealosy with the dance instructor will wake him up!!
Date: 26 Apr 2016 6:29 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Looks like Emmett has discovered Rosalie's secret spot in the forest, where she pleasures herself to thoughts of him! I can't wait to see how this plays out! I'm also feeling kind of sorry for Mr. Kent, he's obviously got a big crush on Rose! I don't see how that can turn out well!
Date: 26 Apr 2016 4:14 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Wow! Loved this chapter! Emmett finally notices Rosalie. Can't wait for an update!
Date: 26 Apr 2016 1:56 AM Title: Vanity and Patience
I just knew that if Emmett heard what was happening, he would come to the rescue! It was touch and go for a bit, but turned out pretty well! I couldn't believe Rose would have to suffer that horror again, and you didn't let her! Good job!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I'd never want her to suffer again, but I wanted to get her somewhat close enough to get Emmett out of his newborn stupor and rescue her. I thought it was important for him to see that even though he can be a danger to her, he could also be her savior. Thanks again for all the great reviews!

What a terrible place to leave poor Rosalie! Where in the world is Emmett when she needs his help?
Author's Response:
Thanks again! It is terrible, but I thought it would make a good basis for the beginning of her relationship with Emmett.
Date: 25 Apr 2016 2:17 AM Title: Vanity and Patience
Great story! You can't leave us hanging! Where is Emmett?
Author's Response:
Thank you! I hope I didn't leave you hanging for too long!
Date: 23 Apr 2016 7:42 AM Title: Vanity and Patience
That was so sweet of Esme to bolster Rosalie's confidence and raise her spirits! A great pep talk seems to have really helped! Falling in love has changed Rose and definitely for the better. The whole family has noticed, now if only Emmett would!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I figured that at some point Esme would offer some sort of advise and a shoulder to cry on, especially since her new daughter has found love.
Date: 23 Apr 2016 7:19 AM Title: Vanity and Patience
Never thought I would see Rosalie Hale develop patience, Emmett really means a lot to her, evidently! Edward is trying to balance between the two of them, being fair to both sides.
Author's Response:
Thank you again! I feel Edward has to get sick of being caught in the middle.
Date: 21 Apr 2016 6:58 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
This is making me feel pretty sorry for Rose. not a usual thing at all! Poor girl doesn't have a clue as to what is the right move!
Author's Response:
lad to ignite rare pity for an unusual character! Thanks again for all of your reviews. I'm going to be out of town this weekend so I just uploaded chapter 9 (sorry so late) and will be uploading chapten 10 a little later tonight! Thank you!

It took her a while to realize what was happening, so it could be a while before Emmett gts the picture!
Author's Response:
You said it, sister! Thank you!
Date: 19 Apr 2016 5:40 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Very unlike what Rose imagined their relationship would be! It kind of surprised her that Edward was so sympathetic, too. I was a bit surprised that Emmett came back to them as soon as he did. I hope things get some better for Rosalie, she is suffering quite a bit!
Date: 18 Apr 2016 5:49 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Poor Rose! After she saved him and helped him through the change, there wasn't any gratitude in him! I'm curious as to what brings him back, since we know Emmett is her mate. He just doesn't knowthat yet!
Author's Response:
No he doesnt know! His head is a jumbled newborn mess at this point, with a bunch of abilities and feelings he's never experienced before. All the newness is overwhelming and he doesnt know how to deal with it, including this new thing with Rosalie.
Date: 17 Apr 2016 7:07 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
So Emmett doesn't take one look and fall madly for Rosalie, that's different! His first trial by human sure popped up fast, too. I wonder if the four of them will be able to restrain him, or if he'll start out his vampire life killing a person!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for all of your diligent reviews! I will go back and answer the rest in days to come, but thanks for your thoughts and feedback! I tried to make this a little different, figuring that it would be interesting that Rose would go through some challenges in love, especially since Emmett makes references to how unruly he was as a newborn. Thanks again!
Date: 17 Apr 2016 1:23 AM Title: Vanity and Patience
Nice touch that you had Edward try to block Rose from getting to Carlisle. It only makes sense, since he and Rose both hated what they were. It must have shocked him to hear what this man meant to Rose. So much that she wanted to save him forever!
Author's Response:
Yes, it only made sense that Edward would try to stop her. He himself was hesitant for years to change Bella because he felt selfish for it, so I would figure he must've felt the same way when Rosalie showed up with Emmett at first.
Date: 15 Apr 2016 5:51 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Rose really pondered the reason Carlisle changed her, studying it from all angles. It was a sign of how well she knew herself and Edward, that made it so clear they wouldn't make a good match. However, that's a moot point now, since she just laid eyes on her future!
Date: 14 Apr 2016 7:20 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Rosalie sounds nearly reconciled with this new existence despite her longing for her human life. I'm looking forward to the next chapter when she finds her destiny.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I think, although she'd give anything to be human, she's also not one to hate herself like Edward does himself. She knows she has to accept the hand that was given to her, whether she likes it or not. I think, being one of two "children" in their household, she compares herself to what Edward is in many ways, and is still strong enough to enjoy the positives, like enhanced beauty, and be determined to make the most out of this life.
Date: 14 Apr 2016 6:56 PM Title: Vanity and Patience
Fascinating to hear this from Rosalie's perspective. It puts the whole incident in a different light. I've always read this from Carlisle or Edward's point of view. This is much more insightful.
Author's Response:
Glad you liked it! When I originially thought to write fanfiction, I knew I wanted to write a prequel, and Rosalie's was the most intriguing, since I was sure in her materialistic, selfish nature wasn't the only layer to her personality. I felt I could I dentify with her the most and saw the challenges she could and would face, get in her head and expand on what made her tick. I feel that Stephenie left a lot of characters a bit too one dimensional--especially rosalie--but I understood she didnt have time to develop secondary characters while holding onto her main focus with Bella, Edward and Jake. Thank you again so much for being such a great reader to leave a review for every chapter. It's people like you that motivate fanfiction writers to continue what they do!
