A/N: Hey! I know I said I wanted 10 reviews, but I had nothing to do today so I thought I would get on with it and write this chapter.
It is Bella's point of view again.
Oh! I would just like to say how much I appreciate all of your reviews. I try to reply to each review, just so you know! :D

'Hey! Ali! I was just wondering; how are we going to fit all this stuff into our tiny apartment?' I asked. I admit; our apartment wasn't tiny. But, it certainly seemed that way seeing as Alice's boxes took up pretty much all the space.
'Chill, Bells. You don't own much stuff anyway? And some of the boxes are going downstairs. And some of the boxes are only half full, so…' She began rambling again.
'Ok, Ali, I get the idea. When did you say Jasper was coming round?' Once he was here, we could head back to my place to begin packing, which I was actually getting quite eager to do. Yep, being around Alice was definitely rubbing off on me…
'Ummm…I think he said any time around now.' She replied, glancing at her watch.
Right on cue, Jasper text Alice saying he was just outside. We both made our way down, making sure not to trip on the boxes (me especially). However, I failed, and fell right into one of the boxes.
Alice heard the crash from my fall, and turned around looking worried.
'Omg! Bella are you ok?' She seemed genuinely worried.
'Alice, I'm fine. You should know me by now. I'm always falling over something!' I said, laughing it off and carefully getting up.
She quickly ran to the door, and Jasper asked what took us so long.
'Bella fell over one of the boxes and fell on her face!' Alice said, trying not to laugh. She was the complete opposite of worried now. I could tell I was beginning to blush.
'Awww! Well, Bella, at least you did actually fall over something this time, not just air!' Jasper said, and a full blush filled my face. I scowled at him and Alice, but it didn't last very long.
We all climbed into the lorry and made our way back to my house. Charlie was still there, so he offered to help. We gladly accepted as we had a lot of packing to do. I may not own as many possessions as Alice, but I still have a lot of stuff.
We spent the next few hours chucking various items into cardboards boxes, occasionally looking at the item and recalling a memory. I only did this a couple of times, but my dad the most.
When it was approaching lunch time, Alice offered to cook us all a meal, with Jasper going downstairs to help. Me and Charlie stayed upstairs to continue packing, when I saw his eyes welling up.
'You alright dad?' I asked, concerned for him.
'Yeah, I just can't believe my little Isabella has grown up so fast. I am so proud of you, sweetheart.' I felt my own eyes welling up, like his. I know how hard this must have been for him to admit.
'Thanks dad. You know, once I move out, I will always come and visit. And you can too, you know. Love you dad.' I said, as a single tear rolled down my cheek.
'Of course I will visit, Bells. If not for you, for the free bread and other goodies.' I laughed at my dad. I had only now realised that I wouldn't be living with him, and how much I would miss him.
'LUUUUNNNNNCCCCCCHHHHH!' I heard Alice shout from downstairs.
We went down and were greeted by the delicious smell of pasta with a homemade tomato and herb sauce with bits of bacon chopped up and sprinkled in. Alice was such a great cook!
After we finished eating, Charlie had to leave for his job as chief of police. As we were nearly done packing, Jasper called his sister and her boyfriend round to help us transport my stuff and get the bakery set up.
I had never met Jaspers sister or her boyfriend before, so I was a little anxious I would end up making a fool of myself or be a complete idiot. Both were very likely to happen.
I heard a knocking at the door, so I went to answer it.
'Hello, I'm Bella, you must be Jaspers sister, Rosalie, and her boyfriend, Emmett.' I said, smiling politely to these two strangers.
Rosalie was incredibly beautiful, and it made me feel ugly just standing near her. She had long, blond, honey coloured hair, much like Jaspers. Only it was straight, not curly.
Next to her, was Emmett who looked about the size of a bear. He had quite thick arms, but because of muscle, not fat. He had black hair, which was very short. He looked rather intimidating, so I made a mental note not to get on the wrong side of him. Or Rosalie, for that matter.
'Hey! Bellduck! How's it hangin'? I have heard so much about you from Jasper! He tells me how you can trip over air! Is that true? That is actually pretty cool!' He said, before pulling me into a very tight hug.
I think Rosalie saw the look on my face, as she pulled Emmett off me.
'So sorry about Emmett, he forgets how strong he is. And he refuses to call people by their actual names.' Rosalie said, and I felt myself blushing.
'So he was true about the blushing then, Bellduck?' Emmett asked me, which made me blush more. And Bellduck, what the heck was going on with that nickname.
'Anyway, Bella' Which I think she emphasised as a strong hint to Emmett to call me Bella 'You can call me Rose.'
'Ok, Rose and Emmett, would you like to come in.' I gestured into my house.
'Yes, thank you. Anyway, Emmett, where did you get the nickname Bellduck from?' Rose asked him. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be listening, but I didn't anyway.
'Well, I shortened Bella to Bell, and her last name is Swan, which is a bird that swims, like a duck. Then I just put them together. I have others if you want. Like Bellabee, Bellarina, ChimingBells, Bel-'
'Ok, I think we get the idea now!' Rose scolded him, complete with a smack on the head.
Jasper and Alice must have heard what was going on, as I heard them running down the stairs.
'Hey sis! Hey Emmett, and, what have you done now? I heard the unmistakeable sound of Rose hitting you!' Jasper said, holding in his laugh so as not to be hit as well.
'All I did was tell Bella some of my nicknames for her. You know, I think my favourite is Bellarina.' Emmett said, with a look of innocence on his face.
Everyone said their 'hello's' and we all chatted for a bit, getting to know each other.
I found out that Rosalie and Emmett are getting married soon. Rosalie Lillian Hale is her full name, and she is a model (which, I could have guessed, based on her looks). Emmett McCarty works in a garage (which he owns). Even though he may look rather intimidating, due to his size, he is actually very friendly, even if he does make quite a few jokes about me.
After we had all got to know each other, we resumed packing my things upstairs. As most of it was already packed, we only spent about an hour finishing and loading everything into the truck.
It was so good having Emmett and Rose here because they were both very strong and so made things a lot quicker. When we got to the bakery, Rose and Emmett seemed quite shocked by the amount of boxes there were already were in the apartment.
'How many people are moving in here?' Emmett said, rather shocked.
'Just me and Bella, why?' Alice seemed genuinely confused.
'Well, by the amount of boxes already, I would have thought there were about 20 of you!' Emmett said, to which Alice fell about laughing.
We spent the rest of the day unpacking mine and Alice's boxes. We finished quite late, so we were all pretty hungry.
'Anyone up for pizza?' I asked, pretty sure people would say yes.
'Yeah, I would like a Margarita.'
'I would like a Ham and Pineapple.'
'Ooooh! Can I have a Hawaiian?'
'Can I have a Meat Feast?'
'Make sure you get some get some garlic bread!'
When I called, I tried to remember what everyone had said, but it was a pretty big order. When the pizza's arrived, we all sat down in mine and Alice's new kitchen/dining room and tucked in.
They were pretty delicious pizza's, and everyone obviously agreed as they were gone pretty quickly.
'I thought you said Eddie was going to be coming to help?' Jasper asked Emmett and Rose. I didn't have a clue who 'Eddie' was.
'Ah, well, he was. But then he got called into the hospital. I meant to say, sorry.' Emmett said, and I still had no idea who 'Eddie' was. Alice must have been thinking the same thing.
'Not being rude, but, who the heck is 'Eddie'?' She asked everyone, but mainly Jasper.
'Oh, sorry, Eddie's real name is Edward, but we call him Eddie to annoy him. Eddie is mine and Jaspers best friend; we have known him ever since we were little. He works at the hospital, I'm surprised you haven't run into him Bellarina?' Emmett asked, laughing. There it was again, my blush. Even though I may be clumsy, I have never actually been to hospital before. I have only ever given myself minor injuries.
'Anyway, me and Emmett had better be off now, mainly before he says anything else stupid.' Rose said, giving me and Alice the look, that says she's annoyed with Emmett, but still loves him. We both started laughing, and Emmett looked at us.
'I wasn't that bad today' He whined 'mom' he added, under his breathe.
'It was fun meeting you guys, feel free to come along to our bakery, once we get it open.' I said, smiling at Emmett and Rose.
'Ok, by the way, what is the name of your bakery?' Emmett asked.
'Freshly Baked.' Alice said, rather proudly.
I was quite proud of our name too. We didn't just want our names then 'Bakery'. We wanted something a bit different. Also, everything was going to be baked freshly, so it was appropriate.
With that, Emmett and Rosalie left, leaving just me, Alice, and Jasper.
'Are you stopping over tonight Jasper?' I asked, but I don't know why. He was always staying over at Alice's house.
'Yeah, if that's alright?' He asked.
'Yep, that's fine. I think I might go lie in my bed now, anyway. I just got a new book, and I would like to start reading it.' I loved reading books, and the bakery was in just the right place, as there was a book shop right opposite.
'Ok, good night huns.' Alice said to me.
'Good night you two, and please, try not to be too loud!' I said, then promptly ran into my room to avoid getting attacked by Alice. She hated it when I referred to her sex life, especially in front of Jasper!
'BELLA SWAN I WILL KILL YOU!' I heard Alice scream then fell on my bed laughing my head off.
Man, I love Alice.
A/N: This chapter is a bit shorter than the first, but I thought this would be a good place to leave it!
If I get 10 reviews or more for this chapter then you lucky people will get another chapter today!
Also, I love getting reviews because you help me improve my story. So, if you have any suggestions on how to make it better, be sure to add them in your review. Like I said before, I reply to ever review.
Thank you, take care! :)
