Chapter 7: Dun, dun, dun

"The story came out, and who's the one to give it. Edward Cullen himself! I wonder if poor Bella even approved." I rolled my eyes and shut off the tv.

Brian turned too looked at me with wide eyes, "Bella! I was waiting so see who won last night! What are you doing?!" He screeched in horror.

"You don't need to hear all the crap that is being said. Go outside and play or something." I attempted to shoo him.

Brian rolled his eyes dramatically, "Belllllla. I'm fourteen. Not four!" He whined. I raised an eyebrow in my best intimidating big sister look. He challenged me for a second then sighed and went away

Two days after we discussed it the news story was out, and the facts are now straight. I'm Bella swan. Mother of Lucy, sister of Brian. And thankfully like I thought, the media did back off a lot, not all the way. But now we aren't exciting. We're just a normal little couple dating in a big fast life. Now they're off to get the next story someone is trying to hide.

I say this as I still have 3 paparazzi attacking me as I walked to the grocery store yesterday. But that's better than 13!

Before Brian could get out the door a thought occurred to me, "Brian!" I hollered before he could disappear. He turned to look at me with a 'didn't you just tell me to leave' look. "Come back here." I patted the couch beside me. "I forgot we need to talk."

Brian raised an eyebrow and slowly shut the door. "Okkkkkayy..." He stretched the word and looked at me cautiously. When he sat down beside me and I didn't say anything he squirmed. "Did I do something?"

"I don't know did you do something?" I blurted out. Then stared at him, curious at the answer.

"I... I don't think so." He seemed to think for a minute. "I mean I'm sure... I do stuff all the time but..."

"Wait, what kind of stuff?"

"I don't know stuff."

There was an awkward pause then Brian looked at me. "Wait, what are we even talking about?"

"I was talking about sex. What are YOU talking about?"

"Sex!?" Brian's eyes jumped out of his skull. "Oh we're so NOT talking about sex Bella! I thought a teacher sent you a note or something! No! No sex! No!" He seemed absolutely horrified at the thought of even mentioning the word in front of me.

I giggled and glanced at him, suddenly serious again. "Bry. We have to talk about it, we can't just ignore it!"

"Oh yes. We can." He stuttered then made a run for the door.

"Freeze!" I yelled with authority. Brian froze and shifted from one foot to the other then turned to glare at me, I glared right back. "Get over here. And sit down!"

Brain shuffled over and threw himself into the couch with a growl. "I'm not a damn dog Bella."

I chose to ignore him, "So. Are you and Aubree a thing?"

Brian groaned and his cheeks flushed. He glanced around helplessly. "Lucy! Wake up!" He cried pathetically.

I rolled my eyes and put my hands on my hips. "That kid would sleep through the apocalypse. Now answer the question. Yes or no?"

Brian paused for a second then seemed to think. "Yes." He said with determination. I was about to comment but he shook his head. "No." I raised an eyebrow at him. "God I don't even know."

"What do you mean you don't know? You kissed her!"

"How did you see that!?" I sucked in a breath and faltered slightly. Brian took that opportunity to pounce. "Were you SPYING on me?"

"No! I wasn't spying on you! Edward and I opened the door and there you were! Besides you don't get to hide this crap from me. I'm your guardian Brian, I have a right to know these things."

Brian seemed stumped by this. He sat back and thought over my words before glancing at me. "I really don't know Bells. I really, really like her. But at the same time I don't want to screw this up! We've been best friends since we were two! She's been through it all." I swallowed a lump in my throat. By "all" I knew he meant our parents death. Both of theirs, she experienced with us. "But at the same time I'm so much happier when I'm with her. She's all I can think about. Like all the time. I don't know what to do."

I sucked in a breath and threw myself down beside him. Truth be told I didn't know what to do either. I mean to me it sounds like he's in love. And... He's too young to be in love. "Bry," I started. "You just have to go with your gut. If you really like her that much you don't need to let her go, hold her close, because a lot of people like that don't come."

Brian smiled at me and nodded, "Thanks Bells. That helps a lot." He threw his self into my arms almost like he was 7 all over again and snuggled close to me. "I love you." I know he loves me but it isn't often Brian shows this side. The little boy that is still left deep down doesn't make many appearances now days, he usually acts so grown up, too grown up.

I stroked his head and grinned. "I love you too little brother."

Brian seemed content for a few minutes before he started to get up. "Oh no, no, no where do you think you're going? Sit back down we aren't done."

He groaned again and fell back. "Dammit."

I frowned. "Quit cussing too. I'm getting tired of your mouth."

Brian rolled his eyes but looked at me expectantly to continue. "Okay. Now if you and Aubree do become a thing. No sex." Brian squirmed beside me and I stood up to pace in front of him. The boy was blushing 7 different shades of red. "No touching either. Touching leads to sex."

I frowned and pointed at him, "That being said. I would rather you be open with me and honest then sneak around. So if you do want to have sex tell me and I'll get Jasper to get you some condoms or something."

"Oh my god, please stop." He buried his head in his hands and hid.

"You know if you can't talk about it. You sure as hell aren't mature enough to even think about doing it."

"I get it Bella!" He all but yelled.

"Okay, okay." I held my hands up in surrender. "Look at me." He took his hands away from his eyes and slowly met my gaze. "Lucy is one of the best things that ever happened to me. But raising a baby alone was the hardest thing I've ever done. Hell it still is. And if you have a baby while you're a teenager that multiplies the challenge."

Brian nodded seriously.

"So keep your little soldier under orders and everything should be fine. Keep an upstairs brain it will help you out in the long run Bry." He once again blushed bright red, and growled in annoyance.

"Okay, okay. I'm done. Get out of here." I smiled. Brian literally sprinted from the living room.

I couldn't help but laugh. That was way more uncomfortable for him that it was me. Then again I've put a lot of thought into this talk. And with Edwards coaching I learned to offer the condoms. If he hadn't of helped the speech probably would have took a more "I'll chop your dick off and feed it too the wolves" kind of approach. This was more affective, I'll admit.

I went to start the dishes and heard Lucy wander in. I didn't say anything, just looked at Brian tossing the football in the air to himself. She shuffled over eventually and wrapped her little arms around my leg as I faced away. I smiled and picked her and the blanket she was carrying up.

"Hi mommy."

"Hi baby, did you sleep well?"

She nodded, "Edward." She said suddenly and pointed out the window. Sure enough he pulled up and was now playing catch with Brian.

"Yep. You wanna go outside? I'm done. We can stay out there a little while. Mommy isn't leaving for a bit."

"You leave?"

"Yeah remember? I'm going out with Edward tonight. You're staying with Bry."

Lucy shook her head. "No! I wanna go." I sighed and didn't reply. I sat her on her feet.

"Come on love bug, let's go outside. Go get on your flops."

Lucy ran for the front door and plopped down in the floor to slide on her flip flops. I slid on mine too, and opened the door for her to run through. When I did, she didn't stop and ran straight for Edward. Shouting his name as she went.

I watched as he turned and grinned at her, he dropped to a knee and she ran straight for him. When she collided with his chest I cringed, if she did that to me I would've fallen on my face, then again he has giant men crashing into him 24/7. He chuckled and hugged her then stood with her resting against his chest.

Brian came and picked up the football which then lay by Edwards's feet. Edward wrapped his arm around Brian's head and put him in a headlock.

I smiled. My own little family. I pulled out my phone and as soon as I did they all started going separate ways. "Wait! I need a picture."

Edward stood up straight and Lucy leaned into him, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Brian frowned at them and playfully gagged and attempted to run but Edward grabbed him, "Don't think so buddy. Smile." Brian chuckled and allowed himself to be pulled into Edward side and they both smiled.

I snapped the picture then admired it for a second. It was way too cute.

"The sun's going down, we better get going." I mentioned to Edward. He nodded and picked back up the football and put Lucy down then came to my side. He hugged me and kissed me briefly.

"Why hello there my beautiful brown eyes." I giggled and allowed him to squish me.

I glanced at Brian and Lucy. He was chasing her around and she was squealing. "Come on guys, Edward and I are leaving and I don't want you guys out here alone." We don't exactly live in the Beverly Hills of neighborhoods.

Bry picked Lucy up by her waist upside down and carried her inside.

I glanced quickly at Edward, "I just have to throw on a dress and make up. Entertain each other. Oh! You can change in Brian's room too when you need too."

I could hear them talking as I got ready in my room. Tonight we planned to go out with Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice. No kids allowed. In fact they were all bringing their kids here, which made me a little nervous. I mean Brian's fourteen. That's a little much for anyone. We would've taken them all to Carlisle and Esme's but they are out of town, on hospital business. Not to mention I still have yet to officially meet them, Edward is taking me there this weekend. This kids are coming to, as a cook out.

It only took me about 30 minutes to put on my dress and make up. I did my make up a lot darker and more dramatic, without being too over the top. And slid on a dress that goes up to my neck, but shows my shoulders and has an open back to the top of my butt. Sexy, but not slutty.

When I walked back in the living room everyone was sitting around, I blushed slightly, I didn't mean for them to wait on me.

"You look absolutely stunning," Alice squealed and ran to crush me in a hug. She had on a pink dress than showed more cleavage than usual, but like me, not too much.

"Thanks Aly, you look pretty gorgeous yourself."

Rosalie smiled at me, "You look very nice too Rose," She thanked me and returned the favor, then hugged me.

"Hey Bella can I leave my clothes here? I had to change and," I turned to answer Edward and he stopped dead in his tracks to stare at me. His mouth dropped open as he looked me up and down. I couldn't help but do the same, he had on a tux that fit him in all the right places.

Suddenly I became aware of the others in the room and blushed, "Yeah, um leave them in my room." I stuttered. Edward slowly took his eyes away from me and stumbled down the hall, I turned to look at everyone. They were all giving me knowing smirks.

"Lucy!" I called as a distraction, she came running to my side.

Her little face lit up, "Mommy looks soooo pretty."

"Gotta agree with you there, bug." Edward said softly as he passed. I ignored him and looked at her.

"Thank you, you be good for your uncle okay? Mommy will see you in the morning."

"Then we go to nana Esme's?"

I chocked slightly, where did she hear that? "Um we will talk about that later baby." I mentioned, not really caring to talk about that in front of prying eyes. "But no, that's the next day."

Lucy gave me a final hug then ran off to play with Jazzy. I watched as the other parents gave their children the same warnings. Edward sat on the couch, he was looking at me with such lust it was hard not to tremble under his stare. He was literally studying every inch of my body.

"Brian!" I called out nervously. He looked at me from his spot beside Edward on the couch. "Please be careful and watch them. Don't take your eyes off any kid. They are all still little. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, ma'am."

I nodded slightly and once again felt subjected to Edward's stare. When Rosalie mentioned us leaving I was none too happy to jump at the offer. Edward came to my side and wrapped his arm firmly around my hips, "You look incredible. I'm not letting you out of my site. To many guys would jump at the offer to be your date."

I smiled slightly and bit my lip, "You look pretty good yourself in that tux."

"Bella," He snorted, "You literally took my breath away. You're stunning," I didn't comment further, I just smiled at the compliment and let him open the door to the car, and slid in.

When we got to the restaurant I quickly figured out that we were no longer at Mcdonals Todo. It was by far the fanciest place I'd ever seen, much less actually ate at. There was even someone playing the harp in the background, that's how fancy it was.

I couldn't stop looking around, I barely registered the waiter asking what I wanted to drink, "I'll take a spr…" I started to say sprite but Edward stopped me.

"She'll take an icy virgin," He intercepted.

When the waiter left I hit him. "What was that?"

"Bells. You deserve a drink, admit it you want one."

I wanted to argue but I couldn't, I haven't drank in so long it would be nice to have that feel for once.

"So Bella, Emmett was telling me that Edward said you want to open your own restaurant one day." Rosalie mentioned as the waiter returned with our drinks.

I nodded, "It's more like a fantasy."

Rosalie smiled, "I have the exact same fantasy," She admitted shyly.

"Really?"

Rosalie nodded, "We should really look into it Bella. Think about it, if we actually did it together."

My mind went into overdrive as I thought about the possibilities. "Yeah, Bella is an amazing cook. And Rosalie is so bossy, and organized, I can see it." Alice put in her two cents, as she sipped on some extravagant looking martini.

"You guys should seriously consider it, Bella." Edward nodded softly.

I looked over at Rosalie, "Are you being completely serious?"

Rosalie smiled, "Well I mean. We would have to come up with a menu, and a name, a place, so many other things before we could actually open it or anything. But I really do want to try if you do."

I nearly ran around the table to meet Rosalie, she met me half way and we hugged as everyone cheered. Slowly my life is falling into place.

I couldn't wipe the silly smirk from my face when I took my seat back next to Edward, when the waiter came back over he looked at Edward to get his order and Edward's phone interrupted us all. We ignored it, as we ordered, whoever it was they didn't give up, it continuously rang. Edward helped me to order sushi, as I've never had it before. When the waiter disappeared Edward looked at his phone, "Shit." He swore and put the phone up to his ear. I looked at him concerned, and everyone else quieted as they watched our exchange. "Brian called my 5 times." An eerie silence fell over the table.

I automatically went to find my phone but I couldn't feel it, I must have left it in Edward's car. Edward's eyes widened as he listened. I couldn't be any more anxious. I gripped Edward's arm and tried to lean in to listen.

Edward stood abruptly and we all followed suit, "CHECK!" He yelled, and grabbed his coat. Everyone frantically grabbed their stuff, and I allowed Edward to pull me along outside. When we passed the waiter he took out his wallet and shoved 300 dollars in his face. He put the phone back up to his ear and spoke sternly, yet worriedly. "Buddy, calm down. We'll be there in 15 minutes. Stay with the police officers."

"POLICE!?" I screeched, "Edward! What the hell is going on!?"

Edward stopped walking long enough to look at all of us, "The house was broken into. I don't know the details exactly. No one was hurt, besides Brian's knuckles. The police are there now."

And slowly my world fell back apart, what the hell happened to my babies?

CLIFFIE! HEHE
