Chapter 10: Big News

BELLA'S POV!

**About a week later**

Having Edward work all the time really sucks! I mean, yes I get to see him in all of his gorgeous glory, but now more than ever Alice is pressing onward to get the barn studio ready, and trust me, the first day working I n there was painful…along with eh second day…and the third, but once those days had passed I was ok with being in there again. Rose called Alice about her leaving Royce at the courthouse and walking out…which evidently was this huge mistake because Alice was planning the wedding…and I think you get the picture. But Rose also told us about how Royce was going to jail, and court for all the sick acts he had committed…the past FIVE years! But I must say, it gave me comfort that he can't hurt me or others anymore.

Then Rose told Alice and me some super exciting news! She and Emmett are now official! How awesome is that?! Evidently, after Emmett and Rose left the court house, Emmett had taken Rose to this awesome Cuban restaurant where they had really hit it off. After the restaurant, Rose went to Emmett's apartment and he had asked her to be his girlfriend.

Pretty fast if you ask me, but Alice reassured me that that's how Rose has always been, and that Emmett has loved her since he first met her…so I guess that makes things a little better.

Anyways, so Alice has been having these weird "feelings" I guess you could call them, so that's why she and I and sometimes others have been at this barn everyday from before sunrise till far after the sun has gone to bed. But at this moment, it is almost done! All the walls are painted. The recording studio is set…I'm just waiting on my beautiful Digidesign board (link of board on profile) and microphones to be delivered. Alice and I have even finished the loft! A huge brown futon and queen sized beanbags in fun colors, with shag rugs, Christmas tree lights being the main source of light and a few of my old electric and acoustic guitars made the room just about perfect! That and the huge sticky wall Alice made for me so I can take pictures of the bands with Polaroid's then stick them up! I can't wait for my first few bands so I can start my never ending project!

Alice and I were excited to the point of jumping up and down and squealing like we were little again when all of my equipment came in! In one day flat, the boards were up and running and the microphones, microphone stands, and cables (XLR and ¼ in.) were all put away. (A/N: if you don't know what an XLR cable and ¼ in. cable are, it's cool, most people don't…I just do a bunch of music stuff so I know about all the different mics, cables, and sound boards :D)

Alice, of course, wanted to have a party to show it all off, but with the thousands of dollars of equipment that I had accumulated over the years + bunches of people = me on a nervous breakdown. However, I did give in a little bit and allowed Alice to invite Emmet and Rose, Sarah and Jasper and of course Edward to our small party.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alice busied herself with all of the final preparations for the party as I did some fine tuning in my studio, like getting wi-fi for my lap top and a few other little tasks that I always said I would do when I get a studio.

As I was busying myself in the studio, my cell phone began vibrating in my pocket. When I pulled it out of my back pocket, I didn't recognize the number on the caller ID, but answered anyways.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hi, is this Isabella Swan?" A deep, smooth voice asked?

"Yes it is, who is this?" I asked a little irritated thinking this was going to be a survey or telemarketer.

"This is Jacob Black. My band and I are going to be in town, and I was curious to know if your recording studio is open yet."

Jacob Black…where do I know that name from? It sounds way too familiar along with the voice.

"Um…yes, it is open." I replied, excitement beginning to come over me.

"Awesome! Would it be ok if we stopped by tomorrow ad checked out your studio and recording style?"

"Of course it would be alright!" I exclaimed. "Just gimmie a call before you come over."

"Alright, sounds good to me." Jacob said happily. "Thanks so much!"

"No, no, thank you! See you soon, bye."

"Bye."

By the end of the phone conversation, I was about to scream in pure excitement of being able to mix for a band, famous or not. Sure, Alice is going to want to kill me because I opened the studio before the Grand Opening Party this weekend, but heck! This was work! Real work! And when someone calls you up, you can't say no to them, especially in my field of work!

Not being able to keep this great news to myself any longer, I called Alice and told her to call everyone because I have big news I want to tell them tonight and so I'm going to make dinner for everyone.

Confused, yet happy at the same time, Alice agreed and I told her the time everyone should show up. Then after hanging up with Alice, I called Edward.

On the third ring he finally picked up his phone, and before he could say anything, I practically screamed all in one breath, "Edward! A band wants me to mix for them! Actually, I don't know if they want me to mix, but they want to check out my studio tomorrow and listen to my style of mixing!"

"What?" Edward asked confused by my Alice like greeting.

But instead of answering, I just asked him another question."When do you get off work tonight?"

"Um…probably around five, why? And don't ask me another question for a response!" He said quickly.

Laughing, I said, "Because I'm making dinner for everyone! So, you'd better be over here around seven!"

"Yes ma'am." Re replied, probably with a smirk on his face.

"O! And don't tell anyone my big news! It's partly why I'm making dinner tonight."

"Alright love, I won't tell anyone your news because I really didn't hear what you said and because you asked so nicely!"

"Awww, aren't you sweet." I sarcastically crooned.

"Yes, yes I am!"

"Um…ok, well I'll see you later! Love you."

"Love you too."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Glancing at the clock, I just about started to flip out, it was already five thirty! Quickly running into the kitchen (tripping a few times on the way, but always catching myself), I grabbed all the ingredients for stuffed manicotti.

After everything was in the oven, I went up stairs and took a quick shower, then changed into something nice yet comfortable clothes, and dried my hair, throwing it up in a loose ponytail. As soon as I was done getting ready, the doorbell rang echoing throughout the house.

Quickly making my way to the front door, I swung the door open on its creaky hinges to reveal Alice, looking perfect as ever with a giant smile plastered to her face. As she came in, she gave me a quick hug then asked, "I was right wasn't I?"

With a big grin on my face, I simply told her, "You'll have to wait along with everyone else!"

"Beeeeellllllllllllllllaaaaaaaa. You know you want to tell me!" She whined.

"Yes…I do want to tell you," Alice's eyes suddenly lit back up, "but, you're just going to have to wait like everybody else!"

"Not. Fair." Alice replied as we walked from the entry way into the kitchen so I could make a salad and stick the bread into the oven. "Mmmmm," Alice sighed, "what smells so heavenly?"

"Spinach and mushroom stuffed manicotti." I said happily.

"That sounds soooo good!"

Ding Dong!

Alice and I both went to the door to see Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Sarah all standing there.

"Hey everyone," I greeted as they all made their way inside. As Jasper came in, I noticed the look of puppy love on Alice's face and made a mental note to ask her about it later.

"What…smells…like…amazing?!" Emmett asked making his way to the kitchen.

"Your dinner." I replied giggling at his crazy reaction to the smell of food.

"Please tell me it's almost ready!" He begged.

"I'm sorry, but it still has another hour or so to go." I told him as seriously as I could.

Emmett's face was priceless as he asked in a small, weak voice, "An entire hour?"

Laughing I told him, "No, it's almost ready. We're just waiting on Edward to-"

Ding Dong!

"Speaking of the devil..." Sarah said with a grin, holding Jasper's hand.

"Hey Alice, you want to get that?" I asked, knowing Edward would not be expecting her opening the door.

"No problem." Alice said as she bounced to the door and swung it open. "Brother!" She exclaimed as she jumped and wrapped her arms around Edward's neck, causing all of us to laugh.

"Sister…" Edward said with much less enthusiasm, but still wrapping his arms around her for a hug while scanning the room for me.

As he walked in and closed the door behind him, I was putting all the food on the table with Rose and Sarah's help casually chatting. When I turned around, I started laughing at Emmett's state: mouth hung open, a little line of drool coming out and a look of love and desire in his eyes.

Rose glanced at him and smiled as she told him, "You'd better close your mouth unless you want to catch flies in there." And with that, he closed his mouth and wiped off the drool, faintly blushing.

Not paying much attention, and getting the last dish to put on the table, I felt two arms snake around my waist and a warm kiss be placed on my neck causing my breath to hitch.

"Hey love." Edward whispered in my ear.

"Hey yourself." I whispered back turning around to give him a kiss on the lips.

And as always, Alice interrupted us by snapping a picture in our faces then saying, "Come on you two! I wanna hear Bella's 'Big News'."

With a squeeze, Edward let me go. Turning around, I say someone had already brought the dish I was going to take to the table.

After we all had gotten seated and our plates full (some more than other *cough* Emmett *cough*). I had Alice hush the table, and then I began to share my big news.

Once I was done, everyone was really excited for me, and congratulating me. Edward had a happy face, but his eyes said something else which really confused me.

Eventually everyone left except for Edward, and I asked him about the weary look in his eyes at dinner.

"I'm just worried you know? What if this Jacob fellow wants to pull a Royce on you?"

"Edward-"

"I just don't want you getting hurt love." He said as he wrapped me up in a hug.

Looking up at him I asked, "Well, would it make you feel better if Sarah or Alice were here with me?"

"Yes," he let out as more like a sigh, "that would make me feel so much better about all of this."

"Mkay, I'll text them tonight."

"Sounds good." He mumbled against my lips.

And with that, Edward captured my lips in a wonderful, passionate kiss.

Sneak Peek:

"Bella? Bella Swan?!"

"Jacob? Jacob Black?" I asked right back.

"Bella Swan? The same Bella who tripped like none other in high school including graduation, who I dated, and who I taught to ride a motorcycle Bella Swan?"
