Oh man, I love you guys! You all reviewed and I now give you all cyber hugs! Okay, due to your loving reviews, it is only fair I give you loving replies. XD

No name: I did indeed, take your advice. I'm glad you liked the chapter, and I have a brilliant plan for the girls in mind…

Svtwilfan: I'm glad you liked the chapter. I really tried to make Bella seem like the ice was broken and she opened up. Appreciating art? That is kinda weird, but it's totally awkward, seeing as I'm not college age… (sigh). Alrighty then! Thank you! 3

xxDarkAngelBabyxx: hey, no worries! I can only see the outline of my abs! You're further then me. UFC? No, I haven't, but I will. I'm gonna add it to my list of requests… okay, you're the only one, but still! Your idea is amazing and I will have to find the time to start it! XD

yegan: urm… I will keep going. Btw, your keyboard is messed up, I think…

megan: (looks at last chapter) OMC! Sorry guys, the song is by shinedown, not three day grace. =) I will and thank you!

Okay, on with the update. My birth certificate does not say Stephanie Meyer. I wish it did… but noooo! I had to have MY name…. =P

The family…

Bella

I walked down the hallway, thinking about last night. Now, usually the fact that I got to beat the hell outta James would have made me feel great, but it didn't. I felt like I had not done enough. Alice had been hurt, badly. Not once, but many times before. My fist clenched, but I calmed when I got to the front desk.

I had just finished paying the bill, a large group of people came rushing to the desk. The woman in front declared, "Where's Alice? Where's my daughter?"

"Miss? You mean Alice Cullen?" I asked, and she nodded. I supposed this was her family. "I'm going back there now, I can show you," They all looked at each other, then followed me to Alice's room.

"You don't look like a nurse…" The oldest man, who I assumed was Dr. Cullen, stated.

"I'm not. I stayed with her over night. Just to be sure she was okay," I smiled at them, and opened the door. "Alice, your family is here," I pushed the door open the rest of the way and stepped aside, allowing the others to go in first.

"Alice, sweetie, are you alright? What happened?" They gathered around her bed and I grabbed a few more chairs for everyone.

"Mom, I'm fine now. It's no big deal," I growled low in my chest against my will. This was not a "No big deal thing," and I wish she would understand that.

Somehow, in the middle of all the questions and such, one of the boys, the youngest one I think, looked at me, and flipped out. "You're—"

I shook my head, pleading with him not to finish. This must be Edward. He shut his mouth, but the larger man, Emmett, I believe, finished it. "Bella Swan? No way! I'm in the same room as a famous boxer," the blond punched his arm, but stopped when she saw that he was completely right. This got everyone's attention, and they all turned.

"M-Ms. Swan?" Alice's mother said.

"Just Bella, please," My blush was apparent. I hated being recognized, and I knew my manager would want to know what the freak happened. Alice started to speak up and I thanked the heavens for her being there.

"Bella saved me, guys. And she stayed with me last night," Emmett raised an eyebrow. I cleared my throat and looked down, glancing at the bandage on my arm. Before I knew what happened, though, I had small- though longer then Alice's- arms around me.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter," I blinked a few times, then returned the hug and told her it was no problem. When I was released, the entire family seemed to have relaxed and I leaned against the wall. Edward was the first to break the silence.

"So… is it true that you can lift two- thirty?" He asked.

I had to think a minute, but answered quickly. "Uh… two-fifty, now," All eyes but Dr. Cullen's widened, and I a feeling that he was a calm man.

"Is it also true that you live in an apartment?" Edward was acting like a small child, practically bouncing up and down.

"Uh… that's kind of personal. My manager doesn't even know where I live," There was a knock on the door behind me and I opened it. On the other side was Jasper.

"Hey, sis. Came to see how everything was going," He smiled at me and gave him a quick hug.

"Hey, Jazz. Well, don't be the a stranger, come on in," I stepped away and he walked in.

"So where is this 'Alice' you speak of?" He turned toward the bed and froze. Edwards eyes widened, and all I could do was lean against the wall and smirk. What were the odds? I watched as my brother was the first to gain his senses. "H-hi, y'all. I'm Jasper, Bella's brother," Oh, snap! He was nervous if his southern accent was coming out. Edward stepped forward and stuck out his hand.

"I'm Edward," Jasper took his hand and they held on a second out of the ordinary. "This is my family. That's my dad, Carlisle," Dr. Cullen smiled, "My mom, Esme," Another smile, "Emmett and his fiancée, Rosalie," A grin and a short wave, "And that's Alice in the bed," She waved at Jazz and winked at me (yeah, I think I blushed).

After everyone was introduced I found another chair for Jasper and Alice told me I should sit, too. "I'm fine. 'sides, there aren't any chairs left," I leaned against the wall again.

"Well, then, sit on the end of my bed. There's plenty of room," Oh, crappers. She had me there…

"Okay," I sat down and saw Emmett smirk. I guess I could see where he was going with his thoughts. A much larger woman had just gotten told by Alice, who was no more than five foot one. What could I say? She had ways…

Or you're just—

I stopped the voice before it went too far. I had just met her, and I wasn't going to think anything irrational.

"So, Bella, you box for a living?" Esme smiled at me and I got the feeling that she was a very nice person. Compassionate.

"Yes, I do. Not all the time, but its good money," I sat Indian style out of habit and looked around briefly. Jazz and Edward were talking quietly, but everyone else was either looking at me or Alice. Emmett was bouncing in his seat, now.

"Dude! You're uppercuts are amazing! Remember that one guy? You gave him that hit and his feet left the ground! It was awesome!" I did remember. It was only about a week ago.

"Yes, I still have faint bruising from it. But there is something you need to remember: a boxers jab is like the foundation of a house. Going straight to things like uppercut and such is like building a house's attic first," Jasper and Edward turned their attention to us and Rosalie turned to Alice.

"Can I talk to you, Alice? Alone?"Alice nodded and the rest of the family got up, and I followed. Outside I leaned against the wall and looked at my watch. It was Monday and my manager hadn't called me yet. I sighed. Maybe this meant I would be free today. God, I hope so—

The cops theme song started and I cursed my luck, flipping the phone open. "Hello?"

"Bella, who is listening?" Peter's deep voice sounded through the phone.

"Im with a friends family,"

"We need you to come to base. Now,"

"What's for?"

"I'll explain when you get here,"

"Roger," I hung up and turned to Alice's family. "I have to head to work. I told Alice that she had a bed waiting at my house if she needs it,"

Dr. Cullen stepped forward and shook my hand. "Thank you for being there. And the offer is great. Be safe," I nodded and turned to take my leave.

Alright, so, Bella has a secret job… and what about Jazz and Edward? Hmmmm… I know all the answers, but I would love to hear from you all!
