"What are you doing here?" Rose asked her father as I got her a drink.

"Well, I checked your account and I saw payroll checks from this place, so I came to check it out," he said as she nodded.

"Rosie, where do you want this box to go?" Emmett's booming voice asked.

"That goes to Bella's office," she said as he nodded. "The numbers are the same from last month, so we probably can take it off the drinks menu."

"What is it?"

"Some kind of wine," she said as I nodded. We have found this isn't a wine kind of place. "Don't you have something to do?"

"Nope," I said as I stood there with a smile on my face. "I was just talking with your dad."

"Bella!" Edward half yelled pushing food through the window. I grabbed Mr. Hale's food along with my own and set it on the bar.

"I like that you are working," Mr. Hale said. "You are spending limited money and I find that weird. Are you saving money?"

"I am," she said as I put condiments in front of them.

"For?" he asked as she shrugged. "Do you know?" he asked me as I nodded my head yes.

"We are all saving," I said as he nodded.

"For what?" he asked as Edward and Emmett joined us.

"We want to add on. The building next door is up for sale and we are hoping to buy it," Emmett said.

"We've talked with the realtor and we need ten grand as a down payment," Edward said taking a drink of my coke.

"The four of you are all saving the money?" he asked as all of us nodded. "How much more do you need?"

"Nothing," Rose said quickly. "We have almost all of it."

"I don't mind giving you the rest. I'm so happy with you right now I would pay for the whole building," Mr. Hale said as Emmett started to choke on his drink.

"Who are you?" Emmett asked as he cleared his throat.

"Royce Hale," he said shaking both Emmett and Edward's hands. "Show me the expansion plan."

"Sure," Edward said. "The girls are the ones responsible for it. They have really brought this place alive."

"Well girls, tell me about it," Mr. Hale said as Rose crossed her arms over her chest.

"What's your problem?" I asked her. She was acting like it was a secret that she came from money.

"I just want the four of us to do this," she said with a sigh.

"Fine, then I'll give you a loan and you can pay me back. Rosalie, you know this is what I do for a job, right?" he asked his daughter. "I own four businesses, and I have investments in many others. From what I have found out about this place, it could be a great cash maker, so tell me your plan."

"As of right now, we have a year plan, if everything goes accordingly," Rose said.

"Wait, I have one question," Mr. Hale said. "If you two own this place, how did the girls get involved?"

"We hired Bella to be the bar manager. Edward and I were doing okay on our own, but we needed the help. Edward and Bella didn't get along and she quit. After a week, we realized the work she was doing and we knew we needed her. When we went to get her back, we met Rose and she said she wanted to help too. After that the girls just kind of took over and Bella came up with a whole bunch of ideas that Rose added to. The four of us work great together and we have doubled our profit in three months," Emmett said as Rose smiled.

"Emmett's my boyfriend," Rose announced.

"Okay, now it is all making better sense," Royce said with a chuckle as he ate. "Tell me about everything now."

"Okay, with the second building, it adds two more bathrooms, and more storage. We can add a bigger stage and we hope to have live music when it's done. We will also be able to add fifteen tables, or ten booths. We have been debating it," Rose said.

"What about a dance area?" Royce asked.

"That's part of the stage plan," Edward said. "We have also talked about targeting families as well."

"So you want to make like a bar with a restaurant, versus a bar and grill?" Royce asked.

"Yes, our daughter loves coming here and eating, so we know that it would be a great place for families as well, but we want to make the bar a little more separate," Edward said. "Speak of the devil," he said as the door chimed. Esme had been fighting off a cold, so Emma has been taking a different bus and getting dropped off at the bar when we needed her too.

"Hi," Emma said walking in. She walked over to me and laid her head on my lap.

"Hey, Baby," I said as I ran my fingers through her hair. "Want a snack? I have some cheese fries."

"I love them," she said sitting in my lap. "It was a long day, I need a double apple juice on the rocks," she said as Edward and I both looked at Emmett.

"Coming right up," Emmett said with a smile.

"Excuse them," Rose said to her father. "Emmett thinks it's funny to teach Emma bar lingo."

"I think it's cool Aunt Rosie," Emma said with a big smile.

"Aunt?" Royce asked almost dumbfounded. "I thought being called Aunt made you feel old?"

"Emma, this is my dad Royce," Rose said ignoring her father; Emma just gave him a wave as she ate.

We talked for another hour about our plans, and Royce wanted to see the building next door. Rose and Edward went with him to show him the plans. Emma worked on her homework and I finished what I needed to get done before we could go home. I left for the night with a smile on my face knowing that Royce was all about helping us. It felt great knowing such a business man believed in us. He even invited us over to his house for dinner with his family. We found out that Rose had two brothers and a sister and I was a little excited to meet them. Getting to know Rose was like a puzzle in a way. The more I got to know her, the more she made sense to me. I was in the office getting my things together to head home when I heard talking. I was too nosy for my own good.

"Rosalie, all I have wanted you to do is work and become an adult. These people are making you a better person," Royce said.

"They are like family to me. I know they aren't people Mom will approve of, but I love them. Bella is like a sister, I'm in love with Emmett, and Emma is my niece," she said.

"What about Edward?"

"I don't know. He's okay, he's a jerk, but I know he would be there if I needed something. He's like Liam…" she said trailing off as Royce cracked up laughing.

"Your brother loves you Rose."

"Yeah, he loves to hate me," she said sadly. "I'm trying not to be such a brat. I've tried to play the brat card, but all three of them put me in my place… it's weird."

"What were you doing when I first came here?"

"I was in the basement doing inventory. Bella's too scared to go down there so I pick up the slack. Hearing some of the horror stories of her life she was probably locked in one," she said.

"Well, I have to go, so I will see you Monday night for dinner," he said as I heard everyone walk away. I really couldn't wait to see her family.

That night Emma and I went home and just hung out. Edward worked till closing so she and I went to bed early. She told me about her day and nothing sounded tiring, but she looked exhausted. I was waiting for her to get sick. Her eyes looked a little puffy and her nose was getting stuffy. With the changing of seasons, it wouldn't surprise me if she was getting sick.

Sure enough the next day she woke with a nasty cough and a runny nose. Edward and I both worked it out so one of us could be with her at all times. When I got home from the bar, I found Edward and Emma cuddled on the couch sound asleep. She looked so little next to him. Everyday had gotten better and better. I had high hopes that this was how it was going to be forever.

So what do you think? Some drama is brewing and it starts at the end of the next chapter. See you all Monday!

Thanks for all the reviews and to my girls who give me so much help.
