Author's Note:

I have no idea what happened. I put this part out on Saturday. It only seemed to work at TWCS. Here is CHapter 7 part 3. Of course you already have chapter 7 part 4. I hope it lets me reorder the chapters like it does on TWCS. If I can't, then tomorrow will look huge. Don't get all excited. It's Teaser Tuesday and I'll put out all of chapter 7 in one lump, so that it's easier to read or I'll give a link to where you can see it. Let me see what I can do. Thanks for bearing with me. I didn't feel well and probably shouldn't have tried to post... sorry about that. :(

"What is going on in here?" I spun around to see Edward Cullen standing a few feet from me.

Bella was right next to him. I hadn't even heard them come in, probably because I'd been shouting at the asshole insulting Bella.

"Why are you two yelling?" Bella asked.

"He was saying awful things about you!" I explained.

"Not about her, about Tanya," the asshole said, catching me off guard. "Why would I say anything bad about Bella? I just met her and she's here...um...for Charlie." He looked from me to Bella in the awkward silence. "Wait, you're Bella's sister?"

"Yes, I'm Alice," I said with my hands on my hips.

"Alice, it's nice to meet you. I'm Edward." He held out his hand and I shook it. He was cute in person, too. "I see you've met my agent, Jasper." What was it with Hollywood? Everyone was so fucking hot.

"Yes, we've met." I turned to face him. "Do you make it a practice to insult people randomly?"

"It wasn't random. I thought you were Tanya's assistant here to pick up her dresses for the Oscars," he explained. His voice was so cute, with the southern drawl, and his lips looked so kissable that I nearly forgot to be mad. Nearly.

"So you insult Tanya? She just had a baby. Where is she?" I asked looking around.

Edward sighed. "She's not here. She's… uh… busy."

I pictured her out working with orphans or something else. I didn't know her, of course, but I knew her characters in movies and she was so sweet and loving. I'd also seen her in the papers doing volunteer work at charities and things like that.

The sound of a baby crying interrupted my thoughts. At first I thought it was Elizabeth, but then I realized it was a much different sound.

"Excuse me, please," Edward said and began walking quickly toward the stairs.

"I'll be right back," Bella said and followed him. She was saying something about him not needing to go, but I didn't really hear what she was saying because they were hurrying up the stairs.

That left me alone with the asshole I now knew as Jasper.

"See, there was no need to say bad things. She's busy," I said looking at him. "I bet it's important?"

He looked at Jasper who shrugged his shoulders. "She's at the spa."

That didn't seem noble at all, but then again, she'd just had a baby. Maybe she needed a few hours to herself to feel good again. "Everyone deserves an afternoon off."

"She's been there for three days," Jasper said softly.

"Three days! But her baby was just born. How can she leave him so soon?" My head was spinning. I recalled my first conversation with Esme and when she told me about how Charlie was unable to take formula. I looked up at Jasper, "But, her baby is a newborn, and having trouble eating. How could she leave him to go to a spa? Its…its…appalling."

He smiled for a moment and I realized then that I'd used his exact word. He'd been right. I felt the need to apologize. "I'm sorry that I yelled at you before."

He nodded. "It's ok, Bumblebee." He smiled at me.
