Chapter 38: Wedding and baby talk
BPOV
When the phone rang this morning I wasn't prepared for the high pitched screaming that would come out of the speaker.
"HEEE PROPOSEEEED!"
"Alice? What are you talking about?" I could feel Edward trying to shut me up by hitting my side of the bed with his arm.
"Hang on.. let me get up first, Crazy," I teased her. I pulled my robe on around my short and skin-showing pajamas and walked downstairs to make myself and Edward some breakfast: we had to go back to work again. "Now tell me.. what is going on?"
"HEEE PROPOSEEEED!" She yelled again, but only now did the words really sink in. He proposed? Jasper proposed. Jasper proposed to Alice!
"You're engaged!?" I screamed at her, breakfast long forgotten. "Oh my goodness! No way! Text me a picture!" I gushed.
"Oh no, we're going to buy a ring together today," I raised my eyebrows even if she couldn't see them. "Yes, I know.. A bit unorthodox, but he knows I'm really picky and he wants a ring that I really love!"
"Ahw! ALLY! I can't believe this is happening!" We both started screaming from happiness and I squealed again. Heavy footsteps ran down the stairs and a half-naked Edward jumped into the kitchen, looking like he saw a ghost.
"Why are we yelling?" He asked, rubbing his temple. "Who's on fire?"
I covered my smile with my hand and giggled. "Alice got engaged. Isn't that wonderful?" I cheered.
Edwards scared face went back to normal and he rolled his eyes. "Why are we yelling then? It's just a piece of metal around her finger," Smirking he said, "Women.."
"Hey!" I smacked his back, knowing he was joking. "Shut up. Alice, I'll meet you someplace elsewhere to finish this conversation. We have to get ready for work, Honey. Bye!"
"Bye!"
"One more, then we're done! Places! Quiet on set! Aaaand Action!"
"This is ridiculous, Bec!" Cory said, switching his normal tee for a comfier button-down shirt. "If you don't want anyone to walk you down the aisle, then don't!"
"But I can't just not ask him! That wouldn't be fair to my dad!" Becca was arguing to herself mostly over if she wanted her dad or her step-dad to walk her down the aisle.
"You've known Jack your whole life, he's practically raised you! Howard only shows up for the fun parts! I think I've said my piece," He snapped.
"Don't get short with me now, Stone," I got up to help him with his buttons as he was way too stressed to do it himself right now. "I am just.. I don't know what to do." I look up at him and he smiles. Like he always does.
"Why don't we mix it up?" His hands found their way to my face and stroked the few angry stray-tears that decided to show themselves after our little argument. "Why don't I walk down with you? It will stand for starting the new part of our life, together."
"I'd like that,"
My feet were killing me, being shoved into these killer heels for this whole past shoot and I still had a couple more hours to go.
"Bella!" Sue, my handy-dandy manager waved me over and pulled up my schedule for the upcoming week. "Alright, so you'll have to shoot today, tomorrow and Wednesday, then Thursday you have an all-day photo shoot, for the posters and covers and such. And after that just the last bits of shooting for Bapos," she rambled on, but my eyes wandered off somewhere else.
Edward changing back into his regular shirt quickly made me lose all of my brain cells. "Bella? Isabella!" Sue snapped and I turned back to her with a guilty looking face. "Pay attention. You'll have your first screen test for your new project, Sunny Side Up next Friday. Don't forget. You'll be meeting your co-workers." She flicked my nose with her pencil and walked away smiling.
"Oooh.. Bella's in trouble.." Emmett chided. I stuck out my tongue to the overgrown man-child and hugged him.
"Hello, Em. What are you doing here?"
"I was wondering if.." He started fidgeting with his wedding ring around his ring finger and licked his lips an unnecessary amount of times "Well.. I-"
"Just spill it, Cullen!" I smacked his shoulder and he released a nervous laugh.
"Rosie hasn't really had a baby shower yet and I was wondering if you might.. you know.. maybe have the time.. and if you want - I mean if you don't then I get it.. but it would.. yeah.. you know?"
It took all my strength not to laugh at him. Emmett was stuttering. Emmett Cullen. 6 foot 4, almost 200 lbs of muscle, was standing before me, shifting his stance every five seconds like a scolded kindergartener.
"Emmett-" He looked up. "I'd love to organize something. I'm assuming it has to be something small, otherwise, you would've contacted your sister?" I asked him, smirking when he nodded.
"Yeah, I love Ally, but she can go a little overboard sometimes. And with Rose already being at seven and a half weeks, we wanted to get it done. Her words, not mine," He quickly added.
I nodded. "Will do. You can count on me, Emmett,"
