Edward's POV

Bella had indeed talked with her brothers about moving in with me and they had insisted that she was fine, and that the house would always be her home, and she could stay whenever she liked. So here we were two months later, with a real estate agent, looking at possible home for the both of us. Bella insisted on using her money to buy a house and of course when my mother and father found out he wanted to give us thousands, 900,000 dollars to be exact. I had tried fighting him on it, but he kept insisting that nine hundred thousand wasn't that much out of his pocket.

So unwillingly I accepted it, and we added it to Bella and I's saved up budget which was $500,000, which added up to $1,300,000. We knew we didn't need this much, so we agreed that any left over money that we had would go back to my father after we get furniture and everything settled in. "Alright, so here is a list of three homes I have found. One of them is pretty close to the budget, but one of them is $100,000 less, and the third is around $550,000 less . I'll let you take a look at the photos I have and let me know if you would like to go look at any of them." Bella and I took around a half hour looking at them and decided that we wanted to look at the two cheaper homes.

After looking at the to, we had told the real estate lady that we were going to have lunch and discuss the options and would be back afterwards. "Ok... so the one house is a hell of a lot cheaper so that will give us quite a bit of wiggle room to renovate if needed at all and get furniture in. And the other house is only 100,000 less, and that's not a whole lot of room." Bella calculated. I had to agree with her.

"Yeah that is true. And the area around that cheaper house is spaced out and quite, but we also have the neighbors we want as well." After separating the pros and cons of the homes we went back to the real estate building and told her we wanted to purchase the cheapest home. And luckily for us we got the place.

When we moved my brothers helped me out, considering my brother Emmet started working in construction, so he helped us with renovations on the five bathrooms. We only truly needed 2.5 baths to we turned the other two in closets, and even renovated the entire outside of the house, though Emmet refused to be paid, we paid him anyway. So now our home had four bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen, master bedroom and master bathroom.

The next day after moving in we went furniture shopping with my mother Esme, and my sister Alice. Rosalie was more into cars so she went with Emmet to help him find a car for himself. For a little help I had taken a photo of our empty painted living room and looked at the colors of the wall and the hardwood floors and took photos of all the other rooms as well. For our living room we had settled on a black and white sectional, a glass and wood coffee table, two end tables, and a some what small TV for the living room. For the kitchen we choose stainless steel appliances, and some silverware, cookware, and other things necessary for a kitchen. For our bedroom we got a queen size bed with a comforter/sheet set that ranged in colors from Brown to gold, black and white nightstands, and armoire. And we got all the necessities for all the other rooms.

After had set up everything, Bella and I stood there, and smiled at the new home, and smiled, happy with our work. "This is gorgeous." Bella said.

"Yes, but it couldn't be more gorgeous than you." I said in a matter-of-fact tone. She laughed and looked at me.

"You really like to make me feel more beautiful than I really am." I scowled at her, before pulling her into my arms.

"You're just as beautiful as I say you are." I say before, pulling her to me, pressing my lips to hers. It ended all to quickly for my liking though.

"Yeah, life is all becoming good now. You know... all that's left now is to claim our relationship. You wanna come with me to the record label?" I nodded.

"It's good that they get to know me now." With that we left for her record label, and while we were there, all they asked for was my name, age, height, where I was from, and had me and Bella testify about how we met. And soon, she.. well, us became a huge fiasco in the media as well as Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, and Emmet when they claimed theirs as well. During the fiasco was had hid in our home. The day we found out about the fiasco was about a three weeks before now. I can still remember seeing that tv news gossip episode.

***Flashback***

Bella and I were just sitting on the couch, on a beautiful rainy tuesday. It had smelled so glorious outside that we had cracked open the upper section of our windows to get the smell in, it had reminded me of that smell when your sitting in a large meadow, surrounded by hundreds of roses, honeysuckles, and orchids, and right in front of you would be a huge, huge fresh, clean lake. Even Bella had agreed with me on it. The kind of extremely up-beat, catchy music on the TV made me wonder what Bella had been watching, so when I went in to investigate, it was a gossip channel, most likely probably trying to see if her name had made marks. Which surprisingly, her band was the main subject.

"Hello! And welcome to Gossipers News, I'm Samantha Warner and here is today's main focus. The new, quickly arising band, Star Dusk." Bella paused the show and had texted Alice, and Rosalie to watch it to, and also had told her brothers. "Star Dusk, a band led by the lead singer, Bella Swan, is really becoming a huge deal. We had gone around the country to people's homes, asking how much of fans they were, and put together the survey, 97% of the people had hit the percentage of crazy die-hard fans. Most of which we teens and young adults.

In their recent interview with Lisa Drew from "Diamond In The Rough," Bella Swan had stated their hopes for the band, the achievements that they had wished to reach, "what do you see for the future? Like, what do you hope to accomplish as a band, as models for people around the world to look up to?"

"Well, to show that no matter who you are, where you come from, or what your background is, you are able to accomplish anything. I'll be truly honest, I was what was considered a nerd, all of us were, and most told us we were never going to make it far in life, except be stuck in a cubical our entire lives. And hell were they wrong. To encourage kids to be themselves." Bella answered.

And which was a great message, and from research, that interview had gotten a great amount of teens into the band. But soon, with the information I have, that interview won't be the only exciting thing for their fans. We have, as well as other news, magazines, and gossip shows, have received that Star Dusk's sweet, hot, beautiful Izzy Swan is in a relationship. Sorry guys, but it looks like one of America's most eligible bachelorette's is no longer on the list." Bella looked at me, shocked.

"I was on that list?" I shrugged, even if she was, she was mine. She saw the look on my face voicing exactly what I had just thought, and she grasped my hand in hers.

"That's right."

"The lucky man for this woman, his name, is Edward Cullen, son of a wealthy father and mother from Forks, Washington, age 25, and a whopping 6 foot, 2 inches. From an anonymous source, they had meet at Star Dusk's very first big concert in Port Angeles." Just then three photos came up of Bella and I, and then two individual photos of Bella, and myself. How the hell had they gotten these photos? Duh, they were the press, they could get anything. "Well from all of us here at Gossipers News, congratulations. To end off this segment here is a live video from Star Dusk's concert in L.A. This is Samantha Warner, have a nice day."

***End of Flashback***

When Bella had to actually leave the house for work, to record the songs for a new CD, the press had crowded her outside the house, I had to run out, and make the press go away, but to one press person, she answered, "Look, we are together, and we are happy, and all that we ask is that you please leave us be. Nothing else to say." She answered in the most polite voice possible. And gave me a quick kiss, not caring that the press were right there, and got in her car to go to work, while they were preoccupied with her leaving, I had managed to sneak my way back inside.

It took a whole two months for the fiasco to end, and take god that it had. And now that our home hadn't become an attention hound we had decided to invite Bella's father, Bella's Brothers, my parents, my brothers, and Alice, Rosalie, and Laurent over for dinner. So the entire night before they showed up, I had been helping Bella prepare two large pork tenderloins, Fried potatoes, vegetable medley, and pulled the two wines out of the fridge.

That night had been amazing, especially getting to know Charlie. At first, of course, I had been terrified, but he was actually a really, really nice guy. And thankfully he liked me back, that's all I could have asked. Later that night, when Bella and I were laying down, she looked at me, "So, how did it go with my father? He wasn't mean to you was he?"

I shook my head, "No, we got along great actually, the only thing he had said to me was that if I ever hurt you, that he was going to hunt me down with a shotgun." I said, laughing, and laughed with me.

"That sounds like him alright." She said, sleeping taking over her voice, and before falling asleep I rested my face against her back and for the first time ever, I found myself wrapping my arms around her waist, and finding that is was one of the most comfortable ways to sleep.
