Brown Eyed girl Outtake is up!

First off, I'd like to once again say thank you to everyone who stuck with this story! It's meant so much to me to have you all on board! I've posted the ouutake that I contributed to Fandom 4 Tsunami last year, and it's made me miss the characters so much. Maybe something else will come along down the line...

"I think it's a great idea," he cajoled, kissing her on the neck as they were laying in bed one night.

"But isn't it a bit excessive? I mean, I love you and the fact that you want to build something like that for me, but I don't want to take you away from more important projects."

Edward leaned on his elbow and smiled down at her. "Nothing is too good for you, Princess."

She sighed, feeling every last defense melt with his heartfelt words. She brought her lips to his and kissed him softly.

"I love you so much. You know that, right?" Bella whispered in the quiet of their bedroom.

"I know," he replied, resting his forehead against hers. "As for the library, we can make it multi-functional if it makes you happy."

She cocked and eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Edward smirked, an impish look overtaking his features. "Well, we can make it a library/office. We'll add a big desk and a computer. Maybe our kids can do their homework in there some day."

2nd Chapter 24 Teaser!

Bella looked up as James plopped down into an arm chair, letting out a huge sigh. She'd been curled up on the couch, next to Edward's side while they watched a movie with Emmett. 

She clicked pause of the remote button, earning a disgruntled "Hey!" from her cousin, which she quickly stifled with a glare in Em's direction.

"How'd it go, Jame?" she asked quietly, eyeing her friend in concern.

James rolled his eyes and huffed dramatically. "About as well as I thought it would. Mom cried, and my father expressed his extreme disappointment at my choices, lecturing me about how he'd known all along that Hollywood would ruin me."

Bella let out a small sigh, moving to sit on the side of her friend's chair. She leaned into his side, and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"I'm sorry," she murmured. "I feel bad that I encouraged you to talk to them."

James shrugged, giving her a small smile and patting her leg gently. "Don't worry about that, Iz. It was the right thing to do."

Bella grinned as Edward shot her a confused smile.



"Have you ever heard of the term 'Grand Gesture'?" she responded cheekily, leaning up to kiss him swiftly before running back on stage.



His eyes widened in understanding as she gripped the microphone, glancing back at him with a grin.

"Hello, Seattle!" she shouted to the screaming crowd. "We're doing something a little different tonight, so please bear with me!"

Bella stared out the window, gazing down at the ground below. She briefly considered breaking the glass, and jumping the four stories, but quickly ruled that out, figuring that her luck the fall would leave her with a broken leg, and Jane would attempt to nurse her back to health all 'Misery'-like.

She wrapped her arms around her waist, glancing around the stark room, which contained only a bed. She sighed, and tried one last time to pry open the window. The wood must've been glued securely, because it wouldn't budge.

The sound of a key sliding into a lock made her jump, and face the door warily. The handle turned, and Jane sauntered in with a bright smile.

"Oh, Izzy!" she exclaimed enthusiastically. "You're awake already! I brought a friend to say hello!"

Bella's eyes narrowed as she noticed a tall man following Jane into the room. When his familiar smile came into view, she gasped and covered her mouth quickly.

"I'll be right there," Alistair replied hurriedly, snapping his phone shut.

He stood quickly, and walked over to squat down directly into Bella's vision.

"That was Edward," he said hastily. "There was some issue at the house, but it's under control. I'm heading over there to help out. Do not-" He paused for emphasis. "Do not leave this room or Tanya's side until one of us comes for you."

Bella's eyes widened and she immediately began to protest. "But, Al-"

"No," he replied firmly. "Please, Bella," he pleaded. "Just do as I ask. I can't do my job if I'm worried about you. Will you please promise to stay here?"

She swallowed nervously and nodded. She wanted nothing more than to follow him home, and find out what was going on, but she'd made a promise to the people she loved that her safety would be her foremost thought.

Thirty minutes later, Bella sat on the couch, her legs tucked underneath her and a blanket thrown over her shoulders. She stared blankly at the wall as a pair of uniformed cops checked the balcony and surrounding area. They'd questioned her and written down her answers, but her mind was preoccupied because Edward hadn't returned yet. She bit her bottom lip as it began to tremble and squeezed her eyes closed.

Her mind started to conjure the worst case scenario; the image of him bleeding and hurt on a random sidewalk popped in to her head. A sharp pull in her chest brought forth a gasp, and she brought her knees up, burying her face in them and sobbing quietly. She felt a hand rub her shoulder gently and looked up into Alistair's warm blue eyes.

"Hey," he whispered. "It's going to be okay."

"Bu-but Edward..." She stopped, covering her mouth with her hands to stifle a frustrated scream.

Alistair smiled sadly. "He's fine, Bella," he replied confidently. "He probably just got lost on his way back. This isn't the easiest neighborhood to navigate."

She blinked and scrubbed her face. "Do you really think that?" she asked in a small, scared voice.

He nodded. "I really do."

"Ugh, I hate these stupid shoes," Bella grumbled, as she practiced walking around the living room in four inch silver heels. "Why do I have to go to this thing again?"

"Well, who was traipsing around the back woods in sneakers for the past few months?" Tanya smirked from her seat on the couch, close to Mac. "Plus, you were the one who agreed to be James' arm candy for this awards show."

Bella stopped and put her hands on hips in annoyance. "Thanks for the support, Tanya," she replied sarcastically, a smile tugging at her mouth.

Tanya threw her head back and laughed. "I'm not here as your Fairy Godmother tonight, honey. I'm here to hang out with you uncle."

"Hello?"

Bella's heart started to pound as silence was the only thing heard. 

"Hello?" she asked again, her voice cracking.

Quickly noticing her rigid body language and the shakiness of her voice, Alistair pulled over to the side of the road. Motioning for her phone, she handed it to him and he reached out, quietly touching the screen to turn on the speakerphone. 

"Hello?" she said louder, gaining courage from Alistair's presence. "Who is this?"

A sharp intake of breath was heard, followed by a heavy sigh.

"Who is this?" Alistair growled out angrily. "Stop being a coward." 

The tell-tale click of a line being hung up echoed loudly in the tension-filled car.

"We should figure out how you're going to explain Mr. McCarty here, though."

"What do you mean?" Mac responded.

James pursed his lips. "Well, the media are going to start asking questions about the mysterious older man that was seen leaving the airport with us yesterday. In fact," he mused, "I'm almost shocked that they haven't yet."

Bella chewed on her bottom, deep in thought. "Well, I figured we could either pass him off as a bodyguard or tell the truth that he's family."

"I think it'd probably be best to go with the bodyguard angle for the moment." He paused, before nodding. "Actually, the more I think about it, the more I say we just don't say anything and let them assume."

Bella's lips curved into a devious smile. "You know what they say about assuming, James."

His brow furrowed in confusion. "No, what?"

 "You make an ass out of u and me."

He rolled his eyes. "Very mature, Iz."

She stuck out her tongue. "You're just jealous you didn't think of it first."

"Okay, children," Mac broke in, "do I need to separate you two?"

He tucked her head against his shoulder, holding her tightly. "It'll be fine," he whispered. "We'll talk to each other every day. Time will fly by, watch."

Bella took in a shuddering breath, willing herself not to cry. He was right; it wasn't the end of the world. "I know," she murmured. "I just didn't realize that this would be so hard."

He kissed the top of her head and sighed. "I'll be out to visit in a few weeks, but I'm sure it'll feel like a lifetime."

She smiled, that one bright spot giving her the strength to pull away. Leaning up on her tippy toes, she kissed him sweetly, one last time. His hands wrapped around her waist and their kiss quickly turned passionate.

"Okay, lovebirds," Mac called out. "I hate to break up your moment, but we needed to be heading through security ten minutes ago."

She let out a sigh of contentment as Edward settled behind her. She leaned back and rested herself against his chest, the hot water and bubbles lapping the at top of her breasts. His hands slid slowly down her arms until his hands joined hers on the lip of the tub.

"Is the water okay?" he murmured in her ear.

"It's perfect," she replied, turning her head to capture his lips in a soft kiss. "This has been the best Valentine's ever."

"I wanted to make it special for you," he replied quietly. "I'm going to miss you so much."

She let go of his hands and shifted her body sideways, water sloshing onto the floor. His eyes were sad as she reached up, cupping his cheeks.

"I love you," she responded emphatically. "I'll miss you, too, but remember it's only temporary. You own my heart, Edward. Completely and totally."
