Note: The Quileutes and the Cullens were united and had formed their friendship. They planned to surprise Bella and Renesmee for their upcoming birthday. Renesmee's turning seven years old, her adult stage; that's the time her body stops aging. Bella's turning 25 years, and still hates celebrating her birthday.
CHAPTER ONE: AN IDEAL VISION
It was a cold morning in August, The Cullens, along with Sam and Jacob's pack went to La Push beach for a Sunday barbecue. Emmett, Edward and Jasper hunted wild boars and gave the meat to Sam and Jacob, and of course they took its blood for them.
"Wow, this is great food!" Seth exclaimed with excitement.
"Only the best!" Emmett said confidently while he grins and he shakes his head.
"We'll get the firewood ready." Jasper said.
"Good, good. Make sure you'll get plenty of them, we'll even grill chickens and fish." Jacob added, seems excited about the food.
"Good call, Jake. Just make sure you'll set aside its blood for us." Edward favored Jacob as he gets himself ready to get some firewood in the nearby forest, but Edward suddenly thought of something and he told Jasper and Emmett to go ahead and he'll follow afterwards. Jasper and Emmett dashed their way to the forest.
Sam and Seth went to the small tent to get the knives ready. Jacob and Edward were left in the firewood area.
"Hey, is something wrong?" Jacob asked Edward quite worriedly.
"No, I just thought a month from now; it'll be Renesmee and Bella's birthday. Renesmee will finally maintain her physical appearance and will stop her aging process, she'll be turning seven years but she'll look like seventeen or eighteen just like her mother's perpetual age." said Edward.
Jacob grinned and seriously smiled, gazing at the sea waves. "Yes, finally! She's not our baby anymore. She's finally a woman, and Bella, I'm sure she doesn't want to celebrate her birthday again." Both Edward and Jacob laughed out loud.
"Indeed. She hates reminding her of how old she's been lately, she hates aging." Edward said while laughing.
Meanwhile, the women were in Emily's place; Emliy, Esme, Renesmee, Rosalie, Bella, Leah, Sue and Alice. They help Emily and Esme fix some small decorations, utensils, other food for the Quileutes, the ingredients to be brought by the beach, selecting some clothes and swim suites to wear, and etcetera.
On the other hand, Rosalie and Bella were folding napkins for the picnic.
"This is so perfect. I never expected this to happen, everything goes well. Part of my human life's still here with me, I thought it would be gone forever." said Bella happily.
"Yes, I know. You are very blessed with these families of yours, you were changed and they still stood by your side, they still accepted you, Bella." Rosalie said emotionally happy.
Bella smiled and stopped folding napkins, she sighed. "And you're one of them, Rose. I never thanked you for accepting me in the family, for taking very good care of me and Renesmee while I'm still pregnant. And also, I wanted to apologize for making you mad or pissed, I…I'm not sure.."
Bella didn't get the chance to finish her statement and Rosalie gently puts her hand into Bella's lips. "It's all in the past now, Bella. You don't need to apologize for that, I should be the one who apologizes to you. I also wanted to thank you for making my brother happy, for making us happy as well, and for bringing Renesmee into our lives. You know, I can be her mother too; and I love her so much."
"Yeah, I know that, Rose. Nessie loves you so much too; remember you were the first one who took very good care of her while I was on my deathbed."
Rosalie was touched and scoffed. "Oh Bella, are we going to continue this drama and leaves the napkins unfold?" Both of them laughed and even teased each other. Renesmee passed by and greeted them. "Hello mom! Hello Aunt Rosalie!" She looked very happy and she's even blushing, she continued walking to the guest room.
"Hmm, I think Renesmee's starting to bloom, Bella." Rosalie said in a teasing manner.
Bella sighs. "Yeah, she's very beautiful isn't she? I think that's part of her growing process, she looks more like Edward."
"Indeed. But I think that's part of her being in-love" Rosalie chuckles.
Bella paused for a while, she wanted to think about her future with Jacob, but Bella knew how loyal and protective Jacob was to her, in fact she was a bit worried. Maybe Renesmee isn't ready for that phase in life? Maybe it's too early? Or maybe Bella's just overreacting?
"Uh…Bella? Is everything alright?" Rosalie asked her a bit worried.
Bella stopped thinking and suddenly looked at Rosalie. "Huh? Oh I'm sorry Rose, maybe I'm just over-thinking things lately."
Rosalie just smiled and just continued folding napkins. She didn't want to open up the conversation relating Renesmee and Jacob; she knows it'll make Bella kind of worried again.
Renesmee was on Emily's guest room. She looked like a 13-year old girl but she was really 6 years old, her beauty was half of Bella's and Edward's, her brown, wavy locks grows even faster and was almost hip length. She was fair-skinned; almost pale, but her lips and cheeks were pinkish rose which blooms and blushes whenever she smiles and laughs. Her chocolate brown eyes was like Bella's eyes when she was still a human, and it can be compared to Charlie's, but Renesmee's eyes were lighter.
She opened her bag and checked on her clothes. Nessie sighs, thinking that after a month she'll age again; and her beautiful young teenage clothes will be useless. "It's such a waste to throw all of these beautiful dresses. Maybe I'll just keep this in my baby closet?"
Renesmee doesn't like shopping that much, just like Bella before. Her Aunt Alice and Rosalie were the one who gives her expensive clothes, dresses and shoes; but Renesmee likes simple clothing, she's not the "elegant" type and Jacob prefers her to wear blouses, jeans and sneakers, for that, whenever they hunt, Nessie won't be having a hard time running and her expensive dresses may be ripped off if ever.
Nessie checked her phone; she received three messages, one from Edward and two from Jacob.
"Hello sweetie, how are you and your aunts and mom? I hope you're having a great time, If you're bored, call or text me. I love you so much, my princess." – Edward's first text message to Renesmee.
"And oh, of course, how will I forget, tell your mother that I love her so much." – Edward's second text message.
Nessie giggles and replied to her dad.
"Hello Daddy, we're all doing great around Emily's place. Right now I'm at the guest room and resting for a bit. Aren't you coming over here? I love you too Dad, so much. And yup, I'll tell mom too. :)"
It's time to read Jacob's message. Nessie excitedly opened Jacob's message.
"Hi Nessie, what's up? I missed you already. Can you girls hurry up? The pack's starving! LOL just kidding. Can't wait to see you. I love you."
Nessie's cheeks turned pinkish red and she giggled even more. She's thinking what she will say to Jacob, she hopped and hopped to the bed and screams. Alice walked past the guest room door and heard her.
"Oh dear Nessie, that's the love scream." Alice giggles as well and she suddenly saw a vision of Renesmee walking down a great aisle with red carpet. She was wearing a beautiful gold and silver gown, and she was wearing a small crown, Bella walked after her and she was wearing a black and red gown with large diamonds etched on the her top dress. Then her vision suddenly disappeared. Alice thought for a second and she nods.
"Oh, of course, a grand banquet!" She went back to the kitchen and helped Esme, Leah and Emily.
Esme was cooking Cheesy Lasagna; Emily baked corn and chocolate muffins while Leah made cocktails and other pica-pica food. Alice hums and then sings, and then Esme suddenly observes her. "You seem happy, tell us all about it."
"Well, whenever I see beautiful visions it won't make me stop singing like this."
"Good to hear that, Alice. Maybe we can celebrate on that vision of yours?" Leah said while mixing cocktails.
"DEFINITELY!" Alice exclaimed! Esme, Leah and Emily suddenly stopped their work and looked at Alice weirdly. "Oops, sorry ladies! Let's go back to work, shall we?"
"We shall, and you scared me!" everyone in the kitchen laughed.
