"Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Nessie," They all sung as the young girl sat at the large oak table with her princess cake that hand 6 candles in it, smiling.
"Make a wish Ness," Alice excitingly exclaimed.
It was the day of Renesme Cullen's 6th birthday, but if you looked at her you would swear she was at least 18. The idea of a princess cake for an 18 year old was Esme and Rosalie's, they decided that each year they would make a cake for their favorite niece and granddaughter and it would reflect the age she technically was; which made Bella and Edward extremely happy, it made them feel like they really did have a baby girl instead of a grown up daughter.
The flash of the camera Edward was holding went off as the lit candles were no longer lit candles.
"What did you wish for baby," Bella asked pulling her daughter into a hug.
"I can't tell you, if I tell you it wont come true," Nessie said, then the door to the house opened and Jacob came walking in as he fixed his tie.
"Hey you said you guys were going to wait for me," Jacob whined when he saw Carlisle cutting into Nessie's cake. Nessie stood up, grabbed a piece of cake Carlisle put on a plate and walked over to Jacob.
"Oh stop your whining you big baby," she joked handing him the cake and then placed her slender hand on his face showing him what he had missed.
Nessie and Jacob sat down at the table along with all of the Cullen's and ate their chocolate cake.
"What's with the tie," Nessie asked.
"Well SOMEONE put it on my bed and that SOMEONE left a note for me to wear it," he said looking over at Alice.
"Well I think you look handsome," Nessie said batting her eyes at the beautiful boy who seemed to be frozen in time.
On Renesme's last birthday when her body looked more like 15 was when she really started to look at Jacob differently, she couldn't help but notice how amazing he was, how much of him she couldn't resist, how beautiful he was. Ever since that last birthday Nessie had been dropping hints left and right but as usual Jacob would never give in what so ever. Nessie could feel her father's body stiffen every time she thought about Jacob, it was Edward's way of trying not to make a comment on the situation. Renesme just wants Jacob to wake up one morning and realize that she was no longer a little girl; that was her birthday wish.
The time was dwindling down and it was now 9:30 at night and Renesme had finished up opening her presents; a first addition of The Scarlett Letter from Carlisle and Esme, a heart locket from her mother and father, a $800 gift card to Sacs Fifth Avenue from Alice and Jasper and driving lessons from Jacob. It was an over all nice birthday.
Nessie was lying in her bed dressed in her pink sweatpants and white tank top that complemented her body well, as she read her book. She looked up from the fragile pages when she heard the door to her bedroom opening and Jacob walking in holding a Big Gulp cup in his hand.
"Hey birthday girl," he smiled as he sat down next Nessie, "Carlisle told me to give this to you," and he handed her the cup full of blood.
"Yay, thank you," she cheered as she put down her book and grabbed the cup.
"It still wigs me out every time you drink it from that cup, it's not an ice-e you know," Jacob joked.
They laid there for the rest of the night talking and laughing just like always, as always Nessie found herself falling asleep on Jacob's chest.
It had to be around 3 am when Nessie's eyes started to stir open, she reached out to her side but didn't find Jacob which wasn't unusual but when she opened her eyes all the way she saw him sitting on the chair in the corner of her room with his head in his hands. She sat up in her bed and turned on the lamp sitting on her night stand, "Jacob," she asked concerned. He immediately looked up and Nessie could notice that he was crying, "What's wrong," she asked.
"Ness I need you to no ask questions okay. I need you to just do what I say," he said.
She nodded her head okay and prepared herself for whatever he was going to say.
He stood up from the chair grabbed her two matching blue duffle bags from beside the chair, "Please come with me, I have to protect you, please come with me."
A billion of questions ran through Nessie's head all at once, but she couldn't help but ignore all of those questions. The look on Jacob's face was heart breaking, before she could look for a few items he said, "I have everything, your books, clothes, your locket, everything."
She through the covers off of her body and grabbed her shoes and her favorite blanket Esme gave her, "Come on what's taking you so long," she said as she walked out of her bedroom.
