Sweet Sixteen

All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenine Meyer. I only made the story line :)

Chapter One - The Party

I blew out the sixteen candles that littered the lilac birthday cake and smiled brightly. Sweet Sixteen, full of life and surrounded by the people I loved most on this earth, I was ecstatic. Alice knew what I liked. She had thrown an over the top party for me with banners, balloons and streamers, the whole room was painted in lilac and silver even my father's piano was covered making me the centre of attention. Alice being Alice had dressed us all to match the colour scheme. Rosalie, Alice, Esme and my mother Bella were dressed in lilac dress and the men dressed in lilac tuxes (how they allowed that I'll never know). Even Jacob. My best friend and partner in crime had allowed my overly excited auntie to dress him accordingly and still stood beside me with a brave look on his copper face. The whole room erupted into applause and smiles and I bowed accordingly to my audience. I pulled Jake into a fierce hug and we smiled brightly at each other, from the corner of my eye I saw my father, Edward grimace slightly.

"Happy Birthday Nessie!" Jacob exclaimed pushing a loose lock of bronze hair behind my ear, I ruffled his shaggy black hair do in response and we both laughed. Next to find me of course was my mother.

"You look beautiful darling. Happy sixteenth birthday" she smiled staring deep into my brown eyes. I laughed, the bell chime rang throughout the room, and suddenly my father was by her side smiling his famous crooked smile. "Does this mean I can drive the Vanquish now daddy? Seeing that I'm legal to drive." I teased biting on my bottom lip a small habit picked up from my mother. His smile faded into a hardened mask and his golden eyes went cold for a moment to match his faces hard exterior.

"Not a chance." he said flatly then his lips curved into a smile.

"You can drive my Ferrari dear." Mother chided digging Dad in the ribs, he shot her a fierce look and she kissed him softly. I pranced around the room, passed from family member to family member receiving hugs and many happy returns till I finally reached Uncle Emmett.

"Hey 'lil squirt, your sixteen now. Starting school with your parents and favourite Uncle?" he beamed. Rosalie still being in reach smacked him across the head with the back of her hand. I laughed again my curls tumbling over my shoulders.

"Trust you Emmett Cullen to dampen a party with talk of school!" Rosalie scolded while Emmett hung his head. I gave him a fierce hug and received a bear hug back.

"I love you Uncle Em!" I laughed.

"I love you too Renesmee, never ever forget that." he replied. He stepped back ruffled my hair and took off the tuxedo jacket.

"Alice will kill you taking that off." I teased straightening my own silver shimmery dress out.

"Stupid monkey suit." he mumbled.

"EMMETT CULLEN! PUT YOUR JACKET ON RIGHT THIS INSTANT OR FORGET ANY CONTACT WITH ROSE FOR THE NEXT YEAR ONCE IM DONE WITH YOUR MANLY...." Alice screamed but was instantly cut off by Dad.

"Sensitive ears!" Dad shouted placing his iron grasp over my ear lobes, I rolled my eyes. When he was sure my innocence was not going to be compromised he removed his hands and pulled me around into a hug he sighed.

"Is it present time yet." I sulked hugging him.

"Yes sweetheart." as soon as he said that everyone was back again, Jake was jumping up and down excitedly and Dad threw him a dirty look. What was his problem? He had been fine with my best friend until now. I pondered on the thought briefly as I was ushered outside the house. On the weeks...or months leading up to my birthday I had repeatedly played an image of the purple convertible I wanted into everyone's head so that they would get the hint that I wanted that car, maybe they had listened. Auntie Alice and Uncle Jasper were standing on the porch steps of our grand mansion and Alice was just as excited as Jacob jumping up and down I could feel the calm that Uncle Jasper sent out and it was just not helping. Poor Jasper. As I glanced around my family I noticed that Grandma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle had a sliver parcel in their hands, same as Uncle Emmett and Auntie Rosalie, Auntie Alice and Uncle Jasper and Mum and Dad. Presents!! Esme spoke first.

"My beautiful Granddaughter Nessie. You are becoming a young lady so Grandpa and I decided to get you something beautiful, unique and special that symbolises you, and yes it's lilac too!" Everyone laughed as she handed me the little parcel. I unwrapped it with great care and took of the lid to what looked like a jewellery box. Inside amongst the champagne satin was a bracelet made of tiny amethyst flowers with a diamond "R" on the clasp, it was beautiful.

"Thank you so much!" I said pulling them both into a great hug. Carlisle kissed my forehead while Esme patted my shoulder. Rosalie stepped forward next and gave me the next parcel.

"Emmett and I decided that Alice was obviously getting you clothes so we decided to get you something that enhanced your musical side." I once again unwrapped the package to see a purple iPod starring at me engraved saying "Renesmee Cullen. We love you with all our hearts. Rosalie && Emmett xx" I also pulled them into a hug and thanked them greatly. I moved over to Alice who surprisingly also had a small package.

"Nessie. Jasper and I decided...well I decided that we would get you a few things." she smiled. "You cannot truly see your present until your parent's, then you can go off and explore" she said passing me the parcel. Inside was a silver key with a lilac ribbon on it. I gave her a confused look.

"The cupboard in your room behind your bed." she tutted and finally Dad stepped forward. I heard the sound of a car approaching and my face lit up.

"Well your mother and I fought for a while and somehow your mother convinced me that you would need this now." he smiled and presented me with the final parcel I knew what it was. Inside was a set of car keys and when I turned around my purple convertible was sitting there with my mother beside it. I squealed loudly and jumped into the car.

"Who's up for a road trip." I said clapping my hands together. Everyone laughed apart from my dad whose face went whiter, I never thought it was possible but it happened. Jacob jumped in the car beside me and I started the engine, we both squealed in delight at the engines purr.

"Only drive it back to the garage Nessie!" Dad said seriously eyeing Jacob.

"Sure, sure" I called as I pulled down the gravel driveway towards the large Cullen garage. This is definitely the best birthday EVER!
