Bella's POV
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Renesmee, happy birthday to you!"
Everyone broke out in applause as Renesmee blew out the candles on her overly extravagant birthday cake, courtesy of Alice and Rosalie. Renesmee was seven years old today, the day at which she supposedly reached full maturity. Nobody had any doubts about; she was the same size as a teenager, and had all the abilities that a fully grown adult had.
Jacob had stayed as close as possible to Renesmee through the seven years, keeping an eye out for her and protecting her from anything that could be in the slightest bit dangerous. Renesmee always liked to argue the case that she didn't need protecting with her granite hard skin and faster than lightning run, but everyone could tell that she enjoyed having Jacob around.
"Hip, hip," Emmett boomed.
"Hooray!" chimed in the rest of the Cullen family. They were all gathered around the large antique table in the dining room that held the birthday cake and various other items of food, all laid out for Renesmee's friends who were there to celebrate her birthday.
"Aw, Ness! I can't believe your finally sixteen!" Catrin, one of Renesmee's closest friends ran up to hug her as I threw Edward a bemused look over the top of the piles of presents that had stacked up.
"I know! I can't wait to drive!" Renesmee replied flinging and excited glance at her father. He had given her her new car earlier that day. A new Mini cooper in black, just the car she had wanted.
"As long as you don't run anyone over. That could cause problems." Edward muttered, only loud enough for the vampires to hear.
I found myself inwardly grinning as I heard what Edward had said. I still haven't adjusted to my new life with my new abilities even though it's been seven years. Seven years! It had been so long, but the time always seemed to fly by. Most of my time was spent with Edward, Renesmee and of course Jacob, seeing as how he was practically attached to my daughter. I didn't mind it though. Jacob had grown closer to Renesmee as she'd grown up, also forming a good bond with Edward, and of course I had always been close to Jacob, apart from the time that I lunged at him, but I didn't like to remember that. No-one did anymore, not since Jacob had become such a permanent part of the family.
"Mum, we're going outside, OK?" Renesmee asked me as she darted to my side, careful to avoid the sight of her friends.
"If you want. Be careful though," I warned, thinking of the animals that lived in the woodland not too far from the house. "Keep out of the forest."
"But Mum! I wanted to show the girls my room!" Renesmee whined.
"Fine, show them your room, but go straight to the cottage and then come straight back." Edward chimed in. He always gave into Renesmee much faster than I ever did.
As Renesmee and her friends ran out of the back door we started to clear some of the food away.
"Oh my gosh! We should make party bags! For the girls, of course. They would love them!" Alice screamed, earning a shush from Carlisle and a warning of the girls overhearing us from Esme.
"Alice, what do we have that could go in party bags that sixteen year old girls would like?" Edward said, an amused smile lighting up his face.
"Well, we have the cake, obviously, and we could get loads of things from somewhere. I could go down to Port Angeles before the morning and pick up some things. It would be perfect, I bet Nessie would like it." Alice sang as she skipped through the entry way to the kitchen.
"Aren't you forgetting something Alice?" Edward asked as he followed her through to the kitchen.
"No, I don't think so. Why?" Alice asked, a confused look started to spread across her features.
"They're sixteen year old girls. They won't want party bags." Edward replied laughing a little.
We all watched Alice's expression change from confusion to comprehension and then finally her eyes took on a glazed over appearance and we left her to search the future. She was probably checking what kind of reception her party bags would get with the girls.
"They'll love them!" Alice suddenly screamed, her grin back on her face.
I saw Edward roll his eyes out of the corner of my eye and heard Emmett start to laugh in the dining room.
"I wondered why you had gone so quiet, pixie. Looking at the future, were you?" Emmett said, chuckling as he came into the kitchen, not bothering to move or talk at human pace now that our guests had gone outside with Renesmee.
"Rose!" Alice screamed, leaving the room after throwing a sarcastic look at Emmett, causing him to laugh even harder.
Moments later, we heard the front door slam and the engine of a car start up. Alice and Rose had gone to get things to go in the party bags.
"Well, you can all go and do what you want, I'll finish clearing this up" Esme said, moving towards the dining room.
We all thanked Esme and split up to do what we wanted around the house. I followed Edward through to the living room where he took a seat on the piano bench in front of the piano. He then proceeded to pat the seat next to him on the bench, indicating that I should sit down beside him. Of course I did that without a second thought. Then I sat and listened to Edward play as his fingers moved silently over the keys, the sound of my lullaby filling the house.
Next chapter up soon. :)
Please R&R! It would make my day :)
