Bella

Chapter 1

Birthday

"EDWARD!!!" I yelled for him "You're gonna be late!"

Renesmee was on her way home on September the 6th, her birthday. She and Jacob had spent the day at Charlie's. Edward knew that they were on their way, obviously. But he still wasn't ready! Sometimes I wished Edward could read my thoughts so that he couldn't ignore my yelling at him.

Just as usual Edward was by my side with me in his arms before Renesmee could take one step in the door. Tucked under his cold stone-like arm was a package, the same size as the one he had given me on my 17th birthday, so I'm told. He passed Renesmee the package, gently as possible she took off the shiny silver wrapping paper. It was a C.D. that she loved, the one that he gave me. This one however had an extra track. The first track was a lullaby he had written for her.

After hearing it Renesmee couldn't wait any longer. She shouted "MOM! What do you think of the charm bracelet Jacob gave me? It's the same as yours!" I must say Renesmee gets very excited. But as I looked at it I realized that it was the same, the wooden wolf charm on the bracelet was the exact same, she had something engraved in the back that mine didn't have Renesee's said 'I love you!' this was so sweet. But I knew Jacob couldn't help it. He had imprinted on Renesmee there was no escaping it.

Before I had a chance to pull out my gift for Renesmee, Alice and Jasper walked in carrying 2 packages I knew were a scrapbook and camera. Just after Renesmee had finished opening them, both Edward and Alice counted in unison "3, 2, 1!" as they whispered '1' a car honked outside and the brought Renesmee outside. There sat Carlisle in a blue Lamborghini Murcielago Review.

"OHHH MY GOD! I LOVE your knew car!" Renesmee was instantly in love.

"I'm glad you like it." Responded Carlisle. "Because it's yours."

"WHAT! You're kidding me!" Renesmee was breathless. Esme could wait no longer "and that's not even the best part" Renesmee was shocked and confused "Huh? What do you mean?"

Jacob was getting uncomfortable so he gave Renesmee a quick kiss on the cheek and left.

"we're going on a little trip" I told her "Renesmee you, Carlisle, and Esme can take your car Edward and I will take his Austin Martin, Alice and Jasper can take her Porsche, and Rose and Emmett can take Rose's BMW"

We all gently slid into our preloaded cars. I knew that Renesmee would be restless the entire way. It was a long trip.

Just as Carlisle started to unload their car Edward and I showed up. Edward was determined to make it to our destination before everyone else. I didn't know why but I knew he wouldn't tell me, so I pretended not to be curious. I thought I knew what was happening but whenever I brought it up with Edward or Alice they quickly changed the subject. I knew that they were hiding something from me but I would probably never know what they were hiding.

After about 2 days we reached our destination, Isle Esme. Isle Esme was the island Carlisle had bought Esme for a wedding present. Edward, Esme and Carlisle mad Renesmee and me cover our eyes. I was confused but I did as I was told.

Esme and Carlisle went to go get Alice, Jasper Rose and Emmett. Renesmee and I waited with Edward our eyes still closed. We were finally aloud to open our eyes. I realized then that the others had their eyes closed to, all but Alice. As usual she knew what was coming.

What I saw when I opened my eyes shocked me.

I saw in front of me the house Edward and I had stayed in for our honeymoon and Carlisle and Esme before us and a small cottage behind it that had the name 'Renesmee' written on it. No neither of these houses shocked me. It was the house behind. Again a cottage a little bigger than Renesmee's but the words printed on said 'Bella and Edward'

Alice dragged Rose, Emmett and Jasper around a bend. Edward and I followed to. Around the bend were 2 more houses these said "Alice and Jasper' and 'Rose and Emmett'. I was even more confused. Finally Edward explained to me

"We've been in Forks for to long now. You and I can't possibly explain how Renesmee is our daughter, us being 19 and 20 (our rumored ages) and her being 17." He explained

"We're going to live here. It's not to far from the mainland and we will still go back to Forks once in a while to see Charlie."

"This sounds GREAT!" I truly liked the idea, no more moving, we wouldn't have to hide and we would still go to the mainland a lot. "So" I continued "can we go check out our house?"

"We will," responded Edward "but first we have to give Renesmee the last of her birthday gifts."

Edward and I walked swiftly back to Renesmee's house. Esme and Carlisle had kept Renesmee out of her house until the rest of us had returned.

Mere moments after Edward and I had gone to wait with Renesmee, all three of us anxious to see the inside Alice arrived with Rose Emmett and Jasper. All 9 of us squeezed into Renesmee's tiny house. Renesmee's bungalow consisted of 3 rooms all open and painted light purple. Her kitchen to the far west, a small living room right beside and separated by a wall with a huge door was her bedroom to the far east.

Renesmee screamed a pleased "EEEEEEEEEE" as she saw Rose and Emmett's gift, a wooden grand piano in the far corner of her room. Edward had begun to teach Renesmee how to play piano and she loved it. Renesmee was just like her father in the way that she loved piano and music in general. She was a natural, and I love to hear Renesmee and Edward play together.

Renesmee then ran over to the piano and began to play. I followed her remembering that I still had not given her the gift I got for her. Out of my pocket I pulled a small wrapped box and as Renesmee finished her piece I handed her the box. As always she gently pulled off the paper and pulled out her gift.
