Renesmee's POV
You'd think in a house of immortals-- who have seen birthday after birthday go by-- that they'd be tired of making cakes and putting up decorations. Not my family. Don't get me wrong, I love them with every ounce of my being. I just don't like birthdays, especially mine. Whenever my birthday rolls around I try to find any excuse to not have a party.
"You're do much like your mother.", my dad, Edward, chuckles.
Every year he says that. I don't think I've had one birthday where he hasn't said that. He's already said it three times today and I woke up a half hour ago by Emmett shocking himself while testing the sound system and Jasper's laughter. As you can probably tell I'm really in a great mood.
I'm standing against the wall at the far end of the kitchen watching Grandma Esme and my mom, Bella, make my birthday cake and food for the blowout party Alice has planned. It's my '7th' birthday, my last birthday before I stop aging like the rest of my family. I look about 18 so I'm really going to age anymore than I already have.
I cross my arms across my chest, sigh, and make my way over to Grandma and mom.
"Good morning sweetheart," says grandma coming over to me with a sweet smile on her lips. She warps me in a tight hug. "Happy Birthday." she adds while placing a kiss on my cheek. I groan.
"I'm sorry grandma, but can you not say that." I say with pleading in my voice and in my eyes. I hear some chuckling coming from just over Esme's shoulder.
"Aw Ness, I know how you feel. Alice used to do this to me too so don't make such a big deal about this okay? Humor her for the day. Your dad and I will talk to her about toning to birthday parties since you'll be done aging soon okay?"
"Alright, alright, fine. I'll humor her." I sigh, than a thought occurs to me. "Where's Alice anyway?"
"I believe she's upstairs in Rosalie's room picking out things for you to wear to the party." says my mom with pity in her eyes. I roll mine. This is where I draw the line. "Be nice Renesmee." says grandma. I realize my hand is still touching her arm, projecting my thoughts into her. I draw my hand back, "Sorry grandma, thanks mom." I turn around and leave to room headed for the stairs. I get to the bottom of the stairs, ready to take the first step when suddenly, Alice is standing there right in front of me.
"Alice-"
"Now Renesmee, don't start. We go through this every year."
"I know, but Alice, picking my clothes? Can't I pick my own clothes this year?"
She signs, "I saw something about this, tell you what Ness. How about you pick your outfits and Rose and I will approve them."
I think about what she just said. "That's still not technically freedom to wear what I want."
"Ness…" She whines.
"Please Alice…"
She stands there, staring at me, thinking things over. Finally, Alice blinks and sighs, "Alright, but if anyone starts little whispers about your outfit don't complain to me."
"Oh thank you Alice!" I grip her small frame in a huge hug. "Beside, I learned everything I know about fashion from you and Rose, I think I'll be fine and if I have any questions…", I smile "I'll ask."
"Ness you're the best niece in the world!", she squeezes me tighter making it kinda hard to breathe.
"Alice….half….human…"
She lets me go, smiling ear to ear. "Sorry, thank you again." She turns around and heads back up stairs, but stops.
"Ness?"
"Yes Alice?"
"The party's not going to be that bad, you're going to have fun. You're going to look gorgeous too, I've seen it." I smile a little bigger then I was before. She smiles back at me and starts up the stairs again.
Over the years, Alice's vision have started to get clearer when it comes to me and the wolves. She still doesn't like the fact she can't see everything. I think it makes her nervous.
Speaking of wolves, I can smell my dad talking outside on the porch with my wolf. Well isn't that fantastic. Okay, I guess Jacob's not mine, but that's what I see him as. Mine. We're not together per se, we've been best friends for as long as I can remember and he's always been there for me, no matter what. I personally like to think that's a dibs factor. I've loved him since I was a kid, but now I'm starting to think I'm falling in love with him. I can't look at him without blushing- curse my mom for inheriting her end of the gene pool.- or getting a goofy smile on my face my face.
I walk over to the front door while trying to keep my thoughts as clear as possible, so my dad doesn't know I'm listening. I lean against the door to hear what they're saying better.
"I have to tell her Edward. She's gunna stop aging soon. Nessie not knowing is driving me nuts."
"I know how you feel Jacob, but Bella and I want Renesmee to be able to choose, not be forced to choose you."
Tell me what? And choose Ja- aw crap…
"Edw-"
"Jacob I understand, but now isn't really the time to discuss this. We have an audience."
I freeze, I'm literally afraid to breathe.
"You can open the door Renesmee." says my dad calmly.
I slowly ease the door open to come face to face with my dad and Jacob. My dad's face is calm, not really reveling anything about the conversation. Jacob's face is a little more stressed but once he looks at me, it relaxes like there was never a conversation. I flash a nervous smile at him and my dad.
"H-hi."
I look back at Jake and instantly feel the heat growing in my cheeks. He returns my smile with an ear to ear grin. I live for that smile.
"Hey Nessie."
Jacob is the only one I let call me Nessie, much to my mom's liking. Nessie just sounds too young and I don't like being treated like a child. But when Jake says it, it's just a nickname, not a kids name, just me.
"I leave you two alone."
My dad starts walking past me into the house, but not before he kisses me on the forehead and wishes me happy birthday yet again. I mumble a thanks and walk through the doorway, over to Jacob.
He catches me in one of his famous warm, giant hugs. I bury my face in his chest.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but did I just hear you say 'thanks' after your dad wished you a 'happy birthday'?"
I look up at him and nod with a questionable look on my face. He shrugs.
"Huh. Didn't see that coming."
I raise an eyebrow, "Why's that?"
Suddenly he's out of my arms, running toward the edge of the trees.
"If you want to know you'll have to catch me first."
Then he's gone, into the woods. I stand there, stunned for a second before I race after him into the trees.
