At this moment in time Faith was reading a book not just any book a cake recipe book, why you might ask, well today was Bella's 18th birthday and Alice being well Alice wanted to make today special, Alice loved birthdays and well she thought the 18th was the most important she had told Faith why but Alice was that excited she rambled on for ages and Faith lost focus. Faith and Alice where the closest to Bella apart from Edward. Faith was told everything by Bella stuff she couldn't tell Alice and in away they became like sisters after what had happened at the ballet studio and the nightmares Bella had Faith understood why they became so close. Alice had given each Cullen a task to do and when it had to be done, well Faith had the task of baking a cake before school started which at this moment in time was going rather slowly not because Faith couldn't cook but Faith didn't know which cake to bake.
She continued looking through the book before Jasper and Alice enter the kitchen back from a hunt.
"Faith you haven't started yet" Alice smiled
"No not yet Alice"
"Why"
"Well I don't know which cake to do there a Chocolate one or a plain sponge"
Jasper smiled then laughter slightly
"Oh yes jasper laughing is helping me choose you have the easy job"
"Now how do I" Jasper accent was thick in that statement it made Faith smile
"Well you just have to keep Bella relaxed"
"Now Ma'am I resent that remark you don't know how feeling that girl feels at once"
Faith laughed and turned to face her best friends showing them the book
"I think the Plain one Faith Bella not know for her taste" a new voice entered the room.
"Now rose we know your liking for Bella has changed of late but must you be mean," Faith stated Rose was now leaning against the door looking rather smug.
"Well it true look at the way she dresses and the way she acts she is very plain"
Faith loved Rose and could see why she disliked Bella but she also knew that Edward was somewhere in the house and it was wrong to talk about someone's partner in such away.
"Rose enough just because she wants to be a vampire is not enough to dislike her" Faith snapped
Rose looked rather shocked huffed and left the room, only to be replaced by Edward a few moment later who nodded and smiled at Faith.
"Thank you but you don't have to defend her all the time"
"Maybe not Eddie but Rose needs to learn that not everything is up to her"
He laughed then pointed to the book she was holding
"Bella likes chocolate if that helps"
"Reading my mind again Eddie"
"Well it helped I better go I have to pick up the birthday girl"
"Ok Edward I see you at school before you go any chance you seen Emmett"
"He went hunting with Tom this morning"
She nodded, lately Tom and Emmett became good friend which was fine Faith knew that if Tom lost control Emmett could stop him more then anyone else with Tom being a newborn, Plus Tom didn't go to school at the moment he spent that time with Emmett or Rose who didn't need to be at School they graduated last year. Faith placed the book on the counter in front of her and began to look at what she needed using her mind the cupboard open the ingredients came out and carefully landed on the counter before the door shut once again, once all the ingredients where gather she began to bake the cake,
Half way through the mixing she heard laughter come from the front door, she smiled fondly knowing exactly who it belong to, a few seconds later a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist and a kiss was pressed on her cheek.
"Hello my darling wife"
"Hello Emmett enjoy your hunt"
"I did indeed got myself a grizzly" he laughter once again sounding making her smile
"And where is Tom"
"Here mother don't worry I only killed a deer or three" She looked to see tom standing the other side of the counter smiling at her.
"Don't worry babe he did good he gone from killing near 8 to three I thinks his hungry is slowing" Emmett kissed her cheeks again
"I know I know I can't help but worry Tom is like my little brother I worry to much"
"Well don't worry Faith you Emmett and Rose have taught me well"
Has Tom said that he dipped his finger in the Cake mixer and tasted it?
"Yum that is rather nice"
Faith smacked his hand and growled slight making Emmett laugh
"Don't do that that is unhygienic"
"Sorry mother I am off to find Rose" Tom laughed and left
"She is the garden" Faith shouted after him
"I wonder about him at times"
"Babe chill he is doing good" Emmett turned her to face him taking her face in his hands
"No one and I mean no one blames you for what happened to him he is not a child and he doesn't need to looking out for like you're his mother, if we where human he be the same ages has you now so relax"
She smiled and Emmett leaned and placed a gent kiss on her lips only to have her deepen the kiss and wrap her arms around his neck has they where kissed a small cough stopped then they turned to see Alice with her hands on her waist and jasper looked rather amused.
"Faith that cake need to be done soon we have school"
"I am sorry Alice Emmett is a distraction" this caused the two males to laugh and Alice to smirk
"I will help you at least that way he wont cause any more"
The two girls continued baking the cake for the next hour until it was complete and decorated. Faith then changed ready for school kissed Emmett to say goodbye then was dragged to the car by Alice.
Once at school they saw Bella and Edward standing by Bella's locked, Faith noticed that Bella didn't look happy about something and was looking down has Edward spoke to her, Alice being Alice ran at the poor her grabbing her into a hug.
"Happy" Alice jumped up and down to be cut off by Bella
"Shhhh"
"Birthday" Alice whispered
Faith and jasper stood back for a moment to watch the scene unfold has Edward leant against the lockers. Alice reached into her bag and pulled out a present.
"Alice didn't I say no gifts"
"You did but I didn't I seen you open it and guess what you love it" Faith laughed at Alice over enthusiastic manner and continued watching.
" You had a venison about my birthday"
"Yes and about the green dress your going to wear for the party"
"My Party?"
"Please please Bella it will be fun" Alice begged looking rather beat and confused Bella answered
"I guess I can deal"
"Great see you later" Alice hugged her and rushed off
"Wait Jasper you controlled my emotions no fair"
"Sorry Bella" he smiled and followed Alice, Faith was now standing next to Edward smiling
"Vampire you just can't trust them" Edward laughed making faith laugh too and Bella smile
"I just gotta get my books" Faith stated
"I will wait with her" Bella looked at Edward whom nodded and walked away
"Well" Bella said
"What Bella"
"No happy birthday no presents" Faith smiled behind her locker door
"Do you want me to say happy birthday or not"
"Well I don't know I feel weird is all"
"Why Bella because Edward is stuck at 17 and your 18 now" Faith closed her locker and looked at her human friend. Who nodded and looked down
"Look Emmett had years on me when I met him but I didn't let it freak me out just because your human and he isn't doesn't mean anything"
"I had a dream well a nightmare"
Faith grabbed Bella's hand and smiled
"Look Bells Eddie loves you more than he world its self he will do anything to keep you save remember that and take it a day at a time" Faith pulled Bella into a hug then whispered in her ear
"Oh Bella Happy birthday" Bella pulled away with a smiled and pushed faith in a playful manner
"Your funny very funny"
In class faith sat between Bella and Alice while the class watched Romeo and Juliet, faith use to love this film and the book until the about 30th time she had to do it and now it just bored her. So instead she listened to Bella and Edward whispering it seemed more interesting then the now boring film.
"I hate celebrations," Bella whispered
" Come on, the last real birthday any of us had was Emmett's, I think Bing Crosby was on top of the charts, You'll be helping us feel normal for a night." From the corner of her eye she saw Edward kiss Bella's hand and Bella look rather trapped.
"There are worse tragedies than a birthday. Look at Romeo. He's responsible for his wife's death. Who could live with that?... Though I do envy him one thing." Bella looked shocked before stating
"Yes Juliet is alright if you like pure beauty I suppose" Edward looked confused and Faith tried not to laugh.
"Not the girl, the suicide. Nearly impossible for my kind. But humans, a little poison, dagger to the heart. There are so many options." Faith was rather shocked and Bella looked a little upset by the comment
"Why would you say that" Bella Snapped Edward simple turned over Bella's wrested and looked at the bite mark from James. Faith now Felt like she was invading a important moment and focus hard on the screen at the end scene of Romeo and Juliet. Suddenly Faith's attention is pulled away from the screen to Mr Berty the English teacher standing by Edward
" Is there something you'd like to share with the class, Edward?"
"Certainly not. But I apologize for being a distraction. Perhaps you should rewind to act five, scene one, line twenty-eight eighty-nine if you had the strength of twenty men it would dispatch you straight." Mr Berty looked rather shocked but Faith laughed when he turned and shouted
"Eyes on the screen people"
After the Class Faith went to get the book for the next class, when she closed the door there stood Edward. Faith jumped and Edward smiled
"Must you do that Eddie?"
"I wanted to say thank you"
"For"
"Well I know your where listening to me and Bella talking"
Faith looked down
"Sorry I got bored"
"Its ok I know you stopped listening when it got personal" he smiled and put his hand on her shoulder
"Edward have you really though about it"
"Yes I have when James had Bella" she hugged him tightly
"Well don't ever again"
"yes mom" they both laughed and walked to the next class
