When I got to work, it was the same as usual. People on phones, machines or talking to one another. A couple of people wished me happy birthday and a few others gave me cards and presents. Nothing special. Socks, a book, more socks, chocolate, even more socks and a 2 4 1 voucher for McDonalds.

But all day just one thing stuck in my mind. The surprise. A new car maybe? A computer? A night filled with passion and sex? All the possibilities whizzing around in my mind. I couldn't wait to get home that evening.

Finally, after what seemed forever, my alarm buzzed to tell me my shift was over. I was so excited! I grabbed my stuff together, grabbed my coat, signed out and rushed home. When I got there, Bella was sitting in the lounge with a cup of tea watching countdown.

"I'm home honey"

"Oh, hi darling! How was your day?"

"The usual"

"There's a cup of tea waiting for you in the kitchen"

"Thanks babes"

I walked into the kitchen, dumped my stuff on the table and took my cuppa in to the lounge. I sat down next to Bella and put my arm round her.

"Soooo, what's my surprise then?" I asked curiously but with a MASSIVE grin spread across my face.

"You will have to wait 'til the family gets here" she replied defiantly.

I grabbed my mobile and dialled Carlisle's' and Esmes number just as there was a knock at the door.

I jumped up out of my seat and ran to the door.
