It was summer in forks well looking at the weather you wouldn't of thought it was summer but the air was warm and you could smell all the flowers blossoming in the meadow but with the thick clouds no sun was shining through today was a very special day it was Charlie birthday he never celebrated his birthday before it would be dinner at his favourite place to eat followed by watching a game on the TV but this year it was different for him. I don't know if it was cause of all the changes when Jacob let him in about the werewolves or my appearance that had changed my eyes were dark amber now going into a gold the human bloody in my system was nearly gone and was diluted by the animal blood I drank instead or having his granddaughter Renesmee who was his world he loved that little girl soo much. Alice was helping Charlie with the party the day when he said he was going to have a party Alice was all up for setting it all up

"Charlie I'll do the party for you" she smiled and fluttering her eye lashes I knew Charlie wouldn't want a party well the kind of party that Alice would throw

"Ermm Alice it's ok I don't want any of that fancy stuff don't get me wrong you throw amazing parties but I was just thinking a few friends and BQ few beers something simple" she didn't look impressed Charlie was trying so hard not hurt her feeling .

"Charlie I can do simple you want man's party" Alice spoke a little bitterly now he knew he hurt her feelings.

"Ok Alice you can do it but no fancy stuff" she was beaming with great big smile Alice had gotten her way I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Thank you Charlie" she told him with joy in her voice yeah she was definitely happy she got what she wanted.

"I mean I can help prepare and on the day" Charlie offered I knew Alice wouldn't let him do anything she loved to surprise people.

"No Charlie that won't be necessary leave it all to me why don't you go fishing while we set up" he looked a little unsure but Charlie could never say no to going fishing "You can take Edward and Jacob with you show them both a man's sport" Charlie face lit up he never done anything like that with Edward or Jacob he thought that it wasn't there kind of thing with them being so young. Edward stopped playing the piano and Jacob looked up from the sofa both looking worried.

"So boys you're up for a bit of fishing?" Jacob and Edward looked at each other Edward got up from the piano seat.

"Certainly Charlie I think it would be quite fun" Charlie looked at Jacob who didn't look overly impressed with the fact that he been dropped in to go fishing.

"Isn't that for old people sport?" Charlie face didn't look impressed at all.

"Old people Jacob!" Jacob started to laugh I think he knew he touched a nerve.

"I'm kidding Charlie it should be fun" then the tension from Charlie's face fell.

"Right I'll pick you both up at six on Saturday" I glance over at Edward and Jacob there expression were priceless.

"Sure Charlie" they both said in unison Charlie went over and gave Nessie and big hug.

"Grandpa it's your birthday Saturday?" Nessie asked looking up at him and he began to smile widely.

"Yes it is Nessie" she smiled at him sweetly Nessie loved Charlie to bits.

"Are we going to have a big party then?" she asked with excitement in her voice and Charlie face froze.

"Errrm don't give your aunty Alice any ideas" she smiled again and gave him a big hug "See you on Saturday Nessie" he hugged her tightly back.

"bye grandpa" he said bye to everyone and gave me a hug he whispered into my ear

"Bella please make sure Alice don't go over bored" I chuckle he didn't know that even when he whispered everyone in the room could hear.

"I'll try my best dad" he gave me a kiss on the cheek he had gotten used to the coldness of my skin it didn't bother him anymore.

"Love you Bella" he had been tell me that a lot more lately I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Love you too dad" I told him as he left as soon as the door was closed Alice jumped up.

"I have a party to plan" I looked at her I needed to make it clear to her that Charlie didn't want anything fancy.

"Alice Charlie being serious nothing fancy" she looked at me arching her brow which meant she was annoyed.

"Nothing fancy scouts honour Bella it's going to be very Charlie party I need to get started I have three days to prepare" I smiled and she was off Nessie was trying to teach Jacob how to play chess and he couldn't really grasp the concept of it but he did anything to keep her happy and Nessie always won which made him happy.

"So you're going fishing" I felt Edward's arms around my waist while he rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Well it looks like I'm" Jacob looked up from the chess game "have you ever fished before Edward?" Edward chuckled I couldn't really picture Edward fishing don't seem the type.

"It's never been on my to do list to be honest Jacob but Charlie was very happy of the idea of both of us going in his words male bonding time" Edward responded Jacob smiled.

"Male bonding well if it makes Charlie happy" Jacob answered and continued his game with Nessie, the bond between Jacob and Edward was incredible they became best friends Edward considered Jacob as a son he would never say it to Jacob because Jacob would kidding around and start calling him dad and he didn't like that idea. They even went hunting together even with Emmett and Jasper they all had good bond like brothers.

"That what I was just thinking" I heard Edward say breaking me out of my thoughts then Jacob stood up.

"Bella me and Jacob are going hunting" well at least I could spend time with Nessie while they were gone.

"Sure you guys have fun" Edward gave me a kiss and Jacob was telling Nessie he wouldn't be long and they both left. The house was empty Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett where away on safari and due back on Friday and Alice and Jasper where upstairs planning Charlie birthday. I felt these two arms wrap round my waist it was Nessie she had grown a lot in last seven months she was pass my waist now her hair was still long to her waist long brown locks with bronze tones just like Edward and those gorgeous eyes of hers

"Momma can we do something special for grandpa birthday" I looked down at her I didn't have a clue what she wanted to do for him.

"What would you like to do?" I asked her curiously.

"Momma could you sing grandpa a song" she loved it when I sung there would be days when she wanted me to sing all day to her she would dance around the room while I sung entertaining everyone.

"Ok that sounds good I have something would like to hear it?" I asked her little face lit up.

"Yes momma" I walked over to the piano and began to play a melody then all of sudden Nessie began to sing her voice was beautiful far better than mine I stopped playing.

"Nessie you have a beautiful voice" I was honestly stunned to hear her voice.

"Thank you momma but yours so much prettier" I gave her kiss on the forehead.

"You really are very special girl" she looked up into my eyes.

"Momma could me and you sing a song to grandpa to surprise him" I smiled at her, her angelic face was mesmerising "I would like to surprise grandpa and everyone" I smiled well she wouldn't be able to get it pass Edward with him able to read her thoughts.

"Nessie I don't think your daddy going to be surprised" she smiled.

"I just won't think about it momma I want daddy to hear us both sing together I want to surprise him too and Jacob too" she was really excited.

"Okay Nessie but you know Alice will know" then we both heard Alice from upstairs

"Jasper and I won't say a word or shall I say we won't think about it either" Renesmee and I began to laugh

"so momma?" I mean it was a sweet idea and I'm sure Charlie going to love it.

"of course I think your grandpa is going to love it" we spent most of the afternoon playing the melody Nessie was trying all different instruments and adding them in she very talented she picked up on all instruments she played piano, harp, violin, drums which Jacob loved we had the melody done and Nessie got the recorder and we played the tune ready for Saturday all that was needed was the words and she knew that where my talent was. We had just finished in time Edward and Jacob walked through the door they both looked at us like we had a guilty face

"Is everything ok" Edward asked Renesmee ran to him.

"Daddy" she wrapped her arms around him "I missed you" he looked at her and smiled lovingly.

"I missed you too" he tilted his head to one side, dam he read her thoughts he knew what we were planning he smiled "so you beat your mother at chess again Nessie" she smiled I felt at ease now.

"Yeah I wonder where she got that gift from being so good at it" I added to distracted Edward from reading her any further then Nessie began to screamed

"Jacob" she ran into his arms and he hugged her Edward was by my side

"Did you have fun?" he asked a little intrigued.

"Yes me and Nessie had a great afternoon" he smiled and gave me a kiss.

We hardly saw Alice over the two day she was in and out of the house or on the phone arranging the party I had written the song and me and Nessie would go for walks to practise and she was really good keeping this away from Edward her voice was something I never heard before when I would watch her sing sometime I felt I was looking at myself when I was a kid. It didn't take long for Nessie to learn the words none ever question why me and Nessie were gone for so long.

Friday they all came home and Nessie was so happy to see them all Saturday morning Charlie picked up Edward and Jacob and they went fishing Alice never told us where the party was going to be held but she was gone with Jasper as soon as Charlie picked him up we were all confused it was mid-morning and Alice came back to the house everyone was doing their own thing me and Nessie were reading a book then we heard Alice

"Everyone I would like you all to follow me please" I looked up she couldn't of had it all done could she?

"Alice is Charlie party all done" she gave me the are you for real look, of course she had it all done this is Alice we are talking about.

"please can you all come" I picked up Renesmee and put her on my back and she held on tight we rushed through the forest following Alice we stopped and we were outside Charlie house there where thousands of twinkling lights over the trees in the garden a large canopy with different foods the smell was amazing at one end of the garden there was a pond it never had been there before it was very large it even had a bridge going over lily pads and frogs nearby and there was a big red bow in the middle of the bridge

"Alice" I was completely stunned I couldn't believe that she done this for Charlie.

"I know Charlie going to love it" she beamed I walked over with Renesmee in this large pond there was fish's it was beautiful

"How are you going to explain to Charlie how quick this was done?" he would ask that question I know what my dad like.

"Oh Bella haven't you ever seen those shows when they transform a house in few hours" she was raising her eyebrow she had a point.

"Alice he going to love it" I looked back over at the large pond he going to totally freak about this can't wait to see his face.

"I know" Alice replied all exited then we heard cars pulling up and it was all our family from La plush Sam with Emily Sue with boxes of food in her hand Seth be hide her hold more boxes and Leah

"Alice this looks amazing" sue said while looking around the garden it did look pretty amazing I had to admit/

"Thank you" Alice was in her element right now with all the compliment about the way it was all laid out.

The garden was filling up with friends and family everyone was admiring the pond and they were told it was a gift from all of us to one side there was a table with presents all different shapes and sizes I kind of guess half of them were fishing gear. Alice pulled out her phone and dialled so fast all I heard was

"Yes it's time" and she put the phone down "right they are going to be here in ten minutes" she announced Emmett and Carlisle were at the huge BQ cooking the meat it looked strange watching them cooking like that the treaty between the vampire and werewolves were stronger than ever they all lived in peace but there was still the in between them but as long as permission was ask it was fine after what happen seven months ago it was united family all because of one little girl.

I was looking to see where Nessie was and she was playing with Leah. Leah had grown attached to Renesmee she still wasn't fond of the rest of the Cullen's but she loved Renesmee and I knew Leah would always protect her. We heard a car pull up and doors closing all we heard was Jacob

"Charlie C'mon" all three of them walked round to the side of the house where they could smell the BQ meat cooking Charlie face was shocked everyone all said at the same time

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" his face looked overwhelmed Edward and Jacob were smiling he walked towards us.

"Alice this is amazing" Charlie said while looking around Alice smiled like Cheshire cat.

"Well maybe you can trust me now" he smiled he was greeted by everyone wishing happy returns. Edward walked over to me and gave me a kiss.

"Well Alice out done herself here" I looked around he was right Alice had really pulled it off it weren't fancy but it was the kind of party Charlie would love.

"Yes she really did" he pulled me closer to him "so how was fishing?" he started to laugh "was it that bad?" it couldn't of been that bad could it?

"No Bella it was fun Charlie takes it very seriously!" then Jacob came in view chuckling.

"Yeah he sure does I weren't even aloud to talk...apparently I scared the fish away" I laughed Charlie did take fishing really serious when he took me as a kid I had to stay quite most of the time.

"So how many did you catch?" I questioned them both they both looked at each other

"None" they both responded I looked at them confused.

"Really" it was hard to believe they went all that way and caught nothing Charlie used to come home with dozen of fish's that he caught.

"Yes Charlie seems to think because of Jacob being a wolf he was scaring the fish away" Edward explained u couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hey Bella it's not funny" Jacob looked a little hurt but Charlie would come out with something like that.

"I'm sorry Jacob not one fish then?" I was trying to hold my laughter in but doing a terrible job at it.

"Nope" Then we all started to laugh it was actually comical thinking about it.

"So you weren't bored then?" I asked I mean sitting in silence no fish biting the bate.

"Well Jacob kept me entertained when we were in silence the thought Jacob was having were keeping my amused" Edward chuckled lightly I bet Jacob thoughts included a lot of cursing.

"Hey at least I was keeping you amused" Jacob replied sarcastically well he had a point Edward had Jacob mind to keep him busy "Bella where Nessie?"

"oh she with Leah" I liked the fact that Leah and Nessie got on, Nessie really looked up to her.

"Ok cool catch you guys later" he jogged off to where Renesmee was then we heard Alice.

"Present time" she announced Charlie wasn't present man but when Alice finally showed him the pond he was amazed he loved it and thanked every member of the Cullen family and he gave me big hug.

"Bella you guys didn't have to do this" he seemed a little emotional about it.

"Dad it something you always wanted" he smiled and gave me a kiss. He was opening all his present and I was right major part of them were fishing gear but that was the safest option with Charlie. There was a wooden dance floor where most people were dancing and everyone seem to be enjoying themselves, Alice came over

"Bella I think it's time" she smiled Edward looked a little confused.

"What the matter?" he looked at me still with a puzzled expression.

"We'll all Alice kept saying in her mind was lalalala" I laughed and I walked over to where the sound system was before he could ask me any questions I didn't like lying to Edward and Alice gave me the mic I switched it on.

"hello everyone" then everyone looked over "I would just like to say thank you all so much for coming to celebrate my dad birthday" there was a huge cheer "dad you never celebrated you birthday like this before and I'm so glad you did we are all here because of you because dad your one special guy, I can see your loved by all your presents but there just one more gift we would like to give you" then Alice put the music on Charlie face was beaming he knew that I was going to sing for him but he wasn't expecting my little surprise so I began to sing.

Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear..In our hearts, a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long Before we knew we could...oh yes
I could see everyone's faces watching and Nessie moved towards the front hiding her mic watch it was under her cardigan Charlie looking proud as ever Edward watching me with love and affection my voice to him took him into a to dream land he once told me
There can be miracles when you believe Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
then everyone heard a different voice it sounded like soprano angelic voice and Nessie walked towards me and began to sing I smiled at her every single person was shock apart from Alice as she knew all about this
Oh yeah, in this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain Hope seems like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here My heart so full I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'll say...
they were all in shock it wasn't something they expected all their faces couldn't believe the voice on this little seven year old girl sounded like a grown woman both Jacob and Edward faces where totally in shocked "did you know about his?" "didn't have a clue Nessie must of kept her mind busy on other things so I didn't find out" "Wow two angels singing" as they watched me and Nessie sing Charlie had tears rolling down his face
There can be miracles when you believe (when you believe)Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve(you can achieve) When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe
everyone was clapping and cheering Nessie was looking at me and smiling
They don't always happen when you ask And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice Says hope is very near, oh
I kneel down to Nessie as we sang last lines and we both looking into each other eyes while we sung
There can be miracles when you believe (when you believe)Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve(you can achieve) When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe...
You will when you You will when you believe
Just believe I believe, I believe
Just believe You will when you believe

There was a loud applause and cheering Charlie was standing there with tears streaming from his eyes I picked up Renesmee and she hugged me

"Momma we done it" she was smiling so much I walked over to Charlie still holding her with my free hand I wipe his tears.

"Bella, Nessie..." he could hardly speak it really choked him up see us do that.

"Grandpa me and momma wanted to do something special for you" he reached out and she went straight into his arms.

"Nessie that was beautiful what you and your mom sung you have your mom talent" with her small hands she was wiping his tears.

"Grandpa don't cry" he smiled Nessie thought that he was upset but they were tears of joy he was happy.

"I'm crying because I'm happy baby" she hugged him really tight "Hey kid come and give old dad a hug" both me and Renesmee hugged him.

"Errm" I turned to look and so did Renesmee it was Jacob and Edward standing side by side Jacob with his arms cross over his chest and strange expression like anger but trying to hold a smile at the same time and Edward was trying to fight a smiled.

"So when did you both conspire this?" Edward asked in a firm tone while trying to fight a smile.

"Daddy it was my idea I'm so sorry to kept it from you but I wanted to surprise grandpa and you daddy and my Jacob too don't be angry at momma" she was speaking so fast Edward had a full on smile so did Jacob.

"Renesmee you and your mother sang that beautifully I'm extremely proud of the both of you" she smiled and reached out for Edward and Charlie passed her over.

"You really liked it daddy?" she asked looking into his eyes Edward couldn't stop grinning.

"Yes I really did seeing my two angels singing like that really took my breath away" she was smiling so much she whispered in his ear.

"Daddy I'm very sorry I was hiding this from you in my mind" he looked into her eyes.

"You have nothing to be sorry about" she put her hand on his face and she was showing him me and her practising in the woods "I see" and he kiss her on the forehead she screamed "Jacob" and threw herself into his arms he just caught her Jacob seemed to still be in shock after hearing Nessie "Jacob?" she called out again.

"Nessie your amazing just like your mom" he spoke in broken words

"Sorry guys I'm just going to see to the other guest" Charlie walked away he really looked like he was having fun and I was happy to see him smiling.

"Ok dad" I called out while he walked away Edward wrapped his arms around me

"Well it seems our daughter has beautiful singing voice like her mother how long has this been going on?" he smiled well technically not that long.

"I only found out two days ago I was playing the piano and she burst into song" Renesmee was laughing tucking her head under Jacob chin

"a very talented little girl we have" he spoke proudly of his daughter I'm mean we were both proud of her she was our little girl.

"yeah we sure do" I heard a car pull up and the scent wasn't of anyone I knew "could you excuse me" Edward looked at me confused and I walked off to the front of the house there was a fancy silver Lexus and a girl step out of it her hair was long to her waist brown with lose curls she turned to me her skin was tan with perfect complexion her eyes were brown and beautiful she looked familiar "excuse me can I help" she looked at me a little startled.

"I'm sorry I'm looking for Charlie Swan" her voice was soft but she sounded a little nervous at the same time.

"sure come with me I'll show you where he is" she locked the car and walked towards me she was 5'4 petite same frame as myself.

"I'm so sorry I didn't know you were having a party maybe I should come back some other time" she began to take a few steps back.

"No it's fine how do you know Charlie?" I questioned her then face pull strange expression

"My mother and Charlie went to high school together I was told they were best friends" wow Charlie would be happy to meet an old school friend kid.

"Aww Charlie will be really pleased to see you" she gave me a weak smile.

"Well I hope so" We began to walk through the crowed heads were turning looking at this new girl I could see Edward, he had very strange expression on his face we came up to where Charlie was.

"Dad" I notice the expression on this girls face seem shocked when I called Charlie dad, he turned around and smiled

"Hey Bella what the matter honey" I think Charlie had one too many beers already.

"Dad this is...sorry I didn't get your name" I asked as I turned to her she kept biting her bottom lip a sign of being nervous.

"Hello Charlie my name is Elena you and my mother went to high school together her name was Katherine Salvatore" Charlie looked confused for moment then a smile came onto his face.

"Aww yes Katherine how is she doing these days your mother was a stunner I can see you got a lot of your beauty from her" her face looked disappointed I didn't know what this Elena girl problem was but she seem a little too upset

"A lot of people say I' got a lot of my feature from my father...my mother passed away a few weeks back" Charlie face sadden now I understood why she was coming across the way she was now.

"Oh Elena I'm so sorry to hear that" she gave him a half smile I felt a little awkward being here now after hearing her mom died.

"I'm going to leave you both to talk" and I walked away while they spoke and walked over to Edward he wrapped his arms around me.

"So who is the unexpected guest?" Edward questioned me while looking over at Charlie and Elena.

"That's Elena Salvatore... but I thought you would of known that?" he was staring at her like he was trying to concentrate.

"Edward is everything ok?" he looked at me confused what was wrong with him?

"I can't hear anything from her" I looked at him then over at Elena and Charlie seem in very engross conversation, "Bella you are the only person who's thoughts I couldn't never hear and now this Elena Salvatore..." he trailed off in thought Alice came over.

"Who's the new girl?" Alice didn't even know what was going on maybe cause of the wolves being here there a unexpected guest here Alice was clueless too I looked over she was tilting her head "hold on a second I can't see a thing here with the wolves and Renesmee I'll be right back and she shot off" Edward was still standing there looking at her trying to focus her thoughts Jacob walked over.

"guys is everything ok?" I looked at Jacob then back over that Charlie and Elena "who's the Carmel latte talking to Charlie?" I turned him and raised one of my eye brow I didn't like the way her referred to as that.

"Elena she is a daughter of one of his high school friends" I explained to him he nodded his head.

"aww right" my focus went back over to Edward he stood there looking intensely at Elena.

"Edward?" he looked at me totally dazed "are you ok?" he looked a little annoyed in a way and frustrated too.

"Bella I'm getting nothing from her at all it same as with you" ok that weird cause Edward can red pretty much everyone mind apart from mine and now Elena turns up and he can't read hers?

"That's strange isn't it" Jacob spoke we all looked over and Charlie face was in shock it happen in less than a second it went from his rosy red to pale white Elena looked frightened she had her hands over her face looked like she was crying "Oh no" Edward moved fast then all of a sudden Charlie collapse and Edward caught him in time.
