Disclaimer: Best wishes and thanks to Ms. Meyer for giving us these characters. It's going to be a little out of cannon. I am for once taking authorship leeway. Also, I am in need of a Beta. Let me know.
A Father's Love
Can't Buy You Anything But Love
Edward's POV
Alice finally came up with a theme that Renesmee would really enjoy. At first, Jasper and I both wanted to nix the idea. However, there is no way to convince Alice otherwise. Although I did manage to delay Alice of her original theme idea of going with Renesmee's love of Michael Bublé and him singing the standards of Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin; which to my doing, she really enjoys. Nessie (Yes, I am guilty of using Jacob nickname. If he ever gets the notion that I agree with him; I just might have to kill him for my own sanity. The downfall: I never could live with the hurt I would cause both Bella and Nessie.) always jokes that she is either 10 years ahead or 10 years behind her music choices and the artist she enjoys. Her favorite country song, all in thanks to her uncles, is Barbra Mandrel's "I was Country when Country wasn't cool", it describes Renesmee to a tee.
The theme was centered on the sixty's, well at least the early/mid sixty's; the whole 'Rat-Pack' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' era. Alice managed to find Nessie a dress that I find age appropriate for either her being one years old or ten years old, yet still honoring Audrey Hepburn as 'Holly Go-Lightly'. Of course there was a birthday cake for Nessie, red velvet with chocolate gouache and cream cheese icing. For the most part Jacob and his merry man would be the ones enjoying it. Although Nessie does enjoy chocolate, it being one of the few human foods she enjoys. I am dreading the day that we're going to have to talk about the birds and the bees. Nessie has already started to have thoughts of Jacob in a way that was a little more than just being like her big brother.
Crap! How could I miss Renesmee blowing out the candles?
"Edward?" Jacob thought to me. "Did you catch that?"
I shook my head "NO".
"Nessie just wished she could attend school like Claire," Jacob responded silently. "I know she can't attend school in Forks. But, why not on the res? Most of us know what she is, and it wouldn't be much of a surprise."
I shrugged my shoulders, and mouthed "let's talk about it later when she is asleep."
"Present Time!" Alice shouted, shocking Jacob and I out of our silent conversation.
