Chapter 7:

Edward, Nessie, and I walked at a human pace to our cottage. Renesmee was half asleep in Edward's arms. We both smiled hugely at her.

"Edward, do you think I should wait a little longer to go to college?" I asked, curious to hear what her thought.

"Love, I'll do whatever you think is right. Just remember, you are a great vampire. You're better than vampires that are decades old!" he said that to me a lot. I felt kind of embarrassed when everyone talked about how well tempered I was.

"We both should have a clear mind for tomorrow. Wouldn't want to spoil my nudger's big day!" I said, trying to cheer up.

We both laughed and I kissed him. As we walked up to our cottage, every time I walked up to it, I thought how cute it was, small and nestled into the woods. I appreciated it so much.

Edward and I settled Nessie into her bed and we headed to our room. We both lay on our bed thinking.

"It kills me to not know what you're thinking. Have I mentioned that?" he asked me. I laughed.

"Just about 2,153 times!" I laughed again.

"Have you been counting?" he asked joking.

"Why, yes I have, well since I was a vampire, I don't know how many times you told me when I was human," I told him honestly.

"I thought you just came up with that number!" he exclaimed, laughing his butt off.

I kissed him and that ended our conversation…

"Nessie's coming," Edward said as we both quickly got up and changed.

"Good morning daddy!" Nessie exclaimed as she jumped into his arms.

"Happy birthday honey!" we both yelled at the same time.

She squirmed out of Edward's arms and to mine.

"Thank you. What are we going to do for my birthday?" she asked. Everyday I though about how much she was like Alice. She was a party animal-even though she was young- loved shopping, clothes, shoes, purses, and fashion.

"Well, first, we're going to go to the main house and tell everyone good morning. And then the three of us can do something together!" I explained to her as I glanced up at Edward. He nodded when Nessie wasn't looking.

She put her hand to my cheek and showed her and Jacob hunting together.

"Okay, I'll call Jake and tell him to come here," I answered her thought.

"Come on, can you help me look pretty for my special day?" she asked me, excited.

"Well that comes naturally to you, but I'll try to make you look prettier if that's even possible," I let her know. I wanted to give her whatever she wanted on her special day.

Normally I would let her wear the clothes she picked out on a day like this, but she took advantage of it being her birthday.

"Mommy, can I wear this?" she asked, turning towards me in a mini skirt with a tank top and some boots. She had a hat on and she twirled and looked at me for my approval.

"Come on, it's my birthday!" she jutted out her bottom lip and looked at me in the eyes with her big chocolate brown eyes.

"Uhh, fine go ahead, only because it's your birthday. I can't believe Aunt Rose would buy that for you!" I said exasperated. I would talk to Rosalie about that later, but I didn't want to ruin Nessie's special day.

Even though her hair beautiful just down her back she wanted me to French braid it.

"Why don't you take a bath first and then I'll do your hair," I suggested.

"Okay, thank you mommy!" she seemed happy enough, which made me happy.

"Do you need help?" I asked as she was about to get into the tub.

"No thank you, I'm a big girl now," she stated in her small little voice. I smiled at her and sat down on the toilet. Just in case something happened to her. She didn't seem to mind, maybe she felt safer with me near her.

After she was done, I quickly did her hair. Immediately she got dressed and was bouncing around with excitement.

Jacob arrived and Nessie ran right into his arms as soon as he held them out.

"JJ!" she yelled as she hugged him.

"Hey, squirt!" he greeted her.

"Don't I look pretty?" she squirmed out of his arms and twirled in front of him, waiting for his approval.

"Of course you do, you always do!" he pointed out. Edward and I growled at him, where only he could hear.

"Jacob, can you take her hunting, we'll meet you at the house?" Edward asked.

Jacob nodded and then Edward did, probably answering a question in his mind.

"Be careful, I don't want you to ruin your pretty outfit," I added as the four of us walked out the door.

"Jacob, you hunt it for her, and she'll drink it," Edward said. He still didn't want her hunting her own meal without one of us around.

"Okay daddy, see you soon. Love you!" she yelled towards both of us. We waited to leave until Jacob came back as a wolf. Edward helped her on his back, then we ran for the house ahead of them.

"How is everything?" I asked as I walked in.

When I saw the room, that answered my question.

"Wow!" was all I could say.

"Is it okay?" Alice asked, nervous for my answer.

"Okay? Alice, it's amazing! Thank you so much, it will mean so much to her!" I said as I hugged my sister.

"I'm so glad you like it. I spent forever working on it last night. I just wanted it to look perfect for my only niece!" she said, proud of herself for making us love it.

"Thank you Alice," Edward told her and he hugged her too.

The room was completely changed into a club. There was a DJ booth where the piano usually went, and the piano was moved to the dining room. Streamers were hanging from the ceiling and there was a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. All the shutters were shut to make it look dark and the lights reflected off all our skin strangely. There was a table covered with food, drinks, and a huge cake that Esme made.

The packs, Charlie, Sue, Billy, and the rest of the Cullens were sitting around the room, discussing where to hide.

My cell phone rang a few minutes later and It was Jacob. He was warning us that they were coming.

"They're coming," I warned them also. I knew they could hear but we had to keep up the human charade for Charlie.

As soon as they walked through the door, we all jumped out and yelled, "SURPRISE!"

Immediately, the biggest smile got on her face and she ran for me Edward and Alice.

She was so happy that if I could cry, I would!
