Chapter 9

Birthday Party

It's been about five days since we got back from Derek's parents funeral. We've been trying to cheer him up he's happier but he'll never be the same again. Even Rose can't seem to cheer him up to the old Derek. And now on with other news Sam will not talk to me until I break up with Emmett. So in simple terms we'll never talk again. My birthday's tomorrow I turn 18. And then next week school starts and that just sucks.

I woke up in Emmett's icy, strong arms as I usually do but I love that guy. He smiled down at me and kissed me sweetly.

"Be ready this evening since the wolves are having a party for you tomorrow we're throwing you a party tonight." I groaned

"Emmett I don't want a party it makes me feel really old."

"You're only 18 you're not old I mean come on I'm 95, and Edward's a hell of a lot older." he said chuckling

"Emmett how old were you when you were changed."

"I was 20."

"How were you changed I mean like why if you don't mind me asking."

"Ohh course I don't mind I'll never keep anything form you, I was born in 1915 since I know you don't feel like doing the math. In 1935 I was taking a walk in the woods bright idea I know. When all of a sudden this bear came out and attacked me. I was dieing I knew it. But then Rose came she was out hunting she smelled the blood and went to find out what it was. When she found me she ran me all the way back to Carlisle. From there I became a vampire." he explained

"Emmett I had no idea wow."

"You'll have to ask the other's for there stories like Edward told Bella when she was human I have no right to tell the other's stories." I nodded understanding

"Now come on and get dressed I promised I have you, and Derek there by 12." I nodded

I went into the bathroom and took a shower. After my shower I wrapped a towel around me, I didn't care if Emmett saw I walked in my closet. I dressed in a pair of part wash shorts, and a white tank top that had pink, and black kisses all over it. I slipped on my black flip-flops and walked out to Emmett.

"Alrite hop on Rose has already taken Derek to the house."

I hoped up on Emmett's back and wrapped my hands around his neck. His arms went under my legs, and he ran out the balcony doors.

"You know when Bella was human Edward used to always carry her this way, and I always made so much fun of him." I laughed.

We were at the house now so Emmett let me down. Nessie was standing in the doorway. When she saw me she ran straight at me, and hugged me.

"Happy early birthday Trace." she yelled while squeezing me.

"Nessie……can't……….breath." I managed to get out.

"Oh sorry." she said letting go. I fell to the ground, Emmett pulled me back up.

"Come on Trace, you have to eat cake, and open your presents." Nessie said dragging me to the house.

"Wait Emmett you didn't say nothing about that." I said

"You never asked." came his reply.

I sighed and Nessie dragged me through the front door into the living room. When I got there I saw silver, and blue streamers, balloons, confetti, etc.

"Happy early birthday Tracy." everyone yelled when I walked in.

"Thanks everyone but you didn't have to."

"We wanted to the last birthday we celebrated was Bella's a few years ago, but that didn't end well, please tell me you aren't a klutz, and or danger magnet like Bella was." Alice said.

"Nope I have Black family blood in me we're not danger prone, or klutz's, but we are load mouths." I said

"Damn straight." Jake said coming over and high fiving me.

"Ok come time to feed the human's, and wolf." Alice said pushing me to the table that had a huge chocolate cake on it.

"We figured since you and Jake are related that you would like chocolate like him." I nodded my head, and they sang, and I blew my candles out.

The few of us that could eat did. Jake decided to shove some of the cake in my face, which ended with him getting cake back in his face. After we were done eating, and cleaned up. Alice pulled me over to the couch, and handed me a present.

"That's from me , and Jasper open it, open it." Alice said.

I tore off the dark blue bow, and ribbon. Emmett stuck the bow on my head. I tore off the silver wrapping paper off the huge box. I opened the box and in it was a new skateboard that had the Cullen crest on it. And the grip tape was lime green.

"Wow thanks guys I love it."

"We knew you would." Alice said.

"Ok next is mine, and Edwards." Bella said handing me a small box.

I opened it and in it was two dog tags. On one of the dog tag's the Cullen crest was engraved. And on the other one it read TRB+EMC=Forever.

"That's a math problem even Emmett can solve" Edward said Emmett gave him a look.

"Aww thanks guys even though it's very ironic."

"Hey what can I say Jake has a pair too." I looked over at Jake and he held them up.

"Here you go sweetie this is from Carlisle, and me." Esme said handing me a small box.

I opened and in it was two tickets to see Shinedown, and back stage passes.

"Ohh my God thank you I love this band."

"It was nothing sweetie."

"Ok, ok here's mine, and Derek's present." Rose said tossing me another small box.

I opened it, and in it was a $300 gist card to Hot Topic.

"Ohh my God thanks' you two.

"Derek was the one that told me you like that store." I nodded my head.

"Yeah get mine, and Nessie's present tomorrow at the Bonfire Trace." Jake said

"Which leaves mine now." Emmett said pulling out a small velvet box out of his pocket.

I popped open the box, and in it was a blue diamond necklace on a silver chain.

"Wow Emmett it's beautiful."

"Not as much as you." he murmured in my ear.

"Ok enough love birds." Edward said annoyed

"ohh go away Eddie boy maybe you, and Bella will break your house this time." Emmett said

"Emmett you said no more jokes since I beat you in arm wrestling." Bella said

"Yeah well you had newborn strength so you cheated never when." Emmett said.

"Uhh Emmett cheaters always win till they get caught." I said (Quote from my best friends Dakota, and Briar.)

"OK, ok well come on almost birthday girl time to go home." Emmett said putting all my stuff in my skateboard box.

"Aww but Emmett." I whined.

"No buts come on." I sighed and jumped on his back, and he grabbed the box.

"Emmett you made fun of me, and Bella." Edward said

"Shut up."

"Thanks everyone for everything." I said they all nodded, and Emmett took off.

We made back to the house mom's car was gone.

"Remind me to close my eye's next." I said holding my head.

"ohh I'm sorry come on I'll carry you." He picked me up and ran up to my room I closed my eye's this time.

Emmett sat me down. And sat my box down on the table while I got undizzy. I laid down on my bed, and Emmett laid down next to me. He kissed me sweetly I kissed back. Then his kiss started getting rougher as did mine. He rolled over to where he was on top of me. He supported his weight so he didn't flatten me. His tongue found it's was in my mouth. Our tongues went in a war which he won. Then all of a sudden he jumped off of me and sat on the opposite side of the room.

"I can't Tracy I can't do it." he said

"Emmett it's ok I was fine with it."

"No Tracy I can't control myself I'll have sex with you when you're a vampire, and or werewolf and only then. I'd hurt you I know I would I wouldn't be able to control myself."

"I trust you Emmett." I said getting up and walking over to him.

"I trust you Emmett you'd never hurt me I know you." I said holding his face in my hands to where he stared into my eyes.

"We might try but not now I haven't hunted in about a week."

I kissed him sweetly. "That's all I ask for Emmett I love you."

"I love you too my little Tracy."
