(A/N) I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for the reviews, I don't care if I get 1 review or a hundred it means a lot to me, so I thank you! The Polls are closed! Bella age will skip around throughout the story! Next Chapter Bella is ten years old! I put this chapter up right after the last one because I was stupid and wrote this one before the last.

Chapter 9 Bella's POV

It's been 3 weeks since my bad shopping experience; Alice now knows why I hate shopping so much. It leads to trouble. Rose has kept her distance since that day and is only around me when necessary. Edward and I are closer than ever, he'll play any game that I want. I once asked him to play Barbie's with me and he did. I am now an official Hale/Cullen, my name is now Isabella Marie Hale. At first it was a little weird not being a Swan anymore but now it feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and a ton has been replaced. I'm not expected to be as graceful as a Swan or as pretty as a Swan anymore, but now I have to live up to being something even more difficult.

A Hale.

I have to be as beautiful as Rose, or as happy as Alice. It's horrible and I sometimes wish I was still a Swan. I already know it'll be even worse when I start school in the fall.

Today was Edward's birthday; he told me to act like it was any other day and have fun. But the truth was, I was terrified he wouldn't like my present.

"Bella, your dress in on your desk. Put it on and meet us down stairs, everyone is arriving soon!" Alice squealed.

I didn't think it was fair that I got to have a party on the same day as Edward, this was his day. It should be as important to him as a bride on her wedding day. It's not like you turn 17 everyday.

I frowned.

I wish I was seventeen; Edward and I would be so much closer. We'd go to the same school, eat in the same lunch room, and have the same friends. But no, I had to be a pathetic six year old who daydreams about her own brother. Technically, Edward wasn't my brother but he said that if anyone asks to just tell them I was so that I didn't have to explain why. I saw Edward as my friend, not a brother. I wonder if he sees me as a little sister…

"Isabella!" Alice called; I sighed and hopped down from the bed. I walked as slow as possible toward my desk with the uncomfortable dress waiting for me. "Get a move on it, Bella!"Alice called

How did she know I was going slow!

Really, it was a little weird when Alice could hear something to low for any other normal person to hear. Everyone in my family could, it was weird. All the times Edward took me on a picnic in Seattle he would never eat, claiming he already ate. But I spent most of my days with Edward and never once had I seen him eat. And how about Emmett? He picked the entire couch up and lifted it over his head looking around for his game, I mean, who does that?

I picked up the dress and stripped down to my underwear; I slide the purple dress over my head and zipped the side. I looked around for my shoes, nowhere to be seen.

"Al-"

"Your shoes are down here, Bella!" Alice called, stupid know it all.

Walking down the stairs carefully, I noticed Edward playing the piano. I smiled; Edward was a great piano player. He wrote me my own song. He played it for me every night before bed. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and tripped on the last step, I fell flat on my face.

"Ow" I said getting up and rubbing my forehead. Carlisle was by me in a second.

"Are you okay, Bella?" He asked looking at my head.

I smiled.

"I'm fine." I said pushing his hands away and blushing.

"She's lying, check to make sure she didn't hurt herself." Edward said, walking over with a worried expression.

"I'm not lying! I don't lie!" I said smacking Edwards arm playfully, he dodged it with a smug smile, I glared.

"Bella is okay. Come and get your shoes." Alice said from the door way. She was peeking out to watch for guests. I pulled my arms from Carlisle and Edward and walked over to the door where Alice was. She handed me a pair of ballet flats, to which I slipped on my feet.

"Alice, they aren't due for another," Carlisle looked down at his watch "15 minutes, let's have Edward open his presents." He finished looking up.

This time I was the one jumping up and down. Everyone came in the room after Carlisle said that, again that was strange.

"Mine first!" Emmett called, tossing Edward a small box with silver wrapping paper. Edward caught it rolling his eyes before he winked down at me. I giggled.

Edward tore the paper open in one fluid motion then opened the box, I leaned forward to look and Edward turned it down so I could see it. Inside was a new comforter and pillow. I smiled, that was a nice gift. Everyone snickered, I looked around to notice everyone with amused smiles on their faces.

That was strange; I thought it was a great gift.

"Thank you, Emmett. I love it." Edward said sarcastically.

What? I don't get it; I shrugged it off when Esme and Carlisle passed their gift over.

"Tickets to Benaroya Hall" Edward said with excitement. He walked forward and hugged Esme and Carlisle saying thank you.

"We thought maybe you'd like to take Bella with you." Esme said with a warm smile.

"Of course, if you'd like to go Bella." He said turning to me with that breathtaking grin.

"Yes." I said not even caring what a Benaroya hall was.

"Don't you even want to know what concert we'll be going to?" Edward asked with amused eyes. I blushed at being caught.

"Er, yeah I was about to ask you that." I lied.

"Bella, you can't lie to save your life." He laughed before adding "We're going to see Kurt Masur conduct Mozart and Brunkner." He said placing the tickets and his pocket and taking Alice gift next.

"It's a watch!" She said before he opened it, he stopped opening it and turned to stare at her.

"Sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't tell but I had too!" She yelled, grabbing Jaspers out of his hand and handing it to Edward. I snickered quietly as Edward sat down the watch hugging Alice.

Jasper had gotten Edward a new book on the French revolution. Rose didn't even get Edward a gift, I frowned in disappointment. It was Edward's birthday and she didn't even get her brother a present.

I held off giving Edward his gift as long as I could, I slowly handed Edward the bag that held his mountain lion. I looked down as the blush invaded my cheeks, I didn't want to see if Edwards face held disappointment in my gift.

"Look at me Bella." He said, I looked up to see that he hadn't opened the bag to look into it. He smiled reassuringly and looked down at the bag, pulling out his new mountain lion. He smiled brightly and looked down at me.

"This is great, Bella. Thank you." He said bending down to give me a hug. I smiled brightly at my accomplishment, he liked my gift! I could do back flips right now.

"It's my favorite present." He whispered in my ear. I kissed his cheek and blushed looking down.

"People are here!" Alice sang from the door. Edward picked me up so I was resting on his hip as he walked to the door to greet people.

The party was pretty boring to me, all people wanted to talk about was when we were moving and if we were going to come back. I stayed in Edward arms the entire night, refusing to let him put me down. I was beginning to get tired; Edward must have sensed that because he carried me upstairs to my room and laid me in my bed.

"You should go back to your party." I whispered as I pulled the covers up to my chin.

"A party's not a party without you." He said back with a crooked smile. I smiled at his cheesy line, and then bit my lip nervously. "Spit it out Bella." He said, I looked up and gave him a small smile.

"Will you stay again?" I asked, Edward stayed in my room every night until I feel asleep it was kind of like a tradition. Edward didn't answer he just sat back in my rocking chair and watched me as sleep began to take over.

"What the he-"

"Emmett!" Esme warned.

"Sorry," He mumbled. "Wake up Bella!" Emmett yelled in my ear.

I was startled by the sudden loud noise. I jerked up and sat back, Emmett was inches from my face.

"What?" I asked, pulling the covers back.

"Why did you and Edward ditch the party?" He asked

"I was tired, and Edward wanted to stay with me." I said looking around for him. It was morning, but really early. "Don't you ever sleep?" I asked looking at the wide awake Emmett.

"Of course silly, but only during the day" He said with a grin. My eyes scrunched together, what did that mean? Rose came in the room and slapped him upside the head.

"He's just joking Bella." Rose said with a small smile, before pulling Emmett out of my room. Edward came in my room scowling.

"What's wrong?" I asked scooting over so Edward could sit next to me, he sat down and began playing with my hair.

"Esme and Carlisle are putting off moving… again" He said with a frown.

"So when are we moving?" I asked with a little smile

"A few more weeks." He sighed, pushing my hair behind my ears before turning toward my room which was packed.

"Alaska is going to be great, Edward." I said with a smile. He turned toward me and smiled

"I know."
