We ran back to the house, laughing the entire way. I easily beat him across the river and turned back to him smiling. "You, sir, are not very good at races," I said to him with a laugh.

He looked at me and smiled, "Just wait until we play baseball again. Then you will see who is better at running." I laughed at him and he looked at me obviously confused at my laughter.

"So vampires do play baseball? Do you turn into bats too," I asked laughing harder. He shook his head and walked toward the back of the house. "Aw, come on," I said following him. "You know that was funny." He just shook his head in front of me so I ran around him and blocked him from entering the door. I put on my best pouty face and said, "I'm sorry." He laughed at me and kissed me lightly.

"I have a surprise for you," Edward said to me as we walked through the house. I hadn't seen the full place yet, so I didn't realize how big it was, but somehow it seemed bigger. Suddenly it felt different. Like it had changed while we were out hunting, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. It seemed like there was more space, like there was a change in how the furniture was arranged, but when I asked Edward he said that it was the exact same from when they had left. I still couldn't shake that feeling though.

I followed him up the steps and smiled as he talked about each part of the house as if it was a museum. Like a really old museum that was never open to public and was so private that the only people who saw it were forced to forget everything. He got to his room which I entered and looked around the place. I was thinking since we were together that I was going to be staying in here, but when I sat down on the huge golden covered bed in the center of the room he asked me to stand up. "What is it," I asked him with a slight pout on my face.

"Your surprise first," Edward replied with a smile on his face. Oh gosh, that smile could take my breath away still and I no longer needed the air to survive.

"What is it," I asked him smiling widely. I hated surprises, but it wasn't like he could know that. He barely even knew me. He wasn't like Jacob he didn't know my every thought as it crossed my face. Jacob, I wondered what had happened to him. Did Alice kill him? Could she have? I jumped when I heard Edward clear his throat and I got up blushing. "I'm sorry. So where are we headed?"

"Just follow me," Edward said with a smile. I secretly wanted to punch him. I hate surprises. They make me so freaking mad. I mean, why don't they just tell me what it is? It's annoying. I kept saying this as I followed him until we reached the next door after his room. He opened the door and all of my thoughts just stopped. I stepped into the room and looked around surprised. Ha! Surprise! The place was beautiful. I mean I never really had a room that I like to be in. My mom painted my room pink when I was little…I hate pink, but then my dad left my walls plain white and got purple blankets for my bed. Purple was okay, but it didn't compare to the color that was in this room. It was the perfect shade of sky blue. It was like I was walking into the sky itself. There were all the colors that belonged. There was sky blue, white, yellow, and the slightest bit of gold around the room and then the wall across from me was a complete glass window.

"Is this for me?" I asked turning to look at him. He nodded and I smiled. I couldn't believe that someone spent their time creating a room like this. I wasn't worth this much work and effort. I mean why would they want to do this for me? I wasn't anything important to their family. I thought I would just go back and live in my father's house until I graduated and then go somewhere far away. "Who did this?" I asked turning to him.

"Esme and Alice did this while you were changing…and they added the final touches while we were hunting. Alice went back to your house and got all of your books and the bookshelf from your room and I think…well I hope that she got your clothes and didn't buy you a whole new wardrobe," he said with a slight chuckle at the end.

"Wait, you knew about this?" I asked while the realization finally hit me. He laughed at me and nodded. "You should have told me! I can't stand surprises."

"You seem to like this one though," Edward said smiling innocently.

"Oh, shut up. That is not the point here," I said trying not to laugh at myself. I walked over to the book case and looked over the books. It did have all of my books, but there was one that was wrapped up and sitting on top of a row of them. I looked over at him. "Did they do this as well?" I asked and he shrugged.

"I don't think they did," he said honestly. I frowned and sat down on a chair that was hanging from the ceiling and opened it slowly. It was an autographed copy of the book Wuthering Heights. I opened the book and looked at the back of the front cover. There was a small object taped there and underneath was cursive writing. I pulled the object out of the tape and saw that it was a ring with the breast cancer symbol on it. I smiled and went down to the writing. It read: "Bella, I wanted to make your birthday this year special. I know how much your mother meant to you and I am so sorry about the nightmares that you have about her. She loved you very much and I do too. I know this is your favorite book and your old copy was getting beaten up. The money for this ring was given for breast cancer relief. I hope you like it and I hope you enjoy this book. I love you, Dad."

There were tears streaming down my face as I saw that he actually wrote that he loved me. My father never expressed his emotions. Wait…his funeral. "Edward? Did I miss my father's funeral?" Edward didn't answer. He just stood there looking out my window. "Edward, answer me! EDWARD!"

I wrote more than I usually do! Be shocked and amazed! Haha! I do know that vampires do not cry in twilight, but I'm going to say that they do in my story. Just be happy that I didn't make it tears of blood. =) -Rachael
