Jacob POV
It was the Noah and William's birthday and we were having a party. Alice went all out, we had bouncy houses, horses, clowns, and candy and chocolate buffet table. My boys were already energetic but, today I haven't seen them so crazy. I had our house on high protection and I hadn't told Anna about the situation. Only because I knew she would over react, not because they want her but, because the kids and I were in danger. Though I did tell her I resumed position of alpha because the pack were un organized.
"Dada I'm one!" Noah screamed in Esme's arms on the top of the stairs holding up one finger. I smiled at him and took him in my arms. He was in a blue and yellow plaid button up with a hoodie and khaki pants.
"That's right. Daddy little wolf boy is one" I said smiling. He pulled up he's sleeves and showed me his muscles.
"I a wolf like daddy!" He shouted growling. I laughed at him. My kids were all introduced to my wolf form. But, we also had to explain it was a secret. I went to the back and gave him to Jasper who was in charge of the bouncy house. I stood there for a while staring at the woods around us. I was always on high alert, ready for someone to just try and attack.
"Hey honey" Anna said wrapping her arms around my torso.
"Why are you staring in the woods?" She asked. I out on of my arms on her shoulder and sighed. I wanted to tell her so bad. I hated lying to her. I was going to come up with an excuse when Willy called me over.
"Daddy I wants candy" He said tugging my shorts and pointing to the table. I picked him up in one hand and started placing candy on the plate as he directed.
"And the chocolate ones, and the gummies. NO! Not the sour daddy!" he screamed. I took the plate and sat on a chair with him on my lap. I gave him the plate and was just enjoying what was around me.
Ashlyn and Farrah, Paul and Rachel's daughter, were jumping hand in hand in the bouncy house. Noah was explaining to Edward and Carlisle that he was a big boy because he was one, Anna was talking to Ellie and Alice about future children, which mad me smile. Quil, Colin, Jared, and Paul were patrolling so they couldn't be here. That's when Willy slapped me out of my day dream,
"Daddy I said I want to see Uncle Emmett and the clown!" he screamed at me. His black hair was covering his face. I laughed,
"Okay after Granny Esme ties your hair back" I said handing him off to Esme. I went over to the sand box where Noah was wailing and kicking in Rachel's arms.
"He got sand in his eyes and won't let me clean" Rach said handing him to me. I pulled his hands off he's eyes where he kept rubbing.
"Come on bud, let me help." I said placing in on the kitchen counter. I was washing his eyes out when I heard a howl. I placed Noah on the floor and ran outside.
"Edward, Bella, Alice! Come with me!" I yelled running into the forest.
"We have a trail." Jared yelled into my head. We started running full speed.
Anna POV
It's been almost an hour and a half since Jake ran into the forest leaving Noah in the kitchen alone. I quickly ran to my baby,
"Mama my eyes hurt!" Noah cried. I pulled he's hands away from his eyes to see them red and covered in sand. I started washing them with water and a paper towel,
"Carlisle, Noah's eyes aren't looking to good" I whispered knowing he could hear me. In a second he was there pushing my hand away gently.
"Grandpa my eyes hurt" Noah cried, he's face getting red. Why hadn't Jake taken care if this? What was so important? I walked outside to find no one had returned.
"Jazz what's going on? Where did they go?" I asked getting worried. I was feeling calmer faster. I knew it was the work of Jasper.
"Wish I knew. But, how about you join me in this bouncy house for a little care free fun?" He asked. I smiled and tool of my heels and him his boots. He held out his hand.
"Maim?" He said with the cute Sothern accent. That was my best friend Jazz. Always finding a way to make me have fun. I was jumping around with Jasper, Willy, Ellie's kids, and Sam's son Johnny when Noah walked out looking better holding Carlisle's hand. I walked out and picked Noah up inspecting him. His eyes were much better but, his hair was tied back. Noah's hair was never pulled back because it was curly.
"We need to keep his eyes clear for a while. I flushed out his eyes and gave him some eye drops" Carlisle explained. I thanked him and told Noah to stay away from the sand box. We had fun for about 2 more hours till the kids started to get tired and dirty. I guess we had to cut the cake without him. Emmett walked out with a truck cake that said "Noah and William Wolf. #1". Alice sure did do a good job, to bad she wasn't here. We sang happy birthday, ate and everyone went home. I put my tired boys in the bath while Ashlyn was watching TV.
"My boys have fun?" I asked shampooing there head. They both nodded tiredly. I dried them off and put them to bed. I was in the middle of washing Ashlyn when Jake walked in.
"Hi babe." He said sounding almost frustrated.
"Hi" I said coldly not looking at him.
Jacob POV
We chased them to the middle of Idaho till we lost them. Shit! They were sneaky. Edward couldn't even get there plan out before we lost them, and that was 2 hours later. And to make it worse I missed my kid's birthday. Now Anna was giving me the cold shoulder, she had every reason too. Shit.
