"What do you mean we can't have alcohol?" Paul complained as Sam shook his head.

"I'm the only one whose twenty-one and it's irresponsible." He argued. Paul rolled his eyes and sat down on the other side of me and Jared. I was sitting between Jared's legs, leaning against his chest, eating my second turkey burger.

"I'm so stuffed." I whined leaning back to look up at him. He chuckled and placed a kiss on my temple before stuffing more food in his mouth. How he eats this much, I have no idea.

"Pst, Kim, pst." Paul muttered, leaning closer to me. "You ask Sam to let us get some booze, you're the favorite." My smile widened.

"Hey Sam, can we-"

"No."

"But you don't even-"

"No."

"I was just gonna ask if-"

"No."

I huffed and stuck my tongue out at him causing his usually serious face to be replaced by a small smirk.

"I was going to ask if we could have a wolf-wide 'Appreciate Sam Uley Day', but now I'm not so sure…" I trailed off. He rolled his eyes.

"Everyday is Sam Uley appreciation day, but I'm still not buying you any alcohol." He said, but he directed the end of his statement at Paul. Paul feigned innocence. Emily jumped up from her spot next to Sam and clapped her hands.

"Present time!" She squealed. As if Jared read my mind, he tightened his arms around me to keep my seated and keep me from running away. Traitor. I glared up at him and he leaned down, pecking my lips as if it would make everything all better. Well, incase you are wondering, it didn't make everything better…but it helped.

"How about just a couple things so she doesn't go into overload?" Jared suggested. Emily frowned slightly but nodded her head. She perked right up as she skipped over to the presents and examining them to decide which ones to bring over. Jake got up and jogged after her. I watched as he picked up a bag from the pile as Emily lifted a heavy looking box. I internally cringed and couldn't help but smile as she refused help from Jake to carry it. He reached me first and placed the bag in front of me. I reached for it slowly, eyeing him and stuck my hand into the bag to retrieve whatever my present was. I could feel a few things in the bag and pulled out a bottle-like object. I narrowed my eyes at him when I realized what it was. I pulled out two other bottles along with it.

"Finger paint? Really, Jake?" I asked. "You know this means that you have to use it with me." I told him. He nodded his head and I put them to the side. I smiled because I couldn't help it. Maybe I'll paint all over his house… I reached back into the bag and pulled out a hard, square object. I blinked a couple times as I looked at it.

"Wha-where did you get this?" I asked, looking back up at him. He was smiling triumphantly, clearly pleased with his gift.

"I found it. It's from kindergarten...I vaguely remember it being taken, but I thought you would like it." The others craned their necks trying to see what I was holding but Jared was the only one who could see.

"You know Kim, you were a cute kid." Jared muttered and I could hear the smile in his voice. It was a picture of me, Embry, Jacob, and Quil from kindergarten. Jacob was standing there with his arms crossed, smirking at the camera in satisfaction. Embry had his arm around me, smiling wide, while I was half smiling, half grimacing, looking at him out of the corner of my eye and slightly cringing away from him. Quil was leaning forward slightly and smiling huge on the other side of me. I passed the picture to Paul who was in my personal space, leaning over, trying to see the picture.

"You look like you're not sure if you want to punch or kiss Emb." He said, cracking up. I smirked as Jared tightened his arms around me. Paul passed the picture to Embry who also started laughing.

"Oh God, I actually remember this. I told Jake you had cooties and he said you probably didn't and offered me his animal crackers if I gave you a hug. You freaked out and started screaming about stranger danger. Mrs. H thought it was adorable and you know how she was always taking pictures…" He trailed off, still smiling at the picture and passing it to Quil who was sitting next to him.

"Well don't I just look great in this…" He murmured. Jared was threading his fingers through my hair and I could have just gone to sleep I was so content. "I gotta say, Kim, the pigtails are a great look for you." He teased. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"I can totally pull off the pigtails!" I scoffed. "I'm freaking adorable." I reasoned.

"More humbleness…" Jake observed. "Hey! Did you know she is hot too?" He added, winking at me.

"Yes." Jared muttered in answer to Jacob's question, though I don't think he meant to say it out loud. I leaned back to look up at him, smirking.

"Ah, I've taught him so well." I mused. He kissed my forehead and rested his chin on my shoulder. I reached into the bag and pulled out a three-musketeers bar. "Aw, 'cuz you're one of my musketeers!" I placed the candy bar to balance on top of one of the paint bottles. They were still passing around the picture, Brady had it now.

"You guys should do a recreation of this picture." He said. I quickly nodded my head and looked to Jacob for approval. He rolled his eyes and nodded his head as well. I pulled the last thing out of the bag and hugged it close to me. It was a big tub of twizzlers.

"Twizzlers!" I sang, happily. He chuckled.

"Yup." He said, popping the 'P'. "And I am officially beta ordering it so that no one can take or eat any of Kim's twizzlers unless she offers it to you." I felt the order roll over me as it was ordered to everyone but Sam, Emily, and me. Collin, who had been inching closer to me and the candy, cursed and sat back against his log. I smirked.

"Thanks so much, Jakey. I would give you a big hug, but Jared has got me trapped so I will be sure to give you one later." I smiled wide at him and he seemed pleased that I liked his gift. Emily was practically bouncing with excitement so I decided to enlighten her and open her and Sam's gift. She excitedly pushed the heavy looking box towards me. I glanced up at Jared who shrugged as if to say he wasn't sure what it was. I pulled on the bright pink wrapping paper and turned the box to see the label.

"Is this a karaoke machine?" I squealed, forcing myself out of Jared's arms to see more of the box. Emily was excitedly nodding her head and Jared groaned in frustration as I clapped my hands.

"You can plug it into your T.V. And it comes with some preloaded songs but you can also buy more songs to download into it. Do you like it?" She asked, hopefully.

"Yes!" I squealed moving over to her and giving her a big hug. "This means we have to have a karaoke party at my house!" I told her happily. The guys minus Seth didn't seem to happy about that but Emily let out a happy sound and hugged me tighter. I pulled back and wrapped my arms around Sam to hug him too. He froze for a moment before cautiously hugging me back. I guess big scary guys like him don't get very many hugs.

"You also get to pick the movie next movie night." He said softly. I gave him another squeeze before letting go.

"Really?" I asked, clapping my hands. He nodded his head, giving me a soft smile.

"Thank you so much." I said happily, before heading back over to my seat with Jared. He pulled me closer to him and kissed the top of my head. Leah thrust a medium size box at me and I was about to object to opening any other presents right now but she looked so happy that I couldn't resist opening it for her. I opened the box and pulled out the leather bracelet laying on the top. It had my name written across the strap and a little wolf on the end along with the words she-wolf written in smaller print sideways. It was similar to the one Leah had worn the first day I met her and I told her that I wanted her to teach me to make.

"Leahh!" I sang. "I love it! Thank you so much!" She smiled happily and helped me tie it around my wrist. I reached into the box and pulled out the other item. It was a pair of gorgeous heals. I ran my hand over the side of them and beamed up at Leah. "These are gorgeous." I breathed out. I love heals and she knows that.

"I know, I saw them at this store in Port Angeles and they looked like something that you would wear." She said.

"Thank you so much, Lees." I told her, reaching over to hug her. A little while later we were dancing on the beach, having a great time. Paul was swinging me around making me laugh. "Paullll!" I whined, stumbling a little from my dizziness. He laughed and wrapped an arm around my body to steady me. I shoved at him unsuccessfully and chuckled in response. "Are you going to sing karaoke with me sometime?" I asked, smiling up at him hopefully. He scrunched his nose up showing his obvious disapproval. "Oh, come on. Pretty please? I'll love you forever!" I pleaded, using my best puppy dog eyes. He tapped my nose causing me to go cross eyed for a moment before spinning me around again.

"When you are actually a dog, that doesn't work." He chided, watching me stumble again.

"It always works on Jared." I argued making him laugh.

"Well, yes, because you've got him on a leash." He responded, shoving me playfully before catching me. I squealed in surprise making him laugh again.

"Oh, come on Paul. We're best buds, you have to sing with me. It's in the best bud's handbook. Probably." I told him. He rolled his eyes but didn't respond. "Seth will sing with me! Right Sethy?" I asked, turning to face Seth who was currently trying to get Leah to dance with him. He paused to look at me and nodded his head, giving a little woop and pumping his fist into the air. "I guess Seth is just that much cooler than you Pauly." I told him, twirling a piece of my hair and looking at him in mock disappointment. He let out a huff in disagreement.

"We'll see." He grunted. I smirked and he twirled me again.
