AN: William is now 17 in the story. He and Nikki have been dating since the day in the bedroom.

Carlisle's POV

Today was William's 17th birthday. Alice, of course, had to throw a huge, extravagant party. Will had gotten quite a few gifts. Emmett and Rosalie bought him a new drum set. Jasper and Edward got him a new electric guitar and an amp. Alice had revamped his entire wardrobe. Renesmee and Bella got him a fixed up Harley motorcycle, courtesy of Jake. Nikki had actually bought him a car. And Esme and I had settled on taking the time to have all of the new legal papers he would now need because he had stopped growing, and was a full immortal now. Birth certificate, drivers license, passports, ID's. The whole works. Will had graciously thanked everyone, and then Alice had an announcement.

"Ok, so I've decided that we're all going to go out tonight and have some fun. Let loose. So I've arranged for the girls and guys to split up for the rest of the day, and we'll meet back here at 6 o'clock." She said. Several people groaned a little, but had been convinced to go. We were all sent to Port Angeles, and then Alice took off with our women, and left us men with a list of things to get.

Esme's POV

I swear by the time 2 o'clock rolled around, Alice had dragged us into every shop and tried her hardest to convince everyone to buy an outfit for tonight. I saw many dresses that I liked, but Alice had refused to let me buy it, before I had even said a word. Same with Bella. She protested every time Alice brought her a dress that had shown more than enough of her skin.

"Come on..." She whined, "You two both need to drop the motherly crap, and let loose more. Just pretend your a single woman, shopping with your girlfriends," She ordered Bella and I. There was no use in protesting, because knowing Alice, she would find a way to get her way. I had finally picked out a dress that Alice approved, before we were told to leave.

"But I thought we didn't have to be back at the house until 6 o'clock?" Nikki said,

"That was a ploy for the men, so we would have time to get home before them and get ready," Alice said. We carpooled home and were ushered quickly up to Alice's room.

Alice wouldn't even let us see each other, or even ourselves, until we were completely dressed up. She did each and every one of our makeup, hair, and more. We weren't allowed to leave the designated area. I was in Alice's room. Rose was in Alice's walk in closet. Renesmee was sent to Alice's bathroom, But of course the mirrors had been removed. Nikki was sent to my art studio. And Bella had been sent to Carlisle's office. Alice told me to sit and be still until she had finished working on everyone else.

Everyone was finally told that they could come back into the bedroom. I was shocked at how amazing everyone looked.

Rose was wearing a ruby red, strapless dress that hugged her body and came down to the middle of her thigh. She had silver pumps on. Her hair was in a beautiful fishtail braid, and she held a small red clutch purse. Her makeup had been done so beautifully, with the basic mascara, and a small amount of blush. Her family necklace donned around her neck. But the most predominant and outstanding thing was the ruby red lips. They stuck out so vibrantly against her pale skin.

Then Bella walked in. She wore a dark blue dress with a fairly deep, V-neck, neckline. The straps only an in or so thick. The bottom of the dress flowed gently away from her, and fell only an few inches longer than Rosalie's. I noticed Bella's black wrist cuff and the brown clutch that matched her brown hair so well. Her hair, done in a basic braid. And the gentle brown makeup she had on, went so beautifully with the brown pumps she wore.

Renesmee followed her mother. She donned a sassy, pink, one shoulder dress. The one side had no sleeve, while the other, did. Rhinestones laced the neckline and shoulder. As well as the bottom of the dress, which fell slightly shorter than Rose's. Ness had pink pumps, and fingernails, to match her dress. She had her Cullen anklet that we gave her a few years ago, around her ankle. Her hair was in a stunning waterfall braid, while her makeup was neutral, but she had only the slightest bit of lip gloss on.

Nikki was the last to enter. Her dress, simpler than the others, also fell the same length as Rosalie's. The top area was white, with spaghetti straps. Under her ribcage, she had a small gold belt, and the bottom half of the dress was black. Her shoes were different from the others, as she donned black, strappy heels. She wore her wrist cuff, that stood out, and matched the dress, at the same time. She held a gold clutch, while her hair had been taken, and had small twists pinned on either side. And her makeup, basic and simple. Just a small amount of eye shadow.

The four of them stood and looked at each other. I smiled and turned around, looking at the woman I the floor length mirror. The dress Alice had approved over, wouldn't be something I wouldn't particularly wear as an everyday dress. The black dress was form fitting. It fell to only a few inches above my knee. There were two slits in the front, just off center off my knees, that ran to about the middle of my thigh, or possibly higher. The top of the dress was fairly tight. The "neckline", cut across the top portion of my breast. It was easy to tell they were being squished together. there were two thick straps on either side that cross over each other, just below my neck, and then went over my shoulders and crossed again, on my back, and continued down until only five inches above my hips. That where the dress covered the rest off my body. So in my perspective, my back was completely bare, if you were excluding the straps. But in the front, my breasts were now a key pinpoint for eyes, as they were practically framed by the cut of the dress. I saw on my feet, were a pair of black strappy heels. More or less different in design to Nikki's. Around my wrist was my family bracelet. I looked at my nails, which had been painted with a beautiful French manicure. I studied my hair. Alice had taken it and almost doubled its volume and wave. My makeup just as extravagant as everything else. My already flawless complexion had been maximized when Alice had gone to the extreme. Black mascara, flared my eyelashes out. I looked like a model from a makeup commercial. A gentle tinted lip gloss, coated my lips.

I smiled. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt so in vain for staring at myself in the mirror. I turned back to the other women. Alice clapped her hands together in happiness,

"Oh. you all look so stunning!" She squealed. We did. We looked like we were all ready to go off to some party.

"Thank you Alice. But will you please tell us what this is all about?" I asked. She beamed,

"Sorry. Not yet." She said. Then I heard several cars pull up in the driveway. "Ooo! They're here. You guys all need to stay here, while I go get them ready," She said, and closed the door as she left. All of us girls sat and listened... well more like eavesdropped... as Alice told the guys what to do. I caught several things, but I listened harder as Alice scolded both Edward and my husband, "You two are going to cut the parenting crap, just for tonight. Tonight, act like your 23 and 17. Tonight, no one else should matter, but your spouse. Go crazy, cut loose. Have fun. Don't pay attention to what others think." She carried on. I heard both of the men sigh, and agree. "And Carlisle, would you stop doing that with your hair..." Alice added. I heard the ruffling of hair and a "Hey!", being protested. I laughed. "That's better," Alice said, "Now stay put and stay presentable until I come back with the others," She said, and then I heard her footsteps rush up the stairs. She bounded into the bathroom and closed the door. She was in there for several minutes and finally emerged. She wore a grey dress, that fell down past her knee. The short sleeves on the dress were ruffled, and Alice had her hair spiked, like she used to. he simple makeup, and grey ballet flat made her look elegant, in a sweet, yet playful way.

"Now lets have some fun. Wait for your signal." Alice said as we all waited quietly at the top of the stairs, behind the wall. We all watched as Alice descended the stairs and entered the living room. A whistle came from Jasper, and I smiled to myself. "And now... I give to you, these beautiful women... and my wonderful skills in fashion, might I add" Alice said, giggling. She stood at the bottom of the stairs, waving to Bella. Bella descended the stairs, smiling. "Bella" Alice said in a presenter-like voice. The men clapped as Bella turned the corner at the bottom of the stairs and came into their view. "Renesmee" Alice said, in the same voice, and motioned to her. Renesmee followed her mothers footsteps and added a little sashay to her walk. Another series of clap.

"Well don't you look gorgeous." Jacob exclaimed. Ness giggled.

"And now, Rosalie," Alice said. Rose spent no time wasted to get down the stairs She stopped at the bottom and turned the corner. Emmett hooted and hollered, and then whistled. "And Nikki," Alice added. Nikki smiled at me and then descended the staircase. She turned the corner and I heard my son clap and whisper how beautiful she was. I smiled at that. Such a gentleman. I saw Alice turn back to the stairs and she motioned for me to come. "And finally...Esme" Alice said, sweetly. I took a breath as I held the railing and descended the stairs. It felt like it had taken an eternity to reach the bottom, when in reality it only took me 10 seconds. Alice smiled before I turned the corner. When I did, it was all eyes on me. But for me, it was all attention on my husband. I placed a hand on my hip and posed, than did a twirl on the spot. Many claps came from my family members. But Carlisle just stood there. Jaw hanging open. I smiled and walked over to him. His arms wrapped around me. And I looked up at him. He was in his own special way, stunning. He wore dark wash blue jeans, and a fitting black t-shirt. He had black runners on. But the thing that intrigued me most was his hair. Instead of its usual slicked back look, it had been just tossed around with his fingers. But god was it sexy. His lips crashed to mine,

"You look so.. amazing. Beauty beyond words," he said, when our lips parted. I smiled.

"And you look just as handsome yourself," I told him, and he smiled. I turned around in his arms to face my family. All the man had the same dark wash jeans, but they each had a different color t-shirt. Edward wore a navy blue. Emmett, a dark grey. Jasper's was a forest green color. Jacob, a brown. And William, a simple white. Each man had their arms around their spouse. Or in Jacob and Will's cases, their girlfriends.

"Ok... lets go. Everyone will follow me and Jazz," She said and bounded out the door. I smiled as everyone exited the house. Carlisle locked the door behind himself and escorted me to the car. I smiled at him. He smiled at me. He opened the passenger door of the Mercedes for me, and let me get in, closing it behind me. He hopped in the drivers side and we pulled out of the driveway, following our children's vehicles. I rested my head on my husbands shoulder as I held his hand on the way to where ever Alice was leading us...
