Author's Notes: Halo friends and welcome to another update, so todays update is Sky's 13th birthday. Get excited my friends because it'll be a ride, and sorry for what's to come…y'all can kill the Cullens (cough, cough Alice) later.

Btw, Sky's birthday is October 15, but y'all know when you have your birthday on a week day you can't really do anything, so I decided to have her birthday on a weekend and that she'll have her small birthday with the pack, her wolf and family.

Also, I hope that the people that are effected with Corona virus, I hope that y'all are ok and trying to stay healthy. I implore y'all to stay in doors.

It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To

La Push, Washington

October 8, 2008

Sky, age 12-13

It was a week before Sky's birthday and she was excited, Sam and the pack not so much. They didn't want to see their little imprint turning into a bratty teen, but Charlie made sure that Sky was never going to be bratty. He made sure that she was grateful for what she had in life.

Sky was at Emily and Paul's house working on her homework since Sue and Leah were at the OBGYN because Sue was seven months along with her new baby brother, Sam was on patrol with the rest of the pack aside from Seth and Emily who were watching Sky.

Emily was cooking some supper for the wolves before they came back. "Hey, kiddo, do you know what you want for your birthday?" She asked.

Sky hummed and looked at her sister. "I dunno maybe a new book," She said.

"When do you not read books?" Seth asked.

Sky looked to her brother and said, "Says the guy who wants a bb gun for his 17th birthday." Seth made a face to his little sister as they started to poke each other. Once they stopped she looked back to Emily and said, "Maybe those Lord of the Rings or Song of Ice and Fire books."

Emily nodded. "You got it, kiddo." She agreed with those books, but she'll have to talk to Charlie and Sue about the Song of Ice and Fire books due to its violent nature.

"Did you hear they might be turning Song of Ice and Fire into a TV show and giving it a different name?" Seth asked.

Sky nodded. "Yeah but it's on HBO so I can't watch it." She replied. "Heck we can't watch it!" She implored.

"Maybe when we're older?" He suggested.

"Maybe, have to ask dad and mom about it though." Sky said. She has been taking up calling Sue 'mom', since she was her mom. Sky loved Sue to death, she was way better then her own mother.

"Have you heard from Bella lately?" Emily asked. She wanted to change the subject because she has seen HBO and didn't want these two innocent minds being corrupted by something dirty.

Sky groaned and crossed her eyes. "Yes and no." She said.

"What's going on?" Seth asked.

Sky sighed and shook her head. "Dad had to do overtime one night and Sue was asleep because of her pregnancy, so sadly I answered the phone and Bella just went on and on about Nessie and her powers along with her relationship with Nahuel."

"Isn't she supposed to be seven by now?" Seth asked.

"Right! That's just weird, I'm sorry but it is." She said. "But, Bella didn't even ask how dad was and were or anything of that matters just Nessie this, Nessie that. I wonder if I told Jacob died that she'll freak out or gloss it over and stick to talking about Nessie all the darned time." Sky accidentally broke her pencil during her rant which concerned both Seth and Emily. She looked at the pencil and looked back to her family. "Um, oops." She muttered. She felt a bit panicky, so she took a few calming breaths, but it wasn't working. "I think I need some air." Sky muttered, she got up and walked to the back patio.

Seth looked to Emily with concerned eyes. "She is one angry bird." He said. Emily nodded and went back to cooking knowing that one of the wolves would smell her in no time.

Outside Sky sat on the back porch with narrowed eyes. She was seething mad due to her sister and her selfishness. Bella was always like that growing up, being babied by her mom and just not the best person in the world to be around. Sky was happy that her dad decided to raise her, and she loved him to death! She just didn't get why Bella was acting like such a selfish weirdo.

She didn't notice but Sam had phased back into his human form and started at his little imprint. He saw that Sky had a sad expression to her face, well more like mad because of her furrowed brow.

The Alpha walked to his imprint and sat next to her. "Wanna tell me what's going on?" He asked after sitting in silence for a minute.

Sky sighed and shook her head. "Bella." She muttered. Sam hummed and started to rub her back because he could feel how tense she was. "She called the other day just going on and on about Nessie and their new life in Brazil." Sky rolled her eyes and looked to Sam. "I'm not gonna cry about it, but why is Bella so selfish that she won't even ask if dad and I are ok?" She asked.

Sam looked to his imprint and pulled her to his person. "She's just that person who thinks that the luxury is better than simple." He said.

"You're right." She said. Sky looked to Sam with a small smile and asked, "But how come she is just selfish and does not care for dad and me?"

"She just cares about herself and no one else," He said. "But, I care so does the whole pack, Charlie, Sue, Billy and Old Quil. We love you, Sky, so don't let Bella ruin that for you, ok?"

Sky nodded and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I love ya, Sammy."

"I love you too, little Blue." He kissed her crown and took in her scent.

She pulled away from him and smiled. "You haven't called me that in forever." She said.

Sam smirked at her and flashed his yellow eyes. "I guess we missed calling you that." He said in the Alpha's voice.

Sky giggled and laid her head on his shoulder, embracing the moment they had…until it was ruined by the pack she calls a family.

"C'mon foods ready, y'all!" Jared hollered.

Sam growled at his packmate and gave him a dirty look. "Patrols for the next two weeks." He said in a stern voice. Jared rolled his eyes and groaned like the teenager he was. The Alpha just rolled his eyes and muttered, "Kids."

"Can't blame him." Sky said, she shrugged with a small smile. "He and the pack are garbage disposals." Sam belly laughed to the high heavens and picked up his imprint to eat their fill of food before he had to drop her off back home.

That night Sam was walking Sky home when he noticed that something was off, he felt something was weird and quiet. He tilted his head to the side and squinted his eyes.

Sky looked to her wolf and asked, "You ok, Sammy?"

"No, something feels off." He said and slowly walked into the Clearwater-Swan household.

When they entered Sam saw that Leah was pacing back and forth, he could feel the anger rolling off of her. The Alpha knew that the she-wolf was angry about something was wrong.

Leah stopped when she felt eyes on her, she looked up to find her Alpha looking back at her. "Oh! Thank God!" She exclaimed.

"Is everything ok?" Sky asked. "Are you ok? Is Sue and the baby ok?" She was getting worried now, no one was telling her what was going on and she could see that Leah could phase at any moment.

Leah stopped and waved at Sky. "I'm fine. Everything is fine with mom and the baby, but just those shit eating leeches." She hissed and kicked at the kitchen table which resulted that into it breaking it.

"Leeches?" Sam asked. He was shocked, how the hell did they get on their land?

Leah nodded. "When mom and I got home I knew something smelt funny." She said. "They came on our land, Sam. Those leeches walked up to our house and dropped this off." She threw down an envelope in anger and started to pace again.

Sky sighed and marched to the dissuaded letter, she picked it up and saw that it was in Alice's handwriting. She opened and took out an invitation. "You are cordially invited to Sky Swan's 13th birthday party next Saturday at 3:00 pm!?" She exclaimed. She looked to Sam with a questionable look. "What?" She asked.

"Let me see that?" He asked. Sky obliged and gave him the tacky looking letter. Sam read the invitation over again, he couldn't believe this those leeches were doing it again. "Leah, call Carlisle and set up a meeting with them at the treaty line. I want to know why this pixie psycho is doing this."

Leah nodded and rushed into the kitchen to the land line to call the Cullen leader.

Sam shook his head and cursed under his breath in anger. He couldn't believe those leeches were trying to still be in Sky's life, he didn't mind Rosalie and Emmett but not the pixie. She is taking it too far by crossing their land when she damn well knew that she couldn't.

The Alpha looked to his imprint who looked frustrated as well, she had the invitation in her hands. Sky looked at him with a clenched jaw. "I know you don't want me to go, but I wanna get down to the bottom of this too. Why she is trying to ruin my life, they already ruined Bella's, so why now mine?"

Sam smirked and pulled Sky into a hug. "I know, kiddo. I wanna know too."

Leah walked back into the room breaking the moment up. "Carlisle said they are ready to meet when you howl for us."

Sam nodded and looked to Sky asking if she was ready which she was. They marched outside and phased into their wolves. Sam howled for his pack and told everyone to meet in the woods and rushed to meet the leeches.

Once they got there to the clearering the Cullens, minus Bella, Edward and Nessie, where there. Sky sat on Sam's back and looked to the wolves.

"Hello, Sky." Rosalie said.

"Heya Rosie." Sky replied. She got off his back and stood beside her wolf, she looked to Alice and asked, "Why?"

"Why what?" Alice asked acting innocent.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you so bent on being part of my life?" Sky asked.

Alice shrugged and looked kind of hurt because of what Sky said. "We're in-laws, obviously I'm, we're supposed to be in your life."

"No, you aren't." Sky said. She sighed and looked to the vampire family and to her wolves, she just had enough of these people it was getting on her nerves. "Look I know you want to be part of my life, but please stop. Just stop! I'm about to turn 13 and I think I'm old enough to make my own decisions."

"No, you aren't, Sky." Alice implored. "You're still too young, you still need the adult in your life to make them for you. And the wolves aren't a perfect match for you, you can still be part of our family forever."

Sky rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Um, yeah, no." She said. "No, I'm not gonna be a vampire, I would rather stay human. I wanna grow up and go to college, become my dream profession, get married to Sam and have kids. I can't do that if I'm forever 12!"

"Bella did it." Alice said.

Sky narrowed her eyes at Alice and shook her head. "Well, Bella and Edward were idiots who didn't know what protection was." She said. The wolves, in their heads, started to laugh which had their hairy forms rolling on the forest floor.

Alice rolled her eyes and stomped her feet like a child. "Stop laughing you ugly mutts, I want Sky to be part of our family. She can have all the things she ever wanted in her life."

"I don't want to become like Bella and be a spoiled brat," Sky said. "I'm grateful for all things in my life, but this party isn't it." She tossed the invitation to Rosalie. "We already have a party planned the weekend of my birthday, it's themed and everything. I'm sorry but you can't make another Bella outta me."

"You'll be sorry, Sky." Alice said. "Esme had everything planned out and now you're gonna break her heart for canceling. We even mailed out the invitations too."

Sky groaned while Esme and Carlisle gave Alice a strange look. Esme never mailed them out because she had a feeling Sky would wonder why, but Alice kept imploring that Sky would love the party at their house. But, Esme knew better.

The preteen looked to the motherly vampire with a concerned look. "Did you, Esme?" She asked.

Esme shook her head. "No, I didn't mail them. I knew the wolves had something else planned for you."

The youngest Swan blew a raspberry, she cuddled up into Sam's warm and rubbed his neck. "Good." She said. Sky looked to Sam and whispered in his ear, "Can Rosalie and Emmett come?"

The Alpha looked to his pack with a questionable look. "What do you think? Should we? They aren't that bad, Rosalie is friends with her."

The pack looked at each other, they had different scenarios in their heads go off. But Leah told them to calm down as she walked towards her Alpha. "I say yes, I kinda like her." She said.

"Guys?" He asked the others.

The other wolves looked at each other and back to the Hollywood vampire couple. "I don't care," Paul said. "Just as long as they don't hurt our imprints, family and friends, then they can come."

The others agreed because they kinda actually liked Rosalie and Emmett, they could control Alice when she or Edward got to over bearing towards Sky. Sam looked to his imprint and saw that she was looking at him with hope in her eyes. He could tell that she was hoping that he would say yes, he looked back to the vampiric couple and nodded yes.

Rosalie smiled while Emmett cheered like a grown child, but Alice was seething.

"I guess we will see y'all Saturday?" Sky asked them. They nodded in agreement. Sky smiled and climbed back on Sam's back. "See y'all soon!" She waved at them as he rode off with his pack right behind him.

Alice was so mad that punched a nearby tree and roared to the sky. "Oh, that little ungrateful brat!" She hissed and growled, she started to pace and grip at her hair. "I cannot believe this, she is still choosing those mutts over us."

"Alice," Esme implored.

"No!" She exclaimed. "Who is gonna tell her about her body and the changes she will go through?"

"Sue will, Alice." Rosalie said. "Sue is practically Sky's mother at this point."

Alice shook her head. "No, no. I will not tolerate this anymore. I am going to her party even if it kills me." She sped off in a huff getting ready for Sky's big day.

Rosalie just rolled her eyes and looked to Jasper. "Please keep her under control before the party, Jasper." She said. He nodded and sped off to find his wife.

October 18th

It was a couple of days after Sky's actual birthday, but her party was today. But for her actual birthday Charlie and Sue had decided to have something small for her with the pack, Billy and Old Quil.

Sky honestly had a good time with her family, she did get some stuff from the Cullens. Like a locket from Rosalie that had a picture of Sky and Sam and Sam's wolf, a dirty bike from Emmett-which was put away in the Black's garage until she was ready to ride it, a journal set from Carlisle and Esme, a rare Edgar Allen Poe book set from Jasper and Alice gave her some weird book about a teen girl's growing body; which she hid in her closet far in the back.

Out of sight, out of mind in her opinion.

From the wolves Sam gave her a charm bracelet that was blank expect for a few charms like a truck that looked like Bella's, Sam's black wolf and a full moon. Charlie and Sue gifted her the gender of their baby which had Sky very excited, Paul and Emily gifted her some books even Song of Ice and Fire, from Jacob, Melissa and Billy she got some more books about the legends of the Quileute tribe, from Old Quil is a book of Quileute language and songs so now she can talk to him and Sam in secret. Quil and Claire gave her a polyhedroid camera with blank photos to refill, Jared and Embry gave Sky a scrapbook to put her memories in. and finally, Leah and Seth gave Sky a special Quileute family bracelet; meaning that they were happy that Sky was part of their family and was happy to call her their sister.

This had Sky in tears and telling her new siblings that she was happy to be part of their family too.

The youngest Swan was grateful about her gifts and was ready for her life as a teenager, but Charlie and the pack weren't too happy.

That Saturday, Sky had greeted her friends and their parents. She saw that her father greeting Pastor Webber and his wife while Sky and Annie went off to see if Emily needed help which she said no, sadly.

This had the preteens going outside to watch some of the guys wrestle each other.

"Did you send out those invitations to have the party the Cullens house?" Annie asked.

Sky rolled her eyes and groaned. "Alice did that," Sky said. "She keeps trying to push and be part of my life."

"I sense a 'but' coming on." Annie said sing-songly.

Sky nodded. "Exactly." She said. "I mean isn't there a law that sometimes the in-law doesn't have to be part of our lives?"

Annie said a light meh. "But, don't you like the Cullens?" She asked.

"I do! I just hate Alice." Sky said.

"Really?" She asked. "I thought you would've liked her."

"That would be Rosalie actually." Sky corrected. "I like her instead because she gets me, she gets that I don't like crazy things. She doesn't push me and thinks I'm still some little kid." The youngest Swan shook her head and sighed. "I'm not nine anymore, I can stand up for myself."

Annie smiled sympathetically at her friend and rubbed her back. "I know the feeling. My dad treats me like that sometimes, so it's a pain." She said.

Sky looked to her best friend and smiled. "Thanks Annie." She said. "You're an awesome best friend, you know that?"

Annie blushed "Oh pulease." She giggled and nudged her best friend. "But, we have to talk about something else though,"

"And what's that?" Sky asked.

"Your obviously crushing on Sam Uley." She said.

Sky's went from smiling to serious in five point zero seconds. She cleared her throat and shifted on her spot. "I-I dunno what you're talking about." She stuttered.

Annie raised her eyebrow at Sky and said, "Oh really? Then how come you're blushing right now? Hmm?"

Sky groaned and licked her lips. She hated to say but…"Yeah, I have a crush on Sam Uley." She muttered.

"See? Was that so hard?" Annie asked.

Sky gave her best friend a dirty look and sighed. "No, it wasn't but give me some credit here, I have always had a crush on him ever since I meet him. He's funny, sweet, considerate and just an all-around good guy. He isn't a gang member or whatever everyone in Forks is saying, the guys are here to keep La Push safe from bad influences." She said.

Annie smiled at her best friend who had a dusting of blush across her nose that was getting brighter as she confessed more. "Well, I guess anytime would be the best time to tell him how you felt." She said.

Sky sighed sadly. "You're right, but he wouldn't do anything. I'm too young and he might find another girl that is way more important than I am." She said.

Annie was about to say something but was interrupted by something clearing their throat. Annie stood tall and said, "I think I'm gonna go help Angela and Embry with the food." She rushed away looking guilty at the person.

The person looked towards the 13-year-old and sat next to her. "So, you have a crush on me." Sam said.

Sky tsked and shook her head. "You weren't supposed to hear that, Sammy." She muttered.

Sam looked to his young imprint and laid his warm hand on her shoulder, he pulled her to his person and kissed her crown. "And why is that?"

"Because I wanted to tell you in my own time," Sky said. "I wanted to tell you when the moment was right that it was awkward between us. I know that you're 22 years old and we are nine years apart, but I do like you Sam, more than as a friend." Sam sighed and looked to his imprint. "But, I would understand that you just wanna stay friends with me-"

Sam held his hand up to her and shook his head, stopping his little imprint from continuing. "Stop, Sky. Just stop." He kissed her forehead and rubbed her back, just so he could clam her down. "Sky, I love you. You are my everything, my world, my heart, and that's what an imprint is to a wolf. It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like…gravity moves…suddenly. It's not the earth holding you here anymore, you do…you become whatever you need me to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend." He said. He pulled away from her and brushed her tears away. "I love you Sky, and I care deeply for you. I love that you have a crush on me, but we're gonna have to wait, could you do that?" He asked.

Sky felt like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders, she breathed out a sigh of relief and nodded. "Yes, I can. I can wait, Sam."

The Alpha smiled and pulled her to his person and kissed all over her face until she literally had to pull herself away from him and ran into the house with the Alpha on her tail.

Sky was happy that Sam liked that she liked him back, but sadly she would have to wait until it was the perfect moment to be together. Sky was excited for when she gets older because not only she would have her family, but she would have her friends and her crush with her.

Author's Notes: Well, that's its folks. I know it wasn't much, but weren't y'all nervous when you told your crush that you liked them? I know I was when I was her age, and a boyfriend never showed up in my life…well, not yet anyway. But, I hope y'all enjoyed and I will see y'all a next time. Bye, bye!
