OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No POV

"Alice not this again!" Rosalie was frustrated at Alice. She wanted to throw another party.

"this is different," Alice huffed," It's your birthday party." Alice loves to throw parties and looks for any occasion to throw one. It's March so that means its Rosalie's turn to survive one of Alice's parties with her as the center of attention. Rosalie, Edward, and Jasper are the only ones who still give her grief about throwing them birthday parties still. Alice is the only one in the house that didn't actually know their human birthday. So she just picked hers once a year whenever it fancied her.

Kyle was walking by Rosalie's room where she and Alice were arguing and listened in.

"There's no point in celebrating your birthday when you live forever." Rosalie countered. Since the incident with Rosalie and her shouting at him in that room Kyle tended to stay away from her room for too long. She was arguing with Alice so going in wasn't the best idea. He decided that Emmett would be the better one to go to. He was downstairs playing video games with Jasper. They were always very serious about being interrupted during thier games. Normally because there was some kind of bet connected with it; so Kyle knew to wait until they were done with this round on the couch next to them.

"Hey Kyle." Emmett said while he was still playing, but not too busy to notice Kyle. "What's up?"

"I have a question, but it can wait until you're done." Kyle answered.

"Go ahead; I've almost got em anyway." Jasper said smiling as he was trying to get his warrior to swing a battle ax at Emmett's troll head.

"That's what he's thinkin." Emmett said with his big smile. Both of their life bars were about at zero. Kyle still just waited until they were done.

Instead Kyle stayed and listened to Edward playing his piano from the room down the hall. It was something calm and quiet this time. Kyle loved hearing Edward play. The vibrations of each not relaxed him and tented to make him doze off. He had been playing for a while before Kyle came down and was almost done. On the last note Kyle was a little disappointed the song was over. Edward put his music sheets away and pulled down the piano covering. At vampire speed he came into the living room to the arguing of Emmett and Jaspers finished game. Jasper had just lost by a close finish. Emmett and Jasper tended to playfully cheat at video games with each other and the usually ended in the brothers having a wrestling match.

"Not in the house!" Esme yelled from the backyard. Her and Carlisle always sat in their backyard patio and lay together in their hammock. Alice said that is their version of a 'vacation from the kids' so we were supposed to leave them alone when they did this. Esme was sweet, but her vicious vampire side could come out if you broke her house. After a few more hits, Jasper and Emmett stopped and settled on the couch.

Emmett POV

"So, what's on your mind Kyle." I asked Kyle with a big smile. I loved how he always came to me first when he doesn't know something. That's not usually the role I play in this family. Unless it has something to do with my strength. Although when I came to Kyle e that still applied. Once he was outback with Esme and a snake hissed at him and scared him. He didn't run to Esme though. He high tailed it into the house and ran straight to me and put his around my waist for dear life. It felt pretty good that Kyle depended on me for some things. "What's question did you have little bro?"

"What's a birthday?" he asked. "Alice and Rosalie are arguing about Alice giving her one. Why is she mad to get one?" I was chuckling in my head. We tried teaching Kyle things here and there, but the only real knowledge he had of the world was what Esme tutored him in. Everything else was learned as he went.

"A birthday is when you celebrate the day you were born. Rosalie doesn't like making a big deal about hers. When you're always going to live another day like us there isn't a point for it. You on the other hand are not immortal. Well not yet anyway, but you will get a good idea of a birthday when Alice gets Rosalie's ready."

"But Rosalie doesn't want one." We all laughed a little at that.

"That has never stopped Alice before." Jasper explained while he laughed.

"Yeah, Alice loves her parties, "Edward added, "She always ends up getting her way about these things."

"Then how do you celebrate it?" Kyle continued asking; turning his head to me again.

"Well for yours Kyle, since you eat food, you will get cake and other special foods, probably homemade by Esme, and everyone will give you presents. Ours just tend to include a hunting trip, where you get to hunt your favorite animal, sometimes we go away for a trip, and we all give that person presents."

"A present." Kyle said to himself. I could tell that he was wondering what to do about a present for Rosalie. We had had already given him small presents like a computer, or movies, just we wanted to so he knows what a present is. But Kyle didn't have any money. So that was probably the worry that was going through his mind right now.

"Don't worry little bro we'll help you pick out something for her." Kyle gave me another one of his admiring smiles with his teeth showing.

Since we couldn't wrestle anymore, we switched from that to watching TV. Kyle on the other hand continued to worry about the present he wanted to get for Rosalie. After a while of brainstorming Edward turned his head to Kyle and was giving him a strange look. Then that look turned to shock.

"Kyle are you sure you want to do that." He whispered to Kyle to give the impression that the rest of us couldn't still hear them.

"Yeah it's perfect!" Kyle answered in certainty.

"It really is." Alice yelled from upstairs now, back in her and Jaspers room. She must have seen what Kyle was planning on doing.

"Yes!" Kyle was really excited now. He knew by now that Alice's visions were trustworthy. "Now I don't know how, will you help me?" instead of turning to me he was still talking to Edward only. He gave it some thought first.

"Yes." Edward answered. "I have an idea that would make it more real for her. I'll tell you about it later.

What is that kid planning? Whatever it was I was a little bummed that I wasn't in on their plans.

"Don't worry Emmett, you'll be in on it soon enough." Edward responded after reading my thoughts. Now I really wanted to know.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rosalie's POV

I can't believe it's that time of the year again. My birthday again.

I didn't mind the whole gift getting part, but Alice for some strange reason needed to go all out every time. At least Kyle is here. That will at least make things different this year. Usually around birthdays, everyone is secretly planning their presents until the party. They don't bother trying anymore around Alice and Edwards birthdays. So I didn't find it strange that everyone goes quiet, or change the subject whenever I came into the room. However I wasn't used to Kyle doing it. Normally he didn't hesitate to share a thought or ask a question, but he was being as secretive as the rest of the family.

His present I was the most curious about. He had been tapping, almost constantly, for a few a few hours a day, and when I would come into his room he would suddenly stop and hide his papers. Plus, I'll be the first one to get a present from him, and from what I can tell it's going to be a present he thought up all on his own. He's so sweet. I knew Edward was helping him with it, but it's still sweet that he came up with it. Well I was going to find out about it in a few hours.

Alice was already setting up decorations with Kyle's help. Esme was making a small cake. I would be blowing the candles, but only Kyle would be getting to eat it. I knew it was almost time for Alice to call me for the party. I huffed and decided to pick out an outfit. Alice said to just dress casual this time. I'm my closet; I had enough clothes to fill four department stores. In my casual section, I decided on a simple burgundy sundress. It had short sleeves and reached almost passed my knees.

"Hey birthday girl. I was sent to fetch you." Emmett came behind me and gave me a kiss. I extended it longer than he had expected it to last. "Well you're in a better mood than I thought you'd be." He was giving me his sexy grin.

"Wanna make em wait?" I gave him another smoldering kiss that he had to use his willpower to get out of.

"As much as I want to," and he really wanted to. His eyes were turning black, "we can't, Kyle would kill me. He's been excited about getting your present ready." I huffed again at this, but I never could stay mad at Kyle.

"Fine let's get this over with." And like a gentleman Emmett offered me his arm to escort me down the stairs to make my grand entrance to the living room.

"Happy Birthday Rosalie!" everyone cheered as I entered. Kyle in front of the little crowd and giving me the biggest smile of them all.

I seriously do not see the point in throwing this party, but I went through the motions anyway. Thankfully after years of being no fun on mine, my birthday parties were short. Just presents and we were done. The cake was the only addition, but that was only for Kyle's sake. Alice brought in a small three layered cake with elaborate vine decorations on it. Each layer had an outside ring of candles on them that matched my dress.

"Everybody ready to sing." Alice said as she stood in front of me, and the all started. Normally I cringed at hearing this song and my smile becomes fixed, but Kyle got messed up and sang 'Happy birthday to you' four times instead of three. It was so cute and I smiled at him while he blushed at me. Alice put the cake down in the table, and they all gathered around it while I sat and waited to open their presents. From Esme and Carlisle were open plain tickets, but for three instead of two. Why would I need three, it would just be me and Emmett? Alice and Edward gave me a custom made floor length royal blue Gucci dress. Emmett had a matching diamond necklace and bracelet to match the dress. Then finally there was only Kyle and Jasper left.

"Happy Birthday Rosalie." Kyle said with his wide smile. Then he quickly came to me to hand me a black leather folder.

"Thank you guys." I answered giving Kyle a kiss on the cheek.

"Look at all the pages first." Alice said as I opened the cover. I was more of Kyle's drawings that looked like photos. The first was page sized version of the family portrait we had on our wall, and I smiled at having my own personal version of it. I turned the page and was shocked.

"What is this?"

"Look at all the pages first." Alice repeated. Everyone was anxiously waiting for my response to something in my present. I turned the page and there were more pictures. One was of Emmett and me with a baby facing the camera smiling. Next page was a yearbook styled photo of a five year old, next a six year old, seven year old, etcetera. Until I notice that the fourteen year old picture looked like a younger version of Kyle. They were all of Kyle as if it had been an album to over his entire life.

"Jasper helped me with the pictures." Kyle smiled proudly.

"I know a guy at a police station in New York," Japer added, "He specialized in facial recognition and gave us an assumption on what Kyle would look like younger." There were photos of him as a child cooking with Esme and they had flour on their faces. A young Kyle with Emmett holding a baseball bat with him to teach Kyle how to swing. I turned the page and felt like crying. Others were of me playing with him, and of Emmett and an older Kyle throwing a football to each other.

"These are all great Kyle and Jasper." I smiled at them trying not to cry. "Thank you." And then turned to hug Kyle.

"Look at the last page too." Kyle said, "That's the real surprise." His face was both excited and nervous for me to see the last page. On the last page I was surprised to see that it wasn't another picture. It was a document. They were relinquishment of parental rights forms. I didn't understand. They were signed by Carlisle and Esme for Kyle. These couldn't be real. None of us were legally adopted by Carlisle or Esme. That included Kyle.

"Keep looking." Alice added again.

The next page was adoption papers. Kyle's name was signed at the top as the adoptee. Esme and Carlisle signed their names as the grandparents. Alice signed as an aunt. Jasper and Edward signed as Uncles. At the very bottom Emmett had signed as the father. Lastly was my space, still left blank for me to sign the adoption papers, with a line underneath that said Rosalie-Mother.

I wanted to cry. Instead I looked up and everyone was looking at me with a smile waiting on my reaction. Kyle was still sitting next to me and put a pen on top of the adoption papers. I looked him straight in the eyes when he asked me the question that would have stopped my heart if it were still beating, but instead sent me into shock.

"Will you be my mother?"
