Halloween

Bpov

I always thought Halloween of a holiday that only kids celebrated and adults just helped with the whole ordeal.

I didn't expect a lot of things that I have gotten in life, such as having Jacob after the war .My family was making a big deal out of Halloween had to change my perspective on this holiday.

As it was not enough, the pack was going to have dinner at the beach . I rolled my eyes thinking about the candy apples, ghost cupcakes and spider cakes and all sugary treats the pack was going to have .

Sure, decorations for Christmas, Thanksgiving I would entirely understand, but Halloween? But here Rachel was drawing up orange, black, white, and gray streamers amongst the ceiling, inside and out the house. Paul was carrying their son Parel in his arms who was watching his mom and clapping at times.

He's a cute little baby and I was sure we could surely do all this next year when he would be a year and a half .

"Paul,I need your help in putting this streamer up!" Rachel said . Paul handed me Parel while he went to help his wife .

Taking him in my lap , I sat right next to the window while he babbled seeing the scenery outside. Seth and I had spent our afternoon decorating the bushes and plants in blue velvet lights.

I was shocked when I felt a soft back hug. I turned and saw my niece Renesmee was smiling at me ."It's you ,I am so happy that you are here ."

I hadn't paid the slightest attention to what Renesmee was wearing, but when I saw, I burst out laughing . "What's with the outfit?"

" I am showing my heritage even its half ?" She winked at me as she took the streamers from vampire fangs hemmed her real teeth and the fangs were weren't fangs like the legends told.

It was really over the top .

A cape decorated with multiple colors and frills, adorned around her neck and shoulders. "Pray tell, shall I suck your blood, my love?" She asked in a sheer Dracula horror movie tone.

I looked down at Parel whether he was afraid of seeing her like that ,but his eyes were drooping. Soon he would fall asleep as I rocked him slowly.

"Don't you think that's my job,Nessie?" Jacob walked in with a grin on his face as I shook my head.

"Not you too, honey." I sighed and looked around, my whole family was wearing either Dracula or wolf mask things. To my dismay all of them were enjoying it.

"I'm afraid,dear, you are to wear them too " He opened his hand to show a pair just for me after hugging Renesmee. "Got to give our dear Nessie company ".

Like in cue she pouted and made goo goo eyes at me to wear the plastic fangs. She was too adorable.

I sighed and grabbed them, slipping them over my teeth.

"Happy now?" I questioned, my voice slurred as I was trying to get use to talking with these fangs on.

"Very! " she hugged me as much as possible without squeezing Parel in between. Then she dragged Jacob along with her to the other end of the room in a flash." Now help me get this streamer up."

I rolled my eyes as Jacob stood onto the stool and taped the streamer to the ceiling.

Parel had fallen asleep in my arms.

" I am going to the nursery, Rach."

After settling him in his crib, I came to the hall .I found Claire , dressed in a Loch Ness monster's costume .I gagged at the sight before I nearly fell down on my face.

Jacob caught me with a small laugh. "I never expected to be able to catch you like this again."

Ignoring my husband's statement, I stood up while clutching his arms.

I narrowed my eyes , "Quil ! You dressed Claire in a monster costume..this is not even the slightest bit of funny-"

"Chill out" he rose a hand in his defense. Though I knew he did it just to mess with me.

"It's just for tonight! Besides, look how adorable she is!" He protested, waving his hand to her. Claire giggled as a pink blush formed on her cheeks which I was sure came from Quil's compliment.

She walked over to me "It's a holiday and I like it very much . So, no quarrelling !" She spoke happily , that I had to agree with her.

She laughed and bounded back over to Quil where he grabbed her hand ans showed the decorations around the house.

" Don't worry, they soon will be off for trick or treating. " Jacob said as he observed me watching Quil like a hawk.

" I am sure he's upto some prank. I can feel it " I was never sure when some crazy prank idea comes to his head.

" I don't think so he will do that today. Besides, what kind of kid doesn't go trick-or-treating?" Jacob retorted.

"Yeah ,let's hope for the best ." I said as we walked towards the couch.

Renesmee and Rachel were drinking the strawberry punch I had made earlier. They had finished their work and were quietly talking between themselves .

As Quil and Claire finally walked out the door, I felt Jacob arms wrap around my sides as his plastic fangs skidded along my neck, making me shudder .

"Like that?" He pulled away, turning me around with a smirk plastered on his face.

I blushed as I stifled a groan coming from my mouth . I was grateful for it ,otherwise Rachel and Nessie would have teased me later.

I leaned in to kiss him chastely , trying to make him forget about what he had just still mumbled the same question against my lips. "Maybe." I answered innocently.

"Maybe?" His brow rose. "Should I try it again to see if I get a straight answer?"

"Get a room, you two!" Rachel hissed, not wanting to hear us.

"Yeah ,you two surely don't want to corrupt my eyes." Renesmee cried.

Before I could reply to them, I heard the door open followed by a loud shriek.

It was Leah ,she was splattered with chocolate syrup .Her black cat costume now had chocolate syrup dripping down from it.

" Oh no,Leah ! " I rushed towards her as Jacob dashed in the kitchen to bring paper towels.

Leah was muttering curses under her breath whoever had played the trick on her.

" We didn't plan anything like that, was in front of me the entire time while decorating ." Rachel reassured her.

I passed the paper towels to her and saw

Embry was sniffing the Jack o lantern that had fallen on the doorway.

" Where's Quil?" Embry asked us at last with a resigned sigh.

" He left an hour ago from here taking Claire for trick and treat ." Renesmee replied.

" I told you Jacob. Quil was upto something. " I said as I squeezed Leah's hand in mine.

"Quil , you are so going down." Leah bristled in anger .

No doubt Quil was going to be puppy chow by the end of the night.
