*Renesmee*

My Breathe caught as I walked into the main house, Alice had out done herself yet again. The living room was transformed into a night scene, tiny white lights hung above people's heads throughout the living room, and various metallic streamers were everywhere. It was decorated more sophisticated than previous years however was still fun looking. As my eyes made their way around the room I noticed the table full of presents, but I suppressed my sigh knowing that everyone had gone over board yet again.

I was pulled out of my gaze when I felt Alice's tiny figure wrap around me as she squealed, "Happy Birthday!" I then looked over to see Leah reach out for the next hug; I delightful returned one to her. Although I know Leah has had a rough past she has always been sort of like a big sister when it came to the whole being around wolf's thing, after all she was one herself. I smiled once more at her before receiving greetings from some of the other pack members that were in attendance, Paul, Rachel, Sam, Emily, Seth, Quil, Claire, and even Embry. I could here my breath catch when the door opened behind me and in walked Jacob. I saw a grin spread across his face when he saw me, I couldn't help but smirk at how good he looked in the white button down shirt, half tucked into his khaki pants. He gave me a meaningful look and I couldn't help but smile at him.

Before I could see his response Alice grabbed me and chimed Cake time! As Alice lit the candles, and everyone sang happy birthday I couldn't contain my grin when it was time for me to make my wish, as the song ended one wish came to mind adventure, so that's exactly what I hoped for.

The evening finally died down, I opened my presents saving mom and dads for last. Daddy handed me a light blue box with a silver bow on top, what I assumed to be Jewelry was something absolutely different. As I opened the box lid I gasped at the content of the note.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen it is with great pleasure that your mother and I are sending you to Paris for a month, unaccompanied unless you choose, your trip begins three days from now, the adventure of Europe awaits"

I was so happy I couldn't help the squeal that erupted from my throat as I pulled my mother and father in for a tight hug. I couldn't believe my wish was finally happening, the adventure I had been waiting for three days away.

By the time I was done gushing over my trip party guests had started to leave for home. The room was filled less and less until eventually Jacob was the only guest left outside my immediate family. He walked over to me and touched my arm and then asked, "Do you wanna go outside for a walk?"

I shook my head yes and let my parents know I was leaving and would be back later.
