"It's a shame that you can not arm wrestle against Emmet soon" Edward said conversationally. I already knew that, my newborn strength was going, its nearly a year. "I am sure he had an interesting experience, at least he won the bet against Jasper, that might have cheered him a bit". The bet between them was on how many people I would kill as a newborn, Emmet betted on low and jasper on high. "Yes" Edward replied. "Daddy will Jake come?" Nessie asked from his back. "you know he will".
" Nessie, be careful, mummy might steal Jake, you know" he said giggling. "Ehh" Nessie wondered. So, he was in his teasing mood again? I took my shield off my head because I did not think it was right for Nessie to hear what I wanted to say. I thought, Oh yeah, how can I stay away from him. Poor Nessie, she will have to fight with her mummy for her man. Well, bad luck Edward, if you are trying to ditch me, its not going to be easy for you. At my thoughts Edward started laughing louder. "I know" he said in between laughter.
" What am I going to do if mummy and daughter want the same doggy" Edward said, rubbing Nessie's back.
Then he stopped laughing at once and said "Sorry Nessie, I did not mean it, don't be upset". then, we walked in silence for a minute before Edward's face lit up and he told Nessie "I have finished composing that song , influenced by you and you can hear it whenever you want" and he kissed Nessie's little hand around his neck.
We were in front of the Cullen's mansion now. There were pink decorations even outside and it looked like, some of my eighteenth birthday's things that Alice had used. Inside, the living room was covered in glitter and ribbons. Big letters saying happy birthday on the wall.
As soon as we got inside Nessie jumped from us and towards the rest of family. Everyone was hugging and kissing her. "Jake aren't you supposed to run with your friends, now" I asked him. " I have taken a day off, I will do today's shift tom morrow night when Nessie is sleeping… and don't say anything about me needing sleep or anything, you know that I can not stay away from her". So, I just smiled tar him as I did not have anything else to say. He was still my best friend.
I looked at Nessie, she was now jumping to the table with her presents. It was piled, everyone exited about a proper birthday party. Me and Edward had brought a piano for her, basic as she already could play quite well, got it from Edward.
Lets cut the cake then, Alice announced as she brought a cake covered in chocolate, her favourite human food.
