"Guys this is awesome! Are you getting me prepared for when I do become a vampire?" I asked still giggling.
Edward scowled.
I took no notice of him and began dressing myself in the costume.
"Something like that." Emmett said with a wink.
As I was fitting the vampire teeth over my own, Rosalie approached me holding what looked like another present.
"Here Bella. This is just a little something for me." She said quietly. She blushed a little and stepped back.
The moment was very awkward and I didn't know what to say. The rest of the family were looking around for an explanation.
"Errr, thanks heaps Rosalie." I said trying to sound cheerful.
I handed the present to Alice, who took it and ripped it open within seconds.
I was carefully holding the blood capsules over my mouth, taking care not to get it all over my chemise when I heard the rest of the family gasp.
"What ish it?" I said, trying to speak with the vampire teeth in my mouth.
I turned my head so quickly that it jarred my neck.
"Ouch!" I yelped in pain. Edward was behind me before I could scream any profanities, rubbing my neck better.
"Thank you." I whispered behind me as I looked at what the present Rosalie had got me.
It was a gorgeous white bra with a silk-mesh singlet to go over the top and to match with that were some cute silk briefs.
"Shank you sho mush Roshalie!" I said in an unfamiliar tone of voice. She shrugged and I heard Edward mumbling behind me.
"How ironic." He said. I wondered what it meant, but I was about to find out what his present was in a matter of minutes.
I turned to Edward who was still rubbing my neck. He let go and placed his hands around my waist.
"Are you ready for your present?" he whispered softly.
"Yesh." I mumbled, forgetting that I still had the vampire teeth in my mouth smeared with fake blood.
I chuckled and spat the teeth out on a near-by piece of wrapping paper.
He chuckled and touched my face. I couldn't resist but to kiss his perfect lips. I leant in and put all my love into a romantic kiss. He slightly lifted me off the ground. I didn't care that his whole family was watching, right now was nearly the best moment of my life.
When he pulled away I saw that I had left smears of fake red blood all over his pale face. It was a hilarious sight.
Everything was silent while we all glared at Edward, and then there was a burst of laughter.
Edward was pouting, and didn't find this funny at all.
"Aw, I'm sorry Ed, but you really should see yourself." I chuckled.
He walked over to the crooked mirror on the wall.
Once he saw himself he suppressed a giggle.
"It is funny, and you know it." Alice sighed after a fit of laughter.
He chuckled slightly and glided back to me, wiping his face.
I took his hands to stop him, and started gently wiping away the remains of the fake blood myself.
He smiled my favorite crooked smile and closed his eyes while I finished wiping his face.
After I was done he glided away from me to get his present. Rosalie and Emmett we embracing each other and the rest of the family were in deep conversation about global warming.
I slouched on a chair and observed.
"I've been on this earth long enough to tell that it's not going to be a problem." Carlisle chuckled.
Jasper laughed with him and Alice the added, "What about the sea level?"
"I'm no scientist Alice, but it's going to be many a decades before we witness that."
It was amusing to hear the way they casually talked about their ever lasting lives.
I sighed. I wished mine was.
I wasn't keeping track of time but when I had stopped admiring the family Edward was beside me holding a large box.
Soon the room was quiet and all the attention was focused on Edwards's giant present.
"Edward?" I asked.
"You must open this yourself." He told me quietly.
"What is it?" Alice asked.
"You know what it is Alice." Edward rolled his eyes.
She giggled and laid back to enjoy a vision.
"I might cut myself." I was worried that my birthday would turn out the way it did last year.
"That's why I brought you these." He said politely. He turned around to retrieve a small packet.
"Here you go." He pecked me on the head and passed me a packet of gloves.
I laughed at his thoughtfulness.
"Wait…" he stopped me before I could open them, and took them back.
"What is it?" I asked.
With no answer he started opening the packet himself.
I realized what he was doing.
"Edward!" I exclaimed, "That is not nice! I am perfectly capable of opening a packet of gloves myself. I opened Alice and Jasper's box fine!" I crossed my arms.
He was laughing of course. I did see the funny side of this but I was slightly offended.
He saw the slight hurt in my eye and stopped laughing.
"Sorry…" he pulled me onto his lap.
I gave a slight chuckle to try and hide the way my heart was beating faster, but I could tell Edward already heard.
He pulled the present onto my lap… which was on his lap, and gestured me to open it.
I hesitated and then started picking at the tape.
"Hours later…" Jasper sighed.
I shot him a death glare and he just chuckled.
I had finally got through the wrapping paper, to find a large white box.
"What the?" I asked.
"Shh, just open it." He told me softly.
I looked at him skeptically, and noticed that the room had gone quiet.
"Just open it already." Rosalie murmured.
Alice started giggling; she already knew what it was.
I slowly opened the box.
"Edward! No way, I am not taking this." there were already tears in my eyes.
He kissed the side of my face.
"I wanted to." He said calmly.
I noticed Esme was back in the room to witness the opening.
A tear strolled down my face, and I pushed the box away making sure that the tear didn't drip on his present.
"You bought her a wedding dress?!" Rosalie gasped.
She glided over to it and pulled it out of the box.
"Wow, Bella this is gorgeous." She was in agaw.
"Edward… I might not fit this by the time we are married!" I laughed through my tears of joy.
He laughed.
Everyone's eyes were still on the beautiful wedding gown that Rosalie was twirling around her.
"Thank you so, so much Edward." I said still in utter shock.
"I love you." He whispered.
Esme slowly glided back into the kitchen.
"Nearly done here!" she yelled out.
I was wondering what she had gone and done. Rosalie settled the gown on the settee and glided over to Alice,
"Can you tell me what Esme is up to in there? Please?" she begged.
"Nope." She said firmly. Rosalie narrowed her eyes and glided away.
"Okay, ready guys. Emmett can you get the door for me?" she asked cheerfully.
"Sure." He said. He reached for the handle and opened it. Esme was standing there holding a huge birthday cake with what looked like 19 candles in it.
I gasped.
"Esme, you shouldn't have gone to all the trouble!"
"Oh no, no, no, it is your birthday and you deserve it!"
Rosalie had crossed her arms and was pouting.
"What a spoilt brat." She mumbled under her breath.
Esme was carefully gliding out of the kitchen with her magnificent cake.
I turned to Edward.
"Did she just say what I thought he said?" I asked shocked at her rudeness.
He chuckled slightly, and then it somehow turned into a sigh.
"Yes Bella she did."
I frowned; Esme was in front of me now, holding the large beautifully piped cake below me.
"Happy Birthday dear, Make a wish." She whispered excitedly.
I looked around, everything had gone quiet. Edward nudged me as I scanned the room. I found Rosalie; she was still pouting, mumbling things under her breath.
I closed my eyes. 'I wish that Rosalie was hideous, and she had a huge mole right beside her witch nose!'
I opened my eyes and blew out every single one of the candles on the cake in one go.
I chuckled under my breath.
Emmett whistled loudly while Jasper, Carlisle and Alice clapped. Rosalie managed a small smile.
"Thank you guys so, so much guys." I said with all the enthusiasm I had left.
Most of it was taken away by Rosalie's bitchy comment.
I sighed and leaned back onto Edward.
Esme was cutting the cake and Emmett was having an arm wrestle with Jasper, Carlisle was cleaning up the lounge a bit and Alice was… having a vision? She was concentrating, her eyes were tightly closed, and her hands to her temples.
After a minute of observing her she snapped out of if with a huge fit of laughter.
Edward started laughing too. The rest of us sat there in silence while they laughed hysterically.
I see, Alice must've had a vision, which Edward shared reading her mind.
"Tell me." I whispered once the laughter had ceased.
"Your birthday wish." He whispered trying to say it too loud.
Shit. They know what I wished for.
Alice glanced at me holding both of her thumbs up.
I smiled narrowing my eyes.
Esme was bringing cake over to me, everything was going fine.
Rosalie, of course, has to ruin everything.
I thought a bunch of profanities that I could say to her, but instead looked up at Esme who was kindly holding a plate of her delicious cake in front of me.
"Thanks Esme." I smiled.
Edward leaned over and took the fork form the plate.
"What you think I am going to stab myself now?" I asked rolling my eyes into my head as far as they would go.
"No." he said simply and fed me a piece of cake.
I smiled with my mouth half full, what a morning.
