The days flew by fast. My dad and Alice helped us with the house. It was with in walking distance of the beach too. It's a two story house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, and a big back yard that goes all the way to the woods. All we have to do now is move in. Jake, Emmett, my dad, and the pack are doing that tomorrow after Abigal's birthday. My family was throwing Abigal's party.
Alice took me and Abigal out for the day, while everyone set the house up for tonight. Jake and I gave Abigal the locket this morning. Now Alice wanted to shop in the city. Of course that exausting for both me and Abigal.
"Hey Alice? Why don't we stop and take a break or something? I'm getting tired and I'm sure Abby is too."
"Fine. I have something to do first so I'll meet you umm...that cafe over there."
"Alright. Come on Abby." I grabbed her hand and we started down the street.
Abigal seemed to be having a good time even though Alice forced her to try on more outfits than I've worn in my whole life. On our way I bumped into someone on accident.
"Oh I'm sorry sir."
"Oh it's alright." He turned to me and gave me this weird look. It really creeped me out. "A hybrid."
"I'm sorry?"
"You're a hybrid. Half vampire, half human. I'm a hunter, I can tell by the feeling in the air around you."
"Ok? Come on Abby." I started to leave with her but he said something else.
"Is she yours?"
"Yes." I started to walk away but he followed us."
"Her father's a werewolf. That can't be."
"Crazy old man." I tryed loosing him in the crowd but I could still hear him.
"That child shouldn't exist!" He yelled out as we finally lost him.
We made it the cafe a few seconds after that.
"That man was weird."
"Don't worry Abs. Let's just have fun today. Ok?" She shook her head and went inside.
While we waited for Alice I got Abigal so ice cream. That man's words kept echoing in my head. He must have been crazy. I mean who yells that a child shouldn't exist? But another good question is how did he know what I was and about Jacob?
I was so deep in thought I didn't even notice Alice showed up.
"Alex!"
"Yeah!" I jumped back a little. "Sorry. I was thinking."
"I can tell." She said giggling a little. "What about?" I looked over at Abigal and then back to Alice.
"Nothing really.
"Alright well after Abby's done why don't we get back?"
"Yeah." So Alice and I talked as Abigal ate the rest of her ice cream. When she was done Alice got the car and the three of us went home.
"You excited Abby?" Alice said.
"Yeah!" Alice and I laughed. She was excited about everything going on. We got to the house and Jacob came out. I got out of the car and let Abigal out.
"Why hello there. Do I know you?" Jacob said giving me a hug.
"I don't know. Hmm you look a lot like my daughter's father." I looked at him. "Hmmm nope. He's a lot better looking than you. Sorry." We started laughing and he picked Abigal up.
"Nobody's better looking than all this." He said pointing at himself. I just laughed and we all walked inside.
We walked in and the living room was decorated for Abigals birthday. Everyone yelled happy birthday and she just laughed.
"Go give Bella and Edward a hug and say thank you." Jake said as he sat Abigal down. She ran over and hugged them.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome Abby." My dad said.
Abigal's enjoyed her brithday. The pack came over and so did Billy and Charlie. Everyone enjoyed themselves. It was nice to see everyone having a good time. It made me regret leaving even more, even when I had to. Everyone was talking and laughing. I don't think I've ever seen everyone getting along so well.
"Ok. Abigal wait here." Esme said. Her and Alice went into the kitchen. Abigal came over and I picked her up.
"Are you having a good birthday?" I asked.
"Yes." She looked at my mom and dad and then back at me. "Are we leaving gramma and grampa tomrrow?"
"We're not leaving them. We just arn't going to be living in the same house anymore. You can still see them when ever you want ok?" She shook her head.
"Ok Abby!" Alice came out with a pink and white cake with five red candles on it. Abigal had a big smile across her face.
I set Abigal down and she ran over to the table. Alice sat her on the table next to the cake.
"Ok Abs. Close your eyes, make a wish, and blow out the candles." Seth said.
Abigal smiled and then closed her eyes for a moment before blowing the candles out. Everyone clapped and cheered when she did. After Alice set her back down on the floor and began cutting the cake. Abigal got the first piece of course, then Billy and Charlie, then the pack took almmost the rest.
"Al?" I looked over at Alice. "You want some?"
"No thanks. I'm fine."
"You sure? Bella made it."
"I'm fine but save me some ok?"
"Sure." She walked over to me. "You ok?"
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?"
"You just seem like there's something bothering you."
"Nope. I'm fine Alice, really."
"Ok."
She went back and put the rest of the cake away. Not that there was much left to put away anyways. After a little while Jake came over to me.
"Ok...What's on your mind?"
"What?"
"You're worried about something. I know that look."
"It's nothing."
"No it's not. Just tell me Alex."
"Jake just drop it ok? It's nothing to worry about. Promise."
"Alright." He hugged me and Alice started up again.
"Ok Abby. Wanna open your presents now?" She said.
"Ya!" We all laughed.
"Ok. Sit down." Abigal sat back down and I walked over and stood behind her. "Ok. This one's from Esme and Carlise." She unwrapped a box which had a stuffed wolf inside. It looked like Jake. I smiled at the irony.
"She really likes Jacob's wolf form so we thought it was perfect." Carlisle said.
"Abigal what do you say?" I said.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome Abigal." Carlise said.
"Ok. This one's from Edward and Bella." Alice handed her a smaller box.
"With a little help from Jacob." Dad said smiling. Abigal opened it to reveal a silver necklace with two charms on it. One of the Cullen Crest and the other was Jacob's tattoo. I smiled.
"Abigal."
"Thank you gramma, grampa, and daddy!" She went up to mom and dad and hugged them then ran to Jake and he lifted her into the air.
"Your welcome Abby." Mom said.
"You're both a Cullen and a Black." Jake said.
"Look mommy!" Abigal lifted the box towards me. I took it and looked at it. I smiled. The rest of the day was great. Nothing bad happened and I have to say, this was the nicest birthday I think I've ever spent with my family.
