AN: I'm really sorry about the wait guys.

Hunter's POV

I walked around, observing my aunt Alice, as she freaked out.

"HUNTER! HELP! THE GUESTS WILL BE HERE AN A HALF HOUR!" she shrieked trying to drag in party stuff. The DJ table was set up already.

"Calm down Aunt Alice, it's going to be just fine, sheesh!" I helped her carry food to the tables that were set up.

She calmed down, smiling at me, "I'm sorry," she laughed cheerfully, "It's just it's your sixteenth birthday and we want everything to go right, me and rose, she loves you so much." She rubbed my head, causing me to jerk away moaning.

"Okay Aunt Alice, I get it, now let's set up the place," she laughed as we got started.

"I can't believe my parents went for this, what the heck did you say to them?" I raised an eyebrow as she smirked knowingly.

"Guilt card," I laughed with her.

Later

All the guests were pretty much here, except for Kacee and her friend. Just like her to be fashionably late.

I looked towards the door to see a tall brunette walking in with a caramel colored girl behind her.

"Kacee!" I waved, with a crooked grin. She pulled the girl behind her, and waved back.

"Awesome party!" she hugged me, draping a present across my chair."

"Awww…Kacee you didn't have to," I was shocked; I had liked Kacee since I met her.

"Nonsense! Now open it!" she waved her hand dismissively through the air.

By then my whole family was there watching, with knowing smiles, they all knew I liked Kacee.

"Hey Kacee, whose your friend?" Alice asked sincerely. The girl looked up at us for once.

"Oh this is my best friend Hope Black she smiled at hope." My family stiffened, and the girl raised an eyebrow at them. Black? Where had I heard that name before?

"Are you Jacob's daughter?" Edward asked polite as possible. Oh yeah those were the cruddy werewolves, my dad had mentioned before.

"Ummm…" she stuttered,



"Hope's actually adopted," kacee came in. all heads turned to her.

"I'm not adopted; I've just been staying with the blacks since I was little."

Bella started to cry.

"Bella honey, are you alright?" Edward asked sacredly.

"Maybe I should leave?" hope asked turning to walk away.

"No wait!," Bella called out. "Edward!" she sobbed, "Hope is my daughter!"
