The Surprises
As soon as I got to grandma Swan's she took the key and opened the door. She told me to follow her upstairs and then I did. She led me to a little small room on the right side of the hallway that was just perfect for me. My room had already been set up. I'm guessing daddy had shipped all the stuff here already. There was already a bed and dresser here though. It just felt strange because I wasn't used to it. Momma bought my suitcases in and laid them on my bed then momma and grandma closed the door so I could have some alone time. The first thing I did when they left was search the suitcases to find which one had the little bag in it. I found the little red bag and opened it up inside was a card and something else. I opened to read the card as best I could. It read.
Hey Bells, I know your leaving town soon to go live with your dad's mom. I really wish you could find some way to stay. I'm really going to miss you. Playing in the sand at the beach and making mud pies at the fishing whole when we would fish with my dad and your dad. I know when you leave I'm going to be sad. I'm already crying thinking about this. By the way you know I'm not good with spelling so I had my daddy help me write this. Well I hope you have fun at your new house and promise me Bell's you will never forget about me. I love you.
Ps. There's a surprise in the bag I hope you like it Billy taught me how to carve stuff.
Signed Jacob Black your best friend.
I kept reading it over and over. Momma used to say I was a good reader for this age. Most people couldn't read at three but I could. I put the card under my pillow and reached in the bag to see what the surprise was. It was a wolf bracelet that had been carved out of wood. On the back it said Best Friends Forever. It was so beautiful I put the bracelet on and lay on the bed dreaming of my Jacob.
Valentine's Day.
Today is Valentine's Day and I'm just waking up. Momma comes in my room and says there's a surprise in the mailbox for me. Momma walks me down to the end of the driveway and opens it up then hands me two cards. One's a pink envelope that says for my little girl. It must be from daddy I said to myself. I open up the card.
Dear Bella,
It feels like forever since I've seen you. I hope that I get to see you very soon. I wish you a happy Valentine's Day. I hope you enjoyed the Christmas present I sent you. Love your daddy.
I smile at the thought of how my dad didn't forget about me. He misses me to. I really do miss my daddy I feels like forever even though it's only been like 6 months
Flashback of the First Christmas without Daddy and Jacob:
Today's Christmas. It's so different. I'm not used to having Christmas without my dad. My dad always Invited Uncle Billy and Jacob over for Christmas. They were like Family to us. They never really had much of a Christmas ever since Jacob's mom had died at the birth of Jacob. Well that's what Jacob was told. So we would all exchange gifts as a family every year. But this year would be different. There would be no Jacob, no dad and no Billy. This year it would be me, momma and Grandma Swan. It only made me wonder. I wonder how Jacob and my dad are doing. I know that Jacob would probably be okay because he has his dad but who does my dad have. He doesn't have me or my mom. He has no one. Well that's not exactly true. Maybe he still will invite Billy and Jacob over this year for Christmas. Maybe if momma lets me I can give them both a call later today.
Grandma Swan was already down stairs baking cookies. She asked me did I want to help. I got to sprinkle the sprinkles on top of the sugar cookies. I ate one. They were very good. Then momma woke up and came down stairs and we all opened presents. This year I thought that I would use what grandma Swan taught me. I told my mom that presents came from the heart and that I would make everyone a card. That included momma, grandma, daddy, Jacob and even Billy. I had made all my cards last week adding beads and decorations. Momma helped me send the cards out to daddy, Jacob and Billy and Then I went in my room to wrap hers and grandmas. When we opened presents Grandma and Momma said they loved there cards. We all had a pretty good time. Then I was just about to go upstairs when momma said there was a little box outside for me. Momma brought the box in and that's when I saw it. A box from dad. Dear Bella Thanks for the card. I wanted to wish you, your mom, and my mom a Merry Christmas. Here's a gift for you. He got me a charm bracelet with me and his picture in it. It was so beautiful. At the bottom was a little bag. I opened it to see that it was from Jacob. He had given me another wolf charm with my initials carved on the back to add to my bracelet that I still wore every day. I took it out the bag and added it to my bracelet then took all my stuff upstairs. That night momma gave me the phone and I called daddy. He told me that he loved and missed me and would give Jacob the number to call me when he wasn't busy I told him to tell him I said hi and he said he would.
End of Flashback.
Then I looked at the present from Jacob. It was a simple card in the shape of a red card heart said will you be my valentine's? I really miss you. I made him a card back and said yes with a smiley face I was so happy.
Its September now it's been like a year since I've seen anyone since we have moved. It's my birthday September 13. Once again dad and Jacob sent me a gift. I've just turned four. It's been one year and I really miss the Family. Hopefully I can go and see them soon. Momma gets me an ice cream cake and we have a party it's really fun. Daddy calls me to tell me that he loves me and tells me that Jacob says that he misses me a lot. I tell him to say the same back. If only I was really home.
