"Happy birthday, Isa!" Charlie shouted joyously, putting something down and walked over toward her to give her a warm embrace as she was heading to the kitchen.

"Thank you, Charlie," she said, smiling as she hugged back the man that she loved like a father but no one could ever replace the position of her real dad, not even someone like Charlie.

"I got you a little something. I know you said not to get you anything but how could I not? You're my little girl," he said, his eyes bright as he handed a little box to her that he laid on the table when she walked in earlier.

She opened the present, trying not to look at him while doing so as tears welded up in her eyes as she was remembering when her real dad used to call her his little girl or little princess when she was younger. She gasped when she saw what was in the little velvet box. Her eyes flew up and she met his eyes, allowing the tears to slip now.

"Charlie... you didn't have too. It must have cost you a fortune," she said as she held up the Golden charm bracelet that carried a heart-shaped charm already.

"No, it didn't but I wanted to get you somethin' special just to remind you that no matter what happens, wherever you may be, I will always be here to help you if you need it." He reached over and gingerly took the charm bracelet off her hands. He clasped on the heart, unfastened a lock that she had failed to notice and said,"Look, if you open the heart, you will find a picture of you and me on one side, and you and your dad on the other." He gives her a small smile and gives it back to her.

She started crying again and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the best present I could have never asked from someone!" She quickly wound the bracelet around her wrist all too happily. "I'll never take it off!" She vowed. Calming down, she gave Charlie a full grin.

"Good, glad you liked it. Now, go get ready and head off to school. You wouldn't want to be late," Charlie said, shooing her off, but his eyes were still shining bright. She could tell he was glad that she liked his gift.

"Thanks again, Charlie. It's a lovely gift." She embraced him once more before running off to her bedroom upstairs to get her things. When she walked into the room, she stopped and stared ahead, into the eyes of Edward as he stood in the middle of her room... again, without asking permission if he could come in or not, always assuming that she wanted him here when in reality, she doesn't.

Edward returned her gaze, expecting her to be happy that he was there. "Happy birthday, love," he said trying to ease the tension in the room.

She narrowed her eyes at him. "What the hell are you doing in my room?" She demanded, her eyes widening a little when her true accent slipped through the tiniest bit, hoping to the spirits that he didn't notice her slip up.

Edward stared wide-eyed back at her, wondering why Bella was acting so unladylike until he attempted to hide it quickly, unknown to him that she already saw it as clear as day.

"Alice wanted you to wear this today," he said, holding out the clothes that Alice sent him to give her, all the while, thinking of ways for him could get rid of her attitude.

She forced a smile on her face and took the clothes from him, annoyed that they (especially Alice) didn't think she could dress herself. Even though the clothes she wore for this cover weren't exactly her favorite, they weren't hideous either. So she forced out, "Thank you, Edward. That was very nice of her to do."

"You're welcome, love. Now, hurry up. I'll wait for you outside," he said and gave her a chaste kiss before ducking out the window.

She sighed, annoyed but changed into the outfit anyway, grabbed her things and walked out. Before heading toward the front door, Edward decided she was taking to long and rang on the doorbell. As she shuffled to the door, she shouted to Charlie to acknowledge him that she was leaving before climbing inside Edward's Volvo, already excited for when I finally put my plan into action.
