Jasper moved protectively in front of Alice when he felt the sudden change in my mood. A low hiss fought to escape my clenched teeth. Shock ran through my body swiftly changing to an annoyance stronger than any human annoyance I had experienced. Actually it seemed as if all vampire emotions would be stronger than my old human ones. In fact, it almost verged on anger but I refused to let it get the better of me. Vampires don't celebrate their human birthdays but I doubted that would change anything because once Alice gets going nothing can stop her.

In one smooth movement Edward spun me back around to face him, raising a marble hand to delicately stroke my cheek, whilst I got lost, absorbed in his beautiful eyes. I briefly heard two sets of footsteps behind me, one set breaking into a run and leaving the house and the other moving carefully towards me. Gently two strong hands found their way to Renesmee's body and lifted her from my cradled arms and for the first time tonight I felt happy enough to let them take her. I didn't even turn to see who it was; instead I locked my arms, like a vice, around his neck and rose to my tiptoes. Even becoming a vampire hadn't helped my height issues.

We kissed passionately until he whispered in my ear

"Happy Birthday love"

I froze and glared at him, yet I was unable to actually become mad whilst his gaze held mine. In response my favourite crooked smile played across his perfect lips.

"You're even more dazzling when you're angry" he said whilst his hand caressed my silky hair.

Well, now I couldn't even pretend to be angry but part of me was glad to get rid of the sudden rush of blood that would have reached my cheeks at that moment if I hadn't been a vampire.

"Do we have to celebrate my birthday?" I grumbled while turning my best pout on Edward. Alice obviously knew I could have gotten him to change his mind so stepped in to answer the question before him.

"Of course, anyway it's too late now, we've already go you your presents" she sang happy to see that this was a battle she had already won.

I sighed "Let's get this over with then"

"Bella, this is not torture, you are going to enjoy yourself, do you hear me." Control freak, I thought

"Ok"

"Good, Edward how far away is Emmett" she turned towards the door in expectation

"Not far, he will be back in the next one and a half minutes" he replied as his arms once again snaked around my waist. I felt his lips roaming across the back of my neck.

Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to ask, "Where has he gone?"

"You'll have to wait and see love" the lips on my neck mumbled

So I waited. Eventually my ears picked up the sound of Emmett's footsteps but along with them came a tiny heartbeat. Rosalie was stood in the corner with Renesmee so I couldn't understand what was making such a noise. Finally he made it to the room, sporting a large and rather cheesy grin. In his arms he carried a box, only it had holes in it. For breathing, I assumed. So whatever was in the box must have been alive.

He slowly handed the box to me and I looked at it curiously, taking my time.

"It's from all of us" Emmett's booming voice stated

I pulled off the lid to find a small white ball of fluff, with two cautious bright blue eyes staring up at me. It was gorgeous. I had always wanted a pet, a dog mainly but since Renee had been allergic it had been impossibly. A kitten seemed a step in the right direction though.

"Oh my god, it's so sweet, thank you" I cooed and gathered it into my hand, stroking it with the other.

"Does it have a name" I asked wondering what I could call it if it didn't. I quite liked tiger lily but I wasn't sure if it would suit it or what gender the kitten was.

"SHE, doesn't have a name yet, we thought you might like to name her" So it was a girl then.

"Ok, but it might take a while" I said

"Well you can consider it whilst you see you other presents and I can help you name her" Alice said, her voice rising with excitement at the idea of helping choose a name.

"My present next" Edward said

"Wrong, this one is next" Alice said holing up the pink bowed key

Edward glared at her

"I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors" she sang

"Why don't you just tell me who wins?" he replied seeming defeated

"I do. Excellent." She grinned at him and took my hand.

"Your going to love it" she promised before pulling me into a run.
