Edward Point of View

Her giggle drifted through my mind and bounced around off of the inside of my skull. Echoing over and over in my mind. Her brown eyes were filled with a happy glint as she ran around in the big back yard. Emmett chased her around, and "tripped" over a tree root. Bella squealed and hid behind a tree. I laughed as Emmett looked around and couldn't find her.

"Oh, no Edward, I can't find Bella!"

"Oh, no I hope the boogy monster didn't get her!"

Jasper creeped behind her tree and rustled leafs. "Boogy man?" She whisperd.

She turned around and screamed she ran over to me and hugged me. "Boogy man, boogy man!"

I laughed and picked her up and carried her over to Jasper. "No boogy man, just Jasper."

"Jasper?" She whispered into the brush.

He stood up and waved. "You big meanie!"

"He didn't mean to Bella. He was just walking around."

She looked at me, then back to Jasper. Alice opened the back door and walked out, coming straight to us. She picked Bella up from my arms and carried her inside. Today was her birthday, she was turning five, and Alice and Jasper had come back for a short while to celbrate with the family.

They found out nothing in the three weeks that they were gone. Alice had said they were close to finding out the mother's name.

I sighed and ran off into the woods with Emmett and Jasper for a quick hunt before the small birthday party.

Rose Point of View

Alice brought Bella in and she sat her down in a comfy chair in front of the bathroom mirror. She looked up at me and waved before she ducked, and hid her face in her hair. Alice came in with a set of clothes for Bella, and sat them on the counter. "Bella we are going to give you a hair cut today."

"But I don't want to have short hair."

"We aren't going to cut it short, we're just going to cut it a little then it will grow even longer." I said. She sighed and sat still as Alce wetted her hair and snipped her hair two inches shorter. When Alice was done cutting her hair, she blow dried it quickly and put a small amount of curls in it.

"You have to be very still Bella, if you move you might get burnt." She nodded at what I said and sat very still as Alice wrapped her hair in curls. I picked her up when we were done with her hair and I stood her up on the counter. I grabbed the pair of black jeans Alice hadsat out for her and held them out for her to put her feet in. Her small hands held her up as she put her feet in, after I pulled them over her feet she straightened up and I pulled them up and fastened them quickly. I smiled quickly as I unfolded her shirt and pulled it over her head, it was a yellow t-shirt with a giraffe on it. I tickled her quickly and put her black vest out for her to slip her arms through.

I picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom, down the stairs, and back out into the backyard where eveyone was. She wiggled around in my arms, until I sat her down and she took off for Edward's waiting arms. I laughed as She jumped up and wrapped her small arms around his neck. He pulled her up and sat her on his hip, I couldn't help but think that when she got older that they would be a beautiful couple.

Edward's head shot my way, and I got a evil look from him. I guess he didn't really want to let that happen. He wanted Bella to grow up and be human, get married and have her own kids. He didn't want us to interfere in her life. To bad that wasn't going to happen, she was in our lives, and we were in hers. He just had to live with it.

I smiled and walked over to Emmett, I ruffled his hair and he kissed me on the cheek. I laid my head on his chest, and sighed as Alice lit candles on the too huge cake that little Bella wouldn't be able to eat all by herself, and none of us could eat it either. I thought it was funny that Alice always seemed to go out of control, even for a five year olds birthday.

Emmett wrapped his arms around my waist and I smiled as Edward but a finger tip if frosting on Bella's nose. She giggled and tried to get it with her tongue, then decided to reach down and grab a handful of cake and icing, then slapped it all in Edward's hair. Emmett burst with uncontrollable laughter, causing me to double over laughing too. Alice covered her mouth trying to hid her laughter, Jasper grinning the whole time. Esme laughed and her eyes glittered, Carlisle standing beside her his smile was bright.

Edward sat Bella down and she grabbed another piece of cake. She took a bit and smiled, her face covered in frosting. "Yum." She said simply and grabbed two handfuls. She ate more as she walked around the group. She made her way over to me and smiled. She lifted her hand to Emmett and said, "Yum." He bent over and ate a bit of cake from her hand.

"Yum." He said, his face slightly soured. I laughed and looked at her she raised both of her hands and I picked her up. I got cake on my shirt but smiled as she giggled. I carried her in teh house and washed her hands and face, then walked back out to the backyard. Edward was still cakey, so I walked over to the table and got her a plate and a fork. I sat her down on a chair next to the table and walked over to Emmett.

"It wasn't that bad was it?"

"Oh, no. It was... Yum."
