"Balloons?" I asked going through the list of items for Renesmee's birthday party.

"Check." Alice answered into the phone.

"Cake?" I asked pacing back and forth in the living room. Trying to keep my voice low because Renesmee was sleeping in her room. The party was a surprise, so I didn't want her to hear me.

"Bella you of all people should know I have everything under control." Alice laughed

"Ok, your right." I sighed. "Oh, Alice?"

"Yeah."

"She's just a child… remember that."

I could imagine her rolling her eyes, "Bye Bella." She said quickly before hanging up the phone.

I hung up the phone and sat on the couch. Looking around the room I let my mind wonder. I couldn't believe It's been a year since Renesmee was born. I was just getting over the shock of being married for a year. Now we were celebrating my baby's first birthday. It was more of a 6th birthday, but it doesn't matter.

"That was quick." Edward said noticing I wasn't on the phone anymore.

"Just some last minute party stuff." I said standing up to kiss him. "How was hunting with the guys?" I asked touching his cheeks which were slightly flushed.

"Caught me a mountain lion or two." He said proudly, "You still going out with Alice, Rosalie, and Esme?" He asked as I followed him into our bedroom.

I sat on the bed watching him undress, and walk into the closet to find fresh clothes.

"Yup, we're leaving as soon as Jacob comes to pick up Renesmee. Him and Charlie are taking her to the park. Then bringing her to the house at 2. "

"That sounds fun." He said walking out of the closet he was about to pull his shirt over his head, but I was suddenly standing in front of him.

"Please don't do that." I said softly.

He looked down at me smiling, "And why not?"

"I like you better like this." I kissed his bare chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer, and I was in no rush to protest.

He leaned down so he could whisper into my ear, "But what would everyone else at our daughter's birthday party think if I walked around half naked?"

"Or half dressed." I struggled to keep my voice from breaking. He laughed taking a step back to pull the shirt over his head.

"I'll see you later." He said leaning over to kiss me. I quickly locked my arms around his neck so he wouldn't pull away. To my surprise he didn't fight me. His lips welcomed mine more fiercely. "I really have to go." He mumbled still attached to my lips.

I gave him one more kiss before I pushed him away.

"Fine, I see how it is." I joked turning to walk out of the room. I looked over my shoulder shaking my hips (something I almost never do) as I walked. "Your brothers are more important." I turned my head back around so he couldn't see me smiling.

I felt his hands on my hips pulling me back to him.

"Why must you do that?" He asked tightening his grasp. If I were still human he would have crushed all the bones in my hips. He kissed my neck almost purring.

"Mamma." Renesmee's groggy voice called from her room.

"Duty calls." I sighed pulling Edwards hands off my hips. He let out a grunt, but followed me into the hall. With a quick goodbye he was out the door. Renesmee thought he was going to be gone hunting all day, so he didn't want her to see him.

"Morning Sunshine." I smiled as I walked into her room. "How was your nap?" I walked over to her window to open the shades. I squinted at the bright sunlight, realizing for the first time that it was a fairly sunny day. Even though it was August, Forks rarely has a beautiful sunny day.

"Pretty mommy." Renesmee smiled widely standing up on her bed pointing at me. She bounced a few times before jumping off her bed. Her curls flowing wildly around her. She skipped over to me, and stood next to me in the sun. Her skin showed little to no resemblance to mine, and this always upset her.

"Your pretty too." I simply stated taking her arm in my hand, and kissing the back of her hand.

I got Renesmee ready for her day at the park. Once again we stood in her closet arguing over what she was going to wear. "You spend way to much time with your Aunt."

I shook my head at the outfit she was holding up. It was a short plaid pink shirt with a whit little button up shirt, and matching plaid scarf to wrap around her neck.

"But I like it." She winded jumping up on down.

"Your father will have my head if I put you in a skirt that tiny." I looked around her closet for something to put under her skirt. Satisfied, I came across a white pair of leggings. With my luck she agreed to wear them under her skirt. I was helping her fasten her matching white and pink sandals, when I heard Jacob and Charlie talking as they walked up to the cottage. Renesmee heard them once they got a little closer, and she raced out of her room.

"Nessie I'm not done with your hair!" I called after her.

By the time I walked into the living room she was already in Charlie's arms. "Happy Birthday angel-face." He said hugging her. He placed her back on the floor, and she was off running into Jacobs arms.

"Hey squirt!" He tossed her in the air, catching her on the way down, and swung her across his back. She squealed with delight holding onto him tightly. Her hands looked even smaller against his muscles. Jacob was dressed for the warm weather in a green tank, and cutoffs. My father as always in jeans and a plaid flannel shirt. After the happy birthdays were out of the way I took a brush and quickly combed her hair. I pulled the top part into a ponytail tying it with a pink and white bow. She kissed my cheek, and turned running out the front door. When I knew her and Jake were out of hearing range I turned to Charlie.

"2:00." He nodded, and turned to walk out the door.

"We will see you then." I followed him to the door and stepped outside. He turned to kiss me goodbye, but jumped back. I forgot he never saw me in the sun. Never being around people I've never had to hide. I was always around people who knew what I am.

"Freaky huh?" Jacob asked walking up to us With Renesmee sitting on his foot, her arms and legs wrapped around his ankle.

"It's…" I couldn't tell if his facial expression was shock or horror. "It's stunning." He finally said. He raised his hand to touch my face. "It's like a zillion diamonds." He hesitated before touching my cheek.

"I know, right." I laughed

"Are you all like this?" He asked turning quickly to look at Renesmee. He pointed to her and looked back at me confused.

"She is half human." I shrugged. "Ok off you go, don't want to spend all day around here." I gestured for them to leave. Charlie hesitated before kissing my cheek, but smiled to himself when he did. I laughed, "See you guys later!" I waved as they were walking out of sight. "Don't let her get dirty!" I yelled after them. I knew Charlie couldn't hear me, but Jacob could.
