I pulled into the Clearwater's driveway just as the sun was setting. I stopped short when Quil and Embry jumped in front of the car. They both sat down wagging their tails.
"Go away guys!" Leah yelled at them as we walked passed them. "Jacob told you to stay out of sight! Should I call him and tell him your not listening to him?"
Both Quil and Embry huffed at her, but stood and ran into the forest.
"Ready to party?" Leah asked as she opened the front door for me.
"I don't know how you throw parties." I said uneasy.
Once in the house there was chips and dip in bowls on the coffee table, and streamers with graphic decorations everywhere. "HA! Leah your not serious! Did your mom see this yet?"
"Nope. She's over Sam and Emily's helping out with Jayden."
"Who else is coming?" I asked sitting on the couch. I moved as I pulled a noise maker out from underneath me, and threw it. "That is not going in my mouth." I shook my head.
Leah shrugged. "I invited some of the packs mothers. Quil's mom will bring my mom and Emily here. Paul's mom will be here any minute."
Leah turned to open a bag of lollipops, that like the noise makers, were not going to be in my mouth.
I rolled my eyes.
"Your too tense, Bella. Chill out!" Leah punched my arm, and walked into the other room.
"All this will be cleaned up before my daughter gets here, right?" I asked poking at one of the decorations.
Leah laughed, "Of course! I'm not that perverted." She rolled her eyes.
"Knock knock!" Emily said as she walked through the front door. "Hey Bella!" She smiled as she hugged me.
"How are you feeling? How's the little man?" I asked.
"I'm great, and the baby is even better. I left him with Sam and Paul. Rachel promised me she'd go check up on them."
"She's not coming here?" I asked as we walked to sit on the couch.
"No, Billy's not feeling too well. She's staying home to take care of him since Jacob is out watching over Nessie."
I nodded, understanding, and turned quickly as everyone watched Sue walk in. "What have you done, Leah!" Sue covered her face embarrassed.
"Oh, come on mom! It's fun!" Leah put a noise maker in her mouth and blew into it.
"Get that out of your mouth!" Sue tried not to laugh as she took the dirty shaped toy out of her daughters mouth.
As the party progressed Sue began to relax, or maybe it was from the never ending drinks Leah kept giving her. "Ok next we're going to play a game sorta like pin the tail on the donkey… except it's pin the-"
"Ok, we get it." I said laughing as Leah hung up a picture of a naked man on the wall.
"Mom, first!" Leah called out as she blindfolded her mother. "Ok the only rule is, you have to carry it with your teeth, and use your hands to feel around on the picture." Leah giggled as she watched Sue put it in her mouth and felt her way around the picture.
"Bells… your turn." Emily sang as she dangled the stupid thing in my face.
"No, I'll just watch."
"Come on!" Leah said walking up next to Emily. "You know I'm strong enough to make you play."
I stood facing her, "You wouldn't dare…"
"No, but I'll do this." Leah took the blindfold and tied it around my head.
"Leah!" I forced myself to not rip her apart.
"Open wide…" She chuckled.
I opened my mouth to protest, but that was a mistake. "Edward would kill me if he saw these pictures!" Leah laughed and everyone else laughed along with her. I quickly smelt my way across the room not hitting anything. I smelt the picture, and lifted my hand. My fingers were able to feel the ridges of mans body on the picture easily. I bent over placing the body part where if should be and pulled off the blindfold.
"Now that's how you play." I smiled as everyone looked wide eyed at me.
"Bella, you got it!" Sue clapped as best as she could.
"Well since Bella is the winner, and since she never got a party of her own… sit down." Leah said pushing me towards a chair in the middle of the small living room.
"No way! Absolutely NOT! Sue is the bride to be… let her go!" I moved out of Leah's grasp easily.
"Live a little!" She pleaded with me, and shoved me into the chair.
"I don't want to!" I stood to move, but the front door flew open and a very muscular man walked through the door. He had on fireman paints and suspenders on and the hat. "Oh, great." I said, rolling my eyes. "You have to be kidding me!"
All the other women began to cheer and whistle. I looked at Emily who was waving a dollar bill in the air.
"Em! You just had a baby, and your FINACE is home taking care of him!" I hissed at her.
"It's innocent fun Bella. It's not like your cheating on Edward." Emily looked away from me and towards the very muscular man who placed his boom box on the floor and hit play.
"Her first." Leah said pointing to me.
He smiled at me, and took a step in my direction. I moved back stepping on the chair and jumped off the back of it. He laughed and raised his eyebrows. "So, your acrobatic, sexy. Come here honey, I'll show you acrobats."
Everyone laughed as he flung the chair to the other side of the room. There was nothing between us now. He took another step closer and moved to the music. I bit my bottom lip.
He took my hand and lead me to another chair someone sat in the middle of the room again.
"I must say, you are remarkably beautiful. I'm almost embarrassed to do this for you." He said in a voice so sexy it couldn't have been legal.
"I… Uh.. Well you, yo-you-"
He put his finger against my lips. "Shh… no need for words darling. Just relax. Have you ever had a lap dance?" He asked as he moved over me. I locked my eyes in his as he straddled my lap, not letting myself look straight in front of me.
I shook my head no because his finger was still pressed against my lips.
He smiled down at me as he moved to the music again.
I shut my eyes as he grabbed into his pants. I heard the fabric rip, and everyone whistled. His hands rested on my shoulders and moved down my arms. He lifted my hands to touch his hips, but I pulled them back too quickly.
"No thank you." I said squeezing my eyes shut tighter. "I think it's time for Sue." I opened one of my eyes and gasped. Mr. Muscles was shaking himself in front of me and I moved out of the danger zone. "The bride…" I said pushing Sue into the middle of the room. She shook her head and went to walk away.
"Someone better get in this chair." He said dancing towards Sue. I sighed when I was no longer in the spotlight.
"Your dog food." I mumbled into Leah's ear.
"You liked it!" She laughed reaching out in front of her and placed a dollar bill in the back of his thong.
"I need some fresh air." I said as I stood up to walk out of the house.
As soon as I shut the front door behind me I shivered. "That was beyond gross." I grumbled as I sat on the front step. "So she did get a stripper." Jacob said as he walked into the light from the front window.
"You knew about that?" I asked moving over so he could sit next to me.
"That I did. I was curious to see how you reacted. I saw the whole thing. So did the hubby."
"WHAT?!" I yelled standing up and leaning over Jacob.
"Hey, Bells, relax. He's not mad. He knew about it too. Leah wasn't able to keep everything from him. He let you have your fun, but wanted to linger in case the guy made a move… overprotective leech. See that tree?" Jacob pointed to an empty space on the other side of the driveway.
"No…" I said looking back at him.
"That's because Edward killed it. He looked through the window as Mr. Fire-in-his-pants danced over you. I thought it was hilarious…" Jacob trailed off as he bent over laughing. "Your face was priceless!"
"Where's Edward now?"
"He went back to your place. Didn't want to leave Renesmee alone without me or him watching out for her. He made me stay here to keep and eye on you…" Jacob pinched my cheek, and I pulled away from him. "You wild partying vampire you!"
"Shut it Jake!"
"Go back in and enjoy the party. Edward will be bringing Nessie over in a few hours." Jacob got up and walked towards the trees. "I'll be around… I'm watching you." He laughed as he ducked into the forest.
I went back to the party, and it was Leah's turn in the chair. Sue stood in the corner laughing as she snapped pictures. I couldn't wait to see how they turned out since Sue was pointing the camera in any direction but where people were.
The party slowed down once the stripper left. We sat laughing at Sue as she stumbled around the living room. I heard Edwards car pull in the driveway and stood up to walk outside.
"Hey guys!" I smiled as Renesmee leaped out of the backseat and ran over to me.
"Hi mommy!" She said as I took her in my arms.
"There's a child here, remember that." I said as Edward walked around the car towards me.
He paused, and smiled before he fluttered towards me.
"I'm fine." He whispered, and kissed my cheek.
"Everything cleaned up?" Edward asked taking Renesmee out of my arms as we walked towards the house.
"No, I figured Ness could play pin the you-know-what on the you-know-who." I rolled my eyes. "Maybe she could beat me." I laughed and winked at him.
Edward rolled his eyes, and smirked at me. He followed me into the house.
"Another one?" Sue mumbled as she stumbled back into the living room.
"No, just me Sue." Edward said holding Renesmee closer to him. She looked around the room confused.
"That's ok, come on Edward! Show us what you got!" Leah threw her head back laughing.
"Or not." I snapped at her. "My daughter is here. Time to stop the dirty jokes. That's her father your talking about."
"Fine… whatever." Leah grumbled as she slumped down into the couch.
"What are you going to show them, daddy?" Renesmee asked.
Edward shifted her in his arms and growled at Leah. "Nothing, sweetie. Don't worry about it." Edward turned to look at me. "Maybe I should take her home."
"No! I want to stay!" Renesmee wiggled and Edward put her down. He watched her closely as she wondered around the room. The room got quiet as Sue passed out on the chair along with some of the others. The only ones awake were Leah, Emily, and I since we were the only ones not drinking.
"See everything's fine. Party is over. They are safe here, Edward. You can go home now." Leah said.
"These are good!" Renesmee said as she walked out of the kitchen with a lollipop stick hanging out of her mouth.
I bit my bottom lip.
Leah and Emily burst out laughing.
"What?" Renesmee asked as she pilled the lollipop out of her mouth. Edward saw what it was and growled, and I felt his eyes burning into my back. "What is it?" Renesmee asked turning it in her hand as she examined it.
I took it away from her, and shoved it in my mouth and bit down on it. "Hey! That was mine!"
"That was an adult lollipop." Edward said as he walked over to her and covered her ears.
"Our daughter just had a lollipop shaped as a-"
"I know! But she doesn't understand what it was! Let it go. We have everything else put away. I cant help it that she can scope out candy wherever she is." I made a face as I finished chewing the gross tasting candy.
"Swallow it." Edward laughed as he watched me struggle to not spit out the candy. "Gross huh. That's what you get."
"Are you guys fighting?" Renesmee asked looking up at Edward.
He took his hands off her ears. "No just an adult conversation."
"I cant wait till I'm grown up." Renesmee mumbled as she walked over to the couch, and Emily pulled her onto her lap.
"I can." Edward mumbled as she covered his face with his hands.
"She's fine. I'm fine. Go home." I said, kissing him.
Edward sighed against my lips. "Come home."
"I cant. Plus my fathers there."
"So."
"No." I smiled against his lips.
"Gross!" Renesmee pretended to gag on Emily's lap, and her and Leah burst out laughing.
"You keep saying that." Edward said as he walked over to her and took her face in his hands.
"I will!" She smiled up at him and he kissed her forehead.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning." He said kissing me once more.
"Miss you already." I smiled.
"Miss you more."
Renesmee gagged again and I leaned around Edward to glare at her. She leaned back against Emily as they laughed again.
"Party time!" Renesmee said as soon as Edward was out the door and she heard his car pull out of the driveway. She jumped around on the couch, leaping over Emily and Leah.
"Bedtime." I laughed catching her mid-leap.
"What? I didn't get to party!"
"When it's your turn to get married you will party with us." Leah winked at her.
"Eww… I'm never getting married. Too much drama." Renesmee rolled her eyes.
"Your father will be happy to hear that." I laughed. I took Renesmee into Seth's room and tucked her in. "I'll be in to check on you in a little while."
"Your going to stay in here with me tonight?"
"Sure, but I'm going to talk with Leah and Emily for a little while."
Renesmee nodded, and I kissed her goodnight. She rolled over and closed her eyes.
