Chapter Fifteen

Scary Birthday

I was sat on the floor, cross-legged, watching my baby girl sleep in her crib. I was pondering on what had happened the last few months. Twelve months ago, I had given birth to my own child, the first of her kind. The last twelve months of my life were the happiest, with my daughter, husband and family by my side. I remembered the first time I breastfed her, Emmelie's first smile, her first laugh, the times I could recognize the change in her crying. Her first word, just a few weeks ago, Emmett's first time changing a diaper, the jokes he did for such a little baby being so dirty. Everything that made the last twelve months magical and I was so glad I had so much more to live through Emmelie's life.

I knew the rest of the family was probably already made the party for Emmelie's first birthday. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning and Emmett had left our cottage already as Alice and Bella had demanded of his help with the surprises they had set up. I knew they tried mostly for me and not only Emmelie –which wouldn't be actually aware of what is happening- I knew my sisters wanted me to remember my baby's special days for the rest of our endless existence and I was so glad for this.

Emmelie opened her eyes and looked around and I took her up in my arms in an instant before she could start whining and crying. She sighed as she recognized the hug and giggled when I nuzzled my nose on her cheek and blew cool air against her jaw and neck. My toddler squealed and wrapped her arms around me.

'Happy birthday, princess, this is your first big day!' I said enthusiastically and Emmelie squealed because of her favorite game, me raising her above the height of my head and then pulling her back to my arms.

'Mummy!' Emmelie squealed and I beamed at my baby saying the most precious word in my universe.

I moved out of my baby girl's room, towards the bathroom where the tub full of water was waiting for the little princess' special, birthday bath. Emmelie giggled at me as I placed her on the counter and she stretched her arms above her head as I took off her little, magenta gown with two little cows on it, then I took off her diaper as she held herself from my shoulders. She then fell in my hug and I took her close to the tub, she sat down carefully and I beamed at my baby girl as she started playing with her bath toys, enjoying herself immensely.

'Mummy! Toys!' Emmelie squealed and I beamed at her and kissed the top of her head as I brushed her back with a pink sponge, not wanting her shivering because of my cool touch against her wet skin. From the day Emmelie said her first word, every day, new words have been added in her vocabulary and it was finally easy for all of us to understand what my baby girl wanted. I smiled at the innocence of her gaze, innocence inherited by her father, she might had my eyes but her gaze was Emmett's, happy, carefree, and loving. I adored my child, I adored every single moment of her life, I adored the ground she had walked on and I knew she loved me back, like she did with Emmett.

Edward once told me that Emmelie adores both me and Emmett and nothing was going to change that, it was the day she was sick because of a cold she had caught, it was months ago when I was losing my mind over a mild fever of hers. I now smiled as my girl took her first Barbie –Jacob's gift as to tease me- and she showed it to me.

'Mummy,' she said and I smiled and nodded my head, she probably thought the doll was me, that would explain why this Barbie was her second favorite toy, after her teddy bear. I grinned at the thought and smiled at my baby as I started tickling her. Knowing she loved being tickled during her bath time and since Emmett wasn't here, I entertained her the best I could.

After our happy time in the bathroom, I brought a big towel around my baby girl and carried her in my bedroom, where I had put the clothes I struggled to decided for this special day. Emmelie started jumping up and down on the mattress while I brought the hairdryer to dry her hair. Emmett lit the fireplace before he left for the Cullen house so the room was already warm for my baby. Emmelie stopped jumping on the mattress and came closer to me as I patted a spot next to me. She flopped down and smiled at me as I brought the towel back around her and started making her hair with the hairdryer and a soft brush for her baby hair.

She enjoyed attention and attentiveness as much as I did so we always had a nice time brushing hair and getting dressed. Emmelie wasn't a moaning child, she always listened when people talked to her and was calm for kid her age. I once was afraid she'd be as loud as her father but she was a very good girl. When we were done with her hair I dressed her up and we moved to her bedroom so she could take her favorite teddy bear from her crib. I took her favorite blanket with us as well as we were going to spend a lot of hours in the Cullen house and she would need to take a nap later on.

When we got out of the house -as always- Emmelie was enchanted by the beauty of the forest, I moved humanly fast as I wanted to see what the rest had set up for my baby girl's birthday. To my greatest dismay; Alice, Esme and Bella left me out of the whole planning process and as Emmett had said "They probably want to surprise you too,', I was sure those were Edward's words so I decided to let them plan whatever they wanted.

When I opened the door of the Cullen house with my keys, I looked around me, no one was in the hall but I could hear movements from deeper in the house. I moved into the living room, smiling, and I was greeted with a decorated room for the party and all the family screaming "happy birthday Emmelie bee" to my child who beamed and squealed as she saw all the colors and everyone calling her name. I beamed at everyone, even Jacob and Seth who were there as well and kissed Emmett's lips as he moved closer first. He took Emmelie from my arms and tossed her carefully in the air, catching her immediately and bringing her close to him. I then noticed Kate and Tanya being there as well and I beamed at them and their decision to come over for Emmelie's birthday. Jasper was in a corner with a video camera in his hand, making sure we'd be able to watch this day again and again.

'Happy Birthday, little minx!' Emmett said and Emmelie giggled and laughed as she finally saw her dad as the last time they saw each other was before Emmelie had fallen asleep in Emmett's hug, last night. Emmett laughed with our baby and kissed her before Alice could snatch our baby from him and take Emmelie in her own hands, beaming at the baby and making funny noises for Emmelie to laugh. The baby passed around everyone, ending up in Esme's loving embrace, even Jacob took Emmelie in his hands and shook her playfully. I just bit my tongue as not to spat a teasing remark about my baby stinking after the embrace, Edward nodded his head as I caught him with the corner of my eye, he was grinning like I did. Tanya and Kate approached me and I smiled at them as we hugged and started catching up.

'How's Carmen and Eleazar? Where is Garrett?' I asked, wanting to know how the Denali clan was going on with two Delegates sent in their house. Tanya smiled and spoke first.

'Carmen and Eleazar are fine, very human and pregnant.' She laughed and I smiled happily as I wanted our "cousins" to find some happiness as well, they deserved it. Carmen was on her eighth month of her pregnancy and she expected a baby boy.

All of us were happy when we learnt the news some months back and we decided then that in a couple of months from now, when we would be migrating again, we would head for the Denali to the house we bought. The property also included two smaller cottages, perfect for me, Emmett and Emmelie and for Edward, Bella and Rennesme respectively. We wouldn't join the covens as that would draw huge attention from the Volturi. The Denalis and the Cullens were already on the spot and even if the Volturis themselves had decided the expanding of the covens, we knew joining the covens wasn't a wise move, not when there are so many gifted vampires in both families.

'Garrett was left behind as Eleazar wanted someone to be with him and Carmen as he doesn't trust Caspar and Amelia, but things are smooth.' Tanya said and I focused back on their words. I nodded my head as I could remember myself feeling delicate while only Caspar and Amelia were here with no other member of the family around.

After our small chat I decided it was time for Emmelie to eat, Bella was ready to feed my girl with her morning baby-food so I moved close to the couch and sat close to my sister who had Emmelie on her lap. Emmelie giggled as I tickled her neck while Bella run the spoon inside the plate with the smashed fruits for my baby. Rennesme moved close to us and sat on the floor as Jacob did as well. The rest were laughing and talking around as the party went on.

It might was a morning party but time didn't really matter to vampires and we needed Emmelie not to be tired from the day so a morning party and then catching up, maybe a walk around the forest for some of us was the perfect schedule.

Bella laughed as she fed Emmelie who willingly took every bite of fruit pulp and chewed it in her toothless little mouth. Bella ran the spoon along Emmelie's lips as little pulp escaped every time and I smiled at my baby and her hunger.

When she was almost done with the pulp, Nessie made a funny face for Emmelie to be entertained with and my little toddler squealed and laughed, rising her hands way too quickly for Bella to take away the plate. The result was another reason for me to be proud of my baby girl. The plate toppled in the air and landed on Jacob's head who was too distracted looking adoringly at Rennesme. Fruit pulp got all over his head, slipping between his hairs. I burst in laugher that was joined by Emmelie's, Bella's and eventually Rennesme's.

'My child took my revenge!' I said between laughing and he just growled at me but brushed his finger playfully against Emmelie's cheek. He stood up and moved to the bathroom as I took my baby girl in my hands and helped her burp, when she did so both Bella and I looked adoringly at my baby girl. It was funny how things had changed the last years.

The party went on and soon the gifts were opened, with Emmett, Bella and Edward on the couch and me on the floor with Emmelie in my hug, opening all the gifts. I absorbed every moment of my baby girl's accelerated face. She was so happy with everyone's gifts and I smiled and thanked everyone for their gifts respectively. We even brought the phone close to Emmelie's ear so she could hear Eleazar, Carmen and Garrett wishing her the best- even if my toddler just tried to chew the speaker with her little mouth.

We laughed as Nessie held Emmelie and they tried to move around the living room, my child's little legs trying to catch up with Rennesme's faster walking. Emmelie was close to fall down but Emmett was there just in time to catch her and place her on his shoulder.

When he moved close I felt Jasper passing me by and I turned my head as to see where he was heading to so urgently. Alice was sat on an armchair, her eyes unfocused, her mouth hugging open in slight shock as she tried to focus even harder, Bella and Edward were already there with her, trying to help her through whatever she was seeing. Emmett and I looked at each other and with Emmelie still on Emmett's shoulder, approached as well.

'Demetri is approaching,' Alice said and I felt my body going rigid, the rest of the family along with Seth and the two Denali sisters were gathered around us in an instant. I was frozen on my spot, this couldn't be a conscience, what a Volturi guard would want from us twelve months after Emmelie's birth and so far from Italy?

'Is he alone?' Carlisle asked and I looked back at my middle sister for her answer. She closed her eyes and tried to focus.

'Yes, I can't see anyone else, he has tracked our sense and he is approaching Rose and Emmett's cottage but he – is changing his course and coming here.' Alice said and Emmett took Emmelie off his shoulder and gave her to me, his arm now snaking around my waist protectively.

'If he's alone, he cannot be any harm,' Esme said but Carlisle spoke.

'If he advanced on someone from here we'll have to fight back and this will be a good enough excuse for the rest of them to come back.' Carlisle said and I nodded my head like the rest did. Bella took Nessie in her arms as the girl wrapped her legs around her mother's waist and held her arms around her neck. Only Bella and I could feel the terror in all its glory, Demetri's visit could mean just an announcement or the condemnation of our daughters for who-knows-what reason this time. Edward knew my thoughts mirrored his wife's so he moved closer and hugged Bella to him, kissing Nessie's little head and smoothing her hair from her face.

'I swear if he touches one hair from Emmie's head….' Emmet started and I could feel his furry almost radiating from my husband's body. Carlisle placed a hand on Emmett's shoulder and I felt crashing waves of calmness from Jasper relaxing us all. Before we could reconsider more things there was a knock on the door and we knew that if Demetri wanted to strike, he wouldn't be knocking the door of our house.

Carlisle and Jasper opened the door and let him in as the rest of us got in position, just in case he dared to do something quickly, not mattering the painful death he would have later on. Bella and I were placed behind everyone. Emmett, Edward, Seth and Jacob were in front of us and Esme, Alice along with Kate and Tanya on the sides, just to make sure. When Demetri laid his crimson eyes on our postures of defense, he smiled and I heard Edward snarl.

'I guess you saw me coming,' he said casually and laid his eyes on the leader of the coven as the protocol spoke of the delegates explaining the reason of their arrivals to the head of the coven, old rules followed by their owners.

'I'm here to pass my wishes and a message from the leaders of the Coven for the celebration of the first year of the first by blood, vampire.' Demetri said officially and I looked down at my "first by blood vampire". Emmelie was still a human, a warm, little, fragile human and sometimes I wished she could stay like this till the end of her physical time but a contract was binding us all to some obligations and I wasn't going to jeopardize the family nor to bring my currently oblivious-to-the-danger-and-fear daughter before any of the Volturis because I thought it'd be better for her to stay human, having Emmelie human would mean her immediate death, like the rest of ours. I remembered Caspar's words right before he had left for the Denalis with Amelia.

"Probably you'll have visits from Volturi delegates through the years as to make sure that everything is fine and processing properly, but do not fear as long as you don't break the contract."

'Thank you, Demetri, pass our thanks to your leaders.' Carlisle answered diplomatically and I sighed in small relief. Demetri opened his cloak and took out a small box.

'This is a gift for the child,' he said, even from behind Emmett, I could see the box was sealed carefully and I wondered for a moment what it was inside, then I thought better of it as I hoped Demetri wasn't here in the first place. Carlisle took the box and gave it to Esme who took it with her turn and opened it, she took out a small medallion with an old vampiric symbol, the symbol Aro had used during his rise to power. I hated the show of superiority of the Volturi, especially when it involved my baby and I hated to be here, pretending I didn't shiver at the thought of that bloody piece of silver around my baby's neck.

'Thank you, Demetri,' Carlisle said again and the Volturi guard smiled and turned his head towards us, he looked between Emmett and Edward, first his eyes flashed as he looked at Rennesme's back, as the girl was still attached on her mother's hug and then his eyes turned on me, he looked at me for a moment and then down at my hands as I held Emmelie who was curious or oblivious enough not to wrap her arms around me in fear and was looking around her, instead.

'I was sent as to pass the wishes, hand the gift and make sure the child looks fine, by the beating of her human heart, I assume everything is OK.' Demetri said and Carlisle smiled. 'Now about the message, the Royale Coven decided for you to have the child turned before her twentieth physical year, they will be waiting for the time to pass by and after it, things will be confirmed, do not ask me how, I'm just the messenger.' The crimson eyed man said and I could see he spoke the truth, this time. I shivered at the way "things will be confirmed", would they send delegates to make sure my child was one of us in a few years? What was going to happen if Emmelie was accidently turned much sooner? I tried to push the thoughts out of my mind as my agony made both me and Edward –who could listen to my thoughts- to lose focus. I could see we all were on the edge. The Delegate looked at Tanya and Kate and the two women bowed their heads slightly.

'I hope everything is fine in Denali,' he said and we all knew he meant the process of Carmen's pregnancy. Tanya nodded her head frantically.

'Everything is going smoothly,' she said and Demetri nodded as Carlisle offered him to stay –out of politeness- but he declined and claimed he had to go back to Italy as fast as he could as some "problems" had occurred with another couple trying to have a child the way Emmett and I had. I shivered on what could have happened to those vampires as to have a Volturi guard to be sent there.

When Demetri was finally out of shot, even Edward's mental shot, only then I released my grip on my child who hadn't minded the least of the ruining of her first birthday. Esme did her best to bring everyone back to normal as she took the box of the medallion away and brought the cake, everyone gathered around the table awkwardly and we all started singing the little song for my baby, with every word of it, we all tried to recover till we sang the last lyrics truly happy. Jasper holding the camera again as we needed a happy way to end this video. Emmelie didn't seem to understand what she had to do so I just blew the little candle of the heart shaped cake and beamed at the camera as my girl giggled while everyone clapped for her.

I then knew that those frights should really become a way of life for me, the family had chosen a path that wouldn't end until Emmelie was turned into one of us. I knew I should be strong, like the rest of us should, for my little girl, who for now was oblivious to the future that was decided for her.

HEhe a babie and a teddy bear are Emmelie's fav toys.... ;)
what u think of little Emmelie? i think she's as fun and hyper as her dad hehe and what you think of her tossingt he plate? hahaha i loved it she took her revenge for Rosalie haha
