Chapter 19 – 1st Birthday Party
(Edward's P.O.V.)
~1 Year Later~
My daughter Belle is a year old today. My wife and I took our daughter to Beauty & The Beast on Ice. We have been taking tons of photos. It is unbelievable how the eleven months flew by. She is the cutest girl in the whole world, and she's got everyone in the palm of her hand.
Esme, Alice, Rosalie, Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett were back at home decorating for Belle's birthday party. It would be the best birthday party a girl could have with Alice in charge.
"I love you my dear Belle," my wife said as she kissed our daughters head.
How perfect my life is with my beautiful Bella, and our adorable one-year-old daughter.
"Edward, its over lets get back home so she can finally deal with Alice's torture, I mean the surprise" my wife giggled.
We all loved Alice to death (sorry for the pun), but she went overboard on things, this was one of them.
I laughed right along with her. We got in the car and started driving away from Seattle. It would be an hour before we would arrive home.
I held onto my wife's hands, and remembered every single moment I have had with her. She truly is a blessing to me, and everyone else that she meets. When I started thinking of those memories, I remembered when we first adopted our daughter. She was so tiny, and fragile. Now she is growing up and still fragile. She was all ready crawling. She hadn't started talking though. I don't know what was scarier, the thought of her crawling all ready or getting ready to start talking. She was growing so fast.
My daughter laughing and saying 'Momma' pulled me out of my thoughts. My wife and I just looked at each other with smiles on our faces. She finally talked.
"Belle can you say 'Daddy'" I asked hoping she would.
Bella just laughed knowing I was happy that she talked and said her name, but also knowing I was slightly jealous she hadn't said my name yet.
"Dada" She giggled again.
I laughed with her knowing that was as much as I would get her to say right now.
"Oh Edward she finally talked" my wife beamed with all the happiness in the world.
"I know love, wait till Alice hears. She will be teaching our daughter the rules of shopping" I chuckled as we pulled into the driveway.
Sure enough Alice was jumping with excitement on the porch. She must have seen this, and was eager to teach her the rules and begin Belle's birthday party.
Bella and I just laughed, as I got our daughter out of her car seat and walked towards Alice.
"" Alice yelled out fastly.
"Alice chill. Yes she did talk, but you're not teaching our daughter that yet. She's too young, and I just want to get this party out of the way so I can lay my daughter down for a nap" Bella said kindly but with authority.
"Fine" Alice sighed, as she brought us in the house. It must have not made her sad, because the minute we stepped in the house her and the family jumped out and said surprise.
My daughter was amused with this and began to laugh. So began our daughters first birthday.
(Alice's P.O.V.)
As soon as they arrived I was jumping at them with excitement. You would be too if you loved to shop and your niece started talking.
Bella told me no for now, but I would teach her later. I walked in the house fast, so when they walked in everyone shouted surprise. Belle liked it, and let us know by her laughing.
We all sat down, and began handing Bella and Edward gifts from us.
Emmett got her a 12-inch plushy teddy bear. Rosalie got her plastic toy set of tools. Jasper got her a book that talked about emotions (it was very ironic; I'll tell you that. But that was my husband for ya). Esme got her a set of bathe stuff. Carlisle got her a Belle Barbie doll. Bella got her daughter a bracelet that had tiny Crystals all over it. Edward got her a locket that had a picture of all three of them in it.
Now it was my turn. They opened it up and just laughed. They must of known I would be getting her something like this. I got her a few packs of 1-zies and baby clothes that would match some of Rosalie's, Esme's, Bella's and my clothes. I thought it was the best a girl could get.
"Thanks everybody. Now where is my daughter's cake?" Bella teased, trying to fit in with the role I guess.
That did it, everybody just laughed as I walked out of the room with a huge smile on my face.
Of course I was the first one to run into the kitchen, I grabbed it and brought it to the dinning room table, so Belle, Bella and Edward could blow out the candles.
My husband grabbed the camera, and took pictures as they blew the candles out and cut the cake. It was truly a special birthday for my niece. She would be thanking me when she is older.
(Bella's P.O.V.)
Once the party was over Edward and I took our daughter, plus her gifts to our room. She was due for a nap, and if she didn't sleep now she would be very crabby later.
I laid our angel down in her crib, and tipped toed out of the room so she would sleep.
"Honey, can you believe she is one all ready?" I asked with a smile on my face. My daughter was growing up so fast.
"No I can't. Our angel is growing up way to fast. If it was up to me I would keep her a tiny baby for a while" he smirked, as he smiled my favorite crooked smile of his.
"I hear you, but that won't ever happen." I smirked back. "How about you finish teaching me those ballroom dancing steps?"
"Sounds good. Lets go in the other room so we don't wake her up" he grinned from ear to ear, as he led the way.
Tonight would be another fun night with my husband. Every moment I was with him and my daughter was a piece of heaven.
The next Chapter I'm adding is the last. Its sad, but i figured it was time to end it. I have other stories on my page that you can check out :D Thanks 4 taking the time to read these chapters :D I appreciate it!!!!
