Two months later…. Bella's Birthday

Danny and I walked into the loft and I gasped, it was gorgeous! "Wow!" There were pink, silver and black streamers and balloons everywhere, and the band in the left side of the room. Music was blaring from the speakers that were set up all around the room. To the right was the buffet and the seating area was near the window. It's perfect.

"Happy Birthday!" shouted Alice. She and Jasper were standing by the entrance.

"Alice, I love it. It's amazing. Thank you so much!" I said hugging her.

"I knew you'd like it!"

Jasper was next. "You look wonderful." He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Thanks." I said and hugged him.

"Happy Birthday Bella!" said Emmett engulfing me a hug. "Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!" He was doing that bouncing thing again.

"Emmett!" I said squealing. He put me down, "Sorry" he said laughing.

"Happy Birthday Bella." Esme said walking up and kissed my cheek. "You look so gorgeous!"

"Thank you Esme."

The greetings and birthday wishes continued for awhile as I made my way around the room.

EPOV

I stood in a corner watching her make her way around the room. She was so beautiful…more than beautiful…there were no words to describe how she looked tonight. She was wearing a blue knee-length dress, her hair had large, loose curls. Alice had done a great job and she looked amazing.

I wanted to walk up to her and pull her into my arms, hold her close to me, smell her hair, to hear her heartbeat, to feel her warmth against me, but that is one thing I couldn't do, the girl in this room, that is not my Bella. She was Danny's Bella, he is the one who got to give her kisses. He is the one who gets to be with her, hold her in his arms, spoil her, spend time with her, many things I couldn't do with her. And he was the one, right now, who was holding her hand while she walked around the room greeting everyone. All I could to watch her from afar.

BPOV

I finished making the rounds greeting everyone. I walked over to the bar and asked the bartender for a sprite.

"Happy Birthday." I heard a velvety voice say. I turned to look at him.

"Edward! You are here!" I smiled giving him a hug.

"Why wouldn't I be?""I didn't see you when I was greeting everyone. I thought you weren't here."

"Bella, I wouldn't miss your birthday."

"Good, I'm so glad your here."

"Are you enjoying your party?"

"Immensely. As always Alice did a fantastic job."

"You look stunning Bella. I think you look amazing in blue."

"Thanks, Alice let me pick it out my dress and shoes."

"ATTENTION EVERYONE!"

"Speaking of the hyper little pixie" I said. Edward laughed.

"ATTENTION!"

Edward and I turned to look at Alice, she was on the stage trying to get everyone's attention.

"Hello everybody, I'm Alice. Let me have your attention for a few minutes. I want to congratulate our Bella, on her birthday. Jasper and I were honored to have been able to plan today, making this her day special. So we are very glad to be here today and to see her celebrate surrounded by friends and family. Bella, we love that we get to make you smile, laugh, and cry for joy today. Lil sis, you are the greatest there is, and your amazing. We'd like to wish you tons of happiness. You deserve it.

I am looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays to come with you, maybe you'll let me go all out next year." She said laughing. "Now I want everyone to enjoy themselves. Eat, drink, dance, be merry and spoil Bella in the process! Happy Birthday Bella!" she shrieked into the microphone. "Oh and Bella, stop crying, you'll ruin your makeup.

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to." I replied loudly. Everyone including myself laughed.

A few minutes later Danny walked over to where I was at. He put one arm behind his back, bowed and held his other hand. "Would you care to dance ma'am?"

I giggled, "Why yes sir, I would." I said taking his hand.

Danny smiled as we walked over to the dance floor. He pulled me close to him and we then began to dance.

I had so much fun. I danced with Danny for several songs, then I danced with my dad, Carlisle, Jasper and now I was dancing with Emmett.

Dancing with him was hilarious. He had been doing the robot, the wave, and now Emmett had his arms up in the air shaking his rear side to side. Everyone had stopped dancing and formed a circle around us watching Emmett, but he was so oblivious to that fact and kept dancing. I had been laughing so hard I was gasping for breath and clutching my sides.

Emmett was now moving his big hands moving them in a circle, bobbing his head.

I fell to my knees, still laughing, clutching my sides. I looked up and saw him put one arm face down, then the other. He flipped one arm over and then the other. I laughed even harder, he was doing the macarena.

Danny was now in front of me with a concerned look on his face. The music stopped and the only sound heard was my laughter.

"Bella, baby, you fell pretty hard. Are you ok? ?"

"Y..yes" I gasped. I was still laughing.

"Bella, breath or you'll pass out." Alice said sternly.

I took a deep breath but ended up bursting into laughter again.

"Emmett…he was so…" I was gasping for air. "so…so.."

Danny sat with me staring until I finally started to calm down. "Are you finished now?" He asked. I smiled and took in a deep breath.

I felt his smooth arms slide around my waist and help me up. "Bella?"

I shook my head yes. "I'm done." Everyone was looking at me like I had lost it. I giggled. This was beyond the best birthday ever.

EPOV

I was watching her again. She was laughing, a few of her girl friends were around her, laughing with her. She glanced over her shoulder and saw me. She smiled and waved.

She turned back to her friends and I heard her excuse herself. She turn away from the girls and made her way towards me.

God she was beautiful. Her brown hair was slowly bouncing up and down as she walked.

She reaches me and smiled at me. "Hi"

"Hello birthday girl" I smiled back at her.

"You know I've noticed that you have stayed in this area practically all night and I am here to fix that." She grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "You are going to dance with me."

I smiled at her. "Yes ma'am"

Bella was leading me out to the dance floor. The previous song ended and slow song began to play.

BPOV

I wrapped my arms around his neck and his arms went around my waist, holding me tight.

I looked up and Edward smiled down at me. We began to sway to the song and I let Edward take the lead.

I've never gone with the wind, just let it flow

Let it take me where it wants to go

Til you open the door, there's so much more

I've never seen it before

I was trying to fly but I couldn't find my wings

But you came along and you changed everything

I forgot what it was like to be held by him, I fit there comfortably. His body felt so good against mine. Oh bad Bella! I try to push those thoughts aside. But dancing with him, being in his arms, felt...it felt nice. My heart was pounding against my rib cage, I took a deep breath and it settled back to a normal rhythm.

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier crazier crazier

Edward pulled one of his hands away from my waist and his left one took my right off his shoulder and our fingers intertwined. He placed our hands against his chest and he pulled me impossibly closer. His left hand slid up to my lower back and a shiver went up my spine.

I watched from a distance as you made life your own

Every sky was your own kind of blue

And I wanted to know how that would feel

And you made it so real

You showed me something that I couldn't see

You opened my eyes and you made me believe.

I rested my head on his chest as we continue to sway to the music. I closed my eyes and turned my face into Edward's shirt, his button-down was soft against my skin. I took a deep breath inhaling his scent.

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes

You make me crazier crazier crazier

He pulled back and I found myself looking up at him again. He smiled his beautiful crooked smile. I loved that smile, it made my heart flutter.

Baby you showed me what livin' is for

I don't wanna hide anymore

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I'm lost in your eyes

You make me crazier crazier crazier crazier crazier.

The music stopped and the room went dark. I was so glad it did. I heard him sigh as he slowly let me go. Everyone started singing Happy Birthday.

Alice and Jasper came through a set of double doors wheeling a cart that held my cake singing happy birthday with everyone else. My cake was so pretty. It was a five layer whimsical lopsided cake. It had light pink icing with hot pink, black and silver fondant stripes and ribbon. Each of the 18 candles on the cake were lit and waiting for me to blow them out.

Everyone finished singing and I went to blow out my candles. I was having trouble blowing them out so I motioned for Danny to help me. Once they were all out everyone clapped and cheered. Alice handed me a knife to cut the first piece then she took over.

After everyone had eaten cake, Rosalie shrieked. "Time for presents!" She went to the present table and Alice sat me down on one of the couches. She sat to the left of me and Danny to the right. Rosalie picked up the gift that was from her and handed it to me. It was a pretty big box. "Try not to get a paper cut." She said winking at me. Everyone laughed except Edward, he glared at Rosalie. I opened it and gasped. "Rosalie!" It was red leather Prada bag with matching wallet and makeup case I wanted. "oh my..I love it."

She smirked. "I know."

"Mine next" Alice said prancing to the table. She picked up a small box, came back, and handed it to me. Inside was a bracelet with a single charm on it. The charm was half a heart with the word Lil Sis and on the other side said Bella & Alice.

"I've got the other half on my bracelet. Mine says Big Sis." squealed Alice. I hugged her. "Thank you, I love it."

Danny grabbed my hand and gently pulled me up. "One of your presents is on the other side of this string." He was grinning, obviously very proud of himself. He handed me the string and I followed it to the double doors and stopped a few feet away. I turned and looked at Danny. "Pull on the string" he said. When I pulled it, Jacob came threw the door. "Bella!" he yelled, picking me up and spinning me around while he hugged me tight.

"JACOB" I said squealing. He put me down. I looked at him, he was taller then ever, his shiny black hair pulled back into a pony tail. "Oh my...your so tall but you haven't changed a bit." I jumped and hugged him. "I MISSED YOU! Oh this is great! We have so much to talk about. How are you? Are you ever going to stop growing? How long are you staying?"

"Whoa, Bells, calm down!" he said laughing. "We'll talk later, promise. You've got more presents to open." We went back to where everyone else was. I walked over to Danny. "Thank you! Thank you!" I said jumping on him. He laughed as we stumbled backwards, falling to the ground. I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye, I didn't care. I gave him kisses all over his face. "Thank you, Danny!"

Everyone was laughing at the sight on the floor. When I finally stopped, Jasper helped me up get myself off of Danny. "Alright birthday girl, back to presents. Here this is from me Bells."I unwrapped my gift and was in awe. It was the picture of us in front of the carousel in a wooden frame with a beautiful design carved on it. "I carved it myself." I looked at Jasper. "Jazz, it's…it's was so pretty. Thank you so much!"

I continued opening presents. I got a blackberry curve from Carlisle, Black leather Jimmy Choo's from Esme, heart shaped earrings and money from Charlie, red Chanel pumps from Lila and Eric, clothes and diamond encrusted watch from Renee & Phil. The next gift handed to me was from Edward. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. Inside was my scrapbook, I opened it to look through it, there were all the pictures Edward had taken away from me the day he left and at the end was my cd. I looked up at Edward and mouthed thank you, he nodded your welcome.

Alice handed me the next two gifts, they were from Danny. Inside the first box was a white gold silver locket. I opened the lock and there was a picture of me on the left and Danny on the right. "Thank you honey, it's gorgeous." I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "put it on me please?"

"Yes and your welcome."

I reached for the other gift and opened it. I gasped and looked at him. "Oh my goodness! Really?" He nodded his head, grinning.

"What is it?" asked Lila.

I took the item out of the box and showed everyone. "It's two tickets to Paris."

"Aww. When are you going?"

Danny answered. "It doesn't have a date. We can go whenever Bella wants."

"Yay, I can't wait." I put the gift down. "I know I have a ton more gifts to open but I'll open them tomorrow. Right now, I think we should go back to dancing and enjoying ourselves. Is that ok with everyone?"

There were lots of nodding and yes's. "Alright then, DJ pump up the music."

The music was now blaring again and people were dancing. I had walked over to the bar and asked the bartender for a dr. pepper. "Here you go miss, and happy birthday"

"Thank you"

I went in the direction of the doors and walked through them into the hallway. I needed a few minutes to myself. I felt overwhelmed. I turned the corner and there was Edward, leaning against the wall.

"Hi" I said softly.

He turned and smiled his crooked smile. "Hi."

"What are you doing out here?"

"I was thinking? What are you doing out here? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." I whispered.

"Bell -"

"Edward, I am fine, I just needed a minute." I walked past Edward and looked out the window.

"A lot things have changed about you but your lying capabilities have not. I know your lying. What is wrong?"

I took a deep breath trying to calm down. "Thank you for returning my stuff, Edward. It meant a lot to me."

"Don't thank me, they're yours, I shouldn't taken them away from you to begin with."

I turned out and looked him in the eyes. "No, you shouldn't have." I said harshly. I felt the tears well up in my eyes, I took a breath to try and stop them.

"If I could erase the decisions I'd made…." He grabbed my hand, slowly caressing it with his thumb. "go back….change things, I would Bella. I know I can't, and it just kills me, I know…" he trailed off.

"Edward?"

"I know that…that if I hadn't left, we'd be together…very happy." he said quietly.

I felt like crying, I didn't know what to say. I gently put my hand on his cheek, stroking it lightly. Edward sighed, leaning into my hand and closing his eyes. He pulled me closer, resting his hands on my back. Our bodies were now touching, our faces were just inches away from each other.

"Bella…" He murmured, looking into my eyes. "I….."

We were standing there in each other's embrace. He bent down about to kiss me…until someone cleared their throat. We looked over and it was Alice. I stepped out of Edward's embrace.

"Bella, you better get back inside. Danny is going to set out to find you in one minute and he won't be to happy to find you here with Edward."

I blushed. "Um….thank you Alice." I walked past Alice back towards the loft and went in. I walked over to Danny and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and smiled. "Hey beautiful, I was just wondering where you had gone to."

"I went to get a minute to myself."

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, of course, with all the excitement I just needed a minute." I smiled. "Now I'm ready to dance again. Want to dance with me?"

"There's no one I'd rather dance with."

I smiled at him and put my hand in his and towed him towards the dance floor, a slow song was playing. I let go of his hand and wrapped my hands around his neck and Danny's hands on my back. We started to move with the soft music. I leaned and put my head against his chest. I didn't think about Edward and our almost kiss. I was enjoying my dance with Danny.

"Thank you for my gifts, honey, I loved them very much. I especially loved that you brought me Jacob."

"Anything for you. I'm glad your happy."

"I am, this was the best birthday ever." And I truly meant it.

This chapter is the longest one yet but was really fun to write. I laughed a lot when I was typing Emmett dancing. I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.

The song is Crazier by Taylor Swift.
