Note: The Quileutes and the Cullens were united and had formed their friendship. They planned to surprise Bella and Renesmee for their upcoming birthday. Renesmee's turning seven years old, her adult stage; that's the time her body stops aging. Bella's turning 25 years, and still hates celebrating her birthday.

CHAPTER THREE: PLANS AND PREPARATIONS

Charlie, Sue and Billy went back to the car and waved goodbye to everyone. After the humans left, Edward stood and announced something. "Everyone, again, I would like to thank you all for this special event that made my family very, very happy and of course to you our Quileute friends; but this is just the beginning of celebrations, I've consulted with my sister, Alice, to give my wife, Bella and my daughter, Renesmee a surprise grand banquet for them. Next month will be their birthdays. Renesmee's turning seven years old; that's the time her aging stops and her physical body is more like mines or like her mother's. I want to celebrate that very special occasion with you."

Everyone was very happy and excited at Edward's announcement. They should keep it a secret first.

"I love parties like that! Just like Bella and Edward's wedding a few years ago!" Seth exclaimed.

Jacob was quiet, he was thinking of a special gift for Bella and Renesmee. He doesn't want it to be an ordinary gift. He was thinking of 'extra special' ones. Edward noticed he was strangely quiet, his thoughts were pretty loud so Edward doesn't need to read Jacob's mind, and he went near Jacob.

"Hey Jake."

"Hey" Jacob paused for a minute and scoffed. "I know that you know; it's just so hard thinking of a present for the both of them!" Jacob sighed and Edward pats his back.

"You know, Bella would appreciate simple things, anything; and Renesmee, give her something which comes from your heart." Edward suggested as he watches the waves of the sea. Jacob looked at Edward and asked him. "Can you give me any suggestions? Coz seriously man, that's kinda deep! I still have a month to go." Edward laughed.

Jacob looked at him weirdly. "What's so funny about that?"
"Just give them something unique and special, Jacob."
Jacob sighed. "Oh, man."

The Quileutes were asleep in their camping tents while the rest of the Cullens were hunting in the nearby forest. Bella and Edward were both at Renesmee's side and they watch their daughter sleep. Morning strikes and everyone packed up their things and prepared themselves to go home. The Cullens waved their goodbyes at the Quileutes and went back home.

Bella, Edward and Renesmee went to their small cottage in the forest while Alice and Rosalie were browsing at the internet at home to check for invitations and banquet themes.

"How about pink and purple combination? That suits Bella and Renesmee." Esme said.

"I think Royal Blue and Black are perfect." said Rosalie.

"Silver and Gold, it's quite better." said Alice while continuously browsing.

"Any color combination will do, you know; it doesn't really matter!" Emmett scoffed.

"Of course it is, love. You'll see." Rosalie replied.

"Whatever." Emmett went to the living room and watched television with Jasper and Carlisle.

"Oh women, they always put fashion in everything! It annoys me a bit." Emmett said which made Carlisle and Jasper laugh.

"We can hear you!" shouted Alice, Esme and Rosalie.

Everything was chosen and finally they decided Pink and purple for Renesmee and Black, Gold and Red for Bella. Alice selected the gowns and tuxedos to be used, Rosalie selected the invitations and wrote all the invited guests both vampires, Quileutes and 'selected' humans. Esme called the catering services and selected the "Royal Gala Banquet."

"I reserved the venue at the nearby six-star hotel in Forks; I told them our preferred theme is a Royal Gala Banquet." Esme confirmed them after the phone call and everyone was very happy. "I'll go downtown and order the invitations, I'll also check some new dresses." said Rosalie while writing down the final draft of the invited guests.

"Great, while we prepare for everything; make sure Bella and Renesmee don't come here. They'll find out about the upcoming party and everything will be ruined!" Alice said and she closed her laptop. "And yes, one more thing; let us also forbid Jacob and Renesmee to meet." Alice announced, and the rest of her family was surprised.

"Oh, why Alice?" asked Jasper.

"Jacob shouldn't see Renesmee while she's growing on process this time, it will be her last aging stage. It's going to be a surprise for him, from a sweet baby to a very beautiful lady, I'm sure Jacob will be kind of shocked." Everyone thought of Alice's idea, and they agreed to it.

"Edward should be the one who'll tell him, but what if Bella and Renesmee finds out?" asked Carlisle.

"I've got that arranged, were sending them back to Isle Esme. It's Renesmee's first time going there, I'm sure she'll love that place."

"Indeed, a perfect place for them." said Emmett.

Alice picked up the phone and called Bella and Edward's cottage, Renesmee answered the phone.

"Hello, good afternoon."

"Hello dear, may speak to your Dad please? It's Aunt Alice."

"Oh, Hello Aunt Alice! Okay, just a minute."

Alice heard Renesmee called her dad, Edward picked up the phone.

"…Alice."

"Edward, everything's set. I shall discuss the plans with you."

"Good."

"And by the way, pack your things up a bit. We're sending you away temporarily for just two weeks. You're going back to Isle Esme, so that Nessie will see it too."

"That's totally awesome, who thought up that idea?"

"I did, and also Carlisle. By the way, where's Bella?"

"She's at Renesmee's room, watching DVD. Okay will do, I'm coming over in 10 minutes, and before that, I'll talk to Bella first."

"Okay, see you later." Edward dropped the phone call and went to Renesmee's room and called for Bella. "I'll be back sweetie." Bella said to Renesmee.

"Yes?"

"Alice said we should pack up, were going to have a vacation in Isle Esme."

Bella was surprised. "Wow, really? When?"

"I'm not sure yet, I'm coming over the house and ask Alice for the details and I'm going to give her our passports."

"Okay, wait for me and I'll just change clothes."

"Uh, no Bella, just stay here with Renesmee. I'll surprise her once our flight's confirmed, okay?" Edward winked.

Bella nodded and agreed. "Okay." She kissed Edward and went back to Renesmee's room. Edward dashed himself back to the Cullen house, and went straight to the living room where the rest of them were waiting for him.

"Oh good, you're already here." Alice sat at the living room sofa; she opened her laptop and gave it to Edward. "I'd like to show you these, the gowns and tux, the themes for Bella and Nessie, the catering, decorations, invitations and many more."

"You can suggest for more, Edward." said Rosalie.

Edward was observing the choices they've made and finally approved their choices.

"Everything's perfect. Thank you." Edward said happily.

"Yes and don't forget, the passports. You'll be leaving on Friday night, and be back here before Bella and Renesmee's birthday week." Alice reminded him.

Edward gave Alice their passports. "Of course I will."

Rosalie showed Edward the draft for the invitation, he paused for a while and thought of something. "Edward? Is something wrong?" Rosalie asked.

"No, no. I was just thinking if we're going to invite the Volturi? You know, there will be other human friends around on the party." Edward said worriedly.

"Just send them the invitation, Edward. They'll be offended if they knew about the party and never invited them, they'll see it as rudeness." Carlisle suggested. "And besides, they often go to social parties like these and they're a bit aware that they will be humans around."

"Yes of course, I know that. But what if they'll come? I don't want any trouble." Edward was very worried, thinking the Volturi will cause danger in Forks.

"I don't think so Edward, Aro knows the consequences if he causes any trouble and so as the other Volturi members; he learned his greatest lesson during the confrontation for Renesmee years ago." Jasper was very sure of his statement, even if he calms down Edward, his worries cannot be done by his powers. "So stop worrying." Edward nodded.

"One last thing, Edward." Alice said, and Edward looked back at her.
"Jacob." Alice smiled and Edward thought of the idea and read Alice's mind.

"Leave it to me."

Edward used his Volvo and went to Jacob's house. He knocked and Billy opened the door.

"Edward."

"Good afternoon, Billy. Is Jake there? I need to speak with him, please."

Billy was worried. "Is there any problem?"

"Oh no, nothing's wrong; it's about Renesmee."

Billy was relieved and invited Edward inside their house.

"Take a seat, Edward. Feel at home, I'll just call him."

"Thank you, Billy."

Edward sat on the couch and watched television for the meantime. He heard Billy and Jacob talking behind the kitchen.

"Really? Nessie?"

Jacob went to the living room and looked for Edward.

"Hey Edward."

Edward stood and nods. "Hey Jacob, we need to talk about Renesmee."

"Oh, I thought she's here with you, what about her?" Jacob asked, still quite excited.

"But first let's take a walk at the sea shore, the weather's too perfect."

"Okay then."

Edward and Jacob walked to La Push beach. "So, what about Nessie?"

Edward stopped and he faced Jacob.

"Jacob, we're leaving forks."

Jacob was surprised and kind of shocked. "What?! Why?!"
