Edward and I walked slowly down the stairs. Along the way Alice had put fairy lights around the banister and all the picture frames. We came into view of the living room. Their was a huge table at the middle of the room with seats for each of us around it. I didn't know where it came from. The television wasn't allowed on tonight under Alices' rules so was probably down in the basement with the cars. Edward's piano was moved over to the corner and there was a huge space in the middle of the room. I hope it isn't for dancing, I thought. The table was full of food. I had never seen any thing like it before and only the wolves were eating but after today they were bound to be starving. Everyone was here including Leah, who I thought would have made an excuse not to come and Emily was also here. I guess tonight made a change for her instead of always cooking for the wolves. She could have a bit of fun tonight too. Nessie was sitting on the kitchen worktop where Jake was tickling her. Everyone seemed happy and enjoying themselves and for once I was starting to think this party was a good idea after all. The past few months we had all worked together. The wolves were practically family. They always have been to me but the past couple of months brought us all closer. It felt like they belonged and their was no hatred what so ever. Alice had did a really good job tonight.
"This isn't so bad after all" Edward whispered into my ear.
"I know, I think your starting to read my mind, Edward" I laughed.
Edward walked over to where all the boys where which was gathered around the table because the wolves were eating. Rosalie waved for me to come over. I never thought in a million years my relationship with Rosalie would be this strong but it was and I liked it. No more grudges. I walked over to where all the girls where sitted. Nessie was in Emilys' arms. This was the first time she had ever met Emily and they were getting along really well.
"She's beautiful Bella." Emily commented.
"Thank you Emily. She likes you." I replied.
"I like her too" Emily said looking at Nessie.
"Well what do you think Bella?" Alice asked.
"Alice, it's amazing. I guess having a party was a really good idea. You did a great job" I admitted.
Alice looked shocked.
"Bella, are you feeling okay?"Alice jokingly asked.
"Yes, Alice, i've never been better." I confessed.
"Well, thank you Bella. It means a lot to me that you said that." Alice smiled.
Esme spoke for the first time.
"I'm glad everyone is safe and sound. Today has been a long day and we all got through it. I'm really proud of each and every one of you for standing by each other," she said to me, Rosalie and Alice.
A huge laugh came from the other end of the room. Me and Leah were the first ones to look around at them. Leah smiled at me. The boys were in stitches of laughter.
"What are you all laughing at?" Alice asked.
"We were just remembering the look on Ryan's face before Nessie released her lasers." Jasper answered.
"Out of all the things that could of happened, I missed that" Jake said. "What was it Nessie done anyway?"
"Ask Nessie and she will show you" Carlisle said.
Emily let go of Nessie who walked over to the other end of the room. She jumped into Jakes' arms and touched his cheek. Everything fell silent for a moment.
"Wow!" Jake finally said. "You did that?" He asked Nessie completely shocked.
Nessie nodded.
"Hey, Bella you got the worst end of that tree than Seth and Jared put together" He acknowledged.
"Tell me about it" I laughed.
Nessie was on the ground again making her way back over to where we where.
"KARAOKE TIME" Alice announced.
Nessie planted herself in my arms.
"What?" Everyone echoed at her.
This was really bad but it was so much better than dancing.
"PICK A SONG AND SING ALONG" Alice laughed.
"You have got to be kidding me?" Rosalie protested. I was so on Rosalie's side on this one.
"Ohh C'mon you lot. It'll be fun. Don't worry. We'll not judge!" She announced.
"Why? Why not let me judge?" I offered so not wanting to do this.
"I don't think so Bella. Everyone is singing and that's that. I already know." She beamed.
Of course she would, I thought.
"So who's first?" Alice asked.
Everyone pointed to Edward straight away. After all he was the singer and pianist. Edward laughed and rolled his eyes. He wasn't nervous at all. He was way past that stage. He walked over to the piano and started playing. I had never heard him play the song before and it was because it wasn't one of the songs he had written. I knew the song quite well. Actually it was one of my favourites apart from Edward's and he knew that. It was called Fall for you by Secondhand Serenade. When Edward was finishing the song he looked in my direction while singing,
"Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, Over again, Don't make me change my mind, Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true, Because a girl like you is impossible to find, You're impossible to find."
He sung that song so beautiful I had forgotten it was over. Everyone clapped.
"Who's next?" Alice chirped.
Everyone fell quiet. Rosalie rolled her eyes and stood up.
"I guess i'll go and get this over and done with, Don't laugh" She warned us.
Rosalie gripped the microphone in her hand.
"I'm going to sing this song, well try to sing this song because today during the fight this song popped up in my head." She pressed play on the music. Again I knew the song. It was Tears of an Angel by RyanDan.
"Cover my eyes, Cover my ears, Tell me these words are a lie, It can't be true, That I'm losing you, The sun cannot fall from the sky."
I couldn't believe Rosalie's voice. She was absolutely amazing. I was even more determined not to sing now than I was before. Rosalie never sang and everyone else was just as shocked as me when she started singing. Everyone's jaw dropped and eyes grew wider. She finished the song and stopped the music. Everyone was still quiet. Both the songs where slow considering it was a party but after today emotions where running high and we all had a sort of wake up call. These were songs with emotion explained in the words and they felt so peaceful.
"When I said don't laugh, I didn't mean it. You can laugh now" Rosalie insisted.
She didn't have a clue that she was so good.
"Rose, that was amazing. There is nothing to laugh at" I said.
"All these years and we didn't have a clue that you could sing" Esme quaked.
Rosalie looked shocked as everyone applauded her. She walked back to us and sat down embarrassed.
Time was flying by so quickly. Jasper, Rosalie, Edward, Paul, Jacob, Jared, Quil, Carlisle, and Sam had already sung their songs. I was trying to pretend I wasn't there. How was I ever going to get through this? Ah Ha. I know. I looked at Nessie asleep in my arms. She probably fell asleep during Edward's song. I stood up quietly making sure I didn't wake her.
"I'm just going to put Nessie to bed" I said looking at everyone. They seemed to fall for it.
"Ok, Bella" Alice said.
"Edward, will you come and help me with fixing her bed? I don't want to move her too much" I asked.
"Of course" He said coming to my side as we walked up the stairs.
It was now 1.00am. Edward opened Nessie's bedroom door for me and went over to her bed. He lifted her blanket and fixed her pillows. Nessie had a bedroom in the cottage and at the Cullen's house. She slept wherever she fell asleep. I gently put her down in her bed. Edward tucked her in. Edward and I both kissed her on the forehead. We walked out of her bedroom and gently closed the door behind us. I could hear her light breathing as we were walking back downstairs.
"Oh Yes, Why didn't you warn me that as soon as I walked in through the door tongiht, Nessie was going to tell me Alice wanted me to go up and get dressed?" I asked him remembering I had to consult him.
"I'm sorry, Bella but I wanted to see your reaction. It was so funny" Edward laughed.
"Well at least one of us thought so" I told him.
He gently kissed my cheek. As we entered the living room I noticed that all the food had been eaten.
"I think we are going to head of now. It's getting late" Sam said helping Emily put her coat on.
I guess I made my way out of karaoke, I thought.
"Thanks for coming guys" Alice thanked as the wolves were walking out the door.
"Thank you Sam for everything. It's been a good night. At least now you can enjoy some proper sleep." Carlisle said.
"Finally and yes, I think I can say on behalf of all of us we enjoyed ourselves too. Do you need a hand tidying up before we go?" Sam offered.
"No thanks Sam. We'll get it sorted." Carlisle replied.
"Goodnight guys" I said.
"Goodnight" They replied.
"Goodnight Carlisle" Sam waved.
"Goodnight Sam" Carlisle responded.
Rosalie, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Esme, Carlisle, Jacob and I waved the wolves goodbye. Jacob slept in the Cullen's house every night now. When Nessie slept in the house, in her bedroom, Jake would sleep on the floor in her bedroom but when Nessie slept in the cottage, Jake would sleep in the kitchen of the Cullen's house. He had practically moved in. All the wolves except Sam and of course Jacob ran through the forest. Sam and Emily got into their car and drove of down the lane.
