Ok, as I stated on the sldl forum, I'm jumping ahead this chapter. Also someone--I don't remember their name--asked me how Emmett and Rosalie have a daughter because they're vampires. Well to answer your question, Alyssa is not Emmett and Rosalie's biological daughter. If you read Forever Young than you would have known the answer. Alyssa's parents were killed during Victoria's rampage in Seattle. When Alyssa's grandmother died she had no where else to go, so Carlisle and Esme took her in. Then gave her to Rosalie and Emmett since they knew how much Rosalie wanted a baby.

Hope that answered your qustion!

Also I want to thank Shante for her help with the cars in this chapter! I will post links to the cars I have written about on the sldl forum. Once again the link is on my profile. That will lead you to the main page. Click on the tab that says forum and scroll down to the fanfiction section. You can sign up to the boards and let me know what you think! I love to hear feedback on my stories, and there is plenty more to comment on in the forum. See you around!

"Happy Birthday, Mom!" I tried sounding excited for her. My birthday was three days ago. I was sixteen, well, technically I was twelve, but no one thinks that way anymore. My sixteenth birthday came and went without a sweet sixteen. Alyssa had one a month ago for her birthday. My aunt and Uncle got her a pink Mustang GT, convertible! It's not fair. Just because I'm technically twelve doesn't mean I'm not ready to drive. I am!

"I don't need to celebrate my birthday anymore. I stopped counting after you were born." She huffed.

"You're thirty-two, Bells." Jacob snorted. I spun around to see him leaning against the doorframe.

"Shut it." My mom snapped.

"Hi!" I smiled widely and ran into his arms.

"Hi," he chuckled.

My dad walked into the kitchen and swept my mom's hair off the back of her neck, kissing her there. "You should know me well enough. I never let you forget your birthday."

"I know," my mom groaned. "But no parties!" She turned in his arms and looked up at his face.

He shrugged.

"Edward!" She wined, but he silenced her with a kiss.

"Come on, I'll bring you to school." Jacob kissed the top of my head.

I sighed. "Sure, since Alyssa gets to drive herself because she got her permit and can drive her new Mustang GT to school!" I turned towards my parents.

My dad stopped kissing my mom and looked at me. "I'm sorry, Ness, but you're too young. Alyssa is sixteen and she can only drive her car with one of her parents with her."

"So," I mumbled. "At least she can drive her own car!"

"You're too young." My dad shook his head.

"No, I'm not!"

Jacob yanked at my arm. "Ok, before this turns into anything bigger than what it is, I'm taking you to school."

"You can take your mothers car if you want." My dad offered. My father had gotten her a new car for her birthday. To make things even worse for me. He gives the only vampire in the world who hates cars, a brand new Aston Martin DBS Volante. It was red, it was a convertible, and it was gorgeous.

I rolled my eyes. "Right, because taking my mothers car makes it all better."

"Ok, then take mine." My dad grumbled.

"Fine! Because--" Jacob clapped his hand over my mouth.

"No, no. We'll take Bella's car. Don't listen to her." Jacob backed out of the kitchen dragging me with him. His hand still over my mouth.

"I can't believe we're going to be seniors next year!" Derek gushed. We sat at our regular lunch table and I poked at my hotdog.

"I know," I sighed.

"You ok?" Derek poked my arm with his fork.

"I'm fine," I sighed.

"Ok, well if you're fine than I'd hate to see what you look like upset." Derek laughed at himself.

I rolled my eyes and slapped the back of his head before getting up to throw my tray away.

"Nessie, I'm sorry if I upset you more than you're… not." Derek fumbled over his words.

"So are we set for Bella's party this weekend?" Derek asked as we walked outside. I was glad school was over. I nodded and searched for the only person that could make me feel better.

Jacob was leaning against my mom's car as he watched me. I smiled and waved as I hurried over to him. As soon as Jacob's arms were around me, my whole day faded away. I forgot why I was so upset.

"Are you ready?" Jacob asked as he knocked on my door. Today was my mother's party. We were all meeting up at my grandparents house. My parents went ahead and Jacob was going to walk me there. I checked my hair once more in the mirror and fixed my red cocktail dress.

"Ready," I said as I opened the door.

"Wow, Miss. Cullen, you look… words can't describe how you look." Jacob's eyes studied every part of me. I smiled.

"Are we going to stand here all night?" I asked after a few moments.

"N-no, sorry." Jacob took my hand and we walked outside.

The sun was still warm for September. We walked hand in hand towards my grandparents house. Once we got closer I could hear the steady beat of the music. Aunt Alice was at it again. The music softened as we walked up the stairs, and Jacob reached for the front door. He swung it open and I stepped inside. Everyone clapped and yelled, "Surprise!"

I jumped back and Jacob placed his hands on my shoulders. His lips were at my ear. "Happy sweet sixteen, honey"

The tears filled my eyes as I searched for my amazing parents. My dad stood behind my mom with his arms wrapped around her. They crossed the room slowly and I noticed all my human friends standing around. "Did you think I would throw your mother a party over my little party queen?" My dad smiled.

I threw my arms around his waist. "This is amazing! Thank you, Dad!"

"I can't believe how big you are." My grandpa Swan pulled me against him. "You look so grown up." He smile.

"I'm so glad you came. Thanks Grandpa." I hugged him and Sue. Then made my way down the line.

I made my way around the party saying hi to everyone and dancing to the music. I smiled when I saw Derek. "Hey," I said sneaking up behind him and squeezing his waist. "So, you knew about this and didn't tell me?"

"No way! You're parents put me in charge of letting all our friends know, but they told me not to tell you. You really think I would go against your parents wishes? Yeah, right. I'd do just about anything your family asks me. I don't want to be an appetizer!"

I laughed and rolled my eyes. "Well, thank you." I said, hugging him.

Derek pulled me out to where some of the others were dancing. I joined in with my friends, but I kept my eye on Jacob as he watched me from across the room. He was standing with Leah, Paul, and his sister, Rachel.

"Ok," my dad spoke loudly over the music. My uncle Emmett turned it down and my dad walked up to me. "There's one more surprise."

"What?" I asked excitedly.

"Close your eyes." I did as he asked and he picked me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck forcing myself to keep my eyes shut.

I felt the cool air as we stepped outside. He set me on my feet and turned me to face him. I opened my eyes and noticed it was only my family that followed us outside. My friends were all pressed against the front windows, their eyes wide.

"You're mother and I spent a lot of time discussing this…"

My mom snorted. "Discussed?"

My dad smiled at her and kissed her cheek. "Anyway, she put me in charge of this and I wanted to make sure it was perfect." My dad kissed my forehead and it took everything I had in me not to scream. He flipped open his cell phone and only spoke into the speaker. "She's ready, Jacob." My dad placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me away from him.

I couldn't hold the scream in any longer. The beautiful black Mercedes Benz that sped down the street was mine. All mine. The pink bow on the top gave it away.

"Edward!" My mom hissed behind me. "I thought we agreed on something subtle."

"I found this instead." He answered her.

"She's half human you know!"

"Bella, love, she might be your daughter, but she takes after me with the cars. She'll be fine. Look at her."

I stopped listening to them because Jacob stopped the car in front of me. I ran up to it and leaned down onto the hood, hugging my very own car. The street lights reflecting off the shiny paint. It was perfect. It was mine. Jacob had the top down, so he turned the car off and leaped gracefully over the door. He threw the keys at Edward and I leaped for them as they flew over my head. My dad was quicker than me. He dangled them over my head, and if my friends weren't watching me, I could easily jump up and get them.

"You have to promise to be responsible, your grades must stay at an A, and you will be allowed to get your permit, but you can't get your license until you prove to your mother that you're ready to drive on your own."

My mom relaxed next to him and smiled. I groaned. He was leaving it up to her. Great. That meant I wasn't going to get my license until my actual sixteenth birthday. My dad took in my face and sighed.

"Or, you can just look at your car from afar. I'll give the keys back to Ja--"

"No, no! I'll keep my grades up, and I wont ever beg to get my license. I'll let her decide. Promise! Now can I have the keys? Please?"

"Happy Birthday, princess." He dropped the keys and I caught them. I ran around the car and yanked open the drivers side door. My friends piled out of the house and gathered around me.

"You're sister and brother-in-law are the best! Look at this!" Melissa gushed.

Derek sat next to me and smiled. "You know you're my very best friend, right?" He bobbed his eyebrows.

"Yes, Derek," I chuckled. "I'll give you a ride."

My mom cleared her throat next to me.

"As soon as Bella says I'm ready." I finished trying to make it sound like I didn't hear her.

She laughed at me and I smiled back. Thank you, Mom. I said silently.

She leaned over the door and kissed the top of my head. "You're very welcome."

The party died down shortly after that. The only ones left was my family, Derek, and everyone who came from Forks and La Push.

"Dad," I asked innocently.

"Ask your mother." He knew what I wanted. I turned to beg my mom and she smiled.

"Just down the road, Edward." She warned him.

He nodded and we ran towards my car.
