CHAPTER EIGHT BIRTHDAY BASH
In the year: 1940
NOVEMBER 29th.
A simple day to most but it's always been a special day for Thea Quarts. It was her birthday and even though she'd stopped aging, Esme wanted to celebrate it anyways.
Thea on the other hand, was uncertain, so she suggested it was a bad idea.
So Thea believed there would be no party.
"Those heels fit you perfectly, Thea," Esme clasps her fingers together, a big smile on her face, "Don't you agree, Rose?"
Rosalie was looking out of the shoe shops window, she only spared Thea a quick glance, "yes."
"Would you like to buy these?" The female worker drapes the towel over her forearm.
Thea looked down at the shoes, she was starting to realize that she loved the color black, the shiny pure color was perfect against her pale complexion. "Yes, I would." She looks up at the lady.
The three women left the workshop satisfied and when they returned home, Esme was hoping Thea would love the surprise she had waiting for her at home.
Thea was the first to step through the door, walking to the living room to be met with balloons and confetti on the carpet. Thea's lips parted, "what—"
"Surprise!" Emmett jumps from behind the couch with a small party hat on his head. Rosalie giggled at how adorable he looked.
Thea looks to Esme, laughing sort of uncomfortably, "what happened to no party?"
"Don't think of it as a party," Esme grabs her shoulders and leads her to the couch, "think of this as a family night that's...centered...around you." She smiles.
Presents were gathered on the couches and Thea knew she should be happy but she wasn't. She didn't want this.
"Carlisle should be home from work any minute and then we can open your presents." Esme smiles to Emmett and Rosalie. "Rose is gonna get you all dressed up and then you'll head back down here, okay?"
Thea kept silent, putting on a smile.

Thea was lost in thought, she couldn't pull her mind away from the "what ifs." What if she was still human? What if she was able to raise her baby? What if she was never turned into a vampire?
