“Where are we going?” Nessie asked, clawing at the blindfold. Bella caught her hands and laughed.

“Your dad has a surprise for you” she said. Ahead of them, Alice grinned.

“C’mon, you don’t want to keep Edward waiting!” she cried excitedly.

Nessie moaned teasingly, and they kept walking. She could feel them ascending, climbing a set of stairs. As well as she knew this house, she had no idea where they were going. After what seemed like forever, they came to a stop. Bella led Nessie a few more steps and leaned down.

“You can take off the blindfold now, sweetie” she whispered in her ear.

Nessie untied the blindfold – and gaped. Lighting up the midnight sky was a beautiful show of fireworks. They twisted and turned, pinwheeled and sparkled, and formed a large mosaic of color. It resembled Nessie’s face in the middle of a blooming rose. Above it all, bright purple fireworks spelled HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RENESMEE. Edward and Jacob stood below on the ground, grinning up at them. Nessie looked around for the first time – they were standing on the large white roof. Below them, Nessie’s 16th birthday party was laid out. Trusting them to catch her, Nessie ran and leaped off the edge. For a few moments, she soared through the air like a bird. Then she began the thrilling plummet to the ground. But of course, she was caught in her father’s stone arms before she could break a bone. He smiled her mother’s crooked smile at her. “Happy birthday, Renesmee” he said. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Omigosh thanks so much, Dad!” she cried. Beside them, Jacob frowned.

“Hey, what about me?” he said teasingly. Nessie jumped out of her father’s arms and looked at him meaningfully. He raised his hands innocently.

“Okay, I get the message. Dad out” he said, running to the house and climbing to the roof. Nessie turned back to Jacob, smiling his favorite smile.

“Thanks, Jake” she said, hugging him fiercely. He smiled into her hair.

“I love you, Nessie” he whispered.

“I love you too, Jake” she whispered back
