"Happy Birthday to you!" The Cullens finished as the human blew out his candles.

'I wish to see Jasper again.' He thought.

"Did you make a wish?" Alice asked and he nodded with a smile.

"I'm happy that you like the cake. I worked hard on it." Bella said softly. She cut her hair shorter and adopted a badass look.

"Bella. Charlie will want you back soon." Edward reminded her and she nodded.

"Love you." She hugged him tightly.

"Love you, too, Soul sis." He kissed her forehead.

"Let's go." Edward lead her putting his arm around her waist.

"Be nice to Charlie!" Axel called making her stick her tongue out.

Alice turned his head and kissed his sweetly, "Jasper sent a letter."

"Oh." He took it and opened it.

Dear Axel,

I care for you as well. I wouldn't call it love. Not yet...

Jasper <3

Ps. My apologies if the heart was too much.

Axel chuckled, "He's such a cinnamon roll."

Alice read over his shoulder and giggled. "He loves you, too."

"I know. Esme, what are we doing?"

Esme smiled, "Rosalie wanted to go skinny dipping in a lake for a celebration."

"Hell ya! Naked Alice!" The vampire in question punched him sharply in the rib. He inhaled sharply as his head slammed on the table.

"Too flirtatious."

"Whyyyy meeee..." He teared up holding his side.

"I'm sorry. I still have to punish you." Alice hugged him.

"Worst lover ever." He sobbed.

Alice frowned at that, "You don't mean that."

"Nope. You're too cute and powerful for me to hate you. I do have to ask that you stop hitting me. It's starting to bruise."

Alice gasped, "I'm so sorry."

"It's fine." He yawned realizing that it was midnight.

"We'll be taking a road trip to the lake tomorrow. Bella will be joining us."

"Yay!!!" Axel shot up.

Alice laid on Axel's chest and he stared at her. Nibbles was at the foot of the bed with a handmade blanket on her courtesy of Rosalie.

"Hey, Alice, can I say one last flirtatious thing for today?" He asks.

"Sure." She looked up at him.
