I hope you like it, Nessa.
~the look on her nieces face was priceless, and she could tell that she was aching to go riding right this second. But Nessa, ever the little lady in the presence of the family, kept her cool and just beamed up at them before kissing both of their cheeks and lovingly caressing the helmet.~
I'm sure you'll be safe, right? We are trusting you to be smart about this. Emmett insisted that we get this for you.
~with a smile, she reached out for Ryder and picked him up, holding him close to her. He was so grown, and such a little gentleman. Today was simply put absolutely perfect!~

*Watching Nahuel slide his hand down, Jake realized his hands had balled into fists. That's it! He couldn't stay here the anger inside him was rising. Pushing his way through, Jake hugged Bella and wished her well.*
"Happy Birthday, Bella. You look great." *He looked at Edward and nodded, then shook his hand as he tried to remain cool and lax. Finally his eyes met hers as he looked to Ness and wished her well.* "Happy Birthday, Renesmee. I hope you're happy." *His words were more clipped than he wanted or meant them but being this near that bloodsucker, all he saw was red.* "I'll give you your gift later, I have to go. Sorry."
*His gaze fell on Nahuel and gave him the look that said "this isn't over" Jake tore out of the house regardless of where Seth was, within seconds he was in wolf form tearing through the forest with a saddened howl and aggressive growl.*

Seth watched as Emmett handed over a set of keys and a helmet. What! They were giving her a bike! How cool was that? Now this was a party. "I am sorry, I didn't get you anything like that, but i hope you guys like it" as he headed over and handed both to Renesmee and Bella, two tribal wolves. He knew that they would get a mountain of gifts, but at least it was something. Watching the scene with Jake and Nahuel was all he needed to see to know Jake was not handling the situation well at all. As Jake left as he then heard a howl in his wake. He turned back to everyone who was watching on as he shrugged. "I better go after her...Don't leave...I wanna see you guys tomorrow. Happy birthday guys, its great to have you home" he smirked as he took off in search of Jake.

~Charlie knew it was his turn and Sue squeezed his shoulder. He hugged both of them and kissed their foreheads.~ "My beautiful girls. You've both grown up so beautifully and strong...and just, I couldn't ask for better. I'm so proud of you Bella, for all you've done, for all you've accomplished. The woman you have become is astounding to me."
~He was getting choked up and emotional so he made a joke.~ "And you're gonna out live me by a lot. All of you." ~Everyone laughed while he got himself together.~
"Anyway, I am no good at gifts, especially when it comes to you two so these are for you from Sue and I." ~She smiled softly then hugged both girls, so happy Charlie was happy. Charlie handed Bella and Renesmee gift cards worth $500 each and stepped back after hugging them.~

Edward stood back and watched as Bella was reunited with her father, it was worth everything to see her smile again. The smile that had gone since they left, everything was all worth being here. He knew that he would need to speak with Jacob when he was calmer. He had made the decision, he wanted to return to Forks. It had been long enough. It was time to come home, but it was something that he needed to talk to Bella and Renesmee about.
Could they come home?
He would be having a talk with Emmett about his and Rose's present to Renesmee. There was no way that she would be riding that, at least not without proper instruction. He would give Bella and Renesmee their presents when they were alone. He had pushed all his other thoughts out of his mind, today was not the time.
He would speak with Carlisle another time, when the time was right. He caught a soft smile from Alice, knowing that she could see what he had planned to do. But today was about Bella, Renesmee. That was all that mattered.
Approaching Bella as he placed a kiss on her head,
"Happy birthday Bella" he whispered, seeing that Renesmee was off talking with Emmett.

It was all so...overwhelming...but wonderful. Seeing her family and having them all here. It was saddening to see Jacob have to leave but she knew there were deeper lying issues here. The gifts were all amazing, wonderful even. Giving Emmett a look, she would get him outside later and scold him for not talking to them before about a motorcycle. Her luck had been bad with them, she could only imagine her daughters luck.
She hugged Jasper and Alice, lingering in her best friend's arms before kissing her cheek and thanking them both. She could not wait to start reading them over again. First editions held so much more history and the pages were delicate. The story never changed...
She kissed Rosalie on the cheek and hugged Emmett then punched his arm. "A MOTORCYCLE!? We'll talk about this later E." He chuckled and she shook her head. "Thank you both so much, gives me a reason to visit you in London now." She smiled.
Turning to Esme and Carlisle, she opened the music box and smiled remembering the lullaby that always soothed her. "Oh Esme...Carlisle...I love it!" Then she was handed the set of Shakespeare ten volume set printed on vellum 1904. She gasped. "Oh my god! This is...it's...oh it's wonderful. Thank you so much, both of you. You did not have to." This was worth a fortune she knew it. Part of her wished her mother was here, but with Phil starting baseball again soon, they were traveling and getting ready for the season. She promised she would see her in Paris after the season, so that was reassuring. And she had a wonderful talk with her on her birthday.
Edward hadn't had a gift, but she knew he had something up his sleeve. She kissed him and leaned against him before Charlie came over and said such wonderful things to her that she never knew he felt. "Aw dad. Thank you. So much." She would probably use the money on something for him, but he didn't need to know that. "Thank you Sue, you're taking good care of him I see." She smiled and hugged her tightly, so glad someone was there to take care of him now that he wasn't there to.
"Seth, I love it. It will remind me of my favorite wolf. Just don't tell Jake." She said with a smile and gave him a wink. All of the gifts were just so touching, so amazing. How did she get blessed with such a wonderful family?

-while she absolutely loved all of the gifts, the one she had gotten from Emmett and Rosalie was her favorite. And even though she could tell that her dad wasn't wanting her to ride on it, nor was her mom, she knew that they wouldn't stop her. They couldn't. Cause she was quick.-
Thanks so much, everybody! This is all amazing and I'm truly honored and blessed to have you as my family.
-turning to look at her mom, completely ignoring the fact that Jake had stormed out. She had things to talk to him about later, and Nahuel. They all needed to sit down and get it all hashed out. But for now, she wanted to enjoy being with her family. She really wanted to stay in Forks; she missed her treehouse, missed La Push, missed everything about the cloudy county. It was everything to her. She turned to Nahuel and raised a brow at him before speaking softly.-
You and I need to talk. I know what you were doing, and it was entirely uncalled for.

He watched Jacob leave after receiving a look that told him things were far from over. It did not bother him what so ever. In fact, it didn't phase him or alter his plans. Her words however, of being uncalled for gave him pause. He had upset her. He never wanted to upset her. He lowered his head and thought twice about his gift before deciding that he had to make amends and show her how much she meant to him. Renesmee was the one he loved and he would stop at nothing, no matter Jacob's opinion. After they received a gift from everyone, he waited for them to graciously accept them and say their thanks. They began to chat and murmur as he moved around and stepped next to Bella. <Bella, you helped me in ways you'll never know or understand. You showed me what a mother could be, what I could have had. Don't ever think you're not special, because you are. I um, didn't have the funds of your country to get some outlandish gift, but I did craft this of my own hand. The stones are from South America and very rare, just as you are. Please accept this as a birthday gift, they bring good luck and spirituality.> She seemed to like it and he smiled proudly as she slipped it on and hugged him. He turned and caught the gaze of Renesmee as he stepped forward and took her hand. A hush seemed to come across the room. He smiled softly at her, knowing she was struggling with seeing her ex. It made his gift seem like it was the wrong time. But, maybe not. Life was about chances right? He knelt before her as he had read up on customs of this world and looked up at her. <Renesmee Carlie Cullen, there is something I must ask you...> He reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring he made by his own hand, a gem of her favorite color he had found on their first hunting trip in South America a year before when she had run away. They escaped the rain into a cave and he had found it, stowed it away until the time. Using a metal, he formed a ring and placed the gem in the center. It had come from his heart, his love...she was his everything. He held it in his fingers and presented it to her, waiting for what she'd say.
