I hid in our closet pretending that I trouble picking out what to wear. My 20^th birthday and my first year as a vampire were almost here. I was scared to image what Alice had planned. I knew for a fact that Alice would not let this pass without some sort of celebration and it would not matter if I protested or not. For the last week one had mentioned or acted any differently but I didn’t trust them. For the first couple of days of the week I had avoided going to the house as much as possible but then I reliesed this was a bad idea and started to stay at the house most of the time. Well a day later Alice annoced that she was going on a /shopping trip/ but I did not believe her so then I told her I was going along. I soon came to relies this was a bad idea to for she had me try on numerous things and then decided to get them for me. I protested that I had enough clothes but she ignored me. I was surprised she did not use the excuse it was an earlier birthday present. When she did this, this made me reliese that they might be planning a surprise birthday party for me. “Bella.” Edward called as he came into our closet and wrapped his arms around my waist which in turn made me jump. Down stairs in the living room I heard Emmett burst out laughing. “Shut up Emmett!” I hissed as loud as I could. This of course set him into a roar of laughter. It annoyed me sometimes that everyone could hear what I did and return I could what everyone did thanks to the super hearing I had gotten since becoming a vampire. I have been jumpy since my shopping trip with Alice any time anyone touched me or called my name I jumped. I then turned to look at Edward who had the most innocent expression. “What?” He asked his voice sounding the way his face looked. “You know what!” I grumbled to him as I stalked out of our closet and into our bedroom. On the way out I grabbed a blue t-shirt and jeans and quickly put them on. When I looked back at Edward in our closet he still had the innocent expression on his face. I listened for Nessie, I heard her in the living room playing with Jacob, who had come for a visit. I walk well more like ran down the stairs to see Nessie she was playing with the necklace Aro had given me a year for my wedding present. “Mom!” Called Nessie as she dashed over to me. I caught her up in my arms and gave her a hug and kiss I noted to myself that she now looked like a six year old. Soon me and Edward put Nessie to bed. “Night Mom! Night Dad!” Said Nessie from her bed interrupting my thoughts as me and Edward went to leave her room. “Night.” I said and so did Edward. ‘Maybe I’ve gotten out of it.‘ I thought to myself. For they have not really done anything.’ I thought. The next couple of days nothing really happened. One day I was on my out to take Nessie to the park with Jacob tagging along. We were in the garage which Rosalie was in their working on her car along with Emmett who was holding up the car for her. “Hey Bella wait!” Emmett said. I then stopped. “Yeah?” I asked he had a huge grin across his face. “In exacually three hours you new-born strength will be gone.” He said. I then remember that today was the day I been turned into a vampire it had been one year. “So?” I said. His grin got bigger then. “I want an arm wrestle when you get back.” He said. “Fine.” I said. When we were in the car and half way to the park I started to think of what Emmett had said. ‘That’s right it does wear off today my new-born strength. ‘ I had not been thinking when I had told him yes to the arm wrestling match for I usually beat him and I gotten use to it. When we arrived at the park Nessie took more like forced Jacob to play with her but Jacob did not mind as long as she was happy. Before I knew it four hours had passed and it was time to go home. When we pulled up into the driveway Emmett sat on the front steps and had an even bigger grin then before. He was at my door before I had time to park. “Me you arm wrestle now!” He demanded as I opened my car door. “Later.” I mumbled as Nessie ran to the house towing Jacob with her. “Fine.” Muttered Emmett and followed those to the house. I was still uneasy for my birthday was a couple of days away but I soon found out this was the wrong day to worry about. As I opened the door and stepped into the living room everyone yelled. “Happy Birthday Bella!” My jaw just fell right open. “You have the date wrong.” I muttered thinking that my birthday was on Step. 13. “No it’s not Mom!” Said Nessie coming up to me. “Yes.” I said still in a daze. “No it has been on year since you turned into a vampire mom!” Said Nessie. “Excuse me…” I said as Edward wrapped his arms around my waist. “You were right Alice.” He chuckled giving me a kiss. I searched the room for Alice when I found her I just stared at her. “Bella we always celebrate the day you became a vampire. Plus this would be that best day to get you for you always freak out when it’s your birthday since I have known you.” She said with a smile. I let it all sink in. “Next year I’ll be ready for this.” I said looking at Alice. “Well that just makes it all the more fun to plan then.” Said Alice smiling. They had did it they had fooled me and I had no way to get out of celebrating this day.
