"That's fine. You're opening them regardless." He still looked smug. I punched his arm playfully. "Ow. You're still quite strong, you know." He rubbed his arm and it was my turn to put on the smug face.

Another knock. Much to Jacob's surprise, Nessie leapt from his arms (she never does that) to answer the door. Seth and Leah were finally here, hidden behind mountains of gifts.

"The ones in my stack that aren't birthday paper are Bella's," Leah stated, her voice muffled by the packages.

"So is the big one in mine," Seth added. I groaned. Everyone laughed. Emmett and Rose took some of the gifts from them and put them on the table with the rest. Alice was still snapping photos of everything. More than usual, it seemed.

"Hey, Jazz." Edward spoke while looking at me, his back to the stairs where Jasper emerged from, holding another wrapped gift. He rolled his eyes.

"So much for being subtle. This is another Bella-gift, from Alice and me." He held up the gift and looked at Alice. She pointed to my pile in the back corner of the room. All of Nessie's gifts were front and center. Nessie was staring at them, still wide-eyed. She walked over to Edward and put her hand on his face.

"Yes, they are all for you," he replied to her silent question, hugging her. She giggled in excitement.

That's when Carlisle and Esme walked down the stares, carrying even more packages. I stared in shock.

"These aren't from us, Bella," His words calmed me down. "But they have been hiding in our closet for what feels like ages. They're from abroad. Tanya's family, the Amazons, just about everyone who's met Nessie. And don't worry, Bella. No one really knows it's technically your birthday, too, except Tanya and company. They just sent a small package." He pointed to a small box on the top of his pile.

Still too big, in my opinion. I just sighed.

Nessie touched Jacob's face. "She wants to know if she can open them, yet."

"Not yet, sweetheart! There's something we need to do first!" Alice exclaimed. She ran to the kitchen as Rosalie shut off the lights. Alice reappeared with a beautifully decorated cake with a half-dozen candles lit on it. It was pink with white "ribbons" on it. On top had "Happy Birthday, Renesmee!" in white script. Alice really outdid herself on this one. It was beautiful. We all sang to Nessie and she blew out the candles. We cheered and she clapped.
