Bella’s Point of view:

He stood there smiling serene at me and Ness, holding flowers in his hands and a goofy smile on his face. This was the Charlie I had come to know and adore, Ness impatiently reached out for him and threw herself into his arms with a delighted squeal.
“Dad, it’s close to your birthday, you shouldn’t be giving things to us, we’re supposed to give things to you.” I sighed exasperatedly accepting the flowers and smiled genuinely all the same. Alice peeked around me “Those flowers are lovely Charlie let me put them in a vase.” She reached out expectantly and withdrew the flowers from my hands.
Charlie quickly snatched a rose and tucked it into Ness’s hair, “There now the flowers are perfect, it seemed like they were lacking something”, he said as he gave Ness a big hug. Jacob walked over and hugged Charlie “The big 40, over the hill, the midlife crisis, how’s it feel old man?” Jacob teased. Charlie just laughed and replied “Bella turned me 40 way before my time Jacob age really doesn’t apply to me anymore.” He laughed lightheartedly but my face couldn’t help but fall. “Don’t worry Bell’s old age suites me.” He reassured me, still I felt slightly guilty I had put Charlie through so much, I was putting him in danger now. He didn’t ask for details but he wasn’t stupid either; he had a good idea of what I had become and that put him in heaps of danger. I perked up my face for him, “So dad ready for our gift?”
“As long as it’s not a cane, or other bad joke I think I can handle it, the guys down at the station got me a senior citizens discount card to Denny’s and a pair of reading glasses, not funny at all in my opinion.” Still there was a tone of humor to his solemn voice.
“Did you like my dad’s gift?” Jacob asked, “He actually worked pretty hard on It., It’s a gift from the both of us actually it took lots of time on mine and Seth’s part”

I could tell Jacob was sincerely hoping for approval, Charlie still didn’t know about the whole “bonding issue” with Ness, and I’m assuming he was worried that Charlie might just actually want to shoot him.

“Well”, Charlie mumbled, “It was a bit extravagant, makes me think there’s a motive behind it, I mean don’t get me wrong Jacob I LOVE THAT CAR! It’s just so… great, too great.”

“If it makes you feel better, Edward paid for all the parts, so me and dad really didn’t do anything but the labor and paint job.” Jacobs face was fishing for approval he had worked very, very, very, hard on the gift.

“Jacob it’s great; really if only I had a 1975 Camereo like that back when I was young, I would’ve had a lot more dates, that’s for sure. I took your dad out for a trip yesterday on it and man we had a blast.”
He looked a bit worried and shifted his footing.
“Look everyone I really love all the gifts I’ve gotten, it’s just that I’m not used to such expensive things, the boat is more than I ever could have asked for, I never thought I’d see the day where I’d own one. And such a nice one too, Billy, Carslie, and I had a blast yesterday on it, but from now on…. Please just get me small things I can’t afford to match these gifts.” He laughed nervously; it was obvious he felt out of place. Alice walked up to him and put her arm around his shoulder embracing him in a hug,
“That is the perk of being family Charlie, besides you gave us the best gift, Bella, so you could never out do us!” He smiled at her then and looked to everyone else, their eyes all trained on him smiling so fondly and welcomingly it seemed to ease his tension.

“Common dad you’ve yet to see the gift me and Ness made you.”
“Wait Bell’s I got you and Edward a gift, it’s not much but…well I hope you to like it.” He fished out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Edward. Edward said his tanks and opened it for us inside was a small figure if me and Edward, it was of us dancing on our wedding day. “Wind it up” Charlie said. When Edward wound it the two figures whirled around the glass base to the song we danced at our wedding. “Truly lovely Charlie”, Esme exclaimed. “Bella, Edward I know it’s your gift but would you mind leaving it in the pallor here for everyone it’s just so lovely.”
Edward smiled and I replied for the both of us, “Of course Esme it really is a treat for everyone thanks’ dad we love it.”
Edward looked to Charlie “Thank you so much for this, and for letting me have Bella.”

Ness let out a delighted shriek as she reached for the musical figurine, she would not take no for an answer. She was enchanted only for a moment before she demanded that she get to show her gift now.

EDWARD’S POINT OF VIEW:

Bella sent me and Charlie to the living room as everyone set up Charlie’s gift.
“Hope it’s nothing to grand” he said, “I don’t think I can handle any more extravagant gifts, makes me feel like I’m running short in comparison no matter what anyone say’s.”

“Knowing Bella it is extravagant and simple”, I reassured him. Thinking of Bella’s idea’s of gifts was mindboggling she put so much thought and consideration into her gift’s, always homemade, always full of love, her gift’s were by far the best. Just then Alice glided into the room and told us everything was ready. A smile appeared on all three of our faces as we made our way to Bella’s and Ness’s gift. When we walked in Bella was sitting at the piano, a little stage was set up with a red curtain that hung over it, chair’s were lined all in front making it apparent that we would be viewing something. It was all to easy for me to see now what we would be watching and it made me smile proudly thinking of Ness and her grace and beauty. My wife was in the beautiful dress she had managed to repair; the light blue stood on her skin like porcelain making her looks angelic. Like a Greek goddess, she glowed with pride and everyone in the room seemed to be doing there best to block out my ability to read their minds. “Must be a group effort”, Charlie murmured in my ear, he looked a little anxious and a little worried that there would be some grand expensive over the top gift behind it. His thought’s I could only read to well, and with no one else to ease drop on I listened to him freely
“Bell’s”, he thought, “Please don’t make this something I’ll have to refuse I can’t handle you giving me something expensive. I’m your father; I give you the expensive things, not the other way around. Well not that I can even do that… how embarrassing. Just calm down Charlie, even though she’s married to Edward it doesn’t mean she’s inherited his taste in expensive gifts. Good old practical Bella bet it’s something sweet and meaningful, yeah that’s my bells.”

I smiled at his thoughts, how true they were. My attention turned towards Bella as she cleared her throat. A meaningless gesture used to draw Charlie’s eyes towards hers.
“Okay here’s the gift everyone has worked on, with me and Ness, it’s for you dad, and also it’s for Edward. Ness and I agreed it was best that way, because she wanted to give you both a gift.”
She began to play Chopin Nocturne number 13, as Jacob moved the red curtain back from the closed off set. My graceful beautiful daughter was dressed in a long paste like pearl pink skirt and leotard, her hair was pulled in a bun and she worn bright pink ballerina slippers. The scene was a garden full of flowers and a fountain that was flowing in the middle. She was crumpled in the flowers on the ground completely limp, and then the arms flew long and wide with graceful movements outward like she was reaching to the sun, Bella played beautifully, purposefully, and delicately emphasizing the flower Ness was. Ness grew from the ground circling the fountain with graceful and quick movements. She pleated and jumped all around the base of the garden, lifting a halo of flowers to her head, then as Bella’s movements picked up Ness moved around the fountain. She laughed recklessly and swirled with such grace on the fountains edge. She skipped and jumped and lunged all around the fountain and skimmed the water lifting her face to the imaginary sun. From out of nowhere light golden flakes fell down on her, as her pace increased and plummeted. She laughed and warmed everyone with her smile jumping lightly in the fountain and lifting her skirt to keep it from getting wet as she swirled in the water. Twirling to and fore with soft movements, and as the pace picked back up again she gracefully moved back out of the fountain onto the edge dancing elegantly this time all around the circle of the basin. Slowly she descended and we all looked at her like she was the sun. She grabbed three garlands, placing one on Jacob’s head, then she danced on her tiptoes in a heated pace to me and landed another garland on my head, she repeated this action to Charlie, and nimbly found her way back to the stage matching all of Bella’s musical movement pace by pace, she gently fell back down to the crumpled pose of the flower she had started out as.

When it was over we all jumped to our feet to give Ness a standing ovation, I rushed over to my wife and gave her a warm kiss, full of appreciation. I looked at her and imitated her features “Do you always have to outdo me?” I mocked playfully. “Yes, yes I do” she beamed. “Ness and I, the whole family really worked so hard.” Ness ran to me and I picked her up in my arms. “Did you like it daddy?” she asked, “Truly honey it was the best dance ever!” I exclaimed. She then turned her attention to Charlie “Grandpa you can’t take that off at all today” she laughed. Charlie had tears in his eyes “I wouldn’t dream of it Ness.” He lifted her out of my arms and began to dance around the garden scene with her. Jacob came in the room carrying a cake that obviously he and Ness had made the night before. “Okay Charlie time for the birthday gramps to make a wish!”
“Wanna help Ness?” Charlie asked, and Ness was only to excited to help, and as they made a wish I read Charlie’s mind truly wishing I hadn’t,
“I wish I could live in this moment forever with Rene by my side.” He thought. Ness’s wish was simply enough, “I wish I had a pony!” Well at least I could satisfy one of those things. I never really thought about it before but Charlie really was getting a raw deal, he was all alone, his only child would remain young forever and constantly remind him of his lonely life, all the things he could have wanted and could never have stood clearly in front of his face, I truly felt grief for Charlie. His ex-wife of whom he was still madly in love with would grow old and die in another mans arms “Poor Charlie” I thought. His wish was completely and totally unattainable.

BELLA’S POINT OF VIEW:

Dad looked reflective for a moment almost sad, I hoped I hadn’t overdone anything and made him sad, or regret his choice in coming here. I knew it was hard for him seeing all the happy faces and my new family, he was always the odd man out always the observer. I walked over to him and wrapped him tight in a hug. The warmth from his body gave me a happy glow. “Dad Do you know I’ll love you forever?”
“Of course Bell’s, same here, I loved your gift, your one of a kind.” He pulled me back to look at me and it was a moment filled with love and affection, a type of happiness neither of us had before, we had finally found. And then the voice I heard behind me made my blood run cold, I could vaguely hear Jacobs threatening growl behind me.

“Yes Edward I’ll admit it’s a shame” the voice commented, “honestly you think you’d grant the man his wish and allow for more happy endings.” Aro, Cassius and Jane glided into the room, I looked to Alice who looked bewildered as I, How had she missed this? Aro felt my angry glare “Ah Bella you look enchanting as always, I’ve come bearing gifts and good messages, we value your family so much we decide to come in person.” His smile did not fool me for one seconded, in fact it filled me with dread. Carslie boldly stepped up to Aro, “Aro what is it that I can do for you?”
“Ahh that is the key is it not, my old friend, you see the last time we met it was on ill terms and I am here to rectify it.” Cassius smiled a rueful smile and turned to Charlie. “It seems you make friend’s all too often with the wrong people.” He sneered, “However were willing to overlook it for your…services.” Aro held up one hand to silence him, “We are looking for more than services, we are looking for you as our allies we have no wish to fight your clan.” He turned to Charlie at that point, “Tell me Mr. Swan how much do you know about your daughter and her child?” At that point Jane gilded over to my father touching him lightly I let out a snarl that shook the room, “DO. NOT. TOUCH. HIM!” I grounded out through stone teeth.

“Dearest Bella we have not come to hurt this man simply to grant his birthday wish.” He smiled, I looked to Edward at that point for some sort of explanation, Edward however looked positively sick. I turned to Alice to read her face, and she to looked very ill and stricken silent. What had happened? What was going on?
It was at that moment Demetri walked in gently holding my mothers hand. I felt bile rise in my throat. Suddenly dread filled me, all my worst fears had come true because I was selfish, because I included them, I put them in harms way, and now it seemed we would be slaves for the Volturi, or Rene and Charlie would suffer for it. Damn them I would not allow Charlie or Rene to suffer… though something seemed off about my mom. She didn’t have her normal flighty aura to her, she seemed more composed stoic and…dead. It was then I realized the color of her eyes. Blood red and no Phil in sight. After that my mind went blank I was so consumed by anger and wrought with grief; that when Jane waltzed over to my mom and wrapped her arms around her waist I simply reacted by impulse. Jane was my prey, my enemy, and she was going to die. I was vaguely aware of Jacob running with Ness out of the room, and completely grateful for it.
