Eternity

It had been months since Charlie passed away. I eventually "got over it". He had had a weak heart for years, and I knew that one day it would end. He was in a better place now. I smiled to myself.

I was standing in the kitchen trying to make a cake. A birthdaycake. It was June 20th - Edward`s birthday. And I was soon 7 months pregnant. The baby was due in the beginning of September.

Carlisle had talked to me a few times about the child. He thought that the baby would age and act as humans, but of course, it would be unique. Maybe even have a special power...

I had gone to school, but right now it was summer-vacation. Again, me and Edward had been the gossip for a few months. But, like last time, things had settled down. I wasn`t the first one to get pregnant this early in Forks. There was my mom... and then there was a girl last year.

I wiped my face with the sleeve of my shirt and put the cake in the oven. All of the Cullens were out hunting.

"We won`t be long. 2 hours max," Edward had promised me right before they left. He was even more over-protective over me now, than before.

They had been gone for an hour and a half now, and I had used the time to decorate the living room with partystuff and baked a cake. Of course the wouldn`t eat it, but I thought that since it was a birthday, we needed a cake.

I took off my apron and washed my hands. I dried them on my white sweatpants. If it were up to me, I would have been wearing sweatpants with holes in them and a gray T-shirt from Edward. But sadly, it wasn`t up to me. That`s why I was wearing a baby pink, long sleeve top and my hair was up in some kind of fancy hairdo.

I glanced at the clock. They would come any minute now.

Sure enough, a minute later I heard the cars pull up. I waddled out the front door and into the garage where the rest of my family was. I threw my arms around Edward and he held me close. "How are my girls?" he asked.

Yup, that`s right. It was a girl. Alice had seen it, and couldn`t hold it to herself.

"Great," I replied with a huge grin.

I giggled and lead him in to the house with the rest behind us. I winked to Alice and she grinned back.

We walked into the living room and I yelled, "Surprise!"

His jaw dropped. "Happy birthday, baby," I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

He turned to Alice with narrowed eyes. "You knew about this?"

She nodded her head.

"I wondered why you were repeating every fashion-magazine in your head," he muttered. He turned to me and gave me a kiss on the lips. "Thanks, honey."

"You baked a cake?" Emmet asked between his laughter.

"Yup. It ain`t a birthday without a cake," I replied and took a look at cake. I had written "Happy 108-birthday, Edward!" on it.

The rest of the night was great. I dared Emmet to eat cake and Emmet did it. He couldn`t hold it in for a long time though. This year the Cullens had bought Edward gifts. He got clothes from Alice and Rosalie, Emmet and Jasper gave him some kind of car-thing, Carlisle and Esme got him some CD`s and some books, and I gave hime something that I made myself. It was a little photoalbum with pictures of our wedding, not expensive but it was unique.

I sat in the couch with Edward`s arm around me. I yawned. "I think I`ll go to bed now," I said.

We walked upstairs. We layed down on the bed where I fell asleep in Edward`s strong, safe arms.
