Chapter 7: A Furry Birthday Treat
Cade smiled at Edward and kissed his cheek, “Later” she said and pulled him inside.
“So what should we do now?” Jocelyn asked happily.
“Not sure, at some point in time today or tomorrow Alice and I need to go shopping for the stuff I’m missing.” Cade said as she and Edward sat on the couch. Cade couldn’t help but smile when she had seen the spark go to Alice’s eye when she had mentioned shopping.
“Hey Cade I do have one request though,” Jo said a sly smile on her lips.
“Yes?” Cade asked Edward’s arm wrapping around her.
“Um, there are a few people that would like to wish you a happy birthday but they can’t come here when….” She said nodding her head towards Edward and Alice.
“Ah I can take the hint.” Alice said standing; she walked over to Cade giving her a hug, “Remember baseball tonight at 10.”
Edward’s eyes then shown with realization knowing who Jocelyn was now talking about. He stood pulling Cade up with him walking with her by the door.
“Are you sure that's a wise idea I mean….” He started but she placed her fingers on his lips silencing him.
“Edward I’ll be fine I promise,” She said with a smile lowering her hand, “I’ve got my powers if need be.”
He looked at her for a moment then looked at his sister, “She’ll be with us for baseball tonight Edward, don’t worry.” Alice said reassuringly.
Cade smiled up at Edward as his eyes searched hers. He saw no sign of worry or fear in them. He lost his train of thought when her lips pressed to his. He wrapped his arms around her back pulling her close and making the kiss deeper still. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.
“I’ll never get tired of that.” He said with a smile, “I’ll be here right at ten to come and get you alright?”
“Ok,” she said with a smile, “and don’t worry everything will be fine, I promise.”
He smiled at her and kissed her forehead before leaving. She smiled and headed back to the couch next to Jo.
“I think we’ve gone nuts.” She said with a smile.
“Huh?”
“We’re both dating supernatural creatures.”
“Good point, but hey if this is nuts then throw me into some trail mix.”
Cade smiled and laughed at her.
“Hey I have a question to ask you before I tell the pack to come here.”
“Yeah?”
“Do you know what happened to this Bella chick? I mean Jacob said she died but didn’t go into it.”
“Oh… Uh, yeah I do. Carlisle said it was really sudden… I think he said it was from a different form of SIDS, it happens sometimes in young men but it happened to her, one of those really rare cases, it was one of the reasons why Alice never saw it.”
“Ah got it… I think”
“Yeah it’s weird. I heard bits and pieces from Edward at least what parts he could tell me. I got the rest of the story from Carlisle.”
“I wish I could get Jacob to tell me that.”
“Hun it’s hard for him, she was the first person that he had strong feelings for. You’ll always have feelings for the first person you ever loved. Can you tell me you still don’t have feelings for Ethan?”
A light pink blush came to the girls face, “Alright your right, I just wish he wouldn’t freak out you know? I mean I called him my space heater jokingly and he flipped.”
“I can explain that one too, a little while before she died they fought newborn vampires that were well pretty much after her, some revenge thing or something… not completely sure. She would’ve frozen to death if it hadn’t been for Jacob being there, Edward said something to Jacob about fetching a space heater or something to that effect. So he probably thinks about her when he hears it.”
“Ah…” she said softly her face gaining a darker shade of pink, “ok got it now.”
“Good now call your puppy and tell him the coast is clear.” She said with a smile.
Jocelyn smiled largely and ran out to her car, her cell phone in hand. Cade shook her head and went into the kitchen pulling out food for when the boys got there. She was slicing up the bread when Jocelyn came back in a large lime green box in hand after setting it on the dining room table she went and watched Cade. This is one thing she would agree with Edward on Cade was always so peaceful when she cooked. Cade spread a little butter on top of the pieces as well a plenty of mozzarella cheese and placed them in the oven.
“Are they on their way?” she asked as she placed a pot on the stove for the marinara sauce.
“They should be here any minute actually.” She said with a smile.
“How many will there be from the pack?” Cade asked wanting to make sure she had enough food as she emptied the can of sauce into the pan.
“Jacob, Embry, Quil, Seth more than likely and I think Jacob has Sam and Emily’s gift with him.”
“What is it with you people and getting me gifts I’ve told you before you don’t need to.” She said adding spices to the sauce.
“Because we can.” A familiar voice said coming through the screen door.
“Come on in fur ball.” Cade said with a smile.
Jacob came in and she could see the playful glare in his eyes.
“How’s Edward?” Seth asked as he and the other placed their gifts with Jocelyn’s.
“He’s good, he and Alice just left,”
“Explains the stench,” Jacob muttered and pretended to wince when Jo smacked him in the back of his head.
“Be nice Jake, and I’m joining them tonight for baseball actually.” She said and pulled out the bread and poured the sauce into a bowl, “How’s the pack?”
“Good,” Embry said grabbing a few pieces before she set the pan down, “Quil imprinted.”
“Really?” she asked the boy who was now blushing at her like mad.
“Uh yeah,” he muttered around a mouth full of bread, the blush on his cheeks barely visible through the color of his skin.
“Her name’s Ashlyn and she will be at the bonfire down in La Push this weekend with the rest of us. You’re free to come if you’d like that way you can meet her.” Jacob said happily four pieces on his plate; he followed the others to the couch, “If you can get away from the bloodsuckers, that is.”
“Puppy, heal, sit.” Jocelyn said grabbing a few pieces herself and sitting down on the love seat, Jacob moving next to her a playful glare on his face.
“Sorry love,” he said and kissed her neck.
“Alright enough with all the lovey-dovey; open your gifts Cade.” Seth said after having made a face at Jacob and Jo.
Cade smiled at the youngest werewolf, though he looked nothing like it. She plucked his gift from the top of the pile she pulled off the wrapping paper revealing the hand made picture frame, the picture on the inside was of the entire pack, including Billy, Emily, Jo, and Jared’s girl Kim. The note of the back in Seth’s untidy scrawl brought a smile to her face.
Never forget your furry and warm blooded friends
“Thanks Seth it’s perfect,” she said getting up and placing it next to the picture she had of the Cullen’s and herself.
She grabbed up Quil’s next, she pealed off the paper revealing the hand made bracelet inside. She smiled at him and slipped it on, the pale blue and russet brown contrasting on her skin.
“It’s supposed to stand for both world’s your apart of.” He said shyly.
“Thanks Quil I love it.” She said and grabbed up Embry’s she opened it the photo album slipping into her hand. She smiled at him largely and flipped through the pages seeing the fun times at not only La Push but Jo’s as well. She opened Sam and Emily’s happy to see the rest of the cook ware that she was missing.
She opened the last one on the table, already knowing it was from Jo. She smiled when she unwrapped the oddly shaped gift revealing not only a beautiful hand made dream catcher but surprised a laugh seeing the vampire plushie she had gotten as well.
“Thanks Jo.” She said hugging her best friend.
“Of course," Jo replied with a smile knowing hers was going to be the best.
“So Jake where’s yours?” she asked knowing he had it on him somewhere.
“Let me see and drive your new car and I’ll give it to you.”
“Give it to me and I’ll get you the parts you need.” She said slyly knowing that he needed them to finish Jo’s birthday present.
“What parts?” Jo said confused.
“Nothing babe,” he said quickly and handed Cade the envelope. He was restoring Jo’s dream car for her for her birthday and she had requested Cade and Rosalie’s help to find the parts.
Cade smiled triumphantly and opened the top of the envelope. A piece of cardstock falling into her hand, when she turned it over she couldn’t help but laugh loudly. It was perfect, a Get to La Push Free card. What made her laugh harder was the fact that not only Jacob had signed it but Edward as well.
“How in the world did you get him to sign it?” she asked amazed that Edward would agree to something like that.
“It took a little to convince him that nothing bad would happen but it ended up working in the end.” Jacob said, “and even better you can use it on the up coming bonfire.”
Cade smiled at all of them she loved all her gifts so much and these just making her birthday complete.
