"It was a nightmare, Bella. You need to relax," Anna told her sister as she finished up her hair ─ Bella had told Anna about her dream in regards to growing old while Edward didn't age which happens to be Bella's fear. "What do I do?" Bella asked Anna as she laid back against Anna's bed with a sigh. "Tell Edward what you dreamt about then move forward. There is no point in letting your mind drown you in what-ifs," Anna advised her before grabbing her phone off the charger.

"Now, it's our eighteenth birthday not our eightieth, so you need to relax," Anna told Bella as she pushed her out of the room and towards the stairs. "Anna... I think gravity is calling me," Bella dramatically spoke causing Anna's eyes to widen. "Don't you dare!" Anna shouted as Bella leaned back letting her weight fall against Anna until they both fell to the floor. "Why are you like this?" Anna muttered out to her sister while Charlie laughed.

Anna and Bella made it downstairs where Charlie stood by the table ─ sitting on the table were a few gifts that made Anna smile while Bella frowned. "Happy birthday girls," Charlie told them with a smile on his face. "I thought we agreed to no presents," Bella muttered out to him while Anna sat down and bit into an apple. "Well, the ones from me aren't wrapped, so it doesn't count," Charlie defended as Anna smiled at the new book ─ Pride And Prejudice.

"Thanks, dad!" Anna cheered with a smile before placing her new book into her bag, the twins smiled at each other as Bella held up the camera. "It goes with this one from your mom. We coordinated. Well, she coordinated me," Charlie told them as Bella unwrapped the gift from their mother. Anna smiled at her gift, a new journal that had a small pocket for a photo to go. "It's to put your pictures in from Senior year," Charlie explained to Bella while the twins cringed.

Neither of them could believe they were eighteen and seniors, it still felt surreal to the two of them even with everything that has happened. "Senior year..." Charlie breathed out. "How'd you two get so old so fast?" Charlie asked causing Anna to laugh while Bella panicked. "I didn't. It's not that old," Bella defended quickly. "I don't know. Is that a grey hair?" Charlie asked as he leaned in closer causing Bella to rush to a mirror.

"Nice one, Dad," Anna told Charlie who laughed. "That's really funny," Bella replied to Charlie sarcastically. "Come on, Bells. You gotta relax," Anna told her sister before kissing Charlie's cheek and heading out to the car. "It's not funny, Anna," Bella scolded softly but Anna just laughed at Bella as they got into the red ute. "Another missing hiker brings the total to three presumed dead. Rangers are searching for the killer animal─" The radio announcer spoke before Anna changed the channel.

"Trouble!" Tyler called out as Anna climbed out of the car, she smiled at her best friend as Eric, Angela, Mike and Jessica approached Bella. "Today's the big day, Bella," Jessica told Bella causing her to freeze while Anna rolled her eyes. "A and J essay due," Jessica added which relaxed Bella. "Happy birthday," Tyler told Anna before handing her a small gift bag, she smiled up at him before pulling out a small velvet box. She opened it to reveal a silver bracelet with "T" and "A" charms.

"I love it, Ty. Thank you," Anna told him before they hugged. "You two! Join the photo," Eric called gaining their attention, Anna smiled at Bella before walking over to the group and getting in the photo. "You'll photoshop this if my nose looks big, right?" Angela asked anxiously while Anna laughed quietly with Tyler. "Don't worry, I'm in the picture. No one will be looking at you guys," Eric boasted causing the others to laugh.

"That's good," Bella told them as the Cullens pulled into the car lot gaining the Swan twins' attention. "Oh, good. Cullen's here," Mike spoke while Eric cheered weakly, they still hadn't adapted to Bella's relationship with Edward or Anna's with Jasper. "Well, talk to you later," Jessica told the twins before they walked away. "See you later, trouble," Tyler told Anna before the two fist-bumped. "Happy birthday," Edward told Anna as he walked past her, she smiled in response.

Anna jogged up to Jasper and practically jumped into his arms, the two kissed passionately before he placed her down, holding her against his body before they slowly pulled away from each other. "Happy birthday, darlin'," Jasper whispered to Anna before kissing her swiftly again. "Thank you, my love," Anna replied before she noticed the small bag. "Jas... you didn't have to get me anything," Anna told him with a small soft smile.

"I wanted to," Jasper told her before taking an unnecessary breath. Anna took the gift bag as he held it out to her, he leaned back against his car watching as she opened it to reveal a maroon velvet box. She delicately held the small box in her hand as Jasper took the bag and placed it into the car before turning his attention to her. Anna carefully opened the box and let out a quiet gasp at the ring resting in the box, her eyes watered slightly as she gently ran her finger across the bloodstone.

"It belonged to mother and I want you to have it," Jasper whispered to her as he wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Jas..." Anna breathed out in amazement, he could feel the love and adoration coming off of her. "It's a promise. A promise that I will always love you. That─That I promise you eternity," Jasper told her causing Anna to turn around and look at him with a wide smile on her face. "You do?" Anna asked him as a tear fell from her eye. "I do," Jasper whispered before the two kissed.

"This is my promise to you, darlin'," Jasper told her as he slipped the ring onto her ring finger, the two kissed again before Jasper growled. He turned his head to see Jacob standing there watching them closely, Bella had just walked away from him and Jasper knew that Jacob wanted to talk to Anna. "He wants to talk to you," Jasper spoke coldly before locking eyes with Edward, they weren't sure what Jacob knew but they had to be careful.

Anna swiftly kissed Jasper on the lips before making her way over to Jacob, a smile slowly appeared on his face as she got closer to him. "Hey, Jakey!" Anna cheered before the two hugged each other. "Happy birthday, Bethy," Jacob replied despite his glare towards Jasper. The two pulled away from each other with happy smiles on their faces. "So, to what do I the pleasure of your visit?" Anna asked with a smirk on her face.

"I wanted to give you a gift," Jacob told her before holding up keys causing Anna's brows to furrow before her eyes widened. "No way!" Anna cheered before snatching the keys. "You didn't, did you?" Anna asked him before Embry and Quil walked up pushing a motorbike. "Holy shit!" Anna breathed out before walking up to the bike, she ran her fingers across the matte black bike and let her bottom lip pout out. "This is..." Anna took in a deep breath before looking at the three boys.

"It's from me and dad," Jacob told her before she hugged him again. "I love it!" Anna cheered before hugging Embry and Quil. "Why are they getting hugs? They didn't do anything?" Jacob asked with furrowed brows while the two boys laughed. "Because they assisted you, Jakey. Be nice!" Anna scolded with a smirk before walking away from them and sitting on the motorbike.

"Gotta admit, you look good on a bike," Embry expressed with a smirk on his face while Anna rolled her eyes. "And you'd look good on the other side of a door," Anna teased making Quil and Jacob laugh. "That's sweet," Embry replied sarcastically. "But in all seriousness, this is freaking awesome. Thank you," Anna told Jacob genuinely before hugging him again.

"You're welcome. Now, we need to get going or we'll be late for school," Jacob replied before grabbing Embry and Quil ─ the two were attempting to flirt with a couple of Seniors. "Bye boys!" Anna called out to them with a giggle before looking back at her new motorbike. "I don't know whether to focus on the fact you look real good on that bike or the fact you could get seriously hurt," Jasper's drawl made her smirk as he walked up behind her.

"Would a little bit of both be acceptable?" Anna asked as she turned to look at her boyfriend, the Southern Charmer was already smirking at her. "I guess that can work, darlin'. How about we move it by my car?" Jasper asked. "Good idea," Anna answered but before she could attempt to move it, Jasper had already beaten her to it without a threat of sweat. "I bet that inhuman strength is great about now, huh?" Anna asked teasingly as she followed him.

"Oh, darlin'... This strength isn't just 'cause I'm inhuman," Jasper teased with a smirk that sent a pleasurable chill down her spine. "Oh lord..." Anna whispered causing Jasper's smirk to deepen before he suddenly trapped her between him and his car. "Careful darlin', I feel that too..." Jasper whispered to Anna who shuddered under his gaze, her knees were weak and her heart was racing in joy. Anna leaned forward and kissed Jasper, the vampire didn't hesitate to kiss her back.

"You aren't serious!?" Tyler shrieked as he and Anna walked down the hall towards their next class. "I am serious, Ty. Jakey got me a whole bike for my birthday so you may have some serious competition in the best friend role," Anna teased with a smirk while Tyler pouted. "That's not funny," Tyler replied before the two began laughing together. "Anna!" Alice's sweet voice caught the blonde's attention. "I'll see you in class," Anna told Tyler who nodded before walking away leaving Anna with Alice and Colton.

"Happy birthday!" Alice cheered with a smile before pulling Anna into a tight hug. "Thank you!" Anna gasped back with a wide smile. "Careful love, you need to remember she's fragile and I don't think Jasper will appreciate you breaking his mate," Colton warned his love with a small smirk. "It's alright, Colton. I'm fine," Anna assured him as Alice let go. "I'm glad you are excited for your birthday," Alice told her cheerfully before a smirk appeared on her face.

"What did you see?" Anna asked with narrowed eyes but the smile on her face only made Alice smile back. "I can't say but you will find out soon," Alice answered with a wide grin before holding out a small bag. "Alice, you really didn't─" Anna began but Alice cut her off. "They're earrings and I've already seen that you love them, plus they match your dress for the party tonight," Alice informed her with her usual cheery tone.

"I do not doubt that. However, I was unaware about a birthday party considering Bella wants to avoid celebrating our birthday," Anna expressed with a sigh before opening the velvet box that revealed some gorgeous bloodstone earrings that matched the ring resting on her finger. "Oh wow... they are beautiful," Anna breathed out before pulling Alice into a hug. "Thank you!" Anna cheered as she pulled away from Alice.

"Of course! Now, I'll let you get to class but remember to look really good for tonight," Alice told her before winking causing Anna to furrow her brows. "Bye!" Alice waved as she and Colton walked away leaving Anna stunned with unknown knowledge yet content excitement. She made her way into class and took her seat next to Tyler, due to the assigned seats in mathematics. Anna turned her head to look at Jasper who smirked at her though Anna found it strange not seeing Emmett next to him.

"Excited" Jasper mouthed to her making her smile and nod. "It'll be great," Anna mouthed back as the teacher began class. Anna had no idea what the Cullen family had planned for her and Bella's eighteenth birthday but she assumed that she would love it and Bella was bound to hate it which made it all the more interesting. Though, Anna felt like tonight was gonna change things and she wasn't quite sure whether or not that was a good thing yet.

Rosemary Speaks
It's gonna be a slight challenge to write this next part as it's more original content rather than following the movies.

But I hope I'll make it interesting enough.
