(Cole P. O. V)
I woke up beside Nikki, when I came here to check up on her, I saw her fall asleep in the window. So, I carried her in my arms tucked her in the bed, and got inside the bed beside her. I saw her still sleeping peacefully and looked at the clock to see its 7 in the morning. I kiss her head and walk out of her room to my room. to get ready for the day.
After getting ready I walk downstairs to see Stella and Mom making Nikki’s favourite breakfast, while Emma is decorating a chocolate cake for her.
“Good morning, everyone,” I said walking toward them and sitting on the stool.
“Good morning, is Nikki waking up yet?” Emma asks smiling at me.
“Not yet, so is there anything I can do for you guys to help you?” I ask them wanting to do something for my mate.
“Why don’t you go and keep an eye on Nikki, and inform us, if she wakes up from her sleep?” Mom asks me, I nod my head walk back to her room and keep looking at her while she sleeps peacefully.
After some time, I hear some footsteps and walk out of the room to see Emma with the cake and knife in her hand, Stella my parents, Kein, and Ryan walking towards us.
“Okay, is everyone ready?” Emma asked with a huge smile on her face and we nodded our heads at her.
“We will go inside the room, and start singing Happy Birthday at the count of 3, okay?” she asks and we nod our heads at us. We walked inside the room, and at the count of 3 we all started singing the happy Birthday song and walked toward her.

I woke up, and as I opened my eyes, I saw everyone dear to me, singing Happy Birthday to me, with a big smile on their face with a cake in Emma’s hand. She comes and sits on the edge of the bed. I get up and sit in the bed.
“Close your eyes and make a wish,” she said and I did the same wishing that no matter what the future shows to us, my family always stays like this happy, healthy, and safe. I blew the candle and everyone clapped for me. Emma gave me a knife to cut the cake, and I cut it and then fed them one by one with a big smile on my face.
“So where is my birthday gift?” I ask smiling at them.
“Get ready and come to the living room, you will receive your birthday gift there,” Emma said smiling at me, and everyone walked out of my room. I sigh and look upon the ceiling, how I wish Trevor was here to celebrate such an important day with me, I thought when I heard a knock on the door. I saw a beautiful owl standing in the window. I walked towards the window and saw that he was carrying a letter on his beach and he was carrying something on his neck.
“Is this in for me,” I asked him and he nodded his head at me. I take the letter from his beak and take the thing wrapped in his neck which is wrapped in a gift wrapper.
“Thank you,” I said to him and he flew away. I close the window and open the letter to read it.
*Dear Nikki,
If you are reading this letter, that means I am not there with you anymore. When Cole told me that, he had found you and we were going to attack those, bad vampires, I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that I wouldn’t be able to make it from there. So, I am writing this letter and some more letters before going there to find you with Cole. When the time for another letter comes you will receive it.
Nikki, I have always known, you have had a very special child from that day, I don’t know how but I just know that since the day I saw you for the first time, I want you to know, that no matter wherever are, no matter if I am alive or not, I will always love you, and I will keep guiding you, whenever you lost your way, I will push you whenever you south yourself and always be there for you looking after you, alive or dead whenever you need me.
I love you, Nikki, as my own child and I will always be going to love you. I have a gift wrapped in that paper I hope you like it.
Love,
Trevor*
I read and a lone tear falls down my eyes. I wipe it and open the gift to see a heart-shaped locket in a gold chain. When I opened the locket, I saw my picture on one side of the locket and Trevor’s picture on the other side. I smile at it and wear it. Then walk to my room and get ready for the day.
I walk downstairs to the living room to see everyone waiting for me for breakfast. As I step on the last step of the stairs everyone comes and wishes me happy birthday and gives me their gifts.
“Wow, Nikki Nice locket, where did you get it?” Stella asks me.
“Trevor gives it to her, as her 16th birthday gift,” Emma answered the question for me and everyone looked at her like she had lost her mind except me.
“A day before you guys attack the rogues, to rescue me, Trevor had a feeling that he would not able to make it alive from there, so he had gift and letter prepared for me, just in case,” I explain to them and they nodded their head in understanding.
“Let’s go and have breakfast, I am starving,” Emma said and we all walked to the dining room to have breakfast.
“So, Nikki how would you like to celebrate your birthday?” Emma asks while sipping her coffee.
“I would like to go on a picnic just as a family and spend time with you all since I am going to stay here for 2 years, I want to spend all my time with my family and instead of having a huge ass party,” I said smiling at her.
“Okay then, picnic it is, just give me some time to find a place for a picnic and secure it for our protection, we will go there in the evening okay,” she asked and I nodded at her.
“Till then why don’t you spend time, watching movies and playing with others?” Emma asked and I nodded at her. After breakfast we all headed to the treat room, Emma showed us into a mansion and then left us alone and did not appear till late afternoon.
