" I though I told you not to get anything for me!" I growled at the sight before me.
Presents elegantly wrapped surrounded the enormous tree, flourished with millions of ornaments. Alice.
A sigh escaped through my lips before I could stop myself. Too late. Renesmee saw.
She touched my icy paled face gently.
Mommy what's wrong?
" Nothing…" I tried to keep a poker face. Jake coughed loudly from the corner.
I shot him a glare. He was spending the Christmas with Renesmee and had helped with the surprise decoration.
Edward smirked at me before wrapping his hands around my waist. His ice cold breath brushed against my ear.
" Don't worry love, I didn't spend a dime…well….on you that is."
At that moment Alice rushed in. She lightly skipped to me, and cringed at my icy glare.
" Come on Bella! Renesmee's first Christmas here…lighten up for just today okay?"
I grimaced but half smiled. My stone face was still working on it.
She bit her lip, trying not to laugh. "Good enough."
Then with a twirl she skipped over to the huge stack of presents. "Nessie first!" Her voice trilled and a small box whirled toward her way.
Renesmee caught it and tore it open with a smooth reflex motion.
" Thanks auntie!....What is it?" Her expression scrunched up in confusion.
" An itouch." Edward explained how to use it to her while Alice ran around like a mini Santa Claus.
Rosalie got a key to her new convertible. ( Jake made a dent in it while playing ultimate football with Seth. Rosalie almost killed him.)
Emette got a new hot tub complete with state of the art structure. Esme got a dazzling diamond cashmere scarf that she wanted. Carlise got a touch screen laptop complete with a digital writing pen (used for his work). Edward got the newest model of a grand piano that he had wanted.
" Last but not least, Bella!" Alice sang and shoved a small box into my hand.
She checked my expression. " I know, I know, I know, no spending but I couldn't help it! And don't worry it's not some big fancy thing…well…at least not to us."
I sighed and opened the box before she could consider getting me something else.
Inside in the soft velvet cotton was a gold charm bracelet. It held 9 charms. The wolf Jake had given me. The heart Edward had given me. But they had been restored to last forever. For Carlisle was a cross. Esme a beautiful flower. Rosalie a glass diamond. Emette a…bear? ( I was suprised he didn't write some induendos on it) Alice a tiara. Jasper a cresent moon. And Renesmee…a golden snowflake with the word Forevor engraved on the side.
I felt the tears that I couldn't shed come up to my eyes. "Oh Alice." My voice broke.
" I know." She smiled.
Edwards arms were around me then and I felt his cool lips press against my marble lips.
" Merry Christmas, love."
