Carlisle and Esme's gift for Bella

This is my first fan fiction, I hope you like it. The thought just came to me after I saw the new pictures from the breaking dawn filming. Please Review!

I fixed the spacing cause I was getting reviews it was hard to read. I hope this is better. I'm thinking about doing another story similar to this where Esme and Carlisle give Renesmee a gift to welcome her. Let me know what you think and maybe some ideas.

Chapter 1: The Design

Esme's POV

I was sitting in Carlisle and I's bedroom going over the plans for the crumbling cottage out in the woods not too far from the main house.

Alice had foreseen that Bella and Edward were probably going to want some alone time after returning from their honeymoon and I couldn't bear to have them too far away. The old

cottage was crumbling away out there and upon further inspection I decided that after fixing it up and adding a few of my personal touches it would be the perfect fit for Edward and Bella.

Bella would love it.

I of course discussed this with Edward, when I was able to tear him away from Bella of course and he was able to put a little bit of his own input into the house as well, and Alice made

sure to put her input in as well. 'She will need a huge closet.' I still don't understand why there was now a large closet off the bedroom on my plans. I was however keeping the cottage a

secret from Bella.

With the wedding just a week away, my family was spread around the house engaged in a variety of activities.

Edward was of course with Bella at her house. They were spending as much time together as possible. Edward had been attempting to calm Bella down as much as possible.

Alice was hard at work on the wedding planning. Everything had to be absolutely perfect in her eyes. At the moment she was on the phone confirming that everything was set to arrive on

the day and on time. Emmett and Jasper had escaped the craziness of the house and had gone hunting and were not expected back until tomorrow. Rosalie was pouting and working on

her car in the garage. She was still not happy about Bella becoming one of us and wasting her life.

Carlisle was due home from the hospital within the hour which was good; I had something that I wanted to talk to him about. I had been thinking about this ever since Alice had told us

that Bella was allowing her to plan her and Edward's wedding. Bella would be joining our family and eventually becoming one of us. I had wanted to do something special for Bella ever

since.

We had all received items from Carlisle upon joining the family and I wanted to ensure that Bella was not excluded. I had been debating for a few weeks at what piece of jewelry would best fit Bella's style.

I heard Edward mention to Alice that Bella was not found of jewelry and I got the sense that Bella was even uncomfortable wearing the engagement ring that was currently on her left

hand. The piece would have to be simple. I abandoned my plans and grabbed a fresh piece of paper and began to sketch out pieces of jewelry.

I was working on a bracelet design when Carlisle walked into our bedroom. "Good evening my love." "Welcome home." "And what are you working on so intently?" "Well I wanted to talk

to you actually." "What about?" "I think we should get Bella something to welcome her into the family. You gave each of us a piece of jewelry with our family crest on it and I was thinking

that we should do the same for Bella." "It is almost as if you read my mind. I have been thinking about it for a few days now. I have always given my new family members an item. It has

always been their choice however." "But Bella is not fond of jewelry and you know how much she is opposed to gifts of any kind." "Yes I know that." "But this is special. It is a welcome to

our family gift." "Alright, what did you have in mind?"

I showed Carlisle my sketches. "I was hoping to talk to Edward tonight, when he comes home to change before returning to Bella." "You will have to catch him before Alice gets to him."

"That is true. Well as soon as you decide on a design send it off to be made immediately. I think the best time for us to present it to her is at the ceremony." "That sounds like a wonderful

plan. We can perhaps pull her and Edward aside and present her with the gift." "I will talk with Edward this evening. Perhaps he can help me decide on a design. I hope she likes it." "You

will have to ask Alice." "I will."

I gave my husband a kiss before returning to my sketches. At a little after midnight I heard Edward enter the back door and climb the stairs before entering his bedroom. I quickly stood up

from my desk and grabbed my plans before heading up the stairs to Edward's bedroom.

I knew he could hear me, but out of courtesy I knocked on the door and waited for Edward to allow me to enter. "Come in Esme." I opened the door and entered his room. Edward was

quickly grabbing new clothes to change into before heading back to his beloved Bella. "Edward can I talk to you before you leave? I'll be quick; I know you don't like leaving Bella too long."

"Of course Esme, what would you like?" "Carlisle and I would like to present Bella with a crest to welcome her into the family and we are unsure as to what piece of jewelry she might like

and I was hoping that maybe you could help me to decide." "Of course and I think Bella will really appreciate your gift." "I need to decide because the piece needs to be completed for the

wedding." "Alright Esme I will do my best, perhaps you should talk to Alice as well." "Edward you know Bella." "Alright."

I handed the paper to Edward and he studied it for a few moments. "I think Bella would like the bracelet Esme." Edward had selected a simple silver cuff bracelet with a small crest on top.

"That is the one that I had selected but I wanted your opinion as well." "Esme I'm sure Bella will love anything that you select." 'Thank you Edward." "I'm sorry Esme but I have to get back

to Bella." "Of course. Are you going to bring her around today?" "Perhaps." "I would love to see her." "I will bring her by." "Thank you."

I gave Edward a kiss on the cheek before he ran out the door and across the river and back to Bella's house. When it was a respectable time I would send my design into the jewelers to

be made. I would have to bribe them to have it made quickly but if there was anything that I had learned about my new life was that humans would do anything for you if you offered them

a large sum of money in which to do it.

At 9 in the morning I decided it was an acceptable time to make a trip to Seattle and our jeweler.
