It was two weeks until Bella's first Christmas with her vampire family, the Cullen's. Alice was trying to get her to go shopping but Bella tried to tell her she had already gotten what she needed.
"But Bellaaaaaa you just have to come with me! I need you opinion."
"Alice you can just see if they will like the gift or not in your vision, you don't need me."
But of course, Alice being Alice, she wasn't about to give up. She flashed Bella those big, old, golden, puppy dog eyes and the next thing she knew, Alice was jumping up and down squealing
"YAY! Thank you Bella! We leave tomorrow morning."
Suddenly, Bella felt two cold arms winding around her, as her heart rate picked up,
"You know love, you don't really have to give into her like that", came that velvety smooth voice belonging to that perfect being known as Edward Cullen.
"Besides," he breathed "I'd much rather you stay here with me."
Bella's face immediately flushed a color of red. Edward couldn't help but laugh softly, loving that he had that effect on her.
"Come on Edward! Let her come with me!" Alice's voice breaking the trance Edward seemed to always put on Bella.
"Sorry Alice. Maybe some other time." He replied as he carried Bella out of the room.
Alice turned around but stopped as she heard Emmett and Jasper's voices downstairs insulting each other. Within seconds Alice found herself downstairs joined by the rest of the family, Carlisle, Rosalie, Esme, Edward, and Bella (who was still in Edward's arms.)
"Come on Jasper! Give me your best shot!"
Emmett called out while in a fighting stance.
"Can you two please do this outside I do like this house quite a bit." Esme said in her mom/do it or get hurt voice. Everyone was outside in seconds.
"What's going on?" Bella whispered to Edward, pushing closer to him due to the cold weather.
"Don't worry love; they do this all the time. Pointless wrestling matches are big in this family."
"Yeah and I always win!" Taunted Emmett, testing Jaspers patience.
"Lets get it on then" Jasper called back, lunging towards
Emmett. What happened next was nearly a blur in Bella's eyes. All she heard was the calls of Emmett and Jasper, and the booming sound of trees being knocked over, boulders being
broken. It helped that Edward was telling her the play by play though.
"Emmett has got Jasper where he wants him, cornered against a tree about a mile away."
Bella saw a trail of broken trees leading deeper into the forest.
"Whats happening now?"
Bella, being curious, asked. She found herself interested, wondering who would win.
"Emmett knows jasper will either try to go around his left or his right. He's thinking about grabbing his arm and tossing him into the air..."
Edward trailed off and started laughing, which was soon joined by the laughter of everyone else... well except for Emmett. Jasper appeared from the forest raising his arms in victory before joining his family and kissing Alice. Bella was extremely confused. She assumed Emmett had lost, but what was so funny? That's when she saw Emmett emerge from the forest with a frown on his face and mud covering every inch of his body. Bella burst out in laughter along with her family.
"How the heck did you end up finding mud in the middle of winter?" giggled Alice.
Emmett shot her a glare as cold as the snow on the ground.
"Don't be mad at Alice for me flipping you over into the mud." Jasper teased, squeezing Alice to him in a sideways embrace.
"The only reason you won was because Edward told you what I was going to do next!" Emmett huffed mumbling
Damn mind reader before going inside accompanied by a smiling Rosalie "Don't step on the carpet!" called out esme softly knowing he would hear it. "Come on Bella your freezing" gestured
Edward leading Bella inside with Alice, jasper, Esme and Carlisle right behind them snickering all the way
