The Cullens were all sitting in the living room listening as Bella told Renesmee fairy tales. She had already told her Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White. Renesmee sat in her lap and read along with her, relishing the sweet golden time that she was sharing with her family.
"And they lived happily ever after" Bella finished.
"You don't seriously believe in all that mumbo jumbo, do you?" Emmett asked, standing up.
"I think it could be real" Esme smiled.
"No, I don't believe in it. It's all a bunch nonsense" Jasper said.
"Perhaps not" Alice whispered from beside him.
The doorbell rang and Carlisle went to answer the door, he came back a few minutes later with four boxes. He handed one to Bella, one to Esme, one to Alice and one to Rosalie. They all looked up at him with confusion etched all over their gorgeous faces.
"Someone just left them on the doorstep with your names on them" he clarified.
All of the girls began opening the boxes with their mates watching them intently. Esme opened her box and pulled out a pair of glass slippers, Alice got a red apple, Rosalie got a spinning a wheel and Bella had a red cloak. Esme marvelled at her new shoes, Alice looked slightly confused, Rosalie looked disgusted and Bella looked amused.
"Oh, how pretty" Esme said.
She quickly stood up, put on the shoes and a bright, white swirling light surrounded her. It spun around her until she was out of sight. When the light was gone, Esme was wearing a sparkling, white ballgown.
"Umm...okay" was all Alice could say. "Who sent me an apple?"
"Bit odd, isn't it?" Jasper said.
"Yeah, but it sure looks good" Alice said, sniffing it dreamily.
Rosalie looked at her gift from every angle, it was just a plain old spinning wheel that needed to be set up. She could do that easily. She walked off to do so, leaving everyone still looking at Esme except Alice who too entranced with the apple.
Bella looked at the cloak, it was a little red one with a hood that would fit her. Alice wandered off upstairs with her apple. Renesmee was still looking at Esme and smiling brightly.
"You look like Cinderella, Grandma" she said.
"Wait!" Bella shouted. "These are all just like the fairy tales"
"Snow White" Jasper murmured.
"Sleeping Beauty" Emmett said.
"Cinderella" Carlisle whispered.
"Little Red Riding Hood" Bella pouted, holding up her cloak.
