Presents

I looked at the tiny girl curled up in my arms. Her heart rate was slow, a sure sign of the peaceful slumber etched into her face. She had been sleeping for three hours now. Not that I minded. I didn't have to move. I was content to just watch her. All day.

Pushing a stray curl off her face, I wondered what it would have been like, to have my own child. The one that drove me to end my life…to be saved by Carlisle. To find love. Sadly, my child wasn't with me…but Edward's was. She looked so much like him too.

I glanced back down at Renesmee, and kissed her forehead. The child stirred against my cool touch, but didn't awake. A cough got my attention, and I smiled at Edward as he stood in the doorway. Bella was right behind him, wiping some spilt blood off her shirt. They had obviously returned back from their hunting trip.

This meant I would have to eventually give up the baby. Back to her parents.

Edward smiled at me. "Mom."

I grinned and shushed him. "You'll wake her." Bella sat down next to me, resting her head on my shoulder, looking down at her daughter. I leaned against her, thanking my lucky stars for all that she had unintentionally given me.

Edward sat down across from us, watching the women in his life. Three generations. Mother, wife, daughter…how strange it was that I was technically only a few years older than Bella. Edward smiled, his topaz eyes shining brilliantly. "A few years mom?"

Bella looked up. "Hmm?"

I smiled at my son. How could I forget that he read minds. He grinned in response. Bella huffed a little noise at him, mad at being left out. He gave her a wink.

Jasper and Emmett walked in. My other two sons…such handsome men. Jasper hugged Bella. "We're going fishing. Want to come along?"

Bella arched an eyebrow. "Fishing?"

Emmett grinned. "Shark fishing. We usually use Alice as the bait." Edward snickered.

I rolled my eyes. "Go on. It's fun. I'll watch Nessie a bit more." Bella laughed and nodded, kissing her sleeping daughter. Edward took her hand, and they all went outside, making jokes about Bella swimming with the sharks.

I waved to them and turned my attention back to my granddaughter. "Ah, Ness…when you're older, there are so many stories I'll get to tell you. Like what it was like living in my time, how your father was so afraid of your mother. I'll tell you the story of Carlisle, and how he saved me." She stirred, but didn't wake. "And of course I'll tell you how your grandpa saved Rosalie, who in turn saved Emmett." I smiled fondly. "They were always meant for each other. It was love at first sight." Renesmee opened one eye. Just like her mother's had been. A deep and warm brown. She put a hand to my cheek…flashing images of her family.

There was Emmett, kissing Rosalie on the porch the other night. Edward and Bella curled up on the couch, playing rock paper scissors. Me and Carlisle painting an old table he had found for me at a garage sale. And lastly, Nessie showed me a scene of Jasper and Alice, laying in the sun together. I understood immediately. She knew they were all in love. But what did that leave her.

I kissed her nose. "Ah, baby Nessie…that's where the story will get the best. You see…Rosalie chose Emmett, Alice found Jasper, and your mom and dad were destined from the moment he saw her." She smiled. "And you, my sweetling, will find love too." I didn't mention Jacob. That was a sore spot in the family still.

Renesmee looked at me with wonder. She pushed her hand to my cheek again, her visions swirling around the pictures of Nahuel and Jacob. I frowned. "No little lovedy…you don't have to love them both." Her thoughts were centered on the two men in her life that weren't family. Jacob, who had imprinted on her…and Nahuel, who had slowly begun to show himself more and more to the family. She knew a bit about Jacob's imprinting…and liked him…but Nahuel confused her.

I sighed and picked her up. "When you're older, you'll understand. This is for you to decide only. I kissed her and set her down to play.

She sat on the floor, watching me walk around, her eyes never leaving me. And I got the feeling that she was happy. Genuinely happy.

6 YEARS LATER

Nessie POV

"Happy Birthday!" I groaned at the shouts from my family. I had begged and pleaded to have a quiet birthday. But NOOO…Alice insisted. Much to my mom's amusement.

I blinked in the light of the kitchen at the beautiful people around the table…all smiling at me. "Thanks guys."

My dad grinned and kissed my forehead, his breath cool against my warm skin. "Aww, come on honey…it's not everyday someone turns...seven."

My mom embraced me. "You're officially all grown up. Forever." It was strange how we looked the same age. I could pass as sisters with my mom and aunts. Even my grandma. I was seven, with the permanent body of an eighteen year old. Awesome.

My aunt Alice danced over to me, giving me a hug. "Presents!" Her voice was like music to my ears. Presents were always fun. Alice gave me a giant box, with a pink bow on it. I looked at her suspiciously. Like my mother, anything that Alice gave me with a bow on it scared me. I opened the lid, and a grin flashed across my face. It was a beautiful dress. A shiny brown fabric, it had pink dots on it, and a pink ribbon around the waist.

Alice grinned at my expression. It was the dress I had pointed out on one of our shopping excursions. Of course she had remembered. "Do you like? I figured you could wear it to your party today." She held up a pair of the same colored pink heels.

I smiled. "Thanks Alice." I hugged her and grinned at my Aunt Rosalie walking towards me. Another box in her arms.

Rosalie hugged me and handed the box to me. "Careful…" She paused. "This is only a teaser gift."

I was immediately suspicious. Opening the box I laughed in surprise. It was filled with fireworks…lots and lots of fireworks. Oh this party was going to be fun. Rose handed me another box. A lot smaller. I opened it and grinned up at her. "Aww, Rose…"

A beautiful charm bracelet was in the box. It's silver links mostly bare, except for the Cullen seal dangling from one of the rings. I hugged my aunt. Rosalie smiled at me and made room for my Grandma. Esme knelt in front of me and handed me an large book, it's leather covers well warn.

"I think it's about time you have this." I opened the book and smiled. Very old photos of my whole family. And more recent ones as well. I giggled as I saw a picture of my dad, rocking the 1940s look. Emmett looked even funnier in a leisure suit. But the one that really got to me was Jasper. The photo was worn, and very very old. He was in his Confederate uniform, his eyes sharp and watchful at the camera. I looked up at my favorite uncle with a grin. Not much had changed, if anything, he was more handsome now.

I thanked my grandma, and then realized it was the men's turn. Carlisle gave me a new bat to play baseball with, since mine had broken when I had slugged Emmett with it. Who knew vampires could be so hard? Emmett gave me a five thousand dollar check for clothes shopping. To which Alice happily squealed. Five thousand was pocket change to my family, but it was plenty to get me a closet full of clothes I wouldn't grow out of in two weeks.

Jasper grinned at me, and handed me a tiny blue box, with a silver ribbon on it. Inside was a beautiful necklace consisting of a large blue stone, and tiny diamonds shining brilliantly around it. I squealed and threw my arms around him in a hug. I could hear Alice laugh as Jasper held me close for a moment, but then sat me back down. His smile was enough of a gift for me.

He coughed and motioned to my parents. "I think they're next." My dad grinned at him, and tossed me a key chain with a key attached. I looked at it, and my eyes nearly rolled in the back of my head.

"Dad…no way…you're kidding?" He shook his head, and my mom laughed. I ran outside and squealed. Sitting outside was the most beautiful car in the world. A brand new Lamborghini Embolado. It's metallic gray paint sparkled in the sun. I screamed and ran over to the car, my family watching me with smiles. We all loved fast cars. Opening the doors I drooled over the black leather interior, the chrome accents, the advanced electronics. Jacob was going to have a fit.

I heard my dad laugh, and ran over to him, hugging him as tight as I could. He kissed the top of my head and turned me to my mother. She was waiting with another key ring in her hands. "Well, Ness…since we both know this car is far to ostentatious for you to drive to basic locations…" She tossed me the key ring just as Jasper drove out of the garage. I cheered. A shiny black Dodge Charger, fully loaded was mine. All mine.

I hugged my mom. "Thank you soo much! This is the best birthday ever!" Everyone laughed and hugged me. My mom embraced me for a long time, and I could just imagine what she was thinking. Her little girl was an adult. It was a bit much for her to take in. I touched her cheek, reassuring her. I would always be her little girl.

After a while, Alice began to look impatient. "Ok, ok…she's been hugged and kissed enough. I have to go get her ready for her party." She shot glares at Edward. He laughed. "Right…I'll go get things ready."

TBC. I plan on writing way more. The cars and other stuff are in my profile.
