Disclaimer: I am not the owner of Twilight. I'll leave the real series to my favorite author Stephenie Meyer; she's doing a great enough job
I hope your enjoying this. Here is another chapter. P.S. I'll only keep writing if you tell me to, so keep review please (yay).
BPOV
Edward looked into my eyes and my conscious began to fall asleep. "I keep forgetting your not my fragile little Bella, not that I mind the muscle". His eyes never ceased that dazzling trick I hoped was only good on humans. It was odd being able to hold Edward; but it was rewarding to not feel insufficient in something.
"No worries, I'll always be your Bella." Edward raised his head meeting his lips with mine. There he goes again, giving me that warm and fuzzy feeling everywhere. Didn't he just fall? This is no fair. I opened my eyes to regain consciousness. "You're lucky you're so sweet. Have I ever told you that you taste like candy? I finally know what Jacob meant when he talked of about a gross, sweet smell. I like it though".
Edward laughed so hard the floor shook. "Well, I'm glad you like it". I stood up as Edward balanced himself. "Is that lipstick?"
"Yea…well…since I was changed I kind of like how it looks".
"I refuse to live with any imitation of Rosalie. I know I wanted you to be more confident, but don't go overboard".
"Darling its just lipstick." I giggled as I usually did when Edward was prepared to put his foot down.
"You're lucky it looks so sweet on you". His sarcastic, but stern face made me giggle even more. I have to admit (not to Edward though) I have been looking at more cosmetics lately. If Edward knew what its like to feel like an ugly ducking, he would be excited to. All my split ends are gone. Instead of a boring ivory, my skin shimmers know. My golden eyes are what I like the best. I feel like one of those girls in a Mabelline advertisement, instead of the insecure girl looking at one.
"Sweaty I won't lie to you. You're probably going to see a lot more cosmetics filling the bathroom draws. I look good and it looks good on me so I'd appreciate some support Edward". This putting your foot down thing is fun.
"This marriage would be easier if you weren't so attractive". He lowered his head in defeat and made some sort of pouting face before turning around to walk out the doorway. --
EPOV
"Happy birthday Carlisle…this is from me and your daughter-in-law". I chucked the large cube wrapped in sparkling gold paper. Carlisle opened the gift happily. Edward's the only one of my children who manages to always get me what I want. Then again, he would be wouldn't he? Carlisle's grin was priceless as he looked at the new Marble Caduceus Paperweight with his name engraved. If were possible he would probably cry.
"Thanks you two. This means a lot to me." Carlisle stood to give me an embrace, then matched it with one he gave to Bella as well. The atmosphere was perfect in the house today. The way Alice decorated would make an unfamiliar person think that we were expecting some celebrity to the house.
"May I submit mine now?" Jasper knew to take today's opportunity to be laid back. Sooner or later somebody would get into an argument, stressing him out against his will. He handed Carlisle a bag with more than enough tissue paper, no doubt the culprit was Alice for such a bag. Carlisle reached inside for what seemed like ten minutes. After a while he just turned the bag upside down. Out fell a small box. Carlisle picked it up as he suspiciously looked at Jasper. What can this be? Carlisle's eyes widened to a platinum watch.
"Look at the band" Jasper was thoroughly pleased with Carlisle's reaction. Top that Edward. I stared Jasper down till he looked away. He knows better than to try to top me.
"Its says from Jazz to the best father I could ever ask for".
Okay that's enough, it's my turn." Emmett walked over from where he was sitting with his usual cockiness. "You'll love what I got you Carlisle". Emmett set his present in front of Carlisle, as Esme rolled her eyes.
"Let's see what we have here". Carlisle reached into the bag and felt around the tissue paper with a puzzled look on his face. He breathed a sigh if relief when he could feel the goal object as he pulled it out. He pulled out a rectangle box with calligraphy written on the top. Carlisle's puzzled look returned to his face.
"Go on, open it". Emmett's face was ecstatic. Alice looked as if she was about to explode with laughter. Carlisle opened the box and held up a pair of nunchucks.
"Thanks Emmett. They are…unique". If I won't allow him to fight anywhere, why would he think I'd want a weapon? "I'll hang them in my office as a memory". Emmett smiled smugly. Rosalie covered her face in embarrassment and lifted her head to look at Carlisle.
"This one is from me and Alice". Rosalie slid her present across the table at the speed of light. Carlisle stopped it with his hand, and then looked down to see it for himself. "You'll like this". Alice giggled as Rosalie eyed Emmett. Emmett's face looked puzzled as he stared back at Rosalie. She must be jealous she didn't think of the nonchucks.
Carlisle softly tore the shimmering, purple paper off the present. It was a scrapbook. Carlisle opened it to see a collage of sepia pictures. There Carlisle went again with those invisible tears.--
CPOV
There Edward was in that tailored brown suit I bought for him in 1920. It was his birthday gift. A tailored suit for Edward: 50. Paying innocent people Edward tried to attack all those years ago to keep quiet: 90. A look into the past: Priceless.--

Times like this I with I could cry. Finally, the perfect excuse to do so arrives and I can't do it. Ironically, my hand still reacted to rubbing my eyelids as is tear needed to be wiped away. Hmmm, I sure feel unusually light. "BELLA". Why is Edward screaming; he's going to have to get rid of this shouting habit. It's annoying me now. As I turned my head to the right Edward's face was not there. Instead there were pictures on a shelf. What is going on. All of a sudden my consciousness screamed and forced me to look down; I realized that everyone was looking up at me. I'm floating. I never thought I would wish I had appreciated gravity more as a human. Slowly, I lowered myself back into my chair to join the rest of my family.
"Sorry. I forgot that I do that when I don't pay attention". Everyone laughed softly. Edward just put his arms around me and showered my face with kisses, saving the last one for my mouth. --
"That was great. I can't wait till next year. As a matter of fact, I just might start planning for Carlisle's next birthday not". Edward laughed as we got out the Volvo.
"Calm down Bella. We don't want to overwhelm the man".
"I know but don't you think…what's that smell? Do you smell it?"
"Yes, actually it smells a bit familiar". That calmed me down. If Edward can recognize it, it must not be too bad. Naturally, the smell got stronger as we walked into the house. "Its upstairs". I followed Edward up the steps and into the bedroom. In there was a woman sitting on the couch that took the place of where a bed should be; she was too comfortable. Before I could think I was crouched on all fours, ready to pounce and shred. "It's okay honey". Forget the girl, why is Edward okay with this scene?
"OKAY. Are you crazy? A burglar is in our home, in our bedroom." I'm ready to tear somebody to shreds if I don't get an explanation.
"Sweetheart believe me, she's not a burglar. Tanya what are you doing here?"
Okay, what do you think? PLEASE REVIEW. I'm only writing if readers say to do so because I don't want to be the only one reading this.
