Bella's POV
"I must say, Christmas could not come at a better time this year." Rosalie said cleaning up all the ripped wrapping paper. "I just hope all this stuff fits Olivia. It's so cute." She added holding up one of the many dresses we had all gotten Olivia for Christmas.
"I hope she likes pink. That's about the only color Alice picked out." I mumbled picking up all of Renesme's clothing gifts. Renesme was more into toys rather than clothes. I looked in the living room where Olivia and Renesme were happily playing with the many Barbies all of us had gotten them. In only 4 days they had become best friends. Almost like sisters. Probably because all they had were each other to play with…in their age group. They would never have real sisters. I mean Edward and I couldn't have any more and I doubted Rosalie would adopt any more. But I don't know, here I thought Rosalie would never adopt any. She's always the wild card.
"Girls, want to help me make some cookies?" Esme asked them from the Kitchen. The 2 girls looked up and looked at each other.
"Gramma, we're playing Barbies. It's just getting good. Renesme's person is gonna be in a fashion show!"
""A fashion show? Wouldn't want to interrupt that!" Esme said smiling. She put her hand over her heart and fought a tear.
"They are just so sweet together. They are like 2 peas in a pod. I'm so excited Renesme still is at that age where she still wants to play with her." Rosalie said happily folding one of the many dresses.
"So how do we like our presents?" Alice asked giving a kiss to Renesme and Olivia.
"Alice, Thank you so much. I needed clothes for her. I was just telling Bella Christmas could not come at a better time." Rosalie said throwing her arms around Alice.
"Renesme loves her stuff too. Especially the Barbie Shopping Mall. That's what they've been playing with all morning." I explained hugging Alice tightly.
"I'm so glad. There not just from me, Jasper too."
"Where is Jasper? Emmett and I have some presents for him." Rosalie said looking around.
"Yeah he hasn't been here all morning. That's quite unlike Jasper. I can't read his mind today. It's weird I haven't been able to read either of yours lately." Edward said making some eggs for Olivia.
"Edward can't read minds? That's odd." Carlisle said walking in the room. He put his arms around Esme's waist.
"I can read minds just not Alice and Jasper's."
"Well I don't know why. I just wanted to say hi I have to get back to my house." Alice said picking up her coat and started walking out the door.
"Whoa wait why do you have to leave already? Aren't you coming over for our annual Christmas Dinner?" Esme said. Alice whipped her short hair around.
"You guys went hunting?" She asked them. Carlisle and Esme looked at each other and nodded.
"When? Where?" Alice questioned nervously.
"We went yesterday in the Bucham Woods, why?" Edward asked referring to their short hunting trip yesterday. Every Christmas they would hunt and eat it together at their house on Christmas. I hadn't been hunting on over a month. It sounded so appetizing.
"Oh it's nothing me and Jasper were there yesterday. Did you guys hunt humans?"
"No we never do. Alice why are you asking these silly questions? Is there something you're not telling us?" Esme asked her obviously on to something since Alice was a horrible liar and she was making faces.
"No of course not I just really have to go." Alice said running out the door.
"What's up with her?" I asked everyone who was shaking their heads.
"I have no idea what is going through that child's head sometimes. Judging from all the faces she made, I think there's something she's not telling us." Esme said looking concerned.
"Hey maybe Bella and I can run down to their house and see if anything is going on." Edward said putting the cooked eggs on a plastic plate.
"Yeah we can go now." I added wondering what they could possibly be hiding. Maybe they weren't hiding anything.
"Be careful; don't let Alice or Jasper see you." Esme added opening the front door. Edward and I ran hand in hand quickly through the woods. We overheard a conversation between Jasper and Alice.
"I think we should just tell them. You said you saw them knowing on Christmas anyways."
"NO it's just so much to handle for them and for Charlie." Wait Charlie? As in my dad Charlie? It couldn't be. I leaned in to look through the window. A little brunette boy maybe 8 or 9 years old sat on their couch. He had been crying and he was looking at the floor. At least it wasn't the same Charlie as my dad. But I still wondered who this Charlie was.
"Who is that?" I whispered to Edward who squinted his eyes looking inside the window.
"Alice, It's going to come out eventually." Jasper said stroking her face with the back of his hand. She looked up at him.
"Your right, I guess it's time. I just don't want to steal Emmett and Rosalie's thunder. What if they're mad about us lying?"
"Alice I doubt they'll be mad you saved another life."
"That's just it. I didn't save another life I made him one of us. That's hardly saving him. I just couldn't let him die." Alice cried burying her face into Jasper's chest.
Jasper looked around and luckily didn't see us looking through the window. He spoke quietly, "Ok but they all still need to know there is a tracker in Forks. It could get dangerous."
