A/N: A big thank you to vampirelova99 for co-writing
New Beginnings Chapter 10: Christmas
"I can't believe that Christmas is tomorrow." Alice said placing an ornament on the Christmas tree.
"I know. It came so fast this year." Bella commented, looking at the huge tree. She thought about all that had happened in the past months that she had been changed. Bella didn't have any regrets since she had become a vampire and was glad that Edward had agreed to finally change her. Edward handed an new ornament to her to place on the tree and she smiled at him.
Earlier today Edward, Emmett, and Jasper had gone out into the forest to cut down a Christmas tree for the Cullens. They had brought back one of the biggest Christmas trees that any of them had ever seen and Alice, Rose, and Bella had gone out to buy some more ornaments so that they could fill it.
Carlisle and Esme had gone out to finish up their Christmas shopping and had left them in charge of decorating the tree. They wanted to finish it before they got back so they all quickly worked to make it look perfect.
They all finished just a few minutes before Esme and Carlisle came home.
"The tree looks great! Good job!" Esme said, admiring their work.
"Thanks, Esme." Edward replied.
They all talked for a little bit before Emmett stood up and announced that Edward, Jasper and him needed to go and take care of a few things.
They left the room and Alice took Bella and Rose into her room. She pulled out 3 sets of car keys from a drawer.
"I think we should put these in a box and stick it under the tree for them to open tomorrow." Alice said handing the keys to them.
"Good idea." Bella said and Rose nodded in agreement.
They each wrapped the keys in separate boxes and placed them under the tree. By the time they had finished, their husbands were back and it was late.
They all disappeared to their rooms and stayed there for the rest of the night.
"Merry Christmas, love." Edward said to Bella in the morning.
"Merry Christmas to you, too." Bella said after Edward kissed her.
"Are you ready to go downstairs?" He asked her.
She nodded and they went down to the tree.
When they arrived downstairs, everyone else was already down there
"Merry Christmas Everyone" said Bella and Edward.
"Merry Christmas" replied Everyone else.
"Shall we start giving out presents?" asked Esme.
"Yeah!" said Emmett loudly.
"Ok, Well I think we should give the boys their gifts from us first" said Bella.
"Good idea, because they are all the same type of present" said Alice.
"Very well, here you go boys" said Esme handing the boys their gifts from the girls. All of the boys opened their boxes at the same time
"An Aston Martin, which model?" asked Edward.
"A Shelby, is it the car I think it is?" asked Emmett.
"An Aston Martin DBS?" asked Jasper.
"Yes Emmett" said Rosalie.
"Yes Jasper" said Alice.
"Let's go into the garage" said Bella.
Everyone went into the garage where there were 3 cars covered over one next to Alice's Porsche which Alice led Jasper to, the 2nd one next to Emmett's Jeep which Rosalie led Emmett to and the 3rd one was next to Edward's Volvo which Bella led Edward to
"Ok boys take off the cloths" said Esme.
"Wow a Vanquish, but I didn't think they made these anymore" said Edward.
"We pulled some strings and got you a brand new one" said Carlisle.
"I'll get rid of the Volvo then" said Edward.
"Yes! A Knight Rider car" said Emmett enthusiastically.
"I knew you would like it" said Rosalie.
"I love it!" said Emmett.
"An Aston Martin DBS, I love it, thank you Alice" said Jasper.
"Your Welcome Jasper, we realised that you didn't have a car of your own so I got you one" said Alice.
"That was very thoughtful" said Jasper.
"Let's go back inside so we can give you guys your presents." Edward said, still admiring his new car.
"Yeah, you're going to love it!" Emmett said to Rose as he led her inside the house. Jasper and Alice followed them and Edward took Bella's hand and they went into the rest of their family.
"Did you boy's like the cars?" Carlisle asked them.
"Yes, they're great!" Emmett said with a huge smile on his face. Edward and Jasper just laughed in agreement.
"Here are your presents." Jasper said pulling out two envelopes. He handed one to Alice and one to Rose.
"Open them together." Emmett instructed and Alice and Rose opened the envelopes.
"Oh my god! We're going to Paris!" Alice yelled jumping up and down waving her plane ticket around in the air.
"Paris! Shopping!" Rose screamed. She threw her arms around Emmett to thank him.
"This is for you." Edward said once they had calmed down. He handed her an envelope and Bella opened it slowly. A big smile spread across her face as she saw what was inside the envelope.
"Tickets to the United Kingdom?" Bella asked.
"They are for our honeymoon, love." Edward said wrapping his arms around her.
"We're going to all of these places?" Bella asked looking through the tickets for Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland.
"Of course." replied Edward.
"I'm so excited! Thanks so much!" Bella said kissing Edward.
A couple of hours later
"I think it's time to call Angela, but I'll ask her to come tomorrow, so she can spend Christmas with her family" said Bella.
"Are you sure that you are ready to do this Bella?" asked Carlisle.
"I believe I could use your assistance Carlisle" replied Bella.
"Of course" said Carlisle.
"Yeah, hurry up and call her I want my new little sister" said Emmett enthusiastically. Rose slapped him round the back of the head
"Ow" said Emmett.
"Be patient, she may not want to be turned yet" said Rosalie.
"I'll call her" said Bella getting her cellphone out and dialling Angela's number.
"Hello" said Angela.
"Hi Angela, it's Bella, can you come over tomorrow?" asked Bella.
"Sure, why?" replied Angela.
"I have a Christmas present for you" replied Bella.
"Ok, see you tomorrow Bella" said Angela.
"Bye Angela" said Bella hanging up. For the rest of the day everyone prepared for Angela's visit and later that night, they all went hunting. They each got at least one reindeer since it was Christmas day and then returned home and went up to their rooms.
The next morning, everyone was downstairs
"So how are you going to do this love?" asked Edward.
"I'll tell Angela what her present is and let her decide whether she wants it to happen now or at a later date" replied Bella.
"Once again an excellent idea Bella" said Carlisle. Bella nodded her head in acknowledgement
"Alice, no telling us what she is going to decide" warned Bella with a small growl.
"Ok Bella" said Alice.
"Angela's on her way up the drive as we speak" said Edward. Angela pulled up in front of the Cullen's house about 30 seconds later, she walked up to the front door and before she could knock
"Come in Angela" shouted Bella from the living room.
"Damn vampire hearing" thought Angela as she walked in to the living room and sat next to Bella. Edward chuckled lightly at that thought
"So what is my present?" asked Angela.
"Your present from me is to turn you into a vampire" replied Bella.
"Really?" asked Angela.
"Yes, I felt guilty for making you wait 2 years, so I decided to make it your Christmas present, but I'm giving you a choice, I can either do it today or at a later date of your choosing" said Bella.
A/N: which should Angela choose?
