EPOV-

"Ok this one is for Bella," my dad says as he hands Bella yet another present. Her eyes light up again as she tears through the paper to find a set of silk blue pajamas that have to be from my sister.

"Do you like them?" Alice asked, bouncing in her seat. "I have a pair in pink! They are the most comfortable thing you will ever sleep in."

"I love them. Thanks Alice," Bella says as she hugs her slightly then places the PJ's in her growing pile. So far she has gotten a kindle from her father, An Iphone with all the trimmings from my parents, her pajama's ofcourse, and some workout clothes from Emmett. Go Figure.

After we exchange all the presents that arent from Santa. Yes, our parents still leave out gifts on Christmas from Santa even thought we are 18, 17, and 16 respectively. I guess we should really start getting back into the spirit now that Katherine is here. Cookies and hot cocoa are giving out and we all sit around the fire just enjoying eachothers company until Katherine gets tired and we decide to get her ready for bed.

"I thought maybe we could give eachother our gifts in private," I tell Bella as she lifts the baby out of her little bathtub and wraps her in a towel.

"I was thinking the same thing," she whispers and walks back into her room. We get Kate ready for bed in silence and thankfully todays events have seem to tuckered the three week old out because she falls straight to sleep.

"So I have two presents for you," Bella says as she scoots the middle of bed and grabs a wrapped square from her night stand. I crawl and sit facing her holding a present of my own.

"You go first," I tell her. She bites her lip and hands me the box with a shy smile.

I rip through the paper to find a CD. I have to laugh at how sneaky she is because when we were shopping last week I was about to buy it but she suddenly got really sick and we had to leave immidiatley. Now I know why she felt better as soon as we left.

"Whats so funny?" she questions.

"You are a little sneak, you know that!" I say while tickling her.

"Oh darn! You caught me!" she says while laughing and squirming away from me. All of a sudden we are laying down facing each other.

"Whats the other gift?" I ask.

"You first!" she exclaims and I think I see a bit of blush but I dont push the matter. Instead I hand her the box I was hiding till now.

"I hope you like it," I whisper.

She looks at me with those big brown eyes and begins to slowly tear away the paper. Her hands start shaking when she realizes that its a jewlery box and I can see the tears welling up in her eyes. When she looks up at me I nod egging her to open it and when she does her reaction doesnt dissipoint me.

"Oh Edward! Its beautiful!" she exclaims softly as to not wake up the baby. I smile and take the box from her lifting the locket out and holding it before her.

"Open it," I urge.

I see her bit her lip as she tries to pop it open and when she succeeds the water works start again. I cant help but chuckle when she throws herself into my lap.

"Edward, this is by far the best present of them all," she says as I hook the necklace around her neck. Its still open and we gaze inside of it together where there is a picture of Bella, Katherine, and I.

"Im glad you like it. I was worried it would be too much," I say while quietly laughing.

"It is too much! But I love it."

"Now that you have yours..." I trail off.

"I guess you can have your other present..." she says while looking at me. She looks a little nervous as she leans in towards me and I realize what my other present is.

Its like we are moving in slow motion and I dont know if I should stop her or... Hell who am I kidding!? Why would I stop her I have wanted this for three weeks now! I never pushed though, waiting for her to come to me when she was ready. Could that really be now? My inner monologue is suddenly holted when her soft lips meet mine. Just for what seems like a second our lips movie together before I pull away, not wanting to push to far. She back away and smiles at me.

"Thank you Bella," I whisper and rest my forehead against her.

"For...?"

"Giving me the best Christmas present ever," I whisper.

"Really? The best?" she questions.

"The very best... Merry Christmas Bella"

"Merry Christmas. Oh and Edward?" she whispers as we lay down next to eachother.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for giving not only the best present but the best Christmas EVER."

"Anytime Bella"

We snuggle on her bed until she falls asleep. I stay for a bit watching her sleep. How this beautiful girl came into my life is a complete mystery to me but I will be forever grateful that she did. Katherine and Bella are definately the best thing that could have ever turned up in my backyard and I will spend the rest of my life making sure they never want for anything... especially love.

THE END!

Please forgive me for ending this story prematurely and thanks for even sticking with it!
