TPOV:
After the whole Caleb throwing blocks without actually throwing them incident, which Carlisle
explained that apparently Caleb is telepathic or something odd like that, and can move objects with his
mind. Which, I responded with, "Yay I have magic babies! You're jealous! Admit it!" and did a little happy
victory dance type thing. I ended up falling over and landing in Carlisle's arms. "Hee, Hi!" I said.
"Did you let her near an energy drink?" Carlisle asked Jasper. Sophie nodded. and I grinned up
at Carlisle.
"So Carly, are we going to do a super awesome vampire Christmas Decorating thing? Oh and is
it okay that I invited my dad over for Christmas?" I asked.
"One, don't call me Carly. Two, yes, we are going to do a 'super awesome vampire Christmas
Decorating thing'. Three, I'm perfectly okay with it, but I'm not too sure if everyone else is. Then again, we're
already having Bella's father over so I'm sure one more person wouldn't hurt." I looked over at Kai, and
saw that she actually was trying to do something with the letter blocks we gave her. She put a D, then an I,
then an S, then an N, followed by an E, and then a Y. She spelled Disney.
"Carly. Look at what your future granddaughter did." I said pointing over at her. She was all
smiles and giggles.
"Don't call me Carly!" he said and turned around. "You got some smart babies." Carlisle
muttered.
"I think it's because Edward's always playing classical music, it might be making them smarter
than the average baby." I said with a grin.
Kai pointed at her word, looking annoyed. "Tali, she wants you to put in her Disney CD."
Edward said from upstairs. Edward and Bella were staying at the Cullen house instead of in their cottage
for the holidays.
"Oh!" I said and grabbed it from the CD case then popped it into the DVD player. I pressed play
and then walked back over to continue discussing my babies' smartness with Carlisle. I Got no Strings from
Pinocchio started playing.
"Well, lets see, Caleb can make things move with his mind, and Kai is a smart girl, but I wonder if
she can do anything special too." Carlisle mused.
"Well we'll find out when we find out Carlisle." I said with a laugh. I walked over and picked my
cute kids up.
KPOV:
I was happy in my momma's arms, but I wanted down so I could play with Caleb. 'Mommy put
me down.' I thought at her. She put me down. 'daddy, can you sing me the song that's playing?' I thought
at my daddy. Then he started singing along. I smiled and giggled.
TPOV:
Jasper was randomly singing along with What's This? from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and
Kai started smiling and giggling. "Guys, I think that Kai's special too." Edward said coming downstairs,
Bella followed behind him carrying Renesmee. "I think she has some kind of mind control type effect.
Because she was just thinking "daddy can you sing me the song that's playing." and then Jasper started
singing...which dude, you should really stop, you can't sing along with a girl singing. Kai, make him stop."
Edward said looking over at Kai. She frowned, but Jasper stopped singing. "Yeah, she has some kind of
mind control type thing. If she thinks it at someone, then they do it. In fact, when you picked her up Tali,
she asked you to put her down in her thoughts, and from what I can see you did it." He continued on.
Sophie and I sat there quietly, playing with Kai and Caleb, while the Cullen's decorated the
house. Two more days until Christmas, meaning that I need to go buy some presents for everyone." I said,
and went out the door to go shopping.
JPOV:
"Sophie, I have something I need to tell you." I said pulling Sophie aside.
"What is it Jazz? I need to go find a present for my oh so cute boyfriend Chace." She said and
tried to walk away. I grabbed her and pulled her back.
"I'm going to propose to Taliana for Christmas, and I wanted you to help me pick out a ring." I
said looking down at my feet.
"REALLY?" Sophie shouted. "Heh, screw Chace, I'm helping you pick a ring. You're going to
need all the help you can get." She said and dragged me out the door. We went to the jewelary store in the
mall and I started looking at the more traditional wedding bands. "JASPER! No! Bad! You do not use
traditional wedding bands with Taliana!" Sophie shouted at me and yanked me over to some of the other
rings. "Oh and I have a few good ideas on how to go about proposing." She said with an evil smirk.
"What?" I asked, looking down at the rings, the one that I liked had a rather small heart shaped
topaz set in a white gold band.
"Now for my first suggestion, put the ring in a box, then put that box in another box, and then
that box in another box, and then THAT box in another box, and repeat the process until you get a gigantic
box in front of her, and then tape the box with clear tape so it's impossible to open!"
"No. I'm not doing that Though I do have an idea myself. It involves a gigantic box, only instead
of a bunch of boxes inside of it, it will be me. Kneeling down, with the ring, how's that?" I asked.
"No, no, no Jasper." she tsked me. "I got a better idea! You put it as the halo on a homemade
Angel ornament, she loves angels, and then leave her hints in her stocking and a few of her presents as to
where to find her real present and when she gets to the tree to search for her angel, when she gets close,
get down on one knee in front of her. When she finds the ring she'll turn around and look at you and BAM
that's when you propose!" She said hopping up and down, "it's like a scavenger hunt! She told me that she
loves to do those. Oh and nice ring choice by the way, If you didn't pick that ring I would have smacked
you and picked that ring for you." Sophie said with a grin. "Excuse me good sir, how much is this ring right
here?" She asked pointing at the one that I had picked out.
I wandered off to go look at something to get for Kai and Caleb. I found a rose gold charm
bracelet for Kai, and I was planning on getting her a new charm every Christmas. I decided to go shopping
for Esme too since I was here, and I found an amazing family tree ring. I told them to put 9 gemstones in
for our family, and then I found an alexandrite pendant for Caleb. After finding that pendant I searched
around for a new pocket watch for Carlisle, I figured it was about time he got a new one. At one point
Taliana was walking past the jewelry store and I had to duck in cover to hide from her. The cashier was
staring at me with an expression that said 'what the hell man?' and then I yanked her down and told her,
"My future fiancée just walked by, I want the proposal to be a surprise, if she caught me in a jewelry store
then she'd jump to conclusions." and then she nodded and smiled at me. "Is she gone?" I asked Sophie
when she saw me hiding behind the counter.
"Yeah, but that ring you picked out is like one hundred and fifty-two dollars." She sighed.
"I got enough to cover it." I said with a grin as she helped me up. "Besides, this is just the
engagement ring, wait until we go to get the wedding bands. Oh and you're not helping us with that one,
I'm letting Tali pick her wedding band." I said laughing.
I paid for the engagement ring, the family tree ring, Kai's bracelet, Carlisle's watch and Caleb's
pendant and in the end spent about twenty-two hundred dollars from my family's cash stash. "Now then,
lets go find something for you to get Chace, and I need to find something for Edward and Emmett." I said
with a smile.
I got Emmett a gift certificate from Build-A-Bear workshop so he could go make his own little
grizzly buddy, and I got Edward a book from Spencer's, about different sexual positions and role playings
that I feel he and Bella should try out. And then Sophie bought her boyfriend a pumpkin, where she found
a pumpkin in December, I have no idea, but she got him a pumpkin.
We returned to the house, and I saw Tali looking at me funny when I hid one of the smaller bags
behind my back. "I'm going to go work on Tali's present. So Don't come up there." I said. I found some of
Alice's old blue clothes and got to work on making an Angel's dress. I then snuck over to Edward's room.
"Hey Edward, you know those necklaces and rings and other shiny do-dads you got, well do
you mind if I have some of them? They're for Tali's present."
"Sure thing." Edward said and threw his small jewelry box at me. "Take whatever you want,
whatever you don't use bring back though." I went back in my room, I grabbed some of the leftover
materials from when Alice and I made little people for some stupid project for school, and made the angel's
body. I dug through Edward's collection of shiny jewelry, which was mostly genuine jewels, and tried to
find all of the blue topaz, citrine, and aquamarine gemstones I could find. I spent a few minutes sewing
them onto the dress, except for two of the blue topaz ones. I put the dress on the angel and then tried to
cut the two blue topazes I had left off the dress, to make them smaller. I succeeded and put them on the
angel as the eyes, and painted some white around them and a black dot in the middle of them to make them
look more like eyes instead of just two blue irises. Then I painted on a mouth, and went to go find
something I could use for the hair. I found one of Renesmee's old Barbie dolls, that had close to the same
shade of hair as Tali.
I went back into Edward's room, jewelry box in hand, and then opened the door. "Hey Edward,
Bella. Do you think that Renesmee will mind if I cut some of the hair off of one of her Barbie dolls?" I asked,
tossing the jewelry box back at Edward.
"No, I don't think so, why?" Bella asked confused.
"Because he's making Tali an angel ornament for Christmas, and wants it to look like her, He
found one of Renesmee's old Barbie dolls that has the same hair color and he figured he'd ask before
actually doing it. Oh by the way Jasper, kudos on the creativeness of proposing." Edward said.
"Proposing? Jasper! You're P--" Edward and I both put our hands over Bella's mouth.
"BELLA! shut up!" I said. "I want it to be a Christmas present, if Tali hears you yelling it out it
wont be a surprise anymore!" I said laughing. "Do you guys want to come see it?" I asked with a smile.
"Well I already saw it in your head," Edward said laughing. Bella got up and followed me to my
room. "Wow Jasper, that's beautiful, but how are you going to propose with an angel?" She asked getting
confused.
"Well I didn't get a chance to put the Halo on yet." I said and chopped the hair off of
Renesmee's Barbie doll and glued it in place on the angel, and then found a twisty-tie and spray-painted it
silver and wrapped one end around the head, and then wrapped it around the ring. "See, the halo is going
to be the engagement ring, and I'm making her go on a scavenger hunt to find it." I said with a grin.
"Ah! Great idea Jasper!" my younger sister said and gave me a hug.
I wrote out the notes and then ran downstairs to hide both the notes, and the angel. I put the
first note in her stocking, and then where that one sent her, I put the next note, and where the next note
sent her I put the third note, and etc. I figured, so the angel would not be as noticeable to her, I'd put it
higher up in the fifteen-foot tall Christmas tree.
I told Tali that she could come up to my room now and sleep if she wanted to. So she went to
bed, and I watched her sleep, and the next day we spent the morning together, watching cheesy Christmas
specials and then at around one we decided it was time to start making dinner. Sophie and her boyfriend
Chace were over helping us cook. By the time we were finished cooking, Jake, Charlie, and Tali's dad John
were over for dinner and gift exchanging. My family pretended to eat, while Charlie, John, Tali, Sophie,
Jake and Chace all ate. I fed Caleb and Kai. "Hey John can I have a word with you?" I asked Tali's father.
"Sure thing kid, what do you want?" He asked as we walked out to the back porch.
"Well, I wanted to ask your permission to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage." I said
looking down at the ground.
"Well, I should have expected this. Do you promise to keep her safe? To make sure that no one
ever hurts her, and do you promise to take care of her? Do you have enough money to support her and the
kids?" He started rambling off questions.
"Yes, yes, yes, and yes." I said with a smile.
"Well then I suppose you can take my daughter's hand in marriage." He said with a small smile.
"Good, because I already got the ring, and I'm planning on proposing tonight." I said with a
smile.
"Wow, you waste no time kid. I like your attitude. You're a lot better than that Seth boy she was
with for the longest time." He said, and we went to the living room.
Everyone was in the living room. "Tali should open the first present." Edward suggested trying
to hide a laugh.
"Okay." Tali said and crawled over to the tree.
"Love, maybe you should go to your stocking first." I said with a smile, and pushed her towards
her stocking. She turned it upside down and frowned when nothing came out. She reached in and found a
piece of paper.
"A piece of paper! Thank you SOOO much." She said sarcastically.
"Read it love." I said with a smile.
"Your present is hidden somewhere in this room, this is going to be a miniature scavenger hunt.
Your first hint is, It's near Edward's Piano, Your loving boyfriend, Jasper." She read, and I saw John glance
over at me and I smiled. She ran over to Edward's piano and searched high and low for the present, and
finally found the piece of paper wedged between the lid of the piano and the piano itself. She read this
one, "It's hidden on something green." She ran over to Sophie. "Is it in your eyeball Sophie?" She asked
with a laugh.
"Um no." Sophie said with a smile and shoved her away. She then ran over to he coffee table,
which had a green tablecloth on it.
"Tali, you're up at the north pole over there. Go the other way." I said with a laugh. She turned
around, and scanned the room for something green.
"Is it in the tree?" She asked.
"Go find out for yourself." I said with a grin.
She looked on the bottom branches of the tree, and ran around in a circle to look at every single
bottom branch. "Jasper if you put that darn present up higher I'm going to kill you."
"I did." I said with a grin.
She started climbing up the tree, and I couldn't help but laugh. She finally reached the top, and
saw her Angel, she grabbed it and then somehow managed to fall off of the tree. I ran over and caught her.
"Is this it?" She asked. She didn't notice the note.
"Is there a note on it? If so, then yes, that's your present." I said and put her down on the
ground. She scanned the Angel for a note, and found it.
"Look at the Halo, and then Look over at your amazing man." I got down on one knee, and she
looked at the Halo, noticed that it was a ring, and removed it, and then turned to look at me.
I took her left hand, "Taliana Mary Beth Graft, as you know I lost my first soul mate, but you're
just as loving, caring, amazing and hyper as my first love. Sometimes I feel as though you and her were
twins that got separated at birth. I love you, you're my heart, my soul, my everything. I don't want to lose
you, and I promise, I will help you raise your beautiful children as if they were my own, will you be my
beautiful bride?" I asked, and kissed her hand, taking the ring from her other hand. Tears were streaming
down her face, and she was smiling.
"YES JASPER! YES!!" She said and tackled me before I got a chance to even put the ring on.
She kissed me and I finally got a chance to put the ring on. "Oh my God! I'm engaged!" She said hopping
up and down with excitement.
Everyone congratulated us, and then we continued opening presents. I decided to hide one
present for Tali so I could give it to her on Christmas as opposed to Christmas Eve.
