I woke up at six in the morning and went downstairs, to begin making breakfast, but to my surprise breakfast was already made. Edward had set the table. I went over to him and kissed him.
"I could have made breakfast."
"I wanted to let you sleep in, but I see that didn't happen."
"Thank you, but you know Charlie doesn't sleep in. By the way Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas, love."
We sat down and waited for Charlie.
"You know you said some interesting names last night, while you were sleeping."
"Great. What names did I say?"
"Rylan, Oriana, and Coraline. I think they are perfect names. Do I get to pick out the middle names?"
"Yes, I want you to."
"How about Rylan Edward, Oriana Elizabeth, Coraline Natalie Cullen?"
"I love them." I gave Edward another kiss.
"Good Morning." Charlie said.
"Good Morning, Dad." I said happily.
"Bella, your never happy in the morning."
"Can I tell him Edward?"
"Yes."
"We picked out names. Rylan Edward, Oriana Elizabeth, Coraline Natalie."
"They are different, but I like them."
We ate breakfast and Edward decided this would be the perfect time to give Charlie his truck.
"Dad, Edward and I have something for you."
"Is that so."
"Follow us."
Right before we walked into the garage, I asked Charlie to close his eyes. We walked in and turned the lights on.
"Okay dad you can open your eyes now."
Charlie's mouth hung open.
"Is that really mine?"
"Yes, this is from Edward."
"Thank you Eddie." He walked up and gave Edward a hug. Edward looked surprised at the gesture.
"You're welcome, Charlie."
The rest of the Cullen family came at exactly 11 o'clock. We sat around talking for about an hour, before we opened presents.
"Okay, who opens presents first?" Alice asked
"How about Charlie." I said
I handed Charlie his fishing pole. He laughed and said thank you, then I handed him the four-framed picture frame. He opened it and his eyes started to fill with tears.
"Are you okay dad?"
"Bells, I like this one the best. It will always remind me of you when you were small, your wedding, you and Edward, and the little ones. Thank you."
At this point I was crying, because he was crying. I have never seen him cry tears of joy. I never really saw him show any emotions other than anger. I passed out the rest of the presents from Edward and I. Carlisle opened his lamp and thanked us for it. Emmett just laughed when he saw the game, Rose shook her head at me for getting him that game. Rose opened her dress and smiled, while Emmett let out a growl. Jasper loved the Shakespeare set. Alice opened her gift and started laughing.
"That's impossible, you will always complain when I take you shopping."
"I'll try not to complain." I laughed. I looked over at Esme and seen that she was upset.
"What's wrong Esme?"
"Nothing, its just that this is perfect."
"I am glad you like it." Everyone insisted that I opened my presents. Alice and Jasper bought me baby books, one for each of them, so I could record everything that happened in their first year. Carlisle gave me a book about parenting, Esme knitted booties for the babies, and they match the colors of their rooms. Charlie bought blankets for the babies. Emmett and Rosalie gave me lingerie with a note on it.
"Read the note out loud, Bella."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes."
"Fine. 'Edward has been a very patient boy, but after the babies are born that will change. You'll keep telling him no, but he'll keep begging. When you wear this he will know that you're ready. I doubt you'll be able to wear this again, but we know it will do its purpose.'" My face was beat red. I was so embarrassed that I have to read this out loud with my father listening.
It was Edward's turn to open his presents, because we decided to wait until all the presents were opened before we opened the ones from each other. Rose and Emmett got him a box of condoms with a not attached to the box 'These come in handy.' Alice and Jasper bought him a shirt that said 'Father of Triplets' on the front, and on the back it said 'HELP.' Edward just laughed. Carlisle and Esme bought shirts for the girls that said 'Daddy's girl' and a shirt for Rylan that said 'Nothing like a father and son bond.' He said thank you to everyone.
"Okay Bella open your gift."
I did as I was told. Edward had written out the music to my lullaby and framed it. There was a CD that had 'kid's lullaby'. I smiled at him. Then I saw a piece of folded paper.
"Go ahead and read it out loud."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
" 'My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy; I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer's day. It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you. Each facet of your being whether is it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release. But I do not wish to release. I wish to stay entrapped forever. With you for all eternity. Our hearts, always as one.'" I could barely finish reading it, because I couldn't see it with all the tears in my eyes.
"I love you, Isabella."
"I love you, too, Edward. Now it is time for you to open your gift from me."
"As you wish." He opened his gift and seen the picture frame, I could tell he liked it. He opened the poem "Do you want me to read it out loud?"
"Yes."
" 'I love the way you look at me, your eyes so mysterious. I love the way you kiss me, your lips so cool and smooth. I love the way you make me happy, and the way you show you care. I love the way you say 'I love you', and the way you're always there. I love the way you touch me, always sending chills down my spine. I love that you are with me, and glad that you are mine.'"
"Its not as good as yours."
"That doesn't matter, love. I love it."
He walked over to me and kissed me passionately. The night was filled with laughter and conversation. The Cullen's decided to leave. Charlie informed me that he had to go back to work tomorrow and would be going home tonight. So Edward helped him gather his belongings and put them in the cruiser. I followed Charlie in his truck and Edward followed me in the Volvo. When we got to Charlie's house, he thanked me for everything and said good night. Edward drove us home and I was so tired that I fell asleep on the way home. Edward carried me into the house, upstairs and placed me on the bed and tucked me in.
"Goodnight, Love."
