1 Day To Christmas

Tomorrow was the big day, and everyone was getting their last minute shopping out of the way. I drove to Port Angeles by myself, just to make sure there wasn't something I'd missed that I could buy for Carlisle. But after looking around the big department store, and in the little shops around, I came to the conclusion that there just wasn't anything I could get him. There was nothing that would thank him enough for everything he'd done for me and the rest of the Cullens.

I felt bad. Really bad. If I was human, I would have had tears in my eyes as I drove back home to Forks. I'd gotten everyone else a gift, but nothing for Carlisle. I knew that he wouldn't mind, but it just seemed like a rotten thing for me to do.

As soon as I got back to the cottage, I saw Edward standing in the doorway with a smile on his face. As soon as he saw my expression, he frowned. I ran to him and jumped into his arms.

"What's wrong?" he asked, carrying me inside the cottage. "Did something happen?"

"No." I sighed, burying my face in his shoulder. "I just couldn't find anything for Carlisle. I feel so bad, Edward."

To my surprise, he laughed lightly, laying me down on the couch. He put my feet in his lap, pulling off my socks.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked, scrunching up my eyebrows.

"Carlisle doesn't need anything, Bella. He has a wonderful family, and that's all he wants." he reassured me, massaging the soles of my feet.

"You got him something." I pointed out, frowning.

"Because I thought it would be nice." he replied. "He doesn't need anything."

"Does anyone?" I sighed. "I don't need anything else. I'm sure you don't. But everyone's going to give us something. That's what you do on Christmas day."

He pulled me forward so I was on his lap. He kissed my neck, breathing in my scent.

"It's no big deal, love. Really." he murmured. "Believe me."

I sighed, leaning backwards so he could cradle me in his arms. "Okay."

He smiled and pressed his lips to mine. "I love you." he whispered against them.

"I love you too." I giggled, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him down on top of me.

"Ew, get a room!" Renesmee's ringing voice pierced the silence.

We pulled away, laughing.

"We had one until you came in." Edward grinned. "Time for payback!"

He was off the couch in a second, and Renesmee was running, laughing and screaming as he chased her.

"I'm gonna get you!" he called to her, smiling wickedly.

"No you won't!" she replied, running out the front door.

He followed, and I sat on the couch for a few seconds. There was nothing I could do about Carlisle; there was no use moping about it. I got off the couch and ran out the door after them.

I heard Renesmee's laughter in the woods to the east. I ran, arriving in the brush in 3 minutes. Edward had tackled Renesmee to the ground, but she'd been faster. She was sitting on his stomach, grinning as she held down his arms.

"Got ya, Daddy!" she said happily.

"You did." he sighed, leaning his head back and taking a deep breath. "You're fast."

"Faster than you." she told him.

"Looks like it." he laughed.

She let go of his arms and he immediately picked her up and swung her onto his back. They both noticed me.

"Momma!" Renesmee exclaimed. "I caught Daddy!"

"Good for you!" I said with a smile.

Edward winked at me, looking so handsome as he shook the snow out of his hair.

"You look like Jacob when you do that." Renesmee informed him.

"Fantastic." he said sarcastically, and Renesmee playfully smacked his arm.

We spent the afternoon chasing each other and having races. Edward and I let Renesmee win a few times, and she was happier than ever.

We headed to the Cullens house to drop of our presents. Emmett looked a bit confused when I handed him a red envelope. I winked.

Renesmee, Alice, and Rosalie were playing dress-up upstairs, as Edward and I helped Esme cook the food for Christmas dinner at the church. I suppose that to a human, all of the food looked appetizing. To me, it looked and smelled gross.

Emmett licked all of the blood from the package the turkey had come in. Even though we all drank blood, it was kind of disgusting to watch.

Edward, Renesmee, and I headed home around 9:00. Renesmee was already fast asleep in Edward's arms as we carried her home. We laid her in bed and tucked her in. Edward kissed her forehead lightly, and I did too.

"Goodnight, my beautiful baby girl." Edward whispered as we shut the door to her room.

We tiptoed into the living room, smiling as we thought about what surprises tomorrow would bring.
