Chapter 14
EPOV
Dinner flowed through smoothly and it went right into present opening time, which made the boys very excited. My parents sat on the couch, my father's arm wrapped around my mom. Bella and I sat on the floor, in front of the fire place. The boys just starting digging through the presents. They pulled out a few for themselves and started unwrapping them. I got up, and decided to hand everyone out their gifts. I handed about three to my mom, two to my dad, about four to Bella and I had a pile of four also.
"Woah, woah, woah, boys! Don't open any other presents. We are going to go one at a time." Esme scolded them, as the dropped the present that was in their hands. "Okay, Bella why don't you start." She smiled at Bella.
Bella, being modest, opened the smallest gift that was laying on top. She unwrapped it, and pulled out a skinny necklace, that had a simple, what looked like diamond heart on it. She gasped, and looked up at my parents.
"I love it. Thank you so much." She got up from her spot and gave each of them a hug.
"You are very welcome." They said back.
"Can you put it on?" She asked me, and pushed her hair from her neck. I took the necklace and hooked it around her neck.
"Edward your turn." We went through the round. I got a leather jacket from my parents, because I've been whining about one forever. Then it went back to Bella.
She opened the next smallest gift, which was one of mine. I knew it was the most expensive from me, and I knew she was going to have a cow, but I didn't care. She deserved it. She slowly pulled back the edges of the paper, and pulled out a little box. She opened it, and there was a set of keys. She looked up at me quizzically. I stood up, and held out my hand for her to follow. She took my hand, and got up. We walked over to the garage, and I opened the door.
"Click unlock." I told her. She obeyed and the car in the corner's lights went off. She gasped. The cars lights that went off was a 2011 Ford Explorer.
"Edward, you didn't." She put a hand over her mouth, and slowly walked over to the car. "Oh, my, gosh." She said slowly, and ran her hand lightly over the shiny white door. She opened the door with tears running down her face. She got in, and closed the door. I got in on the passenger side.
"So, do you like it?" I asked, shutting off the silence.
"I love it. But..." She started.
"But what? You don't like the car? I can always exchange it."
"No, no. That's not it. I love the car. It's just I don't like you spending so much money on me." She explained. She looked down at her tangled hands sitting in her lap.
I put a finger under her chin, and lifted her face up to look at me. "You deserve it." I said, simply, staring deep into her eyes.
"No, I really don't Edward." She whispered.
"Yes, you do." I fought with her. I gently brushed my lips to hers. Just then, the boys came running out of the garage door, and ran up to the car.
"THIS is what you got for Christmas?" Alec asked excitedly, and ran to get in the backseat, along with Garret.
"Buckle up. We're going for a test drive." Bella smiled at them.
We finished out test drive and went back inside to get give the rest of the presents. It was Bella's turn again, and she picked up the next biggest one, which was from me again.
"No way. You didn't." She pulled out a Coach purse, with black leather handles and those little C's all over it. She stood up, and put it on her arm, and twirled around. She sat back down and kissed all over my face.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." She smiled at me, and finally kissed me on the lips. I grinned back at her. "Your turn."
I took the next gift and unwrapped it. It was just a box, so opened that and there it was. The thing I've been wanted for years. A brand new Mac laptop.
I looked up at Bella, and she wore a huge grin.
"Oh my gosh. I love it." I smiled at her, and gave her a huge hug.
"You said you wanted one." She smiled and shrugged.
We opened all the presents and my father got a new watch, from Bella, and a new briefcase from me. My mom got, a new jacket, designer in fact, from me, a matching set of earrings and necklace from Bella, and Garrett got her a hand crafted card. Garrett and Alec got a ton of new Spiderman and superhero toys. Bella got the car, the necklace, the purse, and the jacket. And I got the leather jacket, the laptop, and two cards from Garrett and Alec.
"I think I had a good Christmas this year." Alec said, and snuggled into Bella's side, as she was leaned up against the couch with her arm around him.
"I think I did too." Bella whispered to him, smiling up at me. "But, sadly, it has to come to an end. If you want Santa Claus to come, you boys have to get to bed." She stood up from her spot, and helped Alec up with her. I grabbed Garrett who was about to fall asleep on the chair, and we all headed up stairs to Garrett's room. We decided that Bella and Alec were just going to spend the night and Christmas with us.
We eventually got both the boys to bed after reading them, "Twas the Night Before Christmas", at least 3 times. We snuck back downstairs and sat on the couch in front of the fireplace. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders as she cuddle into me.
"This is the best Christmas ever." She whispered. She looked up at me, with a small smile on her lips.
"Did you get everything you wanted this year?" I asked.
"Everything and more. For instance the car." I chuckled a little bit. I knew she didn't want me to spend so much money on her, but I couldn't help myself. She's a wonderful woman and deserved everything. "Did YOU get everything you wanted?"
"Almost."
"Well, there's always tomorrow." She sighed and snuggled back into my chest.
"The boys looked like they had a lot of fun tonight." I smiled, just thinking about the smiles on their faces as they opened each present.
"They'll have even more fun tomorrow, when they open even more presents." The fire was very warm and toasty, and made me just want to fall asleep right here. "Speaking of which, we have to go put the presents out under the tree." She sat up, and held out her hand, to help me up. I got up and we walked over to the hall closet where I was hiding all of them.
We put all of them out, and quickly slipped a small present on top of a huge one.
"I wonder who this is for. I don't remember getting this." I pretended picking it up and examining it. "It's for you."
"Well, I can't unwrap it until midnight." She smiled, and took the little present from me. "I wonder what it is." She shook it and held it against her ear. No sound came out of the box.
We sat back down on the couch, and snuggled while watching the fire burn. At midnight, the clock dinged from the hallway.
"Merry Christmas." I smiled at Bella, and gave her a big kiss on the lips. We pulled apart as soon as the last ding came from the clock.
"I love you." She giggled at me, and took the little box that was waiting patiently in her lap. She got all the paper off, and opened the little box that was inside. She gasped.
I slowly took the box from her hands and smiled.
"Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment of forever. I know we haven't know each other for long, but it seems like I've known you for a lifetime. You and Alec would be an extraordinary part of our family. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?"
REVIEW! Tell me about your plans with the BREAKING DAWN PREMIERE! I'm so excited. Getting out of school to go to the midnight premiere.
