Renesmee barely paid attention to any of the several Santa gifts she had received, obviously worried about needing to finish the birdhouse before her egg hatched.
Renesmee and Edward immediately stood up and walked over to the couches to get started on the birdhouse. From where I was sitting, I could see the egg was now visibly wobbling side to side.
I helped Alice clear up all the torn up wrapping paper and throw it away into large trash bags. Esme went into the kitchen to start work on breakfast for Jacob and Renesmee.
Jacob, while waiting for food, went to go watch Edward and Renesmee build the birdhouse, handing her the assorted items she needed. Rosalie and Emmett ran off to get ready, or so they said, while Jasper and Carlisle joined the rest of them on the couches and turned on the television.
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off," was on. I vaguely remembered seeing it a while back. I just remembered the music that went with it and the infamous, "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller..." said in a monotone voice, by that guy who did the Visine commercials. It was only just starting. Maybe I'd sit down and watch it again, but for now, I had to finish cleaning up.
Alice and I hauled the bags into the garage and into the garbage cans. I went back in to wheel Renesmee's new bike out, as well. Alice went to change into Christmas-y outfit, apparently.
Seeing as how the birdhouse Edward had picked out only required fitting and hot gluing, it didn't take them long.
The glue had set and the birdhouse was put together in about twenty minutes when it would've taken me about an hour, as a human.
Jacob would hand Renesmee the various paints she requested and Edward would hand her the paintbrushes she was to use after he showed her how to use them.
A commercial for Guitar Hero came on and Emmett gasped. I hadn't even realized he had come downstairs. It was the one where those people do that dance from Risky Business. Even Edward froze while he was watching it. A sly grin spread across his face.
I looked on curiously.
"Ooh goody! Cullen men, report to Edward's room immediately!" Emmett boomed and dashed up the stairs.
"Alright! Love the way you're thinking, Em!" Edward yelled, as he took off after him.
Jasper and Carlisle slowly followed suit, clearly confused. Jasper had a grin though, obviously from the boys' giddy moods.
"Hey, do—Jacob! Help Renesmee finish painting the birdhouse. Alice just had a vision that the egg would be hatching pretty soon." Edward suddenly yelled downstairs.
Jacob just shook his head and continued helping Renesmee with the birdhouse. I took a seat next them, watching the movie, wondering what the boys could possibly be up to.
Alice walked into the room snickering. She was now wearing a bright red turtleneck dress, with hideously forest green tights on, topped off with black ankle boots. She was wearing Christmas tree earrings and was wearing fake antlers on her head. Obviously, she had been too distracted by her visions to notice what she was putting on.
"You guys'll love this. Anyway, like my outfit?" she asked, spinning to show it off.
"Uh, sure. What's with the red and green all over?" I asked, not sure if I should say anything against the outfit.
"Christmas colors are red and green, silly! You should know this by now!" she squealed excitedly before she sat on the couch beside me.
"You look like Christmas threw up on you." Rosalie said from behind us.
Obviously, she had finished getting ready. She was wearing a red pea coat, a white sweater dress with a black belt and tall, black suede boots. Even as a vampire, she still made me take a hit to my self-esteem.
"Whatever Miss Copycat. I totally called sweater dress today." Alice said, crossing her small, green legs.
Rosalie just flipped her hair over her shoulder and lounged across the couch next to ours.
"What's with the coat? You going somewhere? Not that I object...ever." Jacob said in a cocky tone.
"Aww I'm sorry, pup. I'll be staying here, where I belong. Just felt like dressing up a little. Doesn't matter to you, anyway." she bit back, not even looking at him.
Jacob huffed and just went back to the task at hand. I heard some thuds from upstairs and gave Alice a worried look.
"Don't worry. They're probably just changing. They'll be down soon. Oh and you'll need to turn on track three of the second CD when they do." she said, smiling.
I just nodded, still not quite understanding what was going on. Esme decided to join us, as Renesmee put the final touches on her completed birdhouse.
"Ladies and guy!" Emmett boomed from the top of the stairs.
You couldn't see him or any of the other Cullen men behind the giant mattress Emmett was holding in front of himself.
"Bella. Track—" Edward shouted down from some unknown location.
"Three. Got it. Alice already told me." I shouted back, pressing the correct buttons on the stereo remote I was holding.
The music of Jingle Bell Rock was now filling the room. I saw the mattress fall from Emmett's grip and onto the edge of the top stair. I could now see everyone was holding a mattress in a line and they were all in matching outfits with the same prop.
"Oh." Esme said.
"My." Rosalie added.
"God." I finished.
We all sat there completely stunned.
The Cullen men were all there in white button up shirts, Christmas-themed ties, and either red or green silk boxers. All of them were holding their own Guitar Hero guitar with their mattresses. Emmett stepped onto the mattress and tipped it down, sliding down the staircase.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring. Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun, now the jingle hop has begun." Emmett sang, swinging his plastic guitar around crazily.
Edward slid down next, singing on his way down.
"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time. Dancin' an' prancin' in Jingle Bell Square, in the frosty airrrrrrrr." he sang, throwing his head back and clicking the guitar hero strum button, up and down rapidly.
Jasper was next, but they all sang the next part before continuing their wacky routine. Jacob kept trying to cover Renesmee's eyes, while Rosalie just smiled, staring at Emmett. Esme and Alice were trying hard not to die of laughter.
"What a briiiiight time, it's the riiiiiight time, to rock. The. Night. Away." they all sang, as Jasper now descended down the stairs.
"Jingle belllll time, is a swellll time. To go a-glidin' in a one horse sleigh." Jasper sang, getting down on his knees as he slammed all the buttons on the poor defenseless guitar.
You could see the small indents he was making on the plastic frame.
Carlisle then slid down to sing his part.
"Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet. Jingle around the clockkkkkkkk." he sang, swaying back and forth, his blond hair moving around haphazardly.
It was entertaining to see the head of the house, calm, collected Carlisle, acting so crazy. Even I couldn't help laughing at the spectacle before us.
"Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet. That's the jingle bell. That's the jingle bell. That's the jingle bell rockkkkkk." they all sang the ending together, landing on their knees and making one last overdrawn strum of the plastic prop.
We started clapping for them. Even Renesmee, who had managed to see through Jacob's huge hands was giggling and clapping for their performance.
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much." Edward said, acting like Elvis Presley.
I ran over to give him a hug.
"That was beautiful, Edward. You guys were wonderful." I said, beaming up at him, still trying to control my giggles.
Renesmee ran over and hugged Edward's bare, pale leg.
"That was funny daddy." she said, looking up at him.
He smiled down at her and he picked her up. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and then we all froze. There was a strange sound coming from somewhere in the room. It was a tapping and cracking sound.
We heard it a few more times, then it was followed by a small peeping noise.
The egg was hatching!
