Disclaimer: As usual I own nothing.

It's Christmas Eve day and we were putting up the Christmas tree. There wasn't much I could do until it came to the middle part of the tree. No one would let me reach above my head to do anything so I sat there listening to the music and chatting with everyone else. Tomorrow we were going to have a nice dinner that Esme was prepping right now so there wouldn't be as much for tomorrow. I offered to help but she refused and said that it was one of the jobs she looked forward to every year.

Decorating took almost all day and we had a blast. We danced around and sang to the carols that were playing and by the time we were done everything looked great. Carlisle would defiantly be surprised when he got home. At supper time no one was really all that hungry because we had been snacking all day, so we just made sandwiches and sat in front of the tv.

Around eight I went up to our room to get the last of my gifts wrapped. Edward asked if I wanted him to come but I told him no. He looked a little hurt so I told him that I was going to be wrapping his. It wasn't a lie I was going to be doing his but there were some others that I had to do as well.

I made sure to wrap Edward's gift first so if he did happen to come up he wouldn't see it. I had bought him a lion teddy bear just because I thought that it was cute and he kind of reminded me of one sometimes. I as got him a new watch because his old one was falling apart and I had a picture of the two if us redone and put into a nice frame. I was really worried that he wouldn't like the gifts I got him.

I didn't realize how late it was and how long I had been wrapping presents until Edward came up. "Hey hun how is the wrapping coming?"

"Good I just finished it all. I didn't know how late it had gotten. I'm sorry that I kept you out of here for so long."

"That's ok I was happy watching Emmett and Jasper playing video games. In all honesty I didn't realize how lat it had got either. Are you ready to go to bed?"

"Not really but I know that I should because I am sure that Alice will have us up at the crack of dawn."

"That's true. Come on lets go to bed."

"Ok I will be right there. I just have to run to the washroom then I will be in."

When I came back into the bedroom Edward was already in the bed and had the covers pulled back waiting for me. I climbed in gave him a kiss and said good night. Almost right way I was falling asleep and I could hear Edward's breath slowing as he fell into a deep sleep.

It was not long after we went to bed that Alice came bouncing into the room yelling at us to get up, that it was time to open presents. I grumbled something something and rolled over trying to get back to sleep. Alice would not allow this and ripped off the blankets so that i had to get up.

"Bella you have to get up now or else we can't open presents. Please, please,please get up I can not stand to wait any longer."

With her bagging like that I couldn't say no. "Ok Alice I will be down there in a few minutes just let me wake up some and brush my teeth please."

"Sure just try and hurry."

With that she left the room for me to get up. I noticed that Edward was still asleep and not even phased by his sister coming in the room shouting. I knew that I had to get him up or Alice would be back. "Edward baby you need to get up". When he didn't get up I started to kiss all over his face hoping that that would wake him.

Just as i thought the kisses had worked. His beautiful eyes opened and looked right at me then he smiled. "Merry Christmas Bella" he said.

"Merry Christmas to you to Edward. You need to get out of bed now or else Alice is going to come up here and drag you out. She can not wait to open the presents. It is like she is a little kid still."

"Ya it is. I'm going to head downstairs, did you want me to bring down the presents?"

"Umm yes please. If you can't carry all of them then leave some for me to take down."

With that he got up and grabbed all of the gifts and started down the stairs. I went to the bathroom to clean up a little before going down. I was just coming out of the bathroom when i heard Alice come running up the stairs. I could only assume that it was because I was taking to long.

"Bella come on every one is down there waiting for you."

"I'm coming I just finished up."

I heard her turn around and go back to the living room. I followed right behind I was greeted by everyone when I entered the living room. I wished them all a Merry Christmas and sat down by Edward.

Every year some one got to play Santa and had out all of the gifts. This year Emmett was going to do it. The first gift that he gave out was to Rose and it was a new pair of shoes from Alice and Jasper. The he gave Carlisle and Esme their gift from him and Rosalie, it was plane tickets to where ever they wanted to go to. He then gave Alice and Jasper the gift that we had got for them it was some war books for Jasper and money for Alice to go shopping with. We couldn't think of what to get her and figured she would be better off getting something for herself.

The present kept getting handed out in random orders. The first one that I got was from Edward, it was a new necklace that was a hart shape and was outlined with diamonds. It was so beautiful i was almost ready to cry. I was really worried about what he was going to think about the crappy gift that i got him.

He opened his gift and instantly had a big smile on his face. I wasn't sure if he had even noticed the watch that I put on the lion. I was guessing that he really liked it, but i was not really sure why he did, at least not as much as he seemed to.

"So I guess that you like the lion?" I said.

"Yes I think that it is cute. And I like how you put the watch on the wrist."

"I'm glad that you like it and I am happy that you noticed the watch I wasn't sure if you would."

All of the rest of the gifts were opened and everyone got things that they wanted. For most of the morning we sat around and did nothing. I am pretty sure that Edward and I had fell asleep sitting up, that was until the was a loud bang and yelling coming from Esme. Emmett had knocked something over and almost broke it by the sounds of things. I didn't even bother to get up because everyone else went running. I knew that someone would fill me in when they all came back.

Sure enough when they came back they told me that he was trying to sneak a piece of pie in the process he knocked over a whole pile of dishes. He was lucky that only two of them broke because I am sure Esme would have killed him other wise. Everyone was told to stay out of the kitchen for the rest of the day. This meant that the house was pretty quiet.

I enjoyed spending time with everyone before they were all going to have to go back to work and school. The best part of the day was the meal that Esme had made. I do not think that I have ever tasted anything quite like it. After we were all done eating and all the dishes were cleared every one just sat around because we were all so full.

I figured that I really should say thank you to Esme for all of her hard work. So i went into the kitchen where she was loading the dishwasher. "Esme I just wanted to let you know that supper was really good, and I am just thankful for everything that you have done for me."

"Oh Bella sweet heart I am so glad that you enjoyed supper, and as for everything else Carlisle and I are so happy to help you with everything. We will always be there to help Edward and you."

I hugged her and then went to find where Edward was. I looked all over the house for him but he was no where to be found. I was just getting ready to head up to the bedroom when I heard the piano playing. I found that really strange because when I went in there he wasn't there. Sure enough when I walked in he was sitting at the piano playing it.

I sat down on the stool and waited for him to finish the song he was playing. "Is that something new that you wrote?"

"Yes. Did you like it?"

"Ya what inspired it? It is so soft and calming."

"In all honesty it is a lullaby for the baby. I really hope that it will suite it."

"I am sure that it will. I was going up to bed and wanted to say good night."

"Oh well I can come with you, I am feeling pretty tired too."

"Ok". He closed up his piano and we head up to bed together. As soon as I crawled in I was asleep.

The next morning I woke up alone. When I looked at the clock it was almost one in the afternoon. I rolled out of bed and smelled food. I followed the smell and it lead me to Edward. He had a big plate full of bacon and eggs. I crept up behind him and stole a couple of piece's. I just finished putting the last piece of bacon in my mouth. He smiled and shook his head at me. "Did you want all of it I can make some more, it's not a big deal."

I thought about it for a minute then shook my head no. "It's ok I just wanted a few pieces."

With that he took his plate over to the table and sat down. I grabbed myself a bowl of cereal and sat down with him. We talked about what we were going to do today. He said that he was going to hang out with the boys. He wasn't sure what they were going to do. I told him I wasn't sure what I was going to do but for him to have fun.

When I got out of the shower Edward was already gone. The girls wanted me to go to the boxing day sales with them but I didn't really want to go to a crowded place to look at stuff that I wasn't going to buy. Instead I was going to stay home and work on ideas for the baby's room. I had the whole house to myself and it felt great.

In the end I couldn't do a whole lot because I didn't know the sex of the baby, so it would have to wait until the appointment, that was less then a week away. The only productive thing that I had got was deciding where I was going to put things. After I finished everything that I could do I went downstairs and turned on some music and started to cook. It had been so long since I did it, that it felt nice just to be able to bake. I made some cookies and a cake and some cinnamon rolls. I knew that even if everyone else didn't like the things that i baked Emmett would.

I had just finished getting everything cleaned up when the boys came home. It didn't take them long to make there way to the kitchen. Emmett and Jasper made a beeline to the food while Edward came to see me. He pulled me into a hug and gave me a kiss. Then he went to get something before the other two ate all of it. Once they all had their fill they thanked me and went into the living room to play video games.

Not long after that Esme and Carlisle came home they each had a cinnamon roll. I asked Esme if she wanted me to help her with supper but she told me that it was ok and that we really weren't going to have anything big. I went into the living room with the boys and watched them play Halo for a while. When they asked me if I wanted to play I was going to say no, but then i decided that it couldn't hurt. To everyone's surprise I was pretty good at the game, even though I had no idea what I was doing.

When the girls came home I went with them to Rose's bedroom to see what they had bought. They had managed to get stuff for everyone. They had brought me home some new clothes because I was going to need some new ones soon. I really didn't pay much attention to what they had got everyone else, but I did see some of the things that they got for themselves, and that was all just clothing and make up.

We were called down for supper at about six o clock and there were some salads and finger type food sitting on the table. I really didn't eat that much because I wasn't all that hungry. Everyone was concerned that I wasn't eating enough. I told them that I was fine and that when I got hungry I would be sure to eat more. The left me alone after that because they all knew me well enough.

For the last part of the night I was curled up on the couch next to Edward reading Romeo and Juliet for the hundredth time. For some reason I could never get enough of this story. Edward was looking over some of the stuff that he got at the orientation from the hospital.

Slowly everyone else drifted off to their rooms leaving Edward and I to enjoy the heat that was coming from the fire place in the living room. He fell asleep sitting up with his papers in his hands, I had tired to wake him but he wouldn't budge. So I curled up next to him and fell asleep to .

I didn't wake up again until the morning when I felt something under me moving. I opened my eyes to see Edward trying to sit up without waking me. When he saw that I was awake, he frowned a little, until I smiled at him and gave him a kiss.

"I'm sorry Bella I didn't mean to wake you up."

"That's ok I needed to get up anyway, I was starting to get a kink in my neck. Did you want me to make us something for breakfast?"

"You don't have to if you don't want to."

"Well then I want to. I will make us some pancakes." I went into the kitchen and started to get the things that I needed ready. Edward came out and started to help me. It was the sweetest thing that he could have done for me. I knew that I was going to need to do something nice for him later on today.

Hey guys so I am sorry that I kind of fell off the face of the earth there, but I am back now and hopefully I can keep the updates coming. Also I just want to say that I'm sorry that the chapter really isn't all that good, try to remember that it has been a long time since I wrote anything. Anyways please review and let me know what you think and anything that maybe you would like to see happen.
