Next was Edward and I was blushing as I gave him his gift. His gift from me was a large piano composition book. He smiled and looked over at me, wrapping an arm around me. "I was hoping, to hear some of the ones you'll write."

Edward smiled. "Of course you will."

With my mother and father, I had gotten each of them something they would both like. For my father I got him a gift card to a fishing store and my mother a Victoria's Secret gift card.

It was such an amazing time with everyone that we had to be reminded that Esme had actually made Christmas Dinner for us humans. It was such an amazing night. One I had surely enjoyed, especially being held my Edward made the night even better.

EPOV

New Year's Eve! The day where the new year has finally started. It signalled my 110th year on this planet. I sound really old... but am as young as the day my life changed. Not only did this new year signal a new year for us, but for Bella as well. Bella was so happy today, but sad as well.

Sadly, Bella's mother returned back home before New Years and Charlie was called into work. An upside though, was that Bella was going to stay with my family and I and that's what she was doing. Sitting in the family room, Bella was in my lap, as the rest of them girls were sitting in their partner's laps, except for Esme who was holding my father's hand. It was their romantic gesture towards one another. With Bella on my lap, I wrapped my arms around her stomach and placed a very kind kiss on her back.

Blushing, Bella moved to my side with her thighs resting on my lap as she sat sideways. It was 11:50 so there were ten minutes left.

"Man, another year... Bella's the youngest of us all, lucky her." Emmett teased.

Bella giggled. "I'm just a nice, nice baby!" Laughter erupted from Alice as well as Emmett.

"Good one!"

"But, it is true though, it's been so many years on this earth, many many good ones." Carlisle said.

"How many years does this make now for you?" Bella asked our father.

Carlisle smiled kindly at her. "Well, after the ball drops, it will be my 366th year alive." Bella's eyes widened.

"After the ball drops, could you tell me about what it was like then? You all would write better history books than the ones students have right now."

Carlisle nodded. "Surely."

All of us looking towards the tv noticed that they were at twenty seconds. Watching intently, we waiting.

"10! 9!" Emmett roared.

Bella stood up, joining him. "8! 7! 6!"

Alice got up next, all three of them counting down now. "5! 4! 3!"

The remainder of us then followed suit, joining them. "2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Emmett, Bella, and Alice cheered happily, and Emmett it so far as to give them a bear hug, being careful with Bella, but still being a tight hug for her.

"Now that we've had ya in our family for over a year now, you can't get rid of us girly!" Emmett teased.

Bella laughed. "As if I'd want to leave. This is my additional family after all!"

"Aw, you flatter us." Emmett smiled.

"You really are more of a big teddy bear instead of a grizzly." She teased.

Emmett nodded, "Don't you know it?"

It was then that Bella started to yawn. "Alright, love. You're tired. You should get some rest for tomorrow."

She shook her head. "No, no..." she yawned again. "I wanted to listen to Carlisle's stories about Old America!" She pouted.

I smiled and placed a hand on her cheek. "Love, he'll be here tomorrow. You need sleep or else you'll fall asleep while listening. His stories aren't boring, but..." I paused to notice her already dozing off. "That exactly is why you are laying down for bed." I chuckled.

"Huh? What? No! Put me down." Bella laughed sleepily. When she realized I was serious about going to bed, she gave up and in a sad tone said, "Good Night."

Chuckled came from the family room. "Good night Bella, sweet dreams." My mother said.

"We are going to go on a quick hunting trip, so behave yourselves." Emmett teased, causing us to laugh.

On our way up, I dropped Bella off at the bathroom outside my room so she could change. When she exited, she was wearing a sleep sweater, sweatpants and socks, her way of wanting to snuggle with me on New Years. Once she was in bed next to me, we turned to face one another. She looked at me and I looked at her. She was so beautiful.

"Hey... Edward?" She asked.

"Yes, love?"

"I want to ask you something..." I nodded.

"Okay." I looked at her curiously, waiting for her question or questions to come out.

"If... If you were human, would you still want me?" I gasped and looked at her.

"Of course I would! You're the only one to have made my heart realize it truly had something to lose. Had it not been for you, I would still be a shell, an empty shell. But you have changed me in so many good and amazing ways. Never doubt that if any of this was changed, if I were human and you were human, or if I was human and you were a vampire instead, I would love you unconditionally."

Bella blushed and bite her lip, a happy expression on her face. "I'm glad I have been that much of a benefit to you." She blushed even darker. "I was curious, if you were human, and we had kids, would you want kids and how many? I'm just curious. I'm just excited for what I know our future holds." I smiled and cupped her cheek in my hands.

"Well, yes, I would of course want children with you. And who knows... perhaps two or three at the most. When I was growing up, I always wished I could have had siblings. But, I knew we'll make sure to have our future Renesmee never feel sad about that."

"Of course." Bella agreed and leaned forwards.

The movement towards me excited me and I met her halfway, pressing my lips to hers in a heated moment of passion. The motion between our lips was so smooth but fast. It felt amazing to kiss her, more amazing than the taste of blood to me, or actually, they were about on the same level.

The buildup of the kisses was becoming so heated that I didn't think about it before doing it, but I climbed above her, not putting my weight on her. When I pulled away to allow her to breathe, I realized where I was and I looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry Be-" I went to get off of her when she placed her hands on my legs, looking at me.

"Please, stay there?" She asked, smiling at me. Hesitating, I moved back. "Please, kiss me more?"

Without further hesitation, I kissed her again, but was shocked when I felt her grab my hand and move it. It wasn't just the fact that she was moving it, but when I felt her grab my hand, I opened my eyes to see her inching my hand closer towards her breast. I gasped and sat up when I saw her blushing. "Love?" I asked.

"I mean, we've been together for a year now, haven't even been to second base yet... Do you not want to?" She asked in a sad voice.

"No, of course I want to! You silly girl, it just caught me by surprise is all." She nodded.

"So... can we continue?" Nodding, I began to kiss her again, but allowed her to position my hand where she wanted it. This new level was strange, but arousing though I knew I couldn't go further than this or there would be no stopping us. She was so sweet and thoughtful towards me and while I wished we could do more with her like a normal couple, we didn't want to risk losing the chance of having our little Renesmee.
