A/N: Okay guys trying to get another chapter out before Christmas due to all the great reviews I have been having. This chapter is going to take off from the last one on Nessie's Birthday and then I thought well it's Christmas – let's do a Cullen Christmas – tis the season and all that. So I hope you like it and as usual: read, enjoy and review. Lastly I would like to thank everyone who reviewed chapter 27: Didn't see that coming – YOU ARE GREAT. When I read them I laughed and I felt great that everyone has confidence in me. Please keep reviewing. Therefore I added a little note to each of the reviewers names in answer to their reviews Here they are:
LiAmZbAbE - I'm glad you enjoy my 'beautiful work' and glad you like the story.
MagindaM - Thanks for the criticism, and offer to be my beta, but I think for now I will do it on my own. Thank you though and I'm so glad that you are enjoying the story.
Twilight fan girl 201 –Wow never had anyone call themselves my fan – so I'm really touched and I'm happy that you are enjoying it so much. Don't give up on yourself – have faith – I had the exact same feeling when I started writing.
full-of-maturiosity - thanks for the reviews and ideas. I have a few of my own that I'm using now, but maybe later or even a sequel they could be used – they sound really good and I could see myself working with them. Have no fear the wedding will come.
laurazuleta18– Thank you and yup Leah will be imprinting very soon
Neon5Samra– Thanks – sorry you don't like the imprinting but I'm one of those people who wants everyone to find someone so I will be imprinting Leah – sorry. Also with the different words, I have been trying to use American words – so it's just if it is the wrong terminology, then some can correct me. For example in UK we use the word pavement and you use the word Sidewalk.
LizzieAliceCullen – I am so glad you enjoyed the chapter and as asked I am trying to update quickly. And a merry Christmas to you too.
obsessedtwilighter427 – Thank so much for your kind words – it's great to be compared to my favourite writer (Stephenie Meyer) and I'm so glad you are addicted to my writing. Therefore to stop you having withdrawal symptoms – here's the next chapter.
stephalily - glad you enjoyed Edward's POV. Not sure about Leah, do you have any ideas for her?
moonfairie - Glad you liked it. Do you mean a sequel for My Little Loch Nessie Monster?
chicken wing jasper is hot– It's great that you liked Seth and Cait together.
deviLISH-innocence - I am so happy that you liked all of the parts of this chapter
MrsJakeBlack - Thanks for the review and glad that you like the pairing of Seth and Cait.
Lady Dragona– it's great that you liked Seth's imprint – he always seemed left out, so I thought 'why not?'
April Bloom – Thanks! The smirk that Edward gives after Nessie speaks about the car was one of my favourite moments in the chapter.
BellaSwan321 - I'm glad someone told me of my evil ways – and I think I will still keep doing it XD

RECAP. . . .
'Hey' Seth said, smiling at her 'I'm Seth'. She looked at him and replied 'I'm Cait'. She looked bemused, star struck – like it was love at first sight. My mind suddenly caught up,
Uh oh I thought.
'Right well let's get some food' the others agreed and soon the atmosphere was buzzing. I signalled to Jake who came over, I grabbed his hand and walked away from the group, the sea was lapping at our bare feet.
'Did you see what just happened?' I asked.
'No. . what?' he looked in a daydream stroking my hair.
'You did see love at first sight between Seth and Caitlyn. . LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, JAKE!' I raised my voice a little.
He shook his head and looked back over at the group. Seth and Caitlyn were sitting together, deep in conversation, still looking into each other's eyes.
'Hey!' he suddenly got it 'you don't mean?'
I nodded 'Yup. . .' I pulled him into my arms 'looks like we have another imprint'
'Didn't see that one coming' Jake said and laughed. . . .

At the Party. . .
Nessie's POV
I thumped Jake on the chest, he looked at me, 'Jake don't laugh it's not funny'. He took my hand, 'but you have to admit that it is very sweet' he told me. I nodded in response,
'Well at least it means that one more of my friends knows the truth now about. .' I waved my hands in the air '...everything'. Jacob wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we began walking,
'Let's go and get some food' he told me. Soon we were seated with the others. Jake was cooking some sausages on a stick for us and I was sat next to him. I snuggled into his shoulder.
'Do you know what?' Jamie began 'I still can't believe that you're sixteen'. Luke agreed,
'Yeah and now you can drive..that awesome car' he eyes glazed over at the thought of my Porsche Boxster S. Tia waved her hand in front of his face. There was no response, and then Embry tried, he came close to his ear and shouted,
'HELLOOOO!!!!' Luke came back with a start and frowned at Embry. He got up from his seat and walked over to Embry.
'Right, Em, this means war' he yelled and Embry got up and ran, closely followed by Luke. Tia shook her head.
'Boys' she muttered and I nodded. Jake elbowed me,
'HEY! We're not all brainless idiots' he told me, scowling. I patted his shoulder,
'I know you're not' he shrugged and handed me a sausage. It was hot to touch, and warmed the inside of my stomach. I glanced over at Caitlyn and Seth and saw they were still deep in conversation.
Perhaps this maybe a good time to leave them alone for a bit I thought to myself. I nudged Jake and he looked at me,
'Maybe we should go for a night swim' I told him, my voice strong. I looked to the others, who then looked at Cait and Seth and decided it might be refreshing to have a night swim. We all got up and I grabbed onto Jake's hand, dragging him to the waves. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw Leah run off. Jake looked too and let go of my,
'I have to make sure she is okay!' he told me.

Cait's POV
It had only been a couple of hours or so and already I felt a great connection with Seth. He was so gorgeous, dark hair that fell into his eyes, a smile that seemed constant on his face and he was so tall, towering over me when I first met him.
He took my hand,
'You're really amazing Cait,' he stroked them with his thumbs; he bit his lip as if he was going to tell me something.
I looked into his dark eyes, 'What is it?' My hair blew in the wind and into my face. He took one hand from my hands and tucked the strands behind my ear.
His eyebrows furrowed, 'I think that..that..I love you' he muttered. I was amazed at what he said; no boy has ever said that to me. I smiled and replied,
'Well, I think I love you too' and I leant in to kiss him. His lips were soft and gentle against mine, but also like a jolt of electricity went through us and I could feel the warmth of his body next to mine. I pulled away and looked at him,
He smiled at me and got up. He gave me and hand and I took it, Seth pulled me up. He put an arm around me and we walked towards the water and Seth shouted,
'NESS! I'm gonna take Cait home now' he shouted. I couldn't see in the dark if she heard this or not, but we began to walk towards his car. I got into the passenger seat and buckled in. He got into his seat and did the same.
'How about.. .' he began 'I tell you an old story' as his started the car engine.

Jake's POV
'Leah, LEAH!!' I yelled her name but she didn't stop, but her pace slowed and soon I had caught up with her.
'WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!?' I yelled at her and as she turned I could see there were tears in her eyes. I bit my lip, knowing I had over stepped them mark, by shouting at her.
I sighed and pulled her into a hug, she cried and I could feel my T-shirt becoming wet with her tears. She stopped after a while and pulled away,
'Sorry' she muttered, wiping her eyes with the cuff of her shirt.
'What's wrong?' I asked, looking at her.
'Everything, my life, Seth..' she trailed off.
'Seth's imprint?' I questioned, thinking about Cait and Seth.
'Yeah' she replied 'everyone is fallen in love or being imprinted apart from me – even my younger brother found someone before me!' she cried.
'There is someone out there for you Le, I can feel it' I took her hand and she shrugged.
'Maybe' and she began to walk into the wood.
'I'll see you later Jake I gotta go and clear my head, go for run?' she pulled off her shirt – I was used to this by now and it didn't bother me.
'Where?' I asked, worried she may do a disappearing act like I did many years ago.
'The truth is Jake – I'm not sure' Leah told me and sped off into the woods.
I sighed and turned, walking back towards the beach, hoping that she would be okay.
When I got back I could see Nessie and the others drying off from their swim. They were all shivering, but looked exhilarated from the expressions on their faces. I sat down and Nessie came over, sitting on my lap. I wrapped blanket around her and myself
'You okay?' she asked, her eyes looking towards me. I nodded,
'Leah's gone off though,' I muttered, my face must looked upset as Nessie kissed my cheek,
'She will be okay, she's a fighter' Ness reminded me.
I really hope so. . .

One Month later. . .
Nessie's POV.
It was a new day of school. Great. It was the first day I decided to take my car to school, but as I had not crash or tortured Jake's Rabbit, I felt okay about it. My engine hummed as I pulled into a space in the parking lot – I was already getting looks from bystanders.
I switched off the engine and pulled the keys out of the ignition. I stepped out of the car and felt a presence behind me – it was Luke and Jamie.
'Oh My God' Luke cried and threw himself onto the boot. I shook my head,
'Luke careful, you'll scratch the paint' Jamie shrieked. I laughed,
'It's okay Jay, maybe Luke and my car need some time alone' I grabbed Jamie's arm and pulled her to the main entrance.
'Where's Cait?' she hadn't been to school for four weeks.
'I think she's suffering from the flu' Jamie replied.
'Cullen!' I turned to see my headmaster coming towards me. Jamie grimaced and began to walk down the hall, I knew why - she was scared of him, since her older brother had been a rebel, and didn't want to get on the wrong side of him.
She mouthed sorry and I shrugged.
'Yes sir?' I asked when he came closer.
'We have a new student today and I was wondering if you show him around as you have the same timetable'.
I nodded 'Sure' I replied. He escorted me to his office and I could see there was someone sat down.
'Now, Mr Swift, this is Miss Cullen and she will be your guide – if you need anything – ask her'.
The boy got up and smiled. He was tall – about six foot or so and had light brown hair and was wearing beige ¾ lengths and a blue checked short- sleeved top. I smiled in return and led him out of the office. I stopped and stuck out my hand,
'I'm Nessie or Ness'
He took my hand; I saw he had many bracelets on his wrist. 'I'm Jesse or Jess,' he laughed, 'we rhyme'.
I laughed too and we began to walk again, 'so what's your locker number?'
He grabbed his schedule and read the paper, 'Erm..34'
'Not far from mine' I told him as we got to his locker. He put his bag on the floor and began entering the combination as he did this his arm of his shirt rolled up and revealed a tattoo.
'Wow' I said and he looked down at his arm,
'Er yeah' he pulled his arm sleeve further up to reveal the full tattoo 'it's a Celtic cross – in memory of my brother, he died a while ago. I got it done in Port Angeles'
'I'm sorry about your brother, but that's cool' I told him. I wanted to change the subject – I could tell he was uncomfortable with talking about his brother.
'Shall we get to class?' I asked and he nodded. I was still thinking about his tattoo, maybe I might get one. I shook the thought from my head.
School seemed to go quickly, as I talked to Jesse about his hobbies and all sorts. The end of school came with the ring of the bell
'So when did you move down here'
'Only a few weeks ago, we used to go to Port Angeles for holidays, so my mom wanted somewhere close and chose Forks'
I nodded as we walked into the lot, I pulled out my keys.
'Hey! Are you doing anything now?' I asked
Jess shook his head, 'Nope, my mom won't be home from work until seven and until then I can do whatever'
'Great!' I told him and pulled him towards the parked cars.
'Why?' he asked, his eyebrows furrowed but he was smiling.
'We're going to Port Angeles' I got to the car and opened my door. I looked to see Jess standing still,
'This is yours? You didn't do a grand theft auto did you?' he asked.
'Nope' I shook my head smiling – it was funny to see the effect my car has on boys. 'Come on get in' he did as he was told and I revved up the engine and sped off towards Port Angeles.

Tribal Tattoos. That's what the sign read as we stood outside.
'Ness, are you sure about this?' Jesse asked me, I looked at him and nodded, pulling him towards the door. The doorbell chimed as we swung the door open.
There was a teenage guy sitting at the counter, he looked up and smiled at me.
'You want to get a tattoo?' he asked, coming around from behind the counter.
'Yeah, that's why we're here' I told him
'Okay, Kia will be with you in a minute but for now are you going for a pre-design or custom?'
I thought about it for a moment – I wanted something unique and original. 'Custom' I replied,
'Well, I can draw and we can discuss the design for your tattoo then' he got behind the counter again and grabbed a pen and paper.
'Well I want the names Nessie and Jake intertwined' I told him. He looked up at Jesse and smiled,
'You're lucky to have her as your girlfriend, Jake' he told Jesse, who shook his head.
'Oh no, he's not my boyfriend just a friend – this is Jesse'
The boy behind the counter grimaced 'sorry it's just we get a lot of couples come in wanting something similar so I just assumed'
'It's okay' I said and he got back down to sketching out a design.
'Okay, take a look at this and tell me what you think'.
It was beautiful, the first letter of each of our names were done in the same Celtic style as Jesse's cross and then names crossed over.

'I love it' I told him and he smiled again, 'I think I'm going to have it on the small of my back'
'An artist is always happy to have his work appreciated' he said and then led me through to meet Kia.

Hours later . . .
Nessie's POV
I had got home a while ago and decided to go for a run. The wind was cool and awakening on my face and slid through my hair. The constant beating of my feet against the ground was in rhythm with my heart and soon I felt great. When I got back, I opened the French doors in my bedroom to let more of the cold wind in. I collapsed onto the bed, hot and sweaty from the run.
'Hey, sweetie' I heard someone say. I sat up to see Jake leaning against the frame of the door. The wind was blowing his hair, and his smile melted my heart.
I went over to him and hugged him, I could hear him laughing, 'I missed you too, baby'. I could still feel I was still hot and decided to change.
'I just need to change into some jeans and a new shirt' I told him, he nodded and sat on my bed. I went over to my closet and pulled out some jeans and a blue T-shirt.
I pulled off my hoodie and tracksuit bottoms, pulling on my jean I heard Jacob intake a breath.
'What happened?' Jake asked, 'did you hurt yourself' I looked down my back at white square, that hid my tattoo.
'Oh no it's not like that' I pulled at the white square and showed Jake my tattoo. He knelt down and took a closer look,
'Ness, is this for real?' he asked. I turned around and looked at him, 'Yup'
'And you got it for me?' I shook my head, he frowned.
'I got it for us' and leaned in to kiss him.

Christmas Day. . .
Nessie's POV
The past week, I had been in La Push visiting Jake. In that time I had seen Rachel, Paul and their son Rio, who was now six. Leah had come back a few weeks ago and I stayed at her house. I had also talked to Cait, who finally knew about the Pack and my family, and she wondered if I was any relation to Dracula.
Now, it was three in the morning and I had stepped through the door of the main house. It was empty, which was surprising – I had wanted to catch the family before they went on their hunt. The lounge was undecorated which was also surprising – Alice loved Christmas as much as parties. I frowned and dumped my bags of the sofa, heading to the kitchen to fetch some food.
After I began to cook poached eggs with toast, I heard a commotion in the lounge. I ran in to see Carlisle, Jasper, my dad and Emmett were carrying a ten foot tree. Alice, mom, Esme and Rose were in front of them, helping them bring it through the door. When Alice saw me, she ran over and hugged me hard.
'I missed you' she told me and I hugged her too.
'Same here, but why so late with Christmas decorations?' I asked, she smiled, her eyes a light with happiness.
'It didn't seem right to do it without you' she answered and grabbed my hand, I frowned at the tree,
'Where and why did you get the tree?' I questioned,
'Well we needed a tree and as we were out this morning we found this one' she pointed at the tree coming through the door.
'So Emmett punched and kicked it down – it took longer than I thought' she said loudly for Emmett's benefit.
'Hey!' He said 'it was a thick bark!' He picked it up by himself and placed it in the corner of the room.
'Yay! Now time for decorations!' Alice cried and opened the boxes of tinsel, baubles and her favourite – lights. Firstly she grabbed the lights and ran over to Emmett, who boosted her onto his shoulders. She began to wrap the Christmas lights around the middle of the tree unable to reach the top.
Jasper came over and pulled me into a hug, 'how are you sweetie, everything good in La Push?' he asked,
'Yeah they are all good,' I told him,
'Hey do you want to try wrapping the lights around the top of the tree?' Jazz asked.
'And how do I do that?' I asked. He grabbed my hand.
'You'll see' he said and pulled me towards the tree.
'Hey Em, maybe Ness should try to get to the top' he winked at his brother. Emmett laughed and Alice jumped down from his shoulders.
Emmett pulled me into his arms,
'Emmett don't you dare!' Edward warned, giving him a glare. Emmett just laughed,
'Too late bro' and flung me into the tree. Thank goodness for my quick reactions – I managed to grab onto a branch near the top.
'Gee thanks Emmett' I screamed at him.
'Here Ness, CATCH!' She ordered and threw some tree lights at me. I caught them and began to wind them around the tree. Soon the top of the tree was eliminated with the twinkle of fairy lights.
'Perfect' Rose and Alice cried.
'Ok I'm jumping down – you'd better catch me, Em'
'Well I was thinking, Jasper' he began, ignoring what I had just said 'that Ness would make a good angel on top of the tree.'
I growled and jumped from the top of the tree. I shut my eyes terrified that I wouldn't be caught. Luckily, Jazz was under me and caught me easily.
'Thanks' I told him and got down from his arms, and then went over to Emmett and punched him in the shoulder.
'Some angel' Emmett muttered 'she can throw a good punch'
'She's taught by the best' my mom told him, placing her arms around my dad's waist.
'What the same person who broke her hand by punching a werewolf in the mouth?' Emmett asked his booming laugh filling the room.
'Careful, Em, back then she was a human' my dad began 'now, she's a vampire she could kick your butt.'
I shook my head and turned away from my family, bending down to get baubles from the box. By accident, I dropped a few of the balls and they fell to the ground with a 'smash'. I heard everyone in the room intake a breath.
I turned around to see my mom and dad behind. Their faces angered, down to the furrowing of their eyebrows – they seemed pretty angry for me breaking a few baubles.
'Renesmee Carlie Cullen' my mom began, her voice furious
'When did you get a tattoo?' my dad finished.
Uh oh perhaps it may have been better to stay at the top of the tree I thought to myself, as I stared at the faces of my angered parents. . .
