I own nothing. Stephenie Meyer owns all.

Rosalie POV.

"Wake up! Wake up! I want my gifts and I want them now!" I heard Emmett's megaphone loud voice shout out as he simultaneously banged on my bedroom door. Alice's scream told me that he'd probably walked into her room to forcefully drag them out.

Fearing the same treatment, I began to blindly push Jasper out of bed while mumbling sleepily, "Go take him for a walk or something to calm him down."

I heard him growl at me just before I heard a painful sounding thud as he evidently fell out of bed. "Rosalie, he's not a dog, you can't just take him for a walk to calm him down," Jasper began as he hauled himself from the floor with an angry look on his face. Uhh-ohh should not have done that! I cringed as he finished his sentence. I watched as his face broke out in an evil smile as he stalked around to my side of the bed. I sat up nervously while Jasper finished, "I don't think that it was very nice of you pushing me like that Rosalie."

I screamed as he picked me up over his shoulder. "Jasper you little bugger, put me down!!" I screamed pointlessly as he carried me out, to the living room with ease. My flailing legs and head got hit a few times followed a mocking, "Woops" from a smug Jasper.

I pounded my fists into his back once we were in the living room while everyone else laughed. After a minute or so of spinning me about and tickling my feet, Jasper dumped me on one of the sofas unceremoniously.

I shot daggers at Jaspers back, imagining my payback while he headed back into our bedroom. I flattened my hair down half heartedly while I noticed Emmett smiling at me from the other sofa. "Happy Birthday" I smiled back at him. I marvelled at how my raging anger just disappeared after a smile from Emmett.

Jasper returned within seconds with two wrapped boxes in his hand. He set them on the coffee table and sat beside me, throwing me into an over the top hug, as some form of apology. I laughed along with him while he whispered into my ear, "Truce?" I smiled evilly, even though he couldn't see and whispered back, "For now"

"Come on girly girls!" Emmett called out from the sofa as he leant his head back. It was clear to see that he was fighting the urge to start opening the gifts that were in front of him. Edward sat beside him on the sofa running a hand through his already dishevelled hair.

Alice and Bella soon came into the living room and followed suit by placing a gift each beside the others. What's wrong now? I wondered as we all watched Emmett as he sat forward twiddling his thumbs idly.

"Erm…..Emmett?" Alice began nervously, not really knowing what to say.

He suddenly looked around while asking in a pretend surprised voice, "Ohh, sorry? Can I start now?" I could see the corners of his mouth turn up as he fought to smile.

Bella threw a cushion at him which he deflected easily as he reached forward for the first gift.

Emmett POV.

Hmmmm Bella's gift first methinks…I decided as I reached for a square package with blue wrapping paper with stars all over it. I shredded the paper excitedly in seconds to reveal a thick rimmed, black photo frame which held a picture of the six of us hugging from Halloween night. I looked from the picture to Bella with an impressed smile on my face. I leant down and gave her a kiss on the forehead in thanks while I passed the gift around for everyone else to look at.

Next up……drum roll…….the pink wrapped gift. Alice's handy work no doubt…I thought as I picked up a big square box that was lighter than I expected. I gave Alice a sceptical look as I shook the box. She stuck her tongue at me, which I took as my queue to get moving. I ripped open the outer wrapping to find a pink box. I gave Alice another sceptical look before I asked tentatively "You haven't done the whole Russian doll thing, have you?"

My only answer was, "Maybe I have, maybe I haven't." I watched her cross her arms as she waited patiently for me to open the box.

I complied and took the top off. I pulled out a pair of blue overalls. I turned them around only to see the back printed with the words, 'Emmett, office boy at Rose's'

in an elegant pink script. I began to laugh while I held up the garment for everyone else to read. While they were all laughing and commending Alice, I got up and put them on over my clothes. Wow the fit perfectly! I realised as I sat back down after a few spins and wolf whistles. I gave Alice a quick kiss on her cheek before I moved onto Jasper and Edward's joint gift.

"Guy's its not some kinky stuff again is it?" I asked jokingly while the girls giggled.

"Open it and find out" Jasper answered me with an exaggerated wink.

I destroyed the wrapping paper and opened the lid to the box. Inside there were masses of shredded tissue paper. I dove in and pulled out a ticket. I read over it quickly before putting it back in the box safely and turning to Edward beside me with a huge grin on my face. Before he had a chance to escape I lunged at him and planted a smacking kiss on his lips.

The whole room erupted in laugher as Edward pushed me away, looking horrified as Jasper backed away slowly. "Don't worry, your time will come when you least expected." I warned as I turned back to my gifts.

"What did they get you?" Rosalie asked me, curiosity dripping in her voice.

"Tickets to a Monster Truck show!! How cool is that!" I smiled as I patted a nervous Edward on the back.

I looked over to Jasper who was still a safe distance away. I said, "See how Edward now embraces my thanks? Unlike you!" I laughed as he just lifted an eyebrow at me.

I rubbed my hands together excitedly and reached for the final gift from Rosalie. I knew that I would love it, whatever it was. As I tore the paper away, I could see her in the corner of my eye biting on her bottom lip nervously while fidgeting in her seat.

As I pulled open the lid of the box, I finally saw the object that felt so heavy in the box. I pulled out the silver coloured triangle, which was my name plaque. It simply held my name with a little inscription at the top saying, 'Rosalie's much appreciated PA.'

I couldn't conceal my love for this gift, even if I tried. I carefully put it down on the table for the rest of them to look at, while I stood up and made my way towards a still nervous looking Rosalie.

Catching Jasper off guard, I quickly detoured around the sofa and planted a rough kiss to his lips. While everyone erupted in laughter and teased him, I headed towards Rosalie. I sat down beside her and gave her a hug while I whispered in her ear, "Thank you Rose, that was perfect." I kissed her neck and then I felt her give me a squeeze as she hugged me, before releasing me and sitting back with a breathtaking smile on her face.

"That was great guy's thank you!" I smiled as I realised that my parents hadn't contacted me, and probably wouldn't, and that I didn't really care for once.

I got up and grabbed the shredded wrapping paper that was littered over the floor while Alice announced from beside me, "I hope you don't mind, but I booked a table for us all at the restaurant down the road…..and then I thought we could go watch the fireworks display that's supposed to be happening ….." she finished while looking adorably apprehensive of my answer.

I dropped the pile of wrapping paper that I had been holding in favour of pulling Alice to me in an exited hug as I told her, "Of course that's alright! Let the good time's roll!!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rosalie! Can I come help you with the cars?" I shouted from the office desk which now proudly held my new photo frame and name plaque.

I looked up from my crossword to see her brushing hair back from her face as she said, "Of course, I told you, it's your birthday, and you can do what you want." I can't believe how cool she is!! Who else in their right mind would let me loose in their garage?!! I wondered as I got up and headed towards her excitedly.

"Wow... there, one condition though…" she began with a serious look on her face as she held her arm across the doorway to stop me from passing. Uhhhh-ohhhh what the heck…? I panicked as I waited for her to come out with some sort of ludicrous condition.

"I have to inspect your work once you've done what I've told you to do okay?" she told me while raising an eyebrow at me as if she believed that I would actually mess up and engine or something. I gave her a quick salute and followed her out to the cars.

By lunchtime, I was exhausted. She worked hard and only stopped to go and answer the phone. "Up you pop!" she called cheerily from somewhere above me as I lay beneath a car. I rolled out and took her hand to get up.

We still sat at the little crickety table with the chairs for lunch, but they'd been moved inside because of the cold November weather. Minutes after we had sat down, Old man Jack arrived as usual and took the last empty seat. He wished me a happy birthday and commented on my new overalls.

Once we'd finished our lunches, Rosalie cleared up while I said goodbye to Jack. He traditionally threw his cigarette stump into the trashcan and hoped that I had a good night tonight.

I dried up the dished that Rosalie had washed, while I wondered where she was. My query was answered as a sound at the office door drew my attention to her. I watched silently as she pulled on her coat and called out to me, "I'm just popping to the shop a few doors down, could you watch the phone for me? I'm waiting for a call."

I nodded at her while she thanked me. I made my way to the office and sprawled out on the comfy sofa. I must have dozed off. I sat up in the completely silent office feeling confused as to how long I'd been asleep for. I rubbed my eyes as I stretched, but froze when I belatedly realised that I wasn't alone.

Mwahahaha! Cliff-hanger!

I only just realised after I got this whole chapter finished that American's probably don't celebrate Guy Fawkes Night seeing as it's a British thing….my bad!! So I tweaked it a bit in the next chapter!! : P
