A/N hola! If I said I was sorry, would you believe me? It's just that this story hasn't been my first priority. I'll try to keep up with this one now, though. Because I'm sure some people are thing, what is this story? I don't remember! Hell, I pretty much did that. So, please enjoy what I hope is a good chapter!

(Bella's POV)

"Bellaaa," someone whispered in my ear. "Beeellaaa."

"Mmmm," I mumbled. "Go away."

"Sweetheart, you have to get up now. If you don't, Alice is going to come up here," Edward said quietly, putting a strand of my hair behind my ear. He was petting my hair.

"Five more minutes," I said sleepily, turning over. It seemed he had given up, because I heard a soft sigh, and I smiled victoriously. As my mind began to blur, and I was entering the dream world, I started to be shook violently.

"Bella! WAKE up!"

My eyes shot open, and I was so surprised that I rolled off of the bed. "Ahh!"

Alice put her hands on her hips and looked down at me. "Do you know what day it is?!"

"Sleep day?" I said hopelessly.

"Christmas day! Your first Christmas with us! So GET UP and be merry!" she ordered.

I rolled my eyes and stood up. I looked at my clothes. "Do I have to change?"

"No. I mean, everyone else is staying in their pajamas to stay in the spirit." And that she was. She had pink silk pajamas on, from Victoria's Secret, with little black polka dots on them. I was curious to see everyone else's.

"Okay, you got me. Let's get this over with," I said, but she knew I was joking. Somehow, I was actually excited for this. What is wrong with me?

She squealed, and dragged me down the stairs. I stopped halfway down, frozen where I was standing. Alice continued to skip down, and she gracefully loped into Jasper's lap.

There. Were. So. Many. Presents. I wanted to throw up there were so many. I could only imagine that the majority of the pile was for me. I shuddered very visibly.

Edward was suddenly there. He wrapped his arms around my waist. "Are you okay, Love?" he asked, worried.

"Yes." I shuddered again, giving away my lie.

"What's wrong?" He put his lips to my ear. I shivered, but this time, it wasn't from the presents. I felt him smile.

"N-nothing."

"Tell me," he whispered, nibbling on my earlobe. My will shattered.

"The presents," I said shakily.

"What about them?"

"There are so many."

"And?"

"And how many of them are for me?"

He was silent.

"Oh, great," I moaned.

He picked me up swiftly, and we were suddenly sitting on the couch, me on his lap, him kissing my neck from behind. It was softly enough that I could pretend that I didn't notice it.

"Merry Christmas everyone," I said, trying to be cheery.

"Merry Christmas, Bella," everyone else said in chorus. It was creepy.

"Breakfast for the human?" Edward asked. Just then, embarrassingly, my stomach growled.

I blushed. "Yeah."

Esme then came into the room, carrying a plate with eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and toast on it. She also carried a glass of what I identified as orange juice. It looked delicious.

"Thank you, Esme," I said, taking the plate from her when she offered it.

She and Carlisle weren't going to stay for this, Alice had told me the day before. So I'm guessing that she left when she gave me the plate.

"Edward," I said quietly, "I can't eat all of this."

He kissed the top of my head. "Just eat what you can."

I shrugged, and started picking at the food. I started with the bacon. Poor little pig. I remember one time when I was little that I felt so bad for eating pork chops that I tried to become a vegitarian. Every time we ordered pizza, I picked off the pepperoni. Every time Mom made breakfast, I told her to skip the bacon. Everyone except Mom thought that I was becoming anorexic because almost everything that I ate before that mostly consisted of meat. So they kept offering me food, and when I refused to eat it (it was meat), they started to take evasive action. One day, I got just so fed up with everyone that I started to eat meat again. No one ever mentioned that again.

I blinked, and came back to present times.

"…Bella? Bella?" Alice was waving her hand in my face.

"What?"

"Just making sure that you were paying attention. Now, here…" She handed me a large envelope.

"From me and Rose," Emmett said, grinning so widely it must have hurt.

"Thanks." I set it in my lap.

Alice eyed the envelope. "Aren't you going to open it?"

"Shouldn't I wait for everyone else to get their things?" I asked patiently.

"No, we want to see what they got you!"

"Ugh. Fine."

I picked it up and carefully opened it. On the cover of the card the only thing I saw was my name written in a very elegant script, and below that was a toothpick taped to the card. I raised my eyebrows, looking at Emmett.

"You'll understand once you open it," he explained.

I turned my attention back to the card. I opened it, and something fell out of it. I ignored that for the time being and read what was inside: Hey, Bella! You're definetily sure to get a kick out of this! Hope ya like it! Love, Emmett and Rosalie.

I picked up the even smaller envelope that came out of the card and gasped. Two tickets for Jeff Dunham's next performance in Seattle.

"How did you get these!" I squealed. "I've always wanted to see him! Thank you so much!"

Emmett's grin looked like it was going to go off of the sides of his face it was so big. "You're welcome." He put his arm around Rosalie.

After that, a few more gifts were passed around and opened. Some squeals, some how did you find this?, some awww, I love you. But thankfully, no more for me yet.

"Hey, Emmett," Alice said.

"Hmm?"

"Guess what Bella and I got for everyone!"

"What?"

"Open it and see!"

She handed Emmett a really, REALLY big box to open. They could only be one thing…

He tore the rapping paper open in one swift movement, and opened the humungous box. One by one he pulled out the…

"Nerf guns!" he yelled excitedly.

I couldn't help but laugh, and neither could Alice.

All of a sudden a dart was shot, and it hit me in the eye. "Ow!" I yelled, my hands rising up to my eyes.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked immediately.

"My eye," I whimpered. "It was open when he shot it."

His face turned cold and he turned to Emmett.

"Oops! Sorry, Bella!" He sounded like he meant it.

It hurt like a mother! What the hell, did he like jam it into my eye socket?

Alice was suddenly handing me an ice pack and Edward wasn't holding me anymore. Actually, he and Emmett weren't even in the room.

I put the ice on my eye, and asked, "Where did they go?"

She jabbed her finger to the backyard and I nodded.

"Fighting?"

"Wrestling." And, sure enough, I heard some yelling as Edward asked him who the hell he thought he was and the such. I would have to apologize later to Emmett for Edward's behavior.

I sighed. Right now all I wanted was to have Edward here, and yet he was outside. Not exactly a good combination.

"Edward?" I very nearly whispered. Not even a second later, he was standing in front of me.

"Edward, don't fight. It's Christmas morning. It's just an eye, I have another one." I smiled.

"I'm sorry, Bella," he apologized. "I'm a bit too over-protective of you."

"I've noticed," I commented.

I sat back down, and hugged a pillow to my chest. I could feel myself losing consciousness again. My lids drooped…

Edward positioned me on his lap again, and I leaned my head back on his chest. He rocked us back and forth slowly, humming my lullaby. The other Cullens were talking quietly to each other.

"Wait!" I said, before I fell asleep. "Alice, where did you put my gift for Edward?"

Edward looked at us curiously.

"Here," she said, handing me two boxes strapped together to tightly that only a vampire could open them. She smiled mischeviously. I knew what the bigger one was, and I wasn't going to let Edward open a box of lingerie for me in front of his siblings.

I handed him the boxes. "Don't open the bigger one till later, though," I added.

He smiled brightly, and took the box from me, nodding. He took the little one off and tore open the paper, revealing a small Ipod Nano. I got him a black one, with Edward Anthony Mason Cullen engraved on the back of it. Below his name, I engraved Love, Bella. It was all in very tiny letters.

He handeled it with great care, as I'm sure he could accedentaly crush it very easily. He smiled again, and kissed me gently on the lips.

"Thank you, Bella. This is wonderful."

"You're welcome."

"I have something for you as well," he said.

I flinched as I thought of all the possibilities. I forced a smile though.

He gave me a small, small box. I looked up at him. He nodded his head in encouragement.

I took off the silver wrapping paper very carefully, and very slowly. A small black velvet box now laid on the palm of my hand. I drew in a shakey breath, and lifted up the lid.

The first thing I saw was a circular shape. I examined it more closely. In the middle was a pearl, a real one, not fake. Around that was my birthstone, a topaz. The topaz was the color of Edward's eyes when he comes back from hunting. And even around that, was a thin lair of diamond. The chain was a pure, shining silver. A single tear formed, and silently rolled down my cheek.

"Thank you," was all I could manage at the moment. I sincerely meant it.

I took the necklace out, and held it up for Edward. He got the message, and took it from me. I leaned forward slightly, and grabbed my hair, pulling it up. His hands went to the front of me for a moment, and he brushed his hands softly across my neck as he fastened the necklace together. When he was done, it hung down my chest proudly, glimmering off the sun that shone through the window.

I turned and kissed him, and he returned the kiss. It was short, for his sibling's sake. When I turned back to them, some of them, Alice and Emmett and Jasper looked like they wanted to cry, while Rose sat there, stiff as stone. She was looking politely away. I knew that the only reason Jasper looked like that, though, was because of all our raging emotions. Poor guy.

A/N huh. I can never seem to make a chapter short when I'm writing this story. lol. Well? How was that for a chapter? Tell me in a review!

P.s. Sorry for leaving it off there! Oh, and tell me if I should use some of the gifts in future chapters. I already mapped some of them out, like the Jeff Dunham show, and the Nerf guns, but you tell me! Please, I love the input! Thanks!
