CHAPTER 2

Christmas Day went fast as we spent time with the family, talking and mucking around. Alice gave more presents to each of us, claiming that she forgot to bring them this morning. We all knew where she went for an hour before lunch time.

We went hunting around the forest as a family. Edward and I came across a few mountain lions, while Renesmee found a few deer with Jasper and Emmett. I now understood why Edward was paranoid with me wrestling big animals; it was absolutely terrifying watching our 8 month old chase after wild animals.

When we got back to the house, Renesmee wanted Edward to play her lullaby for her. He sat down at the piano; she followed him and sat on his lap. He began playing, and then stopped. I looked at him with a confused expression on my face. He patted the stool to say he wanted me to join them. I went and sat down, placing my head on his shoulder.

Everyone sat around and listened intently. When Edward had finished playing, everyone –especially Nessie – gave him a big applause before he started to play my lullaby. The concert was over before too long, so we all went our separate ways for an hour or so.

Edward kept bugging me about his present. He really was annoyed because he thought he knew what his present was going to be; I changed my mind – with any luck he would enjoy this present as much as any.

Alice helped me out with ideas. Hopefully, - and obviously - she had kept her mind off of the gift. For that I was thankful.

We ended the day with another concert from Renesmee. She pranced and twirled just like the night before, but this time, she fell asleep the first time she stopped to take a break. We took her back to the cottage after a short while.

We got her changed and then tucked her into bed. She woke up and Edward read her a story – she had begun Pride and Prejudice last week with me. He managed to get through a chapter before she started to drift off and dream. Edward left the room shortly after.

I came in and watched her dreams for a little while. I placed her hand on my face and lay on the bed. She was dreaming of Santa, that he came into her room and took her for a ride on the sleigh. As I took her hand off of my face, I looked at her face and saw a faint smile that made her look extremely innocent and adorable.

Edward knocked on the door as I was about to leave. He peeked his head around the corner and smiled my favourite crooked smile. I was dazzled, as usual. I stood up and walked over to join him. He took my hand and led me out of the room; he seemed extremely excited.

I was the one to break the comfortable silence.

"You're really excited aren't you?" I whispered in his ear.

"Absolutely; but I am also a little disappointed, considering what you said – about it not being what I expected." He gave me quick glance, maybe he was checking to see if I was lying. "But I'm sure I'll love it."

I nodded while trying to hide the massive smile erupting on my face. I was going to tease him as much as possible…if that were possible. He was practically jumping up and down the entire minute walk to our room.

Edward sat down on the bed and pulled me on top of him. I giggled quietly before he started to kiss me passionately. I didn't object, of course. My mind was in a completely different place to where it was meant to be; Edward's present.

I cleared my throat and pulled away from the kiss. He frowned and sighed. I couldn't help but continue to giggle.

"Alright, do you want your present first or do you want to give me mine first?" he asked, still hyped up.

"Um, I want mine first." I said quietly, and kissed him from his ear down to the corner of his lips. He sighed. Tease, Bella.

"Sure, give me a minute though. Okay?"

"Absolutely. Human minute or minute?" I said, trying to sound a little seductive.

"Minute," he said, as he got off the bed and ran into the closet. I got more comfortable and then turned to look at the door of the closet, awaiting Edward's return.

After only 30 seconds, he came out; to my surprised he was fully clothed and he had his hands were behind his back. Looks like my gift wasn't as I expected either.

He sat back down on the bed and laid across my legs. I started playing with his hair for a moment and then he spoke.

"You teased me, I tease you. My gift is definitely not what you thought. Just in case you hadn't already figured," he said in an almost joking tone.

"That's...fine." I replied, unsure of what to say. "So, can I have my present?"

He didn't answer, just pulled out a small box wrapped in fancy paper and bows. There was a card tied onto the ribbon. I opened it and began reading. Bella. Merry Christmas, my love. Our first Christmas as a family should be special – I hope it was – and this gift is to show my love for you. Forever yours, Edward.

I smiled at each and every word written on the card. I kissed his hair and began to pull the ribbons off and unwrap the paper on the box. It was small and when I took the lid off, I saw a smaller box. It looked like it was from a jewellery store.

Even before I saw what was inside, I knew my gift wasn't going to compare to what Edward had spent on me. Well, it was too late now. I clutched the top of the small box and opened it.

Sitting inside on a small cushion was a ring. White gold with an extremely large diamond in the middle. I gasped, it was amazingly beautiful.

"Look on the inside," he whispered.

I did. There was something engraved on the inside of the ring. I looked carefully and realised what it said: My Girls.

Edward took it off of the pillow and took my hand; he placed it on the centre finger of my right hand. He kissed each finger and my palm where he held my hand for on his lips for ages. I smiled and jumped on Edward. I kissed him and then he pulled away.

"My present?" he asked, with a childish, innocent look on his face. He knew I couldn't resist it when he teased me like that.

"Edward Anthony, are you trying to force me into giving you your present? You know that if you do that, it may just put you on the naughty list!" he growled and then grabbed my waist.

"Hey!" I said in between laughs. "I was just about to give you your present, but I can't if you're doing that."

He sat up and put on a poker face, but he was trying to hide a smile. I cleared my throat and placed my hands on his face.

I closed my eyes and tried my hardest to concentrate. I had been practicing this for weeks, with minor memories, but this time it was hardest to focus. It took all of my mind power to unblock Edward and remember times from when I was human.

I remembered the day in the meadow first. Then, when I had first met his family. The prom was a small memory too. The second biggest human memory was the night he proposed and then as much as I could remember about our wedding and honeymoon. Each time I focused on something, I heard Edward gasp.

He stayed incredibly still but I could feel him nearly slip up a couple of times. I kept a smile on my face, unsure if his eyes were open.

When I was finished, I opened my eyes and instantly felt Edward's lips on mine.

"Thank you, Bella. That was amazing! I loved it," he said before kissing my lips once again. "I loved every single moment of it."

I nodded but tried to continue the kiss. This was definitely the best gift I could be given.

A/N: thanks for reading! So how's my second fanfic going?
Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions are welcomed.
