Told you I would update soon. To thank my reviewers (especially April Bloom who reviewed both chapters) I have added Edward's view into this chapter. I may add his view to other chapters as well if you guys like it.

Knowing the direction of Alice's thoughts, I snatched the kitten from Bella's hand just in time. Alice whisked her off to the next surprise completely forgetting about the white ball of fluff nestled in Bella's palm; perhaps the name angel would suit it. As I cautiously placed it onto the floor, I couldn't help but to think of it as adorable. Thank god I was the only one here who could read minds; Emmett would have had a field day if he had heard that last thought. Emmett was the one who had initially forced us into getting her this particular kitten, claiming that it and Bella were alike in qualities. When Bella finally had some spare time she would quickly work this out for herself because after just two small steps it toppled over. Instinctively I caught it before it hit the floor and set it back on its feet. I couldn't help but release a small chuckle as this similarity reminded me of my Bella when she was still a fragile human. Though to me she would still be too fragile to do anything I classed as dangerous, according to Alice that would be a lot of things.

I set it back onto its own four paws; its thoughts were jumbled as it was confused and disorientated. I'd never really listened to an animal's thoughts before because usually I would be hunting them. It was strange and very educational. The kitten had a mind like Renee, though I'm not sure Bella would appreciate me comparing her mothers mind to a kittens. It was simple in a way but just like Renee saw through all our pretences to the truth behind them.

Just then I decided if I wanted to catch the love of my existence and my lovable but annoying sister before they reached to next surprise then I'd better hurry. Luckily I was the fastest runner in the family so knew I would catch up easily. The sooner I reached them, the better though, I hated leaving my darling wife for any amount of time, even if I knew she was safe. She belonged with me, to me, forever, the same as I would always belong to her.

The thoughts of her caused my pace to quicken so I could hold her in my arms once again.

My ears were suddenly aware of a quick, steady motion behind us, just seconds before his perfect hand slipped into mine once again. Like normal, his touch sent relief and ecstasy sailing through my veins. After precisely two minutes we began to slow and the peaceful silence was shattered.

"No" Edward spoke abruptly in a stern voice; from the way he looked at Alice it appeared he was answering her thoughts. It was a good job looks couldn't kill but it made me curious as to what Alice had been thinking. She didn't appear ashamed.

"Fine, but I shall do it, not you" His voice sounded defeated but still unyielding, giving her only part of what she wanted. I wondered what they were plotting now.

"I won't cheat, I promise" he replied, once again isolating me from the conversation by answering her thoughts. Alice glared at him before agreeing with a short, sharp nod.

"You're awfully small to be so hugely irritating." He mumbled under his breath. Unfortunately the vampire hearing made it easy to hear him. Alice turned back towards us, sticking her tongue out at him in such a childish manner, that I couldn't help but to laugh.

"Don't attack me" he warned as he dropped my hand and stood behind me placing both hands over my eyes. It was easier said than done, my first instinct was to attack but I controlled it knowing I was safe here with him. Alice took my hand leading me 23 feet forwards and 5 feet left.

The scent was different here, not how you would expect it to be in the centre of the woods. Lots of different smells registered in my mind: honeysuckle; smoke; sawdust; many floral smells and the faint tint of metal in the air. Edward removed his hands slowly, tracing them down my arms, finally allowing them to rest on my hips. It was beautiful, a tiny stone cottage stood before me, complete 

with its own garden and a greenhouse. I had never seen anything like it before in my entire life. I knew the Cullen's gave elaborate, over the top gifts but never did I expect a house. Especially not one that appeared to be stolen out of one of the fairy stories my grandma used to read to me when I was little. Also surprisingly, it fit perfectly with the surroundings, looking as if it belonged.

After a few minutes Alice's face dropped "Don't you like it? It's from all of us" I realised I was just stood there, like a statue, with my mouth gaping open. I allowed a brilliant smile to light my face.

"I love it" I replied "Why didn't they all come?" Alice's face which had lit up with the first comment now lost some of its glow.

"Well, they sort of remembered how you are with presents so..." she trailed off.

"Sorry" I was the only thing I could think to say. "Can we go inside?" I asked

Alice handed me the key, allowing me to do the honours. I unlocked the door but before I could turn the handle, I was swooped up and cradled in Edwards's arms.

"Thresholds are part of my job description" he claimed as I looked into his eyes and he kissed me passionately on the lips tracing down to my throat with his mouth.

Alice looked unsure behind us.

"Are you coming?"

"I guess I'll have to, otherwise you won't get a tour" she stared looking knowingly at Edward. If he was human I swear he would have blushed, instead he looked away as he carried me into our new house with Alice following close behind.

So R&R please. Any names for the kitten yet? Sorry but won't be able to update until Mon/Tue, got a busy weekend. But please R&R I love to see what you all think
