Age 5 Bella Christmas Eve
Bella was sleeping on the couch in the RV. She tried to stay up to see Santa but couldn't make it. This was our first Christmas together and this would be her first real Christmas period.
Even though we were in an RV, I let her decorate it to her heart contented. We ended up hanging our two stockings up against the window. When we stopped at the local thrift, she got her hands on those window markers and had a field day. Now whenever we look out, we see snow and hollies!
The last piece of decoration was a 3 ft. lighted Christmas tree. We went to Hallmark and picked some ornaments and a star. I told her to pick any ornament that meant something to her and I would do the same. I ended up showing her a strawberry glass ornament and she got a mystery ornament. She wouldn't show it to me until we got back to the RV.
Once we were back at the RV, she ran in and put it on the tree. "Edward, I don't want you to see the ornament till supper okay?" she told me.
I cocked a brow at her and she just giggled. "Sure Bella." I said as she ran off to her room.
After we ate supper, I helped Bella make cookies for Santa. She was so happy and that made me very excited. Once the cookies were done and set, Bella fell asleep on the couch. I covered her up and started to clean up.
When I went to put Bella's presents under the tree from me and "Santa," I remembered the ornament Bella placed. I went searching for it and chuckled when I saw it. It was an ornament that was shaped as a set of vampire fangs. I couldn't help but think of when I told Bella I was a vampire.

After Bella and I left the shelter, we went back to the RV. I fixed her a cup of hot chocolate and sat her down at the dining table. "Thank you for the drink, Edward," she said quietly.
"You're welcome." I said back. I wasn't sure how to start this conversation. So I decided to let her help guide me. "So…Bella, what do you know so far." That should get me started.
She looked up at me and began, "Well, I notice that you don't eat or drink anything. I know that you are really cold, temperature wise. Not your attitude. I also notice that your eyes constantly changer from a golden topaz to black. I'm not scared or anything," she finishes.
I look at her shocked that she noticed so much. Then again, this is my same perceptive Bella I'm talking about. Taking a deep breath I begin. "You're right Bella. I'm not what I seem. I'm not human. And I'm glad to hear that you aren't scared. Do have a guess to what I am?" I asked her.
"Well, you don't bring women around. That I know of. So an incubus is out. I've never seen a wand or anything, so not a wizard. Even though your hair is coppery, you too tall for a leprechaun. I guess that I would say you're my...guide. I don't want to say fairy godfather because that doesn't seem right. So I guess a guide." She finishes.
I am so stunned that she would say that. I don't think myself as a guide. "Well Bella, I'm not really a guide. I'm a vampire." there I said it.
After a minute or two she speaks, "Vampire, that won't anywhere near what I was thinking. I must ask Edward, why me. I want the truth please." She wants the truth? Well since I can't lie to her…
"Well, the truth is…I am from the future. Please let me finish first please. Okay, so again, I am from the future. I first met you when you moved to Forks with your dad when you turn 17. When I first laid eyes on you, I was encompassed by your floral strawberry scent. It was so delicious but I refrained from getting you. You thought I was angry at you. I wasn't, I just couldn't bring myself to kill you. A few…months later, I finally talked to you. It was then that I knew. You were it. I loved you already. We talked and flirted a little. Then one night, you were with friends when I came to you. I took you out to eat that night. After I got you home, we admitted that we loved each other. Everything was just perfect. Then one day, we were looking through my family's attic where there were baby pictures of me. I asked you about your childhood and you mentioned you never really had one. That night we went to our meadow and there were shooting stars. You made wish, I made a wish. Then bing bam boo, I was sent to your house that first day. My wish was to give you that happy childhood you deserve. So I guess I'm getting my wish for you." I said kind of teary when I finished.
"Oh, Edward" she said as she got up and came to hug me. "Thank you so much for that. For everything. You'll never know how much I love you. I can't believe that I'll have a wonderful future with you. You are so amazing."
I continue to hold her until she slept, "No, thank you Bella. I love you so much."

The memory still makes me smile. I tuck the rest of the presents under the tree and start to drive to Montana. I want Bella to wake up to a snow white Christmas day. I love my life.
