I pulled in the driveway and pulled the keys out of the ignition, not realizing what was going on inside. Edward was already opening my door by the time I was getting out. He reached in and scooped me off my seat and carried me to the door where I demanded that he put me down before Charlie saw. I opened the door and saw Charlie's gun and belt already hung up. I made my way to the living room and gasped at what I saw.

Scraping the ceiling was a gold star topping a Christmas tree that was taking up about half the couch space. Instead of sitting and watching T.V. like usual Charlie was up and laughing and joking with Emmett and Jasper who were helping him wind lights around the tree. I stopped and took in the scene with a smile. Jasper made a face and said, "Surprise! We cut it down ourselves. Ed wanted to do it but he was off gallivanting with his wonderful girlfriend."

I blushed when he referred to me and all the anger I had been feeling vanished as I realized that Edward really did know me. The sight of the happy Charlie and the Christmas lights warming the room made me feel wonderful, and as long as there were no glass ornaments I would be okay around Jasper. I smiled in spite of myself asking, "Do we have any ornaments?"

Emmett pointed to a large cardboard box sitting in front of the Television that was overflowing with ornaments, "These are the ones we used to put on our tree until we got bored of doing it and now we still have them. I told Charlie it was fine if he used them for your tree."

I picked up the ornament on top and smile it was a little picture frame encasing a picture of the family standing together, while Esme had apparently taken the picture because she wasn't in it. I showed it to Edward and he laughed and exclaimed, "Hey, I remember that when Esme shoved us all together because she wanted one ornament that she could put on the tree," Edward continued at the look of confusion on my face, "All the others are Carlyle's, the nurses always give him presents around Christmas and they are usually corny doctor ornaments."

I noted the truth in Edward's statement when I pulled out an ornament of a teddy bear with a stethoscope and a white jacket. We laughed together as we pulled out ornaments of hot water bottles, thermometers, and even one portraying Carlyle- his face printed across a doctor body. Soon the tree was full of ornaments and we pulled open the next layer of the box, which had something that made me gasp in shock and stumble backwards bumping my leg against the couch, "what, where, why?" I asked in astonishment.
