Chapter 26 – The Party
EPOV
I couldn't believe that everyone had agreed to this. Bella and I had already said no to the ideas of bachelorette and bachelor parties. Why did they have to try and trick us into this? I was snapped out of my internal pissing and moaning by Bella's external pissing and moaning.
"NO ALICE! I TOLD YOU NO!" Bella screamed as she struggled up from the couch. Her baby bump seemed to get bigger and bigger every day.
"Bella just wait…" Alice started to plead but I cut her off.
"No Alice! I don't know why you have to push this. Bella said no party and that is what should have happened, NO party! Why can't you just let this go?" I demanded from her. Suddenly I felt like an asshole. The look on Alice's face made me want to punch myself in the face for speaking to her like that. If she could have cried, she would have been bawling. I watched as Jasper crossed the room to her and hugged her as she shook softly. DAMMIT! I was a horrible brother.
Bella had turned to speak when I had finished but had fallen silent at the look on Alice's face. I saw a few tears escape Bella's eyes as she slowly walked over towards Alice.
"Alice?" Bella said softly. "Alice I am sorry. I didn't know this meant so much to you."
"It isn't that," Alice said from Jasper's chest. "It's just…well…we got you presents!" Alice shrieked as her body started shaking again. However, the reasoning behind her current emotional state was amusing and I tried hard not to snicker.
Apparently everyone else felt the same way, including Jasper, because I heard muffled snickers from all around the room. Only Bella couldn't contain her laughter and started giggling loudly. Alice shot her a dirty look but quickly started smiling and then laughing along with everyone else. Leave it to the demented pixie!
"Ok now. Can we get on with the party?" Alice asked, bouncing up and down.
We all laughed some more and then settled back into our seats. I was kind of anxious to get this over with quickly.
"Ok, so, this isn't just a bachelor/bachelorette party, we each have some things we wanted to give you as wedding presents but wanted to keep between us. Who is going first?" Alice said as her eyes glazed over. She shook her head lightly a second later and said, "Rose and Emmett are going first." Well, if she had seen it, who could argue?
Rose and Emmett started smiling and then hurried out of the room. Bella and I looked at each other with puzzled looks and then heard the garage door opening. A minute later we heard doors shut and Rose and Emmett came in the front door with ear to ear grins on their faces. What were they up to?
"Guys…follow us," Emmett said as Rose headed back outside. I got up and helped Bella up from the couch and we walked outside. Parked in front of the house were two vehicles but they were covered so we didn't know what they were.
"You didn't…" Bella started and Rose went to her and hugged her, quieting her down.
"Don't worry Bella; you will love it I promise. Besides, one is for Edward and you," Rosalie said.
"But that means that one is just for me," Bella deduced.
"Well, yes, but like I said, don't worry. Emmett?" Rose said, nodding at Emmett.
Emmett pulled the cover off of one of the vehicles and I almost died! It was what I was going to buy for Bella and I and Rose and Emmett had already bought it for us. I couldn't believe it!
"YOU GOT US A 2009 VOLVO XC90? IN SILVER?" I was astounded. My mouth was dropped open and I glanced at Bella and her mouth was open too. She walked towards the XC90 and opened the passenger door. I moved to the driver's side and got in, breathing in the new car smell. Bella climbed in nest to me and FLASH, a picture was snapped of us with our mouths wide open. I looked to see Alice holding the camera and grinning wickedly.
"So, do you guys like?" Emmett asked.
"HELL YEAH!" I replied as I jumped out of the Volvo and grabbed Emmett into a bear hug. He hugged me back and I felt the wind immediately knocked out of my lungs. "Can't breathe…"
"Shit, sorry man," Emmett said as he released me. I looked to see Bella and Rose hugging and smiling. Bella then hugged Emmett and he was much more careful with her as I hugged Rosalie.
"Thank you both so much," Bella said.
"Oh we aren't through with you yet," Emmett said with an evil grin on his face.
Bella looked at him, puzzled, but smiled as he moved to the next vehicle that was covered. Alice came up behind me and whispered in my ear.
"Go stand behind Bella; she might faint with this one." I looked at Alice worriedly and hurried to stand behind Bella, wrapping my arms protectively around her. She looked at me and I kissed her chastely.
"You ready Bella?" Rose asked, smiling ear to ear. I had no idea what it could be and was just as anxious as Bella seemed to be.
"Yes! Just show me already!" Bella pleaded with them but had a smile plastered on her face.
Rose grabbed one corner of the cover and then quickly uncovered the other vehicle. MY JAW DROPPED! I was in even more disbelief this time. I heard Bella squeal and start bouncing up and down. But in one second she was bouncing and the next she was hanging from my arms as she tripped and I had to catch her. Apparently the almost fall had scared her because I had to lean down and remind her to breathe before I set her on her feet.
"Rose? Emmett? You guys did this?" Bella asked shakily.
"Yep, we have been working on it for some time. I couldn't leave it in that storage shed forever. Besides, you loved it! And, everything deserves a second chance," Rosalie said smiling as a small tear rolled down Bella's cheek.
"I can't believe it. Are you sure this is it? It sure doesn't look like it," Bella said softly as she walked towards it. Bella opened the door and stuck her head in, taking a deep breath, then another. I watched as her eyes closed and her head tilted back like she was enjoying every smell. Bella stepped back and smiled at Rose and Emmett. "It still smells like tobacco and peppermint. Are you sure that this is it and you didn't fake the smell?"
"For the most part it is it. It has a new motor and transmission and drive shaft and brakes and suspension and tires and paint, but we just reupholstered the interior and tried to keep that just the way you remembered it, save for a new stereo and gauges," Rose explained. "And, now it will go 90. I had Em test it out."
"I still can't believe you got my old truck and fixed it up," Bella said, almost to herself.
"Wait lil sis! There is one more thing!" Emmett said as he bounded over to the truck. He opened the door and dropped down the sun visors and pointed at something for Bella. She looked a little pissed at first then started laughing hysterically. I ran over to see what was so funny and saw that they had embroidered "The Beast" into the sun visors and also noticed it on the head rests of the seat.
Bella hugged Emmett and Rose tightly and thanked them both profusely. Alice interrupted before it could last too long.
"Bella, Edward, you guys still have more gifts to receive," she said with a twinkle in her eye. I was slightly worried but not too much anymore after the first gifts had been received. "Come on you two!"
We all headed back inside and Bella and I sat back on the couch, not knowing what to expect next.
"Jasper and I are next," Alice said, jumping up and down. "Jasper honey, can I go first?"
"Of course! You know better than I do anyways," Jasper said and we all laughed. It was true.
"YES!" Alice squealed as she ran out of the room. She returned quickly with two big bags stuffed with tissue paper and what looked like a poster board. "Ok you two. The first gifts are the smaller ones but they go with the bigger one." Alice handed Bella and I each a bag. "Well, open them."
We both pulled out the tissue paper and the reached into our bags. I pulled out something blue and Bella pulled out something purple. When we unfolded them I noticed that they had the Cullen crest embroidered on them and something else too.
"Alice, does this mean that…" Bella started and Alice squealed.
"YES!!!! You are having a boy and a girl! I wanted you to find out as your wedding present!" Alice was squealing and bouncing and Bella got up and joined her.
"OH MY GOD!!!!" Bella squealed! "Edward! Can you believe it? Edward?"
I couldn't say anything. My voice was gone. All I could do is think about how I was going to have a son. A son… He would be mine. I was going to have a son and a daughter too. A daughter, would she be a daddy's girl? I knew it was twins but now knowing that I would soon hold little Renesmee and Edward III. Without realizing it I had knelt on the floor and had my head in my hands. I felt a warm hand touch my shoulder and I looked up into my Bella's eyes and saw them welling up with tears. Why was she crying?
"Bella?" I said softly.
"Edward, are you ok? Are you ok with all this?" Bella asked.
"Yes, oh yes Bella! I just can't believe that I will have a son AND a daughter!" I said as I got up and wrapped my arms around her, kissing her deeply.
"Hey guys! As much as I enjoy seeing this little display of affection, I still have one more gift for you two," Alice said, interrupting us.
We turned to her as she grabbed the big poster board and spun it around. Bella gasped and my eyes widened. On the board was a computer generated image of the nursery for the twins. Esme and I had been working on the blue prints but I didn't know that all this had been done. The walls were painted dark beige, almost like cappuccino, and there were monograms painted on the walls above the cribs of Renesmee and Edward's initials. The cribs were white and 4 post with blue and purple bedding with chocolate brown accents. There were two white rocking chairs and changing tables. One wall was full of windows and the cribs were on another. The other two walls were painted in a mural. It kind of looked familiar.
"Do you like?" Alice asked.
"Is that our meadow?" Bella asked first and I immediately recognized the mural.
"YES!" Alice squealed. "I wanted them to see the place that was so special to the two of you."
"Oh Alice, this is perfect!" Bella said as she hugged her. I had to hug her too. She had out done herself on this one.
"Is it my turn yet?" Jasper interrupted us.
"Yes Jasper, it is your turn," Alice said, sticking her tongue out at him. He smiled at her and then produced a leather bound journal from behind his back. He handed it to me and I sat down with Bella to look through it. It was our family trees. Jasper had also included a copy of each of our birth certificates. Bella was looking at mine when she gasped.
"What is it?" I asked, trying to see what had made her gasp. Jasper was smiling wide.
"Edward Anthony Masen delivered by Dr. Fredrick Clayton Swan. Jasper?" Bella said.
"Yes, your great great grandfather was the doctor that delivered Edward. I was surprised when I figured it out myself. This just shows that you two were meant to come together," Jasper said.
"How so?" Edward asked.
"Well, Bella's great great grandfather brought Edward into this world then moved to Washington and settled out here. Edward almost died of Spanish Influenza and Carlisle found him and saved him and brought him here to Forks. You two were destined from the start," Jasper explained and all I could do was smile at him and then kiss Bella.
"My turn you two," Carlisle said stepping forward and handing us a manila envelope.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Open it and you will see," was all Carlisle explained.
I opened the envelope and my eyes almost bulged out of my face. It was the deed to the house here in Forks.
"Carlisle, I can't accept this," I started but he interrupted me.
"Yes Edward, you can. You and Bella should have a place of your own and I thought that Bella would like to be near her father especially," Carlisle said and Bella jumped up to hug him.
"Thank you Carlisle, you don't know how much this means to me," Bella said through tears.
"Yes Carlisle, thank you so much," I said, getting up to hug him also.
"There is just one more thing and it is for Bella," Esme said.
She produced a small blue box with a white ribbon. I recognized the colors immediately as Tiffany. She handed the box to Bella and smiled.
"This is for you dear. It is a part of becoming a Cullen," Esme said.
Bella opened the box and gasped. Inside was a pair of platinum earrings with the Cullen crest on them. Surrounding the crest were tons of small sapphire chips. They shone and sparkled as Bella stared. I could see the tear starting to escape and smiled at her. I loved that my Bella was so emotional over this gift. This was the final piece to her being family. She had deserved it years ago but it was perfect now.
Bella looked up with tears streaming down her face. I couldn't believe the intricate design of the earrings.
"Each of us has a piece of jewelry with the Cullen crest on it. I designed each piece save for my bracelet. I wanted you to have your piece too, you are a Cullen," Esme explained.
Bella was speechless as she reached for the earrings with shaky fingers. I held the box as she put them on. They looked beautiful on her.
"Thank you Esme. I feel like a Cullen. You all have been so wonderful to me. I couldn't ask for a better family. Well, second family," Bella said as the tears started streaming down her cheeks. We all enclosed her in a big group hug and welcomed her in.
"Well, I hate to leave but Esme and I have a dinner date with Charlie, Renee, and Phil. We have to be going," Carlisle said and then he and Esme excused themselves as they headed out to meet up with everyone.
"Ok, now that they are gone, we can get down to business!" Emmett said as he smiled devilishly.
"HUH?" was all I could manage.
Jasper disappeared and returned with a trunk. He set it down in front of the couch and motioned for Bella and me to sit down. Rose, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper stood in front of us and then Jasper opened the trunk. Bella immediately blushed 20 shades of red at the contents.
"What is all this?" I asked, slightly annoyed and slightly embarrassed.
"Well, this is the trunk of toys!" Alice squealed and then she went into a long description of everything in the trunk. There were vibrators, cock rings, flavored lubricants, lingerie, and an assortment of books on positions.
Bella and I blushed deeply as she removed and explained each item. When it was over Emmett carried the trunk upstairs and we followed. I shut the door behind us and sat on the bed with Bella. She was eyeing the trunk and still blushing. I scooted closer to her and wrapped my arms around her waist and started kissing my way up her neck. She started to lean into the kisses and rubbing my thigh.
"So, are you up for some 'experimentation'?" I asked.
Bella grinned widely as she stood up and headed for the trunk. When she turned around I was immediately turned on by what she had in her hands. Thank god for the trunk of toys!
