Christmas Shopping

Chapter 3

Christmas shopping is the only day you have to try and survive. Unless you're a vampire and don't have to worry about dying. That was the good part about being a vampire. Not worrying when you're going to die. But being a human was better, because you moved forward.

"Come on Bella!" shouted the inpatient Alice. "We all know you'd rather go by yourself but you are coming with us!" Bella did not want to go with Alice, Esme, Rosalie, or the imprints of the wolves. She would prefer it with her and herself.

One reason was because she knew all of them would take forever when she already knew what she was getting for everyone too. But Alice refused to let her go alone. Bella hated that. She came down wearing some gray sweats and a random t-shirt.

"Oh my god, you are not going to the mall like that!" said Alice as Bella shrugged. Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Go wear something nicer! Please!"

"If you want me to go the damn mall, you're going to have to let me wear this," said Bella as Alice sighed.

"Okay," she said dully, "let's go."

Soon enough all the girls were talking. "What should I get Sam?" asked Emily. "I was thinking more clothes, but I don't know." Alice smiled. "I mean, what do you guys think?"

"Werewolves could always use more clothes," said Alice, as everyone giggled. "What do you say Rachel?" Rachel blushed and nodded. "Because we don't want Paul to go naked."

Now Rachel was blushing like crazy. "Thanks Alice, for the comment."

"Just using an example." Everyone giggled.

Soon enough Bella was looking at the Willow Trees, which is what she was going to give her daughter, Renesmee. She wanted to do something special, something that Renesmee could collect. She knew her daughter would love it, so she picked the Angel of Miracles. "That's really pretty," commented Kim.

Kim was the quiet one, Bella didn't expect to hear a word from her. "I know, so you're Jared's imprint." Her cheeks went slightly red.

She shot back in a friendly way, "So you're Edward's spouse." Bella chuckled and nod. "Who are you getting these Willow Trees for?"

She replied softly, "My daughter, Renesmee, I know she won't like it now but I want to give her something that she'll collect. I think these would be perfect, because she'll love them eventually."

Kim nodded, "I got one every year for Christmas, Easter, Birthday, and almost every holiday we celebrated from my mom, but she died when I turned fourteen. I never noticed how pretty these things were till after she died." She looked a little sad.

"I'm sorry about your mom," Bella says as she nods. She looks through them again, grabs the Angel of Miracles, and asks the lady for two.

"I decided on pants, he always needs pants!" exclaimed Emily. Everyone smiles. "I'll get one pair for every wolf."

Soon everyone was naming off what they were getting for the boys. It became a very eventful day for all of the girls. Even Bella had tons of fun. She even got to know Kim a little better; as Kim was opening up to her.

Five days later, it was December 21st; the boys still haven't done their Christmas Shopping. It was only four days till Christmas, soon Carlisle said, "We're leaving to the mall!" All of the boys came zooming out.

"What!" shouted Jasper? "This is the busiest time, probably."

"It's one of them," replied Edward. "But we have to get our family something."

"What the hell?" shouted Emmett "You interrupted my game for this! But I do have to get Rosalie something."

Soon they were in Sam's house asking if they wanted to come. The werewolves' agreed, since they didn't have the chance to do it. Except Quil, Jake, and Seth already done there's, so they didn't come along.

Soon they were all talking civically about what they were getting. "Looking in the jewelry?" Paul asked Sam "I bet you're buying it for yourself."

"Shut up Paul, aren't you buying a…"

Paul said, "Shut up! It's a surprise!" Sam just rolled his eyes.

Soon Jasper and Emmett were looking around everywhere for each and one presents for each family member. "So what are you getting Alice?"

"Clothes and shoes," said Jasper simply.

"Renesmee?"

Jasper said, "Um…I don't know."

Soon in an hour, the boys were all done shopping. Unlike the girls, it took them about three to four hours more.
