Chapter 6
It was nine thirty a.m. and Esme had breakfast ready by now and she was expecting the sleepyheads to start descending anytime. She'd heard Emmett's booming voice and he always acted like the house alarm clock; he was probably hungry and obviously extra-cranky.
Esme went into the living room to alarm Bella before she got surprised knocked down by the loud kid upstairs, but the surprised one was her when she found a familiar ginger head poking through the covers.
Edward had kicked the covers a bit because he'd gotten to the point where he started to feel suffocated under so much warmth. His eyes shot open at once when he spotted his mother watching him with fascination.
"Uhm. Mom, hi." His voice was a bit raspy.
"Hello." Said Esme curtly. "May you explain what's going on here?" By then they'd apparently gotten an audience.
Emmett was trying to sneak to Bella's and surprise her so hard that she'd fall to the floor, it worked every time. But this time, the shocked one was he. Alice was trying to stop him and Rosalie watched him amused, but then the attention was refocused on the new suspects.
"Well, you know how Alice is."
"Hey! Don't you dare blame me for whatever that is going on!" Alice whisper-yelled theatrically.
Edward rolled his eyes. "So last night she went on and on with her "goodbyes" and "goodnights" with Jasper, and I was so tired I just wanted to sleep. So I told her to just stay there already and I'd sleep somewhere else, and then I found tiny Bella with all this extra space and decided to crash here. It helped that she was already asleep and she couldn't kick me out." He gave his best Christmas smile.
"Okay, fine. You guys wake her up and I'll go check on the kitchen." Esme said dismissively, Bella and her son had the strangest of relationships; they hated each other's guts but were good friends underneath the stupidity. If she didn't know better, she'd say they loved each other. But that ship had already sailed and Edward had brought Tanya home for Christmas this year; she now recognized her as one of his old girlfriends. If that was her dream come true, why didn't she feel as happy as she should have?
Merry Christmas!
