Bellas point of view

December 15th.

"But, you cant go. Its Christmas. I wanted to spend it with you." I pouted.

"Sweetie dont do that to me." He begged and eyed my bottom lip.

I wrapped my arms around him and squeezed.

His parents were making him go to California for Christmas, for two weeks to visit his family. He was leaving tomorrow. He did tell me one week ago. I guess it just hit me now.

He picked me up off my feet hugging me.

"I'm going to miss you so much." I whispered.

"Im going to miss you to love. So much more than you think."

"Do you have to go?"

"Yes, im sorry. I have tried to get out of it."

I sighed and he put me down.

"Im leaving early in the morning so this-"

"Is the last time I get to see you for two weeks?"

"Yes." He said looking down suddenly interested in his shoes.

It was about 10:30pm.

Everybody was out of school because it was snowing like crazy here every day.

"Your shoes arent that interesting." I pointed out. He looked up sheepishly.

"This is the first time we would be apart, im nervous. I absolutely love seeing your beautiful face everyday. I dont think I can do without it."

I blushed and looked away. He pulled my chin back to him gently and pressed his lips to mine.

Our lips moved in sync. The passion could have melted all the snow on the side walk, since we were outside.

I heard a snap and looked over. He had his phone out taking a picture. I giggled and sighed.

"I love you." I said resting my head on his chest.

"I love you too sweetheart." He kissed my head and glanced down to his watch.

"Time to go?"

"Unfortunatly." He growled.

I sighed and pulled away, he kissed my forehead sweetly and pulled away walking to his car.

"Wait! Dont you want your jacket?!" I called and started to slip his hoodie off of me.

"Nope. Keep it." He smiled and got in his car. I smiled and watched him drive away.

Once he was out of sight my face turned into a pouty frown.

I walked inside and shut the door.

"Aw." My mom laughed and hugged me.

"He'll be back soon Bells." My dad chuckled from the couch.

"Yeah." I sighed and sat in the back of our Christmas tree so my parents couldnt see what I was doing.

It was lit up in millions of lights and homemade and store bought ornaments. I took Edwards present out from underneath it and held it in my hands.

We decided that we would exchange gifts once he got back. I hoped he liked it.

"We can go for a ride on my big green tractor, we can go slow, i'll make it go faster. Down through the woods and out to the pasture, as long as im with you it really dont matter."

I knew whos ringtone that was. Edward.

When he first heard he I blushed madly, it reminded me of when we drove his lawn mower together.

He actually surprised me when he said that he liked country music, but to keep it a secret.

I took out my phone and flipped it open.

I wont be gone for long, just dont fall for Newton boy. I love you and be safe. - Edward.

I let out an airy laugh at the text, then something wet dropped on my phone.

I didnt even realize I was crying. I heardly ever cry, only when I was a baby.

Why was I crying?! He was coming back in two weeks! Ugh. Hes been gone for 5 minutes and I already feel a sharp pain in my heart knowing I wont see him tomorrow or the day after or the day after...

I wiped my tears away but they kept coming. Crap.

I sniffed and walked up to my room silently. I collapsed on my bed and snuggled closer to his dark red hoodie.

It smelled so good. Just like him.

I forgot that I didnt reply and took my phone back out.

Newton? Over you? Yeah right. I love you too, dont fall for any California girls. - Bella.

He didn't reply so I closed my eyes and listened to the snow quietly tap on my window.

December 24th Christmas eve.

I moped my way downstairs for breakfast. 9 days. 9 freaking days!

Hes only been gone for 9 days. And I missed him so much.

There was not one day since we met that I havent felt his presence near me.

This may seem like im making a big deal out of nothing, but hell im in love with him!

"Bella please stop being so mopy. Its Christmas Eve!" My mom said slipping on her santa claus apron.

"Whatever."

"Santa Claus wont come if your naughty." She scolded. My dad let out a snort and went back to reading his paper.

"Oh gee golly im sorry, I want a big rubber ducky for Christmas! I better be good." I said in a little girls voice. My dads face turned red as he laughed and my mom just went back to making pancakes.

"You know you could have a little more holiday spirit." She said.

"Sorry." I said and walked away. I walked out our sliding glass doors that lead to our backyard.

The whole lawn was covered in snow. Deep, thick, white snow. Ugh.

I walked my way through it and marked 'Edward&Bella' in it with my shoe. I took another look at it and sighed.

I sat down and used my pinky to trace more.

'I miss him.'

'I love him'

'Im in love with him'

'Fuck my life he's gone'

I barked out a laugh at the last one.

Edwards point of view

Oh god, I missed her.

I missed her smell, her tiny body against mine, her plump soft lips on mine, her hair all around me, her beautiful eyes looking back into mine, seeing everything that goes deep within my soul.

"Edward!" My father said loudly. I snapped my attention to him.

"I've been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes."

"Sorry." I muttered.

"Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we should head back to Washington early." He said nonchantly.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Well, I mean we've never had a Christmas dinner with just us, and frankly im tired of your mothers family." He said the last part in a whisper.

Esme peeked her head in the room I was staying in and glared at him.

"Watch it." She said.

"Sorry Esme." He chuckled.

"Huh?" I asked again.

"Were going home early."

"Huh?"

"Edward! Pack your damn bags!" He said exasperated and left the room.

I was up and running around the room packing all my stuff in the next second.

I walked downstairs with my bags in hand. I heard my parents talking quietly in the kitchen and leaned on the wall till they came out.

I did hear part of their conversation.

"He misses her I can tell that." Esme giggled.

"You think? He's always offnin his own little world." My dad chuckled.

"I can see it in his eyes how much he loves her. I can see it in hers too. I think they were meant to be. Shes the only one that can get through to him."

"Yes, shes very good for him. I can see a real change."

"Change in what?"

"His personality, his anger, him whole. I can see a dramatic change, and we both know that Bella is the one who caused it."

"I love her too. Shes a really nice girl. Perfect for him, we know she'll keep him in line."

I heard my dad laugh and sigh.

"Should we give it to him?"

"Yes. But not right away, maybe for Christmas? I dont know if he wants to wait. But atleast he'll always have it. I have a really good feeling about Bella."

I heard a something snap closed and them walk out here. I went back to the edge of the stairs acting like I just walked down.

"Packed already?" Esme giggled. I smiled and nodded. They went upstairs to get there things and I sat down.

What on earth were they talking about? Whats this good feeling my mother has about Bella? What are they going to give to me?'

Oh god please dont let it be the sex education speach.

"Edward?!" Carlisle yelled.

"What?"

"You ready to go?"

"Yes." I said and narrowed my eyes.

We said goodbye to my family and soon we were on a plane heading back to Forks.

When we landed I was grinning like crazy. I've only been gone for ten days and I missed her like hell.

After we got home I unpacked and got out my phone. Right as I was texting Bella, I got a text from her.

Ten freaking days. I miss you like crazy, Christmas is honestly going to be nothing without you. I'll see you soon. Love you - Bella.

Hmm. Maybe I wont tell her.

Aw, you make me get all sappy inside woman. I miss you too. Only ten days is right. Too bad I still have to be gone for another 4. I love you. - Edward.

She is going to flip.

Christmas morning 9:00am.

I hopped out of bed, slipped on my checkered pj pants and white shirt, put on my shoes and headed downstairs.

"So excited to see Bella?" My dad chuckled. I blushed and looked away. Hmm. I just had a Bella moment.

"Go see her, but we want you back for dinner and presents." My mom smiled and shoed me away.

I got in my car and sped down the road.

It felt good to be back in Bellas familiar driveway. Im just not a California man.

I got out and knocked lightly on her door.

"Edward." Renee smiled.

"Hello. Im sorry, I hope its not too early."

"Of course not!"

"For Bella it may be!" Charlie called from the background.

"Shes still sleeping. We were going to wake her up, but maybe you should. Shes missed you like crazy."

"I missed her too. And thank you." I smiled.

I walked in and said hello to Charlie.

"I would put on a cup! Shes going to attack you!" He called as I walked upstairs. I chuckled and silently opened her door.

There she was, in all her beautiful glory. Curled up in a ball on her bed. She was wearing red and white candy cane striped pj pants, a long sleeved white v cut form fitting t shirt, her hair was all around her delicate face.

I kneeled by her bed and brushed the hair out of her face.

"Edward..." She mumbled in her sleep. I chuckled queitly.

"Yes love?"

"Miss...Edward...so..much." She mumbled.

Damn. I cant believe I left in the first place.

"I missed you too." I whispered and kissed her temple. Her eyes shot open and she gasped.

"Edward?" She asked putting her hand on my cheek. I leaned into her touch.

"Merry Christmas."

She grinned.

"What are you doing here?"

"Now, what kind of Christmas would it be without my beautiful girlfriend by my side?"

She threw her arms around my neck and tackled me to the floor. She squealed as she fell off the bed.

"Told you." Charlie laughed from the doorway.

She pressed her lips hard to mine then pulled back.

"I thought you were in California."

"My parents decided to come home early." I shrugged.

She kissed me again and Renee giggled.

"Well, we will leave you two alone." She said and pulled Charlie away.

Bella pressed her lips to mine again and tangled her hands in my hair. I wrapped my arms around her small frame and rolled over on top of her.

"Welcome home." She breathed.

I pecked her lips again and helped her off the floor.

"You look cute." I laughed and eyed her pjs.

She blushed and rolled her eyes. I followed her downstairs and ate breakfast with her and her parents.

"I'll see you tonight."

"Your leaving?" She said, a furrow forming between her brows.

"I promised Esme. But I will be back later to give you your gift."

I kissed her goodbye and went home.

Later that night

I was sitting with Bella next to her lit up Christmas tree, we just handed each other our gifts.

"You go first." I said.

She bit her lip and nodded.

She undid the wrapping paper and opened the box that her gift was lying in.

She gasped and took it out.

"When I first saw it, I saw your name written all over it." I chuckled.

It was a sterling silver bracelet with blue topaz stones.

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you. I love it. Its beautiful. Help me put it on?" She asked quietly.

I took her wrist in my hand and clipped it on her.

"I knew it would look beautiful on you." I said and kissed her wrist.

She rolled her eyes - which were fighting back tears - and motioned for me to open mine.

I pulled her into my lap and wrapped my arms around her with my present in my hands.

My chin rested on her shoulder as I opened it.

"Wow." I laughed as I opened it.

"I love it. Its me. Thank you. Put it on me?"

She slipped the black square, silver faced plated watch on my wrist and I smiled.

"I really do love it. I needed a new one." I said and kissed her.

(Both presents are on my profile!)

We both layed down on the couch in the dark, nothing on but the lights to the Christmas tree.

"Dont leave me again." She mumbled against my chest.

"Wouldn't dream of it." I said and kissed her hair.

I guess we ended up falling asleep, because it was morning when I woke up. Her parents didnt seem made that we fell asleep together. They probably new we wouldnt do anything.

I had to go home, but promised Bella I would be back later.

When I did get home my mom had me sit down.

"Last night when we were giving you your gifts we left one out." She started.

My dad placed a velvety small box in my hand and smiled.

They sat on the couch and watched me open it.

"Um, why are you giving me a ring?" I chuckled.

It was stunning to say the least. It was two bands in one, the top had a large diamond in the middle with small diamonds circling around the whole band, then the bottom one was just diamonds all the way around it.

It had very beautiful details. It looked to be atleast 15,000 dollars.

"That was your grandmothers wedding ring." Carlisle said.

I almost dropped it. I swallowed thickly.

"We want you to have it, because one day we know you will give it to a very special girl."

I smiled slightly, this must have been what they were talking about.

Bella wearing this ring? I started picturing it in my head and grinned goofily. There was only one girl that I would ever want to wear this ring.

Woah! I am not supposed to be thinking about marrying Bella! I've only known her for a few months!

But still... I love her more than anything.

Oh god, I should not be thinking about this.

"Now, son, were not saying for you to go out and get married right away."

"Your 18, and yes we do want you to wait." My mother said.

"But when the time comes, we want you to have it."

I closed the lid and ran my fingers over the velvet.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Your welcome." They smiled.

When Bella came over I lead her straight to the piano room. I havent played in months and I got the urge to.

"Do you play?" She asked running her hands along the keys.

"Yes. I have been playing since I was 8 years old."

"Why didnt you tell me?!" She laughed incredously. I sat down on the bench and smiled.

"I dont know."

I drifted my hands along the keys and started to play that familiar lullaby.

About halfway through Bella sat down next to me and rested her head on my shoulder.

When she touched me something shook me. I just got this inspiration that just had me playing.

This time I didnt stop at the middle. I kept going. For once, I kept going, I knew how to finish it.

When I played the last note I grinned.

"Finally." I said to myself.

"Is that the song that you hum to me?" She asked.

"Yes. It was inspired by you."

"It was?"

"Yes, I call it Bellas lullaby."

"Funny thing is, that I havent been able to finish it. Everytime I would sit in here alone and play for hours non stop. I could never get the perfect ending. But when you sat by me and rested you head on my shoulder everything just came to me! I finally finished it!"

I was grinning goofily and kissed her hard on the lips.

"Thank you. It was beautiful." She smiled.

"No, thank you." I said still in my daze.
