Chapter 29

BPOV

I woke up to Alice jumping onto my bed the next morning. "Bella Wake up! Its Christmas morning!" Alice yelled at me rolling over and pulling the pillow over my head and groaning loudly. She grabbed the pillow and threw it across the room while Rose pulled off the comforter.

"Come on, Bella. Lets go open some presents, eat sausage balls, and drink coffee and hot chocolate," She said pulling me out of the bed and helping me onto my crutches.

I followed the excited down the stairs and into the living room where I was involved in a big hug by Emmet. "Good morning, Bells," He greeted me and I nodded and he balanced me on the crutches and went and sat on the floor with Rosalie as Alice sat in Jasper's lap in on the couch. I made my way, passing Aro. It was going so smoothly until he tripped me and I fell to the floor and Carlisle and Esme were beside me in a second.

"Bella what happened?" Carlisle asked me as he and Esme helped me up and sat me onto the bar stool.

I pointed towards Aro who had a smile on and had already made himself comfortable to make it look like he had been there for a long time. Pig.

Carlisle shined the same flash light he had used last night and shook his head. "Don't worry Bella. Your fine. Just from last night, I think it will delay your healing," Carlisle said to me, while putting away his flashlight after shining it in my eyes again.

"Would you like some Hot Chocolate and Sausage Balls, Bella?" Esme asked as she pulled out a warm batch of Sausage Balls out of the oven and fanned them softly. I nodded and she grabbed a mug of Hot chocolate from the counter and it was still hot as I sipped it.

I ate a few Sausage balls and then I was settled on the couch beside Esme and Carlisle. I looked around. Rosalie and Alice were handing out presents to different people. Jasper and Emmet were sitting in the middle of the floor with presents around them. I felt horrible that I didn't have any presents to give to them.

Carlisle stood in the middle of the room and said, "Merry Christmas, everyone. Now lets open now gifts." I sat in my seat as I drank my steaming cup of Hot Chocolate as I watched everyone opened up their presents.

Alice bounded in front of me and landed a small gifted, wrapped into my lap. I looked at her questionably. "That's from the whole family, Bella. Just open it!" She said and I opened it and it revealed a small, simple necklace with a silver chain and had a crest on the bottom, must be their family crest.

"Its our family crest, Bella," Esme said rubbing my back and motioning to the little box that held the crest. I gave her a hug as a thanks and she took the necklace out of the box and slipped it around my neck and hooked it around my neck. For a second I had a flash back of Dr. Gore putting a collar around my neck and I shivered and shook the thought out of my head.

Alice gave me another rectangular shaped package. I carefully unwrapped it while Alice said, "That's from Esme and Carlisle." I nodded and the wrapping paper tore off and there was a few classics in DVD stacked up. Books like Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice, all on DVD! I loved it. I hugged Esme and then Carlisle as a thanks and Alice handed me a bunch of presents from Her, Rosalie, Emmet, and Jasper which were filled with a bunch of winter clothes but not a bunch of Winter clothes.

"Bella, Rosalie and I are going to take you shopping for Spring clothes soon. We aren't sure when but we are sure when you are much more… healthier," Alice informed me as I played with my necklace and I looked at the top of the stairs and I could see Edward peeking out of the bars that kept him in his room.

We both caught each others eyes, but his were filled with anger but also I saw love in his eyes. I looked away to then find Aro starring at me with a weird face on and I shook his face out of my head and covered my face with my messy like hair into a curtain so I couldn't see anyone.

I felt some one tap me on the back and I jumped. "Bella, would you like to come help me prepare for our Christmas Dinner, its already 1pm," the voice said, Esme. I relaxed and looked at her.

I nodded and she helped me up off the couch, leaving everyone talking and I glanced at Carlisle who was talking to Aro. UGH. He annoys me so bad!

I followed Esme to the kitchen and sat at the bar and she put some yams in front of me to mix up with some other ingredients. I mixed them quietly and Esme fixed the turkey. I know how she could stand fixing it and all the guts and stuff.

Emmet came running into the room around 2pm and said, "Bella, come on. You have to come out side, its snowing!" The child in Emmet came out to play. Be outside the house? I haven't ever done that since I have gotten hear a few weeks ago for the 2nd time. I wasn't ready to go back out side. But I also wanted to go out. I cant take it though!

I shook my head and Esme looked up and saw my look, "I don't know, Emmet. She still has her cast on and she cant go through the snow with her crutches," Esme defended me, thank goodness!

"So, we should wrap up her casts, so what and then I will carry her. Don't worry, Mom. I got this down," Emmet found that loophole that I hated. Gosh, Emmet! "So what do you think, Bells?"

I shrugged and he took that as a yes, "Awesome, go get dressed and go back to the living room!" He exclaimed and I looked at him weirdly and did what he said that. But I got up and went up stairs and dressed in some heavy snow.

I pulled on some boots and found Carlisle, Aro, Carmen, and Eleazar in the living room and Carlisle saw me.

"Here Bella, let me wrap up your cast so you can go out side and have fun," Carlisle said and I sat in the recliner near Aro because it was the only seat left.

I sighed as Aro's eyes penetrated me while Carlisle wrapped my cast. I yawned as Emmet came down the stairs and came by my side as Carlisle finished and he scoped me up into his arms. "Come on, everyone is waiting."

He carried me to the front yard where he stepped into a foot of snow and walked to a huge pile of snow where Jasper and Alice were waiting for us. Emmet sat me on a stool in the snow and peaked over the bound of snow.

"We are having a snow ball fight and Rose is on Tonya, Irina, and Kate's team ," Alice said like it was a deadly thing and looked around. "The point of the game is to hit all of the players onto the ground. Once you hit the ground, your out."

But what about me? I asked in my mind and Jasper seemed to get what I was thinking.

"Don't worry Bella. No body is going to throw a snow ball at you. You don't count for that, you just get to throw them and you can defend the fort with Emmet while Alice and I go on offence," Jasper said the battle plan as if it depended on our life. Thank goodness I was with Emmet. "Their fort is in the other side of the house. The backyard."

I nodded, Then I heard a loud noise and looked at Emmet. "The snowball fight is starting."

"Come on, lets go, Alice," Jasper said and Alice rubbed her mittens together.

"Ok, lets go," Alice said and the snowball fight continued. At the end, we won since we had Emmet and Jasper.
