Hey peeps, here is another chapter for everyone. I hope you like it. I am skipping again this time to Thanksgiving. This should be interesting seeing that the Cullen family don't eat food. Just read to find out.

Chapter 8: Thanksgiving

Edward's P.O.V.

Well it been a few weeks since the fight with Tanya, Irina and that guy. Bella was hurt pretty bad but is doing much better. Her ribs are healed, her fingers are healed and her ankle is almost completely healed. But her leg is still broken and it taking time to heal. Dad said that if it is not healed after Thanksgiving then she will have to go to the hospital to have it fixed surgical. Well its a week till Thanksgiving and we are trying to see how we are going to do this even tho she is just one and don't really understand the holidays. Alice sees us inviting some humans over that were close to Bella's mom and dad but we have to call them if we can find their numbers. Oh well I guess we will have to play this by ear for now. Today dad is going to take another x-ray of her leg to see what it is doing.

I looked at the time and it was going on 8 am and Bella will be awake in just a few minutes. It was my turn to get her up so I went to her room and waited till she started to move around. I got to her room and she was already awake and playing with her toys. When I walked in and she saw me she threw her toy down and raised her arms up for me to pick her up. I walked up to her and picked her up and held her to me. She gave me the biggest hug she could and smiled really big at me. I changed her diaper and got her ready for the day. I put her in a pair of blue jeans and a long selves purple shirt. Dad came in then smiling really big and when Bella saw him she reached for him. So I gave her to him and we three went to his office. I talked to Bella and told her what we were doing and she just nodded. So dad put her on the X-Ray table and I told her to be still.

Dad took the pics he needed and when to develop them. I played patty cake with her till dad came out and I read his mind then.

"Edward, lets go tell the family," dad told me.

So we walked downstairs while I held Bella and the family was there waiting for us.

"Well dad, what did the X-ray say?" Rose asked.

"Well family, as soon as Thanksgiving is over Bella is going to have to have surgery on her leg. I took many pics of her leg and found out why its not healing like it should I missed it. On the back side of the bone is a shard that has came off and is keeping the bond from coming together. So they are going to have to go in and remove that piece and even put plates in there to help her leg come together," dad told us.

We did not like this news but we knew it had to be done. I sat down with Bella still holding on to me and she started to cry some. I think she knows what is happening to her and she is upset over it. Mom then came over and took Bella from me and held her while she cried some. Mom then took her to the kitchen to feed her.

"Guys, Bella is going to be just fine after the surgery. I see her walking and running again and being a happy little one year old," Alice to us.

We sat around talking then mom came back into the living room with a smiling Bella. Bella reached for Rose then and mom gave her to her.

"Okay guy's, I see some of Bella's mom and dad's friends coming to Thanksgiving with there family and kids Bella's age. I have to call them and ask if they would come. I see Mr. and Mrs. Webber and daughter coming over; Mr. and Mrs. Newton with their son; Mr and Mrs. Stanley and their daughter; and Mr. and Mrs. Yorkie and their son. So I will be down in a bit with more plans," Alice told us.

She and Jasper took off up stairs and left us to talk downstairs.

"I am board, lets go shopping or something," Rose told us.

"Okay, lets go to the mall then when Jasper and Alice are done they can join us," dad told us.

So we packed a bag for Bella and even tho Alice saw it mom went and told Jasper where we were going. Then me, mom and dad got into dad's car and Rose and Em took the Jeep. We took off then. We got to the mall and went our own ways. I went to the music store while mom and dad took Bella in to all the baby clothes store and toy stores and Rose and Em went where ever. I got done in the music store and came out with more music and piano sheet music and went to look for mom and dad. I found them in the toy store with Bella. I also found Alice and Jazz with them. We shopped for more toys and games for us older kids. When we were done we came out of the mall around eight pm with tons of new stuff for Bella and ourselves. We got home and on the way Bella fell asleep. So I got her out of her baby seat and carried her to her room. I changed her into her night clothes without waking her up. I laid her in her bed and hum her song to her.

Thanksgiving Day:

Alice's P.O.V.

Well today is Thanksgiving Day. We did all the shopping we had to do. We got a big turkey for the humans and mom and Rose are cooking pies and the other stuff that goes with the turkey. It all smells gross to me so I am trying to stay away from it. I am in the living room setting stuff up for the kids that are coming. They are all one or two and I see stuff going well so far. We bought toys for the boys so they don't have to play with girl toys. I have to house decorated up for today and it all looks so beautiful. Instead of the other guest trying to find our home I am sending Jazz and Em in limousines to pick them up. They are going to love that. So now all I have to do is keep Bella entertained while we wait for our guest to show up.

Its just nine am so we have plenty of time. I saw Bella playing with some of the new toys that we got her and for the other two girls. Bella has been upset for the past two weeks because she has not been able to walk and all she wants to do is walk and run. She can crawl but it causes her pain sometimes so if she wants to go somewhere she just reach for whoever is closer and point to where she wants to go. I decided to teach Bella to talk some today. So I went to where she was on the floor and sat in front of her.

"Hey little sis, you want to learn to talk some today?" I asked her.

She nodded her little head and so I started.

"Okay Bella, lets see say Kitchen," I told her.

"Kitshen," she said.

"No Bella, Kit-chen," I corrected her.

"Kitchen," she said

"Yes Bella Kitchen," I told her and clapped witch made her laugh.

We sat in the floor for awhile and she learned how to say, bedroom, Kitchen, bathroom, outside, and inside. I looked at the time even tho I don't have to it was going on noon and lunch/diner will be at one.

"Jasper and Em, please get ready. The limo will be here in just a bit to pick you two up soon," I told them.

They took off upstairs to get ready then. I then took Bella, Rose and mom to my room after Jazz got ready and helped them get ready. I had Bella in a blue dress and her hair put up in a loose pony tail. She looked beautiful. I help mom and Rose with their hairs and they did my hair. After we were all ready even dad and Edward we all went downstairs and waited for our guest. Just the only thing about having humans over is that we will have to eat, not much but still gross. We sat the table with chairs and high chairs for the kids then we talked. Rose was not happy having humans in our home but she just has to deal with it, its for Bella and her parents friends.

It was going on one when the limousines pulled up and we all waited in the living room to welcome our guest. Dad opened the door, then Jasper and Em came in then our guest, with their babies. Dad introduced us to them us and Bella. We found out the babies names. They are Angela, Jessica, Mike and Eric. They were so cute, to bad Bella won't grow up with them. She will start kindergarten with them and even first grade but we will have to move soon after that.

"Hello, and welcome to our home. If everyone is ready diner is done. Just follow me and my family and we will show you where to sit," dad told everyone.

So we all got up and went into the dinning room, then we all sat down. We served ourselves and dad led us into prayer. After that everyone started to eat then. I just pushed my food to the side and took little bites here and there, so did my family. Mom was feeding Bella so not to get her dress messed up to bad. After an hour of eating we all went into the living room again. We sat the kids on the floor and let them play while us adults talked. We told them that Bella is doing good other than being clumsy and falling and breaking her leg. We found out that all the kids were one going on two soon. Bella is the youngest out of all of them. As us adults were talking I saw Mike scoot closer to Bella and put his arm around her and when he did this Bella gave him a dirty look and pushed his arm off of him. He did it again and this time Bella punched him right in the nose. We all had to keep from laughing when she did that. Mom got onto Bella for doing that and Mike just smiled.

Well after watching two football games and getting to know the kids and their parents better it was getting late, it was going on seven. So we thanked our guest for coming and sent a lot of food home with them. Then they all left, the limo driver took all of them home and he went home. After cleaning up the kitchen and the house we all sat down relived that nothing happened. I knew everyone was watching Jasper because he is new to our diet but he did very well. After an hour of talking and playing games it was time for Bella to get a bath and go to bed. It was mine and Jasper turn so I picked her up and we went to our bathroom. We gave her a bath, put her in her night clothes and sang a light song to her. Not long after that she fell asleep. We smiled and left her room. We walked downstairs and told the family goodnight and that we will see them tomorrow in the morning. Bella's surgery was set for nine am in the morning. So we all went to our rooms while Edward stayed with Bella.

Then next morning:

Edward's P.O.V

Well it the day after Thanksgiving and today is Bella's surgery on her leg. I know she will be just fine its just she going to be in pain and I don't like seeing her in pain. It was just seven am but we had to have her there at eight am so they could get her ready. She is going to have to stay in the hospital three days then no moving around to much at home so her leg can set the way its suppose to. Me and Alice packed her bag of diapers and stuff for her stay in the hospital. Then it was time for her to wake up. I went in to wake her and she did not like to be woken up that early. She cried some and when she saw it was me she smiled. I love the fact that she likes me a lot. Rose came in and helped me get her ready then we went downstairs. Everything was ready then, so we all left. I rode with mom and dad; Rose, Em, Alice and Jazz rode in my car then we left the house.

When we got to the hospital Bella started to get upset because she knew what was going on. I held on to her and she held on to me like there was no tomorrow. Dad told the family to wait in the waiting room while me and dad helped get her ready. Dad signed papers while I held a very upset Bella. After all of that they took us to the nursery and into her own room. I had to put her in a gown because she would start to cry when one of the nurses would come near her. Then it was time for the really hard part the IV. I sat Bella in my lap then and talked to her like she was an adult and not a baby.

"Bella honey, they are going to have to put a needle in your arm with a tube. That is going to give you some medicine that will help you sleep and when you wake up we all will be here waiting for you. So honey, I am going to hold you but you are going to cry when they poke you in the arm with this needle. You can scream and cry just try and be still so they don't mess up OK sweetheart?" I told her and asked her.

She had tears in her eyes but she nodded her head. I then looked at the nurses and they came near to her.

"No plesss, I want my daddy to do it," she told them though tears.

They looked at dad and they handed him the stuff to do it with. He then put his cold hand on her arm where he was going to poke her to numb it up some then he said "Sorry" and put the needle in. Bella cried but did not fight or move one bit. After dad had it in place he added a board and wrapped her arm up so she don't try and pull the IV out. After that it was time for her to go. The family came in gave her kisses and hugs and told her we will be waiting. She cried some but just smiled at us to. They wheeled her away and dad followed, he was going to stay with her until she was asleep then come back to us.

We all went back into the waiting room then and waited for dad to rejoin us. Not long he was with us and told us that it will be four hours before they will be done then they will have her in recovery for an hour then we can go see her just a few at a time. So we sat around talking and waiting like that was just horrible. I mean for humans time means nothing but if your a vampire time seems to take forever when you are waiting for something. Four hours later the doctor came and talked to us.

"Cullen family, Bella came out just fine. We had to put in two plates with two screws in each. We removed the shard and well she is going to be well. You can see her in just an hour and she will be asleep. We are going to keep her asleep for the rest of the day then wake her in the morning. So thanks for letting me help you all with her," the doctor told us.

We all smiled then. We waited an hour and we were allowed to see her three at a time. So mom, dad, and Rose went to see her first. Not long after that they came and got me, Alice, Jasper and Em, yeah we went in four at a time oh well. When I saw Bella she looked so small in that bed but she was still here with us and I knew she would be with us for a very long time.
