A/N: I just wanted to clear something up. The last two chapters take place on Christmas Eve which is December 24th. This chapter takes place on Christmas Day which is on December 25th.

Anam, you wanted some more interactions between Edward and Riley, so you'll get some. ;)

Also, in case you were wondering, Riley is 2 years old at this point. Since I've never spent a lot of time around small children, I'm not really sure what their vocabulary skills are like, so if I end up making him sound older, I'm sorry. You'll just have to bear with me.

Enjoy!

Chapter 27. Presents, Presents, and More Presents

The next morning, I groaned as I was woken up by Riley shouting, "Mommy! Daddy! Wake up!"

I felt Edward move behind me, so I knew he was already awake. He leaned over and whispered into my ear. "Take your time getting waking up. I'll go see what he needs." He kissed me on the cheek and got up to check on Riley.

I could tell it was still early in the morning and I all I wanted to do was sleep in. I turned over and closed my eyes to go back to sleep when I heard Riley in the doorway. "She's sleeping." he whispered to Edward.

"Do you think we should wake her up?" Edward whispered back.

Riley giggled. "Yeah." he said quietly.

"Then go wake her up." suggested Edward.

"Okay." Riley said excitedly. I heard his little footsteps run across the floor and stop. "I can't reach."

"I'll help you." Edward helped Riley climb onto the bed. "There you go. Now go wake her up." I just knew Edward was smiling because he knew that I was pretending to sleep.

I felt Riley crawl across the bed and shake my shoulder. "Mommy?" he said softly. When I didn't move, he tried again. "Mommy? Wake up!" he said a little louder. I still didn't move. I felt him turn around towards Edward. "Why won't she wake up?" asked Riley.

"I don't know. Maybe you should tickle her." Edward suggested.

Riley turned towards me again, but just as touched me, I sat up and grabbed him, and began to tickle him instead. His laughter filled the room. It was one of my most favorite sounds in the world.

Not wanting to miss out on the fun, Edward soon joined us on the bed and we began to have a tickle war. By the time we were done, we were all breathing hard from laughing.

Once we calmed down, Riley asked, "Can we go open presents now?"

"Sure, let's go see what Santa brought you." I told him.

We made our way into the living room and Edward passed out the presents. Almost all of them were for Riley, but I was surprised when he handed me a small present.

"What's this?" I asked him.

"This, is my gift to you."

"You didn't have to get me anything, Edward."

"I know. I saw this and I just had to get it for you." He smiled at me and said, "Well, what are you waiting for? Open it."

I carefully unwrapped the small gift. Underneath the wrapping paper, was a small velvet box. It was too small for a ring, so I didn't know what it could be. Edward watched me intently as I opened the box.

I gasped. Inside the box was a beautiful silver charm bracelet that had a stunning crystal heart charm on it.

"Edward, this is so beautiful. It must have cost a fortune."

"You're worth every penny, and more." he said softly.

I felt tears form in my eyes and I leaned over and hugged him. "Thank you. I really love it." I gave him a kiss and asked him, "Can you help me put it on?"

"Of course, love."

After he put it on my wrist, I said, "I feel really bad now. I ordered your gift a few weeks ago, but it wasn't going to arrive in time for the holidays, so you'll have to wait until we get back to Chicago to get it."

He gave me another smile and told me, "Don't worry about it. It's fine. I don't mind waiting."

We turned our attention to Riley. He was picking up each gift and shaking it to see if he could figure out what was inside. After he had shaken each present, he began to open them up. We had gotten him some toys, clothes, and movies. He loved them all.

After we picked up all the wrapping paper off the floor, we got dressed and I made breakfast. Then we headed on over to my father's house.

When we got there, I got Riley out of the car and carried him, while Edward grabbed the presents we had gotten for Charlie. We knocked on the door and Charlie greeted us at the door.

"Hey guys. Come on in."

"Merry Christmas, Dad." I said.

"Merry Christmas, Chief Swan" greeted Edward.

"You can call me Charlie, Edward."

"Thanks." replied Edward.

I looked at Riley. "Riley say Merry Christmas to your grandpa."

Riley looked at my dad, and said shyly, "Merry Christmas, Grandpa."

Charlie's eyes lit up when Riley called him Grandpa. "Merry Christmas, Riley. You wanna open some more presents?" he said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Riley exclaimed.

We all headed into the living room and sat down while we passed out some more gifts. We let Riley go first since he was so excited. "Wait until you see what I got him. You'll get a real kick out of it." Charlie said with a smile.

And we did. Charlie had gotten Riley a little toy police kit. It had plastic handcuffs, a badge, and a little police hat in it. It was really cute. Riley really liked it.

Edward went next. My dad had gotten him some really nice notebooks for Edward to keep track of his ideas for writing in, and a really nice pen set to go along with it. Edward thanked him and then it was my turn.

I unwrapped my present to find a small box. Like the one Edward gave me earlier, this box was too small for a ring. I opened it up to find a necklace in it. The necklace had a little butterfly on it with a diamond in the middle.

It had belonged to my mother. I remember her telling me that one day it would be mine, and now it was.

I thanked my father and gave him a hug. I told him how much it meant to me.

We gave Charlie his present once I finished thanking him. Edward and I had bought him a brand new tackle box for all of his fishing gear. He told us how he had been needing a new one for a few years now, but was too busy to go out and get one.

We cleaned up the room and we had lunch. Charlie asked us when we planned on coming back to Forks after we left for Chicago and we talked about it for awhile.

We had to leave after we were finished because we needed to head over to the Cullen house, so we could get our gifts from everyone else. So we thanked each other all over again for our gifts and we said our goodbyes.

Then we headed to the Cullen house to open even more presents. I was beginning to think the gift giving would never end.
