Renesmee POV
It was that time again... Christmas. I was real excited this year because I was hosting it for everyone. Over the last couple months, well since September my family had been having a new house made. Since they only visited every so often now they didn't need a place so big, it still had a ground floor, first floor, second floor and an attic of course... Much smaller. I was cooking dinner there this year since It was bigger than my own house. I had a lot of people to feed too. Jacob of course, jett, annalee, nina, Eliza, embry, Rachel, Paul, Annabelle William, Sarah, Sam, Emily, Emma, luke, Kim, jared, Isaac, quil, Claire, Charlie, sue, Seth and skyler. Of course my family were going to be there too but they wouldn't be eating. Claire was due on the 30th December and is huge. She says she is ready to get it over with now, being pregnant is becoming a pain when you can hardly move. Eliza asked her mom and brother to come for Christmas too, she hadn't seen them and hardly spoken to them since June but they said no, apparently her father is still around. I had to get up extra early this morning to start preparing dinner and everyone was arriving around 12. Of course I'd seen all my babies before I left though. Jett and Eliza had stayed with us last night so we could all spend Christmas Eve together. And I'd made sure we were all up this morning to open presents together, it was great but I'll never forget the feeling of seeing them open there presents when they were little. I think annalee was hoping for a certain type of ring from embry but she didn't get it, I knew it wouldn't be long now, from what Jacob had told me, last month embry was just one more pay check from being able to afford the ring. Jacob offered to help him pay for it, but he refused saying he had to buy it for her, if he was going to be her husband he had to provide for her. Nina had arrived home almost a week ago and annalee was thrilled to have her home, she was pretty bored when everyone was busy, I offered her some work in the garage but she says the guys from the Rez who aren't in the pack freak her out with all there staring. There was auditions for a musical starting next year in January which would be on in port Angeles so she was going to audition for that, at least she'd have something to do. I put the turkey in the oven and set the timer and took off upstairs for a shower. I didn't get chance for one this morning as I was rushing around. After my shower I did my hair and got dressed just as my vampire family were arriving.
"Mom" I screamed and ran over to her.
"Oh sweetie I missed you" I was soon transferred from her arms to my dads.
"Hi daddy" I murmured into his chest.
"Hi darling" my grandparents, Carlisle and Esme followed them in, who I hadn't seen in almost a year.
"Oh honey, I've missed you so much" Esme said kissing my forehead.
"Where are those kiddies of yours" I smiled.
"Should be on there way up any minute now"
"I hope your keeping well sweetheart" Carlisle said hugging me.
"I am" Rosalie and emmett where next through the door.
"Hey kid" emmett picked me up in a huge bear hug and swung me around.
"Put me down" I giggled and aunt Rosalie hugged me tightly, for such a petite girl she had a hellish hug.
"Oh Renesmee, you have no idea how much I've missed you. I brought you and the girls something from every city we visited" I smiled.
"Thank you aunt rose"
"As did I" aunt Alice said coming In with uncle jasper.
"Oh I missed you guys" I gave them both a hug and they both kissed my forehead and cheek.
"We missed you too Renesmee" jasper told me smiling. It wasn't long after my little tribe arrived.
"Hello... Mom?" Jett called out as they walked in.
"Up hear" I said from the living room. They call came upstairs and were overjoyed to see the rest of there family.
"I haven't missed that smell at all" Rosalie said to Jacob before hugging him.
"Oh I missed you too blondie"
"Hey aunt rose. I smell the exact same" jett said smirking.
"Yes but your my nephew... Jacob is just... Jacob" everyone laughed and I kissed his cheek.
"Your my Jacob" he smiled and kissed my lips quickly before I went back to the kitchen to carry on preparing dinner. Once everyone else was here we started serving, we'd put a huge Christmas table in the living room for today so everyone could eat together. My family sat at the table too so they didn't seem un sociable and just to join in the conversation. We soon got onto Eliza and jetts wedding.
"So when do you to want to get hitched?" Paul asked.
"Next year maybe. Were in no huge rush, but we just want everything to be perfect" Eliza told him.
"Have you thought about bridesmaids?" Alice asked while she had her little note pad and pen out. She was obviously wanting to help them.
"Yes, I would like annalee and nina, Claire and my cousin Jemma who lives in port Angeles" Alice was scribbling stuff down as she spoke.
"And the best man? Groomsmen?" Alice asked looking at jett.
"Oh um.. I guess embry as my best man?"
"Oh thanks dude. Your totally mine too" annalee went wide eyed stairing at her plate, he shouldn't do that to her she's going to burst one day.
"And I guess, quil, Seth and uncle Paul as groomsmen" all the men smiled at jett, I figured he'd pick Paul, they were always good friends when he was growing up. After dinner we were all sat on the couches sharing stories as my dad playing the piano with annalee.
"Oh" Claire said holding her stomach.
"Claire?" Quil and annalee rushed over to her.
"That felt... Odd" she said rubbing her stomach.
"Like... Labour odd?"
"I don't know quil! I've never given birth before!" She snapped, making a few people snicker.
"Wow" she put her hands on her stomach again and Carlisle came over to her.
"Claire, would you mind if I took a look at you upstairs in my study? I have everything set up" she nodded.
"Can you guys come?" She said looking at quil and annalee. They both nodded and stood up, quil helped Claire oh and just as she stood her waters broke.
"Oh shit" she breathed.
"Claire, I think your in labour" Carlisle said.
"Well I didn't just pee myself!" She snapped again, he brushed it off and gestured towards the stairs for quil and annalee to help her. It had been a few hours now since Claire's waters broke, annalee kept coming downstairs to inform everyone how things were going. And we just kept hearing the odd scream coming from upstairs on Claire yelling at quil telling him to shut up or something. I totally got where she was coming from, Jacob and my father both got the back lash when I was in labour. Most of the kids had dropped and were sleeping on the couches. All the couples were just waiting around for some sort of news now. Things had been pretty quiet for a while now and annalee hadn't been downstairs in a while. I was just dozing in and out of sleep on Jacobs shoulder when quil came downstairs holding a tiny little baby in his arms.
"Everyone. I'd like you to meet Anna may ateara" everyone was awing at the sight of quil and his baby girl. Turns out she was born one minute after midnight so her birthday wasn't on Christmas Day, she Proberly be glad about that once she was older. My family were sticking around for a couple of weeks so they could catch up with us all, so I was glad about that. Claire, quil and Anna were sleeping at the Cullen house tonight and could go home tomorrow, so we all headed home after a hectic night. I finally climbed into bed with Jacob at twenty to two in the morning.
"Does that make you want more?" He asked with his face in my neck.
"More kids?"
"Mmhh"
"No not really. I figure we'll be getting grand kids soon anyways. Maybe in about fifty years we'll try again. But right now I'm enjoying my life with you and my grown up kiddies" I felt him smile against my skin.
"I totally agree baby" I cuddled more into him and kissed his chest.
"Go to sleep Jacob. I love you"
"I love you too sweetie" he murmured to me before we both fell into a blissful sleep.
Claire POV
"It's two thirty Claire, why don't you try and get some sleep" quil said from lying next to me In the make shift hospital bed.
"I will in a minute.. I just can't get over the fact she was inside me. I mean look how perfect she is" he sat up and smiled at me.
"She is isn't she. She looks just like you" I smiled.
"You think?"
"Yeah, she's going to be the double of her mommy"
"Wow... I'm a mom"
"Yep and I'm a dad... It's scary right?" I nodded.
"Yeah but it's exciting at the same time. This little baby depends on us, were going to love her unconditionally" he nodded.
"Your both my main priorities in life" I laid back down and he lay next to me.
"This is so surreal" I said staring at him.
"I know right, just feels like yesterday I was telling you I was in love with you" I giggled.
"One of the best days of my life"
"One of them?" I nodded.
"Today was the best. Giving birth to my daughter. Having you there with me and my best friend" he smiled gently
"And I'm sorry for yelling" I said smirking.
"It's ok baby, I think I'd yell too if I had to push someone out of me" I laughed lightly and curled Into him.
"Aren't you in pain?" He asked.
"I'm sure I am, but I can barely feel my legs I'm so pumped with pain killers. Tomorrow will be the tester" that made him laugh, he leaned down and kissed my lips softly.
"I'm so proud of you baby, I love you"
"I love you too" I said staring at him, I really did love him so much... So much it hurt sometimes, him and Anna where my whole world and some more. My perfect family were my everything.
