Bella had spent the last few hours watching Renesmee play and interact with the other members of the family. She was in awe at how developed a two day old child could be. She was intelligent and her gift...was astounding. She could communicate in her own special way by a single touch. Certainly inheriting that from her father. She looked at her family and smiled, so happy and content by all who surrounded her. Jasper still had the look of uneasy on his face. He wasn't sure if he should let his guard down and stop influencing her mood. He'd never ever seen a newborn act the way Bella did.
Edward sat next to her, his arm around her holding her close to him. Soon the room got quiet as the family with their "gifts" began to use unspoken conversations again. She looked between all of them "What now?" She asked wondering what was going on.

Giggling as she skipped into the room, Alice broke into a huge smile before looking at Edward "I'd like to go first please" She'd waited as Edward pondered over her question. He'd shook his head at first, but then reluctently gave in as he knew she would be relentless until she got her way. "It makes more sense if I give her mine first Edward." Gazing over at Bella she looked at her with her head cocked to the side for a moment " You didn't forget what today is, did you Bella?" her voice ringing with joy as she tried to contain her excitement.

She looked from Edward to Alice, then scanned the room seeing all of her family looking at her with smiles on their faces. Her mind began to race...today what was today. She'd been turned two days ago, her transformation completed today. Renesmee was born on the....what was the damn date. She sighed and shook her head. "I-I'm sorry, no. I really don't. What day is it?"

"Well, today is your nineteenth birthday Bella." Pulling her into her arms she hugged her tightly before whispering "I know how you are about gifts, but I think you might really like this one." Looking around at all the smiling faces of her family, everyone was a little apprehensive about how she might take it. "May I please show you?" Edward had nodded, finally seeing there was really no way around it. Esme, Emmet, Carlisle, Rosalie, and Jasper all became scarce. A dazzling smile broke across her face as her excitement bubbled over waiting to see if Bella would allow this gift to be.

Realization hit her and the dates began to make sense in her jumbled mind. Right...the 11th. Renesmee was born on September 11th, two days before her next human birthday. How ironic really. She let out a nervous laugh, that sounded more melodic now that she'd been changed. Nodding and feeling a little embarrassed at the forgetfulness she expressed she extended her hand palm up. "Sure, Alice. Papercuts no more, so let's have it." Although she was a little nervous at what it could be, Edward seemed content. His face gave no hint of how horrible or wonderful a gift could be. But by the looks of the rest of the Cullens, it must be something good.

"Wonderful!" Taking Bella's hand she gently pulled her through the door, Edward in tow she'd leapt across the river turning to see the beauty of one as Bella and Edward leapt in unison. "Bella, promise not to attack me?" Watching Bella's expression change wondering what on earth she must have meant she waited for her to nod before jumping onto Bella's back, holding her hands over eyes "I want it to be a surprise, she can't peak Edward. You're alright Bella, I promise not to let you hit any trees." laughter ringing through the forest.

She listened and shook her head as Rose picked Renesmee up and Alice took her hand pulling her out the door. "Wa--Edward!" She called back as he held her other hand with a smile, following Alice as she pulled Bella in tow. Alice leapt across the river as she and Edward followed. She gave a questioning glance at Edward as he shook his head with a chuckle. Alice stopped. She looked from Edward to Alice then next thing she knew, Alice was on her back covering her eyes. "Alice...What the...." With a smile on her face as Edward held her hand guiding her. "She listened to Alice's sing songy voice as they walked more. She could smell different things around her, hear the water rushing in the nearby river and hear birds and animals along the forest floor. "Where are we going? Are we there yet?" The smell of fresh earth and honeysuckle filled her nose as they stopped walking. Something sweet...Roses? It was almost as if her nose sent a vision of the reddest roses freshly planted in earth soil. Wow...talk about enhancement. The smells swirled in the air and into her nose as she turned her head in different directions taking it all in. A smile now on her face as she was getting antsy wondering what her surprise was.

"We're almost there Bella, just a little bit further" she smiled at Edward elated that it was almost time. She couldn't see clearly whether Bella would like it or not yet. Hopping off Bella's back with a little flip she gently placed the key in her palm. "Happy Birthday Bella, it's from all of us, but Esme decorated it. Emmet wanted to add another story and columns but Esme told him no, that you'd like this much better. It's amazing what you can rebuild in a week's time." Stepping back with a brilliant grin "The closet is my gift for you if you need help dressing, call me please." She paused for a moment when Bella didn't say anything, she still couldn't read whether she like it or not "Do you like it Bella? It's all yours for the three of you, so that you can be a family in your own home, we just couldn't bare the thought of you too far away." Attachments:

Suddenly Alice was off of her back and she felt something enter her palm. Looking down to see a golden key with a pink ribbon attached to the tip. She turned her glance to the right as Alice continued to talk about how it was from all of them. A gasp escaped her lips, as her mouth parted slightly, taking in the beautiful little cottage. It had Gray stone with wooden shingles, the honeysuckle she smelled before growing up over the little archway over the small white door, roses were freshly planted all around the front. It was a simple little stone cottage, but she absolutely loved it. Forgetting her words for a moment as Alice seemed to get nervous that she didn't like it.
"Alice...it's....it's." She couldn't think of the words. Feeling a little overwhelmed by it all, but so very very excited and happy. They had their own little place, not too far from the main house but somewhere that was theirs. "I love it!" She exclaimed as she looked to Edward, then back to Alice. "I love it! It's...perfect!" Taking Alice's hand as she pulled her into a hug, trying not to squeeze too tight. "Please tell everyone I loved it! Tell Esme thank you, and I...just...oh Alice!" She couldn't wait to explore the house with Edward, but a look of concern crossed her face. "Renesmee...should we go get her?"

Hugging Bella tight, Alice bubbled with euphoric glee over her love of their gift. "I promise to let everyone know how much you loved it!" Her heart shone in the moonlight every bit as bright as the dazzling smile her wore over her dearest sister's happiness. Calming her worry over Nessie "No, she's fast asleep." She noted the look of curiosity that crossed Bella's features "don't worry Bella, she's fine. She sleeps every night through the night, either in Rosalie's or Jacob's arms. I promise she will not wake before morning." Turning to leave she pressed one more key into Bella's hand "this is the key to your closet. Your other gift besides the cottage is the gift of time ~ alone with Edward. Goodnight love you!" calling over her shoulder as the wind carried her back to the main house where Jasper's arms awaited her, and where she ached to be. Grinning with a wicked thought, it's been quite sometime since she'd kept Jasper up into the wee hours of the morning with their quiet passionate lovemaking. She couldn't wait to see the smile of delight on Bella's face tomorrow morning when she'd be back to see them again. Their first night together since her transformation, she had to wonder if the cottage would still be standing in the morning, she saw the radiant glow that emanated from Bella in the early morning hours, yes the cottage would still be standing. She also saw Emmett laughing and picking upon the couple without mercy, as he and Rosalie had smashed many a home in their first decade together. She and Jasper didn't display as much public affection, but behind closed doors, no one knew the heights of their passion filled nights.

Edward watched as Bella's face lit up with joyous glee as she had gracefully accepted the cottage. As he vividly remembered her past acceptance of gifts from not only his family, but also her own. Bella had given him the most precious gift that could ever be given, Renesmee. His family had been careful with their thinking around him, trying to keep their thoughts silent when around him. But when it came to Alice in particular, she could be a very devious pixie when she was pushed to the limit when required.
Edward walked up behind Bella and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, his hands clasping together by her naval. His chin rested on the shallow on shoulder, a content smile that he could not hide
"Welcome home Bella"

As Alice flitted off into the other direction she shook her head looking back to the cottage. She was so happy, feeling like she'd never felt before. Edward wrapped his arms around her waist as she closed her eyes and smiled. Feeling his breathe on her ear, and hearing his sweet sounding voice that was like music to her ears "Welcome home, Bella." She let out a small "hmph" sound with a smile as she opened her crimson eyes and sighed. "Home...ours...all ours." She placed her hands on his and gave a small squeeze. She couldn't be more happier at this moment, as she felt the ping of desire run through her body. "Can we go look inside?" She asked meekly and excited about what the inside looked like.

"Can we go look inside?" she smiled, a smile that would capture his full attention.
He weaved his hands from around her waist, and intertwined their hands together in a loving gesture. Raising her hand gently to his pale pink lips, he laid a soft kiss onto her soft cool skin, skin that was now the same temperature as his own.
"Let's go home" a bright smile that crept across his face.
The dirt and rocks crunched beneath their weight as they both began to make their way towards the cottage door. The cottage was both homely and natural, things that reminded him of Bella. The perfect home for their family.
Now stood just before the front door, he turned to smile at her again. His arms swooped down to pull her into her arms as he cradled her close to his chest.
"I'm if nothing but traditional"
He said as he reached down to turn the door handle, the door swayed open to reveal their new home.

Bella smiled as they proceeded to get closer to the cottage door. New smells and scents all around her. He turned to hold her close and kiss her knuckles as she felt his skin, the same temperature now. It was all so different, but a good different. She'd never expected to feel this way...not so soon, not now. The next thing she knew, he'd swooped her up into his arms as she held one arm around his shoulders, and the other placed on his chest as she kissed his lips. "I can get used to traditional" She teased. Edward was old fashioned, and it was something that made him....him. The door opened to reveal the living room as he crossed the threshold and gently placed her down to explore their new home. It's a simple little stone cottage, with only a few rooms but so perfect for their little family. The living room was decorated with different period piece chairs, but it all went together somehow. The ceiling, wooden beams and rafters that she loved the look of. Closing her eyes to smell all the things in the room, she could smell the sawdust and fresh paint. There was a little fireplace made of stone in the corner of the room, next to bookshelves that already had books on them. From the distance she could make out each title, using her new eyes. It was all her favorites. She turned and walked around the room touching the paintings on the wall. She recognized them. They were paintings from the main house she'd always adored. It looked great hanging there too. As she walked through the house she saw a room and entered. It just had hardwood floors, nothing else. Edward explained that Esme wanted Bella to be able to decorate that room for Nessie. She smiled thinking of things to do to it. As she held his hand and explored more. She walked down a little hall and peeked in a room. It made her bring her hands to her mouth in awe. It was the replica of the room they stayed in on Isle Esme. And it was the color of the beach. The floorboards were the color of the sand, the bed- big and white, with white gossimer fabric that billows, the wall was painted the blue of the sky. She looked around and gasped, "Oh...Edward!" She looked to him and was at a loss for words as she touched the soft comforter on the bed. Attachments:

Esme was well known to have such a talent when it came to being so decorative when it came to Bella, it would have seemed that she had the unique skill to see inside someone's head. All Edward could do was stand and watch as Bella walked through their new home almost in a trance, her face full of emotions that had no words describe how she was feeling, if only he could see inside her head for just a moment, but yet as a vampire that was still not too be.
The bedroom was the exact of the one that they had shared their first night as man and wife on Isle Esme. A memory that would he would never forget, as he and Bella had come together.
"Esme has her ways of knowing what you like, sometimes better than I do" he chuckled as he steadily walked over towards her, their eyes connecting as a fiery blaze hid beneath her crimson red eyes.
