Forever Perfect

Chapter 18

Bella's POV

I gently shook Renesmee, waking her up. She groaned and turned over.

"Renesmee, do you know what day it is?" I grinned. The realisation hit her and she gasped, before a huge grin burst out.

"It's Christmas Eve!" She whispered, jumping out of bed and running into her closet to find clothes. I followed and watched as she picked out a wooly maroon jumper and jeans. I then went downstairs to let her get ready, greeting Edward in the hallway.

"Are you sure we're making the right decision? And will it be enough for her?" He asked, pulling me into his arms.

"Yes, she deserves this after all she's been through. Plus she had other presents from family and smaller ones from us."

"Yeah, I'm sorry. You're right. Alice will see if anything bad is going to happen anyway." I nodded and smiled, and then went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Nessie. Jake was visiting his family for Christmas. Once the bacon sandwich was ready I called Renesmee. She skipped down the stairs several seconds later, and ran into the room to begin her food. Edward and I sat down and began talking about the plans for Christmas.

"So Renesmee, we are going to stay with Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esmee for Christmas! We can also visit Jake and his family too if you like."

"Yes! Oh, thank you mummy! I can't wait!" She smiled, finishing her sandwich. We were all going last-minute Christmas shopping in the nearest mall today. Once we were all ready, we set off in the car.
----------------------------------------------
I hummed along to the classical music as we pulled up at the mall. Renesmee practically dragged me into an equestrian shop and pointed out a brown, detailed saddle whilst Edward parked the car.
"It would look so pretty on Luna!" She grinned.
"Yes, it would. Shall we get it for her as a Christmas present?"
"Ooooh, yes! Wait, who's looking after her whilst we are away?" Renesmee asked, her excited expression turning to a panicked one.
"Don't worry, she is going to stay at Sally's. We can give Luna the present when we get back. Oh, that reminds me-we should get Sally a present as well. What do you think she would like?"
"To be honest, I think she would like some wine and chocolate after all the stress we've given her!" Edward smiled, joining us.
"Great idea! Why don't you go and get that?" I hinted. We needed to buy him a present.
"Okay," he smirked, taking the hint. He walked in the opposite direction to us.
"What are you getting for daddy?" Renesmee asked sweetly. She had already written and recorded songs, and put them into an album for him.
"I don't know yet. Do you have any ideas?"
"Hmmmm....I know! A holiday!"
"That's actually not a bad idea!" I exclaimed, taking Renesmee to the travel agents.
"Right? Where shall we go?" I pondered, examining the range of magazines on the wall of the travel agents.
"England! Oh, I'd love to go there!" Renesmee grinned, staring up at me with her hopeful brown eyes.
"Yes, okay. It would be good to get a break. Um, excuse me, could we book a holiday?" I asked the nearest lady in smart uniform. Her dirty blonde hair was pulled into a bun, and her face was perfectly powdered with bright red lipstick to finish the look, matching the red scarf around her neck.
"Of course. Please come and sit down here. So where would you like to go?" She asked, taking a seat opposite us at a desk.
"Well we were thinking England-maybe a two bedroom apartment in London somewhere?"
"Ah yes. Any price preferences?" She asked, typing something into her computer.
"No, I don't think so."
"Okay... So we have a two bedroom penthouse suite in a five star hotel in the center of London."
"That sounds perfect!"
After all of the money and travel details were sorted out, we took the flight tickets I would be wrapping up and left the shop. I decided to text Edward so we could meet up again.
Where are you? x
He replied: Outside Aeropostale x
Okay meet you there in a minute x I finished. Once we were all together again we found a small cosy coffee shop where I ordered a hot chocolate for Renesmee. We spent an extra hour in the mall and bought various presents for Edward's siblings and parents, Charlie, Sue, my mom, Jake, Billy and all the other werewolves. The drive home was not as quiet as before- Renesmee was practically bouncing out of her seat in excitement of tomorrow. We were leaving tonight (all the other presents were already at Carlisle and Esmee's) so as soon as we got home Rensmee followed me upstairs to pack. I left her to pack herself and went into mine and Edward's room. After packing for the both of us and checking Renesmee had included everything I picked up my suitcase, Edward's suitcase and the one that was full of the presents we had bought today, and met Edward on the drive where I loaded them into the spacious boot of the car. After checking everything was locked up we attached the horse trailer to the back of the car again and ushered Luna inside. The quick trip to Sally's didn't take long, and we were back in the car, except this time one horse down, ten minutes later. After half an hour of me talking to Edward in the front and Renesmee listening to music on her iPod in the back, we pulled up to the familiar driveway and met six familiar faces.
