There wasn't enough hours in the day. Eva sat in her room alone in her pajamas with wrapping paper and presents strewn across her floor. She had been at it for a good portion of the day trying to get gifts wrapped before tonight. Tonight was their Christmas party. The guys were outside decorating the house while the the girls were downstairs getting the inside ready. Jakob and Bella's father was coming over later for the party so Esme was in the kitchen with Rennesme making various food items to feed everyone. The house was in full on Christmas mode and everyone was helping out. Eva only got out of it with the reason that she ha gifts to wrap.
Across her floor was various sized gifts wrapped with perfection. Her family was the picture of perfection and Eva was constantly trying to live up to that image. Sometimes she felt like she fell just short but she still tried. With a sigh, Eva affixed the bow atop her last gift. It was a small gift box that fit in the palm of her hand. This one was special. It was for her brother, Edward. She spent so much time finding just the right gift and when she had seen it she knew it was perfect.
Carefully, Eva set it to the side on her bed as Alice waltzed in with a bag of stuff and what looked like a wardrobe bag. " I bought you a dress and shoes for tonight. There is jewelry in the bag and hair clips to go with it." She poke as she set the things down on her bed. "Do you want me to bring these down for you?" She asked spying the gifts on the floor. "Yes please. Thank you. Eva nodded before snatching up Edward's gift. Eva wanted to give this to him herself. "I will be down in a bit after I take a shower and dress." She spoke with a smile. Alice nodded and left the room with a click of the door.
Alone, Eva walked to the bed and set the gift back down and looked at the things Alice brought in. There was no doubt that whatever Alice brought her was pretty. She had a great sense of style. Eva wasn't worried about that. It was the shoes. Eva didn't wear heels. Ever. And taking the lid off the shoe box confirmed her fears. Indeed it was heels. The brunette sighed as she set the lid down. This was going to be fun.
Silently Eva strode out of her room and to the bathroom right across the hall. She turned the water on to the hottest she could stand before getting in and showering slowly. The scent of her soaps filled the room and helped her to relax. She loved the lavender smell. Finally, satisfied with how clean she was she got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around herself before returning to her room. She dried off quickly and blow dried her hair. Carefully, she pulled out the dress and put it on after applying make up. Then she pulled her hair half way up securing it with the diamond hair pins Alice had thrown in with the jewelry. The rest of her hair she curled so it hung in soft spirals down her back. Her make up was easy to do and was more of a natural tone, not wanting to over do it. The last step was the jewelry and shoes. She quickly donned the last of her sparkling attire and walked across the hard wood floor to put on her shoes.
Finally finished she grabbed Edward's gift and walked out her door. Eva stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at the decorations. It was so beautiful. They really had outdone herself. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It warmed her heart. She loved her family so much.

Edward had been looking forward to this night all week. He prepared for it. Bella was always playing Christmas music at their home and he knew the fun was just starting. He was already at the Cullen's Family Home. Helping his brothers and Jake decorate outside. They were just about done with everything. He walked in to the house and joined Bella as he noticed she was standing under the mistle toe. With a smirk on her face as her eyes fell right on him. He blushed and smiled as he walked over to his beautiful wife and gave her a deep kiss. "Get a room..." Emmett said jokingly as he walked past them... Edward just slapped Emmets side laughing...While Bella blushed at that comment..."We have one smart guy..." She said chuckling...Edward laughed as she said that. And looked up at the top of the stairs as he saw his baby sister in a beautiful party dress and heels...It was actually something he knew Eva hated wearing. He hated the dress his daughter was wearing. But Bella won out on that fight. She made Edward realize that Nessie wasn't a little girl anymore. That she was growing up. And that she was a beautiful young lady. That came from both parents.
Bella wandered into the kitchen to help her daughter with the cooking. As Edward turned his attention back to his baby sister and smiled right her...."You can do it. Take your time..." He said speaking to his his sisters head. As he watched her closely and encouraged her. As he kept looking at her. He already had all his presents under the tree. The tree itself was massive! The three Cullen sons picked it out. And Esme had a time getting the place all tidy again with the other girls help of course. But the moments they had all together as a family was amazing that's what Esme loved the most. The Cullen house hold had Christmas music playing all over the house. Even in the rooms that weren't really needed by vampires at least. Rosalie walked by Edward and saw Eva. She wanted to see her baby sister come down the stairs unscathed. She wasn't cruel all the time. She loved Eva. She was just a bit hesitant at times. But not tonight....Rosalie was a good sister to Eva though. No one messed with her. So this is kinda like a big sister who takes up for her human sister at any cost.

It wasn't everyday that the Cullens had a party. But when they did, they sure knew how to throw one. Nessie had called Jacob earlier that day and asked if he would invite the pack. He had and from what she understood they all were coming. This had made her grandma so happy. She loved it when the house was full of young vibrant people. And boy was the group they had coming in the house vibrant. between the pack and the family everyone had their own personalities and they all meshed and clashed at the same time. It was so amusing to see how things turned out. It was like a giant petri dish.
Nessie walked around the counter, her heels clacking on the tile hardwood floor. With each step the feathers on her dress swayed back and forth. It made it look like she was shimmeying almost. She knew her dad hated her wearing stuff like this, but she was a grown woman now and she wanted to look nice for Jacob. He had already voiced his love for her outfit already. Nessie grabbed a knife and started cutting up some fruit and veggies for some party platters. She could feel Jacob move to stand behind er even before his hands wrapped around her waist in a backwards hug. "Careful" was all he spoke before kissing the back of her head. He was so sweet. She just smiled and went on cutting. This was nice, having the family together and the people you care about all under the same roof. She wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Eva sighed. She watched everyone moving around. They weren't paying her any attention, which was good. She didn't want to bring undo attention to herself when or if she fell down the stairs. She was far from talented walking in heels. She bit her bottom lip as she looked around the room before her eyes fell on Edward. He gave her that smile that made her feel confident and spoke those simple words into her head. He believed in her and that was all that mattered. And then Rosalie spotted her and started watching. Great. What was it? Her wedding day? It wasn't like she was headed off to her first ball. She really didn't like it when people payed extra attention to her. She actually preferred the background. But being the only human in the family meant she was in the spotlight. All of her experiences she would never get again. And that was probably why they all liked to sit there and watch her do everything.
With a deep breathe in, Eva grabbed the railing with a strong grip and pulled the little gift box to her chest. Slowly she descended the stairs, one step at a time. Her legs felt a little shaky and her heart felt like it was going to beat right out of her chest. She tried to focus on moving gracefully down the steps and making it in one piece. The background music filled her ears and she used that to drown out all the other voices around them. She pretended her brother was the only one there. He wouldn't laugh at her if she fell. He was the sweet one. He never laughed at her.
And doing all of that actually helped. She had made it down almost the whole flight of stairs. She breathed a sigh of relief with slight smile. And that's when she slipped up. She thought she was safe and then she stumbled on the last step. She hoped no one would catch onto it. Her hand tightened on the banister ensuring she wouldn't completely fall. Eva did not want to bust her face on the floor. Not tonight.

Edward smiled as he continued looking at his baby sister. He knew she hated high heels. Why Alice made her wear them was beyond him. Rosalie gave a very hopeful look at her baby sister. Hoping she could make it this time. Rosalie kept thinking if she knew Alice was gonna pull this on Eva, then she'd teach her baby sister how to walk in them. Edward meanwhile never let his eyes leave his sisters. He knew she could do this. And that she was gonna be alright. But as Eva go to the bottom of the steps Edward noticed the slip and he flashed over instantly and took her hand. The last thing he knew Eva wanted was to make a big scene all about her. He wasn't about to let her fall either. That's the kind of brother he was. He never let her fall out. He didn't have much to worry with Bella now that she was a vampire herself. So having Eva in his life was a blessing for him. He needed to have a void filled. And Eva did just that. "Merry Christmas little sister." He said smiling at her the entire time.
Rosalie smiled as Edward took action and walked away from them to join the women in the kitchen. Edward was smiling to tonight. He had good reason to. He loved Christmas so much. And his face simply glowed. He was a family man now with his own family to protect and keep them happy. But he loved every single one of these people. And when the wolves arrived to join in he was more happy than ever! Jacob was a great man. And of course Edward was slightly edgy about his him imprinting on his daughter. But he couldn't do anything about that. Tonight he wasn't gonna worry about at all. He wanted everyone to have a great time. If his heart wasn't stone, it would be going a million miles an hour. He knew some of the festivities Esme had planned. And one dance with Eva was what he really wanted. He looked into Eva's eyes. "You look beautiful." He told her while smiling at her. Bella watched as she smiled from the door as she leaned against the wall...She knew how close Edward was with Eva. And she loved it. He wanted this. And Bella knew it....

Eva smiled a shaky smile as Edward flew to her side. In an instant her hand was just his and she felt safe. A slight rose color crept up on her cheeks. She wished she could do this on her own. Why couldn't she just learn to walk in these god forsaken shoes? Why do women torture themselves with them? So many questions bounced around in her head but she tried to push them away. This wasn't the time to question the world. She needed to stay happy and upbeat for the party. She was determined to have fun. School was out for two weeks and she was going to enjoy it.
"And a very merry Christmas to you to." She spoke with a smile. Her eyes lit up when she said she looked pretty. She loved hearing it but didn't think it was true half the time. She was more humble than that. And then she remembered the little box with a bow that was still in her hand. "Oh I got you something." She spoke softly as she handed it to him. The light made the metallic wrapping paper shine. She hoped he liked it. She spent so much time trying to make sure she got the perfect gift for her brother. And she knew he would be nice and say he liked it but she hoped he really would.

Edward gave her a reassuring smile. That he wouldn't let her fall. He let go when he knew she was steady enough. And smiled brighter when she handed him his gift. And he took it with great pleasure and a grin on his face. He opened it at once and was stunned at what it was. He loved and put it on his wrist as soon as he could! Which was right then. "I love it!" He told her as he gave a soft hug. He really loved it! He was a fan of all kinds of music. And Eva knew that. He heard her thoughts as well. But said nothing about them. He didn't want this night to turn into a bad and depressing night for her. It was Christmas Eve after all. And he wanted to make sure she enjoyed every single bit. His eyes lit up when hers did. So that was a very good sign. He wasn't troubled by anything. He was truly a happy man. If only his real parents had gotten Eva. Oh well they are together now. So all was well and good. And he would make sure it stayed that way.

Eva smiled softly, her cheeks taking on a light pink color from the blush that had crept up. She had been so nervous he wouldn't like it. But of course he never would admit the fact that he didn't like it. No he would be polite to her and say he liked it. But he seemed genuine about it so she took it as he really did like it. Which was so amazing considering the time she spent trying to pick out the perfect gift for him. She highly valued his opinion. He was her brother, he twin for all intents and purposes. "Oh, I wanted to ask you something." She spoke softly. She put her hand into the crook of his arm and lead him over to the side. She knew getting farther from her family wouldn't keep them from hearing but she hoped they wouldn't eavesdrop seeing that she was trying to have a little privacy. "I know this is the last thing you expect me to ask you." She started. She took a breath to steady herself. "But I was wondering, would you maybe teach me to drive? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to or have the time. I just thought that if I could drive myself everywhere then I won't be such a burden. I know Nessie is probably tired of taking me to and from school by now." She spoke in a rush. Her cheeks were a nice pink blush by the end of her speech. She hoped he wouldn't mind doing it. It was odd for her to ask for this. What with her fear of vehicles. But she hoped she could get over it for the sake of being more independent.

Nessie had just finished cutting when she noticed her Aunt Eva had joined them downstairs. That was perfect. Everyone was here. She had been her Aunt Alice's right hand planning the night out. It was going to be so much fun. There was food and drinks and Christmas music playing. The house was lit up outside and the inside was more decorated than the white house. They had worked hard on the evening and was intent on everything going smoothly. "Oh Jacob, try this." She spoke excitedly as he pretty much shoved a little pastry into his mouth. "Isn't it amazing?" She was bubbling. She just loved Christmas. It was such a magical time of year. The snow and the lights and just the smells were so amazing. She couldn't help but be happy. It was the best holiday in her opinion. The best time of year. Everyone is cheerful and happy. Not a care in the world. It really was nice.

Jacob walked over to Nessie when she asked him to try a sample of food he did. "Mm perfection!" He told her happily as he gave her a hug and then pulled out a small box that was wrapped. "Merry Christmas." He said as he placed the small box in her hand. He hoped she would like it since he made it for her. He couldn't afford luxury gifts so he made everyone their gifts. He was nervous. It was a simple beaded necklace that were Indigo blue and green. But he knew she would say it was nice or beautiful. He just had to see if she really loved it from the bottom of her heart. He waited on her to open the gift nervously. As he was shaking in his shoes. "I hope you like it." He told her nervously as he looked at his feet. He loved her and he wanted to make her happy with a special gift he made for her. And he loved her so much. He was so glad he was able to be with her and that Edward has eased up on him about it. At least Edward knew about imprinting. Jacob never really understood it either. But he caught on when he met Nessie for the first time....
Edward was stunned at what came next. She wanted to learn to drive? Really? "You want to learn to drive? Are you sure? I mean considering the past honey? I'm all for it. But I don't want to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. Have you talked Carlisle and Esme about this yet? I just want to make sure you are ready. As for Nessie she says all the time what a joy it is for her to have you as a companion rider on the way to school. You two get along so well. It's easy for her to talk to you. I'm just her old man. She rarely comes to me for advice. She'll start the evenings off guess what me and Eva did today? She's always talking about you.." He told her. But if this was what she really wanted, how could he say no to her? She was asking him and no one else for the help and he was honored that she asked him. "I'd be honored to teach you. Whenever you're ready. I'm ready." He finished. Knowing her mind was made up since he read it just then.

Eva was prepared for him to say no. And from how he had started off his speech she expected him to say no. Sure he had her best interests at heart. Heck, up until now she had needed to medicate herself just to get into a vehicle. The accident that had killed her parents had traumatized her to no end. She would still have nightmares about it even though it had been a couple of years. But this was something that she wanted to do. She couldn't keep living in fear and she couldn't let people take care of her for the rest of her life. "If you don't want to, I understand. I'm sure someone else would." She replied. Eva wouldn't force him to do it. Maybe one of her other siblings would do it. but then he did a one eighty and said he would. Her eyes lit up with a smile. "Really? You will?" She asked him excitedly. She was so excited. It was going to be amazing being able to do things for herself.

Nessie was enjoying herself. She had her family and Jacob all under one roof. It was like a dream. She couldn't imagine having things any other way. A smile graced her lips when he said the food was good. He always loved her cooking. Jacob had always been easily pleased. Never minded doing anything she wanted to, even seemed to enjoy it. Sometimes it felt a tad odd but she knew it was the imprint that was partially to blame. But she honestly didn't mind much.
He handed her a small box and Nessie smiled. "Jacob you didn't have to get me anything." She spoke sweetly before opening the box. "Oh it's beautiful!" She then exclaimed. She loved the gifts he made her. They were so sweet and personal. And besides the fact that homemade gifts were always the best. "I got you something too." She smiled. "It's in the garage." She whispered in his ear. She remembered the trip to Seattle. It had been a day trip and she had went for something specific. A gift for Jacob. She had seen it and knew it was perfect. He had been driving that beat up motorcycle her mom had given him for as long as she could remember and now it was on its last legs. So when she had seen the shiny red new one she knew it was perfect for him. And now it sat in her grandparents garage with a big red bow attached to the headlight just waiting for him to find it.
