Santa Baby 7

“Everyone come out and help us!”Rosalie called out after she pulled Bella’s car into the Cullen’s driveway. She and Bella had stayed at the festival until it closed walking around and trying food from every one of the food trucks. Bella had even treated her to some treats to take home with her. After the festival closed down Bella suggested they should throw a party to celebrate their mate bond. Something that Rosalie was completely on board with. When asked what her family did to celebrate Rosalie told Bella they usually went hunting. Deciding that wasn’t special enough Bella had Rosalie drive her to a bunch of different stores and restaurants collecting a large variety of food and drink. Rosalie thought it was a great way to celebrate and was planning on doing the same for other important events.

“What do you need help with?”Emmett asked as he and everyone but Edward, Carlisle and Esme joined them outside.

Rosalie popped the trunk on Bella’s car.”We have decided to include you in our celebration of some recent developments and need you to carry some things inside.”

“It can’t be that much stuff.”Kate walked around to the small trunk eyes going wide when she saw inside it.”How is that possible?”

“How is what possible?”Alice asked joining Kate at the trunk.”What the hell?”

“What is it?”Irina asked.

“This trunk is packed with more stuff than should fit in the space of this car.”Kate reached her arm in carefully and leaned down until she was so far in the trunk that her feet were barely touching the ground.

“That’s so rad. How does it work?”Emmett had never seen anything like that before.

“Trade secret but I will tell you it can fit a lot of presents.”Bella told him.

“So your red sack is really the trunk of a car?”Kala would have never guessed.

“Basically.”Bella reached in the trunk and pulled out a case of champagne.

Rosalie was quick to take the box from her.“Babe you don’t have to carry anything.”

“I assure you I am quite a lot stronger than a vampire.”Bella thought it was sweet that Rosalie didn’t want her to do the heavy lifting but she was more than capable.

“Babe?”Alice asked.

Rosalie ignored Alice.”Let’s get all this stuff in the house so we can enjoy it.”

“What is all this?”Kate asked. Looking at a box she read the label out loud.”Rocky Road ice cream 24 count. Whoah did you guys get us a case of ice cream to eat?!!”

“That’s not all they got. This one is a box full of take out containers from an Indian restaurant.”Kala was excited to try it.

“What are we celebrating?”Tanya wondered what occurred when Rosalie went off with Bella. She was grateful that it led to them getting a bunch of human food to eat.

“We’ll get to that when everything is unloaded and unpacked because some of that needs to go in the freezer and the coolers need to be filled with ice because Bella said that some of the beverages we got taste better cold.”Rosalie tried some Pepsi at the festival and had made sure Bella got two cases of it so she could enjoy it again. She also had some hot chocolate and got a few different tins to take home to try.

“Are we going to be able to eat all this food and not get sick?”Jasper asked as he grabbed another two boxes from the truck. He thought he smelled fried food and was excited to try it.

“Your venom breaks down the food so it never goes anywhere in your body other than your mouth. That being the case you can eat as much as you want and nothing will be effected other than your taste buds.”Bella explained.

“Amazing.”Seeing all the food that they still had to unload Tanya was extra happy that she and her mates cut their Christmas trip short to meet up with the Cullens.

“Bella and I spent all afternoon trying out a bunch of food trucks and buying treats from stalls at a holiday festival.”Rosalie was hoping that they would go to other festivals in the future.

“What are Doritos?”Alice asked as she grabbed four boxes of assorted bags of chips.

“They are a tortilla chip that is covered in either nacho cheese or ranch seasoning. There are other flavors as well but I thought you would all appreciate the chance to try many different kinds of chips instead of just one or two.”Bella told her.

“You were right we would want to try a bunch of different flavors.”Kate was already planning on trying one of everything in every box that was brought into the house.

“This a huge cake.”Emmett carefully turned the cake sideways to get it out of the trunk without wrecking it. Looking it over he was confused by how it was decorated.”Why does it say congratulations Rosalie and Bella on it?”

“Get everything unloaded them we can pop the champagne and I will tell you all together.”Rosalie had always dreamed since she was young of holding a big party to announce her engagement to the love of her life and everyone raising a glass of champagne to toast her and her beloved. Now with Bella’s help she was going to experience that dream.

“You got champagne?!”Kate was now even more excited.”Did you get other alcohol as well?”

“No because as Bella pointed out none of you have ever been drunk before and it wouldn’t be safe for us be inebriated this close to civilization.”Rosalie completely agree with Bella’s reasoning. She was looking forward to going to the beach house and having a cocktail while laying on the beach though.

“We would be fine.”Kate wouldn’t do anything to expose vampires.

“It’s not happening Kate.”Tanya fully agreed with Bella’s reasonings. She was going to ask if Bella would get them a couple bottles of wine before they parted as Tanya always wondered what the fuss was about.

“I got the last box.”Jasper said.

“Come on let’s get inside and eat.”Alice was excited to eat human food for the second time.

Rosalie went into the kitchen and with Bella’s help started organizing all the stuff the got.”Emmet can you grab the table out of Esme’s craft room please.”

“Got it.”Emmett rushed out of the room.

“Someone get the ice in the coolers.”Rosalie ordered.

“I’ll do it.”Irina volunteered.

“Here’s the table.”Emmett set the table near the wall and then moved the dining room table to make them both fit.

“Someone help me lay everything out.”Rosalie grabbed a box and started laying out the containers of take out on the table.

“I got it.”Alice grabbed another box and working together she and Rosalie filled both tables and had to use the counters to put the rest.

“Should I start putting the drinks in the coolers?”Irina asked.

“I’ll take care of that.”Bella grabbed a case of soda and put it in the cooler than waved her hand over the cans causing a small snow storm to come from her palm making frost to appear on the cans.”There they are cold now.”

“What the fuck?”Emmett exclaimed.

“Do you just create snow?”Kate asked in disbelief.

“Of course I’m Santa.”Bella said like it was a given that she would be able to make snow. She grabbed the next case of soda repeating the process not paying attention to the looks she was receiving.

Tanya shook her head at the scene. She would have to get used to having Santa and her random gifts in her life.”What else needs to be done?”

“Bella just needs to chill the champagne then we start the celebration.”Looking around Rosalie noticed someone was missing.”Where is Esme?”

“There was a big blowup between her and Carlisle that led to Esme packing a bunch of her stuff and leaving. We restrained Carlisle and Edward until she told us she was on the plane and they wouldn’t be able to catch her. Before she left she apologized for not saying goodbye to you.”Kala told her.

“I understand why she didn’t.”Rosalie had mixed feelings about Esme. The woman was kind to her but she never stood up for Rosalie. Especially after Edward tried to mark her by force. Esme could have told Rosalie the laws so she could have reported the pair but Esme stayed quiet. It made it hard to trust her.

Bella held up a case of bottles of champagne.”Who wants a bottle?”

“I do.”Kate wasn’t going to miss the chance to try alcohol.

“I think we all do sweetheart.”Rosalie said.

“Alright.”Bella walked around with the box letting everyone take one. She took one herself and set the box on the floor.

“So we have unloaded the car, set out the food and have our champagne now will you tell us what we are celebrating?”Irina asked.

“I have recently found out that I have a mate bond with Bella and she has accepted it.”Rosalie smiled at the cheers and looks of shock she got from the group.

“Do Santas have mate bonds?”Jasper wondered if that was the reason why Rosalie got such great gifts.

Bella shook her head.”We don’t however I have felt drawn to Rosalie all her life. I believe that was fate pushing me towards her.”

“Well this is definitely a reason to celebrate.”Tanya was overjoyed for Rosalie. The woman deserved some happiness after the lifetime of pain she had been living.

“Let’s pop this champagne.”Kate removed the wrapper off the cork then pushed her fingers under it until it shot off into the living room and liquid came pouring out. She quickly brought the bottle to her mouth and chugged the liquid.

“My turn.”Emmett copied Kate’s action only his cork went farther than hers.

Kala rolled her eyes as she watched Emmett chugging the bottle. She followed the pairs actions but at a much slower and gentler pace. The cork didn’t fly anywhere and only a little liquid spilled. Taking a sip she was pleasantly surprised by the taste.”I think I understand why people love champagne so much.”

“It is really good.”Jasper agreed.

“Now that everyone has their bottle open I would like to make a toast.”Bella held up her bottle towards Rosalie.”To Rose, being your mate is the greatest gift I have ever received and I can’t wait to spend eternity going on many adventures with you by my side.”

Rosalie leaned forward and gave Bella a gentle kiss that had her family cheering and clapping.”You are the greatest gift I have ever received as well.”

“Even better than the race car?”Emmett teased.

“Hands down better than the race car.”Rosalie said.

“How about the Birkin bag?”Alice asked.

“Wellll.”Rosalie pretended to think about it earning a slap on the stomach from Bella.”Just kidding of course better than the bag.”

“That’s what I thought.”Now that they were mated Bella was finally able to act on her instincts. That meant Rosalie was going to be spoiled within an inch of her life and not just on Christmas.

“Not that I really care but it’s probably good that I know. What happened with Carlisle and Edward?”Rosalie figured it would be a good idea so she knew what problems they would have in the future.

“Oh man it was awesome!”Emmett exclaimed in excitement.”After you left Esme went all out on Carlisle and then pack her shit and left. She asked that we keep them restrained so she could get away. While we had them restrained Edward and Carlisle were talking bunches of crap and making tons of threats. Carlisle even tried to convince us that Bella didn’t actually talk to Aro and Sulpicia it was just two random people she paid to act like them.”

“Why would I do something so elaborate? I didn’t even know I would be seeing Carlisle or learning about his crimes.”Bella didn’t know how anyone could think she hired actors to pretend to be the royals.

“Apparently because of your love of Rosalie you have had it out for Carlisle this whole time and all of this was an elaborate set up to get back at him. He even claimed the evidence you gave us of Edward’s crimes was made up and when Tanya told him that the fingerprints matched he claimed the fingerprints were fake as well.”Irina didn’t know why Carlisle thought they would believe those lies.

“How does he explain the sentimental gifts I’ve given him?”Bella asked.

“That was actually brought up and Carlisle tried to claim that it was all a ploy to get him to let down his guard so you could destroy his coven. He used the fact that you said you were taking all that stuff back as proof.”That brought a thought to Jasper.”How did you get all that back? When you were here we were with you the whole time and we didn’t hear anyone in the house but when we let Carlisle and Edward go Carlisle discovered everything you had ever given him that he kept in the house was gone.”

“Trade secret. I will tell you that vampire gifts are child’s play to what a Santa can do. Only an elder god is more powerful than me.”Bella wouldn’t be spilling her secrets to Rosalie’s family.

“What do you mean an elder god?”Alice had never heard of elder gods before.

“It doesn’t matter. What happened after Carlisle accused Bella of destroying his coven?”Rosalie wanted to take the subject off of Bella’s background as she knew Bella didn’t want to talk about it.

“There was a bunch of arguing about it actually being Edward with his help that was ruining the coven and then Emmett made a comment about the way Rosalie had been treated that pissed Edward off to point he began ranting and admitted that he had picked Rosalie out when she was human.”Tanya smile sadly at Rosalie.”Apparently it was Carlisle’s plan all along to turn you for Edward but those men acted before he did.”

Rosalie growled. She had always suspected them of targeting her.”I fucking knew it.”

“Yeah well after he admitted that whatever he heard in our thoughts set him over the edge because proceeded to admit that he did rape and kill all girls. He claimed he liked breaking them emotional and physically.”Jasper had been disgusted with the amount of lust that came from Edward when he was talking about it.

“We think that was Edward’s plan for you. To keep you as his slave but you refused to go along with him and Carlisle so he focused on humans instead. He couldn’t do anything like he tried with you because you would never allow it to happen and you are to powerful for either of them to take you on one at a time or together.”Tanya fully believed that it was his fear of Rosalie that stop Edward from trying to claim another newborn.

“You’re right I wouldn’t have put up with it. As a matter fact I had numerous times given Edward a beatdown when he tried to tell what to do.”Rosalie had never put up with someone trying to dictate her life. Even when she was human and her parents were trying to force her to marry a man they picked out. Rosalie had none of it. As a matter of fact the gifts from Santa helped Rosalie in her quest to be independent.

“After Edward admitted that what happened?”Bella asked.

“We knew we couldn’t kill them but we also knew if we just let them go they would go back to raping and killing. A discussion was had were we decide the best thing to do was castrate the pair of them so they couldn’t rape anybody else. We drew straws and Kate was the lucky one that had to do the deed.”Kala was happy she didn’t have to do it.

“Bella do you have any gifts that could erase memories?”Kate wanted to never think about touching Edward and Carlisle’s junk ever again.

“I’m sorry Kate I can’t do that.”Bella actually could but if she let it be known it would make her be trusted less by the group.

“Damn.”Kate was not happy about it.

“What did they do when you let them go?”Rosalie asked.

“Edward went to attack Kate but Carlisle held him back telling him that it wasn’t time to fight and that they needed to regroup. What ever the fuck that means.”Emmet told her.

“It means he is going to try gathering allies to kill all of us.”Tanya knew Carlisle wouldn’t let this go.”Bella when is your boss going to act.”

“When the time it right.”Bella knew her boss couldn’t act until fate gave her permission.

“That’s vague.”Alice wished they had an exact time.

Bella shrugged.”We play by a different set of rules than mortals.”

“Alright so Edward tried to fight you and Carlisle stopped him then what?”Rosalie asked once again taking the attention away from Bella.

“They went into the house and Carlisle let loose this pitiful sounding roar. Then we heard smashing and a bunch of screaming about how he was going kill Santa. It was when he tried to move on to other parts of the house that we all stepped in and told them take what they wanted and leave or we would force them out. They tried to bully us but Kate gave them a reminder of how weak they both are. After that they both packed quickly and left. We haven’t seen or heard from them again.”Alice said finishing the story.

“Yeah now we are down three coven mates if we include Esme and one of them was our leader.”Kala wasn’t sure what they were going to do without a leader.

“We need to talk about our future.”Jasper wanted to make a plan.

“Actually the future is something I wanted to speak to all of you about. Bella takes a month off every year after Christmas and spends it at her beach house on her private island. This year she has invited all of us to go with her.”Rosalie help up a hand to stop the flood of questions.”She promises that all our need will be met. However we are going to be guests at her home. If you come you will follow the rules.”

“I’m going.”Kate wasn’t going to miss a chance to not only going to the beach but to spend time with a person who could make so they could eat food and drink liquids.

“What do you think Tanya?”Irina liked the of being able to lay in the sun on the beach and swim in the ocean but only if Tanya thought it was a good idea.

“I want to go but we don’t have any clothing suitable for the beach.”Tanya would love to go but needed to get supplies.

“Everything you need will be at the house. Including clothing in each of your styles and sizes and if you need anything else it’s easy for me to acquire.”Bella’s future self had already gone back in time and taken care of it.

“Even for us?”Alice asked.

“For you Alice I made sure to have some one of kind designer swimsuits and lounge wear made. It’s waiting in the closet of yours and Jasper’s room.”Bella let out a grunt when Alice’s body slammed into her giving her a hug.

Rosalie grabbed Alice by the back of the neck and pulled her off of Bella.”Don’t touch my mate.”

“I was just thanking her jeez.”Alice fell into Jasper’s arms when Rosalie threw her at him.

“Well I know I speak for Alice and I when I say we would like to go.”Jasper wouldn’t mind going to a place away from humans that he could relax at.

“We are going.”Kala wasn’t going to let her and Emmett miss out on spending a month at a beach house on a private island.

“Good then it seem we are all set. Now why don’t we take a chance to eat all this food and then we can leave.”Rosalie suggested.

“How are we going to get there?”Tanya asked.

“I’m going to take you and my car there.”Bella told her.

“How are you going to do that?”Kate didn’t know how Bella would be able to get everyone and her car there without help.

“You’ll see.”Bella answered cryptically.

“I don’t know about you guys but I’m starting with the burgers.”Rosalie said kickstarting everyone into grabbing plates and piling them high with food. Thinking about what they just learned Rosalie wasn’t sure what to feel. She had always suspected that Carlisle and Edward had targeted her while she was human. She had actually turned Edward down when he asked her to dance at a ball one time. Rosalie figured that he saw her as something to conquer. It was to bad for him that Rosalie wouldn’t be owned by anyone. Even if he had bitten her before she woke she wouldn’t have been loyal. She probably would have killed him. Looking over at Bella Rosalie smiled seeing a bit of some orange sauce on her chin. Reaching over she wiped it with her thumb then stuck on the finger liking the way that the snowflakes in Bella’s irises seemed to brighten while Bella watched her. Rosalie knew without a doubt that Bella would never try to own her. Bella had proven it time and again by giving her presents every year and expecting nothing in return for them. Not even a thank you note. Even the presents Bella gave helped Rosalie maintain her independence and made it so if she had to she could survive on her own away from her coven. The only reason Rosalie didn’t leave was because she liked her siblings. Now with Bella’s help she was done with Edward and Carlisle and she and her siblings got to stay together. Life couldn’t be more perfect. Well it would be once she got Bella in a bikini.
