Santa Baby 2

“I think she is waking up.”Rosalie heard a relieved male voice say. Opening her eyes Rosalie was very confused by what was going on and why she was in her room laying on her bed. Not only was she laying on her bed but it seemed she was under the covers as well. Rosalie tried to think of the last thing she had done. She had just finished putting the drugs in the milk and had taken a seat at her monitors. That was when she heard a noise in the kitchen and went to investigate then everything went black. How she got to her room and tucked into bed she didn’t know.

“What happened?”Rosalie cleared her throat to get rid of the grogginess in her voice.

“We were hoping you would be able to tell us. Alice had come to check on you about an hour ago and didn’t find you at the monitors so she searched for you. She found you in here seeming to be asleep. We have been trying to wake you up this whole time.”Carlisle wasn’t sure what to think of this situation. Never before had he encountered a vampire sleeping.

“I heard a noise in the kitchen and went to investigate then everything went black. I don’t know how I got to my room or how I got in bed.”Rosalie lifted the blankets sighing in relief when she found she was still wearing the same clothes.

“Do you think you actually caught Santa?”Emmett asked excitedly.

“If I did it would be on the monitors.”Rosalie sat up slowly and got out of bed.”Did they leave presents?”

“Yeah we each got one but you got two.”Kala told her.

“I got two?”Rosalie wondered why she got two.

Alice shrugged.”I don’t know either.”

“I guess the only thing to do is check the monitors and open the presents.”Rosalie followed everyone out of her room and down the stairs. She went straight for the monitors. Queuing up the footage she found that everything had been erased except for when Rosalie put the sleeping pills in the milk. Looking over Rosalie noticed that the cookies were gone but the milk was still there.”Shit.”

“What is it?”Esme asked.

“They knew I drugged the milk. As a matter of fact they erased all the footage except of me putting the pills in it.”Rosalie felt beyond foolish for being caught.

“Maybe they drugged you as payback.”Emmet suggested.

“How would you drug a vampire?”Jasper did agree with Emmet. Santa had definitely messed with Rosalie to get back at her.

“I don’t know but Santa has gifts. It wouldn’t be that out there to think one of them could effect vampires.”Emmet said.

“We can figure that out later. I want to open gifts.”Alice wanted to see what Santa got her.

“Everyone take a seat and we will open presents. Then we can try and figure out what happened to Rosalie.”Carlisle was curious to know what he received because he didn’t ask for anything specific this year.

“I’ll hand them out.”Emmett waited until everyone took a seat before handing Edward a small box.”This one is for you.”

Edward opened the box frowning when he caught sight of the gift.”Why does Santa hate me?”

“What did you get?”Kala asked.

“I got a blank cassette tape.”Edward held up the tape to show everyone.

Jasper laughed.”You must be a really horrible person if Santa keeps getting you these kind of gifts.”

“I’m not a horrible person. It’s just since Rosalie joined the family that Santa stopped giving me what I asked for.”Edward had noticed as soon as Rosalie joined the coven that Santa never gave him anything good.

“Maybe it’s because you and Rosalie don’t get along and Santa is siding with Rosalie in your feud.”Alice said.

“Here Carlisle.”Emmett handed Carlisle the next box.

Carlisle carefully opened it gasping in surprise when he saw the contents.”My god.”

“What is it?”Esme asked.

“It’s my father’s rosary and the cross he wore around his neck.”Carlisle couldn’t imagine what he had done for Santa to give him something so incredible.

“Wow you must have been an amazing person this year.”Alice figured that Carlisle would have to have done something monumental to get those gifts.

“They are something I will cherish for the rest of my life.”Carlisle was already planning on writing a thank you letter to Santa for this.

“Esme you’re up.”Emmett handed Esme her own box.”This is kind of heavy.”

Esme took the box from him, opened it smiling when she saw what was inside.”It’s exactly what I wanted.”

“What did you ask for?”Jasper asked.

“I asked for some fertilizer for my greenhouse that will allow African plants to grow.”Esme hadn’t even know what to look for when getting the fertilizer. Now she had the right kind so she could order more if she wanted to.

“I’m next!”Alice had waited long enough. Now she wanted her present.

“Actually Kala is next.”Emmett said as he handed his mate a box.”I’m sorry sweetheart I don’t think they gave you that painting you wanted.”

“It’s alright.”Kala's initial reaction was disappointment only for it to be replaced with shock and disbelief when she got the box open.”Holy fuck!!”

Emmet looked in the box.”What is it?”

“It’s so much better than a painting.”Kala pulled one of the three sketchbooks out of the box and showed him.”These are the artist’s original sketchbooks. The card inside said they are from her private collection meaning they have never been seen by the public.”

“How come you get priceless art and I get a blank cassette tape?”Edward didn’t think it was fair that he got cheap crap from Santa and everyone else in the family got expensive thoughtful gifts.

“I think that is a question you are going to have to ask yourself Edward.”Kala didn’t care why Santa hated Edward. All that mattered to her was that Santa liked her.

“Alright Alice it’s your turn.”Instead of a box Emmet wheeled a cart with various clothes bags and shoe boxes on it.

Seeing it Alice rushed over and opened the first bag squealing in surprise.”Santa did it. Look there is even a note Carolina Herrera wrote to me personally.”

“I’m happy for you sweetheart.”Jasper would make sure to send Santa a thank you note for making his wife so happy.

“You’re turn Jasper.”Emmett set an extremely large box in front Jasper.

“It’s big.”Jasper stood to open it and when he saw the contents his eyes filled with tears.”How?”

Alice put her hand on Jasper's shoulder.”Are you alright?”

“Yes it’s just it seems like Santa got their hands on my army dress uniform.”Jasper told her. He pulled out a sword and unsheathed it marveling at it being in such good condition. Next he pulled out a cavalry hat with tassels that looked like it was brand new. Looking inside Jasper recognized his name and unit written in his own handwriting proving the hat was his. Jasper was wrong thinking it was just his dress uniform Santa had gotten it seemed Santa had actually gotten all of his uniforms and the personal effects he left in his camp before he was turned into a vampire. Underneath all of it was a rolled up tapestry and a bunch of photo albums. Unrolling the tapestry he noticed it had his family tree on it including a recent ancestor who had been born the year before.”They found my family.”

“That’s amazing Jazz.”Alice was very happy for her husband.”What are the photo albums of?”

Jasper set everything aside and reached for the oldest looking one in the box. Opening it the first picture he saw was of himself with his brother, sister, parents and grandparents posing in front of their house. Flipping through he notice all kinds of pictures of people he once knew and places he had visited. He wondered how Santa got the pictures because some he didn’t remember taking.”The pictures in this one are people and places from my human life.”

“How does Santa do it?”Emmett asked.

“I have no clue.”Carlisle had many discussions about Santa and could never figure out how he did what he did.

“I am extremely grateful for them.”Jasper set the things back in the box. He wanted to go through them in private so he wouldn’t have to hide his emotions.

“My turn.”Emmett frowned at the extremely small box that had his name on it.”This isn’t a game system.”

“Maybe you have been bad this year Emmet.”Kala said.

“I think it’s fitting someone else gets a bad gift from Santa.”Edward thought it was unfair that he wasn’t given better gifts. He was a better person than everyone in his family and most if not all of society. It didn’t make sense that he got bad gifts.

“I’ll just try to be better next year.”Emmet ripped the paper off the box and opened it. Inside was a card. Picking up the card Emmett squealed at the top of his lungs when he finished reading it.

Rosalie put her hands over her ears.“Jesus Emmet calm down.”

“Calm down! You expect me to calm down?!!”Emmett was never going to calm down again.

“Well what did you get?”Alice asked.

“Santa arranged for me to meet with a designer at Nintendo where not only are they going to give me the new system but they are going to do some scans of my body so they can make a hunting game with me as the main character.”Emmet couldn’t believe that he was going to have his own video game that would be available to the public.”Kate is going to be so jealous.”

“That’s a hell of a lot better than just a game system.”Kala was happy Santa did something so creative for Emmet.

“Fuck yeah it is.”Emmet would have never even thought to ask for something like that.

“I can’t wait to see what Rosalie got.”Alice figure Rosalie got something extra amazing based on the family’s gifts.

Emmet grabbed two small boxes.”They are numbered so I think you’re supposed to open them in order.”

“Of course.”Rosalie opened the one labeled one on it and quickly schooled her expression when she noticed the gorgeous diamond snowflake necklace. Rosalie had never seen a more beautiful piece of jewelry. It was definitely something she was going to be wearing in the future. Deciding to inspect it closer later she went to close the lid on the box when she noticed a small note. Opening it she read silently to herself.

Rose,

I apologize that I have made you think that I have violated your privacy. I assure you I have not. One of the side effects of being Santa is knowing everyone’s deepest desires. I assure you I have never invaded your personal space. To make up for this perceived insult I am gifting you this necklace. It’s magical in nature so if you put it on you can never take it off. Not that I think you would want to because while you are wearing it it blocks all mental gifts from being used on you. That means your mind would finally be your own. I also added in protection from the sun so that you will no longer sparkle when you go outside. The second part of your gift would be useless without it.

Once again sorry for the misunderstanding,

Santa Claus

P.S. I am very disappointed that you would lower yourself to become a person who would drug someone without their knowledge. I would have expected better from you than to take away someone’s free will. I understand why you did it but I’m still disappointed.

Rosalie flinched when she got to the bottom of the letter. She hadn’t really thought about the repercussions of drugging Santa. Luckily Santa seemed to forgive her. Forgave her enough to give her the necklace. Rosalie took a moment to think about if it was a good idea to put on a necklace that couldn’t be taken off. That was if she believed in magic. Then again the benefits outweighed everything else. Pulling the necklace out of the box she clasped it around her neck. Hearing Edward gasp confirmed that it worked.

“What did you just do?”Edward was not pleased that Rosalie’s mind was blank to him.

“I just put a necklace on.”Rosalie smirked at the look of frustration on Edward’s face.

“What is that necklace made of?”Edward wanted to know how it was blocking his gift.

Rosalie shrugged.”I don’t know where Santa got it.”

“What’s going on?”Alice asked.

“Rosalie is blocking my gift somehow.”Edward told her.

“What do you mean Rosalie is blocking your gift?”Carlisle had never heard of anyone blocking Edward’s gift.

“I mean as soon as Rosalie put the necklace on her mind became unreachable. There is some type of barrier keeping me out.”Edward did not like it at all.

“Jasper what about your gift?”Carlisle asked.

Jasper focused his gift on Rosalie.”I feel nothing from her and she isn’t responding to my influence.”

“What did you do Rosalie?”Carlisle was very interested in learning how Rosalie was able to block both gifts.

“Santa cleared up our misunderstanding and as part of their apology gifted me this necklace that is supposed to not only block all mental gifts from working on me but will block the sun's rays as well.”Rosalie was more than happy to accept that apology as she believed Santa when they said they hadn’t invaded her privacy.

“Let me see the necklace.”Carlisle wanted to see if it was something he could duplicate.

Rosalie shook her head.”Not only am I not going to let anyone touch it Santa said that once I clasped it around my neck it couldn’t be removed.”

“That isn’t true.”Edward didn’t believe for a second that the necklace couldn’t be taken off.”Now give it to Carlisle.”

“I don’t care if it’s true or not. I’m not letting anyone touch the necklace.”Rosalie liked finally having the one thing she craved more than anything in life. That being privacy.

“You will give it to Carlisle because I need to have access to your mind to make sure you aren’t plotting anything.”Edward had been against Rosalie since her turning and knew that it was just a matter of time before she turned against the family.

“Edward! Rosalie would never go against the family.”Esme was shocked Edward would say such a thing.

“You don’t listen to her thoughts. They are very violent and graphic. She has many fantasies of killing everyone in this family.”Edward told her.

“Of course my thoughts are violent and graphic. I was turned into a vampire after I had been gang raped. My emotions from that event followed over with me when I became a vampire. Nothing is going to fix that. However that doesn’t mean I’m going to do anything. Unlike you I don’t hunt and drain humans. No matter how many times I think of doing it.”Rosalie wasn’t ashamed of the events that led to her turning. That shame belonged to the men who did and Carlisle who thought it was a good idea to change a rape victim to be his son’s plaything while he waited for his mate.

“The people I hunted were the worst of the worst.”Edward was proud of his kills.

“I don’t think Santa thinks so. I mean it was after you went off killing that you started getting shitty presents.”Emmett said.

“It makes you wonder what Santa knows that we don’t.”Jasper always thought Edward’s kills were suspicious. He never actually explained the thoughts each victim had that led to him killing them.

“All I know is that Santa has access to some cool stuff that can affect vampires to include blocking mental gifts and the sun and putting us to sleep.”Kala was jealous that Rosalie got a necklace. She was already planning on asking Santa for one next year.

“A necklace I would like to take a look at.”Carlisle wanted to study it.

“And I told you I am not letting anyone touch it. It was given to me by Santa as a way to apologize for letting me believe that they had violated my privacy. Meaning it’s a personal gift that I am not parting with even just for someone to look at it.”Rosalie was never going to take the necklace off ever again.

“It’s imperative that I look at it so we can see if we can duplicate it. Such a thing would make most of the Volturi guards useless against anyone who had one. I’m sure you want your family protected don’t you?”Carlisle knew that Rosalie would agree if it helped the family.

“It’s not happening. I just made peace with Santa after a decades long feud. There is no way in hell I’m going to anger them by letting you use their gift like a science experiment. Also if they wanted you guys to have them they would have given them to you.”Rosalie felt special that Santa only gave the necklace to her and not the rest of her family.

“I have to agree with Rosalie. Yes it would be nice to have the necklace but Santa has been really good to all of us. It wouldn’t be right if we tried to mess with it for our own gain.”Kala didn’t want to insult Santa.

“Rosalie you still got another box.”Emmet said trying to get off the topic of the necklace.

“Oh yeah.”Rosalie opened the box confused to find her own cell phone and a pair of car keys. Unlocking her phone she was surprised to see the picture on the Lock Screen. It was of Rosalie on the kitchen floor with her eyes closed and a woman with brown hair and brown eyes with snowflakes in her irises laying on the floor neck to her. The woman was wearing a Santa hat and red and white fitted Santa suit. Rosalie frowned because it seemed the picture was taken with a filter because not only Rosalie but the woman had cartoon beards, fake blush on their cheeks and red dots on their noses. Rosalie took this all in pausing when she looked into the brown haired girl’s eyes. It wasn’t the snowflakes that caught Rosalie’s attention the most. It was the overwhelming feeling of love and attraction that she felt. Rosalie wasn’t completely sure but she thought she just found her mate.

“You alright Rosalie?”Jasper asked in concern.

“I think Santa took a selfie with my passed out body.”Rosalie told him.

“What?!”Alice rushed over to Rosalie and took the phone out of her hand.”I knew it Santa is a girl.”

“Santa’s a girl?”Emmett leaned over Alice shoulders to see the picture.

“Yeah and extremely young.”Alice had expected Santa to be a lot older.

Kala took the phone from Alice.”She looks like a teenager.”

“Can I have my phone back please?”Rosalie took the phone back and looked at the picture again. Her siblings were right. Santa looked extremely young. That didn’t mean much though because her species could be longed lived.

“What are the keys for?”Jasper asked.

“What?”Rosalie looked down in her hand and noticed Jasper was right she had a set of keys in her hand.”I don’t know they were in the box with my phone.”

“Well let’s go check your garage.”Alice grabbed Rosalie’s hand and pulled her towards the garage. She was excited to see what Santa had gotten for Rosalie.

“Slow down Alice.”Rosalie scolded.

“Come on Rosalie aren’t you excited to find out what Santa got you this time. I mean what if it’s better than the race car?”Emmett hoped it was better than the race car.

“We are about to find out.”Jasper held Alice and Emmett back from charging into the garage to give Rosalie a chance to see the car first.

“Shit.”Rosalie exclaimed when she switched the light on in the garage and was met with the sight of a mint condition blue 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Coda convertible. Rosalie was now even happier with the necklace because if Santa was being truthful Rosalie would be able to drive with the top down on a sunny day.

“I am so driving that.”Emmet was going to take it to the race track.

“You aren’t touching it.”Rosalie stepped towards the car and ran her hand slowly along the side savoring the feel of the clean lines and perfect paint. She didn’t even have to look under the hood or check out the interior to know that the car was all original. Santa wouldn’t have bothered if it wasn’t.

“What’s a car like this go for Rosalie?”Kala asked.

“Assuming this one is all original and probably has low milage I would say 6 to 7 million.”Rosalie could easily see it fetch more in a good auction.

“Seriously why does Santa love you so much?”Alice couldn’t figure that out.

Rosalie shrugged not taking her eyes off the car. She wondered if Santa knew they were mates and that’s why she had always gone out of her way for Rosalie. It would be something she would be asking in the letter she was going to write once she got her first moment alone.”Maybe she just likes my feistiness.”

“You do have a lot of feistiness.”Emmett could see Santa who was a natural do gooder being interested in someone who didn’t really care what people thought of her.

“I have a lot of feistiness and a brand new convertible that I’m going to take for a test drive and see if Santa was telling the truth about the necklace making me immune to the sun.”Rosalie said.

“I’m so jealous right now.”Alice wanted to ride around in a convertible.

“That sounds like a you problem Alice.”Rosalie pushed her family towards the door.”Now get out of my garage so I can go change my clothes.”

“Lame.”Emmett wanted to play with the car.

“You should start working on ideas for your video game so you are ready for your appointment.”Rosalie told him.

“Good idea.”Emmett didn’t want to come across as an amateur when he met with the designer.

“I’m going to go look through my new clothes.”Alice wanted to see what she was given because there were shoe boxes and that designer didn’t make shoes.

“I’m going to go through my gift as well.”Jasper had seen some newer photo albums that he had a feeling were of recent members of his family.

“I’m dying to see what’s in those sketchbooks.”Kala was happy that the family exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve and only opened gifts from Santa on Christmas morning. That meant that she didn’t have to wait to look through her present from Santa.

“I’ll see you guys when I get back.”Rosalie said as she veered off to her bedroom. Entering she closed the door behind her and made her way to her desk taking a seat. She wanted to write Santa before she left so that she could mail it out immediately. Rosalie didn’t know how Santa received mail but hoped that she would get it right away. Now knowing they were mates Rosalie felt foolish for all the years of mistrust she had of the woman. Not that anyone could blame her. Rosalie hadn’t know that Santa could tell a person’s every desire. It was only logical for her to think that Santa had been stalking her. Knowing the truth did bring a lot of questions with it. Like was Santa working alone and if they were how did they get gifts to all those homes in one night. Pulling her phone out of her pocket Rosalie looked at the picture again hating the stupid filter that Santa had used because it covered most of her face. At least Rosalie got to see her eyes. Those eyes giving Rosalie just as many questions. Like were the snowflakes in her irises natural and if they were how did she hide them from humans. That brought with it the thought of did Santa live amongst humans. Rosalie shook her head to stop the rabbit hole she had fallen into. Pulling out a sheet of paper and pen she began her letter to Santa. After she delivered it to the post office then she could spend time wondering.
