“Jasper's cousin. She's had a crush on me since she met me. She's cute and all, but she's like 14 and I have you, so yeah. Kind of a pain when she visits.” he said, sounding exasperated at the very thought of the visit.

“Oh. By the way, where's Jake?” I asked, looking at Alice and Jasper.

“We dropped him off at Sam's place before we came. Mrs. Hale dropped off Nessie to play with him. Kate's allergic and they're visiting Jasper's parents first. They'll be by here around dinner.” she said matter-of-factly.

I just nodded and leaned on Edward. From my spot, I could see the stairwell and my eyes drifted to the pictures.

“Edward. Come over here.” I said, tugging Edward's shirt as I tried to make my way over to the pictures that I had looked at so many times today.

“What is it?” he asked when we stood in front of the many framed images.

“Who is in all of these?” I asked, waving my hand across the air in a sweeping motion.

“Well, most of these are Rosalie and I or Rosalie, Jasper and I. Jasper didn't like pictures much, so he was good at hiding from them. Rosalie always dragged me in. It was annoying.” he said chuckling, as his eyes glanced at each of the images before him.

I turned to the image at the end of the stairwell. The one that was recently taken with a little girl.

“Who's that?” I asked, pointing at the picture.

“That's Jasper's cousin. It was taken about a year and a half ago. I hear she's actually grown about a foot taller and developed more since we last saw her. She's blond though, and I'm into brunettes.” he said, smiling, as he tousled my hair.

I smiled back at him and we walked over to the couch. Emmett and Rosalie looked happy again, cuddled up and all smiles. I was glad to see things had worked out between the two of them.

Alice and Jasper quickly joined us and we settled in to watch some of the classic Christmas movies. It was still two weeks away, but December was basically the month of Christmas.

“A Year Without a Santa Claus,” was on. I used to watch it all the time as a kid.
