"I will actually eat that Christmas tree if you know how to waltz," my best friend crossed her arms indignantly, tilting her chin upwards and scoffing. Her hair was (respectfully) red, and and told me that she was going to dye mine green in my sleep... usually, I would laugh at that, but it's Sadie, so you really never know. 

 "You don't marry Jasper and never learn to waltz," I shot back. Alice laughed her musical laugh, holding out her hand, "shall we?" 

 I accepted it. "We shall."

 "I hate straight people," I heard Sadie mumble as she sat next to Clara, who shrugged in response. "Honestly, same." 

 I began to dance with Alice, her small feet moving quickly. Thankfully, I was fast, and had no issue keeping up with her. The music was soft, but it was loud enough to my enhanced ears that I could hum along with it, delicately spinning Alice. I shot Sadie a cocky smirk over my shoulder, which she mimicked. 

 "Dancing!"  

 I didn't even have to look over to see the wide grin on Edward's face, and the revolted one on Bella's. They were out hunting, along with Carlisle, Esme, and Jasper. Edward laughed lightly to himself, catching Bella around the waist as she tried to run away. "No! You can't make me!"

 "Why hello there, doll," Jasper appeared at my side, pressing a kiss to my cheek as Alice jokingly comforted Sadie. "Showing off your dancing skills?" 

 "They only add to my ever-growing list of skills." 

 He chuckled, and I smiled teasingly up at him, standing on my toes to kiss his lips gently, running my hand through his honey blonde locks and only pulling apart when Emmett nailed me in the head with a sweater. 

 "Jesus Christ!" I caught it in my hand, preparing myself to turn and throw it back at him. The big man held his hands in the air in defense. "No! It's for Jazz!" 

 I held up my middle finger at Emmett, although I was tempted to laugh at the horrified look on my husbands face when he saw just how ugly the sweater was. "Damn, Emmett, who did you have to kill to get this?" 

 "That is information purely for me, dear brother." he winked. "And look at Cordie! She looks awful!" 

 "I look gorgeous!" I shot back, spreading my arms to showcase the bright green knit sweater I had on, a large picture of a reindeer plastered across the front. The whole family, who were gathering in the living room, voiced their own opinion on how "adorable" the sweater was, making Emmett pout. 

 "You are all liars!" He turned to me dramatically, "have fun living with the fact that your entire family lies to you!" 

"They just like me the best!" 

 "Untrue!" 

 "Watching them argue is like watching professional ping-pong," Sadie commented dryly, and Clara nodded. "It makes me want to fall off a bridge." 

 "Wow, love you guys too."

"We're home!" The musical voice of the youngest Cullen sang as the door opened once again, and Nessie waltzed in. Unfortunately, with my dearest niece, also came her asshole of a boyfriend.
