The Christmas surprise
By Jayeliwood and Nollie Marie
Edward aka Santa Claus
I wasn't entirely sure how I got roped into this. It might have to do with the fact that my mentor, dear friend and colleague, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, was the host of this year's annual charity fundraiser with his wife, Esme. Normally he was the jolly old soul who gave gifts to all the good boy and girls while I had been doing what I normally did as an intern. I partied, of course. However, since Carlisle had been drawn by the chief of staff to host this year's Annual Christmas Fundraiser, to help raise money for the children's wing, so the role of Santa Claus remained unfilled.
It was the highlight of most children to see Santa Claus and ask for something special. And, not the one who wants to disappoint the kids, I decided to be Santa Claus this year after both Carlisle and his darling wife asked me to. Carlisle owned me big time.
"Dude, you need the pillow," Emmett, Carlisle's nephew, said, pushing a large pillow at my stomach with some force.
"Emmett, I don't want to keep holding the pillow to my stomach when I walked," I simply said, pushing it back towards him.
"That is the reason why I brought this," Jasper, Emmett's cousin-in-law and Carlisle nephew-in-law, said, holding up a ball of yarn and waved in my direction with a smirk. I knew then that I had lost this argument.
I groaned and let them attach the damn thing to me. I first meet Emmett and Jasper one night, about eighteen months ago, at one of Carlisle's dinner parties. It was a bit confusing trying to figure out the family relations between everyone but I finally got it after two tumblers of Carlisle's finest French brandy.
"At least it's a pillow and not one of those pregnant stomachs we had to use during health education's parenting project," Emmett muttered almost to himself.
"You had pregnant stomachs?" I asked in surprise.
"The school wanted us to have the full experience," Emmett muttered a little louder, rolling his eyes.
Jasper chuckled. "In Texas, we still used sacks of flour as babies. None of that fancy stuff for us."
"Yeah, lucky you. Rosalie made me carry the stomach around saying that she'll be the one carrying a baby for nine months, I could at least carry one for nine days."
"I didn't have health education," I replied. Jasper and Emmett didn't hear a word as they went on to tell about last years' hot pediatric nurses that came down to help the children meet Santa Claus.
"Aren't you two married?" I said, shrugging into Santa's thick red jacket. God, this thing is heavy and hot. Seriously, if there was a Santa Claus, why would he still have a big ass belly?
"No," Emmett said, rocking on back and forth on his feet with a dopey grin on his face.
Jasper punched him straight in the stomach. "Dude, don't make me tell my cousin, your fiancée, that."
"You wouldn't," Emmett snapped back in a deep growl. It would have been scary if I didn't know them both so well.
I laughed, shaking my head as I attached stupid itchy white beard.
"But seriously, these girls are hot," Emmett said, looking at me, fighting back a smile when he realized I had the beard on.
"Go ahead, laugh, mother fucker," I said, holding the repulsively scratchy beard to my face as it slipped off my ear. "But just you wait, I'm sure next year you'll be Santa Claus."
"Great, Rosalie will make one hell of a Mrs. Claus," the bastard smirked.
"Gagh, Emmett, that's my cousin you're talking about," Jasper said with a heavy frown, looking like he just vomited in his mouth.
"Please, like I want to hear your sexual adventures with my cousin," Emmett smirked at Jasper's expression, a little too pleased with himself for grossing him out.
Either way, I wasn't going to get in the middle of it.
Just then Carlisle, God bless him, entered the locker room for the interns, officially ending any talk about sex. Thank God.
"Thanks again for doing this, Edward," Carlisle said, handing me some black leather gloves. "Esme found these these the other day and thought that it would complete the look."
"Thanks," I mumbled, putting them on. They were warm and I knew I'd be uncomfortable by the end of the night but I'd have to deal with it.
"You ready? The kids are already starting to line up," Carlisle asked with a slight jovial smile on his face.
"Sure," I muttered, shoving the Santa's cap on my head. The white little ball swung in my line of sight and no matter how many times I pushed it out of the way it would just fall back into place. Finally giving up, I left the silly thing be where it was and headed out off the locker room.
Carlisle wasn't joking about the kids lining up. There were already at least twenty children waiting in line, a few where in wheelchairs, IVs attached to the chair's pole, while the others were dressed in normal play clothes. And I was sure that there was still more to come. Sighing, I went to sit down in a huge chair, saying "Ho, Ho, Ho, merry Christmas," in deepest voice I could muster.
There were a few squeals and "Mommy, Mommy, look it's Santa Claus!" but the rest where quiet, probably thinking of what they wanted to ask me. As I took my seat, I noticed three nurses each dressed in scrubs that had some sort of Christmas theme on them. Despite Emmett being engaged to a woman who most likely would have slapped him for noticing other girls, he was right about the nurses being hot. Especially the brunette wearing pale ice blue scrubs with little white snowflakes scattered around the fabric.
I wondered idly as I took my seat why I had never seen her before. Sure, I didn't spend a lot of time in the pediatric units, but I should have seen her at least in the cafeteria once or twice. I knew I would have noticed her.
"Here you go, Tommy," said the blond, placing a little boy in a white shirt, black pants, and a dark blue unbuttoned vest in my lap. I bit back a grimace as she moved her hand pretty close to my groin. Great, Santa was getting hit on.
Bella Swan, Nurse
"You guys are insane," I stated, shaking my head. There was no way I was going to do it.
"Come on Bella," Jessica said, folding her arms across her chest with a smirk as she watched Lauren prance up to 'Santa Claus', leading a little two year old boy by the hand. "You have to admit, you're so vanilla yogurt. I mean, have you ever done it in more than one position?"
I was blushing as I looked around to make sure that no one over heard Jessica. This wasn't exactly something you spoke about at work or around a lot of children. I liked my job and I wanted to keep it.
"Yes, I have," I whispered.
Jessica raised an eyebrow, not believing me.
"What?" I said. I was telling the truth; after all I was still red faced.
"Anyways," Jessica said with a roll of her eyes, "you still virginal."
"Just because I haven't had-" I leaned forward and whispered so that no one would hear, "-sex in public doesn't make me virginal."
Lauren decided then to join us in the conversation after she made sure that her patient was safely in the transport chair, waiting to take him back up to his room.
"Bella, you need to seriously spice you your dull sex life or else you are going to live a very lonely one," Lauren commented.
"I bet you Lauren that she couldn't go up to-" She quickly glanced around before smirking at her choice of men. I didn't like that smirk in the least. "-Santa Claus and tell him that she's been a very very naughty girl."
If my face wasn't red before, it was now. I bit my lip and turned to look at Santa Claus. I never was the person who did the whole dare thing. I never really saw the point. You typically looked like an chicken if you didn't it or an ass afterwards if you did. But I was seriously getting tired of them making fun of me. Just because I wasn't as slutty as them didn't make me a prude. I could have fun if I wanted to and I was going to prove it to them.
"Fine," I said, turning towards them.
"What?" Lauren said, surprised. Jessica's jaw had dropped nearly to the floor.
"I'll do it," I said just as little Britney Thomas came up to me, tugging on my scrubs with her tiny hand.
"Ms. Bella, can I go see Santa?" She asked before sticking her thumb into mouth, looking up at me hopefully with large hazel eyes.
I smiled down at her and nodded once. I led her back to line, feeling the other two nurses stare at my back, grilling holes into it. The line was pretty long, about fifteen children in line and there was still some more coming. We'd be here a while.
"Ms. Bella, are you nervous about meeting Santa?" Britney asked thoughtfully, her large doe eyes gazing up at me from her tiny height.
I looked down at her, wondering why she'd ask such a thing. "No, not really. Why do you ask sweetie?"
"You're tapping your foot," she pointed down at my bouncing clog covered foot. Sure enough, I was. "Daddy does that when he's nervous."
I smiled and tapped my finger against the end of her nose. "I'm just not sure what I want to ask Santa yet."
Britney's eyes went wide with surprise for some reason. "You have to think of something to ask Santa for! You're the greatest nurse, you're always so nice to me. That has to put you on the nice list!"
I chuckled at cute logic before moving forward a few more inches in the line.
I really couldn't believe I was doing this. Seriously, I must have lost my mind somewhere on my way to work today. I never let the slut twins get to me before, now I was about to embarrass myself. I was pretty sure after this I would need to move to another country.
Seventeen quick minutes later, Britney and I were the next in line for Santa. There were only a couple of kids behind me, surprisingly. It was starting to get late for a lot of the kids and most of them wore out so easily because of whatever illness had them in here.
"So, what would you like for Christmas, dear?" The man in the awful suit said in a deep voice. He touched his leather gloved finger to the tiny girl's chin, making her smile a wide and toothless grin. "Two front teeth?" He teased her.
"No," the girl scoffed. "Mommy said those will grow back on their own soon. I want one of those dolls that crawls and makes noises."
Santa's deep green eyes flicked over to the girl's parents who just nodded their heads. Santa smiled at the girl, nodding his head. "I might just be able to do that. But, you have to promise to be a very good girl!"
"Yes, sir!" The child squealed happily, hopping off of his lap before they could take her picture because she was so excited. Her parents laughed and herded her back to Santa so they could take a picture of her.
And then it was our turn.
I picked Britney up, carrying her up to Santa's chair. Placing her on his lap, I stood beside them nervously. "So, what's your name?"
"Britney Ann Thomas!" She beamed, very proud of herself for knowing her full name. "Santa, can you get something nice for Bella for Christmas?"
I blushed brightly at her words. Santa chuckled, turning his vivid eyes in my direction. "Well, if there is anything she wants, she needs to ask me. Why don't you tell me what you want for Christmas, Britney?"
She leaned in, whispering something in his ear. He laughed softly, touching the tip of her nose sweetly. "Well, I'll have to talk to your mommy and daddy about that but I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you!" She beamed, hugging him tightly. Just as he did, a camera flashed. Britney giggled and ran off towards Jessica, telling her excitedly about her visit with Santa.
I decided to let the two other kids go first before I embarrassed myself. I'd just go wait in the back of the line. Or, that's what I was telling myself. I just wanted to give myself more time before I embarrassed myself. But, as I moved, I felt Santa's gloved hand on my own. "And what would you like for Christmas, little girl?"
I looked over at Jessica and Lauren who were smirking at me and I could just tell they thought I was going to wuss out on this. Well, I couldn't let that happen so I decided to play along with Santa Claus.
I came around his front, sitting myself on his lap. He wrapped a tight arm around my waist and another hand on my knee. I heard cheers and laughter from the kids that remained in the room and some of the people that were there for the fundraiser. They were cheering for two totally different reasons though. I flushed red, picking at a piece of fuzz off of Santa's coat. "Well, I don't know if I deserve a gift this year," I said innocently, looking at him from underneath my eyelashes.
"And why is that?" He asked, looking directly into my eyes. His voice was deeper now and I could tell he was making no effort for it to be that way. It wasn't strained or fake at all.
I leaned in, pressing my lips against his ear so that no one else could hear. "Because I've been a very bad girl."
Santa's grip on my knee tightened.
"I seriously doubt that," he said breathlessly before clearing his throat. "You seem like a very good girl to me."
I bit my lip, pulling back to look at him. "So, you think I deserve a present?"
He nodded his head slowly, the little white ball on his hat bobbing up and down. "Anything you want."
I giggled stupidly at what I was about to say, leaning my lips against his ear once again. "Well, I want to get laid. Do you think you can help me out with that, Santa?"
The man in the red suit groaned, squeezing my waist slightly. I could tell he was stumbling for words so I decided to help him out with that some. "I'll be happy with whatever you give me, Santa." He just groaned again.
"We'll see what I can do for you after I get done here," he whispered quietly, giving me another squeeze of the waist. "Now smile for the camera."
I leaned against his chest, smiling as the camera flashed once again. With a quick peck on his cheek, I got off his lap. I was practically skipping. The stupidly I just committed made me giddy for some reason.
"I can't believe you did that!" Jessica laughed, patting me on the back. "That was awesome. Santa's face was priceless. You can consider THAT my Christmas present."
Lauren didn't seem nearly as amused. "Come on, we've got to get the children back. It just about time to do rounds."
After we had finished our rounds we were standing around the nurses station, doing what nurses tend to do best. Gossip. Or, they were gossiping and I was listening. I leaned against counter, my chin on my palm, as I listened to Jessica recount the Santa tale for perhaps the sixth time since it happened to some of the other nurses.
"And his FACE! Oh, my god! And Bella won't tell me what she told him!" She pouted in my direction.
"Because it's none of your business," I rolled my eyes. "Poor Santa though. I think I embarrassed him."
"I think you turned him on," Jessica snorted, scribbling something down on a chart. "I think I know exactly what Santa wants to stuff your stockings with this year."
"Ugh, don't be vulgar," I said, but I couldn't help but laugh. I rubbed a hand over my forehead before checking my watch. "It's almost my lunch," I informed the girls but they didn't even look at me. They were looking past me with wide eyes.
I turned around slowly to see a man in a Santa suit standing about five feet away. His beard was gone now, shoved somewhere in his pocket. He was smirking and he was down right beautiful. I flushed a furious shade, totally and completely embarrassed now. "Um, yeah," he said, waving something in my direction. "You forgot your picture and I was wondering if you'd like to discuss your Christmas present in a little more detail."
