Prologue: The Past
RPOV
It's been five years since I gave birth to the quads. They've grown up so fast that I can't believe it. The girls look exactly like I did when I was a kid and the boys look just like Jasper did when he was a kid. I love all four of them. It seems like just yesterday I gave birth to them and now they are starting kindergarten. I can't believe it but its happening.
Chapter 1: Open House and First Day
RPOV
I had just finished getting dressed to go to orientation for kindergarten for the quads. I had decided to wear a pink shirt, a pair of black pants, and a pair of black suede pumps. I had curled my hair and done makeup and was now going to check to see how the kids were doing. The girls were supposed to be getting into a polo dress and a pair flip flops and the boys were supposed to be getting into light blue polo shirt, a pair of gray plaid shorts, and a pair of grey plaid sneakers. I checked on the girls first. Just as I suspected, they were dressed and ready to go. I went to the boys' room and found them playing with their cars and still in their play clothes. "Boys," I said and they looked at me. I walked into the room and said, "I asked the two of you get ready. Now I'm telling the two of you to get ready. I'll be back in thirty minutes and if the two of you aren't dressed then you will both be put in time out." I walked out of the room shutting the door behind me and heard then shuffling around to get dressed. Thirty minutes later I went back to the boys' room and both of them were dressed and ready to go. "Ok, you two can go downstairs where your sisters are and wait for Daddy to get home so that we can go to orientation," I said and then they bolted from the room and I could hear them running down the stairs.
When Emmett got home we wrangled up all of the kids and went to the elementary school for orientation. We walked through the front doors of the school and followed the signs that had kindergarten orientation written on them. The signs led us to an auditorium and we found seats for all of us and sat down and waited for the orientation to begin.
Eventually a woman walked onto stage and over to the podium. "Welcome students and families. My name is Mrs. Johnson and I'm the principal of the elementary school," she said. "I would like to welcome you to the kindergarten graduation. I'm looking very forward to see the new faces of all of the kindergarteners. Tonight I would like to introduce you to our teachers." A woman walked up and stood next to Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson said, "This is Mrs. Davis. She has been with us for ten years." Mrs. Davis sat back down and another woman walked up and stood by Mrs. Johnson. "This is Mrs. Williams. She has been with us twelve years," Mrs. Johnson said and Mrs. Williams went and sat down. Another woman walked up and stood by Mrs. Johnson. "This is Miss Hurt. This is her first year here, but expect great things from her," Mrs. Johnson said. "Now, I will dismiss you so that you can go find your child's teacher and get to know them," Mrs. Johnson said and everyone began to move around.
Emmett, Jackson, Masen, Melrose, Roseanna, and I walked out of the auditorium and stood in the lobby. "Who is their teacher?" Emmett asked.
I had written down on piece of paper in my purse and read it. "They have Miss Hurt," I said.
"Ok, let's go meet her," Emmett said and led the way to Miss Hurt's classroom.
We walked into the classroom and saw that there were several other parents and kids in the classroom. The woman that was on the stage was standing over by table that held cookies and juice. We walked over to the table and waited for the group to die down before we introduced ourselves. Emmett began eating some cookies and not paying attention. When the crown died down I walked up to the teacher and said, "Hello, I'm Rosalie Cullen and this is my husband Emmett Cullen." I turned to look at Emmett and he was shoving cookies in his mouth. "Emmett," I scolded. "Come say hello to Miss Hurt."
"Oh, sorry," he said. His voice was muffled by his mouth full of cookies. He swallowed and said, "Hello Miss Hurt."
The woman smiled and said, "Hello."
"Yes, well our quads are in your class," I said.
"Excuse me, did you say quads?" Miss Hurt asked.
"Yes, we have quads," I replied.
"Well I look forward to getting to know them," Miss Hurt said.
"Well, we have them here now if you would like to meet them now," I said.
"I would love to," Miss Hurt said.
I stepped to the side so that she could see the kids. "This is Jackson, Masen, Melrose, and Roseanna," I said indicating each of them.
"Aw, they are so adorable," Miss Hurt said. "Do you always dress them alike?" she asked.
"Usually I do but I always put something different to be able to tell them apart. Like on the girls they may be wearing different bows and the boys may wear different shoes. But more than likely I won't with them coming to school that way you can tell them apart," I replied.
"Ok, are they identical?" Miss Hurt asked.
"Yes, the boys are identical twins and the girls are identical twins," I replied.
"How did that happen?" Miss Hurt asked.
"I released two eggs and each split twice," I replied.
"Ok, well I look forward to having all of you in my class," Miss Hurt said.
"And we look forward to having them in your class," I said and then we left.
The next day I got up, took a shower, got dressed, did my hair and makeup, and then went and woke the kids up. Once they were up I left them to get dressed and then I went downstairs and cooked breakfast. Jackson was wearing a light blue Hurley shirt, a pair of dark jeans, and a pair of tennis shoes. Masen was wearing a yellow Hurley shirt, a pair of dark jeans, and a pair of tennis shoes. Melrose was wearing a light blue Ralph Lauren Polo dress and white tennis shoes. Roseanna was wearing a yellow Ralph Lauren Polo dress and white tennis shoes. They all looked so cute. I took pictures and then we all left the house so that I could take them to school. I walked them to their classroom and had the hardest time saying goodbye. It seemed like only yesterday that I was holding them for the first time.
Ok so I really hope you liked the first chapter on the sequel to Heart's Glory!
