My family is was complicated and confusing to me growing up. It wasn't because I was a foster child or my mama had multiple boyfriends. I just had an odd early years.
Let me explain when I was born I was given to the Cullens, only thing is I wasn't a Cullen I was a Swan.
Lets put it this way...
The Cullens, Esme and Carisle, were a sweet extreamly young couple , they were both from old money families and had grown up together and fallen in love. When they were 15 each, they were legaly married. I know scary right but their parents approved of the marrige and it was legal. Carilse and Esme were not wild like most teenagers their age, but they knew how to have fun. Thats why it came as no suprise when Esme became preganat at age 17. The happy young couple were thrild . Then there was the Swans another young couple although not nearly as young as the Cullens were. When Renee and Charlie Swan were married, and had their fist child Charlie was 24 and Rennee 22 . The Swans had happily been living in Poinix when their child was born. The Cullens who live in Forks Washington however were visiting when Esme whent into labor a week earlier than she was expected to. They ended up at the same hospital, not knowing each other. But how are they connected? The hospial had been short on staff and somewhere in the mix up The Swans had a Cullen and The Cullens a Swan. Nearly impossible but true. Neither of the couple wanted to know the sex of the baby and somehow theye got mixed up.
The two childeren grew up happily until they were both 8 and the truth was found out. Edward Cullen had been living with the Swans and Isabella Swan had been growing up thingking that she was a Cullen. With no other choice the two children were switched but even though they were in their rightful spots it was still unbelivebly weird for the next few years. Edward and Isabella never met and as they grew up both kept in touch with he first family that raised them.
They never met or talked to one another, Isabella and Edward, that is until their 17th birthday finally arrived.
