The way back home
Chapter 1
BPOV
So here I was, sitting in the back of the minivan again, on my way to yet another town. Carlisle my adoptive father is a Doctor and gets moved around the country a lot to different hospitals, so we as a family all move around with him. He always says that once we find somewhere that feels like home then we will all stay. We hadn't found that place yet so we are moving to a new town for the 6th time this year.
We haven't stayed in one place for more than 3 months in two years, and I'm pretty certain this next place is going to be no different. It's cold and rains far too much for my liking. The last time we were in a cold place we stayed for Two weeks, Esme, my adoptive mother, said that she couldn't handle those conditions. So we moved to Florida.
Carlisle and Esme were both kind and loving and anything you could ever want in parents, which is exactly what me and my adoptive brothers and sisters need but never got from our birth Parents. There's Alice Cullen and Rosalie Hale, my two best friends and sisters, and Jasper Hale, Rosalie's twin brother and Alice's boyfriend, then there is Emmett Cullen, Rosalie's Boyfriend. I've known Emmett the longest we were both adopted by the Cullen's at the same time when I was 1 and Emmet was 2. Then Alice was adopted when I was nearly 3 and Emmett was 4. Us 3 all took Carlisle and Esme's last name, as we were so young when we were adopted they are the only parent we remember, in fact we all thought they were our real parent till I was 13 when they told us.
Flashback
"Alice, Emmett, Bella!" I heard Carlisle yell from downstairs "come down stairs your mother and I need to speak with you"
As I exited my room I met Emmet and Alice on their way downstairs too, we gave each other quizzical looks and all shrugged at the same time and headed into the dining room where Carlisle and Esme were seated around the table waiting for us
"Please take a seat" Carlisle started "now I'm sure you are wondering what we need to speak with you all about, so I will just cut to chase. About 15 years ago your mother was a horrible Car accident which meant that she was left infertile"
I looked to my left and right at Alice and Emmett who both wore confused expressions on their face which I am sure was similar to the expression on my face too. I looked over at Esme who was looking down at the table obviously still pained by the memory.
"So when we realised that we couldn't have children naturally, we decided to adopt and 3 years later we got Emmett and Bella, and then about 2 years later we got Alice. Your mother and I feel that you deserved to know this, however we would like you to know we love you all the same as we would even if your were genetically ours" Carlisle took a deep breath and let it out shakily obviously scared of what our reactions will be
"I would also like you to know that even though I didn't carry you inside me for 9 months, that doesn't mean that you aren't my children, and I love all 3 of you with all my heart no matter what"
My mind was racing I didn't know what to say, and I didn't chance a look at Alice or Emmett knowing that they were going through the same thought processes as I was. All I kept thinking was somewhere out there is my birth parents, who gave me away because they didn't want me or worse I wan an orphan, and I was lucky enough to get taken in and brought up by people that do love me, so what if they don't share my DNA, they are still my parents in the eyes of the law and in my eyes.
I looked up at Carlisle and Esme who looking at us expectantly and I smiled at both of them. I stood up walked around the table and hugged both of my parents, showing my infinite love for them both. Moments later I felt two more arm wrap around us, and the 5 of us stood there hugging. When we all released each other I looked at them both and their faces with filled with relief. It broke my heart that they thought we would be mad at them for loving us, raising us and giving us a wonderful life.
"I love you both" Alice said, the first person to speak since the news was said
"Me too" I followed
"Ditto" Emmett also said using his well known skill of lightening a mood
"We love you too" Esme and Carlisle both said at the same time
End Flashback
About a month after that Carlisle and Esme told us they wanted to give more children what they have given us, A loving environment, a safe place to stay and grow up and a place where they can be themselves. So they adopted, and that's when Jasper and Rose were added to our family, both the same age as Emmet.
For both couples they claim it was love at first sight. With Emmet and Rose, they had both finally met their matches. They argue at least once a day but are still madly in love. Alice and Jasper just prove how true the phrase 'opposites attract'. Alice is a tiny bubble of energy with black hair and green eyes and Jasper is lanky and mellow with blonde hair and blue eyes. Although they are complete polar opposites I can't imagine a better suited couple.
All 4 of my siblings are insanely attractive and all look like they belong on a run way, and then there is me. Plain Bella Cullen.
"Come on guys were here!" Emmett yelled as the entrance to our long driveway to our new home came into view. The new house is very secluded on the outskirts of town. Our own sanctuary as Esme called it.
Once we pulled in front of our beautiful new home Carlisle opened the door and let us all out of the rented minivan. He insisted on having all out cars and belonging moved here before us so we could all come as a family.
Emmett walked over to the side pulled out his pen and notepad and announced "time to place your bets, I give it 2 months. Rosie?"
"2 weeks"
Emmett turned to me expectantly. "Errrrmm, I'm gonna say a month and a half"
"Ali?"
"I don't know guys; I have a feeling about this place. I think it's a keeper" Alice said with a thoughtful look on her face
"Yeah right Alice, what are you a psychic? Anyway, jazz what about you? "
"Well I'm not betting against Alice, you know she's hardly ever wrong about these things, so I'm saying it's permanent too"
"okay all bets have been made, hand over you money please" we all placed our 10 dollars along with Emmett's in his out stretched palm, he tucked them all into his notepad and returned it to his back pocket. After that we all turned to the huge 3 story white house, which was now our new home, ready to start out new life, in the dreary town of Forks.
AN: okay so this is my first attempt at writing anything ever, so if anyone actually ever reads this then any ideas/help is hugely welcomed
with the whole adoption thing i did that reaction because i talked to my mum who is adopted about what she did when she found out, she said that at first she was angry and sad and stuff, but afterwards she wished she could go back and change how she reacted because her adoptive parents just saved her from people that didnt want her and welcomed her into their family, and how could she be annoyed about that?
so i hope you liked it
reveiw :D
