I do not own Twilight or Wife Swap
CHAPTER 2
Carlisle POV
Where's the video?" Esme asked. Alice ran up to get it then placed it into the DVD player. The screen flickered open and a shot of the house was shown.
"Hi, I'm Carlisle Cullen and this is my house." Emmett said in a perfect imitation of my voice. "I'll show you around. This is the kitchen, that's the living room…" Emmett continued to explain until he finished showing off the entire house. Then he turned to each and every one of our family members. Edward and Bella came first. The camera showing Edward playing the piano while Bella watched him.
"This is Edward. My first adopted son. He likes playing the piano and hanging out with his girlfriend Bella. I think he was depressed before he found her. Bella was adopted along with her brother, Emmett, after we found them without their parents. We still don't know who they are. Bella is also prone to clumsiness. " Bella and Edward growled at that but Emmett just grinned.
Next was a shot of Jasper and Alice reading in their bedroom. "This is my second adopted son, Jasper and his girlfriend, Alice. Jasper is fond of history especially the Civil War. He is very emotional and always looks like he's in pain. But don't worry he's not. Alice came after we adopted Jasper and his twin Rosalie. She's very hyper. We sometimes call her 'Pixie'. She is also addicted to shopping and can spend a lot on a single trip." Jasper and Alice glared at Emmett who beamed back.
The trouble maker himself and Rosalie were next. Rosalie was sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine. "This is Jasper's twin Rosalie. As you can see, she's very beautiful isn't she? She loves to shop like Alice and is very good with cars. She's also our family's mechanic." Rose gave a smile to Emmett who smiled back. Then a shot of a cardboard cutout of Emmett came on.
Wait… Why does he have a cardboard cutout of himself? "This is my third adopted son, Emmett. He's a strong person and loves playing pranks on his siblings. He also likes playing video game and spending time with his girlfriend Rosalie. Emmett might look big but he's harmless. He's also my favorite son." Everyone groaned at this and Emmett giggled.
Then came Nessie and Jacob. The camera showed them playing checkers together. "This is Renesmee or Nessie and Jacob. Nessie was adopted along with her brother Edward and is very close to both him and Bella. Jacob is the son close of family friends and we decided to adopt him after he lost both his parents in an accident. Jacob enjoys fixing up motorcycles and goes to a local collage. He also smells. A lot. Nessie is home schooled by Esme and the rest of the kids attend the local high school."
This part was received with a lot of complaints from the other kids. "Why are Nessie and Jake the only ones that sound sane?" Bella asked Emmett.
"Because dear sister, I didn't know what to say to make them sound like they were crazy." came back the reply.
A photograph of Andrew appeared on the camera. "This is my second youngest son. His name is Andrew. He isn't home right now as he is in England with his younger brother, Benjamin or Ben as we call him. He enjoys playing the violin and is often very depressed. When he's not depressed however, he enjoys playing pranks with his Emmett. Andrew is also prone to violent temperaments and has um… trust issues. Yeah, let's call it that." Esme looked at Emmett.
"That's not very nice Emmett. You made Andrew sound like someone with multi personality disorder." Emmett just shrugged. Andrew's mate, Sarah was next.
"This is Sarah, the younger sister of both Rosalie and Jasper. She makes very good wooden sculptors. She is currently Andrew's girlfriend and is close to Ben. She also does not enjoy shopping like Bella." I let out a sigh. At least someone was spared from Emmett's so called 'jokes'. Emmett looked at me from his place on the loveseat.
"Surprise! I didn't make a total weirdo out of her."
"Yes. And I'm very glad of that."
Jasper pressed the play button and the video continued. A photograph of Ben appeared on screen. The young boy was hugging his stuffed teddy bear that he called 'Mr Tedsworth'. "This is Ben, Andrew's younger brother. He is very close to Andrew and enjoys playing with Nessie and his siblings." I gave a sigh. Who trusted Emmett with the video camera in the first place?
"We did." Edward said from his place on the couch. I nodded at him and motioned Jasper to continue playing the video. There was a shot of Esme sitting in the garden tending to her plants. "This is my wife Esme. She fell out of a tree when she was sixteen and was never right again." Everyone glared at Emmett who said, "Sorry mummy." to Esme. Esme just said, "When this is over, you are in big trouble."
Jasper continued the video, "Esme likes gardening, cooking and taking care of the house. She works as an interior designer and is very good at it. She is unable to have children so that's why we decided to adopt." Then a shot of my in my study doing paperwork came on screen. "That is me in my study. I work at the local hospital and help save lives. I love my job and my family understands this and respects it." I snorted. "Emmett, you made me look like a complete workaholic." Emmett grinned at me.
"I'm just saying."
The camera was focused on the outside of the house. "Well, that's it. We hope you except us for Wife Swap. I think our family could benefit from the show." After a few minutes of stunned silence, the entire living room burst.
"I was never depressed!"
"Did you just make that nickname up?"
"I am not emotional."
"I do not smell!"
I sat there and let them calm down. "Ok. Meeting's over. Emmett, I hope you're happy because you're in so much trouble."
Esme looked worried when they went upstairs. "What if I attack them?" she asked.
"You won't love; I have faith in your control."
"I'll have to ask Alice what to do then."
With that, she got of my lap and went to find Alice. This is going to be the longest two weeks in my entire existence.
Pretty long chapter, I know you will get to meet the other family in the next one. Have a nice day!
