Chapter 2:
Years went by, and the Cullens stay in New Hampshire was at an end. The children of Carlisle and Esme just graduated from Dartmouth, and a new move was on the horizon. No mention of swapping until the night after their ceremony.
"So, Bella have you given any more thought to swapping?" Rosalie asked on their shopping trip for their vacation.
"We are not pressuring you, but Rose and I are even if you and Edward do not agree this time around." Alice added.
"I have thought about it. How do you decide who goes with who?" Bella questioned.
"Normally, names in a hat." Rose shrugged.
"Let me talked this over with Edward." Bella answered.
"So you are all for it?" Alice asked excitedly.
"Not all for it, but willing to give it a shot. I do not want him to grow bored with me, but I am curious." She admitted shyly.
Later that night, when Bella and Edward were out hunting, she timidly brought up the subject. "Edward, Rosalie and Alice are discussing swapping for our next move."
"Huh." Was all the reply Bella received.
"Is that something you want to do?" She continued.
"Bella, why are you bringing this up?" He asked.
"Well, you must of liked it to participate in it. I don't want to take away in what you did before you met me. I want you to be happy, and maybe Alice had a point. I really do not like some of those things that you like to do, and you should get to do them. There are things I would like to try that you have not agreed to it also." Bella reasoned.
"I don't know about this Bella. Could you really handle me having sex with either of them?" He questioned seriously.
"I know you love me with all your heart Edward." Bella smiled warmly. "I am new to this family, but I don't want to be the end of things that you do, or your family does."
"How long is this switch going to last?" He asked.
"A little over a year. Starting with the vacation, and ending when we arrive in Maine in time for school to start next year." Bella told him.
"If you're sure, we can give this a try. But, at if any point, you feel uncomfortable or anything, you tell me and we stop this." He agreed reluctantly and sealed the deal with a kiss before they made their way back to the house.
Alice was bouncing down in joy when Jasper got home from his outing with Emmett. "What's going on?" He laughed.
"Bella's in!"
The morning of their departure for their vacation everyone could be found in the living room staring at a tuxedo hat. Carlisle and Esme were present just like every other time, because they secretly enjoyed watching the events unfold, and the subtle changes it rendered in their children.
"Who's first?" Rosalie asked.
"I thought Bella." Alice smiled as she offered the hat to her.
"Um…okay." Bella said nervously as she reached her hand in and pulled out an envelope, and passed the hat to Rosalie.
Once Rosalie and Alice had their envelopes, they exchanged a glance each and began to open them at vampire speed in curiosity.
"Well?" Edward asked anxiously.
"I got you lover boy." Rosalie laughed.
"Emmett." Alice sang.
"Jasper." Bella said nervously.
Jasper looked at Bella and gave her an encouraging, but timid smile as well. She returned it with a half confused smile.
'Oh lord, what did I just get myself into?' Bella thought.
