Leanne POV
I walked through the front door of our two-storey home.
"Kids? Kevin?" I called looking around for my family.
"MOMMY!" My five year old Casey slammed into my knees, I yanked her up.
"Casey!" I scolded. "Why on earth are you behaving like an animal? And why do you have jam on your dress? That is your church dress!"
She hung her head in shame. We Marsh's were firm Christians, and had been to church that morning, before I had gone to get food.
"I told you to get out of that the minute you got home!"
Sorry mommy!" she mumbled as I put her down. "But daddy said that we could play while he worked, so Jack and Derek and I were painting with jam!" She giggled.
I sighed and shook my head. at the thought of my nine year old twin boys. They were going through a troublesome phase, and tried to keep causing mayhem.
"Where is your father?" I asked.
"In his study!"
"Okay, well you go get changed, and make sure your brother's get changed." She nodded and ran off.
That girl was such a handful! My daughter Emily was never that bad as a young child! She would obey my rules and didn't run around like a wild child. I always thought she was perfect, until last week.
Flashback
"Emily! It's your turn to do laundry!" I burst into Emily's room, but it was empty.
Oh that's right, she was doing an algebra course at school. I saw a yellow notebook thrown on the bed, and my curiosity got the better of me. I opened it cautiously and read the entry for the day.
Dear diary,
mom thinks I'm going to an algebra course, they don't even exist! How can I tell her that I'm going to see my boyfriend? She's so strict! I have to hide all my normal clothes in boxes in my closet! And I have to have them stuffed in a bag so that I can change out of the crappy clothes mom buys! I so hope she gets this Wife Swap thing she's going on about! Two weeks without her! I love her and all but I wish she would back off!
Emily
I couldn't believe it! Emily was my good child! I went to her closet and pulled out three boxes. The clothes in there were despicable! Tight tops that show the stomach! Strapless tight dresses! Shorts! I put all the boxes away and ran out of the room. I wouldn't tell her I knew.
End flashback
I hadn't told her, but I had canceled her "algebra courses", saying her maths was a lot better. I thought back to the news at present. I had gotten a big envelope this morning from Wife Swap, but I didn't want to open it without Kevin.
"Kevin dear?" I said. My husband jumped up from his computer and kissed my cheek.
We'd been married nineteen years, since I was eighteen. At first I felt I committed a sin by marrying so young, but I loved Kevin with all my heart. We had five children. Tommy who was seventeen, Emily who was fifteen, Jack and Derek who were nine, and Casey who was five.
"Hi honey! What's that?" he pointed to the envelope.
"It-it's from Wife Swap!" He smiled, his eyes glinting, I wondered why he pushed me so much to apply.
"Should we open it?" he asked me. I nodded and he read the letter.
"We got in!" he said happily hugging me. I hugged him back. "Let's tell the kids!"
"Kids!" I cried as we walked into the living room. "Come in! We have news!"
"Aw please don't tell me you're having another kid!" Tommy whined.
"Thomas! Don't be rude! Anyway, as I was saying, we have been accepted on Wife Swap!"
"Wow really?"
"Cool!"
Those were the reactions of my oldest children.
"I'll miss you mommy!" Casey whispered cuddling up to me.
"Us too mommy!" Derek and Jack said in unison.
"I'll miss you all too! But you must promise to behave for the new mother, and just because I am not there does not mean you bunk off of prayers!"
They all nodded.
"Good, now I will make us some beef stew for dinner, you have one hour!"
They all walked off to do their own things and I walked into the kitchen, contemplating what would happen in the next two weeks.
Emmett POV
"Aw come on Rose!" I'm sorry!" It had been three days since we'd got the Wife Swap letter, and Rose was ignoring me. "I've missed you!" I pouted sliding my arms around her waist. She scoffed.
"Yeah right you dumbass! You missed sex!" I smirked.
"Yeah that too! But you know I love you! And I really do miss you!" She sighed.
"Fine I forgive you! But if you EVER pull a stunt like that again, I will tear off your manhood and burn it to ash! Got it?"
I widened my eyes in fear and nodded trembling.
"Y-yes Rose!" she smiled and leaned in to kiss me.
"Oh and Emmett?" she says. "We are going to have to pretend to not be together in front of the new mom, so know sex for two weeks!"
"NOOOOOO!" I shout dropping to the floor. "What have I done!" I bang the floor, how could I be so stupid?!
"Emmett!" Damn! Can't a guy have some peace?"
We walked to the living room where they had shouted me from. The whole family were gathered there. Bella was sitting beside Edward and Renesmee was in his lap, Jacob was standing protectively over her. Alice and Jasper were cuddled up and Esme and Carlise were sitting in the two armchairs. Rose settled down on one of the loveseats.
"Emmett, we want to watch the video!" Alice squealed. Damn! If I weren't a vampire I'd be deaf by now with her around.
Edward chuckled and I smirked.
Stay out of my head Eddie-boy!
I threw in a visual of Rosalie and I making out to which he growled at me and turned away.
"What video?" I asked.
"The Wife Swap one!" Esme said smiling slightly. She had gotten used to the idea, and hoped the new family had a young child.
"Oh! Right!" I ran out of the room in vampire speed and returned setting the T.V up. Carlisle threw me the remote.
I hit play grinning.
A picture of the Cullen mansion comes into view.
"Hello! My name is Carlisle Cullen!" a voice off screen said.
"That sounds nothing like me!" Carlisle protested. I snorted. "Okay it sounds very accurate!" he admits frowning.
I roll my eyes and we turn our attentions back to the video.
"I am a surgeon at Forks hospital and I am 37 years old!" A picture shows of Carlisle in scrubs.
"My wife Esme and I have been married for fifteen years! Oh look! Here she is now!" The video shows Esme gardening outside, with a giggling Renesmee watching.
"She is a lovely, beautiful woman and I can not believe how lucky I am to have met her!"
"We have eight adopted children. Four girls and four boys. Emmett is our oldest, he is eighteen. His parents could not care for him when he was young, so we adopted him aged eight." The video shows Emmett lifting weights. He grins at the camera.
"Who did you get to video that bit?" Bella asks me.
"Oh I already had it." Everyone stares at me in confusion.
"What? I look hot!"
"Our second oldest is Jacob. He is also eighteen. He has only been with us for five years, but loves everyone dearly, especially Renesmee." The video shows Jacob playing chess with Renesmee. "Jacob's parents died, and Jacob still has a couple of issues about it, making him quite angry sometimes."
"I do not have anger issues!" Jacob whined. "I'm a werewolf which makes me more stressful!" He folds his arms and sulks.
"Our next children are Jasper and Rosalie, they too are eighteen and are twin siblings. They had been in foster care their entire lives until we adopted them when they were nine. As a result of this, it takes a while for Rosalie to warm up to people, but she is a great person once she lets you in. And Jasper has emotional issues which he is working through. He is also a bit unstable but a generally lovely person." The video shows Rose working on a car, and Jasper reading a civil war book.
"Aw thank you baby!" Rose says kissing me.
"It's true!" I smile at her. "You're beautiful, inside and out."
"I do NOT have emotional issues!" Jasper cries ruining the moment."And I am NOT unstable!"
"You can get a million issues at once! Is that stable? I think not!"
He scowls at me and I grin triumphantly.
"Our next oldest child is Edward. We adopted him when he was five, so we think of him as our first born in many ways. His parents both died of a disease, and Edward spent three months in hospital battling the same disease. He can be a bit moody and snappy, but is a warm friendly guy who is a great role model to his brothers and sisters." The clip is of Edward playing the piano concentrating deeply.
"Thanks bro, love you too,"Edward grins. I cough embarrassed.
"Hey, don't get all sappy on me Eddie boy! But uh, yeah, love you too..." I mumble to which he grins again.
"Next is Bella. She too is seventeen. She came to us around the same time as Jacob and has a close bond with Edward and Renesmee. Her parents gave her up for adoption when she was seven and she spent five years in foster care until we adopted her. As a result of this, she is a bit shy and self conscious, but has a great personality that makes us all smile."
"That was actually pretty nice! Thanks Em!"
"No problem Bells! Anything for my favourite little sister!"
"HEY!" Alice screams. I roll my eyes.
"Al, everyone knows that Edward is your favourite brother and you're his favourite sister! And the same for Jas and Rose! So Bella is my favourite!" I say logically.
"Oh my god!" Bella gasps. "That was SMART!" I scowl.
"I take it back! Alice you're my favourite!"
"My next child is Alice. She has been with is since she was seven and she is seventeen. She is a bit hyperactive, and loves shopping. Her mother committed suicide when Alice was young, and her father had been in and out of jail on a number of occasions. She acts very childish at times, but has a good heart...and a lot of credit cards."
"The baby of our family is Renesmee or Nessie. She is ten years old and has been with us all her life as her mother and father were too young to care for her. She is bubbly, happy and a very beautiful young girl. She has formed a close bond with Edward, Bella and Jacob, and relies on them a lot, as well as myself and Esme. She knows she is adopted, but thinks of us fully as her parents." The clip shows Renesmee squealing as Edward gives her a piggyback ride and Bella laughs by them.
"I hope you consider us for your wonderful show, as we think our family has a lot to offer. Thank you."
"Well that was actually pretty nice!" Carlisle approves.
"Thanks! Now Rose and I need to go...now!" I scoop her up and run upstairs.
"Uh...Nessie how bout we go hunting?" I hear Jacob say.
"Okay Jakey, why?"
"Cuz it'll be fun! Now come on!"
I chuckle and kiss Rose softly.
"Better make the most of it! Twp weeks off remember?"
I groan. Why did I do it?
A/N: I hope you liked it! The other family are quite strict aren't they? Did you guys like the Emmett bit? It was fun to write! Next chapter will be the swap.
