Told ya I'd start it!
To Galgalatz, They are trusting because that's all they know how to do, they thought it was normal for adults to behave as their parents did, that is a normal thing for abused children to do, I looked it up and one of my mates is adopted so I asked her and stuff. But don't worry they will have flaws to their personalities soon (that makes it sound like a good thing, it's not but you will soon see the effect of everything that's happened) sorry for all the confusion so yeah basically,
Chapter 6.
Esme's POV.
I'd spent all week decorating the kids rooms, I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I literally had nothing to do so I decided to decorate them, They were all done!
I was also making a play room, the paint just needed to dry before I could put toys and stuff inside.
The inspector was coming around today, I'd been cleaning all day, even the always calm husband of mine looked a tad nervous too.
Finally there was a knock at the door.
A tall blond woman stood there with a clip board and pen in her arm.
"Hello, I'm Samantha Hays; I'll be inspecting your house today." She shook our hands.
Carlisle invited her in.
Samantha Hays POV.
I walked in the hall and looked around, there were 2 coat racks; one at adult height and another at child level, and the shoe rack was in the corner out of the way so no one would trip.
I was led into a large kitchen which looked new with a black and white theme. All knifes were out of children's reach and the cupboard which supposedly had all the cleaning stuff had a child lock on. Everything was child friendly and very clean. I smiled as they led me to the dining room, a large dark brown wooden table was in the centre, there was those little child corner protectors on the corners. Then was the living room,
It was large and had 2 big black fabric sofas with red cushions, also one of those big spinny chairs that matched. There was a large book shelf in one corner of the room, with grown up books high up and children's books low down. The TV was plasma and very large, there were a lot of DVD'S but most of them were children's ones like Cat in the hat. And stuff like that.
Next was the downstairs toilet, it had a nice ocean theme. Then I was led up the stairs, the first door had a sparkly pink letter A on it, it's very normal for adoptive parents to decorate their future children's bedrooms before knowing if they were even getting them, it's easier anyway because it involves less house checks.
We walked in to a baby pink princess themed room.
The white bed had a princess net thing attached to the ceiling which was painted baby blue but had glow in the dark stars on. The bed had a pink duvet set and a few teddies too. The carpet was a cream colour and had a pink fuzzy footprint rug on. There was a small book shelf full of picture books which was next to the little pink desk. There was a large white toy box full of toys, then a large white wardrobe. There was a small plasma TV on the wall with a shelf of DVD'S underneath.
"Is it okay?" Esme asked.
"It's amazing, so cute." I smiled.
We headed to the next room, which a sparkly purple letter B on the door. It was also a princess theme but a purple one, it was very much like Alice's.
"Who designed this?" I asked in awe.
"I did" Esme blushed.
"Excellent job, you should go into business." I smiled at her.
We moved onto the next room which had a non-sparkly blue letter E on the door.
We walked in, I gasped.
The walls were an electric blue with the star thing on the ceiling. The carpet was cream with a blue fuzzy foot rug. The bed was a red race car one with soccer themed bedding. The room was all based on sports. Behind the door was a toy basketball hoop and there was a small basket attached next to it full of toy basket balls. There was a baseball beanbag in the corner of the room. There was a baseball shaped desk too. The white wardrobe had football, soccer, baseball stickers all over it. The TV was much the same as the girls'.
"I love it." I smiled.
"He said he liked sports." Esme shrugged.
They led me to the next room then, I was shocked when I walked in. It was a playroom. Jungle themed, painted on lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants, giraffes and parrots, then were the painted on trees and long grass.
In one corner there were cushions and beanbags with a bookshelf next to them. The next had a cupboard which was full of board games and stuff.
There was a huge alphabet rug in the centre of the warm coffee brown carpet.
The room was full of toys and games. It was so creative.
The garden was amazing too! This place was just awesome but child friendly too.
"I love your home." I said as I left.
"So do we pass?" Carlisle asked.
"Of course you do." I smiled then left.
Esme's POV.
One week later.
The phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hi Esme, It's Jade." I instantly smiled.
"Hiya Jade, how are you?" I asked.
"Fine thank you, I've called because you've passed and you're free to visit the kids." She said.
"That's wonderful! When?" I asked.
"How about tomorrow? During the afternoon then you can be here for when they come back from school."
I checked the calendar, we were free, Carlisle was off work that day.
"Yes we can, what time?" I asked
"3 if that's okay, they come home at 3:30."
"We'll be there." I smiled.
"See you then, bye Esme." She hung up.
I couldn't sleep all night, and all day I couldn't sit still, I was just so excited to finally see them. I did do some last minute painting in Alice's room, Carlisle helped.
Finally we went there.
Jade welcomed us in.
We sat in the living room with our drinks and chatted.
"I forgot to mention something." Jade said suddenly.
I gulped. "What?" We both said, alarmed.
"Well, The kids they are all behind in school, thy have been improving but not greatly, they missed 3 months of school at once and countless other days before then." She sighed.
"That's okay, we can always tutor them." Carlisle said, I sighed in relief that it wasn't anything that couldn't be solved.
The door opened, kids flooded inside, all talking away but went upstairs.
"Emmett, Bella, Alice, come back kids." Jade shouted.
We hadn't seen them; all the kids were like a blur.
They all came back down, looking worried but their face lit up when they saw us.
They looked healthier than 2 weeks ago, not as skinny and had more colour in their cheeks.
"Hi." They waved.
"Hi Kids!" Carlisle smiled.
They giggled, Carlisle knew it was his hair, when we were painting he got a pink streak of paint in his hair and we didn't have time to wash it out.
"What is it? Is there something on my face?" He asked, acting completely oblivious.
They laughed harder. Emmett was on the floor in hysterics.
"Something in my hair?"
They could hardly breathe they were laughing so much.
"You…..have…pink…..hair!" Emmett and Alice squealed between laughs.
"Pink hair?"
They nodded.
"Kids. Calm down!" Jade laughed while picking Emmett up from the floor. He was laughing so much that it was silent. I noticed how he looked slightly scared as Jade picked him up but was fine when he saw it was just Jade. Bella had calmed down now. Jade got Emmett and Alice some water.
"Someone's happy today." Jade smiled at Emmett who frequently started laughing every 2 seconds.
"I goaled 3 times today in soccer." He smiled proudly.
"That's good, did you learn anything good?" Carlisle asked.
"No, but we were reading Cat in the hat!" He grinned.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yep." He popped the 'p'
"Do you want a snack kids?" Jade asked.
They nodded.
"Emmett, go get everyone please."
He nodded and ran upstairs yelling "SNACK TIME!"
After 'snack time' Carlisle, Emmett, Bella, Alice and I all went to the park with Jade, Jim and Harry were looking after the kids. Jim and Harry are workers there.
I will try uploading some more soon, there is an emotional scene coming up soon so did you like it? Hate it? Please tell me! REVIEW!
