CHAPTER 21

Jane POV

I woke up in the morning feeling itchy. It wasn't the normal type of itch where you could just scratch it and it'll pass. This itch just wouldn't go away no matter how much scratching I did. Turns out I have rashes. How nice.

I knocked on the door of Carlisle's study. Hopefully, he was still here.

"Come in." he said and I opened the door.

"I think the kids put something in my clothes last night." I said while scratching myself. He nodded.

"Mrs Smith. Would you please call Alice into my study?" he asked and I nodded. "Thank you."

I went down to the living room. The devils were there laughing their heads off while Jasper and Emmett were playing with something in the television. Andrew was the first to notice me and coughed slightly.

The children turned around. Their expressions went from gleeful to serious.

"Can we help you Mrs Smith?" Edward asked.

"Carlisle wants Alice in his study." I said and Alice scowled. Her siblings snickered. Emmett muttered something that made Jasper glare at him.

Satisfied with the fact that Alice would probably get in trouble, I went to prepare breakfast. Carlisle stopped by after a while and said that he was going to be at work.

"Don't bother with breakfast for me Mrs Smith. I'll probably get something to eat on the way." He explained.

The kids just sat there, as usual, during breakfast. They stared at the food. Was my cooking that bad? I scowled at them. If they were never going to eat, I might as well not bother.

Emmett POV

Phase Five was going to be in action the whole day. We were going to annoy the pants off the woman. Hopefully, it didn't happen literally. She was staring at us with a big frown on her face.

"Why don't you eat the food?" she asked.

"Technically, you didn't say anything about eating. We only had to sit down together for meals." Andrew pointed out like the big geek he was.

"He has a point Mrs Smith." Edward said.

She scoffed and stalked away out of the kitchen. We grinned at each other. The plan was going perfectly.

Jane POV

After breakfast, the children scattered to different parts of the house. They could be surprising quiet when they wanted to. I had nothing else to do after clearing up the dishes so I went to see if I could find them.

I had long given up trying to find something to clean in this house. It was spotless. There was nothing else to do.

Carlisle came back around noon. The kids clamoured around him to greet him. He smiled at them and waited for them to calm down.

"Alright. Alice, you can take Mrs Smith to go shop for her new clothes."

Alice POV

Is he serious? Must I really do this? As if living with her wasn't bad enough. But, there was this one rule…

"I'm sorry Car – I mean dad, I can't take Mrs Smith shopping." I said and his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

"Why not?"

"Because it's a rule. We can't go shopping."

The rest of them grinned madly. Mrs Smith looked like someone had just impaled her with a particularly sharp stick.

I added, "Besides, I don't have my credit cards with me." I feigned an innocent smile and Andrew coughed softly.

"Just this one time, okay?" Carlisle said and I nodded. "Go on then. Might want to bring Rosalie with you. And don't forget to but lotion for the rashes."

Jane POV

Alice was positively bouncing as we went down to the garage. She was skipping like a kid on Christmas Day. Rosalie wasn't far behind her sister.

"Hurry up lady, or all the good stuff will be gone." Alice said.

Really, this was too much. Was there nothing else that this girl liked to do in her spare time? The only thing I have learned about her was shop, fashion, Jasper, siblings, and shop.

As for Rosalie, I wonder what her problem is. It was like she was made of stone. She had virtually no expression besides glaring and a pleased look. I had gathered that there were only a few things that this girl was interested in.

At the shopping mall, I trailed after the girls. Alice was bouncing over the place, definitely knowing where to go while Rosalie was trying to calm her down.

Turns out that I was the only one who needed lunch. The two girls just sat there waiting for me to finish looking bored. We spent the whole day at the mall. How do they do it?

We arrived home just after eight. There was laughter coming from the living room. I realized that everyone was there. Even Carlisle.

"There you are. We were wondering when you would be back." came a voice.

It was Isabella. She grinned at her sisters. "So, what did you get?"

"Well…" Alice began and I wandered away to get dinner from the kitchen. There was a note on the table. It read:

Dear Mrs Smith,

Made dinner for you ('cause of Carlisle). It's in the microwave oven. Hope you like lasagne. Carlisle also made me wrote this note (just thought you should know).

Andrew

I stared at the note. So one of the devils could cook. Andrew… Which one of them was Andrew? Was it the boarding school in England one?

The lasagne was actually pretty good. I finished up and washed the plates then went out to the living room. The two youngest children and Andrew were not in the room when I went out.

"Ah. Hello Mrs Smith, we're having family time now." Carlisle said.

Finally, proof that this family wasn't that bad. I came into the living room and got the shock of my live. The kids were playing strip poker and Carlisle had his back towards them.

"Why are they playing strip poker?"

"That's what they do Mrs Smith. I thought someone explained that to you before?"

"Stop it!" I yelled and the kids looked back.

"Sorry lady, we can't. It's the middle of them game." replied Emmett.

I scowled. Just when you thought they weren't so bad.

That's all for this chapter.
The story is nearly done.
