I don't own Twilight.
Phoenix, Arizona
"I can't believe we're leaving because of your mistakes!"
The teenage boy groans at his older sister's rant. He looks around the living room, trying to find his misplaced keys. He checks under the couch and in the piles of duffle bags.
"How long until we come back here, you idiot!"
He lets out another groan.
The teen feels a tap on his shoulder and turns around to find his brother. He gives him a questioning look as he hands him the keys.
"I thought you'd remember who went to get the truck, but with the complaining coming from her, I can't blame you for anything."
"I heard that!"
The brother ignores the threats of their older sister and gives the teenage boy a pitiful smile. He grabs an empty green duffle before heading upstairs. Before he reaches the second floor, the teenager yells, "Leave the duffle in your corner!"
"Noted."
The boy heads to the driveway and opens the back of the truck while reflecting on his actions that lead to the move.
He knows he shouldn't have done anything like all the girls suggested, but his overprotective personality won. He ignored everything the girls said about the situation and made everything worse. He should have listened and controlled himself more, but now they needed to move to Washington with their brother. They have to stay there until they graduate college.
He sighs at the amount of work one mistake is causing them.
"How are you doing there, hermano?"
"I'm alright, just hoping the banshee stops her yelling."
His youngest sister gives him a sympathetic pat as she follows him inside the house.
"Can I help?" she asks.
"It's not your responsibility," he said with a look of guilt.
"Then I'm only going to move my thing into the truck," she said while grabbing her belongings. She rushes to the truck, not caring about the teenager's objections.
After a few hours, everyone's belongings are in the truck. The teenagers spent the rest of their last night in the living room, reminiscing about their time here.
"Where are the other two?" questions the teenage boy while sitting next to his younger sister.
"They're cleaning up the last of the mess," said his younger brother, "They started in the morning, but they promised to be back before tomorrow."
Guilt set into him.
"I should be the one doing that!"
"They knew you were still feeling guilty, so they decided to let you mope by packing everyone belonging in the truck," she explains, "They cleaned up the mess while the rest of us finish packing."
Two people walk into the living room with dirt covering their clothes. The youngest of the two strolls up to the teenage boy and hugs him while the other throws her keys to the boy.
"Here's the plan," she said, "Lee and Val ride the truck to Washington. They're going to help set everything up. Liz, you made it, so you're going to help set it up. You'll be their first since you bought the first-class ticket."
"Gotcha," she responds as she snuggles closer to the boy.
"You'll also be in charge of those two."
"What! Why do I have to ride shotgun with him?"
"Because I know you gave Lee a hard time about everything while I was gone. It's also a part of his punishment for ignoring us," she said while giving the boy a look.
"I believe Lee's had enough, but it's your decision," said the brother.
"Wait, what bout Val and Bren?" questions Lee.
"We're going on a supply run in the Brittin and Russia before coming to Washington," she said, "We're running low, and I want some before going to school."
The two girls went to their rooms to shower before doing their assignments.
"So, we're going to see the kid again?" asked Lee while holding onto the girl.
"How many years has it been since we wrestled?" questions Val while reminiscing their feuds.
"Too long, but I know he'll beat me after telling him what happened here."
Everyone except their brother laughs.
Before everyone knew it, the two girls came down the steps and signaled it was time to leave the house.
Forks, Washington
Alice and Edward play chess in the living room while Emmett and Jasper play video games on the TV. Rosalie is looking at her new magazine, but she is mostly thinking about how much she dreaded returning to school in two weeks.
The front door opens, revealing Carlisle.
"Oh honey, how was work?" asked Esme.
"There were a lot of patients today," he says as she watches his kids, "Nothing new."
"Is there anything new in Forks?" Rosalie sarcastically asks.
"There is," said Esme.
"What the gossip in town, mom?" asked Emmett. He never is interested in hearing about anything that happens in Forks, but he's curious because people seem more excited now than ever. If people are this excited, then it must be compelling.
"Charlie's kids are coming to Forks High this year."
Everyone's interest is peaked.
Everyone in town knows about Charlie Swan and his service to Forks.
Since Charlie moved here, the crime rate has zeroed in less than a month.
He's earned awards for his excellent service and outstanding efforts to keep the community safe. Charlie is always looking for ways to improve the community. He's earned the respect of many people in Forks, including the Cullens.
However, Charlie's personal life is something most people don't know.
The only people who know anything about his life are Carlisle and Billy Black.
"His kids?" asked a bewildered Edward.
"He has kids?" asked a confused Emmett.
"Billy Black spread the word that Charlie's kids are coming to stay until they graduate from Forks High," she said, "People were shocked to find out that he adopted five kids when he lived in Phoenix with his wife, Renee."
"Wait, he was married!" said a shocked Alice.
"They divorced ten years ago," said the doctor.
"I want to hear more!" said a flabbergasted Emmett.
"Charlie and Renee adopted five children from an orphanage in California and New York. They adopted two boys and three girls. I don't know their names, but Charlie seems happy that his kids are coming to live with him."
"Maybe that's why he defends us when someone says something foul about us," said Edward with a smile.
"We probably remind him of his kids," said Alice with a sad smile.
"You'll see them when you go to school tomorrow," he said as he walked away to visit his study.
Everyone is excited to see the new kids, except for Rosalie. She didn't care for anything or anyone in this town besides her family.
She looks at her siblings and smirks.
They'll get over the news about the new kids in less than a week. It might take longer for the people of Forks since they don't live long like them, but it'll be quick.
After all, they're only transfer students.
AN: Welcome!
For those of you who followed my other Twilight fic, I'm sorry, but I deleted it. I kept messing it up, so I deleted it. I'll be working on it in private, but for now, I hope you enjoy this one.
