Chapter 2

Carlisle POV

Over the last two hundred years my family had gotten so big but I still felt that no matter how big it got we would never be whole without Bella. When she died it almost killed two of my sons. One because he just lost the love of his life and the other because the pain he was getting off everyone weighted him down so much in the end we had to send jasper to our friends in Denali. I looked around the room Bella's death had brought us Elizabeth and EJ who in turn had brought us Jacob and Leah. Leah didn't care much for us but she had warmed to me a little and because of her love for EJ she had vowed never to hurt us.

"Well everyone I called you all here because we need to go over our back story once again. Alice Elizabeth and EJ are in the 10th grade Alice"

I turned to her I knew she didn't like being so many grades behind jasper it would mean that they won't have any classes together but her smile told me she knew ever thing I was about to say

" you will please watch over the twins wont you. And about that Elizabeth and EJ will be pretending not to be twins just the same age. Elizabeth your older real" I gave air quotes around real "brother will be Edward. The two of you look so much alike except for the eyes it'll work well. Jacob Leah and Edward will be in 11th grade. I have a question for you Leah."

I turned toward her she usually didn't say much during these little family meetings. "Would you and Jacob mind playing like twins for us?"

Alice had already told me weeks ago that she had seen me enrolling them both as Black so I had done this already but it still made me feel better to ask her instead of order. "Sure I could be Leah Black this time and next time we could be Clearwater."

Jacob scoffed at this I don't think they ever will be Clearwater with the reaction he gave to the idea. "Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie I have you in the 12th grade. Jasper and Rosalie are twins once again. Next time well switch it up a bit more. Now that the school back story is done. Jasper and Rosalie you were adopted from New York ten years ago when you both were eight years old you were mine and Esme's first. Emmett and EJ you are Esme's brother's children. We adopted you after you after your father and mother were killed in a car accident four years ago. You two are from Ohio"

EJ and Emmett slapped hands "cool brothers" they both echoed.

"Alice sweetie you were orphaned at birth when you mom died giving birth to you. We adopted you six years ago at the age or ten. Elizabeth and Edward we got you 7 years ago from Chicago and we adopted Jacob and Leah two years ago from Forks." Everyone was nodding in approval.

Leah stopped nodding and asked me "so what s the story on why we move around so much?" I had just been thinking about this very question much though out the night. "Esme loves to redecorate houses so when she does a bunch she gets done and moves on to a new place to find more houses that need her help." I loved each one of my young "Children" "oh before you leave Edward and Jacob will be driving their cars to and from school. The Volvo and Pick-stand out the least of all the cars." With that they all left the room.

Esme walked over to me. "So Dr. Cullen you headed off to the hospital right away?" I nodded "I'll need to get s few things from there just in case. You should do some shopping the twins, Jacob, and Leah are almost out of food and I don't want a repeat of last night with the pizza boy. If we try to order pizza again that poor boy is going to break his neck trying to get up here with all the pizza." Esme grinned as she remembered the poor skinny teen almost breaking his neck climbing our stairs with over 10 pizza boxes. He had broken his ankle when he fell.
