ESME'S POV
The limo had arrived now, after a couple of shots from half a dozen of cameras we were ready to film the goodbyes.
With a sign from the people of the camera crew I approached Bella and Edward.
"I will miss you both" I said to them.
"We will miss you too, mom" My hearth melted when they called me mom. I love when they do that.
"Keep the boys on line Bella."
"I will." She smiled sweetly.
"And Edward, even if the new mom 'bothers' you, please, compose yourself."
"I will" He said. I hugged them.
I approached Alice and Jasper. Before I could even talk, Alice spoke.
"I'll miss you. Lots."
"I will miss you too Alice. And you Jasper." I said to them both.
"I will miss you too, mom." Jasper normally didn't call me 'mom'. My hearth melted again.
"Alice, Jasper, you know the powerful pair you make when you pair up. Especially with Edward and Valentine. So I ask you, please, don't 'kill' the new mom." I said the word 'kill' in a mocking tone, but they knew I was serious.
"Don't worry…" They said together.
I approached Rosalie and Emmett.
"I'll miss you mommy." Emmett gave me a bear hug.
"I'll miss you too."
"What have we done, what have we done…" Rosalie muttered while hugging me.
"It's OK dear."
"Emmett, you can prank the new mom, but don't do something that can hurt her. Rosalie, if the new mom bothers you just ignore. Ignorance is there for something. OK?"
"OK. Don't worry."
I approached Valentine.
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too Esme." She hugged me hard. "I wish you didn't have to leave."
"Like I said to Rosalie, if the new mom bothers you, use something very useful called 'ignorance'. And like I said to Alice and Jasper -you, Alice, Jasper and Edward are a powerful bunch; you know what you are capable of doing together."
"Don't worry Esme."
Then, by last, but certainly not least, my soul-mate, my husband, my everything, Carlisle.
"We never stayed this long without seeing each other…"
"I know…"
We hugged until the horn of the limo was heard.
JASMINE JONHSON POV
I was leaving my perfect family to be the 'new mom' for some Cullen family. I didn't like that idea, but, this was my opportunity to appear on national TV and show how a perfect family behaves. And hopefully, to teach some manners to the other family.
By watching many Wife Swap episodes, I knew that the families were most of the time opposites. So the only reason that they selected me was because, out there, exists a family that I would never get along well.
Already inside the limo, I was informed that I would be going to some place called 'Forks'. 'Forks'? Maybe there's a place called 'Spoons' too; who knows?
After a couple of hours I saw a sign that said 'Welcome to Washington', so Forks is in Washington? An hour or so passed and I saw another sign, this time saying 'Welcome to Forks'.
I could notice that everything around me was surrounded by trees. Not so long after, we turned to a dirt road in the middle of the forest. Where does this family live? Are they so poor that they have to live in the middle of the forest?
Great, this was perfect. Probably they are an uneducated family with 5 or 6 children that are on drugs.
A couple of minutes passed and I could start seeing a meadow with what looked like a huge house in the middle. My vision of the family changed completely, 1 or 2 spoiled kids with parents that are never home. And if they didn't take drugs, they sold them. There was no way that someone could be this rich.
After a while the limo stopped in front of the house. After the camera men that came behind us came out and settled up the cameras, I came out.
The house was more like of a mansion, it had a modern aura but it had probably more than 100 years, and still, it could harmonize perfectly with the surroundings. It almost looked like the house was too a tree that was meant to be there since the very beginning.
Once inside the house, I headed to the living room. Many couches and chairs were visible and a huge – about 70 inches TV was hanging on the wall. 2 shelves – one with video games and another with movies – were, one on each side of the TV. The room was all decorated with browns.
Next I went to the dining room and a long table surrounded by 10 chairs was placed in the middle of the division. Some paintings were hanging on the wall. Originals with no doubt.
Then I went to the kitchen, everything was of stainless steel and had every new appliance that you could imagine. I opened the fridge and saw many vegetables, fruit, soy milk, and tofu steaks. Vegetarians? How could they live without meat? Back home me and my husband even hunted to save money.
I went to the 2nd story. The first door was a room. It was decorated with lime greens, browns and reds. The bed was even bigger than a king size and there were many fashion magazines on the top of it. In the wall there were authentic war artifacts. In the room there were also 2 more doors. One of them was a bathroom, and the other one a closet. The closet was about the size of the room. At first I thought it was a girl's room, but a small section of the closet was filled with man's clothes. A girl and a boy share a room? That was wrong.
The 2nd door was also a room. This time it was decorated with blues, browns and whites. The bed – again – was bigger than a king size. In one of the corners of the room there was a grand piano, and in one of the walls there was a shelf filled with music and literature classics. The 2 doors were present in this room. The bathroom looked the same and the closet also had both genders clothes.
The 3rd door was another room. It was decorated with reds, leopard print, and golden. One of the walls was completely covered with mirrors. The bed was even bigger than all the other ones. A vanity with all the possible beauty products was in the opposite wall to the mirror. Again, the 2 doors were there. I didn't bother to open the doors again.
The 4th door was too a bedroom. It was a black themed room with some kind of old style that I couldn't recognize. The bed was a king sized one and on top of it was a notepad with a 'Do not open' warning. It had 1 shelf filled with classic books. A chair and a small table were in a corner of the room and had what looked like a tablet on top. The closet was filled with some old styled clothes that matched the style of the room.
The 5th door was a study/library. It was huge and occupied the same space of all of the other rooms combined. It had shelves and shelves of books. Trough that maze I found an office desk, leather chair and a computer. In – by my sense of direction – what looked like the opposite side of the room, a quilt was laid down on the floor with many open books and a writing machine. It looked like a scene out of a movie.
Thinking back, the whole house looked like a reality show mansion.
Directed by the camera crew, I entered a door that I had forgotten. It was another bedroom. This bedroom had a different aura on it. All of the other rooms had a mature yet childish aura, but this one looked like it belonged to older people. The room had a warm felling on it, once inside the room it looked like all of your worries disappeared. Whoever this room belonged was a lucky person.
The 3rd story was a one division room. It had a wall filled with TVs and to each one was connected a console. In the middle of all of that TVs there was a giant one – even bigger than the one from the living room. The other wall had clothes hanging; clothes like the ones you see on price awards with all that Hollywood glam, and others were costumes, wigs and accessories. On the opposite side to the door you had all sorts of gambling tables and machines that you could find on a casino, and on the other side you had a shelf filled with table and card games. On the floor a game of 'Battleship' was at half way played. In one side the ships were strategically placed, and on the other they were forming an 'E'.
Again, I had forgotten a door. I opened the door and I gasped. It was a music room. It was filled with all of the instruments you could imagine, and in one of the corners of the room you had a small stage like the ones you see at concerts. A small shelf was against the wall and had all the appliances to play any instrument in that room, amps for the guitar, bows for the violin…
I followed in front of the camera crew to the garage. The garage was huge and had 6 cars and 2 motorcycles, but it still had plenty of space left. All of the cars were from expensive brands, and probably if I sold one of those cars I'd have money for the rest of my life.
"Now, go to the front porch, the family is coming." One of the members of the camera crew said.
