Boring chapter, so I decided to update 2 times today. Plus I did promise a few of you another update depending on how many reviews I got. So here you go, and again sorry for it being really boring. I just had to write it in order for everyone to follow along with the whole going back to school stuff.
"You like it?" Edward asked as I looked around at our new house.
"I love it!" I gasped as I looked around at a beautiful ranch house. The entire yard was blocked off by a tall white fence. The 2 car garage was to the side of the house with a large room overtop of it. The property was set at the very end of the dead end road Just out of the city. Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett had a house across the street that was 5 times larger, with a huge pool in the backyard. The two houses were set back away from the road.
"Shall we go inside?" He asked taking my hand. Renesmee ran around her new yard excitedly. She ran ahead of us into the house.
As soon as we walked into the door the open living room had white carpet, and all of our furniture was placed perfectly in place. I walked down the hall into mine and Edwards room. We had our own bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, and once again I had a huge walk in closet thanks to Alice. Renesmee's room was bigger than her old room. Her own bathroom was just off of her room decorated in pink lace. She also had a walk in closet full of new clothes.
"It's perfect." I smiled, but faded as I started thinking. "But wait, aren't we supposed to be starting school?"
Edward nodded obviously waiting for me to ask that. "Our address is the same as across the street. No one ever comes to visit being that we don't go out of our coven to make friends. Since Renesmee is young she's more likely to be bringing home friends. We have a room over there," he gestured across the street, "Renesmee also has her own room. We will stay there whenever needed." He took my hand, and picked up Renesmee. "We have to go talk with Carlisle"
Once across the street I noticed the house was set up almost identical to the one in Forks. "Carlisle?" Edward called out as we walked through the front door. He walked around the corner smiling at us.
"Shall we?" Carlisle gestured to the dining room table where everyone else was sitting. Edward sat down with Renesmee on his lap, and I sat between him and Emmett.
"Ok now that we're all here," Carlisle stood at the head of the table with 7 folders in his hands. He walked around the table passing them out. I stared at mine with my name and the number 15 across the front in Carlisle's handwriting. I glimpsed over to look at Edwards which had his name and the number 16 under his name. Confused I looked over at Emmett's. His had his name with the number 17, Renesmee's had her name with the number 6. I realized the numbers must be the ages we're supposed to be.
"Ok, now you all are enrolled in High School, and Ness is in Elementary." If you all open your folders I laid out the new family tree." Carlisle started. The confusion must have shown on my face because Edward grabbed my hand and leaned in to whisper to me.
"He does this every time we move. This is just so we all have the same story incase someone asks." I nodded understanding. I opened my folder looking at the first sheet of paper. It had all of our names on it, but grouped differently.
"Bella, Edward, and Nessie are the Cullen's. Ness the youngest is 6, Bella is 15, and Edward 16. Alice and Emmett your going to take Esme's maiden name, Evenson , Alice at 15, and Emmett at 17. That leaves Rose and Jasper Hale. Rose your 16, and Jasper 17." Carlisle turned to the second page, and we all followed. "Ness, princess you're enrolled in kindergarten, Bella and Alice, since we're in the middle of the school year I decided to start you girls as Freshmen. Edward and Rosalie your sophomores, Jasper and Emmett your juniors. Now this is the youngest we can go. Bella and Alice are going to have to work hard to go down to such a young age. I figured it would be easiest for both of you since you have the youngest looking faces, and I'm sure Alice will figure out wardrobe." I glanced quickly at Alice and could tell she was already deep in thought as to what to put me in. "Any questions?" Carlisle asked finishing his lecture.
"I do." I whispered raising my hand. When everyone's eyes landed on me, I looked down at the table embarrassed.
"What is it Bella?" Carlisle asked.
"Well, Umm… ok so I can act like I'm 15, that's fine, but I have to act like my husband is my brother?" Everyone laughed and I was glad my face couldn't flush red anymore.
"Well," Carlisle started, looking from me, to Renesmee, then to Edward. "since Renesmee has grown to look more like you than Edward, I think we could get away with switching thing up a bit." Carlisle stopped to think, "Ok easy, Edward switch with Emmett, so it's Emmett, Bella, and Ness. Then Edward and Alice." Carlisle looked to Edward, and he nodded.
"Ok then, tomorrow is Monday, Ness your bus will be here at 8, and the rest of you classes start at 7:15." We all nodded, and Carlisle took Esme's face in his hands kissing her.
"I'm off to work," Carlisle turned to look back at all of us. "Oh, Edward, Bella, I think you should be the ones to explain to Nessie about the whole siblings situation." We both nodded. "And those need to come off." Carlisle glared down at our wedding bands, and my diamond ring.
"No, I, but…" I stuttered over my words not sure exactly what I wanted to say. Edward took my left hand, kissing the rings on my finger. Before I could react he swiftly took them off. "Edward!" I gasped cradling my now naked hand to my chest. Without speaking he took them and placed them on a gold chain, clasping it around my neck.
"It was you mother's. That's what your going to tell everyone." I nodded as I watched Edward switch his band from his left hand to his right.
"Ok honey, looks like we need to talk." Edward said taking Renesmee into the living room.
"You don't have to. I get it. Carlisle and Esme are my foster parents, and you're my brothers and sisters." Renesmee said looking at all of us. "But mom- I mean Bella and Emmett are my real brother and sister."
"That's right!" Emmett put his arm across my shoulders, "Don't mess with my little sister, I'll have to mess you up. No kissing and hugging around the halls either. You are only 15, remember that." I rolled my eyes shrugging his arm off or me.
"I think we should get her to bed." I said looking at the clock as I walked down the stairs from Alice's room.
"School!" Renesmee cheered. She was sitting on Jasper's back, and he was crowling around the room.
"I'm married to a 15 year old! Alice she looks so young." Edward stood up from the couch to look at me. I felt like an idiot, I had on low rise flare jeans with a peasant top, and matching flip flops. My hair pulled back in a messy bun, and no makeup on. Alice wore the same style, but she seemed to pull it off better than me.
"Your robbing the cradle bro, that's sweet!" Emmett laughed, but stopped when I glared at him.
" Not exactly, I'm 16 remember!" Edward pointed out. "Your still beautiful." Edward assured me. I just rolled my eyes, and held out my hand for Renesmee to take it. She said her goodbyes, and we walked back to our house.
