To anyone who is actually reading this Chapter, and has done so before, I have made some changes to this so...
Disclaimer: Ummmm... if I, could I, would I, should I... tell you what I'll leave it as I have never and shall never be the rightful owner of anything remotely related to Twilight. Shame...
Carlisle's POV
Esme and I had returned from a hunting trip. Our children had been driving us insane, so we got a little pay back for them; we were surprised when they didn't retaliate back. Sometimes all you have to do is show them up, and the fall into place.
"Just going to go get the mail, see you inside." Esme said.
I hurried up to the house, and was yet again surprised to see that the house was still intact, it was also too quiet. I open the front door slowly, half expecting Emmett to jump out at me, attempting to scare me, but no...
"Hey dad, were in the living room." Edward called out to me.
I stepped into the living room to see that they were all watching a movie together. Bella was sat with Rose on one couch; Nessie and Alice were on another. The boys, apart from Jacob, were sat on the floor playing a card game. Jacob was sat in the only chair that spins. Okay?
Everyone smiled at me, once they saw me. "We're watching Freaky Friday, wanna join us?" Alice asked.
This is too good too be true I thought Have I entered some parallel universe or is a massacre about to occur any moment now?
"Carlisle, we did as you asked and decided to get along. We realized that we needed to put away our differences and act normal." Edward commented. "And as for the massacre, don't hold your breath too soon,"
I look at him for a moment, but he wont look at me, actually none of them will look at me, what on earth is going on?
"FAMILY MEETING NOW!" I heard Esme yell, storming through the front door
We all headed into the kitchen were Esme was, after all, all family meetings were conducted in the kitchen or at the Dining table. She was holding a letter in her hand. She was almost shaking in fury, this couldn't be good.
"Someone explain to me what this is, and why?" she eventually asked.
There was a pause for a moment.
"We're going on Wife Swap" Everyone, but Jacob and Nessie, replied.
"Wife Swap?" I asked in shock
"Come on Carlisle, did you really think we wouldn't get back at you for what you did to us?" Alice replied
"Where's the video at, I want to see it now?" Esme whispered.
"Sure Esme..." They all ran out of the room to get a tape.
After they had found it they put it on for Esme and I to see. Esme collapsed into the nearest seat, whilst I stood just behind her, no way was I going to be sitting down at the moment.
"Hello!" A voice that sounded remarkably like mine said. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. Me and my wife Esme..."
It cut to a clip showing Esme cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. A brief clip at that as well, wonder when they managed to get that?
"... Have adopted 8 children who all live with us. We have two sets of twins, Jasper and Rosalie, we have fostered them since they were 8 years old..."
It showed Jasper and Rosalie working in the garage together. "Hi my name is Jasper and this is my little twin Sister Rose"
"I'm only a minute younger than you" Rosalie on screen complained. "Stop making me look like a damsel in distress brother dearest,"
Jasper gave her little apologetic smile, and she smiled back before they returned to fixing up a car.
"...my other sets of twins are Edward and Renesmee. They both came to us when they lost their parents in a car accident, we were their godparents..."
They clip on screen showed Nessie and Edward messing about in the garden, play fighting. No words were spoken only a 10 second clip was shown of them laughing and messing around.
"Daddy, is that what you were doing?" Nessie questioned.
"Yeah, that's why I told you not to say the words Dad, Daddy or Father for the hour." Edward told her.
Back on the screen it cut to Alice and Bella talking about shopping and books. They are in what looks like Alice's room surrounded by who only knows what.
"... These are my other two daughters Alice and Bella. They love to shop, especially Alice she's a shop-a-holic, and read books, but they do get into arguments a lot, oh and look here comes one of my other sons Emmett."
"Hi Dad... girls the boys wanted to know if you wanted to join in with our game, but I must warn you it may turn into a fight."
At that the screen cut off, it suddenly showed Jacob standing in the kitchen making him-self something to eat.
"... and finally this is my son Jacob, Jacob was the last to join our family, but he is fiercely protective of the family."
"My ass." Jacob said "I'm only protective of Nessie, and you all know it."
"Well it wouldn't come out right if we said that Jacob." Edward snapped.
Finally on screen it showed me working in the hospital, and reading in my personal office.
"... I am a Doctor at the local hospital. When I am not at the hospital I can be found studying in my office. Thank you for looking at this, I can't wait to see if you will include us in your show."
Esme POV
Wife Swap. Of all of the things they could have done to get us back for what we did they signed us up for Wife Swap. I remember that we've sometime had the T.V on watching this particular show, and if I were to categorise my family, we would most definitely be the dysfunctional side of it all. As for the families that are strict, I shudder every time, my favourite part of the show is when the disorganised lot have to come into structure, and the organised lot get to loosen up a little and have fun.
But I'd never thought my family would put us up for this. I mean look at us, we aren't your average every day family, we're vampires, or have they forgotten that.
Sorry I'm off on a rant, why my children don't think these things through I will never know. Then again...
This could help to build up the family, and I have always wanted to help benefit others, but... being away from my family, that's gonna hurt, I love them too much, my family are my life, honestly how would they cope without me keeping them in line, no wonder why I feel like I am actually there mothers at times, but I wouldn't love them any other way, after all they are my children.
Guess we are doing Wife Swap then.
