AN: Okay guys, here's a super unconventional one for you. Not only is this a Poly story, but it's a little extreme even for the Poly world! So if seeing people share their love with multiple individuals is not your cup of tea, please walk away. I'm only writing this for the people who want to read it. Thanks!

As always, I love to receive feedback, so please read and review.

Chapter One: Prologue

It was the week before Edward's and my 20th wedding anniversary and our family were preparing for yet another move. This time, however, we were hoping to be able to stay for at least a decade. We would be living in the highlands of Scotland about three and a half hours north of Glasgow.

The reason we all wanted to put down roots somewhere was that Jacob and Renesmee now had young children of their own. And according to Carlisle's medical assessment, their kids were going to grow at a human rate of development.

This meant they would get to be kids a lot longer than Nessie had and we wanted them to have a stable home growing up in one place. So, we were going to do something a little bold with our back-stories this time around.

We decided that Carlisle and Esme would, as usual, be parents to the rest of us. And because of Jacob and Ness having their own children, Nessie was going to play our oldest sibling. Jake would be her husband and their son, Edasem and their daughter Isalie (names compounded from the rest of the family) would, of course, still be their children.

However, this time we would all be playing biological siblings. It wasn't that far fetched considering Esme's darker hair and Carlisle's blonde locks. And being vampires we all had the same golden eyes, so that would certainly help.

It was the age part we had to be careful about. Of course, Alice, our family pixie, was easy. Based on her size and the sound of her voice, she could easily pass for fourteen. And while I didn't agree, the general consensus was that I myself could pass for fifteen. Jasper would then be sixteen because he tended to look younger when he smiled. Emmett was immature enough (and horny enough) to be seventeen.

Rosalie would be eighteen because she didn't want to go back to high school that time around. Neither did Edward, he wanted to be close at hand for Nessie and her family, so he would be nineteen. Ness could easily pass for twenty one which made her old enough to be married and have 2 & 3-year-old children at home.

That meant that Carlisle would be starting out at age 39 and Esme would be 37. (The youngest we could have them play, given the rest of our ages, but still young enough that we would be able to make them look like a youthful 49 & 47 in ten years time. Thanks to the miracles of hair dye and a healthy diet to keep them young. Wink, wink.

Carlisle would be working as the village doctor, but also the village veterinarian, as was sometimes the case in smaller communities (He had also attended veterinary school many years back in his spare time.)

We would be keeping large herds of livestock since the hunting in the area wasn't always that great. Plus farming would give us a chance to experience a different lifestyle than several of us ever had before. Little did I know then that rural vs urban wasn't the only lifestyle change I was going to be experiencing soon enough.

AN: The chapters will be longer than the prologue, don't worry!
