A Bigger Family
Okay let's get cracking! I just had twins and I have triplets including one werewolf in the house! Little Viva has been ripping my household up. Everytime she gets mad, I need a new couch. Or chair. Or table. Or lamp. Or...well I think I've replaced my fair share of items in the household.
When I came back, he was back to pretending he was the king of the world. He waved the wooden spoon around as if it were his wand and told his peasants to get him a peanut butter and kelp sandwich. Perhaps he just has an overactive imagination?
Ace has been a huge help during this trying time. While I am often left to deal with Viva, stop Blood from fighting with walls and find where Elliot has wandered off to, Ace cares for Fran and Ashe. he's such a good big brother and the girls love him so much.
He helped me out alot by potty training Ashe while I cleaned up afterward. Not my favorite job but I wasn't going to make Ace do it. Plus, look at how much fun he's having with his little sister!
I gave him a much needed break that evening and I played with the girls while they learned their blocks. It was getting late though and the next Daddy would be coming over shortly.
No sooner were my girls in their crib when I saw him outside the window. I hurried down the stairs and outside to meet him.
Meet Chris Zepeda. He's been donated to the cause my 1990_Lizzy! Thank you so much Lizzy! :)
We talked for a while, but it was clear he wanted to get right to business. I didn't mind all that much. He had thick, strong arms. How could a girl mind?
We decided to make the baby in a less conventional place. I heard the lullaby on the first try at least!
But as Chris left, I had to get rid of some evidence. Can't have my kids seeing that! It might scar them for life!
I slept in because of my late night 'fun' and Viva decided to be a darling and clean up a little for me. I was so happy she was being so helpful. It was probably to make up for ruining another chair the night before after she had a temper tantrum. I couldn't wait to see how bad her teenage years would be.
When I finally did get up and around, I began teaching Ashe how to walk and potty some more. She took her few first wobbly steps toward me. It was so cute! She nearly fell onto the floor but just managed to make it into my arms. I loved spending the days with my tiny babies!
Though I hate when I get sick. Looks like I'm expecting another one soon!
The triplets came home from school and started working on their homework straight away. Such good kids. Ace had been home and had done his in a flash.
So he came upstairs to help me out with the twins. Such a good boy. I don't even ask him to help and he does.
I sat in a rocking chair and watched for a bit. My stomach was killing me. I felt really sick. Ace understood and helped out greatly, watching his two little sisters with care while I tried to relax. I didn't want to take anything for my stomach ache. It probably wouldn't work on my anyway, all things considered and I didn't want to risk it being bad for my baby.
I sent Ace to bed after a while and finished teaching Fran to walk myself. He needed to go to school tomorrow and I didn't want him to exhaust himself while helping me out.
After Fran could walk, I put her and her sister bed. I was exhausted by then too so I crawled into bed, hoping I could manage through the night with my stomach hurting so.
How wrong I was. I barely got two hours of sleep before I was up.
And throwing up.
I just laid down once more when I popped. Here comes baby number 9!
I spent most of the day sleeping. I still didn't feel well. I felt worse than I ever had before. I hope I wasn't sick or anything. Ace came home from school and began playing the piano. He was talented with it, I'd give him that. I came downstairs briefly to listen to the music but we had bigger plans. When everyone was home, we were having birthdays. Ace would be leaving us.
And we started with him. He was excited to be starting his own life. He would miss his home and his family but he was excited to take on the town!
The sparkles surrounded him and we all waited to see how he would look
He became a confident and very handsome young man. He looked like a bad boy, but he was a big softie.
Next it was Blood's turn!
"I look good...right?" He asked with a cheesey grin. I have a feeling he was trying to mimic his older brother's easy confidence but I think he fell short. He'd gain it in time. Being a teenager could be awkward after all.
Okay Elliot, your turn! Boy he was excited about being a teenager!
He didn't look as happy about it when he got there though. I guess he was a little disappointed or something? I wonder by what? I asked him but he seemed sullen. Ah...teenagers...
Finally it was Viva's turn!
She was beautiful, but she looked very freaked out. I wonder what was wrong. I couldn't say I approved of her showing her stomach in her outfit, but I wasn't going to raise too much of a fuss.
"Mom, I totally think that being a teenager is cool and all, but I'm kinda freaked out. Does this mean I someday have to go to prom?"
"Not if you don't want to sweetie"
"Oh good. Blood has me all freaked out. He says someones gonna spike the punch"
Oh dear...seems like Viva is a paranoid werewolf. Maybe I should call Sherewood....
Last two birthdays! Poor babies, everyone seemed uninterested in their birthdays!
Heres the beautiful Fran.
And her lovely twin sister Ashe.
After that, it was time to say goodbye to my handsome son, Ace. He walked up to me and said "Mom, I know its time to leave. It sucks because I'll miss you and my siblings but...at the same time I can't wait to get out there and live life. Is that weird?"
"No sweetie, its not. Just don't forget about us okay?"
"I could never forget about this crazy family!"
I hugged my third child one last time...
And he headed out into the big world. He was going to go crash at Piers' place for a while. Helena, from what Piers said, had been dating Ashe and Fran's father, Dean. It looked pretty serious and they had moved in together. I was happy for Helena, Dean was a good man. I wondered why she didn't think it was weird that she was dating her siblings' father though...
Next day it was the first day of High School for the now teenage triplets. The boys sat next to each other and began glaring at the bus driver. Huh...Okay. Calm down boys, I'm sure he means no harm.
While doing my chores that day, I got a call from Helena. Her and Dean got married! While I was happy for them, I was a little disappointed that there had been no wedding. Helena claimed she was busy with her job therefore there had been no time for a wedding. I let it go and wished the two of them the best and told her to give me lots of grandchildren.
Chores done, feeling large as a house, I decided to head out for a little while. There was an Alchemy shop downtown and I wanted to check it out some. It had been built a bit ago and I hadn't had the chance to go yet.
Looks like the person on duty wasn't there. Huh. Well I met a nice tourist who questioned if I was Kira Love, the Challenge Mother. We got in a long conversation about the babies I had and the babies I would someday have.
That was until the paparazzi decided to come and stalk me. Ah....Well it was time to get home on that note. The kids were probably already home, as I had lost track of time.
Sure enough when I arrived home, all the kids were working on their respective homework. Ashe and Fran were getting some assistance from their older brothers though. I didn't mind, it was good for the siblings to all bond.
I helped them a little while and then sat down to a game of chess. I hadn't been playing long when Fran entered the room and asked "Mama, can I play with you?"
"Of course honey" I called.
I just didn't count on her being a real challenge. Perhaps I'm just not good at chess?
Then we all spent some time watching TV together. Well Blood didn't join us. He didn't trust TVs...or computers or radios...or anything electronic. In fact he seemed to think the government was spying on him with these devices. He read books most often. He said they couldn't spy on him with books.
Kids...
We had been watching a little while when Elliot looked over and said "Mom, do you think you'll complete your challenge?"
Well that was quite the question.
"Well...I would really like to. I love having you guys around and I can't imagine how I'll feel throughout the whole challenge. I love being a mother. I love having so many wonderful children to be proud of" I answered but Viva looked a little skeptical.
"No more questions for now, its time for bed"
A collective groan went out, but the kids got up and marched out of the room.
I sat on the couch a while, wondering if and when I would complete my challenge, if it would win me what I want and if it didn't, what I would do afterwards. I even wondered if I wanted to be a Goddess after having so many wonderful kids.
I guess only time would tell.
I went to bed soon after but was awoken by a pain in my stomach. I knew that it was time for my newest baby to make his or her way into the world.
As was my tradition, I made my way into the nursery and rode out the pain. It sure was painful this time. I wasn't sure I was going to make it...
And then little Robert, baby number 9, was born!
Followed by baby Rosalind, baby number 10!
And finally, baby Elizabeth, who is baby number 11!
Robert looks quite like his father, though he is a mermaid like myself.
Rosalind has a deeper brown colored hair and she has my eyes. She is also a mermaid.
Elizabeth was born with the famous blue hair but with my eyes as well. She was born human. She's my first human baby! What a change!
Oh my gosh, triplets again!
But enough of that, credits time.
Thank you 1990_Lizzy for donating Chris. His three babies are so cute! And thank you, overall for being so awesome >w< Seriously people, go read Lizzy's 100 Minions story. It's really awesome.
Robert, Rosalind and Elizabeth's names came from Bioshock Infinite. I was glad to get a boy and a girl. I really wanted a pair named Robert and Rosalind LOL
And thank you, everyone out there, for reading my story :) And have a good day.
