A BookButterfly BNG: Part 3

[kaseyleigh]

Two years have gone by since your husband, [name_m]Dax[/name_m], passed away. Your daughters, [name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Greer[/name_f] are now ten years old and five years old. Your twin boys, [name_m]Clay[/name_m], and [name_m]Benji[/name_m] are now three years old. Your sister’s children, [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f], are now six years old. Everything has gotten better and everyone’s doing well.

Your oldest daughter’s father, [name_m]Trey[/name_m], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house and he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since your daughter with him was born, you offer he comes live with you in your house until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to you, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home and an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.
[name_m]How[/name_m] many kids does he have? You decide
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] - 7 years old
[name_f]Tillie[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] - 5 years old
[name_m]Boone[/name_m] [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] - 3 years old
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Parker[/name_u] - 6 months old

You and [name_m]Trey[/name_m] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days you want to pull your hair out. Which is why, on your birthday, he takes you out to dinner, with just the two of you. And, during the course of the evening, you feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_m]Boston[/name_m] falling in love with the school’s Southern outcast all over again…

A month after that night, you and [name_m]Trey[/name_m], decide to do what you didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. Your daughter with him, [name_u]Josie[/name_u], is delighted when she learns this. You don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, you begin to wonder what kept you back all those years ago and why you just gave up on him. You know the two of you love each other, then and now. Which is why, six months after you starting dating him, you decide to do the impossible…propose!
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you propose to him? You decide
B: You tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in the house to another, attached with little notes recalling moments from your relationship–starting with the conception of your daughter–along the way. You’re waiting at the last stop.

He says yes! You almost faint, you can’t believe! All your kids are ecstatic, especially your eldest daughter, [name_u]Josie[/name_u]. You actually let her help plan the wedding.
What kind of wedding do you have? Your choice
E: A vineyard wedding in [name_f]May[/name_f]

18 months after your wedding, a week after your oldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, you go to the doctor’s and find out you’re pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something you and your new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. And the house you’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, you buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m].
[name_m]How[/name_m] many babies do you have? You decide

Two years after your multiples are born, you receive a surprising letter from your stepsister, [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], whom you haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with you once she moved out of your stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since you last saw her, she’s been married three times and had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her and the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. You’re the only family she has left and she asks if you and your husband will take the children. You feel sorry for her and the kids. You talk to your husband and he thinks taking the kids in would be the right thing to do.

Despite all the kids you already heave, you and your husband get pregnant again, but you decide this baby will be your last child. You’re coming along in age and having more kids won’t be good for your health. The single baby, a boy, is born a few weeks early and is small, but otherwise healthy and strong.

Two years after [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] passed away, [name_m]Chad[/name_m] got divorced from his wife, [name_f]Jessa[/name_f]. [name_f]Jessa[/name_f] got custody of their house while [name_m]Chad[/name_m] got primary custody of the children. I invited [name_m]Chad[/name_m] to live with my family in Buffalo, and after a while he agreed, having nowhere else to go. He moved in with his four children: [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_m]Garrett[/name_m] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u] (7), [name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u] (5), [name_u]Niall[/name_u] [name_m]Seamus[/name_m] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u] (3), and [name_f]Brenna[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u] (1).

A few months after [name_m]Chad[/name_m] and his kids moved in, we started developing feelings for one another and decided to give a romantic relationship a try. [name_f]Leila[/name_f] was ecstatic, and after about a year, I decided that, having known one another for almost a decade, we should get married. I proposed to [name_m]Chad[/name_m] by creating a string throughout our house with different memories from our ten years together tied along the way. At the end of the string, I waited on one knee. [name_m]Chad[/name_m] said yes to my proposal. The kids were all so excited, especially [name_f]Leila[/name_f]. We got married in a quiet, lovely ceremony at a vineyard in [name_f]May[/name_f].

A year after our wedding, we moved into a larger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], NY, and I found out I was pregnant with twin girls! [name_m]Chad[/name_m] and I weren’t expecting this, but we were happy to have more children together. We named our daughters [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u].

Two years after our move, my stepsister [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] contacted me out of the blue. I hadn’t spoken to [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] since she cut off all ties with our family after turning 18. [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] explained that she had been married three times, with two children per marriage, but that she was now alone and on welfare, unable to support her children. She asked if [name_m]Chad[/name_m] and I could take her children into our home. [name_m]Chad[/name_m] and I agreed, and welcomed her six children into our large family: [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] (10) & [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] (8), [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_m]Hobbes[/name_m] (5) & [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_m]Hobbes[/name_m] (4), and [name_m]Truman[/name_m] [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Foster[/name_m] (2) & [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Foster[/name_m] (2).

We have one final child a year later, a boy named [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] [name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u], giving us a family of two parents and twenty children!

[Miakate]

Two years have gone by since your husband, [name_u]Channing[/name_u], passed away. Your daughters, [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Annalie[/name_f] are now ten years old and five years old. Your twin boys, [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] are now three years old. Your sister’s children, [name_m]Byron[/name_m], [name_m]Rufus[/name_m], and [name_u]Romy[/name_u], are now seven, five, and two. Everything has gotten better and everyone’s doing well.

Your oldest daughter’s father, [name_m]Justin[/name_m], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house and he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since your daughter with him was born, you offer he comes live with you in your house until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to you, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home and an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.
[name_m]How[/name_m] many kids does he have? You decide
D: Four girls; first names from Literary Names for Girls | Nameberry, middle names from 71 Musical Baby Names | Nameberry

What are the kids’ names?
[name_f]Briony[/name_f] [name_f]Aria[/name_f] (7)
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] (6)
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]/[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] (4)

You and [name_m]Justin[/name_m] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days you want to pull your hair out. Which is why, on your birthday, he takes you out to dinner, with just the two of you. And, during the course of the evening, you feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_m]Boston[/name_m] falling in love with the school’s Southern outcast all over again…

A month after that night, you and [name_m]Justin[/name_m], decide to do what you didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. Your daughter with him, [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. You don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, you begin to wonder what kept you back all those years ago and why you just gave up on him. You know the two of you love each other, then and now. Which is why, six months after you starting dating him, you decide to do the impossible…propose!
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you propose to him? You decide
B: You tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in the house to another, attached with little notes recalling moments from your relationship–starting with the conception of your daughter–along the way. You’re waiting at the last stop.

He says yes! You almost faint, you can’t believe! All your kids are ecstatic, especially your eldest daughter, [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]. You actually let her help plan the wedding.
What kind of wedding do you have? Your choice

This wasn’t something you and your new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. And the house you’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, you buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m].

Two years after your multiples are born, you receive a surprising letter from your stepsister, [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], whom you haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with you once she moved out of your stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since you last saw her, she’s been married three times and had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her and the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. You’re the only family she has left and she asks if you and your husband will take the children. You feel sorry for her and the kids. You talk to your husband and he thinks taking the kids in would be the right thing to do.

Despite all the kids you already heave, you and your husband get pregnant again, but you decide this baby will be your last child. You’re coming along in age and having more kids won’t be good for your health. The single baby, a boy, is born a few weeks early and is small, but otherwise healthy and strong.

[Elina]

Two years have gone by since your husband, [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Crow[/name_m], passed away. Your daughters, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Cathleen[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] are now ten years old and five years old. Your twin boys, [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] Samuek are now three years old. Your sister’s children, [name_m]Gulliver[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Moses[/name_m] [name_m]Leopold[/name_m], and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], are now 8 and 6. Everything has gotten better and everyone’s doing well.

Your oldest daughter’s father, [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_u]Leighton[/name_u], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house and he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since your daughter with him was born, you offer he comes live with you in your house until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to you, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home and an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.
[name_m]How[/name_m] many kids does he have? Three girls & one boy; [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] (7), [name_u]March[/name_u] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] (6), [name_f]Nova[/name_f] [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] (4) and [name_f]Phyllida[/name_f] [name_f]Tamar[/name_f] (2).

You and (DAUGHTER’S FATHER’S NAME) have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days you want to pull your hair out. Which is why, on your birthday, he takes you out to dinner, with just the two of you. And, during the course of the evening, you feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_m]Boston[/name_m] falling in love with the school’s Southern outcast all over again…

A month after that night, you and [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], decide to do what you didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. Your daughter with him, [name_f]Violet[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. You don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, you begin to wonder what kept you back all those years ago and why you just gave up on him. You know the two of you love each other, then and now. Which is why, six months after you starting dating him, you decide to do the impossible…propose!
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you propose to him?
You tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in the house to another, attached with little notes recalling moments from your relationship–starting with the conception of your daughter–along the way. You’re waiting at the last stop.

He says yes! You almost faint, you can’t believe! All your kids are ecstatic, especially your eldest daughter, [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. You actually let her help plan the wedding.

18 months after your wedding, a week after your oldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, you go to the doctor’s and find out you’re pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something you and your new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. And the house you’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, you buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m].

Two years after your multiples are born, you receive a surprising letter from your stepsister, [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], whom you haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with you once she moved out of your stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since you last saw her, she’s been married three times and had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her and the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. You’re the only family she has left and she asks if you and your husband will take the children. You feel sorry for her and the kids. You talk to your husband and he thinks taking the kids in would be the right thing to do.

Despite all the kids you already heave, you and your husband get pregnant again, but you decide this baby will be your last child. You’re coming along in age and having more kids won’t be good for your health. The single baby, a boy, is born a few weeks early and is small, but otherwise healthy and strong.

Two years have gone by since your husband, [name_u]Drew[/name_u], passed away. Your daughters, [name_f]Bea[/name_f] and [name_f]Sally[/name_f], are now ten years old and five years old. Your twin boys, [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] and [name_m]Ned[/name_m], are now three years old. Your sister’s children, [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Patience[/name_f], and [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], are now six, three, and three. Everything has gotten better and everyone’s doing well.

Your oldest daughter’s father, [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house and he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since your daughter with him was born, you offer he comes live with you in your house until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to you, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home and an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.
[name_m]How[/name_m] many kids does he have? Four boys
What are the kids’ names? [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Jeter[/name_m] Soriano & [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]Squire[/name_m] Soriano (7), [name_u]Barry[/name_u] [name_m]Wainwright[/name_m] Soriano (5), and [name_m]Austin[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] Soriano (4)

You and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days you want to pull your hair out. Which is why, on your birthday, he takes you out to dinner, with just the two of you. And, during the course of the evening, you feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_m]Boston[/name_m] falling in love with the school’s Southern outcast all over again…

A month after that night, you and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] decide to do what you didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. Your daughter with him, [name_f]Bea[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. You don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, you begin to wonder what kept you back all those years ago and why you just gave up on him. You know the two of you love each other, then and now. Which is why, six months after you starting dating him, you decide to do the impossible…propose!
[name_m]How[/name_m] do you propose to him? You gather the kids and family friends for a summer barbecue and make it a family affair.
He says yes! You almost faint, you can’t believe! All your kids are ecstatic, especially your eldest daughter, [name_f]Bea[/name_f]. You actually let her help plan the wedding.

18 months after your wedding, a week after [name_f]Bea[/name_f]'s twelfth birthday, you go to the doctor’s and find out you’re pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something you and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] planned, but it’s a nice surprise. And the house you’ve been living in suddenly feels small.

Two years after your multiples are born, you receive a surprising letter from your stepsister, [name_f]Rose[/name_f], whom you haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with you once she moved out of your stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since you last saw her, she’s been married three times and had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her and the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. You’re the only family she has left and she asks if you and your husband will take the children. You feel sorry for her and the kids. You talk to your husband and he thinks taking the kids in would be the right thing to do.

[hannahhh]

Two years have gone by since your husband, Carson, passed away. Your daughters, Arden and Greer are now ten years old and five years old. Your twin boys, Reed, and Adrian are now three years old. Your sister’s children, Gus, Lennon, and Piper, are now 6, 5, and 3. Everything has gotten better and everyone’s doing well.

Your oldest daughter’s father, Luke, has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house and he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since your daughter with him was born, you offer he comes live with you in your house until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to you, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home and an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees. His girls are 8 year old [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Aria[/name_f] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m], 6 year old [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m] and 3 year old twins, [name_f]Esme[/name_f] Serephine [name_m]Macauley[/name_m] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m]

You and Luke have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days you want to pull your hair out. Which is why, on your birthday, he takes you out to dinner, with just the two of you. And, during the course of the evening, you feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_m]Boston[/name_m] falling in love with the school’s Southern outcast all over again.

A month after that night, you and Luke, decide to do what you didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. Your daughter with him, Arden, is delighted when she learns this. You don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, you begin to wonder what kept you back all those years ago and why you just gave up on him. You know the two of you love each other, then and now. Which is why, six months after you starting dating him, you decide to do the impossible…propose! The two of you have the night to yourselves. You turn off all the lights in your house and make a trail of candles leading to the living room, the candles circling a note on the coffee table reading, “[name_m]Will[/name_m] you marry me?”

He says yes! You almost faint, you can’t believe! All your kids are ecstatic, especially your eldest daughter, Arden. You actually let her help plan the wedding. You have a vintage style wedding in [name_f]October[/name_f]. You go to Cancun in Mexico for your honeymoon.

18 months after your wedding, a week after your oldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, you go to the doctor’s and find out you’re pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something you and your new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. And the house you’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, you buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_m]York[/name_m]. We have triplet boys. We name them Damon [name_m]Clay[/name_m] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m], Hunter [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m] and Magnus [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m]

Two years after your multiples are born, you receive a surprising letter from your stepsister, Jessica, whom you haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with you once she moved out of your stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since you last saw her, she’s been married three times and had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her and the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. You’re the only family she has left and she asks if you and your husband will take the children. You feel sorry for her and the kids. You talk to your husband and he thinks taking the kids in would be the right thing to do.

Despite all the kids you already have, you and your husband get pregnant again, but you decide this baby will be your last child. You’re coming along in age and having more kids won’t be good for your health. The single baby, a boy, is born a few weeks early and is small, but otherwise healthy and strong. You name him [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Luke[/name_m] [name_m]Macauley[/name_m].

[Selene19]

Two years have gone by since your husband, [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], passed away. Your daughters, [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] are now ten years old and five years old. Your twin boys, [name_u]Wyatt[/name_u], and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] are now three years old. Your sister’s children, AJ and [name_f]Bella[/name_f], are now 7 and 4. Everything has gotten better and everyone’s doing well.

Your oldest daughter’s father, (HIS NAME), has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house and he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since your daughter with him was born, you offer he comes live with you in your house until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to you, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home and an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.

You and [name_m]Luke[/name_m] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days you want to pull your hair out. Which is why, on your birthday, he takes you out to dinner, with just the two of you. And, during the course of the evening, you feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from Bostonfalling in love with the school’s Southern outcast all over again…

A month after that night, you and [name_m]Luke[/name_m], decide to do what you didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. Your daughter with him, [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. You don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, you begin to wonder what kept you back all those years ago and why you just gave up on him. You know the two of you love each other, then and now. Which is why, six months after you starting dating him, you decide to do the impossible…propose!

You tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in the house to another, attached with little notes recalling moments from your relationship–starting with the conception of your daughter–along the way. You’re waiting at the last stop.

He says yes! You almost faint, you can’t believe! All your kids are ecstatic, especially your eldest daughter, [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]. You actually let her help plan the wedding.

It’s a vintage style wedding in [name_u]October[/name_u]. We go to [name_u]New[/name_u] Orleans, [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f] for the honeymoon.

18 months after your wedding, a week after your oldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, you go to the doctor’s and find out you’re pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something you and your new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. And the house you’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, you buy a bigger house in Albany, [name_u]New[/name_u] York.

Two years after your multiples are born, you receive a surprising letter from your stepsister, [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], whom you haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with you once she moved out of your stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since you last saw her, she’s been married three times and had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her and the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. You’re the only family she has left and she asks if you and your husband will take the children. You feel sorry for her and the kids. You talk to your husband and he thinks taking the kids in would be the right thing to do.

Despite all the kids you already heave, you and your husband get pregnant again, but you decide this baby will be your last child. You’re coming along in age and having more kids won’t be good for your health. The single baby, a boy, is born a few weeks early and is small, but otherwise healthy and strong.

[Sophie_sawriter]

[name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Ariella[/name_f] [name_f]Nathalie[/name_f] [name_f]Patience[/name_f] Atkinson-Hooper & I am a sixteen-year-old junior in high school. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad, [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Atkinson[/name_m], died when I was ten years old & my little sister, [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f], was seven. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother, [name_f]Maude[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Hooper[/name_m], has recently remarried a man named [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Timothy[/name_u] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] Osborn-Shelton. He is also widowed & has a daughter that is the same age as me, named [name_f]Selina[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Osborn-Shelton. After the wedding, I, my mom, & my sister move from [name_u]Boston[/name_u], Massachusetts to my new stepfather’s house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u]. I am not the least bit happy about it. I like my stepfather well enough, but I can’t stand [name_f]Selina[/name_f].

On my first day at my new school, I see a boy sitting by himself in the cafeteria at lunchtime. I remember his name is [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Winston[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] Blachard-Powell, he’s a senior, & in three of my classes. He’s cute but doesn’t talk much. The first time I did hear him speak, I noticed he had a [name_u]Southern[/name_u] accent. I go sit with him. He’s surprised. It takes a few days, but he finally warms up to me. He tells me that his family moved to [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] from [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f] after [name_u]Hurricane[/name_u] [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]. His parents decided to stay. The two of us become friends - & I discover I’m one of the few he has.

Two weeks before school lets out, a friend of mine, [name_f]Edie[/name_f] Sparks-Richards, talks me into going to an unsupervised party at another friend’s house on a [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] night. [name_u]An[/name_u] hour into the festivities & I’m bored out of my mind. I go outside to the patio in the backyard to call my mom for a ride home. On the back porch, sitting by himself, I see my guy friend [name_u]Alex[/name_u], nursing a beer. I didn’t realize he was here so I go over to him. Like me, he was also dragged to the party by another mutual friend of ours. I ask him if he’d like to leave with me & he agrees. We take his car, but I’m the one driving - he’s had a few drinks. The two of us go to the nearest ice cream shop & order a sundae for the two of us to share. While we’re eating at a table outside in the warm midsummer night, my friend, who’s recently graduated, thanks me for being his friend & “putting up” with him. Without thinking, I lean across the table & kiss him. Before I know it, he’s taking my hand, leading me back to his car, getting into the backseat, &…

I & [name_u]Alex[/name_u] don’t talk about what happened that night. I want to, & I’ve let him know that I want to be more than friends with him, but he rejects me. I’m hurt & angry. I refuse to speak to him & ignore all the phone calls, e-mails, & text messages he sends me. A week after school ends, I start falling sick, but brush it off as a cold… until I realize my period is late. I don’t believe I’m pregnant, but I buy a pregnancy test anyway, for peace of mind. It comes back positive! I start to panic. I’m not sure what to do. I hide the test in my bedroom & go to work, hoping to buy time to work out a plan. I’m against abortion, so that’s out. Adoption is an option I like, but I’m not sure if that’s really what I want. When I get home, my little sister runs to me. She tells me that [name_f]Selina[/name_f] found the pregnancy test in my bedroom & told my mother & stepfather. She asks me if it’s true, am I pregnant? I burst into tears & say, yes, it’s true. She goes inside with me to help me face our mother. Our mother is furious & disappointed in me. She demands to know who the father is. I tell her the father is [name_u]Alex[/name_u], which makes her even madder, because she really didn’t like him. She sends me to my bedroom & orders me to stay there for the rest of the night. Later, my stepfather comes upstairs. He says he’s not happy about the situation, but promises to be there for me in whatever decisions I make. The next day, my mother comes to me, crying. She says she’s sorry for the way she acted &, like my stepfather, promises she’ll be supportive.

[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] asks me if I told the baby’s father yet. I say no, I haven’t & I’m not sure I want to. She says, at least, he has a right to know. I can’t help but agree with her. The truth always coms out, & it might not be in a way I want it to. But I’m not sure how to tell [name_u]Alex[/name_u].

In the end, I decide to call him. I call his cell phone. He answers on the second ring & is glad he’s finally heard from me. The two of us exchange pleasantries for five minutes before I cut in & say I have something to tell him. He asks what is it. I ask if he remembers what happened between us in the ice cream shop parking lot. He’s silent for a brief moment before he answers yes. I tell him that I’m pregnant. The other is so silent, I think he’s hung up. I turn off my phone & cry. Fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rings. I answer the door. It’s him. Impulsively, he asks me to marry him. I turn him down flat. He begs me not to shut him out, that he’s sorry he got me pregnant, but he wants to be a father to the baby & he wants to be my friend. I agree to let him.

[name_u]Alex[/name_u] goes away to college, but keeps in touch & comes back home to see how I’m doing & goes with me to doctor’s appointments whenever he can. I’m busy with my senior year, working & studying. I got an early acceptance to [name_u]Boston[/name_u] University, majoring in culinary arts. [name_f]My[/name_f] little sister & stepfather are being helpful, but my mother is stressed out & my stepsister is being difficult. After a heated argument, my mother forces me out of the house, but my stepfather intervenes. After the incident, I turn to the baby’s father & his family for support. He wants to help, but he’s been living on the college campus & hasn’t been able to get a place of his own. The only person from his family that seems to care is his widowed seventy-eight-year-old maternal grandmother, [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. She offers that I come live with her until the baby is born. I accept & move in with her. She’s very good to me. [name_u]Alex[/name_u] comes home for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] break & takes me to a doctor’s appointment. We wanted to keep the gender a surprise, but excitement gets the better of us. We find out, we’re having a baby girl! While he’s home for the holidays, I, him, & [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] turn the spare bedroom into the baby’s nursery.

Baby’s Room:

[name_u]Four[/name_u] months later, I give birth to the baby. [name_u]Alex[/name_u] holds my hand the entire time. I see his eyes light up when he lays eyes on our beautiful, healthy baby girl, & I know I did the right thing telling him the truth. The two of us couldn’t agree on a first name, but we settled on a middle name: [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], or a variation of it, to honor my baby daddy’s grandmother. We let my little sister pick a first name.

Her name is [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] [name_f]Reina[/name_f] Blanchard-Atkinson.

I graduate from high school & I’ve moved in with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] permanently. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father helps out, visits almost daily, & calls just as much. He buys his own place close to the college campus & Catherine’s house after he finishes his freshman year of college. The two of us are closer than ever now that we’re Henrietta’s parents. But we’ll never be more than friends… which is probably the best way.

Three years have gone by since my daughter, [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], was born. She has grown into a cute, sweet, & spunky toddler that makes friends easily at her daycare & looks like her father, [name_u]Alex[/name_u], with strawberry blonde hair & green eyes. We’ve moved out of Catherine’s house & into a small townhouse not far from the college I’m going to. I & [name_u]Alex[/name_u] have worked out a custody agreement over our daughter & he’s the sweetest father to her. I have one more year before I graduate & am excited for life after college.

A new male volunteer at my daughter’s daycare captures my attention. His name is [name_u]John[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Robert[/name_u] Lambert-White & he is a good-natured, fun-loving man whom [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] adores. Three months later, I begin dating him. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father, who is protective of her & me, is at first wary of the other man but gradually they become friends. After my graduation from college, he suggests that the two of us buy a house together. I agree. The two of us settle in a Victorian house in Buffalo [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

House:

A year goes by. I’m starting my career as a Wedding Cake [name_u]Baker[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter loves the house & my boyfriend is amazing. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father has recently gotten married - to my stepsister’s best friend, [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Madison[/name_u] [name_f]Benedicta[/name_f] Garrett-Tulley, who is just as unkind & snobbish as [name_f]Selina[/name_f]. But I keep my mouth shut as long as she doesn’t give my daughter any problems. A month after their wedding, my boyfriend proposes to me!

He proposed by asking [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] for her permission for my hand in marriage. When the approval is given, he makes plans for a family gathering & proposes to me in private with the ring in his hand. When I say yes, he stands up & announces our engagement to everyone.

[name_m]Ring[/name_m]:

We end up having our wedding in the spring with a 1940’s [name_f]Vintage[/name_f] theme. Our honeymoon takes place in [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_u]England[/name_u].

Wedding Dress:

Six months after our wedding, I become pregnant with my second child & my husband’s first. [name_f]My[/name_f] first daughter, who is now five, is excited to be a big sister & my husband is thrilled for a baby. This time, we decide to keep the gender a surprise & create a gender neutral nursery. I have my second baby girl seven & a half months later.

Baby’s Room:

[name_f]My[/name_f] second daughter is named [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] Lambert-Atkinson.

Three years go by. [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is now eight & [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is now three. I am five months pregnant with twins when, on my way to pick up my daughters from school & daycare respectively, the police pull up into the driveway. They give me earth-shattering news: my husband, who had been visiting his brother in [name_f]Manhattan[/name_f], was killed in a hit-&-run accident on his way home. I go to the police station & identify the body. It’s my husband. I break into hysterics so badly, they have to call Hattie’s father to come get me. Unable to handle it, I let my in-laws plan the funeral arrangements & lock myself inside my house with my daughters, who don’t understand where Daddy went.

As the weeks go by, I pull myself together for the sake of my children. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother comes down to help me out & [name_u]Alex[/name_u] is being especially wonderful. [name_f]My[/name_f] twin boys are born a week early.

Their names are [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] [name_u]John[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] Lambert-Atkinson & [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Robert[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] Lambert-Atkinson.

Another year passes & another tragedy strikes. [name_f]My[/name_f] little sister, [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f], is murdered by her husband in a domestic dispute & he’s arrested. Her children are left neither a mother nor a father. I’m listed as the next of kin. I take in the children.

[name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] had a little boy of three, a little boy of two, & a little babe, only a couple months yet in this world. Their names are [name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m], [name_m]Leopold[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m], & [name_f]Bronte[/name_f] [name_u]Sparrow[/name_u] [name_f]Pixie[/name_f] Atkinson-Hooper.

With my job as a Wedding Cake [name_u]Baker[/name_u] & a roof over my head, I am able to provide for the children.

Two years have gone by since my husband, [name_u]John[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u], passed away. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s, [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] & [name_f]Annie[/name_f], are now ten & five years old. [name_f]My[/name_f] twin boys, [name_u]Pippin[/name_u] & [name_u]Kit[/name_u], are now three years old. [name_f]My[/name_f] sister’s children, [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_u]Leo[/name_u], & [name_f]Bronte[/name_f], are now five, four, & two. Everything has gotten better & everyone’s doing well.

[name_f]My[/name_f] eldest daughter’s father, [name_u]Alex[/name_u], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house & he gets their children. Since he’s been incredible ever since my daughter with him was born, I offer that he comes to live with us until he gets back on his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to me, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home & an opportunity to be closer to his eldest daughter, he agrees.

He had four more little girls with [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. Their names are [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Cadence[/name_u] [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Rhapsody[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] [name_u]Calypso[/name_u], & [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_u]Lyric[/name_u]. [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] & [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] are four years old, [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is three years old, & [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] is one year old.

I & [name_u]Alex[/name_u] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days that I want to pull my hair out. Which is why, on my birthday, he takes me out to dinner, with just the two of us. &, during the course of the evening, I feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_u]Boston[/name_u] falling in love with the school’s [name_u]Southern[/name_u] outcast all over again…

A month after that night, I & [name_u]Alex[/name_u], decide to do what we didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at a relationship. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter with him, [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. I don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, I begin to wonder what kept me back all those years ago & why I just gave up on him. I know the two of us love each other, then & now. Which is why, six months after I start dating him, I decide to do the impossible… propose!

I propose by gathering up the children & family friends for a summer barbecue & make it a family affair.

[name_m]Ring[/name_m]:

He says yes! I almost faint, I can’t believe it! All of the children are ecstatic, especially our eldest daughter, [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]. We actually let her help plan the wedding.

We end up having our wedding in [name_f]May[/name_f] with a Vineyard theme. Our honeymoon takes place in [name_f]Barcelona[/name_f], Spain.

Wedding Dress:

Eighteen months after our wedding, a week after our eldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, I go to the doctor’s & find out I’m pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something I & my new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. & the house I’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, I buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

[name_u]New[/name_u] House:

I have triplet boys & their names are [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Charles[/name_u] [name_u]William[/name_u], & [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] Blanchard-Atkinson.

Two years after the triplets are born, I receive a surprising letter from my stepsister, [name_f]Selina[/name_f], whom I haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with me once she moved out of my stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since I last saw her, she’s been married three times & has had two children by each husband, all whom abandoned her & the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t support even herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. We’re the only family she has left & she asks if I & my husband will take the children. I feel sorry for her & the kids. I talk to my husband & he thinks taking in the children would be the right thing to do.

[name_f]Selina[/name_f] has three children of each gender. Their names are [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u] [name_m]Alastair[/name_m], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Philomena[/name_f], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Zacharias[/name_m] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], & [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] Llwellyn [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] Osborn-Shelton. [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] & [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] are ten, [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is seven, [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] is four, [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] is two, & [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is one.

Despite all the children we already have, I & [name_u]Alex[/name_u] get pregnant again, but we decide that this baby will be our last child. I’m coming along in age & having more children won’t be good for my health. The singlar child, a boy, is born a few weeks early & is small, but otherwise healthy & strong.

[name_f]My[/name_f] last child’s name is [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] Blanchard-Atkinson.

I, now, have twenty-one children, the majority of whom are ten & under!

[Sophie_sawriter]

[name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] Adams-Woodard & I am a sixteen-year-old junior in high school. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad, [name_u]David[/name_u] [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] [name_m]Adams[/name_m], died when I was ten years old & my little sister, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Samantha[/name_f], was seven. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom, [name_f]Megan[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] Woodard, was recently remarried a man named [name_m]Brandon[/name_m] [name_m]Jared[/name_m] [name_u]Franklin[/name_u] Perkins-Bailey. He is also widowed & has a daughter that is the same age as me, named [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_f]Regina[/name_f] Perkins-Haynes. After the wedding, I, my mom, & my sister move from [name_u]Boston[/name_u], Massachusetts to my new step-father’s house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u]. I am not the least bit happy about it. I like my step-father well enough, but I can’t stand [name_u]Kelly[/name_u].

On my first day at my new school, I see a boy sitting by himself in the cafeteria at lunchtime. I remember that his name is [name_u]Elijah[/name_u] [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] Campbell-Buchanan, he’s a senior, & in three of my classes. He’s cute but doesn’t talk much. The first time I did hear him speak, I noticed that he had a [name_u]Southern[/name_u] accent. I go sit with him. He’s surprised. It takes a few days, but he finally warms up to me. He tells me that his moved to [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] from [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f] after [name_u]Hurricane[/name_u] [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]. His parents decided to stay. The two of us become friends - & I discover that I’m one of the few he has.

Two weeks before school lets out, a friend of mine, [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Bailey[/name_u], talks me into going to an unsupervised party at another friend’s house on a [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] night. [name_u]An[/name_u] hour into the festivities & I’m bored out of my mind. I go outside to the patio in the backyard to call my mom for a ride home. On the back porch, sitting by himself, I see my guy friend, [name_u]Eli[/name_u], nursing a beer. I didn’t realize that he was here so I go over to him. Like me, he was also dragged to the party by another mutual friend of ours. I ask him if he’d like to leave with me & he agrees. We take his car, but I’m the one driving - he’s had a few drinks. The two of us go to the nearest ice cream shop & order a sundae for the two of us to share. While we’re eating at a table outside in the warm mid-summer night, my friend, who’s recently graduated, thanks me for being his friend & “putting up” with him. Without thinking, I lean across the table & kiss him. Before I know it, he’s taking my hand, leading me back to his car, getting into the backseat, &…

I & [name_u]Eli[/name_u] don’t talk about what happened that night. I want to, & I’ve let him know I want to be more than friends with him, but he rejects me. I’m hurt & angry. I refuse to speak to him & ignore all the phone calls, e-mails, & text messages he sends me. A week after school ends, I start feeling sick, but brush it off as a cold… until I realize that my period is late. I don’t believe I’m pregnant, but I buy a pregnancy test anyway, for the peace of mind. It comes back positive! I start to panic. I’m not sure of what to do. I hide the test in my bedroom & go to work, hoping to buy time to work out a plan. I’m against abortion so that’s out. Adoption is an option I like, but I’m not sure if that’s really what I want. When I get home, my little sister runs to me. She tells me [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] found the pregnancy test in my bedroom & told my mother & stepfather. She asks me if it’s true, am I pregnant? I burst into tears & say, yes, it’s true. She goes inside with me to help me face our mother. Our mother is furious & disappointed in me. She demands to know who the father is. I tell her the father is [name_u]Eli[/name_u], which makes her even madder, because she really didn’t like him. She sends me to my bedroom & orders me to stay there for the rest of the night. Later, my stepfather comes upstairs. He says he’s not happy about the situation, but promises to be there for me in whatever decisions I make. The next day, my mother comes to me, crying. She says she’s sorry for the way she acted &, like my stepfather, promises she’ll be supportive.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] asks me if I told the baby’s father yet. I say no, I haven’t & I’m not sure I want to. She says he, at least, has the right to know. I can’t help but agree with her. The truth always comes out, & it might not be in a way I want it to. But I’m not sure how to tell [name_u]Eli[/name_u]. I end up deciding on confronting him face-to-face.

I get in my car & drive to his house. I pull into the driveway to find him in the front yard, mowing the lawn. He’s surprised & happy to see me. I get out of the car. [name_f]My[/name_f] feelings must show on my face because he asks me what’s wrong. I come straight out with it: I’m pregnant. He’s stunned. I tell him, I’m going to have the baby, & that I’m thinking of keeping it. I say he can be as involved or uninvolved in the child’s life as he wants. He takes me in his arms & hugs me tight, saying he’s sorry he wasn’t careful that night & he wants the baby. I can’t help it. I cry into his shoulder.

[name_u]Eli[/name_u] goes away to college, but keeps in touch & comes back home to see how I’m doing & goes with me to doctor’s appointments whenever he can. I’m busy with my senior year, working & studying. I get an early acceptance to the University of [name_u]Boston[/name_u], majoring in journalism. [name_f]My[/name_f] little sister & stepfather are being helpful, but my mother is stressed out & my stepsister is being difficult. After a heated argument, my mother forces me out of the house, but my stepfather intervenes. After the incident, I turn to my baby’s father & his family for support. He wants to help, but he’s been living on the college campus & hasn’t been able to get a place of his own. The only person from his family that seems to care is his widowed seventy-eight-year-old maternal grandmother, [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. She offers me to come live with her until the baby is born. I accept & move in with her. She’s very good to me. [name_u]Eli[/name_u] comes home for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] break & takes me to a doctor’s appointment. I wanted to keep the gender a surprise, but excitement gets the better of me. We find out I’m having a baby girl! While he’s home for the holidays, I, him, & [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] create the spare bedroom into a baby’s nursery.

The Nursery:

[name_u]Four[/name_u] months later, I give birth to the baby. [name_u]Eli[/name_u] holds my hand the entire time. I see his eyes light up when he lays eyes on our beautiful, healthy baby girl, & I know I did the right thing telling him the truth. The two of us couldn’t settle on a first name, but we settled on a middle name: [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], or a variation of it, to honor my baby daddy’s grandmother. I let my little sister pick out a first name.

The baby’s name is [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Katharina[/name_f] [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] Adams-Buchanan.

I graduate from high school & I’ve moved in with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] permanently. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father helps out, visits almost daily, & calls just as much. He buys his own place close to the college campus & Catherine’s house after he finishes his freshman year of college. The two of us are closer than ever now that we’re Elsie’s parents. But we’ll never be more than friends… which is probably the best way.

Three years have gone by since my daughter, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], was born. She has grown into a cute, sweet, & spunky toddler that makes friends easily at her daycare & looks like her father, [name_u]Eli[/name_u], with brownish-blonde hair & gray eyes. I’ve moved out of Catherine’s house & into a small townhouse not far from the college I’m going to. I & [name_u]Eli[/name_u] have worked out a custody agreement over our daughter & he’s the sweetest father to her. I have one more year until I graduate & am excited for life after college.

A new male volunteer at my daughter’s daycare captures my attention. His name is [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_m]Broderick[/name_m] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Baker-Gold & he’s a good-natured, fun-loving man whom [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] adores. Three months later, I begin dating him. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father, who is protective of her & me, is at first wary of the other man but gradually they become friends. After my graduation from college, he suggests the two of us buy a house together. I agree. The two of us settle in a Victorian house in Buffalo, [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

[name_u]New[/name_u] House:

A year goes by. I’m starting my career as an advice columnist. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter loves the house & my boyfriend is amazing. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father has recently gotten married - to my stepsister’s best friend, [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] [name_f]Heather[/name_f] [name_f]Karen[/name_f] Johnson-Smith, who is just as mean & snobbish as [name_u]Kelly[/name_u]. But I keep my mouth shut as long as she doesn’t give my daughter any problems. A month after the wedding, my boyfriend proposes to me.

He proposes by delivering a letter to me with a bouquet of flowers, which serves as the first clue to a treasure hunt. At the end of the hunt, I find him, on his knees, holding the ring. We have an angel theme in the winter. For our honeymoon, we go to Tuscany, [name_f]Italy[/name_f].

[name_m]Ring[/name_m]:

Wedding Dress:

Six months after my wedding, I become pregnant with my second child & [name_u]William[/name_u] Brody’s first. [name_f]My[/name_f] first daughter, who is now five, is excited to be a big sister & my husband is thrilled for a baby. This time, we decide to keep the gender a surprise & create a gender neutral nursery. I have my second baby girl seven & a half months later.

The Nursery 2.0:

[name_f]My[/name_f] second daughter’s name is [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] Adams-Baker.

Three years go by quietly. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is now eight & [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] is now three. I am five months pregnant with twins when, on my way to pick up my daughters from school & daycare respectively, the police pull up into the driveway. They give me earth-shattering news: my husband, who had been visiting his brother in [name_f]Manhattan[/name_f], was killed in a hit-&-run accident on his way home. I go to the police station & identify the body. It’s my husband. I break down into hysterics so badly, they have to call my eldest daughter’s father to come get me. Unable to handle it, I let my in-laws plan the funeral arrangements & lock myself inside my house with my daughters, who don’t understand where Daddy went.

As the weeks go by, I pull myself together for the sake of my children. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother comes down to help me out & [name_u]Eli[/name_u] is being especially wonderful. [name_f]My[/name_f] twin boys are born a week early.

Their names are [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_m]Broderick[/name_m] & [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] Adams-Baker.

A year passes & another tragedy strikes. [name_f]My[/name_f] little sister, [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], is murdered by her husband in a domestic dispute & he’s arrested. Her children are left without their parents. I’m listed as next of kin. I take in the children.

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] had a little girl of three, a little girl of two, & a little babe, only a couple of months yet in this world. Their names are [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Patience[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u], & [name_u]Wyatt[/name_u] [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] Adams-Woodard.

With my job as an advice columnist & a roof over my head, I am able to provide for the children.

Two years have gone by since my husband, [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]Brody[/name_u], passed away. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughters, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] & [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] are now ten years old & five years old. [name_f]My[/name_f] twin boys, [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] & [name_u]Jamie[/name_u], are now three years old. [name_f]My[/name_f] sister’s children, [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Harper[/name_u], & [name_u]Wyatt[/name_u], are now five, four, & two. Everything has gotten better & everyone’s doing well.

[name_f]My[/name_f] oldest daughter’s father, [name_u]Eli[/name_u], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house & he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since my daughter with him was born, I offer that he comes to live with us in our house until he gets back onto his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to us, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home & an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.

He had four more little girls with [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]. Their names are [name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Melody[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Aria[/name_u] [name_u]Lyric[/name_u], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u], & [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f] [name_u]Cadence[/name_u] [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] Campbell-Buchanan. [name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u] is three, [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] & [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] are two, & [name_f]Atalanta[/name_f] is one.

I & [name_u]Eli[/name_u] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days I want to pull my hair out. Which is why, on my birthday, he takes me out to dinner, with just the two of us. &, during the course of the evening, I feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_u]Boston[/name_u] falling in love with the school’s [name_u]Southern[/name_u] outcast all over again…

A month after that night, I & [name_u]Eli[/name_u], decide to do what we didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at this relationship. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter with him, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. I don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, I begin to wonder what kept me back all those years ago & why I just gave up on him. I know the two of us love each other, then & now. Which is why, six months after I start dating him, I decide to do the impossible… propose! We have a

I propose by creating my own podcast proposal & sending it to his IPhone.

He says yes! I almost faint, I can’t believe it! All our children are ecstatic, especially my eldest daughter, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. I actually let her help plan the wedding. We have a vintage wedding in [name_u]October[/name_u]. For our honeymoon, we go to [name_f]Barcelona[/name_f], Spain.

[name_m]Ring[/name_m]:

Wedding Dress:

Eighteen months after our wedding, a week after our eldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, I go to the doctor’s & find out that I’m pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something me & my new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. & the house we’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, we buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

[name_u]New[/name_u] House 2.0:

I have triplet girls & their names are [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Selena[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], & [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f] Adams-Buchanan.

Two years after the triplets are born, I receive a surprising letter from my stepsister, [name_u]Kelly[/name_u], whom I haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contact with me once she moved out of my stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since I last saw her, she’s been married three times & had two children by each husband, all of whom abandoned her & the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t even support herself, which puts her children in danger of going into foster care. I’m the only family she has left & she asks if I & my husband will take the children. I feel sorry for her & the children. I talk to my husband & he thinks taking the children in would be the right thing to do.

[name_u]Kelly[/name_u] has six children, all of the feminine gender. Their names are [name_f]Marciana[/name_f] [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Drusilla[/name_f], [name_f]Lucretia[/name_f] [name_f]Justina[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f], [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] [name_f]Melisent[/name_f] [name_f]Honoria[/name_f], [name_f]Florentina[/name_f] [name_f]Gwenore[/name_f] [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f], [name_f]Aeliana[/name_f] [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] [name_f]Sabina[/name_f], & [name_f]Dominica[/name_f] [name_f]Phillida[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]. [name_f]Marciana[/name_f] is eight, [name_f]Lucretia[/name_f] is six, [name_f]Clemencia[/name_f] is four, [name_f]Florentina[/name_f] is three, & [name_f]Aeliana[/name_f] & [name_f]Dominica[/name_f] are one.

Despite all the children we already have, I & [name_u]Eli[/name_u] get pregnant again, but we decide that this baby will be our last child. I’m coming along in age & having more kids won’t be good for my health. The single baby, a boy, is born a few weeks early & is small, but otherwise healthy & strong.

[name_f]My[/name_f] last child’s name is [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] Adams-Buchanan.

I, now, have twenty-one children, seventeen girls & four boys, nearly all ten & under.

[Sophie_sawriter]

[name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_u]Ivy[/name_u] Anderson-Richards & I am a sixteen-year-old junior in high school. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad, [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] [name_m]Richards[/name_m], died when I was ten years old & my little sister, [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] [name_u]Cheyenne[/name_u] Anderson-Richards, was seven. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_u]Anderson[/name_u], was recently remarried to a man named [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] [name_m]Knight[/name_m] Turner-Warren. He is also widowed & has a daughter that is the same age as me, named [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] Bradley-Warren. After the wedding, I, my mom, & my sister move from [name_u]Boston[/name_u], Massachusetts to my new step-father’s house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u]. I am not the least bit happy about it. I like my step-father well enough, but I can’t stand [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

On my first day at my new school, I see a boy sitting by himself in the cafeteria at lunchtime. I remember that his name is [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_u]Sundance[/name_u] [name_u]Meridian[/name_u] Fuller-Harrington, he’s a senior, & in three of my classes. He’s cute but doesn’t talk much. The first time I did hear him speak, I noticed that he had a [name_u]Southern[/name_u] accent. I go sit with him. He’s surprised. It takes a few days, but he finally warms up to me. He tells me that his moved to [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] from [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f] after [name_u]Hurricane[/name_u] [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]. His parents decided to stay. The two of us become friends - & I discover that I’m one of the few he has.

Two weeks before school lets out, a friend of mine, [name_u]Jacey[/name_u] [name_u]Green[/name_u], talks me into going to an unsupervised party at another friend’s house on a [name_m]Saturday[/name_m] night. [name_u]An[/name_u] hour into the festivities & I’m bored out of my mind. I go outside to the patio in the backyard to call my mom for a ride home. On the back porch, sitting by himself, I see my guy friend, [name_u]Levi[/name_u], nursing a beer. I didn’t realize that he was here so I go over to him. Like me, he was also dragged to the party by another mutual friend of ours. I ask him if he’d like to leave with me & he agrees. We take his car, but I’m the one driving - he’s had a few drinks. The two of us go to the nearest ice cream shop & order a sundae for the two of us to share. While we’re eating at a table outside in the warm mid-summer night, my friend, who’s recently graduated, thanks me for being his friend & “putting up” with him. Without thinking, I lean across the table & kiss him. Before I know it, he’s taking my hand, leading me back to his car, getting into the backseat, &…

I & [name_u]Levi[/name_u] don’t talk about what happened that night. I want to, & I’ve let him know I want to be more than friends with him, but he rejects me. I’m hurt & angry. I refuse to speak to him & ignore all the phone calls, e-mails, & text messages he sends me. A week after school ends, I start feeling sick, but brush it off as a cold… until I realize that my period is late. I don’t believe I’m pregnant, but I buy a pregnancy test anyway, for the peace of mind. It comes back positive! I start to panic. I’m not sure of what to do. I hide the test in my bedroom & go to work, hoping to buy time to work out a plan. I’m against abortion so that’s out. Adoption is an option I like, but I’m not sure if that’s really what I want. When I get home, my little sister runs to me. She tells me [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] found the pregnancy test in my bedroom & told my mother & stepfather. She asks me if it’s true, am I pregnant? I burst into tears & say, yes, it’s true. She goes inside with me to help me face our mother. Our mother is furious & disappointed in me. She demands to know who the father is. I tell her the father is [name_u]Levi[/name_u], which makes her even madder, because she really didn’t like him. She sends me to my bedroom & orders me to stay there for the rest of the night. Later, my stepfather comes upstairs. He says he’s not happy about the situation, but promises to be there for me in whatever decisions I make. The next day, my mother comes to me, crying. She says she’s sorry for the way she acted &, like my stepfather, promises she’ll be supportive.

[name_f]Bethany[/name_f] asks me if I told the baby’s father yet. I say no, I haven’t & I’m not sure I want to. She says he, at least, has the right to know. I can’t help but agree with her. The truth always comes out, & it might not be in a way I want it to. But I’m not sure how to tell [name_u]Levi[/name_u]. I end up deciding on confronting him face-to-face.

I get in my car & drive to his house. I pull into the driveway to find him in the front yard, mowing the lawn. He’s surprised & happy to see me. I get out of the car. [name_f]My[/name_f] feelings must show on my face because he asks me what’s wrong. I come straight out with it: I’m pregnant. He’s stunned. I tell him, I’m going to have the baby, & that I’m thinking of keeping it. I say he can be as involved or uninvolved in the child’s life as he wants. He takes me in his arms & hugs me tight, saying he’s sorry he wasn’t careful that night & he wants the baby. I can’t help it. I cry into his shoulder.

[name_u]Levi[/name_u] goes away to college, but keeps in touch & comes back home to see how I’m doing & goes with me to doctor’s appointments whenever he can. I’m busy with my senior year, working & studying. I get an early acceptance to the University of [name_u]Boston[/name_u], majoring in graphic design. [name_f]My[/name_f] little sister & stepfather are being helpful, but my mother is stressed out & my stepsister is being difficult. After a heated argument, my mother forces me out of the house, but my stepfather intervenes. After the incident, I turn to my baby’s father & his family for support. He wants to help, but he’s been living on the college campus & hasn’t been able to get a place of his own. The only person from his family that seems to care is his widowed seventy-eight-year-old maternal grandmother, [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]. She offers me to come live with her until the baby is born. I accept & move in with her. She’s very good to me. [name_u]Levi[/name_u] comes home for [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] break & takes me to a doctor’s appointment. I wanted to keep the gender a surprise, but excitement gets the better of me. We find out I’m having a baby girl! While he’s home for the holidays, I, him, & [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] create the spare bedroom into a baby’s nursery.

The Nursery:

[name_u]Four[/name_u] months later, I give birth to the baby. [name_u]Levi[/name_u] holds my hand the entire time. I see his eyes light up when he lays eyes on our beautiful, healthy baby girl, & I know I did the right thing telling him the truth. The two of us couldn’t settle on a first name, but we settled on a middle name: [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], or a variation of it, to honor my baby daddy’s grandmother. I let my little sister pick out a first name.

The baby’s name is [name_f]Willamina[/name_f] [name_f]Cathleen[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] Richards-Harrington.

I graduate from high school & I’ve moved in with [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] permanently. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father helps out, visits almost daily, & calls just as much. He buys his own place close to the college campus & Catherine’s house after he finishes his freshman year of college. The two of us are closer than ever now that we’re Willa’s parents. But we’ll never be more than friends… which is probably the best way.

Three years have gone by since my daughter, [name_f]Willa[/name_f], was born. She has grown into a cute, sweet, & spunky toddler that makes friends easily at her daycare & looks like her father, [name_u]Levi[/name_u], with red hair & blue eyes. I’ve moved out of Catherine’s house & into a small townhouse not far from the college I’m going to. I & [name_u]Levi[/name_u] have worked out a custody agreement over our daughter & he’s the sweetest father to her. I have one more year until I graduate & am excited for life after college.

A new male volunteer at my daughter’s daycare captures my attention. His name is [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] Matthews-Holloway & he’s a good-natured, fun-loving man whom [name_f]Willa[/name_f] adores. Three months later, I begin dating him. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father, who is protective of her & me, is at first wary of the other man but gradually they become friends. After my graduation from college, he suggests the two of us buy a house together. I agree. The two of us settle in a Victorian house in Buffalo, [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

[name_u]New[/name_u] House:

A year goes by. I’m starting my career as a graphic designer. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter loves the house & my boyfriend is amazing. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter’s father has recently gotten married - to my stepsister’s best friend, [name_f]Brittany[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] Johnson-Roth, who is just as mean & snobbish as [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. But I keep my mouth shut as long as she doesn’t give my daughter any problems. A month after the wedding, my boyfriend proposes to me.

He proposes by cooking dinner & setting up an elaborate candlelight table for the two of us when we are home alone. He serves me a glass of champagne & the ring is ribboned to the stem. Our wedding is an autumn apple theme in the fall. For our honeymoon, we go to [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_u]England[/name_u].

Wedding Dress:

Six months after my wedding, I become pregnant with my second child & [name_u]Tommy[/name_u] Jack’s first. [name_f]My[/name_f] first daughter, who is now five, is excited to be a big sister & my husband is thrilled for a baby. This time, we decide to keep the gender a surprise & create a gender neutral nursery. I have my second baby girl seven & a half months later.

The Nursery 2.0:

[name_f]My[/name_f] second daughter’s name is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] Richards-Holloway.

Three years go by quietly. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is now eight & [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is now three. I am five months pregnant with twins when, on my way to pick up my daughters from school & daycare respectively, the police pull up into the driveway. They give me earth-shattering news: my husband, who had been visiting his brother in [name_f]Manhattan[/name_f], was killed in a hit-&-run accident on his way home. I go to the police station & identify the body. It’s my husband. I break down into hysterics so badly, they have to call my eldest daughter’s father to come get me. Unable to handle it, I let my in-laws plan the funeral arrangements & lock myself inside my house with my daughters, who don’t understand where Daddy went.

As the weeks go by, I pull myself together for the sake of my children. [name_f]My[/name_f] mother comes down to help me out & [name_u]Levi[/name_u] is being especially wonderful. [name_f]My[/name_f] twin boys are born a week early.

Their names are [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] & [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] Richards-Holloway.

A year passes & another tragedy strikes. [name_f]My[/name_f] little sister, [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], is murdered by her husband in a domestic dispute & he’s arrested. Her children are left without their parents. I’m listed as next of kin. I take in the children.

[name_f]Bethany[/name_f] had a little girl of three, a little girl of two, & a little girl just born. Their names are [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], & [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] Anderson-Richards.

With my job as an advice columnist & a roof over my head, I am able to provide for the children.

Two years have gone by since my husband, [name_u]Tommy[/name_u] [name_u]Jack[/name_u], passed away. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughters, [name_f]Willa[/name_f] & [name_f]Evie[/name_f] are now ten years old & five years old. [name_f]My[/name_f] twin boys, [name_u]Danny[/name_u] & [name_u]Henry[/name_u], are now three years old. [name_f]My[/name_f] sister’s children, [name_f]Lillie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], & [name_f]Adelie[/name_f] are now five, four, & two. Everything has gotten better & everyone’s doing well.

[name_f]My[/name_f] oldest daughter’s father, [name_u]Levi[/name_u], has gotten a divorce from his wife. She gets their house & he gets their kids. Since he’s been incredible ever since my daughter with him was born, I offer that he comes to live with us in our house until he gets back onto his feet. Not wanting to be a burden to us, it takes a while for him to accept the offer. But with his children needing a new home & an opportunity to be closer to his eldest child, he agrees.

He had six more little girls with [name_f]Brittany[/name_f]. Their names are [name_f]Maryellen[/name_f] [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], [name_f]Jenevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Patience[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Angelica[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_u]Rose[/name_u] [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f], [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f], & [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] Fuller-Harrington. [name_f]Maryellen[/name_f] is three, [name_f]Jenevieve[/name_f] & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are two, [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] is one, & [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] & [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] are four months old.

I & [name_u]Levi[/name_u] have perfected life living together within months of his family moving in. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t days I want to pull my hair out. Which is why, on my birthday, he takes me out to dinner, with just the two of us. &, during the course of the evening, I feel like the sixteen-year-old new girl from [name_u]Boston[/name_u] falling in love with the school’s [name_u]Southern[/name_u] outcast all over again…

A month after that night, I & [name_u]Levi[/name_u], decide to do what we didn’t do ten, almost eleven, years ago: give a try at this relationship. [name_f]My[/name_f] daughter with him, [name_f]Willa[/name_f], is delighted when she learns this. I don’t want to get her hopes up, but after a few months, I begin to wonder what kept me back all those years ago & why I just gave up on him. I know the two of us love each other, then & now. Which is why, six months after I start dating him, I decide to do the impossible… propose!

I propose by turning off all of the lights in our house on a night we are alone & creating a trail of candles that lead to the coffee table in the living room, upon which there is a note reading, “Will you marry me?”

He says yes! I almost faint, I can’t believe it! All the children are ecstatic, especially our eldest daughter, [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. I actually let her help plan the wedding. We have a classic church wedding in [name_u]February[/name_u]. Our honeymoon is in [name_u]New[/name_u] Orleans, [name_f]Louisiana[/name_f].

Wedding Dress:

Eighteen months after our wedding, a week after our eldest daughter’s twelfth birthday, I go to the doctor’s & find out that I’m pregnant with another set of multiples. This wasn’t something me & my new husband planned, but it’s a nice surprise. & the house we’ve been living in suddenly feels small. So, we buy a bigger house in [name_u]Albany[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

[name_u]New[/name_u] House 2.0:

I have triplet girls & they are named [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f], & [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] [name_u]Lark[/name_u] Richards-Harrington.

Two years after the triplets are born, I receive a surprising letter from my stepsister, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], whom I haven’t heard from in years after she cut off all contract with me once she moved out of my stepfather’s house. She goes on explaining that, since I last saw her, she’s been married three times & had three children by each husband, all of whom abandoned her & the children. She’s on welfare, but can’t even support herself, which puts her children in danger of going to foster care. I’m the only family she has left & she asks if I & my husband will take the children in. I feel sorry for her & the children. I talk to my husband & he thinks taking the children in would be the right thing to do.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] has nine children, all of the feminine gender. Their names are [name_f]Anastacia[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u] [name_f]Therese[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] [name_f]Elora[/name_f] [name_u]Saige[/name_u], [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] [name_u]Cadence[/name_u] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] [name_u]Nichole[/name_u] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_u]Blaire[/name_u], [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] [name_u]London[/name_u] [name_f]Elyse[/name_f], & [name_f]Olivette[/name_f] [name_f]Rachael[/name_f] [name_f]Faith[/name_f] Bradley-Warren. [name_f]Anastacia[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], & [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] are six years old, [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] is three years old, [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] & [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] are two years old, [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is ten months old, & [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] & [name_f]Olivette[/name_f] are newborns.

Despite all the children we already have, I & my husband get pregnant again, but we decide this baby will be our last child. I’m coming along in age & having more kids won’t be good for my health. The single baby, a girl, is born a few weeks early & is small, but otherwise healthy & strong.

[name_f]My[/name_f] last child’s name is [name_f]Callidora[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Bethany[/name_f] Richards-Harrington.

I, now, have twenty-six children, twenty-four girls & two boys, nearly all twelve & under.
