You’ve been dating a boy since you were in Elementary School, [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Roger[/name_m] Corrigan. When you’re sixteen, he reveals to you that he has cancer and is dying, and decide to go out with one last hoorah, which leaves you seventeen, pregnant, and the baby fatherless. You have a beautiful baby boy named [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] Corrigan, named after his daddy, and call him [name_m]Jack[/name_m].
You think your life is coming together, finally, after three years and your twentieth birthday. You couldn’t be more excited for the birth of your baby sister and baby [name_m]Jack[/name_m]'s aunt, until you’re told that your mom died in child birth leaving you your baby sister. To honor your mom, a lover of nature, you name her [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u].
As a busy single mommy, you would have never expected to meet the most gorgeous man, [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], of the [name_f]Air[/name_f] Force. When [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is nine and [name_u]Linden[/name_u] is six, you exchange your vows and get married. The wedding has a dust red and gold theme, [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is your ring bearer and [name_u]Linden[/name_u] is, of course, the cutest little flower girl you’ve ever seen.
A year later, you find yourself pregnant, and anxiously await for your baby girl to arrive on [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] day. In spirit of the holiday, you name her [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], [name_u]Josie[/name_u]. The next year, you & [name_m]Nate[/name_m] take a break from the three kids to take a late honeymoon to [name_u]Paris[/name_u].
Nauseous after the trip, you suspect you may be pregnant once again. Sure enough, you deliver a gorgeous giggling girl on mother’s day. You name her [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] [name_m]York[/name_m] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], known to the family as [name_f]Gini[/name_f].
Three years later, your husband declares that since he was adopted, he’d like to add an adopted munchkin to your family of four bouncing kids. You fall in love with a seven month old baby girl, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] Isakara Petrov, from [name_f]Russia[/name_f] who cannot be separated from her six year old sister, [name_f]Natalya[/name_f] [name_f]Diane[/name_f] Petrov. The family adds them with ease to feel at home.
A year later, once you just start getting in the groove of taking care of six kids, sixteen year old [name_m]Jack[/name_m], thirteen year old [name_u]Linden[/name_u], seven year old [name_f]Natalya[/name_f], six year old [name_u]Josie[/name_u], four year old [name_f]Gini[/name_f], and one year old [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and had just sent [name_m]Nate[/name_m] back overseas, you get a call to tell you that your beloved husband has passed away. Now all of your children have a parent who has passed, and you’ve lost the two true loves of your life, and your mother.
At thirty three, you bury a loved one for the second time. The funeral is in his home town. [name_m]Jack[/name_m] arrives in a tuxedo, and the girls have matching black dresses.
To your surprise, a week after the funeral, while still staying in [name_m]Nate[/name_m]'s mother’s home, you discover you’re pregnant. Your six kids need to make some room because this time, it’s triplets! Two boys and another baby girl. [name_m]Jack[/name_m] promises to help out as much as he can, and helps you name the boys. One is named [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], to honor your recently passed husband, and the other is [name_m]Jake[/name_m] [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m], to show your appreciation towards [name_m]Jack[/name_m]'s devotion. [name_u]Linden[/name_u] begs to name the girl, so you allow her to pick an S name. She decides on [name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Elisa[/name_f] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m].
In your husbands will, he states that he wants you to have one more child, probably because he didn’t know that he had his boys that he wanted so much. You reluctantly decide, even though you already gave him three more children than he knew about, you’ll honor him in giving him his last child, after waiting three years for the triplets to get a bit easier to handle. You deliver a girl named [name_f]Nataly[/name_f] (NAY-taly) [name_u]Carter[/name_u] [name_m]Clayton[/name_m].
You decide to add one more to your bunch of ten, forcing you out of your already crowded house. [name_m]Jack[/name_m] moved out and [name_u]Linden[/name_u] is on the verge of doing so, you have your own room, temporarily, you put [name_u]Linden[/name_u] (17), [name_u]Josie[/name_u] (10), and [name_f]Natalya[/name_f] (12) all in the same room, [name_f]Gini[/name_f] (8) and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (5) in another, [name_f]Sally[/name_f] (3) and [name_f]Nataly[/name_f] (newborn) share, while [name_u]Drew[/name_u] and [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] (3) take up the other room. http://www.theplancollection.com/Upload/Designers/107/1085/ELEV_lr71000358frontelve1_229_134.JPG
Adding one more with a donor, two years later, led you to having twins! You have them in your room for the time being, in order not cause a stir in the room sharing assignments. You call them [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] Steinbeck (EJ) & [name_m]Jonathon[/name_m] [name_m]Adam[/name_m] Steinbeck ([name_m]Jonny[/name_m])
Three years later, at forty one, you have three kids, [name_m]Jack[/name_m] (25), [name_u]Linden[/name_u] (22) & [name_f]Natalya[/name_f] (18), out of the house. [name_u]Josie[/name_u] (15) is on her own in her room, [name_f]Gini[/name_f] (11) shares with [name_f]Eve[/name_f] (8), [name_f]Sally[/name_f] (6) and [name_f]Nataly[/name_f] (3), [name_u]Drew[/name_u] & [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] (6), and EJ & [name_m]Jonny[/name_m] (3). Unexpectedly, your best friend passes away in a fire with her husband, leaving you, her most nurturing friend, to care for her four month old twin girls, [name_f]Analisa[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u] & [name_f]Gracen[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_m]Roberts[/name_m].
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] runs into some trouble with law (nothing serious) at 26, and introduces you to his lawyer. You fall in love with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] Steinbeck and marry him, later finding out that he is the father of EJ & [name_m]Jonny[/name_m]. He wants one more child all of his own, and so, at forty two, you try for one last child. [name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] Steinbeck was born on Valentines [name_u]Day[/name_u].
