[name]Owen[/name] and [name]Alyxia[/name] [name]Nelson[/name] first met when they shared a foster care home. [name]Owen[/name] was 17, [name]Alyxia[/name] was also 17. About a year later, after they both had graduated from high school and had moved from their foster home into a house together [name]Owen[/name] proposed to [name]Alyxia[/name]. Three months later they married, their reception was small, and they shared a few nights at a bed and breakfast for their honeymoon.
About 2 years later, after they both had earned college degrees, [name]Alyxia[/name] got a phone call. Her older brother, [name]Kyle[/name], who had had three children had been arrested and his three kids needed a place to go. Immediately [name]Alyxia[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] became parents to a 8 month old, [name]Ella[/name] [name]Mae[/name], a 3 year old, [name]Jack[/name] [name]Ezra[/name], and a 5 year old, [name]Luke[/name] [name]David[/name].
Almost 6 months later [name]Alyxia[/name] received another phone call, this time her younger sister had gotten herself into trouble. She’d had twins and was only 15 years old. Already having three children [name]Owen[/name] and [name]Alyxia[/name] knew they couldn’t let [name]Alyxia[/name]'s niece and nephew grow up without family. They became legal guardians of [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Clara[/name] when they where 3 weeks old, leaving them with a 6 year old, a 4 year old, a 14 month old, and three week old twins.
Five weeks after the twins moved in [name]Alyxia[/name] discovered she was unexpectedly pregnant. 9 months later came her and [name]Owen[/name]'s first children together, [name]Alice[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] and [name]Seth[/name] [name]Felix[/name]. They now had newborn twins, 10 month old twins, a 23 month old, a 4 year old, and a 6 year old.
[name]Alyxia[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] knew they needed to move to a larger house, so they found a 6 bedroom home with a huge yard. They wanted to have more children and decided to wait until their twins where two, so that all of the children would be older. [name]Alyxia[/name] received another phone call from the woman that had been her caseworker while she was in foster care, her sister, [name]Cami[/name], who she had barely known, and her only sibling that also had her life together, had died in a freak accident leaving behind her three children, a 10 year old named [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Rory[/name], a 7 year old named [name]McKenna[/name] [name]Rose[/name], and a 5 year old named [name]Logan[/name] [name]Riley[/name]. The children soon moved in with the [name]Nelson[/name]'s. There was now a 10 year old, two 7 year olds, two 5 year olds, a 3 year old, two 24 month olds, and two 12 month olds.
[name]Alyxia[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] decided they where done having children. While they only had two children of their own they had 8 older children, and they where both only in their 20’s. [name]Alyxia[/name] settled down as a stay at home mom, while [name]Owen[/name] worked to pay the bills. When their oldest child, [name]Addie[/name], was 13, [name]McKenna[/name] and [name]Luke[/name] where 10, [name]Logan[/name] and [name]Jack[/name] where 8, [name]Ella[/name] was 6, [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] where 5, and [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Seth[/name] where 4 both [name]Owen[/name] and [name]Alyxia[/name] where longing for another baby. They welcomed their third child, [name]Simon[/name] [name]Jude[/name].
2 years later came the adoption of [name]Hunter[/name] [name]Brady[/name] and [name]Connor[/name] [name]Greyson[/name], [name]Owen[/name]'s best friend’s, [name]Brady[/name], 6 year old twins. This friend had passed away from cancer, and the boys had been left to [name]Owen[/name] if anything was to ever happen to [name]Brady[/name].
2 years later, again, [name]Alyxia[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] longed for another baby to hold in their arms, the surprise came 7 months later, their little girl, [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] was born a few weeks early. She was in the hospital for a few weeks after her birth, but she came home and was a healthy little girl after the scare of her early arrival.
4 weeks after bringing [name]Tessa[/name] home [name]Alyxia[/name] found out she had accidentally become pregnant, 8 months later her and [name]Owen[/name] welcomed their twins, [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lola[/name] and [name]Levi[/name] [name]Thomas[/name].
When the twins, [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Levi[/name], where 8 months old [name]Owen[/name] received a phone call, his only sibling, [name]Veronica[/name], had three children who she couldn’t provide for. [name]Owen[/name] knew that they had their hands full with their 14 children but he couldn’t let his niece and nephews go to complete strangers. After talking to [name]Alyxia[/name] they became parents to three more children, a 5 year old named [name]Flynn[/name] [name]Dexter[/name], a 8 year old named [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Faith[/name], and a 3 year old named [name]Henry[/name] [name]Louis[/name].
[name]Owen[/name] added onto their house so that each child could have their own bedroom, unless they where a twin, or where the same age as another sibling. When the [name]Nelson[/name] family went out in public everyone stared at them, but none of the children cared. They where happy with their large family, and they would’t trade it for the world.
[name]Owen[/name] and [name]Alyxia[/name] had, children ranging in age from 23 to 8 months. [name]Alyxia[/name] got another phone call. Apparently her brother [name]Aaron[/name] had three children he had refused to take custody of when their mother died. [name]Bronwyn[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] was 7, [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Violet[/name] was 5, and [name]Nico[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] was 4. The [name]Nelson[/name]'s welcomed the three new children, and they quickly became attached.
Four years later the older 5 [name]Nelson[/name] children where beginning their own families. [name]Alyxia[/name] and [name]Owen[/name] where surprised to discover that [name]Alyxia[/name] was pregnant after the older children had volunteered to watch the younger ones so their parents could take a well dissevered break after raising 22 children, and being apart of their 7 grandchildren’s lives. Nine months later, when their oldest was 27, [name]Owen[/name] and [name]Alyxia[/name] welcomed their 23rd, and final child, [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Jude[/name].
