Help the Mister That Comes Between Me and My Sister


Three more girls and one boy...is it any wonder I've been busy?  Thank goodness they're aging up...


Dewey is a little cutie.  He has my mom's hair, my dad's eyes, and his father's nose.


Lois is a cutie too.  She has my eyes and coloring and her father's nose.


Murphy looks a lot like Lois, but there's a slight difference in her lips.


Christine is the oddball.  She has her father's eyes.


Kenny is a big help with his siblings...


Of course, sometimes it gets to him...
Me: Hey, what's going on, hon?
Kenny: I'm sorry, Mom...I'm just...tired.
Me: I know it's hard sweetie, I'm really happy you're willing to help me, but you know you don't have to.


I make Kenny's favorite for dinner as a special treat.  Both of us go to sleep right after we eat.


The babies wake up bright and early...


I have to admit, sometimes the screaming still gets to me.


Once I get them all taken care of in the morning, I take a little nap.


As for Cici and Debbie, they don't get along too well.  Cici constantly teases her sister.


Debbie: *GASP* Mom!  Cici scared me!
Me: Cici!  Quit scaring your sister!
Cici: I didn't!
Debbie: Mo-om!  She's...
Me: Cici!  Quit lying!


Well, both girls were ready, so I aged them up.  Cici became the queen bee of her high school.  According to Debbie, people cringed in terror as she walked by.  All the girls emulated her and were terrified of her.


Debbie is much more low key.  She's a beautiful girl with a big heart, but she's also quiet and studious.


Cici continues to terrorize Debbie, only as high school girls can do.
Cici: Hey, Debs...want to go to the mall with me?  Oh wait, I don't shop at Value City!  Haha!
Debbie never stood up for herself, she just walked away.


Both girls help me with the quads, but they certainly don't get along.


Only once did I try to feed all the quads in their high chairs and go about my normal baby schedule...it took about five hours.


Soon enough, it was time for the quads to age up!
Murphy: Mommy, I's gots a secwet!
Me: What baby?
Murphy: I's gunna grow up today!
Me: You are?  That's your secret?
Murphy: Yup!  *giggles, giggles*


Dewey is a little contemplative boy that looks a lot like me.


Lois also looks a lot like me!


Murphy and Lois look a lot alike!


Christine is still the oddball...and she tends to roll her eyes a lot.


It was also time for Kenny to grow up and move out!


He's growing a beard and trying his luck at being a director.


After all the commotion, I get in the hot tub to relax.  Man, I could use a break!


I get what I wish for when I get sent on a free vacation.  I just hope Cici and Debbie don't kill each other.

***CICI'S POV***


As son as I hear the cab roll away, I am super excited!  I can't wait for the epic party I'm going to throw while Mom's away...


Yeah, I should probably go to school, but if this isn't the perfect opportunity to skip, I don't know what is.  That loser of a sister of mine has already gotten on the bus.  Ugh, I would have so much more respect for her if she wasn't such a dork.  As it is, she's such an easy target.


So once everyone is gone, I just relax and have the entire house to myself...ahhh!  I don't think even Mom ever has the house to herself!


So I get to planning my party ASAP...


And booby trap the shower...just because.  ;)


The first guy that gets here is lame, lame, double lame.  Ugh, he won't shut up!  I really hope cooler people show up!


Dude, you're for real, pissing me off!


I guess I have to put him in his place...they don't call me Queen Bee for nothing!


Cici: ...and if you don't shut up, you'll get another!
Don't worry about him, he gets back up and starts following me around like a lost puppy dog, once again.


Oooh, just as I say that, a couple of the hottest guys in school show up!  Hmm, things are looking up!


So the party starts off in full swing...everyone's here...everyone's enjoying themselves...

***DEBBIE'S POV***


I have been in love with Scott Wesley since elementary school...and here he is...in my house...talking to me! *gulp*  I can't believe it!  He's so gorgeous!


He's laughing at everything I'm saying...I don't sound like a total dork...which is a first...*swoon*!  I can't believe it!  Maybe he's been in love with me all this time too!


The conversation gets a little flirty...I think he might want to kiss me...


I look into his gorgeous green eyes and my heart is pounding so hard, I can barely stand it, but I lean in a little closer...


I lean in to kiss him...he backs away a little bit...


Scott: Whoa!  What are you doing?
Debbie: What do you mean?  Don't you like me?


Scott: Are you crazy?  Why would I like a loser like you?


I'm speechless...I don't know what to say...my heart is literally breaking into a million pieces.  I can't believe this....I can't believe what I'm hearing...


This is my worst nightmare.  Not only does Scott Wesley not like me, but he's declaring his utter disgust for me in the middle of a party in my house!  I want to run to my room and cry...but I can't, because there's a couple making out in there...I can't go anywhere that isn't full of people...


I have no choice.  Cici has never been like a real sister to me, but I really need her now.  I hope she won't turn me away.

***CICI'S POV***


So, I'm talking to these three guys when all of a sudden, Debbie comes running outside, bawling her eyes out.  She reaches out to hug me and normally I have a strict "no touching" rule, but...well, she just looks so...sad...like, sadder than I've ever seen her.  Sadder than when I stole her favorite doll and cut all its hair...sadder than when I told her Harry Potter wasn't real...and sadder than when I told her Edward Cullen would totally marry me before he married her....like, this is for real sad.
"Debs, what's wrong?" I ask, embracing her.


I rub her back as she explains what that jerko, Scott Wesley did to her.  Ugh, I mean, he's hot...but who does he think he is, treating my sister this way?  No one treats Cici Reed's sister like crap!
"Don't worry, sis," I tell her, "I'll get him back."
"How?" she sniffles.
"Hel-lo?  Have we met?" I tell her, "I'm the girl that pretty much terrorizes everyone...I was born for this."


Scott's inside, chatting up his buddy, Adam Pascal.  They better not be in there making fun of my sister.  My face is turning redder by the second, they're making me so mad.


So I sashay past them...like any reasonably hot girl would do...God bless short skirts, am I right?
"Hey boys," I greet them in my sexiest sounding voice.


See, I kind of have this gift.  Boys tend to follow me...and these boys were no different.
"Hey, Cici," Scott replies.  Adam just stares.


So I reel him in...make sure there's a crowd...and BAM!


Just before he reaches in to kiss me, I scream, "Ew!  You pathetic loser!  You have to be out of your mind to think you can get with this!  Especially after the way you treated my sister!  And with that skanky smelling breath!  Yuck!  What'd you do...brush your teeth with curdled milk before you came out?  Ugh!  Girls, I'm telling you, take one whiff of that and swear of milkshakes for good!"


Scott tries to fight back, but really, is there any contest?  Uh, no.  Even Adam was like, "Dude, that wasn't cool."


AND it turns out, Adam actually has a crush on Debbie!  He asks her to dance and everything!

***DEBBIE'S POV***


Adam Pascal is a much better fit for me anyway...and he dances really well.  He's always smiling at me.  I think I'm in love!  *swoon*


We even sit under the stars...and he doesn't shoo my hand away when I lay it on top of his...OMG!  Maybe he really likes me too!


Debbie: Adam, I have a confession to make...
Adam: Yeah...
Debbie: I really...really like you...
Adam: I really like you too...I have liked you since the day I saw you...
Debbie: *giggle* that was kindergarten!
Adam: Yeah, I know.


Then I lean in and get my first ever real kiss!  *swoon*
The future Mr. & Mrs. Adam Pascal....no...wait...maybe Mr. & Mrs. Adam and Debbie Pascal...no...maybe I want to keep my name...Ms. Debbie Reed-Pascal...no...eh, I don't know...

***CICI'S POV***


With Debbie all straightened out, I'm waiting for my knight in shining armor...aka Barney Aziel.  He's pretty dumb, I mean, he's a pizza delivery boy for pete's sake!  But he's cute enough, he's out of high school...and he has a car...but he isn't here yet...ugh! 


Barney: Hey babe.
Ugh, and why, oh why do I attract a string of men that call me babe?


Cici: Where the hell have you been?  I'm throwing a party, and you can't even be bothered to be here on time?
Barney: Whoa, chill, babe...I'm here now...so...your mom's not home, right?  What do you say about going upstairs?
Cici: Are you always this stupid, or are you making special effort today?

Well, I pout and whine until he takes me out driving!  Eeek!  Thank goodness mom left her car...even though she'd kill me if she knew I had it out...this is the one Grams gave her after hers was totaled.


Well, the driving lesson doesn't last long...and I get home to see everyone passed out in my room on the floor...


Then the cops are called!  Oh no!  Mom is going to kill me!

***HADLEY'S POV***


After seeing the state of the house, all the kids passed out on the floor...I don't know what to say to Cici.
Me: Cici, I think you know better than this.
Cici: Mom, I swear, I just wanted a few friends over, but it got out of hand...


Me: DON'T LIE TO ME!  I'm getting sick and tired of all the lies, seriously, Cici, what do you take me for? An idiot?  And I know how badly you treat everyone around you...your friends at school...your SISTER.  Do you have no regard for anyone but yourself?
Cici: Come on, Mom.  You have to claw your way to the top...stepping on anyone and everyone that gets in your way...
Me: I am shocked that you actually feel that way.  Where did you get that idea?
Cici: Darwin...survival of the fittest?  We need to weed the weak out to prosper.  It's not my fault, Mom.  It's nature.
Me:  Hmm, well, it's also nature for you go stand up against that wall and think about what you've done.

Cici: Mo-om!  I'm not a child!  I'm almost grown up, you can't put me in timeout!
Me: Watch me!  You're going to be treated like a child until you stop acting like one...and that kind of insensitive, cruel, and heartless thinking will not be tolerated in this house.  Hop to it!


Cici: *muttering* ...can't believe....have to be standing up against the wall like a little girl...grrr...
Grumble, grumble, grumble.


Debbie must be punished too.  Even though I'm sure she didn't start the party, she didn't stop it either.  Perhaps this can be a lesson in standing up for yourself as well.
