Gen. 2: Babies 8-9 Pt. 2: Little Girls, Little Girls


So Mr. Hottie has to jump up and leave in the middle of the night...mumbling something about unsubs...but he did say that he's going to get hold of some friends of his and maybe they would be interested in contributing...I'm trying really hard to not think of those kinds of comments as their way of saying, "Hey, you were cool, so I'm gonna pass you along to my friends."  


My morning sickness the next morning, right on the dot.  I really can't stand this part, but I know it's good for a healthy baby, blah, blah, blah.

While I'm upchucking, I have Aaliyah at the door yelling, "Mom!  Can you age me up now!  Please now!"

Please now?!  What kinda...?  Ugh...never mind.

"Sure," I reply between barfs, "give me just a second."


Aaliyah grows up to be a pretty teenager with my hair color.


Of course my morning sickness continues throughout the day...damn Derek Morgan and his potent seed!

Of course, I get attitude from Aaliyah.
"Ewwwww, Mom!  Don't aim toward me while you're fully loaded," she cringes.

I'm tempted, really tempted...but I don't.  I'm pretty sure that form of parenting lies somewhere between negligent and abusive...


Either way, I need to fish today so I leave Aaliyah with the babies.


I'm really getting into fishing and I have actually caught a lot...it's pretty zen for me.  I'm really glad I haven't found the smell of fish nauseating yet...you would think otherwise, considering there are so many women that have issues, but I actually enjoy it.


While I'm out, I start showing.
I would really like a boy considering both my boys have moved out, but I will be happy with either.

When I get home, I head straight to bed...the girls are all tucked in nicely.  Aaliyah turns out to be a good baby-sitter.


The next couple days are filled with skill building for the little ones...


...and homework for the school-aged children.  Maddie and Giselle want to catch up with their big sister, so they are working hard on their studies so they can age up soon.


Pregnancy Day 3 and I'm ready to burst...I love this top I found recently...it's so cute and perfect for a little pregnant lady...or a huge pregnant lady in my case.

It's the weekend, so I hurry to the kitchen and make waffles for breakfast.


I sit down with Madeline and Giselle...
"Are the waffles good, girls?" I ask.
Two stuffed faces give me a chorus of "Delicious!  Awesome!"
I'm really lucky I don't get waffle chunks all over me...serves me right I suppose.


"Do you think you girls are going to be ready for birthdays today?" I ask them.
That gets more excited squeals than my waffles...
Maddie starts, "I can't wait to become a teenager...I want to fall in love, and kiss boys..."
"Whoa, whoa," I start, "I know you're going to kiss boys, but can we keep the telling Mom part to a minimum?  At least until you need to get on The Pill?"
Maddie looks confused, "What pill?  Like asprin?"
"No...never mind.  What about you, Giselle?"
"I don't want to be around any of those stinky boys...but I do want to go to join the Drama club...that will be so fun."

My two daughters..something else..


When they get done eating, they go outside to the front porch where the easel and telescope are...and apparently a couple of cats have taken up residence.

"Mom!" Giselle squeals, "Can we keep them?"
"I'm not getting anything else I have to feed babe, sorry," I tell her.
"Aw man," I hear, but she gets over it quickly.


Since Liliana and Evelyn are also ready to age up, I order four birthday cakes and get everyone ready.


Madeline goes first.

"What are you going to wish for?" I ask.
She thinks, "I want boys to like me."
Without missing a beat, Aaliyah says, "Wish for boobs!"
I shoot her a look, but it's too late.
"Okay!" Maddie says, "I wish for boobs...bigger than Allie's."
Aaliyah looks shocked, "What a minute..."
"You asked for it," I tell her.


Well, Madeline gets boobs, just like all the girls do, but I think they're the same size as Aaliyah's...I guess a compromise.
She dresses in this slutty school girl outfit...Note to self: Take Madeline to doctor for The Pill.


I am almost afraid to ask what Giselle wants to be, but she tells me before I can ask.
"I wish to be a superstar!"
Just don't put your fingers in your pits and smell them...


She grows up with long, luxurious locks, but still looks a lot like me.


Then it's time for the toddlers...


Liliana grows up to be beautiful, as I knew she would be.



Aaliyah helps with Evelyn.

"Look at that cake, Evie!" she says.



Evelyn is beautiful too, but a little awkward...this picture was caught right after she was caught licking her plate...okay, I had a child that liked licking his hand, now one that licks plates...



Of course, because it's a birthday, I go into labor...what is it about these kids wanting to be born when there's cake around?  Oh...wait, that's it, right?


After yelling, huffing, and puffing, then pushing, I give birth to a beautiful baby girl...


But then...


I give birth to...another baby girl...


Meet the new additions of the Reed Family: 


Baby 8: Lucy Reed


...and Baby 9: Chelsea Reed.

Gen. 2: Babies 8-9 Pt. 1: Mama I'm in Love with a Criminal Mind...Profiler

*HOUSTON'S POV*


While Mom was having the new babies, I was at the prom.  It turns out she let me go...and let me ride in a limo, which beats the crap out of our P.O.S. car...and let me just say, I impressed the heck out of the Pleasant twins, Angela and Lillith, whom live in our town.  You might have heard of them.

Either way, despite being the weirdo in school, I won Prom King!  Ha-cha-cha!  I'm pretty happy about it.


I find myself racing home to get there in time for curfew...but I'm sure everyone is asleep.  I got a text from mom saying, "Having babies, stay and have fun tho, love you."

It disturbs me how nonchalant my family is about having babies.  Here my mom is, on her 6th and 7th kids, and my grandmother had 100.  I know it's a challenge and that's the point, but sometimes it's weird.


Having a big family can be cool sometimes, but like I mentioned before, it sucks being the oldest.  As soon as I walk in, I notice that my little brother and sister couldn't be bothered to pick up their clothes or the garbage.  Nice.

So after grabbing a snack, I pick up the house a bit then go to bed.

*BONNIE'S POV*


Silus and Aaliyah are up with the sun wanting breakfast.  There is nothing but cake in the fridge.

Sooo....I let them eat cake...I realize this is how Marie Antoinette got in trouble...but what are ya' gonna do?

Plus side?  I don't have to fix breakfast, so I have time to take a shower before the babies wake up.  I think y'all can agree that a shower for a mother with infants is a luxury.


Of course the shower has to break...so I lost time already...and it's not even lunch time.  Then Silus comes inside with the dog behind him yelling, "Mom!  The dog has bugs on him again!"

Crap.


So I bathe the dog with Silus behind me...

"Mom...mom...mom...mom...mom...mom..." he starts.
"Si, if you say Mom one more time, I'm going to change my name to shit and dare you to cuss."
"You told me I can't cuss," he starts.

I just look at him.

"What do you want Si?" I ask.
He gets a pitiful look on his face and asks, "Can we get a computer?"

Grr.  Have I mentioned I'm not a big fan of technology?

"I don't know..." I start.
This is what I get from him: "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeasssseeee?"
"Si, let me think about it..."
"pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssee?"
"Si..."
"please, please, please, please, please, please, please???!!!!"


So the kid wore me down.
By this time, Giselle and Maddie were awake.


"Okay Miss Giselle," I start as I pick her up, "You are going to learn to walk today."


While Silus works on the computer, Aaliyah does some painting.


Since I have been asking a lot of Houston, I let him sleep in.  Then when he wakes up, he wants to go to the movies, so I let him.  He's a big help, but I know I can manage okay without him....at least I hope!


"How would you like to age up today Giselle?" I ask my little precocious daughter.
She gasps in excitement, "Yay!  I'm gonna be a big gurl?"
That you are, my sweet face.


She is just as spunky as a child with her spiky hair and trendy outfit.


Madeline is just as sweet as ever and quiet.  My little girly girl loves to wear flowers in her hair.




My second set of twins are aging up as well.




Liliana and Evelyn aged up to be almost identical and absolutely gorgeous with dark brown hand and captivating green eyes.

I have a new baby daddy on the way, so Houston and Silus have both agree to age up and move out together.


Houston is a handsome young man with dreams of becoming a hit movie composer.


I can't help but get a little emotional to say goodbye to my oldest child.  One down, 99 to go.

"I'm going to miss you, my first born." I tell him as I give him a big hug.
"You're going to miss my indentured servant abilities, you mean," he jokes.  At least I hope he jokes.


Silus, on the other hand, is a dashing young man with dreams of being a power player in the business world.

As they both leave for their own lives, I hear a knock at the door.  The new baby daddy, right on time.


As soon as I open the door and let this gorgeous specimen of a human man, none other than Derek Morgan, profiler for the FBI and well-known hottie.  Tonight is most definitely going to be fun.


"I really appreciate you taking the time to be here," I tell him.
"Anything, baby girl," he says in his trademark voice of velvet.

Once again, tonight is definitely going to be fun.


We get right down to the fun part...I hear the lullaby on the first try, but I don't fess up to hearing it until the third time...a girl's gotta have her fun.  ;)
