Valjean rushed Fantine into the hospital. She was having strong contractions now even though she was still early from her due date. She was pregnant with triplets and wasn't suppose to have them for a least another week or two but the babies had other ideas. The nurses rushed her to a room and within an hour they had 3 baby girls. One had blond hair and looked a lot like Valjean who they named Cosette. Another one had brown hair and looked like Fantine who they named Eponine. The last one had red hair and looked like both of them which surprised them because neither of them had red hair but they loved her anyway, they named her Musichetta. The nurses took the three girls to get tests and other things done.
Monsieur and Madame Thenardier desperately wanted a child but soon found out from the doctor that there would be no way that they would be able to have one. The two were devastated but came up with a plan doing what they do best. Madame Thenardier dressed up like a nurse and went into the nursery wing of the hospital. When the coast was clear, she slipped into the room when none of the nurse's were in there and no one was at the window looking at the all the babies. She looked around and found a few babies. She stumbled upon 3 little girls, Cosette, Musichetta, and Eponine. Eponine she thought before she quickly grabbed her and ran out of the hospital. She quickly went home to show her husband who quickly approved.
"Yes, she will do nicely." He said while look at "his" new daughter.
Valjean and Fantine were just sitting and talking when one of the nurse's (Isla) came in with a worried/scared/panic look.
"Is everything alright?" Valjean asked as soon as he had seen her face
"Um, no." She said
"What's wrong?" Fantine asked starting to get nervous that something was wrong with one of her babies
"Um," the nurse began,"Everything is fine with Cosette and Musichetta."
Fantine gave a sigh of relief before remembering Eponine. Valjean seem to read her mind (he had a habit of that) and asked the question for her.
"What about Eponine?"
The nurse put on a brave face and looked them both in the eye.
"She's missing, but we're doing everything in our power to find her. We've contacted the police as well as the head of security to see if they can find anything." She said.
Valjean looked at his wife and saw the fear in her eyes as she did the same. He grabbed her hand before looking at the nurse. She saw the fear in his eyes.
"Your other two are fine, would you like me to bring them in?" She asked
"Yes please." Valjean said before Isla went out to go get Cosette and Musichetta. As soon as she left Fantine burst into tears. Valjean cradled her in his arms as she cried her heart out and he too cried, though not as much as Fantine.
Isla soon came in with two carts. One holding Cosette, the other holding Musichetta. Isla got them both out and handed Cosette to Fantine and Musichetta to Valjean before leaving. The two cried at the lost of their third daughter, but was still grateful that they had their other two. Within the next two days, Valjean and Fantine were allowed to leave with Cosette and Musichetta. They still had no word on Eponine but still had hope for her. A few months past and they began to lose hope. Within a few years they had moved on but still had a place in their hearts for her.
16 years later
Eponine had just moved to a new school. She was trying to get ready and leave without waking up her parents. For as long as she can remember, they had never been a happy family. She was an only child and whenever her father was drunk or was angry, he took it out on her. He did this for as long as she could remember. They had fled from their old house because of her parents habit and her father's gang followed, the Patron-Minette. She was able to get ready and shut the door without making too much noise to wake up the Patron-Minette who were passed out, drunk on the floor. She wore black skinny jeans, black converse, an old worn-out t-shirt, and a baggy jacket. She eventually found her way to school thanks to her phone and eventually to the headmaster's office.
Valjean and Fantine had 4 more kids after Cosette, Eponine, and Musichetta. They had another girl and 3 boys. Azelma was born when Cosette and Musichetta were 2. Gavroche was born when Cosette and Musichetta were 4 and Azelma was 2. Finally when Cosette and Musichetta were 6, Azelma was 4, and Gavroche was 2, they had their final kids, twins. Peter and Jace were unexpected but they were happy anyway. Now, Cosette and Musichetta were 16, Azelma was 14, Gavroche was 12, and Peter and Jace were 8. Valjean and Fantine never told Cosette and Musichetta about their sister. They were waiting for the "right moment" when in reality they didn't want to accept the fact that their daughter was never coming home. Valjean worked as headmaster at a high school and Fantine taught at an elementary school.
Eponine walked into the school's court yard. To her, the school looked deserted. She checked her phone which read 7:45. She walked around for a bit before finally finding the headmaster's office. Mr. Fauchelevent. Huh, Eponine thought Why does that sound so familiar? She shook that thought away and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A voice, who she assumed was Mr. Fauchelevent, said that came from behind the door.
Eponine opened the door and walked in, shutting the door behind her. At least her parents were nice enough to get her registered into school.
"Um, hi. I'm new." Was all she said while looking at Mr. Fauchelevent. Something about him was just so familiar.
"Ah yes. We've been expecting you." Valjean said while standing up.
We've? Eponine thought? Who's we've. Oh, god, please tell me they don't have a welcoming committee. The last thing I need is to be announced to everyone.
Valjean saw the look on her face thinking that they had planned some big assembly or something.
"Just so you know, by 'we've', I mean me and my two oldest daughters, they will be showing you around today." He said so nothing too irrational could go through her brain. Eponine gave a quiet sigh of relief before looking at him. God, why does he look so familiar? Valjean thought the same thing of her.
The two just stared at one another for a minute before Valjean broke the silence.
"You'll need to fill out a few forms and paperwork since when your parents called they had told me that they wouldn't be able to come in because of work. So you'll need to have these filled out and returned by the end of the day to the office." Valjean said while gathering some papers to give her. He handed the papers to her when someone knocked on the door. Two girls came in one with long blond hair and one with long dark red hair.
Valjean sighed."'Chetta, what did you do with your hair?"
"What?" The one with the long dark red hair said."Mom's the one who did it not me." She said while turning to look at the blond girl who just nodded. Valjean just sighed again while Eponine just stood there awkwardly. Valjean quickly remembered her. He turned to look at Eponine.
"These are my daughters, this is Cosette," he said while gesturing to the blond girl,"and this is Musichetta." He said while gesturing to the dark red girl.
"Nice to meet you." They both said in unison
"Girls," Valjean said looking at his daughters,"since she is new, I would like you to show her around."
"Ok." They both said in unison again
"She already has her schedule and everything so I want you to show her to her class, to her locker, the office, and anything else." He said.
"Ok." They said once again in unison. Do these two just have some kind of weird psychic thing or what? Eponine thought. Valjean turned to Eponine.
"If you have any question, please feel free to ask." He said with a smile. Eponine just nodded her head. Cosette and Musichetta walked out if the door and Eponine followed them. Cosette and Musichetta stopped outside their father's door and waiting for Eponine. When she followed them out they said goodbye to their dad.
"Bye dad." They said in unison, again. Jeez, Eponine thought, do these two say everything in unison?
"Bye girls." Valjean said waving to his daughters as they waved back. The three girls began walking down a long corridor when Eponine decided to question them.
"So," Eponine began,"do you guys say everything in unison or does that just happen to be a coincidence, a lot?" She asked
Cosette looked at Musichetta before both girls burst out laughing while Eponine just stood there awkwardly. Cosette and Musichetta both stopped laughing after a few seconds.
"Oh no," Cosette said noticing Eponines position,"we just say things in unison without realizing it, me and 'Chetta are twins." She said
"You guys are twins?" Eponine asked
"Yeah, although we aren't identical twins and the chances of non-fraternal twins not being identical, are like 1 in a billion, or something like that. It's more common in triplets than twins but it can happen." Musichetta said
"Yeah, we have two youn-" Cosette began but was quickly cut off by the sound of someone arguing. The three girls turned to see a bunch of guys walking towards them and from what Eponine saw there was about at least 7-9 guys
"Well, if you would've study like I told you," Someone tall person with blond curly hair said,"then you wouldn't have gotten an F now would you?" He said to a slightly smaller, black hair kid.
"Well, if you wouldn't tied me to a chair, then maybe I would of study." The black hair kid replied.
"No wouldn't R." The blond kid replied. The two continued to bicker back and forth while Cosette and Musichetta laughed. The guys approached the girls and Eponine stood behind Cosette and Musichetta as she watched the girls interact with the guys. While the girls were talking with the guys, Eponine was about to leave when someone noticed her.
"Hey, who's your friend?" A guy with curly black hair asked. Cosette and Musichetta quickly remembered that they were suppose to to show the new girl around.
"Oh, she's new." Cosette said
"Oh." The kid with curly black hair said. Eponine just looked at all of these people wondering who in the world they were.
"Well, we might as well introduce to them while we're here." Musichetta said
"This is the Les Amis, Enjolras, Combeferre, Courfeyrac, Lesgle or Bousset, Jehan, Joly, Marius, Feuilly, Bahorel, and Grantaire." She said
"Nice to meet you, I hope you-ah." Courfeyrac began but was quickly cut off by someone jumping on his back. Eponine also saw two younger boys run up and hug Cosette and Musichetta.
"GAVROCHE, PETER, JACE!" They heard someone yell. A girl with dark auburn hair came around the corner. The kid who had jumped on Courfeyrac back quickly jumped off and the two kids who were hugging Cosette and Musichetta quickly hid behind them
"Azelma, quit scaring Peter and Jace." Musichetta said while glaring at her sister.
"They ran away from mom again." Azelma said with an annoyed look on her face
"We only ran after Gav." They two younger kids said while peeking out from behind their sister. Eponine could clearly see that they were twins
"I saw Courf!" The young kid, who Eponine assumed was Gavroche, said
"Kids," A older looking woman who couldn't be older than in her late 30's said as she came around the corner,"it's fine." She said as Valjean came up and kissed her on the cheek. Eponine felt very out of place.
"Well, I should get going." She said not wanting to be in the situation any longer
"Wait!" Courfeyrac exclaimed,"We didn't get your name."
"Eponine" She said with a small smile
Valjean and Fantine looked at each other and though No, it couldn't, could it?
