Alex pro-

My life sucks! It was so only way I could describe it

My father is dead and my mother is a bitch.

My father died from a car crash 8 months ago, he was going to get me new headphones for my iPod and peppers for my mum because it was all she wanted, he said he would only be gone for less than 15 minutes but it turned out he is gone forever, if I could change that day I would do it in a heartbeat… my mother at the time was pregnant with quadruples, two girl and two boys. She and Dad were soul mates and she blames me and the babies for his death, of course she didn't say that but everyone knew she did and it is my fault.

After my mother had two beautiful girls, Iris and India and two handsome boys Griffin and Garrett and she was out of the hospital as soon as she could, she ran out before anyone noticed.

She ran out an hour after giving birth, two hours she was packed and left for her job. She didn't even name them, she just looked at them and pretended to go to sleep, I named them and held them, my brothers and sisters, and I vowed I would be the best sister I could be.

The head doctor told me she left and I was just speechless, she didn't even sent me the god dammed text, she sent it to the head doctor, he was shocked, he was going to call the police but I told him not to, I told him I will be raising them, he said no at first but then I told him I wasn't letting my brothers and sisters be up for adopted and after talking for an hour about it he finally gave in.

He told me everything to do and I told him I already now and that I knew my mother would get a job far from here and I would be left to take care of them. He helped me get them all into their car seats and followed me home, gave me his number and made sure everything was alright, the last time I heard from him.

I lived in LA then but decided I wanted to live where my dad was born and raised, I was always closer to him then to my mother, when I told mum she said whatever and she had to go because she had an important meeting, she sends me eight thousand dollars a week, I sold my old home and bought a new one, a small two story house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and lounge room.

The outside of the house was white and grey, since La Push is so forest-y trees where everywhere, so much green, almost blinding.

I had the radio on softly, all four babies were sleeping as I pull up to the house, I had paid for all the babies stuff and mine to be set up and paid someone to pay furniture for the house, I honestly don't care what is looks like, just as long as she babies things are all here.

I get out of the car and shut the door quietly (Car on profile), I ran up to the front door and unlock it, leaving it wide open, I grab Iris and Griffins car seat and bring them into the house, I walk into the kitchen (on profile) and sit them on the bench and then run back to get India and Garrett, I shut the car door with my foot and do the same with the front door and bring them to the kitchen.

"Dam" I mumble, I forgot the babies' bag, and I ran back to the car and quickly get it.

It nearly has been two hours since there last feed and just as I thought that I hear all four of them wake up.

"Shhhhh, it's alright, sissy is here" I say to them calmly, I grab four peat heated bottles and feed Garrett first and burb him and lay him back in his seat, I do them same thing with India, Griffin then Iris, they all fall asleep within ten minutes while I quietly sing to them.

They are all so beautiful, they look so peaceful when they are sleeping, I smile, they look like little angels, I love my brothers and sisters, and I just wish they had a father who was still alive and a mother you gave a dam.

People say I look like my father, lightly tanned skin, grey/blue eyes, not tall but not short, all like him. My dark brown hair was long, nice legs… my mother says I have her 'amazing curves' as she calls them. I am a bit more skinny then I was before, the stress of my father dying and stuff I guess you could say, C cup and a 'good looking bum' my friends would say, people would say I have a dancers body (Picture of her on profile)

I look around the kitchen to get a better look, good size kitchen, everything was set up but the fridge, I would have to go shopping but I can't leave the babies alone, I will somehow have to find a babysitter while staying in the house.

I walk into the living room (or lounge room), wooden floors, big sofa and two matching chairs, they looked so comfy!

A small bathroom was down the hall, just a simple toilet and sink.

I walk back to the kitchen and check on the babies before walking up stairs, the outside of this house looks so small but everything is bigger than you would think it would be.

Once I reach the second floor I go to the only door on the right side, I knew this was the nursery. Since the room is the biggest in the house I decided it would be the babies' nursery, this is the only room besides mine that I care about, and I set this room up (and hers). You see I have been in this house once to set up there room, of course I didn't pay attention to any others which is why it's all new to me, the person who I had hired to pay everything and set it all up help me as well ( his name is John).

After dad died mum threw everything she got for the babies so I had to pay everything, John was a bit confused on how to set everything up so I hired a baby sitter and drove down here, he didn't want me to see the house (inside or out) so he covered me eyes and lead me to the nursery, everything I had bought was there so with his help we finished the nursery in less than four hours ( her took another hour because all she did was tell him where everything should go).

I open the nursery door and gasp, even though I had seen it once it still looked amazing, since the room was big enough we divided to room into two, one half purple, one half light blue.

The purple side had a white cot with a blossom bed cover, the walls where a light purple and in the cornea was a white tree with birds flying, I did all those birds as well, there was a white lounge chair and a long white rug that went as long as the other side of the room.

The blue side had the same as the purple side but instead of purple it was blue and the bed cover had animals on it (nursery on profile, I only have the purple one up so you will have imagine it in blue as well and I'll just say it again, the room is big so they spilt it in two sides, one purple and one blue, the purple is on profile but I couldn't find the blue so where everything is purple just imagine it's blue, everything else the same) . Next to the chair there was a shelf with baby books and the toys and a changing table, a small wardrobe for all their clothes and on the wall there was pictures that I took of them, some of them I am holding them and others just them together (she loves photograph).

I smile and walk out of the room and into mine (Can't be bothered explaining what is looks like, picture on profile but the bed is higher and there is a door connected to the nursery to her room and her room is smaller.)

I walk back down stairs and take Griffin and India to their new room, I take India out first and place her gently in the cot, she is a heavy sleeper while Griffin is a light sleeper like the rest of them, once I place Griffin down he begins to stir, I sigh and walk back down stairs to grab Iris and Garrett and settle them down into their cots. I set up a baby monitor next to both cots (she has three monitors) and open the door to my room, leaving it open so I could still see the nursery, I change out of my jeans and long sleeve top and into black trackies and a tank top.

I hear the doorbell ring and I run down stairs and to the front door as quickly as possible with the baby monitor in hand, hoping that the bell didn't wake any of them up, I open up the door to see an old lady.

"Hello dear, my name is Jill, I just wanted to welcome you to La Push" she says, smiling gently.

"Thanks Jill, my name is Alexandra but Alex for short" I say, fake smiling, I was just so tired and sad, she seems nice but I still have my guard up, I can risk getting hurt again by anyone and I don't want any of the babies in harm's way.

"I baked you a pie dear, you must be tired from moving and taking care of four babies" my mouth drops, how did she know.

"I live near you and saw you carry them inside" she says to me.

"There my brothers and sisters and I would like it if no one knew" I say to her seriously.

"Oh dear I understand" she says gently and hands me the pie.

"Would you like to come in" I ask her, she was around sixty and it's freezing outside.

"Thank you dear" I move to the side at let her in, I shut the door and guide her to the kitchen, telling her to sit down at the large table while I place the pie on the bench.

"Where is your mother?" she asks me.

"She had something really important on, she'll be down here in a couple days" I say, lying to the old lady.

"You have school tomorrow?" I nod "Do you need a babysitter?" I nod "I can babysit, I have had five children and eight grandchildren" she says while lightly laughing.

"You wouldn't mind?" I ask her.

"No dear, your mum is quite lucky to have you, to take care of her children, your brothers and sister" oh, if only she knew "do you mind if I ask you your last name?"

"Levi" I say her she smiles bigger if possible.

"I knew your father and his father, the Levi's are well respected her, like the Blacks" I nod "You will be welcomed with open arms"

"I will leave for school around eight forty, will that be alright?" she nods "I'll be back as soon as possible, the babies to feed on breast milk since mum" I bite my cheek, having trouble calling her that "is gone, formal every two hours… you already know this, sorry" I say to her.

"No dear, it's alright, you're just making sure, where's you father?"

"He's dead" I say with no emotion in my voice.

"Oh... I am so sorry-"

"It's alright; I'll show you the nursery" I say, getting up and leading her upstairs and to the nursery, still carrying the monitor (she hadn't let it go yet)

"Oh my…. It's beautiful" she says "who did all of this?" she looks around as she asks me.

"Me actually, I painted the birds on as well" I say quietly.

"You have a gift" she says to me, I lead her over to the purple side where Iris and India laid, sleeping.

"This is Iris" I point to Iris, she was wearing a small white one piece that she barely fit into "And India" I say softly, India was in a light pink one piece "Iris's eyes are more bluer while India's is more blue/ green colour"

I walk over to the blue side where Garrett and Griffin lay, sound asleep as well "This is Griffin" I point to him he was in a red one piece "And Garrett" in a light blue one piece "Garrett's hair is longer than Griffin while Griffin's is more shorter" I say softy "There all light sleepers but India, I feed them all about thirty minutes ago"

"It's hard, isn't it, I only raised one baby at a time, not four" she says while smiling at me "There so small, how old are they and you?"

"They are one month old, I'm 16, they were a month early, my mother went into labour from stress… raising them has been hard but there my brothers and sisters, I love them with all my heart and would do anything for them… all of them are little angels, so perfect" There was a minute of silence.

"You are a remarkable women, at the age of 16 you're raising four babies by yourself" she says, breaking the silence.

"I don't want people finding out about them, I want to keep them safe, there are so many bad things and people out there that could easily hurt them…" I say to her honestly.

"Just don't shut out the people who want to help you" I nod "I'll be here at eight thirty" I nod to her "Is there anything you need, food?"

"I need to go shopping for food" I say to her, quietly shutting the nursery door and going down stairs to the front door.

"I can do that for you dear" I am shocked by her offer

"Are you sure Jill, I don't-" but she cuts me off.

"It's alright dear, I need to get a few things there anyway" I stay silent for a minute, chewing it over.

"If you're sure?" she nods, I leave her at the front door and grab my wallet from the kitchen and hand her two hundred dollars.

"For the food, I can't let you pay for it" she nods and she says her goodbyes and leaves.

Jill is nice and for some reason I feel like I can trust her but if she hurts any of my brothers or sisters in any way I would kill her, I guess you could say I like mama bear but a million times worse, they mean the world to me and I would kill myself if anything happened to them.

(2 hours later)

I had just finished feeding, changing the babies' nappies and putting them back to bed when the doorbell rang; it was around eight a clock, with the baby monitor in hand I run down stairs and open the door to see Jill carrying four bags, I take them out of her hand and put then on the kitchen bench and went back to help her get the rest.

"Here's the change" Jill says while smiling, her hand with the change left over.

"No Jill, it's aright" I say to her.

"But I can't-" but I cut her off gently

"Consider it a bonus, for helping me" she knew I wasn't going to take the money so she took it with a sigh.

"Better cook my husband some food know, he should be home by now"

"Oh my god, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to keep-"

"It's alright, he still works even though he is sixty" she laughs "I'll see you later dear" she says and quietly shuts the front door.

I pack away the food quickly and take the nappies that Jill also bough upstairs, I put them under the changing table, I am lucky my brothers and sisters fit in them, only just, they were still loose.

I walk over to where Griffin and Garrett slept and check that there alright and do the same to Iris and India.

"I love you angels" I say quietly to them and walk to my room (remember she is using the door that connects her to the nursery)

I sit on my head with a sigh, it was nine a clock, I am so tired, and I place the baby monitor on my bed side table and climb under the covers and drifting off to sleep.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter, review, tell me what you like of it so far or hate about it.
