Cheaper By The Dozen Kara Wilson and her older brother Thomas move next door to the Baker family. They have a shady past and the Baker's will do anything to uncover the past. In the process secerts will be revealed, hearts will be broken, and new loves will arise.

This is my first Cheaper By The Dozen fan fiction. It mostly reflects on Sarah, Jake, Lorraine, Charlie, Thoma Wilson, and Kara Wilson. I don't anything that has to do with the movie, except Thomas and Kara. Here's the first chapter, hope you like it.

Sarah's POV:

I glanced up at the house that was next door to ours. It was about the same size as ours, but I

liked it more then this one. The reason that I liked it more than my own at the moment was

because everyone was running around like a chicken with their head cut off or something. Every

since dad decided to bring his work home things went from bad to worse. I shook my head a bit

as I turned my attention back to Jake, who had found a huge spider on the back yard porch and

had decided to put it in Lorraine's room. He sat on one of the small chairs, arms crossed, big

frown on his face. "Should've listened to me." I stated as I flopped down on the floor. He just

frowned even more at me as I grinned at him. Jake and I were usually pretty close, partner's in

crime, if you will. We were the masterminds in every prank that went down in this house. I don't

know why this time would have been very different, except for the fact that the new girl that had

moved next door had come over. Jake and I had been sitting on the porch when I spotted

something odd going on at the next house. I ran to the fence that separated the two house's. A

few seconds later Jake was at my side. "What are we looking at" he had questioned me. I had

given a small shrug. First I saw the people who were most likely the mom and dad. They looked

like they were heading to some type of fancy party. I heard Jake laugh so I gave him a hard

shove, that shut him up quickly. The next person that stepped out of the car was a boy around

Lorraine's age. He really didn't seem that interesting to me. The last person I saw step out was

the most interesting looking person of them all. She seemed to be around me and Jake's age,

maybe a bit older 1. She was wearing a skirt and a white tank top. She didn't look a thing like the

other three. She had long black hair, while they had blonde hair, or in the dad's case grayish

hair. Her skin was a lot darker then theirs. "I bet she's adopted." I said as I looked over at Jake.

He didn't seem to hear me as he kept his eyes on the girl. "Wow." he muttered under his breath

as he watched them disappear into the house. He looked over at me"Pinch me." he said,

holding out his arm. I gladly accepted his request as I grabbed his arm and gave it a hard

squeeze. He jumped a bit, letting out a small yelp as he yanked his arm away from me. I grinned

as he rubbed the spot, glaring at me. I glanced back at the house, almost hoping that the girl

would come back out. I heard someone calling our name as I looked back over at our house.

Dad came storming across the yard, fire coming out of his ears. I let out a sigh as I looked over

at Jake. He had a guilty look on his face. "You moron, you actually put the spider in her room."

He nodded his head a bit as he glanced around, looking for a way to escape the wrath of dad.

Too late, dad reached us and grabbed Jake by the ear. He was muttering things as he pulled

a yelping Jake back to the house. I followed behind the two of them, gazing back at the house

one last time. I ran into the house and that was how we ended up back here. It was pretty

boring just sitting here, waiting for Jake, I stood up and started to pace back and forth. Jake

didn't seem to notice me as he glared at the wall. I heard a faint knock and glanced over at

Jake, He grinned at me as we clamored down the doors. Lorraine was already at the door. She

looked over at us and smiled. "Jake, Sarah, come and meet the new neighbors." We slowly

walked over to the door and peered out. I grinned over at Jake as we both recognized the girl

from next door. The older brother was standing next to her, but I didn't see the parents

anywhere. "Jake, Sarah, meet Thomas Wilson and his sister Kara."

1. I don't know how old excatly Jake and Sarah are so I'm guessing their about 14 or so. Since I'm not sure, I'm going to say that their 14. If anyone know's how old they really are, please tell me so I can change it a bit.
