Walk The Line

The Prologue

Valary Walker sat with her head in her hands, absolutely exhausted. She was only 34 yet she had 7 kids, 13 years of marriage and a divorce under her belt. She and her ex husband, Tranter, had been together since they were 13. She'd gotten pregnant with their first child at 15 and gave birth to him when she was 16. Through all of this they had remained together, and they married at 18, which is when she got pregnant for a second time. They had twins 9 months later. Two years after that, at 20 years old she was pregnant again and they had another set of twins. They loved having such a large family though, and she got pregnant, they thought for the final time, at 21 and gave birth at 22. They'd been very much so in love, at least she had thought so, but when she got pregnant again at 31, he served her with the divorce papers and disappeared once she had signed them.

So there she was at 32, having just given birth to her seventh child, and getting no support from the father. Somehow she managed though, and here she was now at 34 with her 7 kids.

Matthew William Derek Walker was born on February 14, 1991 and he was her eldest, at 18. He'd been a huge help to her ever since Tranter left, and even though she didn't want to put too much responsibility on him, he helped her out a lot.

Zachary Dwain Biron Walker and his brother Brian Dacre Bentley Walker were born on June 20, 1993 and were currently 15 and eager to turn 16.

James Dylan Ace Walker (Also known as Jimmy) and Johnathon Elijah River Walker (also known as Johnny) were born on May 1, 1995 and had recently turned 14.

Rebekah Syntyche Aurora, her only girl, was born on November 8, 1997. She was 11 years old and just bursting to reach 12.

Michael Tobias Hedley Walker was her youngest, her baby and he was born on December 12, 2006. He was 2, and she felt rather blessed to have him.

She herself was born on September 14, 1974 and her own birthday was not one she thought about much.

Money however, was something she thought about a lot, mainly because it was difficult with 7 kids. However she was very lucky, although her (ex)husband had run out on her (no one had heard from him since), her brother-in-law was a wonderful man who took care of her with the help of her parents-in-law. She hadn't spoken to her parents in years, they'd disowned her a long time ago. Paul Levesque, she was beginning to think, was the best thing that had ever happened to her. His wife, Stephanie (her sister-in-law, in a way, she supposed) had offered her a new job with the WWE after seeing some of her artworks, and after Paul's parents assured her that the kids could stay with them, she'd taken it. It would mean more money towards their futures, and Stephanie promised her that she could take time off whenever she needed it.

Today had been a long day, moving their things into the Levesque house and getting all seven kids settled. She was very appreciative of both of her children's grandparents, and felt very accepted and loved by them, as well as by Paul (Who insisted she call him Hunter) and Stephanie. She stood up slowly from Mikey's small bed, brushing her lips against her sons head before she walked into Rebekah's room. She was glad that the Levesque's had a large house, or all the children would not have fit. The young girl was fast asleep, and she kissed her forehead as well before making sure she was well tucked in. It was 11:30 at night, so all the kids were in bed and asleep, except for perhaps Matthew, who, since he was 18, had more freedom than the other kids.

Once she was done in there she walked into Jimmy and Johnny's new room, smiling at the way they'd fallen asleep on the bunk beds. Jimmy was on the bottom, laying on his back, no covers on, and Johnny was on the top bunk, laying on his stomach with no covers on. Clearly the two fourteen year olds had been talking before they fell asleep. She covered them both up, kissing their foreheads and brushing a hand through their hair before walking into Zacky and Brian's room. When she pulled the covers up around Zacky his eyes briefly opened, and he smiled at her.

"Night Mum." He said softly, "I love you."

"I love you too Zackster. Night." She whispered before she placed a soft kiss on his forehead. She stroked his hair a moment as his eyes shut and his breathing started to even out. Then she moved to Brian's bed and covered him up carefully. When she leaned in to kiss him she heard him whisper his goodnight, and that he loved her.

"I love you too Bri…" She whispered to him, stroking his hair a moment before straightening up and leaving the room. She went into Matt's room, and found him sitting on his bed, reading, with the small lamp beside him on.

He looked up when she entered and smiled at her. "Hey Mum. You look tired."

"I am a bit tired, but I'll be alright Matty. It's just been a long day." She said softly, smiling back at her son. He petted the bed beside him and she walked over and sat down, reaching over to brush a hand through his hair. She was very lucky to have such good kids.

"You're doing the right thing Mum, taking this job. We'll miss you, but Gamma and GP will take care of us and Aunty Steph said you can visit. We're all excited for you."

She smiled more at her eldest son, knowing they'd all talked about it and he'd been elected to tell her this. "Thanks baby." She said softly, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "I'm glad you are. Besides, I'm sure Uncle Hunter will get you guys backstage sometime."

Matt grinned at her "That would be awesome."

"I'll get him right on it."

"Do we get copies of the photos?" Matt asked her cheekily, grinning. She nodded a little bit.

"Sure thing gorgeous. Straight from my camera. Just no giving them out."

"We won't Mum, you know that."

"Yeah I know. I have the best kids. You should probably sleep now too." She winked at him. He laughed softly, but nodded a little.

"I will. I'll just finish this chapter, okay?"

"Of course, just don't stay up too late." She said softly, standing up and kissing the top of his head. "I love you Matty."

"I love you too Mum." He said softly and she smiled at him before she walked out, gently shutting the door behind her.

The Levesque's had gone to bed earlier, and now she finally headed into her own room. She was grateful to sink into bed and fall asleep, small smile on her face. She had the support she needed now, and even though she was absolutely exhausted now, she knew she was going to enjoy the new job, and the kids could use something different for a while anyway. They would enjoy spending time with their grandparents, she knew that much.

So with that she submitted herself to sleep, knowing that tomorrow would bring a whole new world for her, and hopefully a good one.

Authors Note: Okay, this is the prologue of my newest story. Inspiration slapped me in the face today while I was at school (crazy I know) and hence this story. I know it's somewhat different, but I like it, and I plan to make it work. I'm hoping most chapters will be at least double the length of this one, but this is good enough for the prologue. I also would bet that you noticed that the kids were called Matt, Brian, Zacky, Jimmy and Johnny so yes, they were inspired by A7X lol, I love that band. Rebekah is a name I want to call my own kid, and I love the name Mikey (I already have a female OC called Mikey) so I figured I'd use it again.

Anyhow, please review!

Also, please take my poll ;)

I have a vague idea for the uh... possible romantic interest in this story, but is there anyone in particular you guys would like to see her with?
