Chapter 10: original version.

La la (A/N:Original name for Katie) stood in front of the oranges barking and hitting her head with a baseball. Kyle (A/N:Original name for Tyler) was bouncing off wall because he had turned to rubber. I was holding Boping and Boing, Enjolras held Cheez and Lily. (A/N: In the original, in the three years, they had had 6 more children, Boping, Boing, Cheez, Lily, Bouncey and Perfume, Bouncey and Perfume had run away when they were 5 days old.) Three of the littlest of our brood were crying, Lily was the only one who was quiet. We got a cart and put the four in it before chasing La la and Kyle down.

We got everything we needed before paying and leaving. We got back to our closet (Yes, that same closet the kids were produced in.) and disciplined the small children. We got them to bed and went to bed ourselves. Enjolras and I fell asleep quickly, but I stayed awake to keep watch. Kyle loved Gavroche and not just in a brotherly way, Gav thought of him as a brother though, he would learn that. La la loved to sit on Jehan's lap and help him write poems and he read them stories and taught them how to read and write. Everyone helped raise the kids, except Courfeyrac, we would not let him teach the kids anything. Joly taught health, Combeferre biology and science, Fieully taught art and they helped him paint his fans, Bousseut had not had an accident since the kids were born, we thought it a miracle.
