New house, new life, new emotions

Roberts pov

I, Robert brewer of age 45, have just gotten remarried, 7 years after my wife, Kristen died. When she died, I was left to care for our 3 kids, jack and Claire, who are feternial twins, with jack ten months older and Sam. Jack and Claire were 9 at the time and Sam was 3. He barely remembers Kristen. About 6 months later, the twins convinced me to adopt my son Eddie, who was 8 at the time. He's a year younger the. Claire and jack and the 3 are inseparable. They're always together.

5 years later, the 5 of us moved to seaford. I had gotten a job at seaford general hospital. I'm a doctor of course. I love saving lives for a living. Anyways, at parent night, at seaford high, jack and Claire's school, I met her Bethany appleBaum. She had beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes that looked like tiny oceans. She was absolutely beautiful. She was married at the time, which saddened me. I had fallen in love with her the day I laid my eyes on her.

We became fast friends and the boys fell in love with her. Claire was a different story, though. 2 years later, her husband died and she started dating Rudy gillieosye, the kids sensi. I grew jealous. Bethany was raising her 1 month old son, booker on her own. Rudy didn't help at all. She joined my single parenting group. She alter broke up with Rudy and we started dating and now were married!

About a week before the wedding, Bethany adopted Claire and the boys and I adopted booker. Claire was not happy about this for some reason. Bethany have been married for a week. We have just gotten back from our honey moon in Fiji. Claire, jack, Eddie and booker stayed at Kim, jacks girlfriends house. They have met us at the airport. Yes, both twins have their licenses since they are both 16. Jack was driving, of course. Its not that we didn't trust them home alone. It's just we're moving and no longer had the house so they had to stay with Kim, her parents and little sister.

We are now in our new driveway of our new house, unpacking the moving truck. "dada!" booker screams happily, running up to me and hugging onto my leg. Booker loves me to Peices and he is part of my whole world. He is the best thing that has happened to me, besides, jack, Claire, Eddie, Sam and of course, Bethany. Jack, Eddie and Sam call Bethany mom and go to her when they have advice, but not Claire! She stays far way from Bethany. Kim, her little sister Chloe and their parents, chuck and Miranda are helping us move into our new 2 story house that also has an attic and a basement. "daddy's busy right now, buddy" I told him, petting his hair that was full of blonde hair that was identical to Bethanys hair. Jack and Kim walked up to the 2 of us carrying a coffee table. "watch it!" I told them, laughing, as the part jack was carrying hit a lamppost. "sorry, dad!" he told me laughing. "yeah, sorry, rob!" Kim told, me laughing, as the 2 of them walked into the house. "it's ok, you 2" I told them, laughing. I picked up a box and walked into the house with booker hugging onto my leg.

As I walked into the house, I heard Miranda, Chloe, bethany and Claire in the kitchen and it did not sound pleasant. I set the box down. "Sam, Eddie, I'm going into the kitchen. Can you unpack that box for me? The stuff in it goes in the living room!" I told Them. "sure, dad!" they both said walking over to me. Eddie picked up the box. "thanks, boys!" I told them, running into the Kitchen. "you're welcome, dad!" they told me, taking the box into the living room. I ran into the kitchen to find, Bethany leaning up against the cupboard and Claire holding a chefs knife at her. Miranda and Emily were staying far away form them as possible. "Claire, put the knife down" Bethany told her, kindly. "you're not my mother! I don't have to listen to you!" she yelled. "actually, Claire, she is. She adopted you. So she is now legally your mother. Now put the kinfe down" I told her, walking up to her and Bethany. She put the knife down. "Claire, what is going on?!" I asked her. "dad, she's replacing me!" Claire screamed. Bethany walked up to her. "Claire, I would never ever replace you. Your father told me ago it you being e woman of th w house and being a mother fig use for the boys and I respect that. I would never hurt you or on purpose any ways. I love you Claire! I also respect the fact that you don't want to call me mom right away and I'm okay with that. I jut want what's best for you!" Bethany told her calmly. "Claire, I know you were used to you being the only woman or girl here, but. Change is good. You just have to take your time to get used to it" I explanned to my 16 year old daughter. "I knew you would take her side!" she yelled, before running up the stairs to her room. Bethany breaks down in tears and Chloe and Miranda look shocked. "I think she needs her big brother" Miranda tells me.

Jack is 15 minutes older than Claire and is the only 1 who can calm her down. Believe me! I tried! The only other person that could calm her down was their mom, the only other woman besides Bethany that I had loved. "jack, can you come here please?" I asked jack, as I stuck my head out of our kitchen door. He and Kim walked hand in hand into the room. "yeah, dad?" jack asked me. He then notices Bethany crying. "mom, why are you crying?" he asks her. "Jackie, can you calm down your sister?" Bethany asked him, between tears. "can I help him?" Kim asked. Bethany nodded. "of Course, sweet heart" Bethany told her. "hold on, I haven't agreed to it yet!" jack snapped. The 5 of us jumped. "jack..." i warned him. "I would love to, mom" he told her, as him and Kim walked out of the kitchen. "thanks, jack" Bethany told jack. He smiled. "you're welcome, mom" he told her. "I love you" she told jack. "i love you, too" he told her smiling. Him and Kim were now standing out of the kitchen. "I guess I'm one out of 3 women that love you now!" Kim sia,d giggling. We all rolled our eyes and began to laugh as the 2 teens walked up the stairs. Just as they were gone, there was a loud knock on the door that made jack and Kim come running back down the stairs.

Ooo! Drama! Don't worry Bethany will be nice! She loves the kids, all 5 of them! Should Claire turn evil? Tell clary-shadowhunter and I! Please r and r! We'd appreciate it!
