Chapter one

A typical Marsden morning

" Ren! Libby! Wake up!" Emily Marsden yelled pounding on her sisters' door. They weren't sleeping in; it was just her morning job. Everyone in the Marsden family had one, all 13 of them except Dan, who had moved out of the house and was getting married. Emily's was the worst, her job wasn't done until everyone of her brothers and sisters were downstairs, with the exception of two-year-old Obie. The worst were Nate and Rory; they didn't want to wake up in the mornings, ever. Ren and Libby heard her banging on doors screaming for those two to wake up. To save time, everyone got up, got dressed and hurried downstairs. Ren and Libby started toasting bread, Jimena and Josh got out the Orange juice and milk, Nate, Rory and Six got out the cups and began to help the other two, Andy, Freya, and Kyle set the table, and buttered the toast. Everyone sat down to the table and began to take food before Dan got there, so they'd be sure to get some. Then Dan walked in and sat down. Then Mom stood up.

" Everyone, I have an announcement!"

" What?" Freya asked.

" I'm having another Baby!"

" What!" everyone cried simultaneously.

" Mom, don't you think 13 is enough? I mean, come on, Dan's twenty-four! That's too many years apart!" Jimena said.

" Mom, I don't think you realize, that you having a baby affects us too." Emily said.

" You guys are being selfish! It's mom and dad's choice, unless one of you want to be in their bedroom supervising." Ren said, knowing that would shut everyone up, it had worked the last two times.

" It's still not fair." Freya and Kyle said at the same time. Josh rolled his eyes and walked off.

" Well, Jimena, you and Dan are six years apart, Josh and Dan are 9 years apart and the oldest twins And Dan are 10 years apart. If we went by how old Dan was most of you wouldn't exist. As for you Emily, I know it affects you all; it affected the others when I had you. If that had stopped me, you wouldn't be in existence. Finally, Ren, I'd prefer not to have any of my children in my bedroom at night." All the kids got up and stalked off angrily to their rooms, Ren included, she was only trying to help.
