Chapter .1.
Ainslee sighs as she does the chores again. Her mother was out with another guy AGAIN. Leaving her at home with her siblings and daughters and son: Joandra, Chrysanta, Linnette, Veronica, Saturnina, Kleopatra, Eudora, Nefertiti, Gwenevere, Nesmayallindra, Rosannah, Thomasina, Aspyen, Kimberleigh, Zephyrine, Lycus, Mercurius, and Rebeccanne. With a newborn she wasn't getting much work done. But her siblings helped that was the best part of living here the siblings worked together.
She was breast-feeding Rebeccanne in her room with Alyx feeing Seraphina, Eleamoda feeding Taniqua as her boys sleep peacefully, Florette was feeding Dominica, Cayley was feeding Annabeth, Genesis feeding Charis, Hannele was feeding Reuben, Bathsheba was feeding Ceara, Quintella was feeding Isidora when Luanna shouts out.
"Lee, Moda, Bath, Han, Al, Flo, Cay, Gen come and see this!" Luanna shouts from the attic
Ainslee finishes feeding her baby and puts her in her crib giving her a kiss before leaving. She walks up the stairs to the attic. She finds her sisters and brothers looking through an old box. There were baby photos everywhere.
"What are you doing?" Ainslee asks as Eleamoda looks at the photos
"We found this old box at the back of the attic. We were going to throw it away but look what we found. Here is a picture of a boy with you, Alyx, Moda, Han, Bath, Gen, Flo, Ella and Cayley but we don't have an older brother so that is why I called you", Luanna says
"Hand me the photo", Ainslee says holding out her hand
She takes the black and white photo and looks at it was off 9 children all the same age, one older and three younger. 11 girls and 2 boy. And a man. The boy and man looked familiar like from a distant memory from the past. That she had blocked out well.
"Here look at the back", Karenza says
"It has writing on it", Philippina says
Ainslee looked at the back it had seven names written here. Thomas Lahote with Ainslee Sarah Lahote: Age 5, Paul Thomas Lahote, Eleamoda Rosalynn Lahote , Alyx Kate Lahote, Bathsheba Louise Lahote, Cayley Maeghan Lahote, Floretta Lynsay Lahote, Genesis Emalee Lahote, Hannele Nesoi Lahote, Quintella Ocean Lahote: Age 2, Jacqueline Mercy Lahote and Dyson Mark Lahote: Age 1 and Karenza Lucinda Lahote: Newborn: La Push Beach
"We have a brother. I have another younger brother", Ainslee whisperers, "Why don't I remember?"
"We weren't Octuplets we were Nontuplets", Cayley states looking a Moda, Alyx, Bath, Flo, Gen, Han, and Ella
"We need to have a little chat with mother", Floretta says eyes stormy
Everyone was shaking.
"Everyone calm down. Let's finish the cleaning when she gets home we confront her", Ainslee says calmly
They listened to her because she had taken care of all of them even if same were the same age. Ainslee was born to be a mother. It was just after 7 when their mother came home all 21 children sat in the lounge room.
"What do you brats want?" Georgia sneers
They didn't flinch they were used to it.
"Want to explain this?" Dyson says to his mother handing over the worn photo
"You better explain it", Genesis says
"HOW DARE YOU GO THROUGH THAT BOX!" Georgia yell
"We had every right", Jacqueline sneers
"It is from our past", Eleamoda says
"That you never talk about", Tiphanie says
"And hit us when we tried", Sharmaine adds
"The boy in the photo is our brother isn't he? Why don't I remember?" Ainslee asks more calmly then her sisters and brothers
"It doesn't take a scientist to figure that out", Genesis adds
"He is a spoiled brat just like his father. I took you somewhere so you won't remember your crying was too much for me", Georgia snarls
"YOU TOLD US OUR FATHER WAS DEAD!" Nikolaus yells shaking Luanna, Dyson, Tiphane, and Philippina hold him back
"He is dead to me as well as that spoiled brat. I never wanted children", Georgia sneers
"Well you got 22 didn't you?" Hannele taunts
"Why you...", Georgia says shaking with anger
Eleamoda with a signal from Ainslee and Alyx call the police it was time to get rid of their crazy mother.
"You're a dead beat Mother anyway", Floretta says standing up in front of her mother
Georgia slaps Floretta breaking her hand.
"You darn child you broke my hand", Georgia screams holding her broken hand
"You slapped her. Now get out of this house!" Ainslee orders
"This is my house!" Georgia screams
"No it isn't", Quintella says
"We have paid the mortgage, water and electricity and even the phone bills and grocery bills have been paid by us. We all work 12 hour shifts to pay for everything. We didn't get a chance to be kids. Some of us became parents", Ainslee says calmly
"I am not leaving!" Georgia says
"You want to bet?" Genesis asks
"YOU WILL NOT REMOVE ME FROM THIS HOUSE", Georgia yells
"To bad the police are on the way", Alyx says smirking as they hear the sirens
Ainslee goes and picks up her baby who was crying and picks up Zephyrine and places her on her hip with baby Becc in the other arm with Joan, Chrisse, Ette, Nica, Nina, Kleo, Dora, Nefe, Gwen, Nes, Rosa, Kim holding her leg. Eleamoda had also picked up her one of her babies. Florette picks up Dominica kissing her to calm herself down. Genesis picks up a crying Charis. Cayley picks up her twins holding them tight. Alyx also picks up her crying twins and holds them tight. Quintella also picks up her twins. Hannele holds her twins. Bathsheba holds one of her Quads.
"Shh, Shh my love. Everything is alright", Ainslee cooed going back into the living room with Rebeccanne in her arm and children around her leg
The police where there trying to restrain Georgia.
"How old are all of you?" the officer asks
"I am 22, the others are 19, 18, 17, 16, 14, 12 and 11", Ainslee replies
"Get her out of this house", Dyson snarls
"Have you got the proper documents?" one officer asks
"Yes", Ainslee says nodding to Floretta to get the paperwork
"She has been abusing us for years. She does drugs and alcohol and six of her boy toys raped my sisters", Luanna adds nodding at Ainslee, Alyx, Eleamoda, Cayley, Genesis, Hannele, Bathsheba, Quintella and Florette
"Would you like to press chargers?" the officer asks
"Yes", they say
"YOU LITTLE BRATS I SHOULD HAVE STRANGLED ALL OF YOU", Georgia yells
"Take her away", the officer says
Georgia was dragged from the house.
"We would like a restraining order. And I will take custody of my younger sisters and brothers", Ainslee says firmly
"Yes ma'am. You will be sent out a court date for the restraining order. And a custody hearing will be set up. A social worker will be here sometime tomorrow", the officer says, "Have a goodnight"
"Thanks officer", Ainslee says as Cayley shows him to the door
"Finally the wicked witch is out", Luanna says once the officer is gone
"Good riddance", Philippina says even her at 14 had a job to pay the bills and still went to school
"To bad rubbish", Nikolaus adds
"Very bad rubbish", Genesis says
"I am so glad that is over", Tiphanie says
"Now we decide what to do", Ainslee says sitting down breastfeeding her newborn
"I say after the hearing we get out of here", Dyson says
"Don't forget the custody hearing too", Eleamoda says breastfeeding her newborn
"Let's just stick with the restraining order and drop the other chargers", Ainslee says
"Lee why do that?" Nikolaus asks
"Well Niko we have a brother and father out there. It says on the back of the photo it was taken in La Push. We look the place up", Ainslee replies
"So we pack up and move there?" Floretta asks
"It won't be bad Flo. We really don't have a life here", Alyx says supporting her sister
"I'll put Joan, Chrisse, Ette, Nica, Nina, Kleo, Dora, Nefe, Gwen, Nes, Rosa, Kim, Becc, Merc, Zep, and Lyc to bed. We can look up La Push on the laptop", Ainslee says leaving the room with her daughters and sons to her room were only a king bed, a single and a crib were. They all shared, Eleamoda and her daughter, Genesis and her daughter, Cayley and her son and daughter, Alyx with her daughter and son, and Quintella with her son and daughter. Bathsheba with her children and Hannele with her twins.
Ainslee, Alyx, Cayley, Hannele, Bathsheba, Quintella, Genesis and Eleamoda comes back from settling their children to find her siblings on a laptop.
"La Push is in Washington State", Karenza says to Ainslee
"So it would mean a long drive for us", Luanna adds
"It basically rains there all the time", Philippina adds
"It has a beautiful beach", Sharmaine adds
"But our father and brother could be there. It could be worth it", Jacqueline says
"There is a forest so we can shift there", Cayley adds
"Hands up if you want to move there", Ainslee says
All hands go up.
"So it is decided. After the court case we go to La Push to find our family", Ainslee says
"I am going to shift. Don't wait up. I need time alone after that witch slapped me", Floretta says leaving the house after handing Dom to Jakki
"We will be fine?" Poseidon asks his big sister
"Yes Pose we will be just fine", Ainslee says reassuring him
"What if she hurts us?" Clytemnestra asks
"Look at me all of you", Ainslee says drawing Astraea, Clytemnestra, Evander and Poseidon to her, "I won't let anyone touch you. I would put my life for all of yours. This I swear"
They needed to start getting ready. Hopefully the court case will be soon…
