What Have You Learned?

"Clare do we seriously have to watch all five of them today?" Eli ask his wife of an year as he came down there stairs. They were now twenty three and twenty four. He still couldn't believe she was now forever his.

"Yes Eli. I know that many kids scare you but still." She told him and he sighed. Five kids didn't scare him. She new that, but still for whatever reason she would always say that.

"Five kids doesn't scare me. What scares me is how they are all under the age of eight and she has two sets of twins. One set I could handle, but two?" He told her and she just rolled her eyes.

"This is to help us get ready for our baby." Just then the bell went off. "Don't blow this out of proportion." She told him and went to answer the door. She smiled when seeing a pregnant Darcy with five kids.

First of the kids was eight year old James. He was the ring leader of the entire group. He was a handful in just himself. He had to much energy that sometimes he worried Clare. He had them blue eyes, but hair just like his mother. He was exactly a mixture of his parents. They couldn't of been prouder.

Next were the twin look a like six year old girls Abigail and Annie. Why she picked names like these for her kids Clare and Eli would never understand. Abigail was more quiet and shy while her younger sister Annie was talkative and loud. They both looked exactly like their mother. You couldn't tell them apart.

The next two were the four year old twin boys Jackson and Jared. Darcy made sure that each girl had a name that started with an 'A' and each boy had a name that started with an 'J'. Jackson and Jared both looked exactly like their father. You would think Peter had just spit them out. They looked and acted exactly the same. They were a real handful. Most boys were around this age anyway.

"Thank you again so much Clare. We just need to check and make sure she's alright." Darcy said giving every kid to Clare. They new for sure they were having a girl and that this was there last one for a while. "I'll be back around oh, say, six tonight." She told her sister who just nodded. With that she left Clare with five little kids along with an Eli acting like one also.

"Aunt Clare what are we going to do?" Abigail ask softly to the point you could barley hear her. Clare just smiled. She didn't want her children to be to wild like some of her sisters were, but she still wanted them to be kids. Abigail had to be her favorite.

"Well, what do you wanna do?" She ask her and she smiled. She had just learned how to read in first grade. That's what she wanted to do.

"I wanna read. I can read a Junie B. Jones book now. That's big since its a chapter book." She said but Annie had other plans for her and her sister.

"No me and you are gonna play house." She told her with arms crossed. Abigail looked a little scared from her sister and just nodded. Clare remembered those days that Darcy did that to her so she stepped in.

"Annie I'll play house with you but your sister wants to read. Let her read and we can play house any way you want." She told her and Annie smiled and nodded her head. "Abby I have a couple of those books up stairs. Ask Uncle Eli to go get you one."

"Yes ma'am. Uncle Eli can you please go get me a Junie B. book?" Eli nodded went up stairs and got one then came back down handing it to Abby. "Thank you." She told him went sat down on the couch and started reading. You'd hear a laugh here and there letting them know she was okay.

"Clare where is James? It got quiet and I can't find Jackson or Jerad either." He said and they looked everywhere finally going to the kitchen seeing all three boys with an energy drink in hand. "Oh shit." Eli mumbled to himself.

"I thought you said that you hid that?" Clare told him and he sighed.

"I did hide it, but they must have found it!" Eli told her watching the three boys bounce everywhere. "What do we do now?" He ask trying to figure things out. "Your cousin wasn't like this."

"Yea that's cause you gave him ice cream and not a drink full of nothing but sugar." She told him and he laughed. "Why are you laughing?"

"Cause there little kids. What can that much sugar do to them? Besides I still can't believe they named another one in the family Jackson. What kinda drugs did they have her on?" Eli ask and Clare gave him a smirk.

"If you think kids on nothing but sugar isn't bad then why don't you take care of the three boys and I'll deal with the girls. You can handle this after all. Right?" Clare ask him knowing what he had done gotten into. He didn't though.

"Yea. I'll prove to you I know what I'm doing." He said with a smirk. Clare just rolled her eyes and went to the living room where the girls were. "Okay, so what do you guys wanna do?"

"I waaannnnnnnna... I wannna... I wanna... I don't know wwwhhhaaattt I wwwwaaaannnnna doooo..." Jared said still jumping in place. "I can't stop bouncing." He said screaming and then he just ran. Everywhere he ran. Up the stairs and down them. Anywhere and everywhere. Eli stood there terrified as they got in a huddle. Talking with each other.

"Guys we have to do something." James said as he wasn't really talking very low. Eli could still hear them. Jared was still jumping up and down. Jackson was moving in a circle and James had a really scary look on his face. Eli new nothing but trouble was up ahead. He was in trouble.

"Whhhhhhaaaaaaaattttttttt... iiiiiiiisssss... thereeeeeee... tooooooooo... dooooooooo?" Jared ask his oldest brother. Even if him and Jackson were only minutes apart he was still older than him.

"Yea... what is there to- wait I have an idea." Jackson said still moving in circles. Abby had done finished her book and went to find her brothers. She laughed when she saw that they each had had an energy drink. Ohh was Mommy and Daddy gonna be mad. After last time the boys couldn't have any more.

"Psst, Aunt Clare you gotta come see this!" Abby said trying not to laugh. Clare went in just to hear the part of the plan the boys had come up with.

"What is it Jackson?" James ask while Jared just nodded still jumping up and down.

"Let's all go dog pile on Eli." He said and the boys agreed. Clare had done got the video camera recording everything that was happening. She was laughing along with Abby now.

"NOOOO..." Eli screamed running while the hyper boys just ran after him. They finally got him and made him fall on top of Annie's play stuff.

"You did NOT just do that?" She screamed and began to cry. She then started screaming. "You three are so dead." She said running after her brothers. Clare was now recording that. "You know to leave me alone when I'm playing. How dare you do that." They were all scared now.

"Were sorry, Annie!" Jackson screamed still running. Him and James were to fast for her so she went after Jared and tackled him to the ground.

"Who gave you the energy drink?" She ask him having him in a hold. He was squirming in her hold. "Well who?"

"It was Uncle Eli. I swear, I swear." He said and she got off him going after Eli who looked scared.

"I can't believe you would do that. Grown ups are suppose to do what's best for the kids. Your gonna be a terrible father!" She told him and that's when he couldn't take it.

"Listen here little miss thing. You will NOT talk to me like that. I am the adult here so stop bossing people around." He told her and she looked at him with her arms still crossed.

"I'll stop talking to you like that when you start acting like an adult and aren't scared of little kids who've had to much sugar. I'll tell my Mommy and Daddy and then you won't ever get to keep us again." She told him with a smirk. This angered Abby who actually liked her Aunt and Uncle.

"You do that and I'll tell Mommy and Daddy about you yelling at Uncle Eli. You know that they don't care for it. You'll be in trouble for a very long time." Abby said and Annie stood there shocked.

"You wouldn't dare." She said. Abby just had a smirk on her face.

"Try me." She told her and Annie sighed finally losing a battle. She turned to Eli.

"I'm sorry for screaming at you like that Uncle Eli. It won't happen again." She told him and he nodded.

"That's what I thought." Abby said while she smiled. "I'm sorry for my sisters actions Uncle Eli." She said and Eli just laughed.

"Hey, its okay. Your still kids. You shouldn't be acting like adults just yet. Enjoy your kid years while you still have them. They don't last forever." He said and Abby and Annie nodded.

...

They had finally got rid of the little ones at around six thirty. Darcy and Peter were running late, getting other things ready for the baby. They were thankful when they were finally gone. They loved them, but they could all be a handful at times. Everybody was entitled to their moments.

It was now around ten thirty and Clare was in bed with Eli. He was reading up on some stuff for work while Clare was rubbing her belly. She looked up at him and smiled. Eli looked over feeling her eyes on him and looked to see her hands on her belly. He just smiled even bigger knowing he was fixing to be a Daddy.

"What you got going on in your head Clare?" He ask her as he put his hand on her belly. He smiled the biggest he's ever smiled when the baby kicked.

"Just thinking about how were fixing to be parents. I hope were good parents." She told him and he smiled at her. Of course they were gonna be good parents.

"Will be the best Mommy and Daddy this world has ever seen. Its in our blood." He told her and she laughed. "Besides after watching those kids today, I don't want to let them be like that."

"Abby isn't so bad." Clare said while Eli just nodded. She really wasn't, but, of course, she still had them for siblings. Eli felt bad for her sometimes, which is why she spends a lot of time with him and Clare.

"No, she's not. I would trust her more than I trust myself sometimes. She's a good kid." Eli said and Clare smiled up at him.

"We need names for this little one. I want a boy but I know you want a girl. What do you have for girl names?" She ask him and he sat thinking about it.

"I like Ella Nicole." He told her and she smiled.

"I like that too Eli. What about for a boy?" She ask him and he laughed.

"That your choice. I want girl so you can name the boy." He said and she nodded her head.

"I like Daniel Levi." She told him and he nodded. It was a very nice name for a little boy.

"I also like that. Come on let's sleep. We've had a very long day." He told her shuting off the lights. He got comfortable in their bed and she laid there in his arms.

"Just one more thing Eli." She told him as they snuggled.

"And that is?"

"What have you learned from this?" She ask him and he laughed at the little question she always seemed to ask him. He sighed and changed his always the same answer.

"That I'm not giving any of the boys we have an energy drink. There's no way." He told her and she laughed and smiled.

"I don't know what I would do without you Eli. I love you. Goodnight." She told him falling asleep. Before she did she heard his answer.

"I don't know what I would do without you either Clare. I love you too. Have sweet dreams." He mumbled and with that the fell in a deep sleep dreaming about there future.
