Chapter 7: Life with Eight Siblings

I never thought in the 16 years that I've been alive that I would have 8 siblings okay so Zola was before me technology she wouldn't count Lexie and Ellis however were after me but I thought after they were born mom and dad would be done with children as there were four of us but then about 2 or 3 months after Lexie and Ellis were born mom found out she was going to have Hannah but then 5 years later I finally got my little brother Luke who happens to be a surprise twin another sister but I wouldn't trade the world for my sisters and just two hours ago I revived a baby brother named Tyler and a sister named Elizabeth. I love my siblings to the fullest and wouldn't trade a million plus dollars for them. Yes with nine of us kids in one house life could be rough but hey mom and dad got 5 built in babysitters as Luke and Amelia aren't able to be home alone as they are only eight years old. Now that I have another baby brother I'm going to have to move our trophy case so mom and dad can place Tyler's crib in our room,as mom and dad weren't planning for a boy but for a girl. Although I've been wanting to get bunk beds for Luke and I to share so we have more room because 2 full size beds take up a lot of space.

I'm not sure what I want to do when I grow up I really don't want to be a doctor that's two much work to study besides I kind of like space science. "Bailey mom says that on Friday you have to drive me and Franklin to the movies because I don't have a license and Zola is busy with her school project that's due on Monday even though she's been working on it for week" Ellie told me. "Ellie your to young to be dating" I told my sister who I often forget that she is only 3 years younger than me but she's only 14. "But Bailey you were dating Justine when you were my age." My sister told me. To think about a women I love who is dying is hard for me as I wanted to be by her side but she won't let me.

"Bailey can you and me watch Star Wars tonight in our room." Asked Luke. "Sure but dad is finally going to get our bunk beds put in tonight so he can place Tyler's crib in our room" I told him. "Cool then we can get ride of my uncomfortable bed as I'm too old for race car sheets and blankets I want what you have which is Star Wars isn't it?" Asked Luke. "Well if your talking about my bedding it's not Star Wars its Star Trek." I told him. "But Bailey I thought you like Star Wars not Star Trek." Luke asked. "Well Luke I like both and besides we can tell who sleeps who if I have Star Trek and you have Star Wars." I told him. Okay so when I'm hanging out with Luke we kind of nerd out and talk about Star Trek and Star Wars or sports teams. I love talking about other things other than sports with Luke because we like most of the same stuff as do some of my sisters. Zola, Ellis, Hannah, and Amelia like Star Wars and Star Trek so we are all nerds because we like scifi action movies. Lexie well she's the only one because she doesn't like much other than being a sob towards us. Mom and dad were right to separate Lexie and Ellis years ago because they just get into fights daily even at school because Lexie try's to be Ellis's boss and Ellis can't stand it. Actually yesterday Lexie was screaming at Ellis because she stole Franklin from her when Franklin doesn't even like or love Lexie because he love Ellis.

My other sisters are awesome because they love to spend time with Luke and I even though they are girls. But what's depressing is that I won't be able to share these moments of fun with Zola as she's going to be graduating high school and going off to college. Maybe Luke, Ellis, Hannah, Amelia, and I could go visit her I refuse to drag Lexie so she could complain about life. I would bring Tyler and Beth but they are too little to even know there older sister because they are just hours old. When I'm in college I hope they can come visit me because they will get to know me unlike Zola who they might see once or twice in a year. I think it's unfair for them to not know her but maybe Zola will spend time with us during the summer now that Freddy is gone for good. As he decided he couldn't be with Zola because of Tyler and Beth. I'm going to call Elizabeth, Beth because I have an aunt named Liz. I can't wait until they can come home and I can spend time with them. I love my family very much even with the challenges.

A/N: so here is Bailey's point of view. I love this story and I have fun writing it. Hope you enjoy.
