And all of her babies starting school. All the Cuddy-House kids are in school. Jamie and Trevor stopped having kids because of Krista. Every things been swell. There is a new Cameron Chase baby. Carson Robert Chase. He's two. Cecilla's in third grade and Christian in kindergarten. That's pretty much it. Here goes nothing. Enjoy :)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was dreaded day for parents in New Jersey and D.C. First day of school and for some first day of kindergarten. Even pre-school was starting for kids. Women were finishing getting their kids ready. A young mother of four finishing her daughters' hair. Her seven year old baby girl starting second grade hair in curls being pulled into a bouncy ponytail. While her mom was getting her daughters' breakfast a long with her sons. A mother of three trying to get her daughter and son ready before work. While her husband is getting their other son ready. An oncologist with his wife and their three kids are getting to school. They drop off their daughter. Then their sons. Back to the young mother, her identical twin daughters are in pink dresses and sandals. Their dark curly hair in ponytails. Her husband getting their sons hair ready. He's in a white and green polo and jeans with tennis shoes. As his father gets his hair spiked. His mother is adding the finishing touches to his sisters outfits. Her oldest daughter in a bright turquoise dress with a turquoise hat and sandals. Her blue eyes are popping just like her Aunts and Uncles in New Jersey. Identical twin girls who are about ten. Are weird. The fourth graders are in matching outfits. While their little brothers aren't. Their older sister ready for the first day of fifth grade. She knew she was adopted, but they were her parents and siblings. As they all load up their vans they get texts from their friends. They all smile as the soccer momness kicks in. They get into the drivers seats and pull out of the driveway. They drive for a few minutes before pulling up to the schools. After dropping most of the younger ones off at pre-school. It's the big kids time. They get their children out that want hugs and kisses. And walk them up. The young mother was sad about her baby girls starting kindergarten. While her son is starting third grade. Wow was she old. She gets her children out of the Escalade and starts walking them up. She lets the second and third grader go then walks the kindergartners to their class.
" Hi. I'm Miss Wyatt". The young brunette woman said to the mother and her daughters.
" Hi I'm Samantha. And this is Jessica and Sophia. How you can tell is Jess is the one with the green earrings and Soph is the one with the blue".
" Thanks for that tip. Do you have any other kids that go here"?
" Two. My son Preston and my daughter Isabella".
" Wow. You look so young. I'll make sure your daughters get the best opportunities possible".
" Alright. I'll say goodbye to these guys then I'll go say goodbye to Isabella and Preston. Mommy has school too". Samantha crouched down so she was eye level with the girls.
" I love you". She said to them. She gave them each kisses and hugs.
" We love you too mommy". They said together. She smiled. Her babies were growing up. She gave them kisses on the top of their heads then went down to her son and daughter's classrooms.
" Hey mom". Preston said.
" My baby boy is growing up". She said. He gave her a hug trying to reassure her.
" Mom, I'll be fine". He said.
" Preston Alexander, behave". She said.
" Mom". He whined.
" Yeah. I'm a hard ass". She whispered so teachers didn't hear her.
" I wouldn't say that". She smiled.
" I love you".
" Love you too. Can I go now"?
" Sure. Grams says she loves you".
" Wonderful". He mumbled then walked over to his friends. She walked into Isabella's classroom.
" Mommy". The almost nine year old said.
" Hey baby girl". She said giving Isabella a hug.
" Have a good day at school". Isabella said with a muffle because of her mother's shirt.
" You too princess. Daddy's picking you guys up today".
" Alright. I love you".
" I love you too". She said giving Isabella a kiss.
" Hey mommy".
" Yeah baby".
" I hope you have a good day".
" I do too". She gave Isabella one more kiss then left. She walked down to her car and pulled out driving towards the house. She hadn't been in New Jersey for three years. Her parents and sister always drove down to D.C. Her phone started ringing In my Daughters eyes by Martina McBride. Ah her mother's ring tone. Dang mother and stealing my phone. She grabbed the phone and answered.
" Hello mom". She answered smiling.
" I'm not mom". Audri said.
" Audrienne Grace give me my phone"! Samantha heard Cuddy shout in the car. Samantha rolled her eyes.
" Audri give mom the phone".
" But sis". She whined.
" Audri you may be my favorite sister, but it's mom's phone".
" Fine". She huffed. Audri handed the phone to her mom.
" Hey sweetheart".
" Hey mom. How's life with the children"?
" Lets see, Audri and Paige won't stop beating up Josh and Ben. Rachel is picking on Reese. I'd say life is pretty good".
" Oh, I remember those days. When it was Jake and Andrew. I can't believe Jake's been gone for about ten years".
" I know. I've never really told the kids about him".
" I haven't told mine about him".
" Cameron told me to tell you you need to call her. Jamie said you should call her later".
" Ah. Dad hasn't texted me today. I'm kind of scared".
" It's morning. He's probably still asleep".
" True".
" Well I have to go. Your sisters and brothers need to get inside".
" Alright. I love you".
" Love you too". She hung up then dialed Cameron's number.
" Hey cutie". Cameron answered
" Hey sweetie".
" Cecilla and Christian wanted to wish you a good day". Cameron handed the phone to Cecilla.
" Hey CC".
" Hey Aunt Samantha. I hope you have a good day today".
" I definitely will now sweetie. Give your brother the phone". Cecilla handed the phone to Christian.
" Hey Aunt Sammy. I hope you have a good day today". Christian said. Samantha smiled at being called Sammy. He was the only one able to get away with that.
" I do too little man. Have a good too. I love you little man".
" Love you too". He said. He handed his phone back to his mom.
" And Carson says hi too".
" Awe. I love my god children. The kids miss you. I'm hoping one of these days I can go up to New Jersey".
" It hasn't changed much".
" I know. Carli, Sophia, Abby, Brittny, Alex, Jenny, Kimberlyn, Grayson, Chris, Jack, and Zack all miss Jersey too".
" Well I bet. You guys all live in D.C. How's Brad doing"?
" Good. He really wants another baby. I'm not really ready for another one".
" Well wait till your internship is done".
" I know. But I'm going into my last years of med-school and he's getting older. I think soon our last baby will be born. Most likely by the time I'm twenty nine we'll have baby number five.
" Well that leaves five years for a baby. Preston is going to be ten next year. Isabella eight. Jess and Soph are turning seven. I mean time is coming down to the last second".
" I know. I'm glad that I've been able to take care of all of them".
" I know. Well I go to go. I'll see you soon".
" Right back at ya". She said and hung up. Over the past three years, she'd been able to be a mom with out her mom hovering over her. She always had a part time job and school. And she found time to be a mom. Brad's internship was over. He was full fled surgeon. She looked down at the ring around her finger. Not her engagement ring or wedding band. The one he gave her as her Mother's Day present last year. Blue topaz, Amethyst, and two little Alexandrites. One of the rarest gemstones. She remembers the box and the note. In his somewhat nice handwriting it said: Four gemstones in white gold show when you gave birth to our children. It took me awhile to find it, but I did. I saw it back in January, and you said you wanted it. I look at our son and daughters and all I see is you. I hope this can top last years. December, you gave birth to our son. February you gave birth to one of our daughters. And in June you gave birth to our other two daughters. The Alexandrite on each side represents our daughters Jessica and Sophia. Then you get the other two. I hope this wasn't too cheesy. It was the present I wanted to give you. You welcomed all of them into this lovely world all by yourself very young and I couldn't picture anyone better for them. Happy Mother's Day baby. Love, Brad. She smiled. Brad was always calling her baby. She was wearing her locket. All of the girls were too. Their mother's baby picture and their baby picture. She pulled into the drive way and changed into something a little bit better for school. She would have to put scrubs on any way but she didn't care. She was on NICU rotation. Woo hoo! That was the best one. She hated it because her baby sisters were in there for a month.

House sat in his office looking at the pictures his wife forced on his desk. All of the kids, him and her, and the entire family minus the oldest two. He had a picture of Samantha from when she was thirteen. He refused to have any other picture. He didn't have a case, and he was hiding from his wife because he didn't want to do clinic duty. Then he heard the devil Jimmy Choo's clicking his way. He sighed and tried to wipe the smirk off his face.
" HOUSE! CLINIC DUTY NOW"! His wife yelled at him. He kept smirking.
" Wipe the smirk off your face"! She snapped.
" Sorry Cuddles. Did you say something"?
" House, get down to the clinic now. If our daughter worked here you'd be down there plotting something against me".
" Do you her around here anywhere"?
" House". She growled. They'd been married almost ten years. Wow. That was a long time.
" I'll do it later". He brushed off.
" House, as much as I love you and our children I will divorce you. Get down to the clinic. Now"!
" You'd never divorce me".
" Wanna bet"? She questioned raising her eyebrow at him.
" I'll do it later Cuddles. Promise".
" Yeah right House. If I don't see you down there in five minutes I'm divorcing your crippled ass". She said then turned on her heel and walked out of his office. He was still smirking when she left. If only Samantha could see her parents.
