Since my sister had the twins life at school has been hard as I'm the awkward little brother that has no friends other than my siblings and my cousins. I also get teased because of my family being so big and how everyone seems to love each other. Mom and Dad say I'm a smart boy and if nobody likes me well it's their own fault because I'm a good boy who doesn't get into trouble. Tomorrow Dad and my siblings are throwing mom a surprise birthday party. Being one of the youngest children of my parents is hard because I really don't know what mom likes other than the Mc Nasty and having children. I asked Bailey what mom likes and he wasn't sure what she liked because she would spend a lot of time with dad and that usually ends up with siblings. Well the last party dad threw resulted in Amelia and I so dad hasn't thrown a party in 10 years.
Zola is excited for the party as it is the first time in weeks that there was something fun going on. I think my sister has found out what mom and dad found out years ago when they had Bailey. I love my sister very much along with Freddy, Carrie, and Caroline but sometimes Freddy gets on my nerves because all he talks about is racecars and taking Zola to races. It gets me mad because Bailey and I want to go to the races but mom and dad never have the time to take us and Bailey doesn't have any money this week because he hasn't earned any money because he hasn't been needed for babysitting because Liz, and Ty are at daycare and El is watching Carrie and Caroline because she can't do any of her after school activities because she is still recovering from her first surgery and she has to have surgery I think tomorrow but at least mom can have some fun with El before she has to have surgery again.
. This morning when I woke up in my Star Wars pajamas for breakfast Bailey in the bathroom in his Star Trek pajamas with Tyler on his hip who was in his Mickey Mouse pajamas that I once wore when I was Tyler's age. Bailey helped Tyler brush his three teeth he had. "Good morning Luke are you ready for today? The surprise event." Bailey said. "Ya I guess hey can we go to the mall so I can get something for mom." I asked. "Luke you know what I'll ask the girls if they would like to come." Bailey said. "I go too" asked Tyler. "Yes you can little brother" I told my little brother. We ended up going with just Elizabeth and El because Lexie Hannah, and Amelia had already gotten mom something for her party. When we returned dad was furious with us. "How can you be late for this you know Lexie, Hannah, and Amelia are going to be home with mom in a few minutes you have to get ready." Dad said not realizing that we had everything together.
When mom returned she was shocked that we had a party. "Oh my god you guys" is all my mom could say. She was excited to spend time with all nine of us plus her grand daughters. Mom didn't want to age but she was happy. Dad surprised mom with a surprise 25th wedding anniversary and birthday present which was a cruise to Hawaii. Mom and dad really have only been married for 21 years legally or is it 20 I lost track but I'm only 9 so I really don't know. Mom was excited for the trip but sad because she would be leaving El when she is in the hospital as she is having surgery tomorrow afternoon. El is going to be in the hospital this time for a few weeks because this surgery is going to be extensive. When mom got to my present she was excited as I finally got our newest family portrait developed after 6 weeks of it being taken the picture is mom and dad in the back on each side of Zola, Freddy,while Bailey is holding Carrie, Lexie holding Elizabeth, Ellis holding Caroline, Hannah holding Tyler and Amelia and I standing between Ellis and Bailey. Mom was touched by the photo as it was our family if we were to have a whole family photo with all my aunts, uncles, and cousins well some of us might not be able to be spotted unless your doing a where's Waldo which was my favorite when I was 4 years old.
Today was a great day as a family I love my family very much. Now I'm heading to bed with my brothers as tomorrow we will be spending our Monday morning which we are supposed to be in school with our sister. Mom says that Ellis is going to be fine but I'm scared for her and I'm sure Lexie is petrified over it as she is her identical twin. "Good night Luke thank you for the birthday present." Said my mom as she was tucking me in. Bailey still gets tucked in almost nag with our sisters. Mom and dad are great parents and I think when Carrie and Caroline get older they will be spoiled by mom and dad like they are by there 5 aunts and 3 uncles.
A/N: so here is chapter 21 I enjoyed writing this chapter I hope you guys liked it. Also there's going to be some family drama coming up when Meredith and Derek leave for there trip. I hope to have chapter 22 out by tomorrow evening. There's 2 more chapters until. I'm not able to write because school starts Tuesday so the only time I have is Saturday's and vacations and I might utilize my Saturday with my family. Hope to have more fun with this story there's lots of ideas and excitement for the shepherd clan.
