I got out of the car slamming the door slightly being sure I didn't wake Chris up.

I walked up to the door and herd the noise of the TV coming from inside.

I went and knocked on the door lightly.

"Hello?" The door came open and I walked inside to see Gordie asleep with Alexia in his lap.

I put my hand to my mouth to hid the laughter, but it was so cute.

Alexia was drooling all over Gordie's red shirt and Gordie was holding her by her sides as he feel asleep snoring.

I walked over slowly and got her diaper bag and lifted her from Gordie's body.

"Oh come on Mom I don't wanna get up yet." said Gordie rolling on his side half asleep "Gordie's it's Mel, I'm back and I'm taking my daughter."

I said quietly and tiptoed with my sleeping daughter in my arms to the kitchen.



I wrote a note to Aunt Dorothy and Gordie telling them that I had taken Alexia to our new house.

I walked back into the living room and got tape out and taped it to Gordie's fore head so I knew that he would get it.

I walked back to the car a put Alexia in the car seat and drove to the lot were our house was.

Now Chris never told me what this house was like I've never seen it so this was the first official time I had ever seen it.

I pulled into the drive to a beautiful two story blue house, it had white shutters and I could see through the huge window in the front.

I saw the white picket fence in the front. I got out of the car and felt the muggey air. I went to the other side and pulled Alexia and the car seat out.

"Hey, Chris." I said in a soft voice, trying not to wake Alexia up.

"Chris." I said pushing the seat up and nudging him.

He moaned a little. Finally I put Alexia on the ground as she slept and jumped on Chris.

"Damn, what the hell?" "Well finally Chris I was beginning to think you were in a coma or something." I said laughing as he gave a look of disgust.

"Ok." He said very tired still. I got up off of his stomach and stepped outside and picked Alexia up.

Chris got out and squinted because of the bright sunlight. He walked me up to the door and unlocked it for me to see.

When I got in I saw beautiful furniture all around and white walls and a bright yellow sunny kitchen.

"Chris I love it!!" I yelled as I heard my echo going through out the house.

"I thought you might." He said putting his hand around my waist.

"Well what now?" I asked looking at him.

"I don't know?" He said looking back into my eyes.

"I know" He said as he leaned down picked me up and kissed me long. "That's it." I said kissing back.

"What's up stairs?" I asked pointing to the stairs.

"I'll show you." He took my hand as He led me up the stairs. I looked around and saw a long hallway leading to one bed room at the end of the hallway.

He walked me down to see a huge bedroom with a big wooden framed bed and rose pedals on the bed.

"Holy shit ,Chris, you did all this?" I said in complete shock on how beautiful the whole house was.

"Yeah, well a little help from the guys, but yup." He had a huge smile on his face.

"This is so cool." I said leaning up on my tippy toes and kissing him.



Weeks became months, Months became years, and years became Ten years.

Life had passes in the Chamber House. New additions came to play. Our first children together were Twins, Courtney and Christian.

They were born the same year we graduated. I was so fat in my gown I bulges out of it.

We all graduated, maybe not the same year, but we still were all friends. After those years Teddy and Vern drifted away into new groups and made new friends and left Gordie, Chris, and I behind, but we stuck it out.



It was 1973 and I was twenty seven almost twenty eight. Chris and I had planned on filling the house up with children, but after the twins came it seemed like all hope was lost.

It was January 12, 1973 and I was laying in my bed at 9:00 as Chris made sure everyone was locked in there rooms for the night.

"Hey there all away." "Cool." I had been waiting for Chris for an hour to do that.

" Christian wanted me to make sure that the Vampires wouldn't come out of the closet and suck his blood."

"Were the hell do these kids get those ideas?" "I asked him that and his response was "School daddy."

"They always get ideas from school." I said smiling

I sat up in the bed with my glasses slightly on my face reading a good romance novel as Chris bent down and kissed my lips gently.

"Come on ,Chris, it's getting to the best romance part." "Well ,Mel, lets have a little romance of ourselves." He said with a wink and a tiny smirk on his face.

"Ok." I said placing the book on the desk and switched the lamp off as I sank into the bed feeling the gentle lips of Chris on mine.



Beep!!! I swung my head up fast and went over Chris to the right side of the bed and slammed the alarm clock against the wall.

"You know dear if we break that we can't afford another." He said with his eyes closed with his hand placed on his fore head.

"I know it just gets on me fucking nerves." I said laying my head on his stomach.

"Me too." He said putting his hand on my head. "Well I got to get in the shower." He said as he kissed me on the hair and headed to the bathroom.

I got up and brushed my long hair down. I walked down the stairs and went knocking on doors.

The first door I knocked on was Alexia's three knocks on the eleven year olds room and I heard something fall and I heard an "Owe"

I chuckled and went to my second daughters room and opened the door and saw her on her day bed in her pink pajamas with her brown hair in a mess.

"Courtney, it's time to get up." I said leaning down and giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I know mommy, but I'm tired."

"Ok get up." I said messing her hair up. "Stop it Mom." She wined as she sat up and looked at me with Chris's eyes.

She un covered her legs and headed to her dresser and swung out some clothes.

I walked down to the third room of the downstairs across from Courtney's room and went in. My son Christian, lay on his side as he drooled all over his pillow.

"Chris!!" I screamed making him jump. "Mom, you scared me!!" He said sitting up with his Chris eye's staring at me with his hand on his heart.

"Ok hon, get up and get ready for your first day back to school." "Oh shit more school" He said looking down with his face to the cloths all over his room.

Now Chris when we first had kids we decided if they heard us cuss that we would let them, and of course last year the twins heard us say it.



I walked back out into the kitchen and through the pancakes in the pan. I cooked about ten and put the plate on the tabled saving two for Chris when he got done from the shower.

"Come on you guys the bus is coming soon hurry up." I shouted as I heard three doors slam and muttering going on.

"We are here, Mom." Alexia said coming out flipping her jet black hair. "Attitude." I said snapping my fingers together.

"Mom, your weird very strange!!" She said with a smile stuffing a plain pancake in her mouth. "Bus!!" I said looking out the front window, as I was washing dishes.

"Bye Mom ,Dad!!" They all shouted as the door slam and silence came through out the house.

I went to the table and watched through the window as my baby's got on the bus. I got there plates and rushed to the sink.

"Wow I feel much better." I turned around to see Chris rushing down the stairs with his suit on and his black brief case in hand.

"And I kept some good food for you." I said coming to the table as he grabbed a fork and syrup.

"Am I a good cook?" "Oh the best." He said crinkling his nose. "You know you love it." I said smiling, pecking his nose.

"Well off to work." He said kissing me one last time, and then he headed off to his black car to go to his independent law firm.

"Bye." I said in a soft voice as I waved a little wave as he smiled and waved back.

I went to each of the kids rooms and cleaned. I cleaned every day.

My job, officially I had no job, I stayed home watched TV and cleaned. This was good when all the kids were young then I didn't have to pay a baby sitter.

Finally I got dressed and headed to the school to pick them up to go home.

I got in the red car I had gotten so long ago and headed up the street to get six kids. I was kind of the car pool, for Gordie. Gordie and Laura got married after about a year of dating, he was excited! They had three kids, Megan and Jennifer, and there only son William.

I pulled up next to the school waiting for the final bell to ring.

As it rang I noticed two little girls with a tan and dark brown hair and doe brown eyes coming to the car first.

"Meg, Jennifer how was your first day back from Christmas vacation?" "Aww, it was ok ,Aunt Mel, but we got homework." "Well if it makes you feel any better I got home work in first and third grade too."

"Climb in back and we will wait on Chris, Courtney, and Alexia, and then we will drive all the way to kinder care and pick up Will." I said with a smile as I peered in the mirror to look at there happy faces, smiling like Laura.

"Mom drive on." I had gotten lost in my thoughts when I realized that all the kids were in the car.

"Alexia, what in the Hell happened to your face?" "Ooooo, Aunt Mel, said the H word." I looked back to see Jennifer holding her mouth.

"Mandy punched me because she thought she over heard me talking about her." "Did you tell the principle?" "Hell no I ain't no tattle tale!!"

"Whatever." I said looking away and putting the car in gear.

"Where are we going?" Alexia asked looking out the window. "To pick Will up." Her face brightened. "Aww, I love that kid." She said smiling waiting to pick the two year old up from care.

I pulled into the drive and she ran out and signed Will out.

"Alexia." I heard him say as he played with her hair.

"Yeah ,Will." I looked and saw the small blonde haired brown eyed little boy climb into the front seat with me and Alexia.

"Hi ,Aunt Meal." I laughed because he couldn't quiet pronounce my name. "Sit down ,Will." I said patting on the seat as he took a seat stumbling as he did.

"Alexia, buckle him up." I said smiling. I looked back and pulled out onto the busy street.

I drove for ten minutes and then found myself at the house.

"Ok who has homework?" Five kids raised there hands, as we all ran to the front door. I reached for my keys and then unlocked it.

"I'm hungrey." I heard little complaints in the back round.

"I will fix snacks." I was in the kitchen now going through cabinets to see what we had. "Mom?" "Yeah." I turned around to see Alexia standing there.

"Do you think I should of told?" She asked twisting her hair in little curls as she looked up with her deep blue eyes.

"Well do you like her?" "Well no!" She said widing her eyes.

"Then hell yeah if you didn't like her." I said coming to her and putting my arm around her. Her eyes widened and she smiled a little.

"Thanks." She said hugging me.

"I need some help." I said sitting the peanut butter and jelly and the bread on the counter.

"Ok." She said with a smile and hopped on the stool and made half of the sandwiches with me.

"Come and get it!!" I yelled cupping my hands over my mouth.

Four kids came running like a stampeed I heard them coming from the next room.

"Here you guys go." I said placing four plates on the round table.

"Hey." I turned around to see Gordie standing there looking at his kids eating.

"Hey yourself." I said smiling as Will walked to me. "Hey." Gordie said as he took Will from me.

"Daddy." He said playing with his shirt.

"Awww Gordie, he reminds me of you as a kid." I said smiling. "Yeah really?" He said checking Will over.

"Yup." He said smiling. "So what are the girls doing?" "Eating what else do kids do?" "Yeah." He said smiling putting Will down.

"So?" I said walking into the living room and picking all the book bags up.

"How's Laura?" "Well she's ok." "How about you?" He said coming and helping me gather his children's things.

"Good I love life." I said with a smile looking on the bickering children.

"She reminds me of him." I said looking down at the floor. "Who?" He asked sitting on the couch now.

"Lexia, she reminds me of Jason." "But you never…" "I know what he looked like she has his attitude his dark jet black hair."

I said now looking at her cool in her seat. "You know ,Gordo, she's going to do the math someday and find out Chris isn't her daddy."

I said walking toward Gordie now. "Hey when it comes around it comes around." He said looking at me with a worried face on him.

"Yeah." I said walking through the living room to the other enteance to the kitchen.

"Well Megan, Jennifer, looks like your father is here." I said smiling. They both looked up from there sandwiches with jelly all over there faces and ran screaming "Daddy, Daddy you here!!" They ran with open arms.

"Yup girls I am." He said smiling and as they reached he picked both the girls up and carried them out.
