Suddenly having two extra kids was very hard. Having Sierra and Rebecca both under a year old was even harder. Kylie opened her arms wide to her two new siblings though. Orlando was slowly adjusting to his new family. He still asked about Elisabeth, but Carlos knew someday he'd fully accept Kim as his new mother.

"I need some diapers." Kim said juggling Sierra on one hip and Rebecca in one arm.

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Kylie whined.

"You're just going to have to wait." Kim said laying the babies on the floor. Sierra kicked her legs up in the air as if she was riding a bike, "Get some diapers. See what is taking Orlando so long." Kylie ran out of the room. Kim pushed her hair off of her face.

"He spilled all of the diapers!!" Kylie yelled.

"No way!" Orlando yelled. Kim groaned as she got the girls undressed.
"Just get me one diaper from Sierra's bag and one from Becky's bag, please." Kim said. She was going to go insane. That was it. Kim stared at the babies. Sierra was sucking on Rebecca's hand. She chuckled softly, "Seeing you girls make the stress worth it."

"Here!" Orlando threw two diapers into the living room. They hit Kim in the head. She groaned.

"Somewhat." She said taking Rebecca's diaper off. She heard Kylie's screams.

"JOEYS HERE!!!!" She yelled.

"Thanks for making my ear drums bleed." Kim said under her breath. Jimmy stood in the doorway chuckling.

"Having fun?" he asked. Kim looked at her ex-husband.

"I need help here." She whimpered. Jimmy knelt down and pulling Sierra near him.

"I take it you're about to loose your mind." He said. Kim nodded.

"This is very hard, Jimmy. You have no idea." She said.

"Thank god." He chuckled as he changed Sierra. "If you need anything, Kimmie, just ask." Jimmy snapped the buttons on Sierra's romper up. He cradled her against his chest. Sierra giggled softly.

"Thanks." Kim said. "This is so hard, Jimmy."
"I know, but you're doing great." He looked down at Sierra. "You have some very wonderful children. You're really blessed."

"I am aren't I?" Kim cuddled Rebecca, "I can't believe I got these angels."

"Angels." Jimmy chuckled.

"They really are, Jimmy." She sighed. "You know how much I wanted a large family." He nodded tickling Sierra. She laughed loudly.

"And now you have it." Jimmy said. "And it's harder than you thought it would be."

"Shhh. Don't tell anyone." She chuckled.

"Momma, can we have food now?" Kylie stood in the doorway. Kim nodded and looked at Jimmy.
"Motherhood calls me." She said.

"If you need help, Kimmie, maybe find a nanny." He said. Kim chuckled softly as she went to go get the children lunch. A nanny. She didn't need one. She could mother her children just fine by herself.

April 3rd, 2005

Carlos had a day off and he was spending it with his family. Kim had made an appointment with the picture people to get their family photo taken.

The girls were all dressed in beautiful dresses Catherine bought for them. Kylie was in green. Rebecca was in pink and Sierra was in pink. Orlando and Joey were wearing khaki pants with blue button up shirts. They all looked very great.

"I don't want my picture taken." Carlos said. Kim shot him a look as she pushed the stroller into the studio. A woman walked up to them.

"Good morning. My named is Clorinda how may I help you?" She asked.

"Hi. We had an appointment. The name is Nieto." Kim said.

"Oh yes. We were waiting for you." Clorinda smiled at the children, "All of these children yours?"

"Yes they are." Kim frowned slightly. She's been getting a lot of those comments lately. Do you know what causes that? Are you Catholic or Mormon? Do you own a television?

"We want a nice family photo taken." Carlos said.

"And we'll take one." Clorinda smiled leading them over to the photo area. "All right. Mom you sit right there."

"Okay." Kim sat down on a table like thing. Clorinda stared at them trying to picture where to put everyone.

"Dad, stand right behind the table." She said. Carlos moved behind it. "You..." She lead Joey to stand behind Kim. "You sit next to Mom." Kylie sat next to Kim. "You next to your sister." Orlando sat next to Kylie.

"Don't forget the babies." Kylie said. Clorinda chuckled.

"I wont sweetheart." She picked Sierra up and handed her to Kim, "You hold her and you hold the small one." She placed Rebecca in Orlando's arms. "Beautiful."

"I feel like an ass." Carlos mumbled.

"Shut up." Kim chuckled.

"Smile!" Clorinda squeaked a few toys to get Sierra and Rebecca's attention. Sierra began to squeal. Rebecca unable to smile large yet just stared. "Beautiful."

"I want a picture of just me and the babies." Kylie said.

"In a minute, Sweetheart." Kim said as Clorinda continued to take pictures.
"I can do one of the boy, girls, and the two of you separately if you want." Clorinda said.

"The kids will be fine." Carlos said.

"Oh come on." Kim said.

"I don't want my picture taken more than it has to be." Carlos said. Clorinda took Rebecca out of Orlando's arms.
"I've found men don't like these photo sessions as much as everyone else." She chuckled, "Let's put the girls in our springtime backgrounds."

"Can we go now?" Orlando asked.
"Soon, son." Carlos said. Kim watched at Clorinda placed the girls together and began to take pictures of them. They looked so adorable together. They looked so much a like. You would have thought they were full-blooded sisters. Kim liked that.

"Mom, please." Joey said, "We have enough pictures." Kim sighed deeply and looked at Clorinda.

"I'm so sorry to have to cut this short." She said.
"I completely understand." She said. "Your pictures should be done in two weeks."

"Thank you." Kim smiled softly picking Rebecca and Sierra up. "Okay, let's go." All the children cheered. She sighed deeply. Five children and very little time. Se would have to get used to the hustle and bustle of her new life.
