Prompt- children


many people of Mystic Falls stared, a family of nine children, nine!

Many of them pitied the poor woman that had gave birth to them, many women wondered how she had did it. After all most of them had a child or two and the childbirth had been torture for them.

But they were even more shocked when three! Three full grown adults walked up to the house, one man and two women. Were they all sleeping together?

It didn't make any sense to them, at all. All they knew was a large family had moved to Mystic falls, the adults were mysterious and unknown, many people wanted them in their beds because they didn't know anything about them.

The mystery added something more to them.

The children were all well behaved as well, for teenagers.

They had thought with such a large group of teens that the small town would have been destroyed, but instead they were polite, quiet and very respectful. They didn't know what to make of them, the whole family was one giant puzzle.

But after awhile they were left alone, the townspeople knew that they were there, they had seen the teens from time to time. The adults?

They hardly seen, at first some called it bad parenting. After all who leaves their children alone?

Not any decent parent that was for sure, but that was when they paid attention. They left early hours of the morning, and when they came back it was nearly midnight sometimes later.

They felt their respect for them go up, they were working all sorts of hours to make sure that they had a home somewhere that they could live. And they all understood that, so they had decided to help them out, it wasn't giant things just small things like an extra milk when the teens weren't looking.

A discount on the bread.

They had even given jobs to the teens so that they could help their parents.

But even though they had seen the adults they had never seen any partners, it was strange. Normally they would of been someone else helping them. After all nine kids were a lot for anyone to raise, especially three people who were working themselves to the bone.

But that was when they heard things, things that made sense for them.

Harry that was the only male, had lost his wife when he had a drug overdose. She had been pregnant and had taken a dose of heroin which had killed both her and the children that she was carrying. She had also been stealing from him as well.

Angela she was the youngest out of the three of them, she had went into early labor with her three, after her ex-husband had tried to kill her. She had nearly died during childbirth several times, she had bled so badly that they had told her that anymore children and she would die.

Sarah was the eldest of them, form what they had heard she had been a very successful lawyer. But then she had been attacked and had chosen to keep them, her ex-partner had wanted her to get rid of them but she had filed for a divorce.

The townspeople felt their hearts go out to them, they had been through so much yet they were still able to raise nine children, and juggle jobs. Yes they didn't have any friends but it wasn't for lack of trying they simply didn't have time.

So one day when the Mikealsons moved into town they were all hit by an idea.
