Angel Academy

Chapter Sixteen

Corbin's POV

"Mom," I said, sighing. "I am not in the mood."

She sighed exasperated. "Corbin! You fucked her. AGAIN!" 

I looked up at her. "Mom, we were drunk. Again..."

She rolled her eyes. "No shit Corbin. Why the hell would you bring her home and get drunk with her?" 

"I-I-" I stammered, unsure of what to say. "Mom, I guess I just wanted for us to hang out for once. I really missed her."

Sighing softly, my mother came and sat on the bed, and layed her hand on my knee. "Corbin, you are such a selfish man. You have Addaline, and Addaline's baby, but you seem to want Niamh as well."

I looked up at her. "You don't know what you're talking about. Now get out so I can get out of bed. I'm naked you know." My mom jumped up with disgust. 

"Nasty," she muttered as she left my room.

"Addaline, please call me back. I'm headed to Angel Academy. Meet me there after the appointment.."I I hung up my phone and pulled into Millie's diner. I stepped out of my car and walked into Millie's.

Millie stood behind the counter and there were eight children sitting at the playing with forks and things, sucking on pacifiers and giggling. They were all girls. I moved to the counter and leaned on the counter. Millie walked over to me smiling. "Hey, Corbin how are you?"

"Addie's mad at me, but what else in new?" I nodded towards the little girls. "So, why are there so many little girls here?"

Millie rolled her eyes at me. Women seem to do that a lot. "They're my girls."

I looked at them. "All of them?" 

Millie nodded and poured me some coffee. "Everyone of them.' She motioned to them to head our way. "This is Barbara and Jesse. They're twins. My first children." They smiled and waved at me. Both had brown hair that curled around their heads wildly like their father's. They looked to be about six. "This is Elizabeth." A little girl who looked about four, with short blonde hair and bright blue eyes looked up at me. She didn't smile, just looked up at me. "These three are Jasmine, Megan, and Hailey." Three little blonde girls walked up. They were short, and seemed to be possibly two . "And these two are Susie and Bailey." Two little girls sat in high chairs and giggling to each other. They looked to be about 16 months old.

I looked at Millie. She was very young looking, with blonde hair that fell down around her and down to her shoulders. Her eyes were extremley bright green, and she had thin lips. Her cheeks had freckles and she smiled at me. She didn't look more than twenty. "Millie, how old are you?"

Millie blushed. "I'm only twenty-five."

I gaped at her. "Millie! Twenty-five and you have nine kids?"

She looked down in embarassed. "Corbin, my husband and I got married at a very young age, and we both grew up in a mormon household. Our parents had many children and they both instilled in us that we should have as many children as possible for the Heavenly Father. We both agreed to not use birth control. If God wants us to get pregnant, than we'll get pregnant."

I frowned. "Do all mormons believe that?"

Millie shook her head. "No, not all mormons. Just my husband and I." She looked up at me from under her eyelashes. "I know most people don't agree with it, but-"

I smiled and shook my head. "No. It's great. I mean, if that's what you two like or whatever then that's... whatever." We laughed a little and she looked at Barbara and Elizabeth.
