Ashley's POV

-

I'm 15 now. Or should I say we're 15 now. Ryder and I turned 15 yesterday, as a matter of fact. It's been a long road since mom and dad first had Ryder and I, but it's been full of sweet surprises. When Ryder and I were 5, mom had Natalie, our first sibling, other than each other, of course. Natalie was the cutest baby girl, she looked just like mom in the face, but had dads sparkling blue eyes. We were a happy family of 5, until one day, on our 9th birthday, mom announced to everyone that she was, surprise, pregnant. She had baby Mason about 7 months later. He was also very adorable, with a cross between mom and dad. It was kind of funny, actually. If you held him up to mom, everyone would say he looked just like her, but if you held him up to dad, its like his features changed to look exactly like him. Now, you might think that mom would stop there, after having 4 kids, but nooo. Yesterday, on me and Ryders 15th birthday, she announced that she was, in fact, pregnant but with a twist. Again. Its like she likes announcing these type of things on our birthday. But here's the twist; she's having triplets, 2 girls and one boy. You might be thinking, how is that possible? Twins and then triplets? I know. Its crazy. But moms always loved kids, and she said she's wanted a lot of kids since she was a young girl. But I mean, triplets? I guess you don't get to choose, but still. We were a happy family of 6, and then boom! Were a family of 9. And here's the other thing. We al knew she was pregnant, she's 7 months pregnant, but she's just now telling us she's having triplets. I kind of guessed something like this was coming, her belly is way too big to just be carrying one baby, but still. On our birthday? Maybe she doesn't realize how much it hurts Ryder and I. I guess I shouldn't be complaining, I was the first born, even the first between Ryder and I. But 7 kids? In my book, that's crazy.  Ryder vents to me all the time about how he's tired of mom and dad having so many kids, but other than that we don't talk much anymore. He's got a girlfriend now, and she doesn't like me. I'm not sure why she doesn't like me, I mean I'm his twin sister, but whatever. I try telling Ryder that she has threatened me before and that she honestly doesn't like me, but he doesn't believe me. He only wants her. Between mom having so many kids, and my own twin brother ignoring me for hos girlfriend, my life sucks. I mean, I love everyone a lot, they're family. But sometimes (more like all the time) it just gets hard. Since I'm the oldest, I'm supposed to be the role model, but sometimes I just wanna be young and I can't do that. Ugh. Enough complaining. My life isn't that bad. Mom and dad love me and I love them. I just wish there wasn't so many of us on the family tree. At least I now have a job as a bagger at our local grocery store. That means I can get out. But Ryders girlfriend works there, and she doesn't make work easy. But there's always tomorrow.
