Sweet Alexis

39

Over the years we added to the family and I am so glad we had the room for all of the children
It's Christmas time and the house is decorated and in two hours we will all be heading down to the city to do a carriage tour to see the lights it's something we have done ever since Berkeley and Kennedy have been born

We have to book it  in advance so they have enough carriages with 11 children and 18 adults it's a lot of people
And if the test I just peeded on is correct there will be 12 children next year or even thirteen since they love to get me pregnant with twins
Let me tell you the names and ages of the 11 we have now
Of course there is Hope which she is now 12
Kennedy and Berkeley are 11
Cameron Liam and Morgan Lee  (both boys )10
Matthew Jace  and Devon Jacob  8
Trenton Samuel and Ryker James 7
Xavier Brooks 4
Hensley Grace 2

After the stick confirms that indeed I'm pregnant again I smile at the fact that I'm am , I lost a baby between Xavier and Hensley and didn't think I would get pregnant again with Hensley but I did
So it shouldn't surprise me with all this Male testosterone around
Hope ask for a another sister each time I announced I am pregnant she just wants more girls in the house not that she doesn't love her brothers but they all can be over protective of her but she only has one sister Hensley who is two
Which they get that from their daddies

After I tuck the stick in a plastic baggy I wash my hands and head down to meet up with everyone

"hello my beautiful wife " North says as he grabs me in hallway
Pushing me up against the wall
I melt into his kisses before it gets to hot he picked me up taking me into the closet room which by the scent is Boone's room tossed me on the bed
And had his way with me making both of us a little late meeting up with the family

Oh I forgot to mention that Gigi and PawPaw are fostering a little boy well he's not that little he is 16 and is very protective of himself but he's been around us for three years now and between all of us he has learned that Family is a Choice and We chose him to be in our family so the walls are coming down Caleb has enjoyed working on motorcycles with Brandon and North and loves to go sailing with Silas

Jessica,Kota's sister and my sister in-law got married four years ago to Heath Smith he is a wonderful fit to our family they are expecting their first child next year

As North and I made it to the bottom step we heard
"Alright Little Birdies Lets get things together we have to leave in half hour " Raven said

" Yes Papa" all of them said

As we rounded the corner I hear Hensley cry so I turn to see what was the matter
"Xavier Brooks " I say very loudly to which everyone stops what they are doing the older kids know that Voice
"'Mama" he says looking up at me with those Almond Eyes
"Did you just hit your sister " I asked him
" She took my car " he says dropping his head down
" Xavier we don't not hit anyone especially girls now you go apologize to her and then I want you to sit in the corner for fifteen minutes, Hope you will need to get Xaviers stuff together for him while he sits and Xavier tomorrow you will talk with your Daddy Owen and Daddy Axel about this " I tell him
" Yes mama " he says between the tears
He goes over to Hensley hugs her to which she stops crying and hugs him back
" love u " she says to him
" Love you too " He says back then heads to corner and sits down
Hensley looks at him then back at me then to her brother and heads over to him taking his hand and sitting with him

" Good Job Mama " Boone says as he hugs me
" Mmm you smell like North  mmm I wonder why " he whispers in my ear
I turn to face him and look up at that handsome face
" Maybe because we had some fun in your bed " I said with a grin
Boone just laughed
" I see well maybe later we can have fun his bed "
" Mmmm sounds like a plan to me" I tell him

We all made it the carriage rides there was nine carriages each carriage could hold six people we ended up taking 5 of them the last one had Myself, Owen and Axel it was just three of us

Curling under the blanket as we rode through the city of Charleston looking at the decorations and lights I laid my head on Owens shoulder I hooked my arm through his , Axels hand was on my thigh so I cover it with mine
Owen kisses my head
" I love you Alexis " he says
"I love you too Owen "
" Princess do you have something to tell us " Axel asked me
Damn it's like he knows before anyone else now the only pregnancy that he didn't know before anyone else was Kennedy and  Berkeleys the rest he has known before I did
"how did you know " I asked him
" Your scent changes each time I don't know why but it always smells so much sweeter and I noticed it yesterday day but you had been baking cookies so I brushed it off but today I smelled it again and I knew"

" So when is the pending Birth of a new little Birdie " Owen asked

"Well I can say I don't know I'm not that far along I only missed last month and now it's closing in on the end of this month so 8 weeks maybe " I say

Nine months later and a home birth that wasn't planned but they wanted to come during a Thunderstorm that had knocked power out to the house
Austin Henry and Caden Blake came into this world
With the help of their Papa Sean Grandpa Phil and quite a few cuss words

It was 8 years before I got pregnant again which was a total shock to all of us I thought I was done with having babies
Quadruplets came along
Philip Dean , Jordan Elijah , Reese Oliver ,Alexander Bryce
I told them all to get snipped while I recovered from the triplets and they all did so no more babies

The end
