Baby No. 7 & 8 - Jenna's Point of View

"Mum! Mum! Are you gonna be okay!!" I yelled in concern.

"It's ok, Jenna!!" She replies to me while in pain.

I closed my eyes and prayed she will be fine.

My prayers were answered, because the moment I opened my eyes I saw a beautiful little boy in front of me. His name is Riley.

She was still in labour oddly, and it turned out she had twins! Meet Rose Marie Hollows.

For the rest of the day, mum looked after the garden and the twins. They looked adorable.








Once the twins came home, I noticed some odd things between them. 

They weren't talking.

Or sitting next to each other while they were doing their homework. Weird.

I asked Celeste why but she only said "we wanted to study on our own." What an answer.





I sat in the living room to watch tv. I saw the girls walk up together to their bedroom. Guess they are friends then. Not.

I heard a lot of yelling upstairs.
"Celeste, I worked way more harder than you on that idea!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

For the first time ever, the twins were fighting. 

" Your the worst sister ever!"

" I wish you weren't even born!" That was when the yelling died down.

Celeste ran out of the room immediately and was in tears.

I was really angry.

"Why would you say such a thing?! You're sisters! Like, actual sisters! "

    


I ran to find Celeste.











And Mikayla thought about it for a long time...

I finally caught up with Celeste and could see what Mikayla said really hurt her.

"You know she didn't really mean that..." I said. "...And why were you arguing in the first place?"

She wiped off her tears and said, "Mikayla and I were doing an assignment together and there was this amazing idea she and I came up with. We both promised we would credit each other, but when our teacher asked, Mikayla said 'I made the idea!'" 




"Really? This was over credit and recognition?" I was shocked. This may be a fight some siblings do against each other, but not Celeste and Mikayla. They're too close.

"Well I'm going to tell you something." I said. "I'm going to leave tonight since Molly's coming home and I'm not gonna be here. Can you promise me you will be sisters with Mikayla again?"

"I promise..." She said very softly. I called up Piper, my half sister, and asked her if I could live there for a while. She said yes and I packed up all my stuff and left.


Molly's Point of View

I came home from School of Peace and Love and smelt something sweet. I walked pass by Jenna, who moved out of the house. I hugged her and told her I'll move in with her soon.

Then, I entered the kitchen. Mum was making something. 

"Mum, what's that?" I asked.

"Ambrosia. It turns you into a human."

Ecstatic, I thanked mum, grabbed the plate and ate. It gave me a fuzzy warm feeling inside.

Then, I could feel my spirit be resurrected and I started to feel...alive.

Then, I turned into a normal human. Hooray!

Babies No. 7 and 8 - All Grown Up and Still My Little Girls

Two Hours Later
After tending the garden, I watch tv, I feel so tired after all that fishing that I would probably vomit again.

I decided to make Lobster Thermador. Molly was going to Shang Simla for the Twinbrook Community School's student exchange services.

Afterwards, each of the boarding school sent me a email and explained to me that in a few months, my daughters' Celeste, Mikayla and Jenna will be back home. I called Molly's school to know when she will be back.

"Molly will come home just a few weeks after the others." Mrs Trevors replied. "Don't worry, she will be home."


I hung up and decided to go to sleep. I was too tired to do anything else.

A few months

I skyped my parents, and telling them that i'm pregnant and that they already have 6 granddaughters.

" Mum, dad, what do you think I should name the girls?" I asked to them.

"Girls? Oh darling. Maybe you should also pick a boys name, because, what happens if it was boys?" My parents told me.

I thought for a moment. I don't really know what to name them. Then, I thought of one.

" Well, what about Ricky?" I finally say it.

" Ricky sounds... it doesn't sound so great. What about Riley instead?" They replied.

"Hmm....doesn't sound so bad. I guess so..."

" And a girl?"

"Rose Marie."
"Oh, Rose Marie sounds beautiful, Cathy."

I was actually really fond of that name when I was younger. It was such a pretty name to me.

I say goodbye to my parents and got off of the computer. I hear a car turn up in front of the house. Finally! The girls are home.

The first one was Mikayla. I gave her a kiss on the forehead as she hugs me. She suddenly tells me something.

"Hey mum, I'd like to go to Twinbrook High. Smugglesworth isn't...worth it."

"Sure thing." A smile crept onto my face.

The next one was Jenna. She matured the last time I saw her. She looks as beautiful as ever.

The last one was Celeste. She looked nothing like her sister, but still looks beautiful.

"I want to go to Twinbrook with Mikayla. I can't go to school without her" Celeste whispered.

"Heard that, sis!" Mikayla said.

We all went back into the living room, talked about school and went back upstairs to sleep.

That Next Morning

As the sunlight touches my face, I realise that I have to make breakfast. Being the mother I am, I ask Jenna to do it instead, since I have to help Mikayla and Celeste clean the house.

She wasn't exactly.. pleased on getting out of bed.

Celeste and Mikayla didn't have the mood as well.

Oh well.

Jenna's Point of View

Lovely. I have to make pancakes for the entire family. Yipee.

Ok, ok. Mum is pregnant so that does mean I will have to do some stuff for her sake.

Well, I hope everyone likes Eggs Machivillian, 'cause I'm making it.

Minutes Later
My half-sisters just left for school and now I have to clean the dishes. I could see mum going to the kitchen as I get out.

As I get into the kitchen and put the dishes in the dishwater, mum starts to scream.

"Mum, I know. I didn't clean the dishes properly I'm sor- MUM?!?":

How do I help a woman in labour?!?

Babies No. 7 & 8 - Collecting The Deathfish

I remember one time me and Molly were talking when all of a sudden she sputtered, "I want to be human."
The first thought that ran through my head was why? But I realised that this is my daughter we're talking about. So, I started borrowing books about turning ghosts into humans. I mean, what are the odds of me finding a book that explains about ghosts?

Actually, I've founded three in the last hour.

Borrowing the books and taking them home, I start reading. When it comes to transforming ghosts into humans, you needed to create Ambrosia, a dish. Turns out the ingredients used in Ambrosia were life fruit and death fish, with also flame fruit. Life fruit and flame fruit were easy, as I grow them in my own garden. The only problem was Deathfish. I actually never heard of it, and I fished with my dad. This was like the only thing we never got, and I need it.

I went onto the computer to learn more about this 'Deathfish'. The bait you use to get the fish was with Angelfish, something I was familiar with, thank god. But you have to fish it at a certain time...lets say, 2 o'clock in the morning?

What I do for you, Molly.

********

At 5 in the afternoon, I went into the grocery store to buy bait for the Angelfish. This is gonna be hard work.

I went to the lake and fished for a couple hours. By the time I've finished I already caught four- no wait, five Angelfish. 

A while after fishing, the first sign of my pregnancy appeared and all my lunch came up and onto the grass. It wasn't a very good time for me at the moment.

\Driving to the graveyard, I saw Jason's grave, whom was Molly and Jenna's father. I thought it was scary when it was 10 at night, now, I guess I'm wrong. The cemetery at 2 o'clock in the morning was terrifying.

Turning around, I notice an odd statue of the Grim Reaper. A statue I never knew existed. Creepy.

After collecting more than five Deathfish, I went home and took a rest. I smelt revolting after all that fishing, so I tied up my hair and changed my clothes.

 I fertilized my omni plant with one of the Deathfish and tended my garden before everything wiltered.












It wasn't long until my bump showed...

Babies No. 7 & 8 - They Come And Go...

Everyone in the house woke up nice and calm, except for Molly. She didn't like the fact that I didn't enroll her again into boarding school.

So, instead of gardening, I contacted Molly's school.

"Hello this Mrs Florence speaking."

"Hi, I'm Molly Hollows' mother. I'm calling to notify the school that Molly has transferred to Twinbrook community school."

"Oh, ok. I'll notify the school board. Have a nice day, Miss Hollows."

"You too. Goodbye."

Molly is now studying in Twinbrook while Jenna stays in boarding school, Celeste will be in Dribbline Sports Academy and Mikayla will be in Smugglesworth Prep School.

Molly said she would be cleaning the house, gardening and doing the laundry, and then she would play video games with her sisters, while I went out of the house to see if there were anyone else who would like to participate.

I had to go around the entire suburb until someone said yes and wanted to participate.

Once I returned home, the first thing I expected to hear was a loud ruckus, but there turned out to be no noise except for some footsteps running towards me, along with a little girl saying, "Mum! You're home! Finally!".

I gave Mikayla a hug as she came near to me. 

"Mum, today we cleaned our bedrooms, played some games, and Molly told us a scary story! Oh, and Celeste and I played with our dolls!" She said, filled with excitement.

"That must've been fun! We'll play more tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok!" She said.  I noticed that her hair was tied it up into a ponytail. I don't think she likes having her hair down.

Then, I heard a noise from upstairs and looked up. I know Mikayla did too, because she stopped jumping, froze and looked up the ceiling too. I heard Celeste and Jenna's voices. What are they doing?



Jenna's Point of View


I followed Celeste down the hall, hearing her say, "Come on Jenna! You gotta see this!

Molly was gardening outside, and Mikayla was going to hug mum and tell her about our day. (Hope she doesn't tell mum I allowed Celeste and her to watch a scary movie)





'I hope this is good.' I say in my head.

"There's just something weird in Molly's room. You just gotta see it, ok?"

" What? A zombie gnome in the bedroom? That was just a movie we saw ok?"







As I enter Molly's room, the only thing Celeste thought was 'weird' was Piper Hollows' graduation certificate.

"See? There was a person named Piper Hollows."
"Yeah, she's our half sister, for god's sake!" 


I was furious at her for making me run here for nothing. I could hear the elevator coming up. I went to bed immediately, just for mum to not get upset.

The Next Day

A week passes by and it's already Sunday. Celeste, Molly and Jenna all packed their bags and entered the taxi (before it was a limo but now it changed). 

Only me and Molly were in the house, other than the baby. Though the most saddest part rushed through my head: When they come back, they will be all grown up, well, Jenna really.

I was so upset when that reality check flooded through me. I hope this isn't what I feel every time my children leave.                                 

Minutes later, I soon wiped off my face and went back inside to have lunch with Molly.
