Title: And Then There Were Five... Chapter 1 up!
Post by: mieley on January 13, 2007, 01:30:36 pm
Hey, everybody. This is my first story I've posted on here but it's not the first one I've written. The problem with my others is that I was always unsure how to end them! But, I'm pretty sure that I have an idea of the ending for this one, but it might be a little bit shorter than some stories.
I hope everyone likes this, and I'd love some positive feedback.
Thanks!



And Then There Were Five...
Chapter 1- Introductions

That strikingly beautiful woman is me, Linsay Marie Ellis. Haha, I'm only kidding.. I'm not THAT concieted. What can I say about myself? I'm really just a normal girl, there's not much to me. I can't say that I have any special talents or freakish abilities, because I don't. But, to put it simply, I'm a little insecure.



(http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/1605/snapshot92b2e69f72b4fbafx5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Who is that hunk? It's my husband, of course! His name is Dane, and he's possibley the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Aren't I lucky? We haven't been married long, only a little over 4 years. But, the love is still strong. We've got this real special and unique bond... I feel like I can tell him anything. There are no questions, second-guessing, or deciet in our relationship. He's practically perfect.



(http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/9104/snapshot92b2e69f52b2f2bnz1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Dane works at a photo shop as a packager. His real dreams are to be a professional photographer and take pictures for magazines and things like that. But I guess everyone has to start somewhere. The pay isn't much, about $200 a week, but he's a real trooper. He works everyday of the week except Sunday, 9-6. I personally, am not the working type. So Dane brings home the money and I make sure the house is clean. I think that sort of responsibility makes him feel important.. haha.

This is our house. It's one floor with about 4 rooms. It may not be the biggest or prettiest house in town but it's big enough for the two of us. We don't really need that much space anyway. The inside is decorated nicely and much to my plain taste. My sister decorated it, she and her husband share an interior designing bussiness. We may have to have a second floor built though, with our new arrivals coming. Oh, didn't I mention that, did I...?



(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2118/snapshot92b2e69ff2b4f89og6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)
I'm pregnant. I honestly feel like I'm going to pop. The doctor said it would be normal for my stomach to bulge a little more than the normal size of a pregnant womans. It is understandable. I'm sure you're still wondering what the hell I'm talking about, I'm such a complete space case.

I'm pregnant with Quintuplets, or 5 babies.
I'm anticipating the day our babies come into this world.
But secretly, I'm terrified.

Ok... I know I said I'd have the next chapter up later this week and all, but I just can't stop playing this family. I have loads of new pictures and I can't wait to post them. Two Chapters in one day? Woohoo! This is a long one, too.



And Then There Were Five...
Chapter 2-The Good Times, The Bad Times





(http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/2153/snapshot92b2e69f92b5993gk2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

This morning was just like all the others. I awoke about an hour before the sun came up and when I rolled over to reach out for Dane, he was already about of bed. I heard noises in the kitchen and I sleepily shuffled to see what he was up to.



(http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9350/snapshot92b2e69f12b5995tt1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

I smiled as I saw Dane already woken up and dressed in the kitchen. He was preparing some breakfast for us, and the smell flooded the house. It was an unseasonabley hot day and he was wearing nothing more than a tank top as he sweat over the hot stove. How sweet of him to make breakfast, I thought.



(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1399/snapshot92b2e69fd2b599djt8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

The omelettes were delicious but we ate in silence. We usually had millions of things to talk about, things going on in our busy lives. But there was something different about Dane this day. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but he wasn't as cheery as usual.



(http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/8085/snapshot92b2e69f92b59a5vv0.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

After breakfast Dane led me into the living room and he told me to sit down. There was a certain look in his eye that told me something was troubling him.

"What's the matter, Boo?" I asked, worried.

"Well, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about, Linds..." His voice quivered, "I... uh... I'm not ready for this. I feel like I'm going to break down any minute. How can we hope to raise five babies at once? I don't know if I can deal with this pressure anymore."



(http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5721/snapshot92b2e69f52b59a7qf5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

I immediatley got off the couch and stood before Dane.

"Wha-what are you saying, Dane?" I was hoping not to hear what I thought he was about to say. But, I guess things don't always go the way we want them to.

"I'm saying that... I'm leaving you. Hun, you know I love you but I just can't deal with the pressure that's building up more and more everyday. I'm not ready for this, I never was and never will be."



(http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1213/snapshot92b2e69f32b59a8zz8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

I couldn't even believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. But, the seriousness in his eyes told me that he was for real. Does this mad man expect me to raise five babies on my own? I thought we were in this together. But, things aren't always as they seem. Dane sure wasn't too good to be true, like I thought.



(http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/7968/snapshot92b2e69fd2b59abra9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

I ran to the bedroom trying not to show how much I hurt. I broke down and cried in a heap on the floor as I felt sorry for myself. At first, I didn't want him to hear my crying but after a few minutes, I didn't care. But, he was gone before I knew it.



(http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/1569/snapshot92b2e69ff2b59d5yp8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

The funny thing is, he didn't even say goodbye.



(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5734/snapshot92b2e69f12b59f4vk1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

The next few weeks were not among some of my proudest moments. I bummed around the house in my pajamas, playing video games, taking long naps, and eating potato chips and left over macaroni and cheese. It was my way of healing from the loss of a husband. I did gain quite a few pounds though, that I have to work off at some point. Definatley not something I'm looking foward to.


(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/6808/snapshot92b2e69ff2b5a03ar9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

One day during my third week of lazying around, while I was in the middle of my favorite afternoon program, it happened. I felt pains and my screams rang through the house.



(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/8357/snapshot92b2e69f12b59aabp1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

There was noone else in the house to help and as I struggled to get to a telephone, the pains got worse. I dialed the number for the local hospital that I had taped to the wall next to the phone, my list of emergency numbers.

The woman at the reception desk answered with a polite "Hello, What can I do for you today?"

The only word I could manage to blert out between my heavy breathing and screams was "BABIES!!!!"

And Then There Were Five
Chapter 3 - My Five Little Joys.





(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/571/snapshot92b2e69f72b5a13ds7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

There wasn't exactly time to get me to a hospital so I had five babies right there in my living room. Also, as I failed to mention where I was, it took the hospital people longer than expected and I was midway through the first birth by the time they got there. Thank god they got there when they did.
First one out was a baby girl, Lily Rose.



(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8723/snapshot92b2e69f32b5a0dvm8.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Then came Charles Liam. Dane's middle name is Charles. As much as I dislike him, I knew that there was some credit owed to him. I'm just happy that I didn't name the baby Dane.



(http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/6458/snapshot92b2e69f32b5a16go4.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Third was Matthew Michael. I've always loved the name Matthew and I vowed when I was younger to name one of my sons that.



(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5613/snapshot92b2e69ff2b5a2bcg9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

The third boy was named Eric Sebastian. I thought the names sounded great together. He was the heaviest at 9 pounds.



(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3310/snapshot92b2e69f12b5a0fzg1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Lastly was Molly Jane, the tiniest of the babies. The doctor's say that she was lucky to have lived through birth at an astonishing 4 and a quarter pounds. They say that they don't have much hope for her. But, I do.



(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7669/snapshot92b2e69fd2b5a2fkq9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Five babies.... Five babies! What in the world is a single mother to do with five babies?! I suppose I could hire a nanny, I really could use the help. But, what kind of nanny would be willing to care for five babies?! Plus, the nannies in this town don't exactly have a good reputation. They're lazy and useless as far as I've heard. They spend more time swimming in your pools, watching tv, and cooking random meals than they do watching the babies. Hopefully, I can find one that's even mildly sane.


I had a children's room built a few weeks ago and I knew exactly what sort of cribs to buy. Two pinks for the girls and three blues for the boys. The doctor helped me clean the babies up and get them fed and then I set each one down for a short nap.



(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5454/snapshot92b2e69f52b5a7adx0.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

As it was their first night in this world, I slept in the nursery. You never know who's going to need you in the middle of the night. I watched my babies as they all fell asleep with a gleam of happiness in my eyes. I knew how much work it would be to care for all of them, but I was proud. Hushing them to sleep, I quickly dozed off on the armchair so I could be there for them during the night. Babies need alot of attention, you know.

And Then There Were Five
Chapter 4 - New Beginnings.




(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4208/snapshot92b2e69f72c8a96gq3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

It wasn't long before my 5 adorable little babies became toddlers. They were all fairly quiet and calm as babies but I knew that things would get harder to manage by myself now that they were older. I took pictures of myself and each child so everyone could see how precious they were.


(http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/9765/snapshot92b2e69f92c8a9fae7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Eric.

Molly.



(http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/6983/snapshot92b2e69ff2c8aafdp1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Lily.

Aren't they all so adorable? Well, as they say, looks can be decieving. It was time to hire a live-in nanny.

(http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/5323/snapshot92b2e69fb2c8abaph6.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

The next morning I looked in the newspaper for people looking for nanny and babysitting jobs. Every number I called, the people didn't want to be responsible for so many toddlers at once. I must have called atleast 10 numbers until I got someone who agreed to help me. His name was Sean Bare and he was to start that afternoon.


(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4127/snapshot92b2e69f92c8ac9hq9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Sean arrived at 4:00 sharp. We talked over the terms and my schedule. He said that he would be happy to help, and that he loves children. My first impression of him was a good one and I was hoping to get to know him better.



(http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/1254/snapshot92b2e69f12c8ad5dr9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

I explained that there was no room anywhere else in the house for his bed besides the babies' room. However, we agreed that it was the best place for him to be since it was his job to watch the children. I bought a small bed and dresser for his things. He seemed content. I didn't think anyone was THAT nice.



(http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1050/snapshot92b2e69fd2c8adblh1.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Once he introduced himself, the kids couldn't get enough of him. They all loved playing with Sean and I could tell that he loved playing with them. He's like a child magnet. This man was born to be a father.

IMPORTANT MESSEGE TO THE READERS


I know this story is just beginning and everything but there was a conflict with my game and I had to uninstall and reinstall. So, Lindsay Ellis and family don't exactly exist anymore. I'm really really sorry to everyone who liked this story, but I'm going to have to discontinue it. I was also beginning to rethink my idea and I have a plan for a tragedy sort of story to come up later. But, you'll see that later on. I'm so sorry everyone, but thank you for all your positive feedback on this story.
