The Final Pregnancy Chronicle

“I want at least a half dozen children,” Jessica announced with a wistful sigh as she shoved Mathew off the chair and sat down, ignoring her twin brother’s pained grunt as he hit the floor.

“I want four. Two boys and two girls,” Elizabeth said absently as she glanced at the maternity ward’s waiting room doors only to sigh when no one walked through the double doors to give them an update.

“Two,” Cole said as he dropped down on the floor next to Sebastian, who was too busy reading over Mikey’s shoulder to pay… Read More

Excerpt from Misunderstood and Chapter 10 of the Pregnancy Chronicles

“Definitely a mistake,” Haley said, slowly exhaling as she closed her eyes and tightened her grip on the bathroom counter while she waited for what she was really hoping was just Braxton Hicks to finish.

When the pain finally stopped, she released a shuddering sigh, moved to stand up only to decide against it and continue staring at the bathroom floor. Jason was definitely going to kill her, she thought, reaching up to push her glasses back up her nose as she stood there, debating her options.

She could continue standing there, hunched over while she waited for the next contraction… Read More

That New Car Smell: Part I

“But I don’t need a new car,” Zoe said with a sad shake of her head while Trevor stood there, watching as the tow truck that he’d been forced to call slowly pulled her car up and-

“We can fix that, right?” Zoe asked, sounding hopeful as he stood there, watching the trail of sparks left behind as the engine was slowly dragged across the pavement.

Instead of arguing with his wife because he knew that it was pointless, Trevor reached over and grabbed a child, not really caring who it was, threw the kid over his shoulder and headed towards… Read More

How It All Began….Mikey and Sebastian

Oh, she was going to be in so much trouble, Mikey thought as she stood there, considering her options. She should pick the older one, but…

He probably wouldn’t want to go with them since he seemed to really enjoy tormenting his father. That left the twins, Mikey realized as she glanced back at the bunkbed in the corner, debating which one that she was going to drag with her.

There was Jonathan, she thought as she took in the twin passed out on the bottom bunk. He was funny, loved baseball, and would probably… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part VI

“It’s just that,” his son, who he loved more than anything, said as he shifted to get more comfortable on the bed between them with a heavy sigh, “I think things would have gone differently if I’d chosen the dog instead of the top hat.”

“Why are you here?” Trevor asked as he laid there on his stomach, biting back a groan as his erection that had been enjoying the way his wife had been running her hands over him finally died while the reason that he hadn’t been able to make love to his wife for the past five… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part V

“That’s a lot of salt,” came the softly spoken words that had Kasey wondering how much more of this she could take.

“It’s not salt. It’s sugar,” she calmly explained even as she threw the closed kitchen door a panicked look, wondering when Reese was going to save her.

They’d worked out a deal, one that benefited both of them so that they didn’t lose their damn minds. They were supposed to take turns spending time with Mikey, otherwise…

Oh, god…

She couldn’t do this, Kasey thought, licking her lips nervously as she stared at the kitchen door, praying that her husband was… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020: Part III

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Mikey said before he got a chance to say anything.

“It wasn’t that bad,” Sebastian said even though he had to admit that it had actually been pretty terrifying.

It probably wouldn’t have been that bad if she hadn’t made any sudden moves. Not that he could blame her, because he really couldn’t, not when his siblings had ignored the screams for mercy and moved in for the kill. Then again, if she’d just given up her hold on the bowl, none of this would have ever happened.

“I think it would be for the… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part II

“Oh, this is bad,” Trevor said as he stood there, rubbing the back of his neck as he watched the reason that his cousin was going to kill him somehow manage to make it the rest of the way up onto his roof.

“Mikey, sweetheart,” Zoe said, trying not to panic as she looked around for something to make this right while Trevor stood there, biting back a curse because he’d left his fucking ladder at the house that he was flipping on Oak Street. “Why don’t you come down here so that we can talk?”

“Social distancing! Social distancing!” the… Read More

The Great Lockdown of 2020: Part I

“Do you really think that’s going to stop us?” Jonathan asked with a pitying shake of his head as Trevor finished securing the lock on the pantry door.

“No, but this should,” Zoe said as she slapped the list of rules that he’d told her wouldn’t work on the pantry door.

“What is that?” Mathew asked as he grabbed hold of his twin sister’s hand and dragged her closer only to sigh when Jonathan picked him up and set him aside so that he could read the… Read More

New York Trip: Part IV

“We are no longer speaking, sir!” Mikey said with one last glare aimed at her grandfather, the man that should be doing everything within his power to spoil her, as she rolled over onto her side, struggled not to vomit from the small movement, and pointedly ignored him.

For several minutes, she simply laid there, seething with righteous anger, knowing that she was minutes, nay, seconds away from her grandfather giving in and allowing her to go to the convention so that she could-

“He’s gone,” Sebastian said, making her… Read More
