My name is Isabelle Carter. My twin brother Isaac and I have 16 siblings. Yes you heard correctly with two sets of twins and a set of quads amongst us there is 18 children. We can push our Dad's limits sometimes, but, what other family is perfect.

I'm 15 years old and number 8 by 10 minutes. Hamish is the oldest at 24, then there's Lane at 22, then Liam at 21. The first girl Emma at 19, Charlotte who everyone calls Charlie is 17, then Owen is 16, then the first set of twins Isaac and Myself who are 15, Scarlett at 14, Claire is 13, Isaiah is 12, the second set of twins William and Brooklyn are 8. Faith, Mason, Oliver and Thomas-Jackson (Everyone shortens it to TJ) are 5 and they are the Quads. Lastly at 3 is Layla.

our mother was murdered last year at work. our Father has taken us under his wing after the 'incident'. With the help of Hamish, Lane, Liam and Emma we all got through the grief and reality of our mother's passing. Everyone has gotten over it except me. my bond with my parents was tight. we moved into a mansion just before mum was killed. Now everyone is living like nothing happened.

Chapter 2: School Mishap

"Guys hurry up. You'll be late for school soon." Dad yelled over the speakers. I put one boots as I got up and grabbed my brown leather bag and ran down the two sets of stairs to the kitchen. I saw William, Brooklyn, Layla and the quads sitting at the table eating their breakfast. I kissed Layla's forehead before sitting next to Faith and Brooklyn and grabbed a bowl with some cereal.

As I ate the breakfast the older guys came in, Owen was last. Everyone quickly ate their breakfast as I went outside and helped dad put the little ones into his car. Emma, Charlie, Owen, Isaac, Scarlett, Claire and Isaiah came out. Isaac, Scarlett and I went into Emma's car and Owen, Claire and Isaiah went into Charlie's car. 
"Where's Liam?" I asked, he is usually with Emma to go to university.
"He went with Lane" Emma said pulling out of the driveway.

As we hopped out, at the high school, Emma sped off to the University half an hour away. 
"Why are you guys so quiet?" Scarlett asked as she walked beside us. 
"There's nothing to talk about yet." Isaac and I answered.
"Stop doing that" Scarlett exaggerated 
"Stop what?" Isaac and I asked together again. 
"Talking at the same time. It creepy, especially when the quads do it." She explained. I laughed and gave her a sideways hug and kissed her forehead before Isaac and I went to our lockers.

The day seemed to go by quickly. We are in the car park waiting for Emma or Lane to pick us up. 
"Do you want me to come back and pick you two up? I have a spare seat in the back for Scarlett . You guys will just have to wait 15-20 minutes max." Charlie offered. I bit my lip.
"Sure, 20 minutes shouldn't hurt" Isaac spoke up for us.
"I'll try calling Emma again." I took my phone out and dialed Emma's number.
"Hello" a male's voice answered.

Chapter 3: What is happening?

"Hello?" A male's voice answered
"Dad?" I almost yelled into the receiver. "Where's Emma? Aren't you mention to be at work today?" I asked him starting to worry. 
"Yeah, about that. Em is in the hospital and her phone is with me as I'm at the crime scene." He responded.
"What?" I cried. "What happened?"
"It looks like a head-on collision. Em going to be fine. Aunty Lucy is with her. Everything is going to be alright." He reassured 
"What about the little ones?" I asked realising Em's ment to be picking them up. 
"Hamish has them. Lane and Liam are caught up at work. You and Charlie are in charge until I get back okay. Love you" he hung up and I ran into Isaac's arms.

"Em's in the Hospital" I told him as i started crying. How did this happen?

 

When we got home Layla ran up to me. 

"Hamish is here. Hamish is here" she jumped around. 

"i know Layla, Daddy told me." I smiled at her excitement. She dragged me into the living room where the rest of the little ones were scattered around the TV with Hamish. 

"Hey Hamish" Isaac and i greeted him.

"Hey Tweridoes" Hamish chuckled.

"Have you heard anything" I asked him. He gave me a look.

"Littlies stay here" He said getting up and signalling for the older ones to follow him into the kitchen. 

"Where's Lane and Liam?" i asked looking around.

"They're going to the Hospital after Lane finishes work" Hamish answered.

"What happened?" Owen asked, he wasn't around when we found out.

"Emma was involved in a car accident. Dad said the other driver was a victim of homicide and poor Emma was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Aunty Lucy is with her now, they are hoping she will be able to come home tomorrow, the doctor said Emma was able to get in a position to save herself form the impact." Hamish explained.

"what about Dad? is he going to have a late night again?" I asked.

"It depends on if they get a lead or not." Charlie Spoke. i hugged her, Emma and Charlie are Best friends, this news must be killing her inside.

"Hazel and Riley are coming tomorrow"Hamish announced. Hazel is his wife and Riley is his 3 month old daughter.

"Yay" Scarlett and Claire said at the good news

"BELLE" I heard Layla scream as she ran into the kitchen.

"Yes Layla" I said picking her up.

"Mason and Oliver being mean." She dug her face into my neck. I walked into the living room. Faith and TJ were on the couch reading a book, Mason and Oliver were on the floor watching TV.

"Where's Will and Brooke?" I asked looking around the room.

"They went upstairs" Layla Informed me.

"Quads, do you have homework to do?" I asked them.

"Yes, TJ and I finished it last night with Owen. Mason and Oliver have to do two more pages." Faith told me.

"Ok boys, go ask Owen for help if you need it." I told them before heading upstairs to find the twins. I walked into Will's room to find clothes and shoes everywhere.

"WILLIAM" I screamed as I saw the mess. A pile of clothes moved and his head pops out.

"Yes Is-a-belle." He giggled, I put Layla down.

"What is all this mess?" I asked him.

"Clothes and Shoes" He giggled again, he must think this is hilarious.

"Clean it up right now or dad is going to get angry." I warned him. He stopped laughing and got to work. I grabbed Layla's hand as we went nest door to Brooke's room. I walked in to see Brooke in her bed and the curtains closed.

"Hey Brooke, Are you ok?" I asked quietly

"Belle i feel sick" she whispered. i kneel down to Layla.

"Layla can you go get Hamish please?" I asked her.

"Ok" She ran downstairs. i went over to the cupboard in the hallway and got a bucket and a face cloth. i went into the bathroom and dampened the cloth before going into Brooke's room again. I went over to the bed and put the cloth on her forehead.

"Belle i think i'm going to be sick" Brooke sat up and i gave her the bucket. There was a knock on the door i got up and opened it expecting to see Hamish. 

"Belle i feel sick" i saw Will's hands go to his tummy. i picked him up and ran into the bathroom and put the toilet seat up and he started vomiting into the toilet. I went into the hallway and ran over to the phone/speaker and put it onto speaker mode.

"Hamish or someone please come to the little twins rooms immediately Thank-you" I announced before getting another face cloth out of the cupboard and going into the bathroom and dampening it before putting it on Will's forehead. 

"Belle what's up?" I heard Hamish and Isaac's Voices.

"The twins are sick" I looked at Will then nodded towards Brooke's Room. "Brooke was sick first. i told Layla to get you, then Will knocked on the door saying he felt sick. 10 minutes ago he was giggling and now he's vomiting. So i don't know, can one of you stay with Will? I have to check on Brooke." I stood up and walked over to Brooke's room. She was asleep i walked over to her, her face was red and swollen i grabbed her bucket and went into the bathroom to wash it out.

"Hamish, quick question"

"Yeah"

"Did you eat peanuts while you picked up the twins?"

"oh, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, I did."

"You Idiot that's why they suddenly went downhill" i went to Will, he had welts and a swollen face as well.

"Isaac can you please watch Brooke while i go and get antihistamines." I ran out of the room and down the stairs. I grabbed two doses of antihistamines and two cups of water before going upstairs.

 

I went to Brooke first and gave her the medicine. i walked into the bathroom and gave Will his medicine. I picked him up and carried him to bed. i turned the camera in his room on and closed the curtains. i softly closed the door behind me. i went and turned the camera on in Brooke's room too. I went into the footage room and grabbed a tablet to keep an eye on them. they are out to it. As i passed the living room i heard the theme song for Paw Patrol playing. i smiledmas i saw Layla dancing in front of the TV. I walked into the kitchen and saw two of the Quads with Owen at the table.

"You should become a Pre-School teacher." I ruffled Mason's Hair looking at Owen. He stuck his tongue out at me playfully. i went outside and found Scarlett, Claire, Isaiah, Faith and TJ Squirting each other with water-guns. i saw 5 towels on the chair beside me. they all ran into the pool. Everyone is safe. i went back inside and walked upstairs tablet in hand. i walked into my room and put the tablet onto my desk as i started my homework.

"GIVE IT BACK Belle" Liam stormed through the door. 

"Nice to see you too, what are you talking about?" I looked up from my homework.

"My phone i haven't had it all day. Where is it?" He asked going over to my drawers.

"I can ring it for you if you want?" I took out my phone and dialed his number.

"Hello Lane speaking." he answered

"Where are you?" I asked him

"IN my car Outside. Why?" He asked.

"Liam's accusing me of stealing his phone again" i told him. i hung up and faced Liam. 

"You left it in Lane's Car. Lane answered it" i smirked as he ran out of my room. i look at the tablet before going back to my homework. i put the volume on. After a hour and a half of homework i'm Done. i grabbed the tablet and went to Brooke's room. i snuck in and walked over to the lump in the bed. her face has gone down, i kissed her forehead before leaving her to sleep. i crept into Will's room and checked on him the swelling is gone and the welts were fading. i kissed his forehead before going downstairs. the smell of chicken hit me, I breathed it in as i walked into the kitchen. Charlie was at the stove stirring a big pot. i hugged her from behind.

"Thank-you for cooking for me" I said into her back.

"No problem, Isaac told me about Twins W and B"

"Did he tell you who created this mess in the first place?" I Jumped onto the bench beside her.

"Hamish" She went and got plates and bowls and i got the cutlery and cups, i also got jugs of water. when we were done setting the table, i went over to the speakers.

"Dinner is Ready" i spoke into the receiver . i took a seat and enjoyed the butter chicken Charlie made. After helping wash up, i went upstairs to my room. I walked over to my drawer and grabbed some PJ's before walking into the bathroom that connects my room to Isaacs'. i locked the doors and turned the water on before getting undressed and hopping into the shower. i quickly got dressed and unlocked Isaac's door before going to mine and making my way to the warmth of my bed. i grabbed the tablet and checked on Will and Brooke before going into my deep slumber.

"I'm Coming for you" He said in the shadows.
