Chapter 2: Learning Names, Then Forgetting Them...

Jacklen said

"Ok, so I will start out with starting from the youngest of my sons, all the way to the oldest."

" I am ready to learn a billion different names!"

Jacklen smiled, and then said

"Ok, the youngest is

-Chad, he is five, then

-Drake, he is 8, then there is

-Quinn and Grant, and they are twins who are eleven, then

-Jack who is fourteen, then

-another set of twins who are Dillan and Eli, and they are fifteen, then

-Colton, and he is eighteen, then there is

-Blake who is nineteen, and last but not least is

-Dallas, and he is twenty-one."

I just sat and stared at her for about a minute trying to process all of the names and ages that she just told me. How in the world am I suppose to remember all of those boys names? One after another, I attempted to try and re-think all the names she just told me, but its almost as if she never even told me anything. She has so many boys, the only name I can remember is the first one...Chad. I looked at her and said

"Um, haha, I don't think I will be able to remember all of those names by the time I meet them."

"Oh, its ok hun, don't worry, once you get settled in, I am sure you will be able to memorize them from their different personalities, and looks."

After she said that, I just said ok, and decided that I wanted to try and take little nap. After all thats happened, I just feel exhasted. I could feel my eyes slowly beginning to drop, and finally, I felt myself slip into a slumbering sleep.

I woke up to someone gently tapping me on my shoulder. I didnt want to wake up, I really didnt, but the continuous tapping would not stop, so I opened my eyes, and saw Jacklen looking at me with a smile plastered on her face, she said

"Cleo, it is time to get up, we have to exit the plane."

I sat up groggily, lookling around at everything around me. Thats when I realized that it was just Jacklen and I left on the plane, everyone had already exited. I stood up, and grabbed the things I had brought on the plane with me. We both stepped off the plane, and then started walking towards the bagage claim area. When we approached it, I spotted my suitcase right away, and quickly grabbed it off of the conveyor belt. Once I got my bag, we headed outside, and waited for the ride Jacklen said was picking us up. All of a sudden, a black convertible Porsche rolled up right in front of us. Jacklen walked right up to it, and smiled at the driver, I heard her mumble a few things, but couldn't quite hear her clearly. The driver hopped out of the drivers side, and stood next to Jacklen, Jacklen said

"Cleo meet Frank, Frank meet Cleo."

"Hello Cleo, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Frank had dark brown hair, with matching dark brown eyes. His face was small, and he had visible laugh lines on his face. He seemed like a very nice guy, so I replied with

"Hi Frank, thank you, it is nice to meet you too."

Jacklen explained to me that Frank was her personal chauffeur, and he was just like family to her. He seemed really sweet, I think I will like him. We entered the Porsche, and Frank grabbed my suitcase and put it into the back trunk. I haveno idea how it even fit back there considering the fact that the trunk is super tiny small! After about five minutes, we were on our way to the Strouds house. I was kind of getting nervous, because I for one was definatly not ready to go and live in a house full of ten crazy boys, but I will not be afraid to speak my mind if one of the brothers bother me. I am not mean, or rude, I just don't like being treated for something I am not.

Finally, after about an hours drive, we pulled up to this huge gate, and Frank typed in this special code and the gates automatically opened to reveal a giant MANSION! No, mansion cannot even describe what this giant three story house was! It was beautiful, it was surrounded by big trees, and giant green hedges. In the center of the drive way was a big water fountain, that we ended up driving around in a circle, and we pulled right up to the front of the house. I was still admiring this beautiful house when the side to my door opened up, so I stepped out, still in awe of how gorgeous this house was. Frank said

" Quite a beauty huh? I remember the first time I saw their house, I looked just like you, in awe."

I shook my head in agreement, then said

"Words cannot describe how beautiful this house is."

Jacklen said I could leave my suitcase in the car for now, because Frank would bring my case in for me. We walked inside, and the first thing I saw was a giant spiraling staircase, It looked like it went all the way up to the third floor. I looked at Jacklen, and said

" Wow, your house is so gorgeous!"

" Aw, thank you baby doll, but this is now your house too. Now, lets go and try to find my boys...they are somewhere around here."

We walked into another large room, that looked to be some kind of game room, filled with all the different kinds of games you could think of. We walked out of the game room, and entered another one, that was the kitchen. Sitting at the counter was a little boy, and when he turned around he said

" Mommy! Your back, I missed you."

Jacklen smiled a heart warming smile, and said

" Aw, hey Buddie, I missed you too, Chad meet our newest family member Cleo."

Chad looked at me, and slowly got off of the stool he was sitting on. He cautiously walked up to me, and when he was right in front of me he poked my stomach and said

"Hey... your a...GIRL!!!!!!"

His eyes bulged out of their sockets, and it looked like he had never seen a girl before. I mean, I cant blame the little guy, he only other girl he has around the house is Jacklen. He then started screaming

"GIRL, GIRL, GIRL!!!" Until his mother had to tell him to calm down. He was really adorable, and cute, I loved him, I think he was just surprised to find out I would be living with him. After he finally calmed down, I said

"Hi, I am Cleo Tatum, it is very nice to meet you."

I held out my hand for him to shake, but instead he grabbed onto my leg and hugged it. He was so FREAKING cute, I just wanted to stuff him like a teddy bear, and cuddle him to death! I loved him. He looked up at me, and said

"Hi Cleo, I am Chad Stroud...your new little brother!"

I laughed at how silly he was, and Jacklen asked him where all of the other boys were, and he responded by saying

"Oh, they are outside playing football and soccer."

So, after Chad told us where all the other boys were, Chad, Jacklen, and I all headed outside.
