Introduction
Lily Nells searched her purse to find the key to unlock the new house. "I know I put it in here...." muttered a frustrated Lily. "Aha!" Lily pulled out a silver key. She closed her eyes, remembering her fathers' last words......

"Lily, we have decided, and you will inherit this house when you are old enough." Her father had said. "But dad, what about Lexi and Bobby?" Lily had cried. "No." said her father "The house will be yours..." With that, Lily's father sighed deeply and his eyes closed. "Dad!" cried Lily. She watched her fathers' spirit wave at her sister, brother, mother, and her. Lily then joined her family to mourn her father.

Lily shivered. She didn't like thinking about that night. She gripped the key tightly and put it in the lock, turning it to reveal what was her past and future......

Chapter 1.
Lily walked around the house, unpacking boxes and putting them in the correct place. She noticed the house felt very alone. She sighed, remembering how full the house had been when she was a kid.

Suddenly, Lily heard, 'You've got mail!' She groaned. "Please not a bill!" Lily said aloud. She walked over to the two computers. She sat in one, and went to her e-mail. To her surprise, a marriage proposal popped up! "Crisco Len...... from high school!" Lily exclaimed. "I haven't seen him in years!" she immediately pressed Accept. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang. She opened it. "Crisco! I haven't seen you in so long!" cried Lily, hugging him. "I thought you forgot me!" Crisco's eyes shined. "I could never forget you, Lily." Lily smiled. With that, Lily Nells became Lily Len.

Chapter 2.
Lily walked over to Crisco. "Hey Crisco." she said. Crisco looked at her. "Hey Lily, what's up?" Lily bit her tongue. "Well, I've been thinking, and I think the house is kinda alone with just you and me, and I kinda want to have kids." Crisco smiled. "Really?" Lily nodded. "Ok, then. Let's try for one." Lily smiled. They went into the bedroom, and 5 minutes later came out with a little baby boy.

Lily was starting dinner, trying to go as fast as she could. "Paul! Stop doing that!" scolded Lily, seeing her son banging the dishes. "Sorry, mommy." said Paul, running into the bedroom, to play with his toys. Lily sighed. She set dishes up on the kitchen table, then food. "Dinner's ready! Crisco, Paul, come on!" Lily called, then sat at the table. Paul darted in, then sat next to his mother. Then came Crisco, sitting next to Paul. Then they all started to eat.

Later that night, when the family sat to watch TV, Paul yawned loudly. Lily blinked. 10 minutes later, Lily looked at Paul. He was fast asleep! Lily laughed. Crisco got up an picked up Paul. "Okay, kiddo. Time for bed." Paul woke up slightly. "But I'm not.... tired." he immediately fell back asleep. While Crisco took Paul to bed, she turned her gaze to the TV. She yawned. Lily then decided to go to bed. She got up, turned off the TV, and walked into the bedroom and fell asleep.

Chapter 3.
Lily blinked open her eyes. She sat up and looked at her alarm clock. "7:30......" muttered Lily, getting up, beng careful of the little girl in her arms. She went into her children's room. "Paul?" she asked quietly. "What, Mommy?" yawned Paul. "Want to come help me make breakfast? It's fried eggs." Paul jumped out of bed. "Oh, goody!" he said.

Lily and Paul went out into the kitchen, and Paul opened the refrigerator. With help from Lily, Paul managed to get the stuff needed. While the eggs were frying, Crisco came in, with dirty hands and feet.

"Crisco? Were you weeding?" asked Lily. "Yes, Lily. We needed to. The yard looked bad. Is that fried eggs I'm smelling?" Paul ran at his father. "Ya, daddy! And I helped make them!" he said proudly. Crisco looked at him. "Then they must be good!" he smiled. 'Ding'. The timer for the eggs went off. "Time for breakfast!" cried Paul, and got dishes to put on the table. Then the family sat down and had breakfast.

Chapter 4.
Lily sat, watching her two children play in the sandbox. "Ruby! Your doing it wrong!" insisted Paul. "No, I'm not! You are!" said Ruby. They were arguing about building a sandcastle, and Ruby was trying to put a big sand cat in front of the castle. While her children bickered, Lily went inside, and started to make Ruby and Paul's beds, and Crisco and hers. After that she did the laundry. Then the weeding. Then the lunch. It seemed she did everything!

Lily was trying to put her children to bed. "But It's only 8:30!" whined Paul. "Way to early!" added Ruby. "You'll go to bed when I tell you." said Lily. "Now, off with you!" as she watched her children scurry away, Lily went to send a message to the guiding hand, Sydney.

'Dear Sydney,
We could do with some food. Can you help us out? Boy it seems like I do a lot. Oh well. See you through the screen!
Your friend,
Lily Len.'
