Life has been pretty humdrum for me, Violet Adelaide Smith, lately. After a messy breakup, I find myself in a bit of a slump. My job is boring me, and I don't have the energy to go out with friends. One day, my best friend, Olivia Dianne Jones, approaches me and suggests I take a well-deserved vacation. After brooding it over, I agree, and buy a plane ticket to Tokyo, Japan.

I am immediately relieved. Japan is beautiful, and I have a blast unwinding. An old elderly couple owns the hotel I am staying at, and Iquickly befriend them. They introduce me to their grandson, Hayato Shinobu Itou, who helps them out around the hotel. Smitten, I begin talking to him more and more, and discover he is kind, smart, and funny... in addition to handsome!

Hayato offers to give me a tour of the city and I happily agree. After a few weeks of getting to know each other, I discover I have fallen in love with him. While taking a walk one evening, conflicted about what to do, I stumble upon Hayato, who proposes to me! I accept, and the two of us get married in the garden of the hotel you met at. After honeymooning in Greece, we decide to settle down in the country we met in, where Hayato is from in Kyoto.

I get a new job as an English Teacher and love it. Hayato gets a job as a hotel manager, to the pride of his grandparents. Elated with my new life, Hayato and I often discuss when we will have children. Hayato says he wants a large family, as an only child also wanted to have one which works out very well.

Two years after Hayato and I get married, we fall pregnant with our first child. Hayato's grandparents couldn't be more elated to know they're going to be here for the birth of their first great-grandchild. I call Olivia, as she is the only close sort-of-family, back home and she comes down for the last month of my pregnancy and the first two weeks after to stay with us and throw me a baby shower. However, it wasn't all sunshine and roses. Hayato and I disagreed a lot about naming the baby. He wanted to use names which were japanese and I had a desire to use names with a more english or french origin. However, Hayato makes a good point of how the children could be made fun of for having too different of names and I give in, on the note he let me choose the names no muss no fuss and couldn't complain no matter how silly he thought they might be. Not long after that argument ended, we welcomed our son, and first beloved child, into the world. We named him Takahiro Kitsune Itou. He is perfect and Hayato and I couldn't be more excited to be parents.

Another two years pass our little family by and things have been going well. I've been premoted as the head of the school's English Program and Hayato has also been promoted and even recieved a raise since then, with things going so well Hayato and I decide to plan our second child. After a few months of trying, we get pregnant and our thrilled. I know no matter what that the baby will be named after Hayato's grandfather, Natsu Kenta Watanabe. Who passed away earlier in the year. What Hayato and I hadn't been expecting was to have twins, but we were extreamly excited. We found out we were having faternal boy/girl twins not long after. Not much else happened. Olivia came down to stay with us again to help out with the babies, and happened to hit it off very well with Hayato's close friend Ryouichi Yamato Satou. Not long after thw twins come a half a month earlier then expected but, are thankfully healthy nonetheless. Hayato and I named them Natsumi Murasaki Itou and Kenta Ichigo Itou. They're just as perfect as Takahiro was when he was born and although they're hard work, we love our twins.

Four years go by and Hayato and I are content with our family of three adorable children. However, it would seem we were wrong on that idea. A month before Takahiro's sixith birthday, a pregnancy test comes out positive. Hayato and I are surprised but, we are still happy to have another child and we both know we can afford to have another child. Since, Natsumi and Kenta's birth Oivia has moved to Kyoto and gotten married to Ryouichi. Since then she has had a daughter, Asuka Mizuki Satou. Asuka is a year younger than Kenta and Natsumi and is good friends with them both. So, when Olivia came over with Asuka that weekened for playdate I couldn't wait to tell her about expecting another baby. It would seem she had news for me as well as we both shared news of a pregancy and were delighted to be going through our pregnancies together. For some reason I truly thought I would be having another girl and picked out a perfect name, I was honestly surprised when the scan showed a boy but, I decided I wanted to keep the name I had chosen even if it was on the more femmine side.

A week before I had my baby boy, Olivia gave birth to one of her own. She named her son Riku Tatsuya Satou. He is one of the cutest baby's I have ever seen and I know him and my son will be the best of friends growing up. Then, later that week I went through an easy labor with my baby boy, who was the smallest of all of my babies but, still healthy. I named him Misaki Usagi Itou, much to the chargin of others around me. I knew my sweet boy fit the name perfectly. After giving birth to to Misaki, Hayato and I agree that we have the perfect family!

Life has been pretty humdrum for me, Megan Rebecca, lately. After a messy breakup, I find myself in a bit of a slump. My job is boring me, and I don't have the energy to go out with friends. One day, my best friend approaches me and suggests I take a well-deserved vacation. After brooding it over, I agree, and buy a plane ticket to Tokyo, Japan.

I'm immediately relieved. Japan is beautiful, and I have a blast unwinding. An old elderly couple owns the hotel I am staying at, and I quickly befriend them. They introduce me to their grandson, Hikaru Akira Itou, who helps them out around the hotel. Smitten, I begin talking to him more and more, and discover he is kind, smart, and funny...in addition to handsome!

Hikaru offers to give me a tour of the city and I happily agree. After a few weeks of getting to know each other, I discover I have fallen in love with him. While taking a walk one evening, conflicted about what to do, I stumble upon Hikaru, who proposes to me! I accept, and the two of us are married in the garden of the hotel we met at. After honeymooning in Greece, we decide to settle down in Hiroshima.

I get a new job as a Criminal Profiler and love it. Hikaru gets a job as a hotel manager, to the pride of his grandparents. Elated with my new life, me and my husband often discuss when we will have children. Hikaru says he wants a large family.

3 months later, after just settling down in our new home, I get a call from my doctor, telling me to come in for my pregnancy check-up, as I found out I was pregnant two months ago. Hikaru was at work and didn't know I was seeing my doctor. I told my doctor that me and my husband had just bought a house and we were eager to paint the nursery. During the sonogram, I was elated to know I was having a baby boy. Later that evening, I surprised my husband on the gender. He was super excited about his new son. After twirling me around in his arms, we made love for the rest of the night.

6 months later, I gave birth to a handsome baby boy we named Tatsuya Hachigatsu (meaning August, since that's the month he was born in). I will be calling him Hachi, after the movie. And I just think that is an adorable name. Me and my husband loved having a little man in our house, but it doesn't mean we weren't busy, because, believe me, we were!! Even though we weren't trying to conceive at the moment....

8 months later, I found out I was pregnant again! This time me and my husband were in the doctor's office. Hachi was with Clara, my friend from America, who recommended me to take a vacation. She moved here and was excited when we asked her if she could be Hachi's babysitter.

We were excited when we heard Hachi was going to be having a baby sister.

About 4 and a half months later, I woke up with a sharp pain in my stomach. I could feel her moving inside me. I was moaning because of the pain, and my husband woke up, trying to calm me down. A few seconds later I had what felt like a balloon bursting inside me. I knew what was coming...this happened before. Moments later, water was trickling down my legs. Not to my surprise, I was going into labor, and a fast one at that!! I knew I wasn't going to make it to the hospital, so I had Hikaru call my doctor, and he came rushing over preparing for my home birth. I was scared as my daughter was coming a month and a half early. Hikaru told me not to worry, as he said he was pre-mature also. I still couldn't help worrying though.

After a lot of pushing, she finally joined our world. Even though she only weighed a little over 5 lbs, my doctor told us to not worry, because she is as healthy as can be. We named our baby girl Maya Ookami (meaning Wolf). Hikaru told me Maya was a favorite name of his, and he picked that middle name for her because wolves are feisty, and he thinks Maya will be as feisty as me.

Me and Hikaru were so happy that we had a son and a daughter. We both want a big family, so we started trying again right away.

Not 4 months later I found myself back in the doctor's office again. The doctor was laughing at us because of such a short gap between our kids, but understood when we told him our reasoning. We were having another son, and we couldn't be more excited.

4 months later I found myself with very strong and sharp labor pains. My husband rushed me to the hospital, and my doctor came rushing in and shortly after, told us some shocking news. "You have to stop with the short gaps. You can't keep getting pregnant in such a short amount of time. Your body is not taking it very well. I am fearing for your son." Me and my husband were shocked and upset. We were afraid of losing our little boy. Clara came in with the kids not too long after, and they stayed by our side until a few doctors came in and told me I was ready.

This was my longest birth ever, not shockingly, considering I was two months early. But again our baby pulled through. He weighed a shockingly 6 and a half lbs, and he was perfectly healthy! Looks like I had surprised my doctor again. Hikaru decided on the name Ren Kuma (meaning Bear). I thought it was a perfect name that fitted our little boy, considering the situation. Bears are tough, and so was he!

Me and Hikaru took my doctor's advice, and decided to take a break for a little while. He prescribed me birth control because apparently me and my husband couldn't seem to stay apart for long.

It wasn't a huge gap but about a year later, I was pregnant again. My doctor wasn't pleased to say the least, but he was glad that it wasn't 3 months later, like last time! Since he was used to it, my doctor was just about to tell us the sex of our child, but we decided we wanted to wait and find out for ourselves this time. A little concerned, my doctor just shrugged it off.

The last 6 months were great, and I found out this was the best pregnancy I have had so far. When I found myself in the hospital bed again, I was due when I was supposed to be. This birth was a little longer then the others, but at least it was under normal circumstances, and neither me, my husband, or my doctor were worried. And I didn't have any pain. I gave birth to another handsome baby boy (who looked just like his daddy!), and we named him Ryouta Kinyoubi (meaning Friday, because he was born on a Friday, and that was our favorite day of the week). He weighed the most, coming out at a little over 8 lbs.

Now having 4 children in the house, me and Hikaru decided that we seriously needed a break. I had my job, and he his, so we decided we wait a while longer.

My doctor was pleased that this was such a big gap. Bigger than all the other ones combined! It was about 2 years later that I found myself pregnant again. Figuring that we had so many kids, we really couldn't afford not knowing what the gender was at this point. I was surprised when I found out I was having another boy, but was elated, anyway.

This was my most stressful pregnancy of all. Hachi was only 6 but he had found a way to get on me and Hikaru's last nerves!! He was only in 1st grade and was already hitting, cussing, and threatening other kids! Our new son was due in September, and already Hachi was becoming a problem, within the first two weeks of school! We don't know what had gotten into him, but this was making my pregnancy worse on me. Hikaru took Hachi to his school counselor, while I was cleaning around the house. Of course, when my husband wasn't there, my water broke. I ended up having to call Hikaru who practically carried Hachi out of the school, because he wouldn't leave.

When I got to the hospital, the nurse told me that it wasn't good news. I was now in distress and my son had managed to twist his way around my uterus, so now he was facing the opposite direction. This caused way more pain for me, and the doctors had to do an emergency C-Section.

My new son came out at 7 lbs. He was due almost on time. At least he was only a week early. We named him Kaito Aki (meaning Fall, since he was born in September). Kaito was not doing very well. He had to stay in the hospital for two weeks because he was having breathing problems.

Me and my husband have just been stressed out so much, so we've been in bed a lot. I wasn't surprised to find out only half a year later, I was pregnant again. Me and Hikaru were excited to find out it was a baby girl. She was due that upcoming September, and we had to get Hachi straightened out before then. We decided that our baby girl would be our last child, because we thought 6 was a perfect number.

This turned out to be a normal pregnancy, to say the least. Luckily enough, we got Hachi back on his two feet within a month of finding out the gender of our child. It turns out Hachi was not being paid enough attention to, which then me and my husband were guilty about. But we made sure that from now on, our children would be receiving the utmost attention.

In September, 5 months later, our beautiful baby girl was born. She was perfectly healthy, and we named her Sakura Kitsune (meaning Fox). We thought the name was perfect for our little girl.

It has now been 5 years since the birth of Sakura, and our children are now 12, 10 (almost 11), 10, 8, 6, and 5. I am so blessed to have my family. I love them more than anything.

Life has been pretty humdrum for me, Leah Margaret Danwell, lately. After a messy breakup, I find myself in a bit of a slump. My job is boring and I don't have the energy to go out with friends. One day, my best friend, Annie Roland, approaches me and suggests I take a well-deserved vacation. After brooding it over, I agree, and buy a plane ticket to Berlin, Germany.

I am immediately relieved. Germany is beautiful, and I enjoy my relaxation so much. An old elderly couple owns the hotel I am staying at, and I quickly befriend them. They introduce me to their 24 year-old grandson, Hugo Maximilian Kohler, who helps them out around the hotel. I am instantly attracted to Hugo and begin talking to him more and more. I discover he is kind, smart, and funny... in addition to being incredibly handsome!

Hugo offers to give me a tour of the city and I happily agree. After a few weeks of getting to know Hugo, I discover I have fallen in love with him. While taking a walk one evening, conflicted about what I should do, I stumble upon Hugo, who proposes to me! I accept, and we are married six months later in the garden of the hotel we met at. After honeymooning in Bora Bora we decide to settle down in Hamburg, Germany.

I get a new job as Nurse and love it. Hugo gets a job as a hotel manager, to the pride of his grandparents. Elated with my new life, Hugo and I often discuss when we will have children. Hugo says he wants a large family. We end up having six children that we adore!

After three years of being newlyweds we seriously start trying for a family. Not long after I am holding a positive pregnancy test in my hand while Hugo watches over my shoulder. My mom and dad both fly out to Hamburg during the last two weeks of my pregnancy and are there in the waiting room when Benjamin Heinrich Kohler is born. Also there is my best friend Annie who visits me frequently from her new life in Paris.

When Ben is a year and a half years old, amidst all the chaos of Hugo and I moving into a new house I realize that I am a week late. Even though Hugo and I want a big family we are not quite ready for a new baby yet. But within a couple of hours of our realization, we start to warm up to the idea of a sibling for Ben. We are pretty excited when the doctor gives us the news that we are expecting twins!!

Anja Rosemarie and Sophia Brigitte Kohler are born in late November and their first plane ride is to Grandma and Grandpa's in Canada for Christmas. Also back home for Christmas is Annie who is with her french fiance, Olivier Varane, so that the Rolands can meet their future son-in-law. We have a wonderful time visiting with family and old friends and introducing them to our three beautiful children.

Two months later Annie lets me in on a big secret: she and Olivier are expecting a New Years Day celebration baby! I am so excited for them. Her baby girl is born in September and they name her Elodie Lea Varane. In December they are married and it is during that weekend that Hugo and I conceive our fourth baby.

Lukas Raphael Kohler, born after only an hour of labour, is excitedly welcomed by our little family. Only a month later, Hugo receives a job offer in Versailles where he will be managing his own vacation resort. We immediately accept the offer as it will also mean being closer to Annie, Olivier and Elodie who are now expecting their second baby.

While Annie and Olivier have two more children, Hugo and I perfectly content with our wonderfully happy four kids. It is the family we had always dreamed of. But when Annie and Olivier decide they want one more baby, I bring up the topic with Hugo. He and I suddenly both know we want one more baby. Six weeks later, Annie is telling me the news that she is pregnant, and that is the day that Hugo and I start trying to conceive. It doesn`t take long, and soon we are pregnant with another set of twins.

At seven months I am ordered on bed rest due to complications with my pregnancy. Less than four weeks later I go into labour and undergo an emergency c-section. Although the babies are small and weak, both our little boy and girl pull through. Sebastian Isaak and Katrin Emilie Kohler are wonderful and are adored by our whole family. Especially excited is Annie, who only three weeks earlier gave birth to a baby girl named Juliette Lucie Varane.

After the birth of Seb and Kate, Hugo and I decide we are very much done with having more children and are really content with our lives.
