Chapter 6: Bundles of Joy

Kagura's pregnancy had gone very well. She finally gave birth to three healthy children: two girls named Hitomi and Hinako and baby boy, Makoto. Even with 5 children already running ramped through the house, Kagura and Chin-Han still wanted more, so they adopted a little boy named Yuta. 6 children were definitely a handful, so Kagura quit her job to be a stay-at-home mother. Chin-Han reached retirement and stayed home with the kids as well. Kagura and Chin-Han believed that school was important and that the children should understand the importance as well. Kagura decided to read beside the children as they tried to complete their homework. This encouraged Yuta, Azula, and Asami to do well in school. As expected, they were all on honor roll and received high achievements in elementary school.
Even with Yuta, Azula, and Asami going off to school everyday, the parents found it very hard to manage their time with the triplets always crying. Immediately Chin-Han shamelessly called for a babysitter. The babysitter came by almost everyday and soon became the nanny. Time flew by and Azula, Asami, and Yuta were all teenagers while their younger siblings Hitomi, Hinako, and Makoto grew into young children. The nanny was no longer needed and Chin-Han was happy to no longer pay for her mediocre services. With all of the children old enough to attend school, Kagura and Chin-Han finally had some time to themselves. They worked together trying to finish errands and chores around the house. Kagura went out to town to collect revenue from the town and Chin-Han stayed home to water the garden. Even with so much time on their hands to complete many of the things they couldn't do before, Kagura and Chin-Han were still very stressed. The two decided they deserved a two day vacation away from the kids and the house, so they packed their bags and left for a romantic getaway. While their parents were away, the teens threw themselves a wild party. Asami called their cousins and their friends to have the party of a lifetime. With prom right around the corner, Yuta thought it was a good time to get to know Magdalena Lawson better. The two spent much of the night together alone, ignoring the rest of the party. After some time, Yuta worked up the nerve to ask Magdalena to the prom. She immediately said yes and the two began to coordinate their night. With all of their plans for prom completed, Yuta gave Magdalena flowers and invited her to the family garden to watch the stars

together. Even when all the other guests had gone home, Magdalena stayed behind for a few hours longer to spend more time with Yuta. Unfortunately, their romantic night had to come to an end since Kagura and Chin-Han were on the way home from their vacation. Seeing their house in shambles, Yuta and Azula were instantly grounded. Asami barely escaped the wrath of her parents since she was clever enough to avoid their path. Yuta and Azula were stuck doing chores around the house to make up for their mistakes. With prom only a few days away, the two tried their very best to get on Kagura's and Chin-Han's good side. When prom was only one day away, Yuta and Azula resorted to begging for forgiveness. Feeling that they had learned their lesson, Kagura and Chin-Han lifted their punishments. Prom night arrived and all three teens were ready to go. Yuta was all dressed up in his tuxedo and Azula and Asami decided to wear the same dress with different colors. The limo arrived and they were off to have a grand time. Azula knocked down the backdrop while chasing down her crush for a dance. Despite her clumsiness, Azula was crowned prom queen. Yuta and his date, Magdalena, were enjoying their slow dance when they kissed for the first time. Having mutual feelings for one another, the two love birds chose to make it official. Yuta had his first girlfriend and was in love for the first time, but in the midst of bliss, Yuta's name was called to receive his crown as prom king. He was very surprised but was very happy to be the prom king with his sister as prom queen. As her siblings were basking in the glow of popularity, Asami was off flirting with one of her classmates, Kathryn Dietz. Asami and Kathryn were virtually stuck together the entire night. Something began to spark between the two and they became romantic interests. Prom night was over and it was time to return home. The three all had an amazing night to remember and especially Yuta loved his prom picture. He proudly placed the picture on his dresser. Time went on and the parents were

stressed again. Feeling that their children had learned their lesson before, Kagura and Chin-Han felt it was safe for them to take another two day vacation. Knowing better, the teens helped around the house by looking after the garden and their younger siblings. Hitomi, Hinako, and Makoto were very obedient and always completed their homework. Having lots of free time, the children spent much time in the new treehouse in the backyard. It was apparent though that some of

the children were having too much fun. Hitomi called Asami over to the treehouse only to dump a bucket of water on her sister's head when she arrived. Naturally, Asami was not too happy about that. Despite the children's mischief, the teens still enjoyed their parent-free home. Yuta went out on a date with Magdalena and Asami invited over Kathryn to spend more time with her. Both couples let their love blossom and it was only a matter of time before their significant others had to meet the parents.

Chapter 5: Surprises

At first, Kyo and Megan kept their relationship a secret but later believed they should not hide their love because of their parents' misfortunes. The two spent time together in public, and Kyo had even stopped by her house to pick up Megan for a date. Of course her mother was nasty towards Kyo, but he didn't let it effect him. The two made love for the first time and soon Megan was pregnant. Kyo immediately started the wedding plans and sent invitations to their family and friends. Megan did not want her mother to attend, afraid that she may start trouble. The wedding was ready to begin but one unfortunate soul was not going to see the end of it.

Mike Huynh had reached the end of his days and met his fate right before his son's wedding. It was an awful way to begin the ceremony but it had to continue without his father. After the wedding, the guests departed and Kyo received a phone call that his mother Irene had died as soon as she returned home. Naturally Kyo and his sisters were devastated after losing both of their parents on the same day. Even with these traumatic deaths, the siblings still had something to be thankful for. Kyo was now married with a baby on the way and got a new job to support his new family. Time went by and Megan had their first baby boy Daisuke. Happy to see his first child come into the world, Kyo wanted another baby. The same night, the two tried for another child and once again she gave birth to another baby boy, Aito. Feeling the joys of fatherhood all over again, Kyo gets Megan pregnant again.

Seeing her brother full of joy with his new life, Kagura thought it was time for her life to change for the better as well. Kagura invited over Chin-Han and the two went out for a night on the town. When they returned back to Kagura's house, she proposed. Chin-Han said yes and the two spent the rest of the night at Kagura's home. Days passed and Megan was in labor again, this time giving birth to twins. Kyo and Megan welcomed baby girl, Yumi, and baby boy, Sasuke, into the world with open arms. Seeing his family getting far too big for the house, Kyo took his wife and children to a new home and left the house to his sisters. Not too long after their departure, Kagura had a private wedding with her childhood crush and high school sweetheart Chin-Han. The two were happy to finally be married, and not long after the honeymoon was over did Kagura and Chin-Han decide to start a family of their own.

As her sister began to settle down with the man of her life, Tammy went out to find one for herself. She met family man Shannon Ebert. Despite finding a married man with three kids, Tammy still tried her luck and to her surprise was successful. Shannon admitted to being unhappy with his wife, and the two let their love flourish. Still as smart as whip, Tammy had discovered a star and named it after her lover. Naturally of course, the two kept their love a secret but it wasn't long until people realized the product of their forbidden love. Tammy was pregnant with their first child, and later while giving birth to her first boy, Genji, Tammy was completely unaware that her sister was finally pregnant herself. Knowing her sister has always done right by the family, Tammy decided to marry Shannon before their second baby, Fawn, was born and move in with her new husband. With the marriage came a great celebration for everyone except for Joyce Ebert. After the wedding, Shannon changed all the last names of his children from Ebert to Huynh, so as not to offend Tammy. Furious, Joyce refused to move out of the house and tries constantly to get back into the good graces of her ex-husband. Kagura and Tammy still continued to keep in touch with one another, but many times it frustrated Kagura to hear her sister complain about Joyce's evil plots and sorts. Kagura had her own family to manage and listening to her sister became tiresome. Days past by and Kagura gives birth to twin girls, Azula and Asami. Raising the twins has been long hard work, and Chin-Han was never ashamed to call a babysitter so he could get some rest. The girls grow older and are almost ready for school, but Kagura and Chin-Han believe they can go through parenthood together all over again. With Kagura's new pregnancy, they're hoping for triplets.

Chapter 1: Unstable Beginnings

Many generations ago, the first Huynh, Saki Huynh, moved into Pleasentville and not long after met her husband Christopher. Over the years and generations that flew by, the family has expanded in wealth and in size. Saki Huynh was the owner of the poorest house in Pleasentville, but her family has grown to become the richest family in town. Many of the citizens of Pleasentville are descendants of Saki and Christopher Huynh and thus have taken over much of the town. The current head family lives on the outskirts of town in the Huynh mansion, the biggest mansion in Pleasentville that resembles a traditional Japanese castle. This part of the family owns many of the buildings downtown and collects large revenue weekly.

The head of the household is Mike Huynh. His story is much like the rest of the members of this large family, full of turmoil, lies, and cheats. His first wife, Kacey Huynh, was caught cheating when he discovered she was pregnant by his cousin, Clark Huynh. Rightfully so, divorce soon followed after, and willfully, Kacey took her newborn daughter, Megan, and her new lover to a small house on the other side of town. So not to ruin the lives of his twin daughters, Jessica and Maria, because of their mother's distrustful behavior, they were permitted to stay. Mike quickly found new love with Irene and remarried.

Not long after the wedding, one of Mike's younger brothers, Matthew, tried to start a romantic relationship with Irene. Needless to say, the two were immediately on bad terms since Matthew's “play time” knows no bounds. After the little incident, Matthew met his first “play toy", Bridgett Huynh, and on the same day, she found herself pregnant after a date at the nearby hotel. Mike continued to try and establish a sound family and soon Irene gave birth to their first child, Kyo Huynh. Eager to expand again,

Mike and Irene have yet another baby on the way. This time they’re hoping for a baby girl. As Mike and Irene try to bring new life into the world, Jessica tries to bring new money into her own. Much like her uncle, Matthew, Jessica has plans of her own when it comes to relationships. Never wanting to be poor when her time comes for marriage, she visits the neighbors, the Leggett’s. At first things seemed to go well for Jessica. Delbert, the son of the Leggett household and her classmate, became close friends at school and eventually started to come home with one another to do homework. As their friendship began to climb so did their interests in one another, only Jessica was too late. When she was ready to begin a relationship with him, she immediately found out Delbert was dating Fatima Huynh. Despite this, Jessica was determined to marry Delbert. She spent the night at his house, and the two conversed all night long. Eventually Jessica was able to convince Delbert to break up with Fatima. Being the mischievous devil that she is, since she stole someone else's man, Jessica became enemies with Fatima. Jessica and Delbert still have yet to go on their first date, but according to Jessica it won't be long now. Unlike her sister, Maria is more family oriented. Many days she can be found spending time with her other uncle's family, Matthew's twin brother, Bryan. She loves spending time with the kids and her new aunt. Maria doesn't have many friends since she spends more time with her family than outsiders, but she is content nevertheless. Although this may be true, there is reason as to why Maria is never home. When she doesn't want to visit her cousins, Maria is always out after curfew getting drinks,

working out at the gym (and meeting others there too), as well as lashing out at home. All of her misbehavior is because of the broken home she comes from. She has a womanizer for an uncle, a gold digging sister, a father who's very happy with his new family, a stepmother who doesn't acknowledge her, and a mother who has completely abandoned her. Maria may do well in school, but it's only to ensure no one will ask questions. With so many issues haunting the family, it is hard to believe they have come so far, but such is the story of a Huynh.
