Jamie took a lazy drag of the Marlboro hanging out one corner of her colorless lips, picking at belly button all the while. The blonde hobbled in her string bikini towards the screen door, not minding that she was both 28 and 5 months pregnant. She stepped over children and teens alike here and there, not minding as she stepped on Ellis' hand, causing a groan, on her way out.
She walked across the lawn, headed straight for the lawn chair to try and get some sun before it got too goddamn hot. They couldn't afford to leave the sprinkler on while she tried to sun bathe, she had to bathe half of the damn household tonight before the water got shut off.
All in all, she was in a fairly decent mood, though that all changed at the discovery that her chair was taken. She growled softly, grown-out acrylic nails curling into her palm as she made a fist.
"Ellis! Get your damn, drunk of a sister off my damn chair before I pull her off it by the hair!" she called, sounding oddly like a southern version of the wicked witch.
---
Codee only groaned at the disturbance, rolling onto her stomach on the lawn chair. It was the closest she had come to bed the night before. She was hoping Jamie would keep her trap shut, seeing as she hadn't woken up half the home in a drunken swagger a few hours before.
Still, she couldn't help but grin, despite the horrible hang over, as the eldest of the family threw a fit. She poked her bottom into the air, waggling it teasingly.
"Wha'cha gunna do, Granny, spank me?" Codee chuckled, sounding rather boy-like. She hooked her arms into the plastic strips holding the chair together. She wasn't going to give up her prize without a struggle.
---
Of course Ellis had been woken up by being stepped on, but his eyes shot open at the screech. He groaned ever so softly, testing out that his hand indeed still worked before starting to move to get up.
The problem with that was that most of the little 'uns liked to snuggle on him. Carefully, and one by one, he had to remove each child, once of which Jamie's little son.
He slowly eased his way up, attempting to dodge the crack in the trailer's flooring so he didn't have them all up and whining. He drug himself ot the screen door, rubbing his eyes as he walked into the sunlight.
"What are you hollerin' about?"

Lyndall woke up in what appeared to be Ellis' bed. She yawned as she put on her normal clothes. Her black bra strap was hanging down her shoulder but she didn't care. Lyndall rubbed her eyes sloppily and walked out of the room. "Hell are you doing Ell?" Lyndall said with a yawn as she looked down at him, She had a minor head ache from the night before for some reason she couldn't remember what happened. As she was trying to think about what happened the night before but she couldn't piece it together. So Lyndall shrugged it off as if she didn't care and focused her attention back to Ellis.

Ellis was sluggish to look back to see Lyndall. He offered her a tired, but handsome smile. "Well hey there, beautiful," he murmured, about to take a step towards her when another screech sounded from Jamie. He paused to cringe before walking to Lyndall, moving to wrap arms around her.
"Get, outta, my, chair!" Jamie hollered, not minding that she was probably waking up the kids and half of the trailer park. They stared at her like she was nasty anyways. She reeled back and smacked the younger siblings bottom, getting a yelp out of her.
"And you," she turned her attention to Lyndall, "If you're going to be usin' up all my hot water and eattin' all my food, you better pray the good Lord makes the sky rain out money or I'm puttin' your a** out."

Lyndall looked up to Ellis and gave him a cutesy smile, As her response to Ell's sister Jamie hollering at her she moved her jaw mimicking the way she was talking to her and she looked back up at Ellis. Lyndall moved back putting more weight on Ellis as she gave him a sweet but a tad bit sloppy kiss on the cheek.

Winny kicked open the door of the bathroom before stomping down, scratching her head with bad tempered sleepiness, looking annoyed at the noise, the arguing, and not least of all the presence of Ellis' girlfriend.
"Ellie, what the hell's goin' on?"
She hardly appreciated anyone who monopolized so much of her beloved brother's time. Least of all someone unfamiliar to her in the least. She had made it a policy to give her a hard time, no matter how many times she'd be told off for it.
"You din't gonna make that one sleep outside?" She scoffed, jerking her head towards Lyndall. "You're too soft with your pets, Ellis..."
A prominent disgusted nose wrinkle would ensue at the kiss.
"...I see you fergot ta feed 'er this morning."

Ellis simply grinned lazily into the sloppy kiss. The hick was far too sweet to cringe into the affection. Not that he was starved for it, by any stretch of the means. He simply chuckled softly at Lyndall's mimicking Jamie.
"Sleep good?" he questioned, fingertips tracing down the sides of her face as if he were trying to block out his older sister. Though, his attention was short-lived, as it was in most cases.
Ellis released Lyndall with the disturbance, turning to see his younger sibling. He playfully charged at the teen, scooping her up and flipping her upside-down over one shoulder effortlessly.
"What did I tell ya about bein' nice to our guests, huh?" he gave them both a spin and a half, before he got dizzy himself. He steadied himself as best he could, smirking.
"You know you're my number one girl, Fred," he winked back at her, though it was her back end facing him currently.
---
Jamie stared at both, with a blank face, simply moving to sit on top of Codee. She took a drag from her cigarette, legs crossing.
"You two are dumb as door nails," she flicked the cigarette, nearly burning the younger sibling under her. "Winnie, you gotta stop gettin' all jealous. He is your damn brother. Couldn't marry him if ya wanted."
She teased, smirking. It made what could have been a pretty face wrinkle a bit.

"Ellie! Ellie! Lemme go, chucklenuts!" Fred beat his back in vain with her fists, in vain protest. "One of these days, I'm gonna get fat so you can't pull this s**t any more...!" She scowled with shrill protest.
She wrinkled her nose at Jamie, turning a bit pink anyway but twisting her face with disgust as well.
"Jamesy , we ain't never gonna be white trash enough for that, ya sicko..."
The foul mouthed teen pouted bad temperedly.

Lyndall was originally going to retort to his sister something mean. Then when Ellis grabbed his sister Lyndall laughed softly. Ellis was such a sweetheart. She always knew that Winny never liked her that much but hell she'd put up with that for Ellis.
_________________________________
Shay-Lyn walked out of her brother and sister infested bedroom and went in to the bedroom, She made sure the roots of her green hair weren't showing, Shay hated being part of her family. She especially showed resentment to her mom jamie. Her natural hair colour is Blonde like her mom's but she wouldn't want anyone to see that. Shay slipped out of the washroom rolling her eyes at her mom and her aunty winny, Her and Winny were like sister's because of the short age difference between them. "Oh god." Shay muttered still trying to wake up after staying up late the night before.

"What was that?" Ellis smirked at Winnie, "Not going to marry me after all? There's only one thing to do." His voice was teasing, hesitating a moment before pretending to break her on his knee. He was careful as he plopped her into the grass.
He wiped his hands, starting to head over towards Lyndall again. He offered her a cheesy grin, noticing her laughing. He liked to think of himself as entertaining...
---
"You never know," the mother of many murmured around the cigarette, drawing it away between two boney fingers. "Bet you'd make cuter kids than him an' that dark-haired b***h," she murmured into another drag of her cigarette, as if Lyndall wasn't only feet away.
She lifted and Codee crawled out from under her, looking over to notice Shay. She didn't say anything, though, simply got comfy in her lawn chair. The eldest of the family situated her sunglasses over her eyes, legs crossing.
---
Codee was up and stumbling now, making grabby hands towards her little niece. "Shay baaaaaaby," she drawled, half drunk and half just her usual speech pattern. The 24-year-old hobbled towards the little green-haired teen, arms outstretched.
"Do me a favor and wake up my little man," she said, meaning Shay's younger half-brother Darius. "That or lemme braid your hair... I'm tryin' to stay away 'fore work."

Lyndall ignored what Jamie said, Guess no one in his family really liked her, but hell the only one that she cared about who liked her was Ellis. She looked at jamie and sneered. Lyndall smiled at Ellis again seeing his cheesy smile, It made her feel happier than she was.
--------------------------
Shay noticed her Aunty Codee coming towards. The smell of beer invaded her nostils "Jesus Aunty are you wasted? Your breath reeks of beer. But sure I'll wake Darius up." She escaped her Aunty's grasp as she shook Darius awake saying "Get the hell up Darius."

"You ain't half so lucky 'assat, Ellie!"
Freddie rolled over on the grass promptly and crossed her arms behind her head lazily.
"Jamesy, if you was so worried about pretty kids, you wouldn'ta had any..."
Her and her brothers and sisters were always trading insults. It was the way they showed for affection or...something. Really, the only one she was truly mean spirited with was Lyndell.
"Shaaaay..." Grinning mischievously she tossed a wave over her head at her 'niece'. At first it had been strange to think of herself as an aunt, but it didn't bother her much any more. "Hate to say it, but it looks ta me like a leprechaun's gone and took a s**t on your pretty little head."
Her hair had been green for quite the while now and truthfully, she found it quite striking. But that hadn't stopped the cheeky little imp from using it as ammunition for her wise-cracking.

Ellis hooked an arm around the dark-haired girl's waste, tugging her up against himself tightly. All the while, he kept up the same, cheesy smile.
"Now where were we?" he questioned quietly, as if not to attract the rest of the family on the lawn. His forehead set to her's, grinning lazily.
He was probably too sweet for the likes of most of the park.
---
"Shut your trap, you little rodent 'fore I pop ya in the microwave," Jamie managed, lazily. She pushed down her glasses. "Make yourself useful and bring me a drink, will ya?"
---
Darius was already up, simply staring at the wall opposite him. He turned over to see Shay, offering her a toothy smile.
"Mornin'," he said, moving to get up. He already knew where he was needed, wandering past his half-sister. If she was even that.
He was probably the only good-natured one of the family.

She feigned shock for a moment. "s**t, Jamesy, you sayin' you gone and learned to use the microwave?"
Rolling over again, she glared at her older sister from her stomach this time with a stern point of her finger. "...oh no. Ain't no one else gettin' drunk before noon. Dunno how Codee managed it...it might just be she's just like that natural."
Winnie's other hobby was her losing battle to keep her family reasonably sober. Or soberer. Or sober before noon. Or sober in fronta comp'ny. Or while driving. Or while pregnant.
...
"...ya'll are a buncha good fer nothin' drunks, you know that?" Codee and Jamie would both get clods of dirt thrown at them.

Lyndall looked to Ellis his arm was around her. He felt safe she looked up to him her head on one of his shoulders. "I can't remember can you jog my memory?" Lyndall said smiling at his cheese-tastic smile.
_________
Shay looked over at Fred the person who said her hair looked like leprechaun s**t. "Fred, At least my hair looks like something interesting happened to it instead of that bland blonde color." Shay said as she stuck out her tounge at her "Aunt" Fred was the only one she refused to call Aunt it was too weird to call her Aunty Fred after all. Shay looked at her mother, Shay was the first "Mistake" That her Mom made, When she was drunk she even said Shay was a mistake more like hollered that loud enough that even the neighbours knew she was a mistake. Like Shay cared she hated most of her family, Only one's she could stand were Ellis, Fred and Ells girlfriend Lyndall. Lyndall was gonna hook Shay up with a tatoo when Shay found a design. That proved harder to be when this place infested with kids and always took what wasn't theres.
