"Come on Vi keep up sweetheart you too Liese." Shell called as she hand of two little boys in each of hers redheaded James in her right, and dark haired Jake in the other but all four of them had her crystal aquamarine eyes.
It was slowly turning into the autumn season which meant leaves were coated on the cobblestone pathway down to hogsmeade. Today their trip was to buy some candy down at Honeydukes but Shell had to still get home and make dinner for the rest of her so called army of children.
"Mum, you're going too fast." the eldest called in a know it all tone as her blonde pigtails bounced back and forth as her redheaded sisters curls followed the same pattern as her sisters. "I don't think she's listening to us Violet." Annaliesa giggled as they finally caught up behind their younger brothers as they continued their way down the path they knew so well already. [/size] |

Cameron was walking down the cobbled path with Robin skipping behind her. "Be careful not to fall over honey, the paths pretty uneven and you have to left feet" Cam chuckled to herself.
Cameron looked over her shoulder at her daughter skipping behind her with her mousey brown hair flowing freely over her face but you can still see her ever changing peircing blue eyes through her hair. She was chuckling to herself.
"It's ok mummy i won't trip i'm not that silly[/color] She replied in her sweetest innocent voice but then at that moment her foot caught a broken cobble and she fell her face went from happy to terrified in seconds. Cam gasped as her daughter hit the floor with a thud "Robin!"[/size]

Shell smiles at her daughters' whispering behind her. Of course she heard them but she was in a hurry as usual. After all, being a mother of eleven was always hectic even if Jenny and Zoe were gone out of the house soon with Isaiah and Ashlyn following close behind.
Shaking her head from her thoughts of her slowly dwindling nest of children she heard a younger woman gasp and seen a little girl with brown hair falling onto the hard cobblestone pathway infront of her. Hurrying over to the girl Shell bent down as the four of them swarmed around her as well, their faces full of worry.
"You okay sweetheart?" Shell asks softly helping the small girl to her feet and brushing off the tiny pieces of gravel caught in her skin lightly trying not to hurt her more. Call it her motherly instinct but any child that she seen that needed her help she always treated like her own. Taking in three orphans into her house she seemed to have a light spot for anyone's children. [/size] |

Cameron rushed over to Robin's side " Robin are you ok? I told you to be careful! she said getting a tissue out of the pocket Cam turned to the woman next to her "Thanks for rushing over like that i'm sure she'll be fine once i've cleaned her up and bought her the sweets i said she couldn't have" Cameron rolled her eyes while smiling with a knowing look noticing the four children with the woman.
"My names Cameron, and this clutzes name is Robin, she was born with two left feet i swear" Cam forced a laugh she was always protective over Robin she hated it when she hurt herself in fear of losing her.

"It's no problem at all. Just a minor scratch is all." she says with a smile to Robin before feeling James wrap his hands around her neck. "I'm Shelby Crescent. It's nice to meet you." Liese smiles at Robin as well sitting down at the ground and looking up at her with her blue eyes. "I'm Annaliesa, but you can call me Liese. I'm nine. That's James and Jake. They're four and seven. And that's. "I'm Violet. Call me Vi. I'm eleven and a slytherin like my da." she says with a grin on her lips. Shell laughs slightly at her kids' confidence when they always seemed to introduce themselves or Liese introducing everyone. Shelby didn't even bother to anymore when meeting someone new if Liese was with her. [/size] |

Cameron smiled she loved it when kids were that brave she found it funny "It's nice to meet you all Liese, Jake, James and Vi" Cameron says sweetly "Mummy?" says Robin in her mummy i want something voice "Can i have one of you special plasters?"[/b] She looked at Cam with puppy dog eyes "Of course you can" Cameron laughed and took one of the pink love heart plaster out of her bag and put it on the graze on her knee "Kids hey?" " I was just getting her some sweets for the journey to go see her unlce" Cam smiled "Uncle Jack! Uncle Jack!"[/b] "It will be the first time she's met him you wouldn't believe it would you" Cam laughed still sitting on the floor next to Robin.[/size]

"What does that do?" Shell asks curiously, just staring at the small pink heart plaster that Cam was softly rubbing against Robin's knee. After a few seconds, they smiled at the word sweets. "Mum, that's where we're going too!" Liese exclaimed grinning up at Shelby. Shell couldn't help but laugh at her grin. "Uncle Jack? That wouldn't be Jack Clark would it?" she asks softly still with a faint smile gracing her fair lips. [/size] |

"Nothing really she just thinks it's magic" Cam whispered to Shell "Yeah mummy wouldn't let me have theese sweets i have she's says i'll become to hyper!"[/b] Robin laughed.
Cameron turned to shell the smile fading from her face "Yeah Jack Clark, do you know him?" Cam asked. [/size]

Shell nods slightly at what Cam first said about the plasters and started listening to the girls. "Yes, I'm sorta in love with him? But anyway..." she says trailing off and looking back to the ground. [/size] |

"In love with him?" Cam smirked "Can't blame you really he's great, always been like a big brother to me which is why i felt so.." Cam stopped she wasn't sure if she should finish the sentence while talking to a complete stranger even if she did know jack could she trust her? Cam got this trait from Jack never trusting anyone..

Shell sighs a little and nods. "I know how amazing he is. Sometimes I don't think he's in love with me but he says he is..." she says still softly before glancing back at Cam. [/size] |

"Why do you doubt him?" Cam asked hoping that she doesn't sound atrusive but she was confused

"Well he was just married... I don't know if he got divorced from Bella or not. And the fact that he's sorta well. He gets around if you get what I mean." she says in a whisper so the kids couldn't hear them. [/size] |

Cam blushed smiling "He's my cousin although way may aswell be brother and sister really as a kid i used to copy everything he did and sometimes i look just like him..."Cam sighed it was the first time she talked freely about anything that had happened in her past "This will be the first time Robin and Jack have met "Cam said looking at the floor the smile fading from her face.

Shell smiles just listening to her describing her childhood with Jack. "That's sweet that you two are so close. That's how I am with a few of my cousins too." she says with a nod. [/size] |

"Tristian? You're his sister...." she slightly mumbles before shaking her head and forcing a smile. "Well, shall we all head to Honeydukes then?" Shell asks as she changed the subject rather quickly. [/size] |

Shell laughs a little as well before standing back up and looking over to the four of them. "Okay let's go." she says to them watching them run in front of her besides Liese. "Come on Robin!" she says with a grin before extending her hand out to her. [/size] |

Shell smiled meakly looking down towards the five of them running down the path. "No. I have eleven. Really eight, just with the previous war has left my friends' children in my care when they were young so I took them in." she says softly before biting her lip. "They don't have their fathers... Either dead or doesn't visit them. Only Draven sees Jake and that's it." [/size] |

"Well that's one better than Robins dad, he just doesn't care, she tries so hard bless her it makes me feel really bad sometimes becuase she'll wake up with a nightmare and ask for Daddy, and well he's not there anymore." Cam looked down as she was walking her hair falling around her face. "Sometimes i wish i could do more for her."

"You sound exactly like me... just minus ten children." Shell says with a light smile before catching up with the kids. "So is everyone ready for the sweet shop?" she asks with a wider smile towards all of them. [/size] |

Shell laughs a little more watching her own kids run after Cam and Robin into the store. The moment Shell followed them in she looked around at them comparing what each of them had already grabbed. Being a family of always twelve or thirteen over the years took its toll on the kids. It always made her feel guilty that they knew Shell could only spend a couple sickles on four of them for a special treat that happened once a month. [/size] |

Robin had picked up a jumbo pack of chocolate frogs and a jumbo pack of liqourice wands "Mummy please?"[/b] Robin pleaded showing her mum what she had picked up "Robin you know I can't afford all of that sweetie, you can have one chocolate frog and one liquorice wand and that's it for the next couple of weeks so make it last " Cam replied she hated saying no to Robin but all the years of not saying no were slowly starting to creep back up on her.
