Continuing from Lisa's Birth

Lisa was in the living room looking though her baby book when her friend Darcy came in the door.

Darcy: Hey Lisa!

Lisa: (Looks up) Oh! You came sooner then I thought Darcy!

Darcy: (sits next to her) Whatcha lookin' at?

Lisa: Just looking though my family made legacy log to make sure it's accurate.

Darcy: Oh! My mom and dad made me a baby book too. Baby book twins!

Lisa: Not sure if your story is as intriguing as mine. I know you may not believe this but I have memories back to the start of my existence.

Darcy: Really? I don't remember anything when I was really little.

Lisa: Of course you wouldn't. People genuinely don't start remembering anything of their lives until they are around age 3 or so. But somehow I remember more then that. In fact, I have memories before I was born.

Darcy: (confused) Wha? You mean......when you were still in your mommy's tummy?

Lisa: Indeed. Hmmm....Let me try putting this in simple words for you.

(Flashback, Lisa's POV)

It's pretty faint but I believe it was around month seven in the gestation period when my memory started. My eyes were closed the whole time and I couldn't move much. Mostly all I heard was mother's heartbeat. I didn't know what was going on but was trying to figure it out.

I was scared at first not grasping the situation but I started hearing something past the heartbeats. I think it was the voices of my family. I didn't understand their words at the time of course. I heard mother's voice mostly but she talked to me in a very soothing and caring voice that put me at ease and would stop my panicking. Also I heard singing from who I assume was my sister Luna. My siblings always told me Luna sang to me within the womb as she did with our brother Lincoln so I guess she was trying to gain my trust as well.

But then came the day of my birth. The warm water around me drained out and I was panicking more then ever. Then I felt my head being forced down of a tight hole. I then blacked out and then next thing I knew I was out of my mother and in the deliver room of the hospital. The light was bright and I was scared until I heard mother's voice again. Once she held me in her arms, I was calmed down and felt safe as I started to learn all I can of where I was.

Darcy: Wow! I would be scared too not knowing what was happening.

Lisa: Be lucky you don't remember. There is alot of things that happened when I was a baby that were unpleasant.

Darcy: Like what?

(Flashback, Lisa's POV)

I was only 5 or so months at the time when the unpleasant process known as "Teething" started. I felt so much pain from my teeth trying to emerge from underneath my gums to the point of being unbearable.

There was one day when I was trying to take my mandatory afternoon nap that the pain was too much for me to go to sleep. Luckily for me, my sister Leni came to check on me inside my crib.

Leni: (Looking over crip, worried) Lisa? Are you having trouble sleeping?

Lisa: (groaning) Sadly yes. The pain in my mouth is too much for me to go to sleep.

Then I heard Luna enter the room.

Luna: What's going on in here?

Leni: (to Luna) Little Lisa is having trouble sleeping cause of her toothing.

Lisa: Teething!

Leni: (to Lisa)That's what I said! Now hold on little sister. I got something I got ready for this.

Leni ran out of my room. Luna then went up and picked me up in her arms to try to calm me down. Then Leni returned with a baby toy known as a teething ring.

Leni: Just chew on this.

I could not think of any other alternatives and she seemed sure. So I started chewing on the rubber toy when she put it in my mouth. It was a bit cold as it was left in the refrigerator recently. It surprised me how it helped ease the pain of my sore gums.

Luna: Look's like that did the trick.

Leni: I looked up a lot of things that help babies with problems like this. Now she needs something to help her get back to sleep.

Luna: I got that covered.

Then Luna started singing a lullaby she wrote herself. The melody was soothing and soon enough I fell back to sleep.

(End Flashback, Narrative)

Darcy: Awww!

Lisa: (Blushed) Yes, I know. It seems whenever I had difficulties during my growth my siblings were there to help. Even with problems I would not admit to like....crying.

Darcy: You do cry! I saw it once when you were on the time-out chair.

Lisa: I meant before that.

(Flashback, Lisa's POV)

It was actually a few weeks ago. I was asleep and having a very unpleasant dream. In it I was showing off a great invention to a big room of people. But when I turned it on to show it off something went wrong and exploded destroying to stage and injuring some of the people there. They hated me and stated they would never trust me with anything again. It was.....terrible.

I then woke up nearly screaming. Good thing I didn't cause it would of waked up Lily. I was really shaken from that dream that I went out into the bathroom. I then just sat in the tub and just started to cry. I usually did my best not to cry in front of everyone but this time I couldn't hold it in me. But just my luck, Lincoln came in and found me.

Lincoln: Lisa? What are you doing in.....are you?

I looked up and was ashamed of him seeing me like that. I'm usually the most mature sibling (rivaling Lori in some occasions) but now brother saw me with tears pouring like waterfalls from my eyes nearly fogging my glasses completely.

Lisa: (sobbing) I'm.....sorry brother. It's just.......I had a very unpleasant dream and.....

I thought he was gonna laugh at me but instead he got in the tub and hugged me tightly.

Lincoln: Hey, it's OK Lisa. We all have nightmares. Here, come with me.

He then carried me to his room. He had me sit on the bed with him and I explained my nightmare.

Lincoln: I see. I guess with all your inventions your scared that one will backfire and make everyone hate you.

Lisa: I......I guess so. I mean.....it's common that not all inventor's creations will come out the way they were intended to work but.....

Lincoln: It's OK. If there is something bothering you like this you can always come to us. It's good to explain these problems with someone you trust so they can help you feel better.

I was really touched by Lincoln's words. I felt if something did go wrong with my inventions my family would help me anyway I can. I felt way better but not sure if it was safe to go back to sleep.

Lincoln: So if it's still bothering you then you can bunk with me tonight.

I felt that was a good idea since I would feel safer with Lincoln near me. I got under the covers with Lincoln holding me like his bunny plush and I was able to go back to sleep.

(End Flashback, Narrative)

Lisa: In fact, Leni saw us together before we awoke and took a picture of us cause we were seen as cute to her.

Lisa got out her phone and showed Darcy the picture of her and Lincoln sleeping together in his bed.

Darcy: Awww! That is so adorable!

Lisa: (Puts away the phone, blushing) Anyway, what was the point to all this?

Darcy: I guess you really love your family as they love you.

Lisa: Oh yes! I can't really deny that that I do have great affection for my parentals and siblings. They showed me how valuable it is to love your family. But here's the funny thing. Before, they were the only people I truly cared for. I didn't think of socializing or getting along with anyone outside my bloodline. But then, you became my first official friend. Not at first since I only saw you as a way to solidify an A is social skills. But then when you offered your cookie to cheer me up it reminded me of the caring nature of my family. You showed me that friendship is just as great as family love.

Darcy: (tearing up of joy) Aww! Thanks Lisa. I feel you are a good friend now. Even if I have trouble knowing what your saying. Plus, you are good with helping me read.

Lisa: I am used to tutoring others at this point. I'm thinking of helping our other classmates who are struggling in some subjects at school. It's a kind gesture to help their young minds develop properly.

Darcy: Your the best, Lisa!!!

Then out of nowhere, Darcy hugged Lisa and Lisa just hugged back. In her head, she thanked Darcy and her family for showing her that showing love and kindness to others is a great feeling to have.

Lisa: So, you wanna play some checkers?

Darcy: I love playing that! Checker Twins!!!
