The Evans family is a happy one, but they aren‘t your average family. Ms. Evans is a single mother with three kids and four grandchildren. Yes, four. He first two kids are twenty-five and twenty-two, and they both have kids, jobs, and lives of their own. Ms. Evans has welcomed the father of her daughter’s kids and the mother of her son‘s kids into her home. It‘s a full house, but the ten of them couldn‘t be happier.

Please, no excess drama. No death, major injury (coma, broken backs, etc.), pregnancy, or drug use. I don't want a car accident followed by a near-death experience and topped off with a cocaine overdose. I do not appreciate, nor want anti-social characters in this roleplay. It is quite alright for your character to be timid, but don't go overboard. No ******** emos in my ******** thread! I want happy-go-lucky characters, dammit! There might be a little bit of arguing, but I still want fun characters. I have been in too many family roleplays where everyone sneaks out to parties, gets pregnant, etc. I want to see this roleplay break the mold.

"You off for the night, Jim?" Brian, a fellow resident asked.

"Yep." was his quick reply, "I've gotta get home to my kids. Have a good weekend, Brian."

James Evans made his way out the front door of the hospital and out to his car. His life was pretty hectic lately, what with kids and wedding plans, and there was nothing like a long drive home to unwind. As soon as the key was turned, the car shuddered to life and The Clash poured from the speakers. He drove like a maniac when he was alone in the car.

Hence the reason he was home almost ten minutes early. He made his way up the driveway and into the house, running upstairs to change out of his scrubs. He put on jeans and a black sweater, and went downstairs to wait for Aisha and the kids.

xxxxxxxxxxautumn


A thin, blonde-haired girl put down her damp paintbrush. "And painting is done for the afternoon," she said lazily. The girl was Autumn Evans, the most widely-known artist in.. the neighborhood. But that never held back dreams of making it big - hey, you gotta keep trying. Brown eyes sparkled in the mirror across from her, and she once again hesitated that she was beautiful. "My boyfriend's just a really good liar." Autumn sat anxiously on the couch, waiting for her brother to return home.

After thirty minutes of waiting, she began to drift off to sleep. But not before her phone rang. She stuffed her hand into the pocket of her jeans and put it on vibrate. But then a faint giggle escaped her mouth, because as you should know, a phone vibrating in your jeans in very ticklish. It then turned into a laugh and she had to get up. This time, she turned the damn thing off. Autumn walked quietly into the kitchen and made herself a bowl of cereal. The milk had probably been over expired, but she could care less. It was Captain Crunch, and she thought to herself as she looked at the small pieces of sugar, God, I need to get a life.

Kyler Verone.

"Ouch!" Kyler exclaimed, hopping around on one foot and cursing under his breath. He'd just managed to drop yet another box of pots and pans onto his foot. How many times had he done this today? He'd lost count. Ah, the joys of moving boxes for a living. Oh well, he had to earn his keep somehow. He groaned one last time and hefted the box into his arms again, making his way up to the front porch. Normally, he'd be carrying a few boxes at a time, but this was the last one of the day.

Kyler pushed open the door, placing this final box atop a few others, then hurrying his way out to an older man standing near the van. This man was Bill, his boss. After a quick conversation, he received his check and was on his way. Thank god for Fridays. His back hurt, his fingertips were callused, his feet were near blistered and cramped in his steel-toed boots, and his stomach was amazingly empty.

It was back home to his daughter, and the love of his life. But first, to the bank! Our hero slid into his ancient red Taurus and turned the key in the ignition. The engine shuddered a bit and started. He made a quick trip to the bank. After cashing his check, and leaning out the window to put the capsule back in the tube, Kyler fastened his seatbelt and drove off; making his way to the grocery store. In a house full of small kids, milk was always in high demand, but he had a few other things to pick up as well. He strolled through the front doors and was immediately ambushed by sound and people.

A woman was attempting to shop for produce, but was having a hard time retrieving a fallen cucumber because her obviously pregnant abdomen was getting in the way. To make matters worse, there was a screaming toddler in the cart that had dropped his cup on the ground. Naturally, he rushed to help. He retrieved the fallen vegetable and handed it to the woman, who thanked him him with a smile and slipped it into a plastic produce bag. He forced his aching back to bend over and grab the sippy cup, and handed it to the boy, who shut up quickly.

Finally, Kyler emerged from the store holding a gallon of milk, a dozen roses, and a bag containing a two liter bottle of Coke, a pack of cigarettes, and a couple of candy bars. Naturally, the last three items were to feed his addictions. He was trying to give up smoking, but he hadn't been very successful.

Eventually, he made it home, bursting through the door and into the kitchen to stow the milk and the Coke in the fridge. There, he saw Autumn with her bowl of cereal. After putting away the milk and the soda, he stuffed the bag containing cigarettes and candy into his pocket and snuck up on Autumn from behind, wrapping his arms around her slim waist. He placed the roses on the counter and placed a kiss on Autumn's cheek.

"Those are for you." he said, as if it wasn't obvious, "Is the beastie sleeping?" he asked, referring to his daughter.

Aisha Rae Evans
Just~Call~Me~Mommy

Aisha sighed as she changed yet another dirty diaper. She loved all of the kids at the daycare, but goodness, where all the infants on fiber formula? She smiled down at the little child wriggling under her hands and tickled him gently before snapping his onesie closed and redressing him in his baby blue jeans. "All set, Johnny," Aisha cooed to him before hoisting him up onto her hip and walking back to the front room. She grinned as she spied his mother and walked over to her. The smiling mother reached out her arms towards her child and Aisha plopped him down in them. "See you on Monday, Mrs. Richardson!"
She waved goodbye to the two before closing the door and running a hand through her dark hair. It was closing time and she had to get her children home. Now where were they? She walked into the playroom, spotting the twins playing in the corner with some toy trucks and her little girl in one of those electronic baby-swing-thingies. She was fast asleep, even at five in the afternoon. She smiled softly, going over and picking up Sarah, who blinked her eyes open for a moment before plopping her head on Aisha's shoulder. "James, Westley, come on now. Daddy's waiting at home for us," she called over to the two little boys. The two quickly abandoned the yellow vehicles and ran over to their young mother, who grinned at them and patted their heads lovingly.
After snapping the two into their carseats and settling Sarah into her own, she closed the back door and went to the driver's seat, quickly buckling her seatbelt and turning the key in the ignition. After about ten minutes of driving, she turned onto into the neighborhood and headed towards the house she shared with so many people. Waving to a passing woman, she finally arrived at home, sighing contentedly. Thank God it was the weekend. But that didn't mean her work was over. The twins were soon released from their leathery confines and bounced happily to the front door chanting "Daddy" excitedly. Aisha cradled Sarah in her arms and went to the door, not needing to unlock it, and went on inside, the twins brushing past her, immediately spotting their father and nearly tackling his legs. Aisha smiled and went over to her husband, leaning up and kissing his cheek. "We're home..." she told him, although he probably already knew that, and hugged his waist, careful of the still slumbering infant she held.
