Mia in the Middle~ A Malcolm in the Middle Fanfiction

Chapter 1- The Wilkersons

Years ago, my dad grew up in this same house. That was until he went off to college at Harvard and got a job as a science professor here. But ever since my grandparents needed someone to help take care of them, that's where my dad came in. 

My dad's name is Malcolm. He's married to my mom, Julie, who whenever we go over to Gran Lois's and Gramp Hal's, they seem to always be angry with her. Especially Gran. She is a little scary. 

All of my dad's other siblings, Francis, Reese, and Dewey come to visit us sometimes, but none of them have kids yet and they never visit Gran and Gramps. I think it's a little sad but Dad always says they are too tired of them from all of their childhood years. Luckily though, Jamie still lives at the house. He's 17.

We bought the house next door so we are always close by to them. Francis and Piama are my favorite Uncle and Aunt, because they still live up North and always do fun stuff with us, but Reese and Dewey don't care for us much and don't have wives or girlfriends for us to play with. They don't really come to visit much, but when they do, the three of them, Reese, Dewey, and my dad always do something crazy and act just like they did when they were kids, at least that's what my mom says. 

She's Julie. She knew Malcolm from middle school, but then moved away. She always tells me funny stories from when she knew him and how crazy she always thought he was. 

" Riley! Mia! Dawn! Dinner's ready!" Gran Lois calls. We're sitting in the boy's old room. Somehow it is fun to look at all of the old things and places where they used to conduct their old schemes. 

We are all crammed into the Wilkerson famous tiny dining room where lots of action took place when my dad and his siblings used to live here. 

Francis and Piama have come to visit. They still don't have any kids, apparently Piama is very against having them, but she enjoys watching us sometimes and she is a fun Aunt to have, especially considering she is the only one.

Gran and Gramps sit at either end of the head of the table. My dad sits next to Gran, with my mom to his left. Then Jamie sits across from them ( lately he has been super moody and annoying, and he is kinda like an older brother and treats us like he is), with Francis and Piama to the right of him. Then I sit next to Piama, with Riley on my right. Across from me is Dawn, and then it's back to Gramps at the head of the table. It's very crowded, and cheap meat and veggies are getting passed around rapidly, and yet somehow I get some food on my plate. I guess this family is pretty experienced with serving dinner after so many years with five kids around. 

I guess I should now explain who I am, since I have told you all about my crazy father and his crazy family. 

Well, I am Mia. I'm the middle child between my older sister, Riley, who is fifteen, and my younger sister, Dawn, who is nine. I'm twelve. 

Where we live isn't bad, I mean at least we don't have to share a home with Gran and Gramps, it's next door and we have to share a room, but with my dad making a good share of money my mom doesn't have to work. But then again with this crazy family I guess that life can be unfair....
