Bambi and I walked into the restaurant , we took a seat at a table before she spoke saying "so anything new since yesterday evening" I shrugged saying "yeah uh actually uh I got a promotion at work". Bambi responded saying "that's amazing" I nodded saying "I couldn't believe it I mean I can't believe it" Bambi responded again saying "congratulations sweetie" I nodded saying "yeah I'm just in shock". The waitress walked over before she spoke saying "can I get you ladies anything , would you like to start off with some drinks" Bambi spoke saying "we'd like a nice bottle of wine were celebrating my granddaughters new job promotion". The waitress nodded before she walked away from the table , I spoke saying "I uh think when the waitress comes back I'll ask for a water" Bambi responded saying "oh is everything okay" I nodded saying. "I'm uh well uh Steve and I have began trying to have another baby". Bambi responded saying "oh how exciting" I nodded before she added "so how's Jackson after last night" I responded saying "he's okay uh he's got questions about everything" Bambi nodded saying "well that's understandable" I again responded saying "hey you had dad and Aunt Jenny at sixteen right" Bambi nodded again before I added "how did you tell them" she responded saying "well uh they were nine and uh they came home from school all upset because somebody was picking on them and they found out and all they were saying was how sorry they were , then we sat down and I told them Stan wasn't their father and well they were pretty understanding and when Jenny was older her and I sat down and we had an open and honest talk about it". I nodded before she added "and I think you and Steve should sit down with him together , you know the one thing I always wished was their dad was their with me" I responded saying "Bambi when was the last time you saw him" she sighed as I spoke again saying "sorry I shouldn't have asked-" Bambi cut me off saying. "oh no it's okay uh was probable your fathers fourth birthday" I nodded saying "do you mind me asking how you two meet" she responded saying "well I met Jackson-" I cut her off saying "his name was Jackson" she nodded saying "oh yes that's where your father got his name from and I assume that's where you got Jackson's name from" I nodded before she added "so I was a sophomore in high school when I met him , he was popular , he was smart and very funny. We met at a party I uh hated parties but my little sister Peggy wanted to go so I took her and I met him I mean I had known him forever but I had never really met him he was extremally charismatic. Uh we dated for a few months when I started to feel funny and sure enough I was pregnant he was so excited he really was he was even more excited when we found out it was twins but around their third birthday he started to change he started to act funny , he went through a lot during the war and I think a lot of it caught up to him and one night he put the kids to bed while I was washing up the dishes and all of a sudden I hear the front door to shut and I looked out the front window to se his truck pulling out of the driveway and I never saw him again". I frowned saying "I'm sorry Bambi" she responded saying "oh honey it's okay it was forever ago but I always felt bad for him missing him out on everything , missing out on his kids and his grandkids you know I don't know if your father ever told you but he was a writer too". I responded saying "he was" Bambi nodded saying "oh yes he uh always talked about writing a book but uh he was always afraid of putting himself out their" I nodded before she added "anyways so is their anything else new" I shook my head saying "I guess that's everything" she nodded saying "well uh when did you decided to have another baby I thought after what happened during your delivery with Jackson that you were done" I nodded saying "I did but I really thought about it and I think I'm ready to have another baby" she nodded saying "and what does Steve think". I responded again saying "he's ready too he thinks were doing well in our relationship" Bambi nodded saying "well I hope you don't mind but I was gonna stop by for dinner tonight before I left tomorrow" I responded saying "Bambi your a good cook right". She nodded saying "I'd say so why" I responded again saying "well I've been thinking and I decided that I should try and learn to cook , I've tried cookbooks I've taken classes but I really want to learn to cook". Bambi responded saying "okay I could write down some recipes for you to start of with" I nodded as she added "you know what we can run by the store after lunch and we could probably be home by the time Jackson's home". I nodded again before the waitress came back over.

Bambi and I were putting away the groceries when I heard a knock at the front door , I walked over and opened the front door to see Mrs. Harrington standing their with Jackson he ran up to me and hugged my legs before Mrs. Harrington spoke saying "uh I don't mean to bother you but could I have a few saltines please I'm feeling a little nauseous". I nodded before I quickly walked into the kitchen and grabbed a packet of saltine crackers before I walked back with Mrs. Harrington and handed them to her she spoke saying "thank you" I responded saying "is everything okay" she nodded saying "oh I'm fine I've just been feeling a bit nauseous lately I'll uh I'll see you tomorrow". I nodded before saying goodbye to Mrs. Harrington , I walked back into the kitchen before I walked into the kitchen to see Bambi standing their with Jackson he spoke saying "Bambi what are you doing" Bambi responded saying "mommy and I are going to make dinner , do you wanna help". Jackson responded saying "but mommy doesn't know how to cook" Bambi responded saying "well that's why I'm going to teach her" Jackson nodded saying "can we eat dinner at the table" Bambi chuckled saying "well don't you always do that". Jackson shook his head saying "we have dinner watching tv" Bambi sighed before he added "and mommy and daddy have their jammies on" I spoke saying "hey sweetpea why don't you got put your shoes away and put up your jacket". Jackson ran out of the kitchen before Bambi spoke saying " Y/n Ym/n you have dinner in front of the television in your pajamas" I sighed saying "it sounds bad it really does but were always so busy" Bambi responded saying "young lady you need to sit at the table and have dinner together as a family do you understand". I nodded in agreement with Bambi since I did agree with Bambi , before when it was just Jackson and I we always had dinner at the table together unless he was at Steve's or we went out to dinner. I knew I had to do better I always told myself he wouldn't be brought up on take out and fast food like I was , I tried I really did , I tired making homemade baby food when he was younger but going to school and having a part time job not to mention raising a baby and being a single mother living paycheck to paycheck kept me pretty busy. I tried sitting down and having dinner with him but trying to get a two year old to sit still long enough for us both to eat dinner wasn't an easy task. I tried cooking classes but they weren't very budget friendly and I wasn't really learning much from them since I sighed up for the wrong one. Jackson ran back into the kitchen saying "mama can we take Buster for a walk" I nodded saying "yeah I guess so uh Bambi do you come with us" Bambi responded saying "sure sweetheart we could make dinner when we get back" I nodded before walking towards the front door to grab Buster's leash.

I held onto Buster's leash while Bambi spoke saying "so Jackson what is it that you want Santa to bring you" Jackson shrugged before Bambi added. "So Y/n are you still planning on spending the holidays with Steve's family" I nodded saying "yeah I think so I still haven't talked to Mrs. Harrington yet I was gonna talk to her but she wasn't feeling good". Bambi frowned saying "well I hope she's okay and you said Steve's grandmother is their too" I nodded before she added "you know I don't think I've seen her since your first mothers day Y/n" I nodded again as Jackson spoke up saying "mommy when can we go back to the lake again". Bambi responded saying "they still have the lake house" I nodded as she added "didn't Steve's grandfather build that" I nodded again saying "yeah it's uh absolutely beautiful we had Jackson's birthday up their once" Bambi responded saying. "Oh I bet that was nice when was this" I responded saying "it was for his third birthday it was really cute it was all uh dinosaurs" Jackson spoke saying "mommy I don't like dinosaurs anymore that's for babies" I responded saying "well when you were three loved dinosaurs" Jackson sighed saying "well I'm not a baby anymore I'm almost seven" before I could respond he added "mommy can I go play on the swings" I nodded as he ran to the small playground in the apartment complex. Bambi spoke saying "what's with him all of a sudden not liking babies" I responded saying "I don't know it's pretty new Steve and I are a bit worried but I think we'll be okay once he moves on from this phase. I mean at first he adored Emma but now she annoys him we don't really know what happened" Bambi nodded saying "well uh when she's around what are you and Steve doing" I responded saying "well she absolutely adores Steve and I usually sit down on the floor and play with-" Bambi cut me off saying. "Well their you go he doesn't like the attention you give her" I nodded before Jackson spoke up saying "mama could you come and push me". Flashback

"So Matthew how's your father doing" Bambi said , Matt responded saying "he's good he's remarried now" Bambi nodded saying "oh that's nice now how long have you two been married". Matt again responded saying "uh we got married last spring" Colleen spoke up saying "yeah it was nice it was uh at my sisters house uh it was really pretty uh with the flowers and uh I wore the dress I wore to my collage graduation". Bambi responded saying "that's lovely and uh Matt how's your sister doing" Matt spoke saying "uh she's good she lives in California now with her boyfriend". Bambi responded saying "oh uh has she still been doing her painting last I heard she was really good" Matt sighed saying "I don't know we don't really talk as much". Colleen spoke saying "so Jackson honey how's school" Jackson responded saying "good I can read by myself now" Colleen sighed saying "wow god I can't believe Emma's gonna be able to do that one day". Matt spoke up saying "so Y/n uh how's Steve well where even is Steve" I responded saying "he had to work late but uh were good" Matt responded saying "hey we still good for dinner tomorrow night" I responded saying "yeah I guess so uh I'll have to find someone to watch Jackson but yeah that sounds good" Jackson spoke up saying "mommy can I be excused" I nodded saying "sure sweet pea why don't you go play with Emma" Jackson sighed saying "do I have to" I responded saying "no you don't you can go play" Jackson responded saying "can I watch tv in your room" I nodded saying "that's fine just uh stay out of daddy and I's nightstand okay" he nodded before running out of the dinning room as Matt spoke saying "what's in your nightstand" I huffed before Bambi added "well apparently what her sister says it's pretty interesting" Matt chuckled before Bambi added "isn't' that right Y/n something about handcuffs-" I cut Bambi off saying "okay let's talk about anything else so Colleen when do you go back to work". Colleen responded saying "the first week of January" I nodded before Emma tottered into the dinning room she babbled before reaching her arms out to Colleen as she spoke saying "mama" Colleen put Emma on her lap before I spoke saying "when did she start talking". Colleen responded saying "just a few days ago Matt's jealous she didn't daddy first" Matt rolled his eyes before she added "what did Jackson say first mama or daddy". I responded saying "oh he actually said uh Papa first uh that would be Steve's dad and then he said Mama on uh new years eve after that" Colleen nodded saying "aww that's sweet" Bambi spoke up saying "so uh who's ready for dessert".

I pulled into the hideaways before getting out of Bambi's car , I walked in before seeing Phillip seated at the bar. I walked over before I took the besides Phillip "do you want anything" he said , I shrugged saying "I haven't ever really been to a bar I mean I went out for my twenty first but I don't really remember any of that". Phillip responded saying "yeah I get it despite the rumors about me in high school I'm wasn't a drinker or a Party-goer and I assume you weren't either" I shook my head saying "no I spent most Friday nights watching scary movies , writing and planning what I'd do once I left Hawkins". Phillip nodded saying "I went from one week spending my allowance on comic books to the next week spending it on diapers". I responded saying "so uh how old's you daughter" he responded saying "Abbie will be seven in July , how old's yours" I responded saying. "He'll be Seven in February" Phillip nodded before I added "uh so why did you quit" Phillip responded saying "we'll I've been thinking about it for a while now uh I mean I get you've known Mr. Paterson forever but I didn't like how it changed , I mean the company was great but now it's all about money. I signed up for a small company and I uh needed some flexibility my wife and I are having another baby in the spring". I responded saying "congratulants" Phillip nodded saying "I wanted to say sorry though for always bothering you I guess , I guess I just wanted someone who could understand what I went through cause it's not easy , when I moved here I heard about a support group and when I went it was all women and I kinda got embarrassed but being a single parent isn't easy. It helps when you have someone who understands , who's been there" I nodded silently before he added "and is doesn't help when people talk about you behind and say the most ridiculous things about you and judge you" I nodded again saying "it probably hurts the worst" Phillip nodded saying "I uh came home from school one day and their was a basket on the front porch and sure enough Abbie was in their , her mom wasn't ready uh for that kinda commitment it was just Abbie and I for a while , when Abbie was three her mom came back and uh so slowly she went from seeing Abbie a couple hours a week to having her weekends. A few years after that Gwen and I started to hang out and we ended up getting married a few months after that but I know what it's like to miss out on stuff , like parties and concerts all of that. Although I took Abbie to a Madonna concert for her birthday when she was five and I uh I have a pretty okay time" I chuckled saying "I uh won concert tickets when Jackson was four and I ended up taking him with me , everyone their probably thought I was crazy for bringing a four year old but he loved it" ". Phillip responded saying "they were probably jealous their mom didn't do that with them , because you sound like one awesome mom" I sighed saying "that's what I had to tell myself" Phillip responded saying "so how about a beer".

"Wait a minute , I'm sorry you did what" Phillip said , I responded saying "you heard me" Phillip chuckled saying "yeah but their has to be more to that story". I again responded saying "no that's it , I uh used to work at the Hawkins Post and uh some jackass put some stupid rubber rat in the cabinet above the coffee maker". Phillip responded saying "what did you do with it" I responded saying "I left it their what do you mean what did I do with it" Phillip nodded saying "uh okay well what's one time you couldn't' understand why they singled you out" I responded saying "well uh oh you know what birthday parties , my son always got singled out and wouldn't get invited so I just stopped telling people I was a teen mom". Phillip responded saying "Y/n you can't do that , that's what makes uh different , Y/n it might not be coinvent but we do have some advantages". I chuckled saying "what do you mean advantages" Phillip responded saying "well were younger we can still run around with our kids-" I cut him off saying "I'm not in shape enough to run around with him but I mean I do guess I know what you mean I mean I wouldn't chose another time in my life to have him". Phillip nodded saying "see I used to be like that but now I'm grateful for the way I had Abbie" I nodded again saying "but I do guess I understand why people wouldn't want some random twenty year old at my party". Phillip nodded again saying "I guess so but there their own person Y/n it wasn't their choice" I responded saying "exactly and of course stranger asking you if your their babysitter isn't great either" Phillip responded saying "oh I've been asked if I'm her older brother and I assume you've heard that too" I nodded saying "oh I've been asked that , I've been asked if he's my nephew or my stepson it's ridiculos". Phillip nodded saying "did you get the promotion" I sighed saying "I did is that weird because I hope we can still be friends and put all of that stuff behind us". He nodded saying "god that would be great , god I better going uh so Gwen doesn't worry-" I again cut him off saying "was that who was on the phone earlier" Phillip responded saying. "Oh yeah that's' Gwen you know keep the number maybe we can get the kids together sometime or maybe we could do a double date sometimes we get together with Matt and Colleen so it might be nice to change up things". I responded saying "yeah uh wait you hang out with Matt and Colleen" Phillip responded saying "oh yeah Gwen works in the same dental office as Colleen" I nodded before he added "do you need a ride" I shook my head saying "I'm good I drove" Phillip nodded saying "well I'll see you around I hey wait a minute what'd you do to your hand" I responded saying "It's fine I got into a small car accident" Phillip responded "are you okay" I nodded saying "I'm fine just a little sore that's all". Phillip nodded saying "well I'll see you around Y/n it was really nice to talk" I nodded saying "it was we should do it again" Phillip nodded again saying "yeah well uh have a good night" I nodded before Phillip stood up and walked away from the bar before I felt a tap on my shoulder , I assumed it was Phillip before I turned to see it was Callahan. I sighed saying "can I help you" he spoke saying "well uh I haven't gotten a call back so and-" I cut him off saying "that was four years ago , Phil I'm not interested" he responded saying "well why don't we go out this weekend" I shook my head saying "you know what I'm not interested so could you please leave me alone". Callahan responded saying "well could we at least talk Y/n I'm-" I cut him off again saying "Phil I'm not telling you again I'm not interested , leave me alone" before Callahan could responded , Phillip walked back over to the bar he spoke saying. "Hey Y/n you okay" he spoke again saying "uh hey I was wondering if we could talk" he looked at Callahan before he added "uh could you give us some space please". Callahan walked away as Phillip spoke saying "are you okay , who was that guy" I responded saying "he's one of my dad's coworkers he's tried setting me up with" Phillip nodded before he took the sat he was in earlier as he spoke saying "do you wanna talk about it".

I took the seat across from Bambi at the dinning room table , she spoke saying "so why were you home late". I sighed saying "I uh I-" Bambi cut me off saying "stop slouching , sit up and stop mumbling your a grown man act like one" I nodded saying "I uh had to stay late at work". Bambi responded saying "my son tells me you've asked for his blessing to marry Y/n is that true" I nodded saying "yes ma'am" she responded saying "and he tell me he said no is that also true". I nodded again saying "yes ma'am" she sighed as I added "however I do have Jim's permission" Bambi nodded saying "well that's good , you've got mine too I know it's not the most traditional but it would probably mean something to Y/n". I nodded before she added "when are you gonna do it" I responded saying "Christmas eve" Bambi nodded saying "that's good do you know how your gonna do it , do you know what your gonna say". I sighed saying "I was just gonna keep it simple" Bambi shook her head saying "Oh goodness no offence but you gotta step it up , wait a minute do you even have a ring picked out" I nodded before I pulled the small ring box out of my pocket before I put it on the table. Bambi opened the box as I spoke saying "it was my grandmothers" she nodded saying "has Jack seen this" I shook my head as she put it back on the table. She spoke saying "well that's why said no he doesn't think your being serious you should show him this I mean for crying out loud when he asked Diane he didn't have a ring oh uh let's keep that between us" I nodded saying "he said no because he doesn't like me , he doesn't trust me" Bambi sighed saying "well I wonder why that is". I sighed before she added "so your gonna ask her on Christmas eve right" I nodded as she spoke saying "I guess so" she sighed again saying "alright well how are you gonna do it" I shrugged saying "well I'm probably just gonna go on my knee and then ask" Bambi shook her head saying "no you can't do that okay here's what you do you get some string , put the ring on a string put the string around the dog and that's how you do it thank goodness I'm here or this would be a mess". Bambi looked at her watch before saying "huh she's been out a while" I responded saying "do you know where she is" Bambi sighed saying "she said she had to go out and goodness me that was almost two hours ago I wonder where she could be".

"So how long have you been with uh I'm sorry I honestly don't know his name-" I cut him off saying "Steve I've been with Steve for almost nine years , off and on but where good were really good". Phillip responded saying "that's great so uh nine years uh you guys aren't engaged yet" I shook my head saying "we were uh when I was pregnant but it didn't work out" Phillip nodded saying "that's okay uh so I heard from Matt you guys got a puppy" I nodded saying "oh Buster he's sweet he's not so much a puppy anymore but he's cute". Phillip responded saying "oh yeah uh Santa is bringing Abbie a puppy , it's at my sister's house it's a little golden doodle it's cute". I nodded before he added "I'm pretty sure though it's gonna destroy the garden" I responded saying "you have a garden" Phillip nodded saying "yes Gwen and Abbie have a small strawberry garden" I chuckled saying "god not in a million years would I assume you have a strawberry garden" Phillip responded saying "yeah okay and in the summer we sell them at a farmers market and we take the money and donate it to the children's hospital". I responded saying "Phillip that's really sweet" Phillip nodded saying "Anyways so enough about me , what about you Y/n" I spoke saying "well I've always wanted to be a writer , I've uh can I ask you something first". Phillip nodded before I added "when did you know that you and Gwen were past your problems , when did you know you were ready to be back together" Phillip sighed saying "well uh I think you know when you know , is something wrong" I sighed saying "well uh Steve and I had been arguing a lot lately , I don't know why though I mean I really don't know why , I guess we've just had a lot going on but I hate arguing and I hate arguing in front of Jackson". Phillip responded saying "honestly the best thing to do is to sit down and have an open and honest talk about everything just lay it out their" I nodded before he added "hey it's getting late I better get going , you probably should too" I nodded before he spoke again saying "do you need me to walk you out" I responded saying "yeah uh that would be nice thanks" Phillip nodded before Phillip and I walked out of the bar.

I walked back into the apartment and let out a yawn "where'd you go on your trip" Steve said before he added "Y/n come on just tell where you went I'm not mad". I responded saying "I went out" Steve sighed saying "yeah no shit" I spoke saying "I just went out with a friend-" Steve cut me off saying "who" I huffed saying "you never ask me these many questions when I go out now why all of a sudden do you need to know". Steve responded saying "well that's when you go to the grocery store and I'm gonna assume you didn't go to the grocery store" I sighed saying "I went out with a friend okay". Steve responded saying "who just tell me who" I huffed again saying "it was Phillip okay I went out for a drink with Phillip" Steve scoffed saying "you did what" I responded saying "I just wanted to know why he quit and it was nice talking to someone who knows what I've been through and understands-" Steve cut me off saying "what are you talking about I mean you got a promotion why can't you just accept that and move on where did you two even go". I responded saying "we went to the hideaway-" Steve again cut me off saying "okay so let me get this straight you went to a bar with some guy". I sighed saying "it's not what it sounds like okay I mean I just need someone to understand" Steve responded saying "understands what" I responded saying "understands what it like to be single parent" Steve huffed again saying "but your not single I uh this is like the support group you don't need that anymore-" I cut him off saying "well I fell like I am , I needed a break tonight okay I need a break sometimes , I love you I do but I do everything" Steve scoffed saying. "oh bullshit I help too-" I cut him of saying "with the fun stuff , you make all the forts you bring home a puppy you let him watch as much tv as he wants and let him have whatever he wants. I do everything else , I get him dressed everyday I get him up for school , I help him with homework and clean his room. I make sure his teeth are brushed I'm the adult I'm the responsible one who makes sure the dishes are clean and the laundry is done. I thought I could count on you to do the grocery and help keep the apartment clean but I guess not , you make your mother do it your own mother. I didn't tell you but it bothers me okay I'm not sure were ready to have another baby if it still feels like I'm taking care of one except he's twenty three years old". Steve sighed saying "oh don't you dare you were the one who was out with some guy doing god know what" I responded saying "excuse me I can't believe you'd I don't think I can do this right now this is to much" Steve huffed saying. "You can't do this , I can't do this you throw all of this at me and just wanna move on from this" I sighed saying "I'm sorry okay I think the past few weeks have just caught up" he responded saying "we can't do this Y/n we can't just let all this build up and take it out on each other". I nodded saying "we can talk about this later" Steve responded saying "no Y/n we can't this is what we always do , I'm serious okay I mean what I said I wanna start working on us so why don't you go and get cleaned up and I'll make us something to eat and we can talk". Before I could respond Jackson walked into the kitchen , he spoke saying "Mama" I responded saying "hi sweet pea did you have a good nap-" he cut me off saying "Mommy I have more questions". Steve spoke saying "buddy it's late we can do this later , you need to get to bed" Jackson sighed saying "but I just woke up" Steve responded saying "Jackson I said were not talking about this" Jackson huffed before I spoke up saying "actually I think the three of us should talk as a family"

Mr. Yl/n and I had just finished eating he spoke saying "so my mother called me saying the two of you talked is that right" I nodded silently before he added "and she tells me you have a ring is that true". I nodded again saying "yes sir" I then went to pull the ring out of my pocket as he spoke again saying "I don't need to see it I believe my mother" I nodded as he spoke again saying "their she is" I turned to see Mrs. Yl/n walking into the restaurant I sighed as she walked over to the table and took the seat besides Mr. Yl/n , she spoke saying "Did you already order for me" Mr. Yl/n responded saying "they'll bring you a slice a cheery pie and a coffee with cream" she nodded saying "so what is this about" Mr. Yl/n responded saying "Steve wanted to talk to us , Steve what did you want to talk to us". I responded saying "oh okay well I wanted to talk to you about uh asking for your blessing to marry Y/n-" Mrs. Yl/n cut me off saying "you know what Steve you can have my blessing but I want you to know just what your getting into. Y/n is very independent she's always been for god sakes she started walking at ten months old she's always been , she's very messy and unorganized she's picky about her laundry and she never makes up her bed. She has way to many pairs of socks most of them she can't even find the matches for , she bites her nails she twenty three years old and is still sleeping with a care bear. She watches way to many of those scary movies , she still thinks she's going to be a writer and she's the most care free person I've ever met she's a mess" Mr. Yl/n responded saying. "Diane she's not a mess , she's my little princess I'd agree that she is a bit messy and she's very uh she's different but you know what you know what Steve let me ask you a question do you know what I do for a living Steve" I responded saying "your a cop" he nodded saying. "Good and since I'm a cop it means I have access to police records meaning I have access to yours" Mr. Yl/n put a envelope on the table before he opened it up , he spoke saying "is it true that in August of nineteen eighty two you were arrested from dinning and dashing at Benny's" I nodded before he added "and in November of nineteen eighty three you were caught both vandalizing the Hawke cinema and for getting into a fight behind it" I nodded again as he spoke saying "and in January of nineteen eighty six you were also arrested for public intoxication is that true too" I sighed as he spoke saying "and you have had a total of eleven parking tickets , two tickets for speeding and one ticket for public littering is that right". I sighed saying "well-" he cut me off saying "that makes you in my book at least a petty criminal and my daughter isn't marrying a petty criminal do you understand me" I frowned as he spoke again saying "I mean seriously you think all of this sets a good example for my grandson cause I certainty don't your pathetic , this is just stupid I mean you had a what seven month old baby and you were out grafting , you had a three year old and you had to spend the right in county jail and don't get me started on all your fights you've been in when are you gonna realize this is going to follow you everywhere which means it's gonna follow Y/n everywhere. I just huh mark my words your never going to marry her and don't think because you have Jim's permission or my mothers that's gonna mean something to her cause it won't. One day she is going to realize their is someone out their better for her and better for Jackson and she's going to figure out what a horrible mistake she made deciding to be with you and you are just gonna have to wait for it do you understand me , you better not ever break her heart cause that's gonna be your last mistake you ever make. I am not letting you take my daughter down with you , you've already ruined her life enough and I'm not letting you anymore your done and don't think giving my wife and I a stupid anniversy card is going to do a damn thing cause it won't you" Mrs. Yl/n responded saying. "Jack just let him at this point I don't even think she'd say yes I've already told you she'll find someone else I told you I should've set her up with someone I work with cause so far the guys you've set her up have been tools". I spoke up saying "I'm sorry I'm confused" Mrs. Yl/n responded saying "oh you didn't think my daughter just stood around a waited for you to come back , she's not a little puppy dog like that one you bought her I mean really a puppy you think that was going to work. Anyways she didn't sit around a wait , she went out she dated some. You can ask her Steve but she's not going to say yes I'd say she'll say no but we don't like you , I don't like you Steve you broke my daughters heart she'll never forgive you she might say she has but she hasn't. She probably never will , you ruined her life you put her through so much pain , you made her cry herself to sleep you made her go through childbirth alone-" Mr. Yl/n cut Mrs. Yl/n off saying "excuse me you did what , Diane she told me-" Mrs. Yl/n cut him off saying "she did that to protect him she told everyone that he was their but he wasn't he was a stupid kid". I responded saying "I was scared , scared I'd lose her-" Mrs. Yl/n cut me off saying "oh save it nobody believes you not even Y/n believes you" I sighed before she added "don't you see what were trying to do , were not just saving Y/n but were saving you from making a mistake , I'm sorry but she's not wife material , she can't cook , she can't keep a plant alive not even fake ones , she's a somewhat okay mom I mean your making a mistake Steve , I mean she's so dull so-" I cut Mrs. Yl/n off saying "but she's you daughter" Mrs. Yl/n responded saying "I know but she's still so uh she's just so lost , she a tomboy and never dresses like a grown adults she's oh she's just so sad. I mean she keeps her hair like she just got out of bed , her sneakers are dirty she has never had the control to stay on a diet she's just I just can't believe she's really my daughter uh just end it before she gets hurt".

"So" Colleen said before she added "when are you guys gonna decorate your tree". I shrugged saying "hopefully this weekend , have you guys got yours up" Colleen nodded saying "we got ours the day after thanksgiving but Matt thinks we need one for the dinning room , I guess that's something his mom always did". I nodded before she added "I wish I could've met her , Matt talks about her all the time , he says Emmie reminds him of her and he tells me she would've liked me". I nodded again saying "she would've Colleen , she really would've" Colleen responded saying "anyway uh so have you done any Christmas shopping yet" I shrugged saying "not really I don't even know what I'm going to get anybody yet I have a few ideas for Jackson but none for Steve yet" she responded saying "do you know what he's getting you" I shrugged before she added. "So what are you gonna do about your car" I shrugged again saying "I don't know I'll probably try and find a used one but it'll take away from our trip" Colleen responded saying "what trip" I responded saying "well Steve and I were gonna take a trip just the two of us next weekend before Christmas it's kinda like are gift to each other if that makes sense". Colleen nodded saying "that's so sweet , where are you gonna go" I responded saying "probably the same as we did last year , we went to Indianapolis and got a nice hotel room and were able to do most of our Christmas shopping" Colleen spoke saying "that's really sweet Y/n so what did you get him last year" I responded saying "I uh put together some of the pictures I had taken on a trip we took last summer , uh we took a couple weeks last year and uh went to some national parks did some hiking and swam a lot and stuff anyways I took the pictures and put it in a book with some mementos and he really liked it". Colleen responded saying "wow you guys are perfect" I shook my head saying "trust me were not perfect" Colleen responded saying "I seriously doubt that". Before I could responded Emma tottered over she babbled to herself as Colleen spoke saying "so what are your Christmas plans" I responded saying "were gonna spend Christmas with Steve's family" Colleen responded saying "oh that'll be fun were gonna just stay at home and have a family Christmas" I nodded saying "oh okay so when are we all doing Christmas together as a group" she responded saying "you know how about new years eve we were gonna get together anyways" I nodded saying "yeah that sounds like a great idea" Colleen nodded again before saying "okay so have you decided what your going to wear tonight".

I pulled into my parents driveway before getting out of my car and walking out of the car , I walked up the front steps before knocking on the front door before it opened with Dad on the other side. "What are you doing here why aren't you at work-" I cut him off saying where's Mom" Dad sighed saying "come in" I walked into the house before he gestured towards the living room , I walked in to see Mom sitting on the couch folding laundry "your not sick" I said. Mom responded saying "no I'm not sick" Dad walked into the living room saying "she was sick earlier I just wanted to stay home and make sure she was okay". Mom sighed saying "I wasn't sick I just I got a little light headed I was probably just dehydrated I was like this when I was preg- I've gotten this before I'm fine okay I'm fine you two don't need to hover me I'm a grown women" Nanny walked into the living room saying "oh no that wasn't lightheaded you fainted Jenifer" I spoke saying "you fainted". Mom sighed before I added "are you sick like really really-" Mom cut me off saying "I'm not sick I feel fine I'm just a little tired that's all okay" Nanny shook her head saying "I don't know Jenifer you've been acting off , you haven't been drinking , you ate all the cookies I made yesterday and you hate my cooking and then you fainted I mean what's wrong" Mom huffed as Nanny spoke saying. "You need to go and find out because-" Mom cut Nanny off saying "I'm not telling you again I feel fine now leave me alone" Mom picked up the laundry basket before walking out of the living room. Nanny spoke saying "oh goodness she's got an attitude doesn't she" Dad spoke up saying "would you two just lay off he she's exhausted , she hasn't slept in a week , her backs killing her and she feels awful okay stop bugging her alright". Nanny responded saying "eh I don't buy it I think she's fine" Dad sighed saying "well she will be once this stage- uh stuff passes okay" Nanny and I nodded before Dad spoke saying "well I better go and leave to get Jackson" I responded saying "it's fine I'll uh go I'm just gonna take a personal day" Dad nodded before I walked out of the living room before walking out of the house to get Jackson.

"What did you do" Matt said as Y/n walked away from the table , I shrugged saying "nothing we've been fine lately I don't know what's wrong" Matt shook his head saying "oh no you did something you've always done something". I sighed saying "I don't know okay we were fine and then were talking in the car and now she's all quiet" Colleen spoke up saying "what'd you two talk about cause it seems to have upset my best friend". I responded saying "well uh I went to lunch with her parents today-" Matt cut me off saying "oh no you did not" I nodded saying "and uh well I've been trying to get her Dad's blessing-" this time Colleen cut me off saying "your going to propose". Matt sighed saying "will you keep your voice down god you cannot keep a secret" Colleen responded saying "yes I can your the one who can't keep secrets" Matt shook his head before saying "anyway what'd they say". I shrugged saying "that's the thing , I'm confused I can't tell if they want me to or not , I mean first they say yes then her Mom bad mouths her and then her dad tells me what a louser I am". Matt nodded saying "well how'd you ask" I sighed saying "well I've tried to asking nicely and then I kinda begged and this time I just panicked and kept my mouth shut" Matt responded saying "you know what it doesn't matter what you say okay I told Colleen's father I wanted to marry her because I liked the way her ass looks in her jeans-" Colleen cut him off saying "Matthew". Matt shrugged saying "well I do anyway it doesn't matter what you said or what they said it matters what she says and I'm pretty sure she'd say yes but what happened in the car". I sighed saying "well uh I guess her Dad called her and she started to ask about the lunch and what we talked about and I lied to her cause I didn't want her knowing even she kinda already knows". Matt sighed saying "you told her your going to propose" I sighed saying "she was in the hospital she thought I was gonna dump her what was I supposed to say". Matt again sighed saying "well I don't know what to say other then you dumb- oh shit here she comes everybody relax and Colleen don't tattle on us".

Chapter warning : language , Angst and some family drama and some mentions of smut

Bambi and I stood out on the small patio attached to the apartment before she spoke saying "do you wanna sit" I nodded before taking the seat across from Bambi before she spoke again saying "the place is really nice" I nodded again before she added. "how's work going" I responded saying "it's fine" she spoke saying "your dad said you were up for a promotion" I nodded saying "yeah but I don't know if I'm gonna get it or not" Bambi shook her head saying. "Y/n Ym/n Yl/n don't you say that now you said the same thing when you sent that essay into that contest and what happened you won. You said the same thing about becoming a mother and now your the best mom , honey you gotta start to believe in yourself" I nodded before she added. "So uh when were you gonna tell me you and Steve had gotten back together" I sighed saying "I really planned on telling you I did but-" Bambi cut me off saying "oh I wouldn't even think about lying to me young lady now I don't want to yell but how many times do I have to repeat myself I don't like Steve , Y/n you can do so much better you really could you don't need to settle". I responded saying "we got back together a few weeks before Jackson went to kindergarten" she shrugged saying "that's not what your mother told me" I sighed saying "why do I have a feeling she didn't tell you the truth". Bambi sighed saying "oh she's a mess , she told me their was some other girl Amanda or Annie-" I cut Bambi off saying "Alison , that's uh long story" she nodded saying. "Anyways so she tells me he dumps this girl and then boom your back together" I sighed saying "well uh we weren't back together we just-" Bambi cut me off saying "jumped each others bones" I scoffed saying "Bambi". She chuckled saying "Y/n I have four kids okay I know how it goes" I sighed saying "fine we did that and then we took things much more slowly and tried working out the issues we had before" she nodded saying "and then you got back together and forgot to mention this to your favorite grandmother". I sighed as she added " Y/n I uh just think maybe you jumped into things to fast I mean your already living together" before I could responded Katie walked out onto the patio with Ollie in her hands and Buster trotting behind , Katie sat next to me while Buster took the seat next to Bambi and rested his head on her lap before she spoke saying. "Oh my goodness aren't you just so sweet" Katie shook her head saying "I think he's a bit to jumpy" Bambi shook her head saying "and I think you should be nicer to your sister and tell that lazy slob in the kitchen to get out" Katie sighed before I spoke saying. "Patrick's still here" Bambi nodded before I added "why is he here Katie" Katie sighed again saying "because I've decided to forgive him and before you give me any crap about it you took Steve back and look at what he put you through" I rolled my eyes before Bambi spoke saying "I can't believe you both got yourselves into the same situation , you know for two people who don't get along you sure have a lot in common". Katie scoffed saying "please I'm nothing like her" Bambi shrugged saying "I wouldn't be to sure of that now I'm going over to dinner tonight with for your parents anniversary do either of you wanna join me" Katie nodded saying "I'll be their but Patrick's gonna watch Ollie" I scoffed before Katie added "oh don't you start with me the first few times you left Steve alone with Jackson it was a disaster" I shook my head before Bambi spoke saying "that's enough you two now your both going to dinner tonight and your bring both the boys so I can spend time with my great grandsons before I leave understand" I nodded before Bambi added "and do you mind me asking what the disaster was when you left him alone".

I pulled into the driveway of my parents house before walking up to the front door and walking into the house , I walked into the kitchen to see Jackson sitting in his high chair eating some animal crackers. I walked over and spoke saying "hey buddy I missed you" he didn't respond and instead continued to munch on Animal crackers before he offered one to me. I took it to me before saying "did you have fun with Mimi" he again didn't respond , Mom walked into the kitchen saying "how was school" I nodded saying "fine" she responded saying "did you send in your essay" I shook my head saying "I've got Y/n looking over it" she nodded saying "okay so your costume is almost finished I just have a few more things I gotta get for it but on the other hand Jackson's is finally finished" I nodded before she added "okay I have to go run some errands your sure your fine with him" I nodded again saying "yeah it's fine were just gonna hang out before I pick Nancy up". Mom sighed saying "honey I know your happy with Nancy and I'm happy that your happy but I think sometimes you need to spend one on one time with Jackson". I responded saying "I know but uh I'm just gonna hang out with him and then we'll leave in a little bit to get Nancy and then I gotta drop him off with Y/n". Mom nodded saying "okay so about the costume situation is Y/n working on hers because since I'm almost done with your I could probably make her-" I cut mom off saying "mom what are you talking about". She sighed saying "you and Y/n's costumes I don't really get them because they don't really coordinate with Jackson's but-" I cut Mom off again saying "Mom the costume isn't for me to take Jackson trick or treating it's uh it's for a party" she shook her head saying "I don't know if that's a good idea I think you should go trick or treating with Jackson , honey he's almost two this is the first time he gets to go a trick or treat and get the whole experience and your gonna miss it for what a dumb party. I just don't want you to look back at this one day and wish you were Jackson I don't want you upset" I sighed saying "Mom I'm not gonna be upset okay he isn't even two he won't remember" she sighed saying "okay on your first Halloween your father couldn't get off work so Nanny and I took you and Polly trick or treating , she was four and you were almost a eleven months old you were snoopy and woodstock and not to brag but your costumes were fantastic I spent days making them but that's not the point. When we got home from trick or treating your sister and I were going through the candy and she started teasing you with some M&M's and when she wouldn't let you have them your held onto the coffee table and you let go and took some steps and then you took some more and then before I knew it you were walking. So then when your father came home and saw you walking around chasing after your sister he was devastated because he missed your first steps". I sighed saying "what does that have to do with this , Jackson's already walking" Mom frowned saying "Steve you missed so much already don't miss anymore because one day you will regret it and it will haunt you do you understand" I nodded before she added "I better get going I'll pick dinner up on the way home never mind you won't be here". Mom walked over and kissed the top of Jackson's head before saying "okay Mimi will you see you tomorrow by Pumpkin" Mom kissed my cheek before walking out of the kitchen and out the front door.

"Oh goodness look at the time" Bambi said before she added "your mother wanted us their early we better get going" I responded saying "I didn't finish with my story" Katie sighed saying "yeah no offence but I was getting sleepy listening to that" I rolled my eyes before we walked back into the apartment. I walked back in before hearing "mama" I looked to see Jackson running through the front door , he jumped into my arms before he added "are you okay mama" I nodded saying "I am much better now that your here". Steve walked in before saying "hey are you okay" I responded saying "I'm fine" he sighed saying "but you-" I cut Steve off saying "I said I'm okay I uh I have to go over to my parents it's their anniversary tonight". Steve nodded saying "I'm gonna stay home if that's okay" I responded saying "yeah that's fine I guess your gonna have to hang out with Patrick" Steve sighed saying "yeah I guess so are you gonna be okay with your parents" I nodded saying "yeah it's fine it'll be fine uh we can talk later though after he's in bed" Steve responded saying "yeah that sounds good" I nodded again before saying "okay Jackson how about you go get changed and then we can leave for dinner". I put Jackson down before Steve spoke saying "do you need me to drive you" I shook my head saying "no it's okay either Bambi or Katie will drive" Steve responded saying "Y/n the couch doesn't pull out where's Bambi going" Bambi walked in and spoke saying "don't worry I've got a hotel room I wouldn't want to bother you two" I shook my head saying "it's no problem Nanny I could bunk with Jackson and Steve could sleep on the couch". Steve sighed before Bambi added "again I don't want to bother so are you ready" I responded saying "yeah I'll just go freshen up real quick" Bambi nodded saying "well let me know when your ready" I nodded before Bambi walked back into the kitchen before Steve spoke saying "are we okay" I nodded before he added "listen I didn't tell you about Patrick because I knew you'd be upset okay I'm sorry Y/n I thought he'd be gone-". I cut Steve off saying "it's fine I don't want to argue with you right now we can talk later" I walked down the hall before walking into my bedroom to get changed for dinner with my parents.

"So" Bambi said before she added "Jeffrey where did you go to school" Jeffrey responded saying "Notre Dame" Bambi nodded saying "and where did you go Y/n" before I could respond Mom spoke up saying. "Oh Y/n didn't go to collage , she was taking some community collage classes but she dropped out" Bambi sighed saying "what about you Anna , where did you go". Anna responded saying "Purdue" Bambi nodded saying "what do you do again dear" Anna spoke saying "well right now I'm a receptionist at a vet clinic but uh when the baby is born I'll start staying home" Bambi nodded again saying "you know Jeffrey I don't think I've seen your house" Jeffrey responded saying. "Well Anna and I haven't found a house yet but where uh where looking but after new years were gonna move in here for a little while so Anna has help with the baby". Bambi responded saying "oh you know I like Y/n's place , it's cute it's very homey and I like that little patio" Mom rolled her eyes before Jeffrey spoke up saying "you mean Steve's place". Bambi shook her head saying "oh were being technically , so then if that's Steve's place this must be your fathers house isn't that right Diane" Mom spoke again saying "Jack tell Y/n what happened at work" Dad shrugged before she added "about Phil". Dad nodded saying "right uh Y/n I was talking to Phil at work today and he's still waiting for you to call him back" I sighed saying "Dad could we not talk about this please" Dad nodded saying "hey Jackson buddy your book you left here last time you stayed over is upstairs why don't you go get that so you don't forget it". Jackson nodded before running out of the dinning room before Dad spoke again saying "his feeling are really hurt , he had a really good time and you didn't call him do you know what a bad guy I look like having a daughter that acts like that". I rolled my eyes again saying "dad he's awful he spent the entire night whining and talking about himself and staring at my chest" dad sighed before Bambi spoke saying "Phil as in Phil Callahan isn't he the kid you used to tease in high school for having a nightlight" Dad sighed saying "okay I didn't tease him but-" Bambi cut him off saying "and isn't he older then you" Dad nodded saying "yes but-" Bambi cut him off again saying "Jack come on you would rather have your daughter with him then with Steve and that's saying something because I don't like him either for Christ sake that man is twenty years older then she is" Jeffrey spoke saying "so what she's older then Steve". Bambi responded saying "your kidding I didn't know that by how much Y/n" I responded saying "only a few months" Jeffrey sighed saying "you know he might not say it but it does bother Steve he just won't tell you cause he's a man , he's doesn't like that your older he doesn't like that you make more money or-" Mom cut Jeffrey off saying. "Oh my god do you have another tattoo" I sighed before she added "my god how many do you have now" I sighed again saying "I got this one a while ago and this would be my forth". She shook her head saying "my god that's too many , I mean look at the other moms at Jackson's school do they look like this , no they don't. They look like moms and act like them too". I rolled my eyes before Jackson ran back into the dinning room saying "I found my book mommy" I nodded saying "that's great sweet pea why don't you go put it by Mommy's bag so we don't forget it again". Mom shook her head before Jackson ran back out of the dinning room as mom spoke saying "you know Y/n you shouldn't let him do that have anything special or else if he doesn't have it he'll have a meltdown I mean look what happened the last time we went on a trip you forgot his blanket and he had a meltdown" I sighed saying "he was two mom" she shook her head saying. "I don't care okay please don't tell me you still let him carry it around with him" I rolled my eyes before Jackson walked back in and took the seat next to me before Katie spoke up saying "I agree mom , I mean wat are they gonna do when they have another baby" Mom sighed saying "what happened to that speech about how you were never going to have another baby again not after you almost-" I cut mom off saying "enough mom I'm not talking about this" Katie spoke up again saying "if you think that was bad you should see their place , no organization and Steve hoards everything that closet in their guest bedroom is a mess. I mean not only that but they've got even more junk under the bed and I mean their bedroom is a mess and they don't hide stuff very well , I mean their nightstands were full of-" I cut Katie off saying "why were you in our bedroom" she shrugged saying "I'm just a concerned sister and don't get me started on the amount of-" I cut Katie off again saying "that's not being concerned that's being nosy". Katie frowned saying "well Y/n I'm worried about you I mean handcuffs seriously that's so-" Katie was cut off by dad saying "Girls that's enough you girls argue like you did when you were kids , I mean your mother and I never thought you two would quiet fighting over the damn baby doll" Katie scoffed saying "she's the one who lost it". Dad shook his head saying "enough your grown adults quit it" I sighed before Bambi spoke saying "so does anybody got any plans for the holidays , Jeffrey are you going with Anna's family" Jeffrey shook his head before she added "what about you Y/n" I responded saying "I think were going to stay with Steve's parent's they always have a nice Christmas and uh his grandmothers in town" Mom rolled her eyes before Bambi spoke saying. "oh how is Lucille I haven't seen her in a while" I nodded saying "she's good she's really good uh she's seeing someone I think-" Mom cut me off saying "and how long was her husband in the grave before that happened" I scoffed saying "mom why would you say that" Bambi spoke saying "because she's awful , so who's ready for desert" before I could respond the phone in the kitchen rang , Dad stood up before he called to me. I walked into the kitchen before he spoke saying "it's Matthew" I nodded before taking the phone from dad , I spoke into the phone as Dad walked out of the kitchen "Hello" I said before Matt responded saying "hey Y/n it's me I wanted to see how your doing". I nodded saying "I'm doing good thanks for asking" he responded saying "yeah no problem I was also wanted to let you know that there's the new book coming in and they needed help on one of their chapters and dad gave them your name so if you could come by tomorrow and pick the stuff up-" I cut Matt off saying "that'd be great". Matt responded saying "uh Y/n there's uh one more thing uh it's not really a chapter it's uh just a section" I nodded again saying "that's fine" Matt sighed saying "Y/n it uh it's a kinda an intimate section of the book" I shrugged saying "what do you mean" Matt sighed again saying "it's uh well um it's weird to talk about over the phone" I sighed saying "Matt how long have we known each other" Matt responded saying "fine okay Y/n it's a love scene , they need you to write a love scene okay look I'll send over the first book and the few chapters leading up to it okay". I huffed saying "that's fine I guess uh how uh-" Matt cut me off saying "I hate to say it but it's gotta be a raunchy I mean this would be huge for the company if we got this deal" I sighed saying "okay I'll pick it up tomorrow" he responded saying "thanks for this Y/n this is gonna be huge for the company okay" I nodded saying "it's fine Matt uh I'll see you tomorrow". I walked back into the dinning room and sat down in disbelief of what Matt had to say , I mean I had always dreamed of my big break but I never imagined it to be quite like this , "who was on the phone" Bambi said , I responded saying "it was uh Matt" Mom spoke up saying "what did he want" I responded again saying "it was uh something for work , just another project" Bambi spoke again saying. "Honey I know you've told me before but what is it you do again" I nodded saying "I'm an assistant editor , I sometimes have to go through edit stories and sometimes I'm sent home early rough drafts of books and I have to read them and sometimes I help new authors pitch their stories". Bambi nodded before Dad spoke up saying "you know that actually sounds pretty interesting" Bambi spoke again saying "where is this" I responded saying "Matt's dad Mr. Paterson runs it , it's just a start up and very local but we have a pretty big book deal coming up that would be great for the company" Bambi nodded saying "and how is Matt doing , it's been what fifteen years since Emily passed". I responded saying "he's good , uh he got married last year to Colleen and they have a little girl they named her after his mom" Bambi responded saying "isn't that lovely , bless him he always such a sweet kid now is Colleen the one who's allergic to cats" I nodded before she added "oh she was a sweet kid to , what about Paige how is she and her mom doing". I frowned saying "uh Paige's mom passed away a couple years ago , Paige uh took it hard but she's doing better she got married and now her and Alex are having a baby". Bambi sighed saying "oh poor Paige now what about Stewart how is he" Mom chuckled before Bambi added "what's so funny Diane" Mom responded saying "oh Y/n and Stewart is a really funny story , do you wanna tell it or should I Y/n" I rolled my eyes saying "Stewart and I dated for a bit and it didn't work out because we decided we were better off as friends but he's good he has a job at the paper he designs the comics for it he even had a internship for Disney for a little while". Mom rolled her eyes before Bambi gasped saying "that's amazing , is he seeing anyone" I nodded saying "he uh just got back together with an old girlfriend she's also Jackson's teacher" Bambi responded saying "and Jackson how are you liking school". Jackson spoke up saying "I like it , I like reading" Bambi nodded saying "you know what when your mommy was your age she loved reading too , she would practically read all day". Mom responded saying "well Y/n how's he doing I mean Katie told me he was falling behind" I shook my head as she added "well she said he has to stay extra once a week what's that all about aren't you worried". I responded saying "oh uh well his teacher noticed he was falling a little behind in math so every Friday he stays an extra hour with a few other kids who were falling behind and she said it's perfectly normal for some to be falling behind , math isn't easy for everyone" Mom rolled her eyes before I added "it's really no big deal Steve had to do the same thing". Mom shook her head saying "why does that not surprise me that he has something to do with this , I was always afraid this would happen that he'd find some way to screw the kid up with his damn genetics , I mean the brown eyes and the freckles are one thing but between this and the girl problem I don't think I can handle it". I shook my head saying "what no what girl problem" , Mom chuckled saying "sweetheart he'd flirt with every single girl that would walk right by him , how many girlfriends has he had". Anna spoke up saying "it's true Y/n he used to flirt with me all the time even when I was in a faithful committed relationship with your brother he'd still bother me". I sighed saying "and what does this have to do with Jackson" Dad spoke up saying "you know what I'm gonna clear these plates and get desert uh Jackson why don't you help me so Mom can talk with Nana and Bambi" Jackson shrugged before Mom spoke up saying "and there he goes with the attitude I mean between this and the eye rolling I still don't know why your not concerned" I shook my head before saying "Jackson why don't you go help pop pop okay" Jackson nodded before he stood up and walked into the kitchen with my dad before I spoke again saying "okay so what this girl problem because I'm pretty sure-" Mom cut me off saying "Donna's daughter I don't like her I don't think given what happened to you that you should be letting him hang near girls at a young age". I huffed saying "oh my god this is ridiculous he's fine , he's perfectly fine he's almost seven years old and you still judge whether or not I'm raising him right okay he's fine he doesn't have a problem or an attitude he's just perfect the way he is and he isn't to old for his blanket and he's not to old to call me Mommy he's fine stop bothering him I'm not having a repeat of thanksgiving understand". Mom scoffed before Bambi spoke saying "what happened at Thanksgiving" Mom responded saying "Jackson had a fit like a two year old and cried on Y/n's lap" I huffed saying "yeah right after you bad mouthed his father , don't you see Steve's trying he's really trying to have a relationship with you guys but you treat him like a stranger you treated him the same way you did me .Do you wonder why I moved out as soon as I turned eighteen because of you that's why" Mom sighed saying "well then fine that's fine Y/n but when you became a grandmother in ten years you can't say I didn't warn you" I rolled my eyes before dad and Jackson walked back into the dinning room , Jackson walked over and pulled himself onto my lap before mom spoke saying "Jackson sweetie how old are you" Jackson responded saying "I'm six" Mom nodded saying "then I think your old enough to sit in a chair by yourself and not on your Mom's lap like a baby " Jackson frowned before getting off my lap and sitting back in the chair he was sitting in earlier. The tension between my Mom and I was thick and I knew it was all going to spill out but I tried my best to keep it together , I spoke saying "hey dad where uh did you get the charm for my necklace" dad responded saying "oh that a little jewelry shop downtown why did something happen" I shook my head saying "no I just wanted to get another one and I wanted it to match Jackson's" dad sighed as Mom spoke up saying "well I was wondering why you've put on weight and know I've got it figured out your-" I quickly cut Mom off saying "I'm not I just wanted to get one for Steve" dad sighed before the tension between my mom and I became even worse , Bambi must've sensed the tension she spoke saying "so Jackson how's you puppy" Jackson nodded saying "good he's really silly" Dad responded saying "hey why haven't we seen the dog yet" Mom spoke up saying "because I don't want it in my house" I sighed before she added "have you started to crate train him yet" I shook my head as dad spoke saying "where'd you even get the dog from there's not a shelter here" I responded saying. "Steve got him he uh was leaving work and found a couple puppies outside and he got them checked out and then Polly took one and he brought home Buster" Dad nodded before Mom spoke up saying "did he make sure they weren't somebody's and that they were lost" I responded again saying "I guess the vet checked and figured he was a stray". Mom nodded saying "and what kind of name is Buster" I sighed saying "I don't know mom Steve picked it out" Bambi spoke saying "well I think it's cute he's a really sweet dog" Katie sighed saying "I don't know he chewed up a couple of my socks , I mean he's cute but you have got to get the dog trained and in a crate I mean it looks at my baby like he's a rotisserie chicken" I sighed saying "I'm sorry I should've told you Buster likes socks and I promise you he wouldn't even hurt a fly he's fine he has a dog bed but most the time he's either sleeps in Jackson's room or in the bed with Steve and I-" Mom cut me off saying "you let it sleep in your bed" I nodded before she added "I don't understand how your fine with that then again I don't understand why your with Steve". I huffed saying "why do you have to bring this up again I'm not talking about this" Mom shook her head saying "I don't get it he so tense and he doesn't have a sense of humor-" I cut her off saying. "That's because you tease him your not laughing with him your laughing at him okay your so called jokes on Thanksgiving weren't funny" Mom sighed saying "oh lighten up I was just bugging him it's no big deal" I shook my head saying "you know mom it is a really big deal , he's quit drinking and that's a big accomplishment" she rolled her eyes saying "oh right and he's still smoking isn't he". I sighed saying "yes but he's working on that okay" Mom shook her head before Bambi spoke saying "you know I think I might've misjudged him that's truly an amazing thing to be able to do that and it's a good example for Jackson". I nodded before she added "do you mind me asking why he chose to" I responded saying "he knew someone who had trouble with it and he saw first hand what it does to a person and he decided to take that out of his life" Mom rolled her eyes again saying "oh I'm sure she was more then a friend" I responded saying "I never said it was a she mother" she chuckled saying "I mean I'm so your my daughter and all but I don't get you , you were fine with Stewart one minute and the next you jump back into bed with him I mean I'm sorry but the hoping back and forth and jumping into bed with any guy it's really no shock you had Jackson at sixteen". Shit , I huffed before saying "I do not jump into bed with every guy I go out with" Mom responded saying "oh really what about Henry" I shook my head saying "I asked you not to talk about him anymore and this is not a conversation we need to have in front of Jackson" mom chuckled saying "oh my god you've got to be kidding me he doesn't know , you didn't I'm sorry why wouldn't you tell him" I sighed before she added "Jackson let me tell you something your mommy has been lying to you , your mommy had you at sixteen years old. Your why she didn't go to college , your why she'll never have a normal life your what has caused her to end up stuck with your father you know what it's his fault to-" I cut my mom off saying "enough mother" I turned to see Jackson beside me with tears in his eyes before I could say anything he ran up the stairs before I heard a door slam.

Matt walked back into the living room before saying "she likes you" I shrugged before he added "Emma , you know you guys are open to watching her whenever you want". I nodded before Matt took Emma from my arms before saying "are you guys having anymore or-" I cut him off saying "I don't know we were but we haven't talked about since what happened so I'm not sure I mean I want to but I just don't know". Matt nodded saying "yeah I get it but I mean you do know what your signing up for right , this can't be like last time where your fully invested until you lose interest okay and I'm mean that's if your lucky I don't want to scare you but it took Collen and I almost four years to have Emma and I love my daughter but it's a lot" I nodded before he added. "What about Y/n how does she feel about this" I shrugged saying "I really don't know" Matt nodded again saying "well you should talk about this because this is a big decision". Before I could respond Colleen walked trough the front door , she walked into the living room and took Emma from Matt before saying "so did you tell him" Matt responded saying "oh yeah uh Y/n was chosen to write a small section in this book" I responded saying. "That's great" Matt nodded saying "yeah uh and you know what I'll let her tell you that" I nodded before Colleen spoke saying "and tell him the other thing" Matt nodded again saying "oh and uh were free on Thursday night for dinner , Stewart and Harper have agreed to watch Emma so is that alright with you guys". I responded saying "yeah I uh guess so I'll have to talk with Y/n" Colleen spoke saying "sounds good oh we've also decided for new years it'll be here if that's okay" I nodded saying "that's good" Colleen responded saying "great oh and you can invite your sister and David if you want" I nodded saying "yeah I uh should probably get going" Matt and Colleen nodded before she spoke saying "you know what I'll walk you out" Colleen handed Emma to Matt before we walked out of the house. I walked up to my car before Colleen spoke saying "are you and Y/n okay" I nodded before she added "be honest with me are you two really okay" I responded saying "yes were huh okay I don't really know I think we need to talk about some things" Collen nodded saying "well I hope you guys can work it out for Jackson's sake I didn't tell her this but he's much happier with you two together and I know you don't like her parents and they don't like you but you should've been their tonight you need to try if not for Y/n then for Jackson" I nodded saying "yeah I uh guess so" Colleen nodded again saying "well I'll see you Thursday tell Y/n she needs to call me" I nodded before saying my goodbyes to Colleen before I knew what I needed to do and where I needed to go.

Y/n's P.O.V I stood up from the table and walked up the stairs , I was pissed I couldn't believe Mom had said those things but I was also mad at myself. I never really told Jackson because he never asked me and I thought that when he did figure out he'd be okay and we could have an honest and open conversation about it but I also imagined he'd be sixteen when this happened not six. I knocked on what used to be the door to my old bedroom before I spoke saying "Jackson it's mommy can I come in" Jackson didn't respond , I went to open the door before realizing he had locked it. I wondered if this was how my mom felt when I her and I used to argue and I'd lock myself in my bedroom , I shook that thought away before saying "Jackson I'm really sorry okay I should've told you can I just come in so we can talk". Jackson again ignored me before I heard steps coming from the stairs , I turned to see Katie standing their she spoke saying "are you mad at me" , I loved my sister I really did but she always asked this even if we weren't arguing or I wasn't mad she always asked me this. "Are you sure" she said which was always the follow up question to the one she asked before but this wasn't like those other times I actually was mad at my sister , I shook my head before she added "I feel like your mad" I shook my head saying "I don't want to talk about this". Katie sighed saying "don't get upset with me but I feel like your mad at me , is this about what Mom said" I shook my head saying "it isn't important okay my son is upset and-" she cut me off saying "Y/n I'm sorry but Mom's right , you have way to many tattoos and you baby Jackson I mean he's to old to be still calling you and Steve mommy and daddy". I rolled my eyes saying "why did you do it why you'd go through are stuff , are personal stuff" Katie responded saying "because you won't talk to me okay Y/n I know something is wrong but you won't tell me , why not". I sighed saying "nothing is wrong okay I'm happy the way my life is but you hurt me everything I told you did you call mom up right after and tell her" Katie nodded sayin "yeah but mom and I were so close and I missed that" I nodded before I added " well I hope your happy because your relationship with mom has cost me mine with my son" Katie frowned saying "I'm sorry I didn't know that he didn't know" I shook my head saying "I didn't say anything about Patrick because I knew how they'd react , I'm your sister and I care about you and I thought you'd do the same for me". Katie responded saying "but you don't get it I love him I don't understand how they could hate someone I love so much-" I cut her off again saying "yes I do I understand that I love Steve and my heart aches for him when I see how they treat him , I think you should pack up and go with Patrick I don't want you at the apartment anymore". Katie sighed saying "I'm sorry okay I really am" I shook my head saying "no your sorry because it isn't your fault" Katie sighed before walking back down the stairs.

Y/n's P.O.V I walked into the kitchen to see mom putting some flowers in a jar , I grabbed a glass out of the cupboard and walked over to sink to fill it with water. "Steve gave me these , he also gave your father and I a card for our anniversary" Mom said before she added "I don't know how he knew daises were my favorite". I took a sip of water before I scoffed saying "well let's see you have curtains with daises on them , Katie and I had daises on our wallpaper and would you look at that their on the cups too". Mom responded saying "I'm so sorry I don't know what happened I-" I cut her off saying "I don't care what you said about me because it doesn't match what you said to my son" she sighed before I added "I didn't care about being normal , I didn't go to college or any of that because I had him I didn't go because I knew more then anything I wanted to be their to watch him grow up and I wanted to be their for him , I didn't want to go to parties in high school or date around I had more fun with him then I knew I would at any stupid party and he is the most important thing to me and I love him more then anything in this world". Mom sighed saying "but I want better for you it was nice of Steve to do that but look at what he did to you , he ruined your life-" I cut Mom off saying "he gave me a life , he gave me a purpose he gave me Jackson. Mom I was so lonely before him , I had my friends and I had Steve but something felt missing and when I held Jackson for the first time I knew what that was. I knew what love was , I knew what was important and I knew that was my baby and I'd love him more then anything". Mom sighed again saying "but Steve wasn't their doesn't that make you angry" I responded saying "it did at first but what matters is Jackson was born and he was perfect and healthy it doesn't matter if Steve was their or not it doesn't make a damn difference what mattered is Jackson was their" Mom frowned before saying "well I uh guess we can talk about this another time I don't want to put a damper on Christmas" I shook my head saying "it doesn't matter I'll be with Steve's family anyway" Mom nodded saying "I understand but I can still give my grandson and my daughter presents right". I sighed saying "don't you see what he did , he knows you and dad don't like him but he showed up anyways and brought you flowers and a card and do you know why he did it" Mom scoffed saying "to be a kiss ass" I shook my head saying "because that's who he is and that's who were raising our son to be" before Mom could responded I put the glass in the sink and walked out of the kitchen.

We walked up to the apartment before Steve unlocked the front door , we walked in before Buster ran up and started to bark. "I'm gonna put him to bed" Steve said before I walked into the living room to see Katie throwing her stuff into her suitcase , she spoke saying "we'll be out of here in ten minutes" I nodded before saying "what are Jeffrey and Anna doing here" Katie huffed saying. "Because Patrick left okay are you happy I was wrong about him he needed cash for god knows what and when I said no he must've found it some place else and then ran" I frowned saying. "Oh Katie I'm so sorry" she shook her head saying "I don't wanna talk about it okay could you just leave me alone" I sighed as Jeffrey walked in saying "hey I don't think you yelled at me yet so uh why don't you" I sighed again saying "Jeffrey you heard what mom said" Jeffrey shrugged saying "so what your just jealous because I'm the favorite , besides you were freebie" I responded saying "what does that mean" Jeffrey chuckled saying "mom and dad wanted a boy and a girl , they had Katie and then they got us it was a buy one get one free , two for the price of one you wanna know why you and mom don't get along because she didn't want-" Jeffrey was cut off by Katie saying "could you take my bag down to the car I'll go grab Oliver from Anna" Jeffrey nodded and walked into the living room before Katie spoke again saying "I'm sorry I said you don't understand because now I know how you felt when Steve left you". Katie walked down the hall before Steve walked into the entryway saying "is she leaving" I sighed saying "yeah uh Patrick left I guess he just was here for money and uh once he got it he was done" Steve frowned saying "I don't know if I should tell you but he took money out of my wallet" I gasped before he added "it's no big deal but I feel sorry for Katie" before I could respond Katie walked down the hall with Oliver in his car seat and Anna behind her , Katie spoke saying "I'm sorry for how I behaved I'll uh see you later" before I could respond to her she and Anna walked out the door and left.

Chapter Warnings: Language , Smoking , Arguing and Angst

I was sitting outside at one of the picnic tables for lunch with Chris and Phoebe , Chris spoke saying "so why exactly are you moving" I shrugged before he added "it's probably your stupid sisters fault-" I cut Chris off saying "she's not my sister". Phoebe spoke up saying "does any of this have to do with my sister" I huffed saying "for the a thousandth time I didn't sleep with her okay I swear she made it up" Phoebe nodded saying "I'm really sorry about her I don't know why she can be a bitch" Chris chuckled before Phoebe smacked in the arm before saying "so uh where are you moving to anyways" I responded saying "someone in Indiana" they nodded before Chris spoke up saying "how's your mom handling this" I shrugged before he added "is she okay I mean are you gonna see her before you leave" I rolled my eyes saying "it doesn't matter the second I'm eighteen I'm getting the hell out of their and I'll be right back here". Chris sighed saying "So what that's in April by the time your here everything will be over , I mean your gonna miss Halloween , you'll miss Christmas and I mean Taylor Johnson's throws the best parties for them-" Phoebe cut Chris off saying "who cares about the parties I'm worried about things like prom and homecoming". Chris chuckled saying " oh my god like he gives a shit about that anyways so are you Finally gonna lose your-" I cut Chris off saying "shut up will you god not everyone needs to know". Phoebe chuckled saying "oh my god are you are you still a virgin" I huffed before she added "you know that's pretty surprising since pretty much every girl here swears they've done you". Chris spoke saying "okay two things when you get their , one you need to get laid and two your ban from replacing us as your best friends" I rolled my eyes before he added "oh and uh you have to go and see your mom before you leave" I sighed before hearing the bell ring as Phoebe spoke again saying "I don't know about you guys but I really don't feel like going back to class do you" Chris shook his head before saying "I don't either but I wouldn't mind hitting a few waves" Phoebe responded saying "come on what do you say Billy we can surf and then go to Ed's after" I huffed saying "fine what the hell let's get out of here".

"Y/n dinners ready" I walked out of my bedroom before running downstairs and walking into the dinning room to see dad at the table with Peter on his lap , he spoke saying "hey Y/n where's the highchair cover". I responded saying "I threw it in the washing machine after-" dad cut me off saying "you took my shirt out right" I shook my head before he sighed and handed Peter to Matt who had just walked into the dinning room before dad stepped out. Matt spoke saying "you really pissed him off today" I sighed before he added "Jill back yet" I shrugged as he took the seat next to me before saying "you excited for Halloween" I shrugged again saying "yeah I guess so I have to find a stupid costume though". Matt chuckled saying "wait you weren't gonna dress up" I shook my head before he added "Colleen and I are and I'm not gonna tell you what were gonna be cause Colleen would-" Matt was cut off when dad walked in saying "well my shirts ruined so now I've got to find something else to wear" I responded saying "I'm sorry dad I-" dad cut me off saying "Y/n I'm sorry I'm this is an important meeting" I responded again saying "and I said I was sorry-"dad again cut me off saying "I don't care if your sorry if this meeting doesn't go well I'm going to have to sell the business" Matt and I's jaws feel before he added "I'm sorry kids I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd be upset and I know how much this meant to your mom it's just I don't know what I'm gonna do" Matt spoke up saying "I guess this is a bad time to ask but can Colleen move in with us" dad responded saying "why" Matt sighed saying. "She got into a fight with her parents and they threw her out" Dad sighed saying "you know what here's an idea she can stay here but she's staying in Y/n's room , we've got that extra bed in the attic and we can move it in their how does that sound" Matt scoffed saying "I think it's stupid I mean were almost adults and-" dad cut Matt of saying "Matthew Carter Paterson no okay she's staying in Y/n's room" Matt rolled his eyes before dad added "let me tell you something do you see your brother , do you want one of those I don't think you do" Matt shook his head saying "okay don't say things like that around Colleen please she's still processing it" dad shrugged before Matt added "Colleen uh won't be able to have children she's got some issues and it's just not a possibility for her". Dad frowned saying "I'm sorry son" Matt shrugged saying "she took it really hard but when we go to neverminded I-" Matt cut dad off saying "go where" Matt sighed saying. "I heard back from Boston College and I uh I got in well Colleen and I both got in we have to be their a week after fourth of July" Dad responded saying "that's great you two picked out your majors and everything" Matt nodded saying "yep and spring break were gonna go up their and look at some places" Dad spoke saying "have you heard back from anywhere Y/n". I shook my head before he added "where did you apply to" I responded saying "a few places" dad sighed before Matt spoke saying "does something smell burnt" dad huffed before he walked into the kitchen only to walk out a few minutes later saying "alright who wants pizza".

One Year ago Today

One year ago today I was a bundle of nerves , I was looking over and editing the first part of my second series I ever published. This series means so much to me , I wanted to write something that came from the heart and came from experience. I was raised by teen parents , it was hard sometimes so hard that my parents split up for the longest time I blamed myself and I dealt with anxiety , depression and heartache. Writing helped , writing was an escape and when I originally wrote the series almost two years ago I was writing it to put away the pain and sadness and the stigma I had growing up. It taught me a lot , it taught me not to be afraid of what people thought and to embrace my life and my family. I started writing to escape but ended up finding more happiness then I could possibly imagine , It gave me so much strength and joy. It gave me hope and gave me a sense of happiness that I couldn’t have ever dreamed of. It gave me the courage to reconnect with my dad , it gave me the light in a year that was so dark. I felt so nostalgic reading all my old drafts for the series and seeing all the things I had scrapped , I laughed today , I cried today and I cherish it with all my heart. I almost gave up on the series but I ended up meeting some wonderful people who changed my life and gave me the push I needed to finish the series with that said I wish everyone a happy , healthy and safe new year and I wish a happy first birthday to my series Better as Friends which in the new year I will be rewriting , thank you all for reading , commenting. Your kind words mean so much to me , this series means so much to me and my heart is full of gratitude to you all , thank you for loving these characters and this story and thank you for letting me tell a story so close to my heart , thank you all- Meg

Chapter Warnings: Language , talks of a car accident and some family drama and angst I think that’s all

Steve's P.O.V I felt Jackson tug on my leg , I currently had him seated behind the counter with a few of the toys that were in his diaper bag. He spoke saying "daddy I hungry" I nodded before picking up the diaper bag and beginning to look through it , Robin walked over before saying "hey uh where's Jackson. I looked down to see Jackson was now gone , I began to panic before hearing the sounds of what I knew were Jackson giggling I walked past the counter before looking through the isles before seeing Jackson pulling movies of shelf , I walked over before hearing the sound of not only Jackson's giggles but the sound of laughter somewhere else. I turned around the corner to see a group of girls laughing at Jackson who apparently was highly amused by tossing the movies of the shelf , I sighed before Robin walked over and chuckled before saying "wow he's a uh little flirt isn't he" I sighed before she added "oh my god your jealous oh my god your jealous of a baby your jealous of a two year old" I shook my head before walking over to Jackson before scoping him in my arms , of course Jackson didn't like this one bit and started to fuss in my arms I tried soothing him before he began to call out for Y/n I walked over back behind the counter before he continued to fuss in my arms I sighed before Robin walked over and spoke again saying "you brought the Elmo pacifier right cause if not you better get used to it". I sighed again before looking bac through the diaper bag while Jackson started to cry I sighed before I realized the Elmo pacifier wasn't in the diaper bag . Jackson began to get even more upset before Robin added "Elmo pacifier or-" I cut her off saying "It's not in their I must've left it in his crib". she sighed before I pulled Jackson into my arms and spoke again saying "I think I'm gonna head over to Y/n's" she nodded saying "well sounds good make sure you don't forget to stop at Melvalds to get the things" I sighed saying "I thought you already did that" she shrugged saying "no you were here late so I couldn't go out and get those things". I responded saying "well what do I need to get some things" she responded saying "well obviously some Midol , tampons , some chocolate and uh some cool ranch Doritos oh and could you get me a diet coke please". I rolled my eyes before she added "oh what you can't go and get tampons are you that ridiculous it's just things". I sighed saying "but it's you know girl things" Robin nodded saying "oh come on I know you've bought things before for her" I sighed again saying "but-" she quickly cut me off saying "forget it I'll go" I shook my head saying "no I'll uh go it's just uh forget it Robin I'll go" she nodded silently before saying "well you better hurry out of here while Keith is busy" I nodded before grabbing the diaper bag and walking out of the video store with Jackson.

I walked down the hall with Jackson now in his new Christmas pajama's that I let him pick out at the mall a few weeks ago , they were so adorable that I even went back and got my own pair to match his. I put Jackson down in the living room before feeling those cramps I had earlier , I walked back into the bathroom before grabbing a Midol. After taking the Midol I walked back into the living room before seeing Jackson propped up on Steve's shoulder , I knew it was that time of the month and I knew Steve was always careful with him but lately Steve and I hadn't been getting along and it scared me because I always wanted to keep a civil relationship between us but I was afraid that Steve and I wouldn't been able to have one and with Christmas coming up soon I was afraid this would put a damper on it. Steve spoke saying "are we okay" I nodded silently even though I knew we weren't okay , I hated that Steve and I were dancing around this. I knew he had a girlfriend and I didn't mind it but I wished he would tell me and try and be open about , I knew that if I had someone new in my life that I'd be open to him and talked to him about it even though I hadn't tried dating since Jackson was born but I did know that one day I would at least try to even though it wasn't import and what was more important was Jackson and he was the only boy I needed in my life. Steve spoke again saying "are you okay I mean your really quiet-" I cut Steve off saying "do you have a girlfriend". Oh my god what is wrong with me why did I ask that it was none of my business , Steve spoke saying "no I uh don't I mean their was this girl I was hanging out but I didn't think she was good to have around Jackson". I nodded before he added "I'm trying , I'm really trying to make him my top propriety right now , I'm trying okay" I nodded again saying "I'm sorry for asking you , that was really rude". Steve put Jackson down before saying "can we uh talk about this later I don't want to talk about this in front of Jackson okay" I nodded before saying "uh I'll be right back I have to uh I'll be right back" before Steve could respond I walked down the hallway before walking into my bedroom.

I walked into Y/n's hospital room to see of course Y/n asleep in the bed , her one hand was wrapped in bandages and she had a few cuts on her face. I walked over and took the seat on the chair besides her bed before I took her hand that wasn't hurt in the accident in mine , I rubbed my thumb on her hand while I held her hand in silence I couldn't believe it I couldn't believe this is how I had to see her after that fight. That stupid fight I couldn't believe that stupid fight is what caused this if I hadn't yelled at her we wouldn't be here , if we hadn't gotten into that stupid fight it would have never happened she would've never gotten in the accident. She would've never had this happen to her she didn't deserve it. I was so mad at myself , it was all my fault if I had just listened to her to her and had not gotten upset with her over nothing I mean it was something but it wasn't something important. I held her hand when I began to feel the guilt build inside of me at what I did , I just sat their in silence until feeling Y/n squeeze my hand. I saw her eyes flutter open slowly before she spoke saying "Steve" I responded saying "yeah I'm here sweetie" she yawned before saying "what happened" I responded again saying "well do you remember this morning" Y/n nodded saying "I took Jackson to school and I began to drive to work and uh their was this car in front of me that slammed on it's breaks and now I'm here". I nodded saying "sweetie you were in a car accident uh your car is uh your car is pretty much gone" she sighed saying "I can't believe I took that damn shortcut I had a meeting at work this morning and-" I cut her off saying "Y/n it's not a big deal what matters is your okay but your gonna be out of work for a few weeks" she sighed again before saying "I'm so sorry if I hadn't listened to Katie I should've gone with you to the party and-" I cut Y/n off again saying "hey I'm over that okay lets just forget about it okay it doesn't matter what matters is that your okay" she sighed before I added "I was gonna go get some things from home is their anything you want" Y/n responded saying "I just wanna see Jackson" I nodded before kissing Y/n's cheek before walking out of her hospital room.

I sat across from Mr. Yl/n before he spoke saying "Steve I don't get you I really don't okay well I think we need to talk about well I think you know what" I shrugged before he added "now I'm going to ask you and you better not lie to me" I nodded before Mr. Yl/n added "now I didn't want to ask her first because I didn't want to upset her because she's probably already upset enough with the accident but I noticed her name changed and did you and Y/n get married" I sighed before Mr. Yl/n spoke again saying "god damnit what were you thinking what in the hell is wrong with you why on earth would you want to get married". I quickly shook his head saying "we didn't were uh not married-" Mr. Yl/n cut me off saying "then why has her name changed" I shrugged before he added ""what were you thinking" before I could respond he added "you will never do you understand never will be good enough for my daughter so let that soak in okay she's too good for you , your a looser and will never be good enough for my little girl so I want you to end it". My jaw feel before saying "I don't understand you want me to dump your daughter-" Mr. Yl/n cut me off saying "just let her down easy okay she'll be upset at first but she'll move on she's moved on once she'll do it again she doesn't need you" I sighed before he added "it's just this is too much okay you both have tried to make this work and it didn't so just give up okay this nonsense about having another baby is ridiculous okay you both don't want that for god sakes you didn't even want the first one" I huffed before he spoke again saying "don't you see what I'm doing I'm helping you I'm giving you a way out you can move on and start your own life and find someone else and-" I cut him off saying "no I don't want that I want to be with Y/n" he huffed saying "you two are done mark my words you two are done my daughter is done with you" before I could respond he sighed saying "what are they doing here". I turned before seeing my parents and Nanny standing their , Mom walked over before saying "do you want to explain to me what gives you the right to speak to my son like that" dad grabbed moms arm before saying "Jenifer why don't you and my mother go for a little walk and find Jackson while Jack and I talk" mom huffed before her and Nanny walked out of the waiting room. Dad took the seat next to me before saying "what did you do now Steven" I sighed before Mr. Yl/n spoke up saying "I'll tell you what your idiot son did he married my daughter and-" Dad cut Mr. Yl/n off saying "your married" I shook my head saying "no were not married I told you that" Mr. Yl/n huffed saying "well then why the hell did she change her name" Dad shrugged saying "who cares now do you want to explain to me what the hell you think you were doing Jack trying to corner my son" Mr. Yl/n rolled his eyes before Dad added "now whether you like it or not we have to be civil for Jackson understood whether you hate my sons guts or not he is still the father of your grandson so you'll treat my son with respect understood". Mr. Yl/n huffed saying "well he'll never marry my daughter not with my blessing I mean how dare you run off with my grandson and then poor Katie is by herself and-" I cut Mr. Yl/n off saying "Katie isn't alone Patrick was their too" Mr. Yl/n looked more angry then he did before he spoke again saying "Patrick was their" I nodded saying "yeah they were at my apartment smoking- I mean uh yeah Patrick was their with Katie". Mr. Yl/n huffed again saying "they were smoking my uh my daughter let that idiot back in huh you know what Steve you want my blessing to marry my daughter then you talk Katie out of taking back that looser and you can marry my daughter tomorrow" before I could respond Nanny walked in with Mom who was holding Jackson who appeared to be sleepy. Dad spoke saying. "Jenifer put him down your not allowed to be carrying heavy objects" Mom shook her head before Nanny spoke up saying "what is wrong with her" Dad shrugged before Jackson spoke up saying. "Can we go see Mommy now" I nodded before I stood up and pulled Jackson out of my moms arms before walking back to Y/n's hospital room.

Steve's P.O.V "This is all his fault" Mr. Yl/n said before dad spoke up saying "oh no it's not you can't go blame my son for everything that goes wrong in your daughters life" Mr. Yl/n nodded saying "oh yes I can" Dad huffed before I spoke saying "could we please not talk about this" dad shook his head saying "oh no he's not getting away with this" Mr. Yl/n nodded saying "this doesn't even concern you so stay out". Dad huffed saying " don't you raise your voice at my kid" I sighed before taking the seat next to Mrs. Yl/n before she spoke saying "you know what your absolutely pathetic for letting everyone walk all over you" I sighed again before Dad spoke again saying "oh don't you start with him your not perfect either Diane" Mrs. Yl/n sighed before another voice chimed in "excuse your either going to need to keep your voices down or you can leave" I turned to see Paige standing their , Mr. Yl/n spoke again saying "Diane lets go" Katie walked in before he added "good Katie's here , Jeffrey and Anna do you gonna too". Anna and Jeffrey nodded before they walked out of the waiting room with Mr. and Mrs. Yl/n and Katie , Dad spoke saying "I uh should get going uh call if you need anything and uh figure out what kinda car Y/n likes" I shrugged off his words before Paige walked over and spoke saying "what was that about" I shrugged again saying "I honestly don't know and I honestly don't want to know" she nodded saying. "How's Y/n holding up" I responded saying "she's good she's a little quiet" Paige nodded again before I added "hey do you know what happened like with the accident" she sighed saying. "Well it papers that what happened it the driver in front of her slammed on their breaks and when her car hit theirs she moved her arm and the pressure from the air bag is what sprained her wrist but thankfully that was it she's fine the other driver walked away without a scratch". I responded saying "do we know who it was" Paige shrugged saying "we don't know but he's the one who called the hospital" I nodded before she added "do you happen to know if Y/n has any insurance like for her or her car I mean we found one for Jackson in her wallet but that's it". I responded saying "no I don't" she nodded saying "well do you mind running over to her office and checking with Mr. Paterson" I nodded saying "yeah I don't mind do you mind checking on Y/n" Paige shook her head saying "I was just heading their" I nodded before saying goodbye and walking away from Paige before leaving the hospital.

Y/n's P.O.V I wiped a few tears before hearing another knock on the door , I took a deep breath because I was expecting it to be Steve here to break up with me. How did I not see it , how did I not figure out that he was going to propose that night , how did this take me off guard I knew it was coming I knew after what happened on his birthday that he'd dump me. I deserve it , I knew it was what needed to happen and I knew I know had to prepare myself to become a single mother again. I knew I could do it , I knew I had done it but I didn't want to I wanted to be with Steve and this feeling of it all about to be taken from me made it hurt most worse. I sighed before I had the courage up to speak "come in" I could feel my heart beat so fast before the door opened with Paige on the other side , I took a sigh of relief before she spoke saying "is everything okay" I nodded silently before she added "are you feeling okay" I nodded again as she spoke saying "are you sure I mean I know after the surgery you can be a bit groggy but if your being quiet I can go get the doctor for you if you feel ill". I shook my head again saying "no Paige I'm fine I'm just waiting for Steve to come by and-" Paige cut me off saying "oh he just left Y/n" I frowned before she added "Y/n is everything okay" I nodded saying "yeah I'm fine I just wanted to get it over with". She shrugged before I added "I think he's gonna break up with me" she shook her head saying "Y/n he wouldn't do that he just went out to get your insurance from work but he'll be back". I sighed saying "I uh I don't have any" Paige's jaw feel before saying "Y/n what does Steve do for a living he sells insurance and you don't have any". I sighed saying "no I don't okay I'm fine I just don't ever really ever get sick and I'm so careful-" Paige cut me off saying " Y/n that's still not a very good idea" I sighed saying "I know but I've been a single mom so-" Paige cut me off saying "Y/n it isn't' a good idea to walk around with no insurance anything could happen". I nodded before she added "oh so wait a minute so Y/n what are you gonna do about your car" I sighed saying "I haven't figured it out" she nodded saying "well Mr. Harrington asked Steve if there's a car you'd be interested in". I sighed again before she added "Oh and uh Y/n your gonna need to come back in on Wednesday to make sure everything's okay , and uh not that this is any of my business but uh no strenuous activity okay and if I need to go through this with Steve I will". I sighed saying "Paige can we just not talk about this please" she nodded before I added "oh uh congratulants by the way about the baby" she responded saying "thanks uh were uh excited were gonna tell Alex's parent's tonight" I nodded saying "your mom would be really happy Paige" she sighed saying "that' what Alex says I uh don't want to sound crazy but I uh I told her after I found out". I responded saying "it doesn't sound crazy Paige I know she'd be really happy for you guys" she nodded saying "well uh I'll stop by later and check on you" I nodded before saying my goodbyes to Paige".

Steve's P.O.V I pulled into the parking lot of Y/n's office , I walked in before walking to the receptionist I spoke saying "hi I'm looking for Arnold Paterson". The women frowned saying "I'm sorry uh Mr. Paterson isn't here right now can I take a message for you" I shook my head saying "no I need to talk to him this is important" she sighed before Matt walked over and spoke saying "what's going on". I sighed saying "can I talk to you" he nodded saying "sure uh come on" I followed Matt into what appeared to be Mr. Paterson's office , Matt spoke again saying "so where's Y/n it must've been pretty important if she didn't show up to work" I sighed again saying. "She got into a car accident" Matt's jaw feel saying "oh my god is she okay" I nodded saying "she's okay she's got a sprained hand so she'll be out of work for a couple weeks". Matt nodded saying "well uh that's okay as long as she's okay is their anything I could do just let me know" I responded saying "I uh could you find her insurance" Matt nodded before walking behind the desk and opening a drawer before pulling out a folder , he looked through it before saying "it looks like she doesn't have any" I sighed before he added "you got to be kidding me your an insurance salesman and you didn't make sure your own girlfriend doesn't have any". Before I could respond their was a knock on the office door , the door opened with Colleen on the other side carrying Emma in her arms , she spoke saying "oh am I interrupting something" Matt shook his head before saying "no uh everything is fine honey you can come in" Colleen walked in before saying "okay what's going on here". Matt responded saying "don't freak out but Y/n's been in a car accident-" Colleen quickly cut Matt off saying "oh my god is she okay" , I spoke up saying "she's fine but she uh she's got a sprained arm" Colleen frowned saying "oh my god how is she holding up". I responded saying "she was a little groggy when I saw her" Colleen nodded before I added "okay so I guess I'll see you guys later" Matt spoke up saying "hey when is she getting released from the hospital" I responded again saying "uh tomorrow afternoon I think" Matt nodded saying "well tell her to give me a call when she can so we can talk over this insurance thing" I nodded as Colleen spoke up saying "what insurance thing" Matt shook his head saying "don't worry about it Colleen" Matt added "oh hey have you done it yet" Colleen gasped saying "Matthew" Matt sighed saying "I meant have you proposed yet I don't get mad but Polly told me you were-" Colleen cut Matt off saying "your going to propose" I nodded saying "yeah I was" she sighed saying "you were" I nodded before she added. "well are you still going to" I nodded saying "I think so I mean I asked her dad and-" Matt cut me off saying "and let me guess he said no" I nodded before Matt added "so did Colleen's dad and I still asked her to marry me" I sighed saying "yeah but-" Matt cut me off again saying "so who cares you guys haven't ever done anything in the traditional order , so what if her dad says no then do it anyways and- Colleen Marie Paterson I know that face you better not tell anyone about this" she nodded saying "I won't I won't I was just thinking is this a good idea I mean have you talked after your birthday" I nodded before she added "no you haven't have you" I sighed before Matt looked at his watch and spoke saying "oh shoot I got a meeting to get to uh make sure Y/n calls me tomorrow and uh are we still up for dinner next weekend" I shrugged before Colleen spoke saying "uh if not that's okay I can cancel the baby sitter" Matt sighed before saying "oh Colleen could you step out for a minute I need to talk to Steve about your uh something". Colleen nodded before she walked out of the office with Emma before Matt spoke again saying "listen I know you've got a lot on your plate and that Y/n does too but if you don't mind could you not cancel on dinner next week. Colleen and I haven't had a night out since Emma was born and I just think it would help her if she knew that it okay to have a night out she always feels guilty about leaving her anyways uh go see Y/n and again-" I cut him off saying "I know I'll make sure she calls you tomorrow" Matt responded saying "I was actually going to say and tell her that we hope she's okay but yeah make sure she does that too" I nodded before saying goodbye to Matt before walking out of the office to say goodbye to Colleen and Emma.

I pulled into the parking lot of the hospital to see the sun was slowly starting to set , I grabbed the bag of stuff I picked up from the apartment , I walked into the hospital before walking up to the floor Y/n was staying on. I walked down the hall and knocked on the door Y/n was in before hearing her respond "come in" I opened the door to see Y/n was now sitting up in bed , I spoke saying "how are you feeling" she responded saying "better uh still tired" I nodded before taking the seat next to her on the bed. Y/n leaned her head on my shoulder before saying "I love you" I responded saying "I love you too" she snuggled her head in the crook of my neck before she added "are you gonna break up with me". My jaw feel in shock before I spoke saying "Y/n why would I do that" I shrugged saying "because I'm stupid I mean how did I not figure out that you were gonna propose that night and letting my sister stay with us was a horrible idea and-" I quickly cut Y/n off saying "Y/n your not stupid and I'm not going to break up with you , Y/n I love you okay and how did you know I was gonna propose that night". She sighed saying "well I uh I just thought about it and the candles and the champagne and oh who cares you've probably changed your mind and-" I cut Y/n off again saying "Y/n I haven't changed my mind I promise okay I promise that's still gonna happen". Y/n looked up at me saying "really" I nodded before she added "you really mean it even though I'm a mess" I shook my head saying "your not a mess and I do mean it why would you think I was coming up here to break up with you". She frowned saying "well uh Katie said that my dad told you too" I chuckled saying "have I ever listened to your dad" she shook her head before I added "you know I'm really sorry about the other night I shouldn't have yelled at you Y/n we should've talked it out but I really did miss you that night" she nodded saying "I'm really sorry about that Steve I really missed you to it was pretty lonely without you , Jackson or Buster being their" I kissed the top of her head before saying "well if it makes you feel better we all missed you , I'm pretty sure even Buster missed you" she nodded again saying "probably because I let him sleep at the top of the bed with us" I chuckled before she added "are you gonna stay here with me tonight" I nodded saying "if you want me too" she responded saying "if you don't mind" I kissed the top of her head saying "I never do".

I walked up to the receptionist and spoke saying "Hi I'm looking for Dr. Davidson" she spoke saying "do you have an appointment with her" I shook my head before hearing "Y/n" I turned to see Paige standing their , she spoke again saying "did you wanna talk" I nodded saying. "Are you busy I don't wanna bother if-" Paige cut me off saying "no it's okay I've got a few minutes until my next appointment" I nodded before she added "you can come back with me to my office" I nodded before following Paige down the hallway , we walked into Paige's office before saying "you could take a seat" I took the seat across from her desk before she spoke again saying "so how have you been feeling" I nodded saying "better uh still a little sleepy" she responded saying "that's good have you talked to Steve yet" I nodded again saying "yeah we have and uh well uh I probably shouldn't tell you this but-" Paige cut me off saying "you two did not do it last night" I sighed before she added "dear god Y/n why would you do it your in a fricken hospital I mean neverminded". I sighed again saying "no we didn't do that okay we okay uh Steve's going to propose" Paige gasped saying "oh wow I didn't know that was in the plans for you" I nodded before she added "wow uh do you know when" I shrugged saying "yeah I'm uh pretty excited" Paige shrugged saying "wait a minute aren't you not supposed to know about this" I shrugged saying "I guess but-" I was cut of my the phone on Paige's desk beginning to ring , Paige sighed saying "it's probably Alex he calls me twice a day to make sure that I'm staying off my feet" I responded saying "that's really sweet Paige". Paige picked up the phone before she spoke saying "hi honey , hi yes I'm sitting down I know yes I'm can I call you back I'm here with Y/n , yes I tell her okay I love you goodbye now" she hung up the phone before saying "Alex wants to let you know that he and Matt will take over your work and he hopes you feel better oh and uh he wants to know if Jackson has his Christmas list ready". I responded saying "I'll have to call Matt later and tell him what happened and uh no I don't know what he wants for Christmas yet" she nodded saying "oh uh do you happen to have any of your old maternity clothes". I responded saying "uh well I gave some to Colleen and she gave them to Katie but I have some left yeah" she nodded again saying "do you mind if I come over and pick them up I'm starting to not be able to button my jeans I mean I don't know if that's normal I mean I'm only a two months along I mean maybe it has to do with oh uh neverminded". I shrugged saying "well what is it is everything okay" she nodded saying "I uh we haven't told anyone this yet but uh I mean your my best friend so uh I um I'm okay so I'm having twins".

Chapter Warnings : Language , Angst , some fluff and a bit of violence (only mentioned) and some talks of smut and family drama and I think that’s all

We walked through the front door of Stewart's and his moms apartment before she spoke saying "okay you kids go and do whatever it is you do , I'll be out working on dinner and Stewart keep the door open please" Stewart nodded before we walked back to his room to start on homework. I walked into Stewart's room before he spoke saying "so I was talking to Colleen in Homeroom and I guess her and Matt were gonna go to the movies , do you wanna go". I shrugged saying "sure I mean who's gonna go" Stewart responded saying "uh I guess Matt , Colleen , Paige , Steve and that new kid Alex" I nodded saying "sure that sounds like fun". Stewart sighed before I added "is everything okay" he nodded saying "do you know Harper Richardson" I nodded saying "yeah she's in my Spanish class" he responded saying "well uh I was thinking about asking her to come with us , do you think that would be okay with everybody". I nodded saying "sure that would be great" Stewart responded saying "isn't that weird I mean uh Matt and Colleen are dating , Harper and I have been kinda talking lately and you know Steve and Paige-" I cut him off saying "what about Paige and Steve". Stewart spoke saying "well they like each other don't they , I mean that's what I thought I mean Y/n they've been friends longer then you've been friends with Steve". I scoffed saying "so that doesn't mean anything , that's ridiculous and I don't you know what forget it" Stewart responded saying "Y/n I'm sorry I didn't think you'd get upset" I responded saying "I'm not upset okay I just don't wanna talk about it". Stewart responded again saying "Y/n is uh this one of your girl things like your a you know that girl thing" I huffed saying "no it's not okay it's just can you keep a secret" he nodded silently before I added "uh well Steve and I are kinda seeing each other , we uh kinda started this spring but now since school is in nothing happens I mean we see each other at school but we don't really talk I mean we hang out sometimes but I don't think making out counts as dating , does it". Stewart shrugged saying "I don't know but I'm pretty sure it doesn't , I mean do you like him" I nodded quickly before saying "I do but I just I guess I'll talk to him at the movie" Stewart nodded saying "okay sounds good but uh do you mind not telling mom about this Harper thing I don't want to stress her out even more" I shrugged saying "is something wrong " he shook his head before saying "it doesn't matter".

A few hours later I was sitting at the dinner table with Cathy and Stewart , it honestly was so refreshing to have a home cooked meal and not a frozen pizza or takeout from Benny's. Stewart spoke up saying "hey uh mom Y/n and I were going to go to a movie later with everyone is uh that okay". Cathy spoke saying "who's going" Stewart responded saying "just me , Colleen , Matt , Y/n , Paige and Steve oh and this new kid at school Alex" Cathy responded saying "what movie is it" Stewart responded again saying. "The evil dead" Cathy chuckled saying "this sounds like a scary movie and the last time I let you go to see a scary movie you came home crying because you thought Jaws would get in the bathtub" Stewart sighed saying "mom can we not talk about this in front of Y/n please" Cathy nodded saying ."How much are the tickets" Stewart spoke saying "I think like two dollars" Cathy responded saying "you can go just don't get anything at the concession stand or better yet you can bring your own snacks". Stewart responded saying "mom I can't do that it's embarrassing" Cathy shook her head saying "I'm sorry sweetie but we can't afford it okay I'm already having to pay the movers , I'm sorry but what we have will just have to make do with" Stewart frowned before I spoke up saying "wait your moving". Cathy shook her head saying "don't worry dear were staying in Hawkins it's just were moving more onto the north side of town I uh lost my job a few weeks ago and uh oh neverminded I don't want to bother but were fine Y/n I don't want you worrying" I nodded silently before I spike up saying. "I uh can give Stewart the money for the tickets Ms. Graham I don't mind I-" Cathy cut me off saying "oh no honey I don't want you-" this time I cut her off saying "Mrs. Graham I really don't mind I really don't and besides I wasn't here for Stewart's birthday so this would be like a birthday present" Cathy sighed saying "oh Y/n your too sweet , Stewart say thank you to Y/n" Stewart spoke saying "thank you Y/n" I nodded before continuing to eat dinner.

We walked into the girls bathroom before Colleen spoke saying "you know I don't get him sometimes , I mean I understand where he's coming from but he doesn't need to be snappy I mean his dad's happy so why shouldn't he be happy for him". I nodded silently before she added "and I love him I really do but he's just so frustrating sometimes" I nodded again as she spoke saying "so have you talked to Alex" I shrugged saying "not since study hall why". Colleen responded saying "well I think he likes you" before I could respond she added "I mean think about I'm with Matt , Stewart's got Harper , Steve and Paige-" I cut Colleen off saying "what about Steve and Paige". She responded saying "well they like each other so , Y/n are you crying" I didn't realize till then but I had tears on my cheeks , I spoke saying "uh can you keep a secret" Colleen nodded before I spoke again saying "Steve and I are kinda seeing each other" Colleen jaw fell before I added "well I mean I thought we were I mean we went on a date in May and we've been hanging out a lot more and sometimes we uh neverminded-" Colleen cut me off saying "what , what did you oh my god did you sleep with him" I shook my head before saying "no , no oh my god why would you think that" she responded saying "well uh Matt and I are" my jaw feel before she added "but you can't tell Matt I told you because he's really sensitive about it" I nodded before another voice spoke "hey are you guys in here" Colleen and I turned to see Paige walking into the bathroom. Paige spoke again saying "were uh all here and the movies about to start I guess Harper and Stewart aren't gonna sit with us so it's just us and the guys". I sighed before Paige added "is something wrong" Colleen responded saying "I'm gonna start keeping my eye on you" Paige chuckled saying. "What is wrong with you two your both acting weird , what's wrong" Colleen responded saying "you that's what's wrong you should know better" Paige responded saying. "Can someone please explain what's wrong and what I did" I shook my head saying "it's nothing let's just-" Colleen cut me off saying "it is something your with Steve and-" Paige cut Colleen off saying "your with Steve". I responded saying "well kinda" Paige scoffed saying "what do you mean kinda" I sighed saying "we went on a date and sometimes we make out" Colleen and Paige's jaws feel before I added "let's just forget it and go watch the movie".

Mom and I had entered the first store in the small shopping center before she spoke saying "so uh what was that between you and Stewart earlier" I sighed saying "I thought you were looking at the fall leaves". Mom scoffed saying "oh please you know that's not true now what was that earlier" I sighed again saying "I don't know I guess it was uh I don't know actually" mom shrugged saying. "Well it looked like a kiss and the way you walked back into the house all smiley it must've been a pretty good one" my cheeks flushed red before saying "so uh can I go out later" mom shrugged saying "with Stewart" I nodded silently before she added "is it a date" I nodded again saying " I guess so" mom responded saying. "I'm fine with that but I don't know if I'll be fine with more talk though" I shrugged before she added "I mean it's one thing to have my sixteen year old daughter pregnant and now she's going from boy to boy" I rolled my eyes saying "I don't care okay no matter what I do people are gonna talk about me mom so I'm over it I'm just gonna ignore it and live my life". Mom responded saying "well uh that's up to you I guess but what about Steve". I sighed saying "I thought you didn't like Steve" mom nodded saying "I don't but I mean he is still the father and you can't change that Y/n" I responded saying "but he hasn't done anything , he hasn't been to any of the doctors appointments he didn't show up at that a]baby shower-" mom cut me off saying "well honey what about Steve I mean this is hard for him too you know" I sighed again saying. "Why are you taking his side" she shook her head saying "I'm not okay I just you know what if he forgot about the shower or got the dates mixed up-" this time I cut mom off saying "I left him notes , I called him okay he didn't forget and he didn't mix up his days okay he just doesn't give a damn". Mom's jaw fell before saying "oh honey I'm sorry" I responded saying "it's fine lets just talk about something else please" mom nodded silently before we continued with are shopping.

I walked into the baby section of the store , I couldn't help but feel the flutters of excitement since this would be the first time I'd ever shop for my little sweet pea. I didn't know if I was having a boy or a girl but I knew I loved them no matter what. Mom spoke up again saying "Nana would like to know the baby's name" I shrugged saying "well I haven't decided yet and I don't even know what I'm having". Mom responded saying "well nana would like to have the name sewn on a bear like she did for you kids so whenever you do decide you need to call her". I nodded before she added "I just have one more question about the Stewart situation and then we don't have to talk about it". I nodded again as she spoke saying "so are you going to raise the baby with Stewart like is he going to be the father" I responded saying. "He wants to help , he's got a job he knows what he wants to do with his life and he supports my decision to keep the baby I think he's a much better choice then Steve". It hurt to say that it really did but it was the truth Steve hadn't showed a single sign that he wanted to help me raise the baby or that he cared about me the baby or believed that we could have the baby and be a happy family together. All I knew was this baby was a true blessing and I loved them more then anything in this whole world , more then life itself and I knew I'd protect them from anything this world would try to throw at them. Mom spoke again saying "so does this mean Cathy will be the grandmother and not Jenifer" oh no I hadn't even thought of that not only was Steve now out of the baby's life but now so was Mr. and Mrs. Harrington as well as Polly. "Y/n" Mom said interrupting me before adding "are you okay" I nodded saying "so what have you decided I mean she is Stewart's Mom and if he's going to raise the baby with you-" I cut Mom off saying "I don't know if I can do that to Mrs. Harrington or Polly they've done a lot for me and the baby , they put together the baby shower and they gave the baby those wonderful gifts I mean they gave me Steve's old mobile". Mom responded saying "oh Y/n I gave them back the mobile and all the other gifts" my jaw feel before she added "Y/n I thought that's what you would've wanted" I sighed saying "I guess so but I wish you told me first" Mom nodded saying "I'm sorry okay I should've told you but you need to give the check back it's the right thing to do". The check as in the one the Harrington's gave me for my birthday I knew Mom was right and I knew I had to give it back because it was the right thing to do . I nodded silently before mom looked at her watch and spoke saying "oh goodness look at the time we better hurry before were late for lunch" I nodded before Mom and I walked out of the store.

Mom and I walked into the house with our shopping bags , Nana and Marissa were still out with Hannah and Hailey and would be meeting us back at the house for dinner. Mom called out to Dad a few times before Jeffrey walked down the stairs and spoke saying "he's upstairs" Mom nodded saying "Jeffrey would you take these bags upstairs for me please". Jeffrey responded saying "what's in them" mom spoke saying "that's not important now I won't ask again please take these bags upstairs and then take the trash out liked I asked you to earlier". Jeffrey huffed saying "but that's Y/n's job not mine" Mom shook her head saying "well not anymore things have changed now I won't ask you again" Jeffrey sighed saying "this really sucks nobody's asked me how I feel about this but I think it sucks you know I'm the school embarrassment now , nobody at school wants to hang out with me nobody wants to talk to me. Anna dumped me , do you know what they call me they call me the pregnant girls brother they don't even call me by my own name. I have a game on Friday night and now I don't even know if I'm gonna show my face their if I'm related to the biggest disaster to hit the state of Indiana". Mom responded saying "oh boo your going to the game and your apologizing to your sister and then you'll take the trash out do you understand" she raised her voice Mom hardly ever did that especially to Jeffrey. Jeffrey sighed before walking out of the entryway , mom spoke again saying "I'm sorry about him , if he bugs you anymore let me know okay" I nodded before she added "now how about we go see what your fathers doing". I nodded again before Katie walked downstairs with a box , I went to shrug it off before seeing the shell that was stuck in my foot at the lake from the night I was pretty sure the baby was conceived. "What are you doing" I ask before Katie spoke saying "oh uh I thought you wouldn't want this stuff anymore so I-" I quickly cut Katie off saying "but it's mine" Katie shook her head saying "I just thought I'd toss it for you it's just junk anyways" I shook my head saying. "No it's not it's my stuff" Katie shook her head saying "really cause it looks like it's Steve's stuff" I took the box from Katie before saying "this is my stuff I told you not to move it" Katie shrugged saying. "Why it's all going to your new room anyways-" I cut Katie off again saying "I don't want a new room" Mom spoke up saying "Y/n it's a little too late to decide that". I felt like I couldn't breath , I had to get out of the house "Y/n did you hear what I said" I dropped the box and grabbed my brothers car keys before running out of the house.

I walked into Benny's , I needed a break I felt like I was going crazy I knew I wasn't and I knew that things would never go back to the way things were and life would never be normal again but I still wanted some normalcy. Is it to much for things to stay normal , I knew life was changing , I knew I was changing but I wasn't ready for it. I went to look for a booth before seeing Mrs. Harrington sitting at a booth all by herself , I walked over to the booth seeing that she looked as sad and lonely as I felt I spoke saying "do you mind some company" she shook her head silently before I took the seat across from Mrs. Harrington. It felt odd to be alone with her , we had talked a few times but I didn't really know her but I had a feeling Benny's wasn't her usually scene. Mrs. Harrington spoke saying "I'm sorry about him" she said before adding "I don't know where I went wrong with him" I responded saying "oh it's not your fault Mrs. Harrington I really uh don't know what happened" Mrs. Harrington nodded saying. "Do you think it has anything to do with the baby I mean I noticed it shortly after your parents told us about it". I shook my head saying "oh uh no I don't think so I mean this was starting to happen before I found out" Mrs. Harrington scoffed saying "do you mean before you told him" I shook my had again saying "no I told him when I found out-" Mrs. Harrington cut me off saying "you mean two days , you waited two days you held this over him for two days and then you just dropped it on him" I frowned saying "I was scared I'm sixteen-" she cut me off again saying "well it's your fault for being a stupid girl" I felt tears build up before she added "so your gonna be a single mother now that's your plan" I shook my head saying "Stewart's offered to help me raise the baby" Mrs. Harrington laughed and I hadn't ever heard her laugh but I knew I didn't like it one bit. She spoke saying "oh sweetheart your way better of with us I mean he's sweet but look at were him and Cathy live my walk in closet is a bigger then their apartment and you expect to raise a baby their you'll have nothing". I responded saying "well I like Cathy a lot more then I like you and I'd trust her with my baby before I'd ever trust you". Mrs. Harrington rolled her eyes before saying "oh I don't care if you don't like me , my mother in law has hated me since before she even met me so if you don't like me I don't give a damn" I sighed saying "well Stewart has a job while Steve hasn't ever worked a day in his life and probably won't" Mrs. Harrington responded saying. "So let me get this strait your both going to work at Melvalds and raise the baby in a cramped shoe box you know Y/n that's a really good idea". I could tell by the tone of Mrs. Harrington's voice she was being sarcastic she spoke again saying "just get over it and go back to Steve you'll have anything you could ever want , we could find you two a small house you could stay home with the baby and we have houses all over so you could travel and take the baby with you , you could the life you've always wanted". I huffed saying "I don't want that , I don't want to stay home I want to be a writer that's my dream" Mrs. Harrington shook her head saying "well dreams are meant for sleeping so wake up , have you ever thought about Stewart's father huh he left you don't think Stewart would ever do that to you and a baby that isn't even his" I shook my head saying "Stewart would never do that" Mrs. Harrington chuckled saying. "You know it's funny because Cathy always told me that" I frowned as she added "you know I juts haven't been able to wrap it around my head why you I mean why would he like you , you bite your nails , you don't sit up straight , your shoes are filthy and all you ever do is complain I'm starting to think you talked him into this. I don't know why you would though I mean your mother is awful so maybe you thought if you'd do this you could get away from her and run to Steve or maybe you did it for money or maybe attention I don't know why you did it but it was probably the second stupidest thing you've done the first being thinking you were ever good enough for my son I mean maybe you talked him into it or who knows if your even pregnant you haven't let my son into any of the appointments. Now give me the check my husband and I gave you" I felt tears pour down my face before she added "I uh shouldn't have uh said that your probably sensitive" I pulled the check out of my bag and put it on the table before standing up and walking out of Benny's.

Mom handed me another tissue , I had just finished telling her about what happened at Benny's with Mrs. Harrington. She spoke saying "honey is that what upset you earlier , what was that" I shrugged and wiped away a few more tears before she added "now don't be mad at me but I might've peaked in the box and honey I feel bad saying this but it was all just junk. I mean it was movie ticket stubs and notes and just junk" I sighed saying "but mom it's not junk to me I want to keep it if not for me then for the baby". Mom responded saying "but I thought you were raising the baby with Stewart" I nodded saying "he is but I still want to have those things incase" Mom shrugged saying "incase what" I responded saying. "incase he does what his dad did to him" Mom sighed saying "you mean incase he leaves" I nodded before saying "I mean what if-" mom cut me off saying "honey I don't think he'd ever do that especially to you" I nodded again silently she added "sweetie I know Stewart and I know he'd never do what his father did" I sighed saying "I just wish everything was normal again" Mom sighed saying "sweetie this isn't normal okay none of this is normal , your having a baby and your only sixteen years old , you should be out having fun hanging out with your friends but your not". I frowned before she added "honey do you really want to keep this baby were not gonna be angry with you if you don't were not gonna treat you differently sweetheart you don't have to keep this baby if you don't want to , I mean do you seriously want to have this baby". I nodded saying "I do but-" mom cut me off saying "but what" I sighed saying "but I just want some normally" Mom responded saying "like what" I spoke saying. "well I'd like to be treated like normal , I want to be included and treated like a member of this family and not like a stranger who happens to live here" Mom responded saying. "If this is about your birthday then I'd also like to apologize to you about that , you didn't deserve that and if I'm being honest I know I haven't done a good job with you Y/n. I know you and I haven't always gotten along but I want to change that I want yo start putting an effort towards are relationship I want you to be able to come to me whenever about whatever okay". I nodded before she added "so is their anything else I could do" I shrugged saying "I actually want to apologize to you" she responded saying "about what sweetie" I frowned saying "I uh lied to you about why I wanted go on birth control , I said it was because of cramps but it wasn't and I-" mom cut me off saying "it's okay we don't need to talk about this right now okay why uh why don't we go see what your dads doing" I silently nodded before mom and I stood up and walked out of the living room.

"Y/n do you need help getting ready" I was currently unpacking my room when mom came in saying "what time is Stewart supposed to be here". I shrugged saying "I guess at seven" she nodded saying "well it's almost six thirty so we better get started" I responded saying "mom I told you I'm wearing jeans-" mom cut me off saying "and I told you young lady your not wearing jeans on a date I'll go look for something in your sisters closet yours is hopeless". I sighed before mom walked out of my room , I pulled out the baby's ultrasound photo that I had framed and put it beside my bed before looking around the room. It wasn't done and I had yet to fully decorate but I couldn't help but feel excited to have my own space a space I could share with my sweet pea. "Your so lucky" I turned to see Katie standing in the doorway before she added "you get your own room you get your own bathroom now I'm stuck sharing a bathroom with Jeffrey with Jeffrey he probably doesn't know the difference between his left and right foot" I sighed before Katie spoke again saying "god this is so unfair you get a couch and your get this space you know this is too much space for you and a baby-" Katie was cut of by Mom walking back in my room with a dress in her hands she spoke saying "Kathrine Elizabeth leave your sister alone" Katie rolled her eyes saying "but mom that's not- oh my god that's my dress she can't wear it she'll stretch it out" Mom scoffed saying "excuse me you'll apologize for that and yes she will wear that she's going a date she needs to look nice". Mom handed the dress to me saying "now go put this on young lady" I sighed and walked into the bathroom before changing into the dress. I walked out with the dress on I wasn't surprised that it didn't look like what it looked like on Katie because one Katie was much taller then I was and I had some more curves then she did. Katie chuckled saying "oh my god that is uh-" Mom gasped saying "it's short why is it short" I sighed before Katie spoke up saying "oh my god you know I don't really see a problem with it I mean it's not like she's gonna get pregnant" I frowned before mom scoffed saying " Kathrine apologize" Katie sighed saying "I'm sorry Y/n now can I have my dress back" mom shook her head saying "no I think she looks nice now Kathrine are you going to help us or not".

Steve's P.O.V I walked through the front door with the bag from Melvalds my hand was shaking I couldn't believe what had just happened , Mom walked into the entryway before saying "there you are goodness it's late were done with dinner , everybody's sitting in the family room". I nodded silently before she added "are you okay honey you look a funny" I nodded again before she spoke saying "remember when Nanny ask you've been at a study group" I sighed before handing the bag to mom walking down the hallway. I walked into the family room to see Nanny sitting their with a small puppy in her arms she spoke saying "well look who it is and where have you been Steven". Mom spoke saying "he's been at a study group" Nanny rolled her eyes saying "oh really Jenifer was that before or after he got a random girl knocked up". Mom huffed saying "she wasn't a random girl Lucille-" Nanny cut her off saying "excuse me I'm your mother in law you'll call me Ms. Harrington" Mom sighed saying "it wasn't a random girl Ms. Harrington it was his girlfriend". Nanny huffed before saying "what do you mean was what did you do Steven" I mumbled under my breath before Dad spoke up saying "excuse me Steven speak for god sakes you've been talking since you were eight months old and you've never shut up and now your being quiet". I huffed before he added "Steve what did you do-" I cut dad off saying "I punched Stewart" Moms jaw feel before Nanny spoke up saying "Stewart who's Stewart I'm lost". Mom spoke saying "Stewart is Cathy's son and what on gods earth is wrong with you why would you do that" I sighed before Polly spoke up saying "because he's screwing around with Y/n". Dad huffed saying "god damnit Jenifer none of this would've happened if you didn't yell at the girl" Mom huffed saying "well if you thought are son to be carful then we wouldn't be in this mess". Dad shook his head saying "oh no if you didn't lie to the kids and told them what really happened then we wouldn't be in this mess so don't you dare blame me Jenifer". Mom rolled her eyes and walked out of the family room before Nanny spoke up saying "well uh this has been interesting so know who wants to tell me what really happened between Steven and this not stupid girl".

Steve's P.O.V "You know John I don't think I've ever been in your office before" Nanny said , Nanny , dad and I were currently seated in my dad's home office. "Mother does that stupid dog really need to be in here" dad said before Nanny responded saying "John you leave Buffy alone she's perfectly well trained and behaved unlike Steven here". Dad huffed saying "Mother you did not just compare my son to a dog for Christ sake it doesn't even look like a dog it looks like a stupid bunny". Nanny rolled her eyes saying "okay so John what do you we do with this mess" Dad responded saying "well I was thinking that we could do what you and dad did for me and Jenifer" Nanny shook her head saying "oh no I loved your father dearly but that was a terrible idea to let you two get married at sixteen-" I cut Nanny off saying "you want me to get married". Dad sighed saying "well I mean-" Nanny cut dad off saying "no no no he is not getting married he's sixteen I let you make that foolish choice I'm not letting you make the same mistakes your father did I mean what does your mother do all day she got lucky she married rich and dropped out of high school I mean seriously John how have you not woken up and smelled the roses John you could've done so much better and you didn't you settled and do you know what an awful mother I am that I have raised a son that settles for someone like her". Dad huffed saying "excuse me that's my wife and you'll watch your tone mother" Nanny shook her head saying "your sister drove all the way to house and walked in going on and on about how your son got some random girl pregnant" Dad sighed saying "mother it wasn't some random girl it was Jack Yl/n's daughter" Nanny chuckled before saying "oh Jenifer was probably pissed when she heard that" Dad sighed again saying. "That's not the point mother" Nanny responded saying "well John what is the point , so this girl is she crazy" Dad shook his heading saying "I actually have never met her only in passing but from what I've been told she's got good grades is at the top of her all her classes , she has a small retail job and uh she plays softball well obviously not anymore but-" Nanny cut Dad off saying "Jesus John what did you read her diary". Dad shook his head saying "no I uh talked to Jack" Nanny responded saying "okay well what else is their" Dad shrugged before their was a knock on the office door , the door opened with mom on the other side. Nanny spoke again saying "were in a meeting what do you want" Mom responded saying "we have a visitor" dad sighed before she added "it's Diane" Nanny sighed saying "let her in I think we need to talk" Mom nodded before walking out of the office before Y/n's mom Mrs. Yl/n walked in , I haven't seen Mrs. Yl/n since Ohio and she again didn't look to happy to see me , she spoke saying "so your son goes around punching people now" Dad sighed saying "Diane I have it under control-" she quickly cut dad off saying "I doubt it now they probably can't press charges but-" this time dad cut Mrs. Yl/n off saying "do you seriously think she'd do that do you think she'd press charges against her sons only friend" Mrs. Yl/ n sighed before dad added "Diane he's a good kid but he's an outsider I mean sure that Paterson kid hangs out with him sometimes and so does Paige but I mean look at how screwed up their lives are" Mrs. Yl/n shook her head saying "oh no I'm sorry I'm not having it , you know what it's too late my daughter has moved on and found much better things and were done with you people you've got your money back you've gotten back your gifts and now we can be done with each other so you leave my family alone and I'll leave your alone understood" Dad nodded silently before Nanny spoke up saying "oh no Diane this isn't how this works and don't listen to my son he's just being a man now here's what going to happen eventually your daughter will wake up and realize she's going to need us that baby is going to need us and when she does we'll be here waiting now your going to go home and talk some sense into her and then my grandson will apologize for what I can only assume the many stupid things he's done. After that the baby will be born a paternity test will be taken-" Mrs. Yl/n cut Nanny off saying "excuse me I don't think so okay now I may not like it but that baby is his" Nanny sighed saying. "Now Diane it's simply routine I had one done on Polly and Steve" Dad's jaw feel saying "excuse me you did what to my children" Nanny responded saying "well you saw those kids when they were born they looked nothing like you they looked like-" Dad cut Nanny off saying "they looked like my children how could you do that to my children" Nanny rolled her eyes saying "that's not the point the point is we might as well get over this my stupid daughter has told the whole family and they'll be here for thanksgiving so by thanksgiving Steve and that girl better be back together does everyone understand". Mrs. Yl/n huffed saying "you don't even know her name , for gods sake you don't even know her" Nanny responded saying "well from what I here from Steve you don't seem to know her either now I don't judge anyone for having a favorite child but at least don't make it too obvious Diane". Mrs. Yl/n frowned saying "I was always right you people are monsters" Mrs. Yl/n turned before beginning to walk out of the office before she turned back looking at me saying. "Y/n might believe in second chances but I don't so stay away from daughter and don't you even look at her" Mrs. Yl/n then walked out of the office before Dad spoke again saying "Steven your excused Nanny and I need to talk alone". I stood up before Nanny spoke up saying "oh while your out Buffy needs to be walked" Dad rolled his eyes before I walked out of the office with Buffy.

Y/n's P.O.V "Okay can I look now" Stewart currently had his hands covering my eyes to hide whatever surprise he had been planning for tonight before Steve bruised Stewart's face. Stewart moved his hands before I saw what he had planned what appeared to be a small picnic , I could feel tears prick my eyes at the sweet gesture he spoke saying "you don't like it". I shook my head saying "no I love it I do it's just everything makes me cry now" he chuckled before saying "do you uh wanna sit" I nodded before Stewart and I walked over to the picnic blanket before Stewart spoke again saying "sorry about the uh blanket it was all I had" I nodded again before I realized the blanket was actually some old bed sheets I took the seat next to Stewart before saying "you didn't have to do all of this for me Stewart". Stewart responded saying "Y/n this is our first date I had to do something" I sighed saying "do you think we can do it" Stewart shrugged saying "do what" I responded saying "do you think that we can do this raise a baby together". Stewart nodded before I added "but uh what if you know you want to leave like-" Stewart cut me off saying "like my dad did to me". I nodded silently before he added "do you uh really think I'd do that to you Y/n I really care about you and it really hurts me that you'd think that" I frowned saying "I'm sorry I just I'm really scared of this" Stewart wiped the tears of my cheek saying "Y/n why are you scared , your parents support you , Katie supports you and you've got your friends and I'm here for you too". I frowned saying "but what if he doesn't ever want to be their what if he never wants to the baby or-" Stewart cut me off saying "who are you talking about" I responded saying "Steve" Stewart then sighed saying "Y/n I don't understand who do you wanna be with , who do you wanna raise the baby with me or him". I responded saying "you Stewart I want to raise this baby with you but I still want him to be able to have a chance with the baby to have a relationship with them" Stewart sighed saying "I understand but I'm just I'm afraid that's all". I shrugged saying "of what" Stewart responded saying "of you going back to him I mean look where he lives , look he has a car I don't he has money I don't he comes from a perfect family I mean his dad's great and mine sucks and he's gonna go somewhere one day and I'll be stuck here but I don't want you being stuck because I am I want you to have your own life and have your own dreams Y/n I'm just afraid that you'll see how much better he is". I frowned saying "Stewart I wouldn't do that and he's not better then you are and I don't care if you have money or if you have a car. I just care about you and you will have a life and your not stuck here okay I'm stuck here". Stewart responded saying "well I don't think there's anyone else I'd rather be stuck with then you".

"You know your dad's never been so uh scary before" I sighed saying "I don't know why he's being like that it's almost embarrassing" Stewart put the sleeping bag on the floor before he added. "How do you feel about the new room" I shrugged saying "I'm getting used to it" he nodded saying "so uh am I aloud to ask you how your feeling or is that gonna be awkward" I shook my head before he spoke again saying "have you uh talked to them yet" I shrugged saying "who". Stewart chuckled saying "okay don't tease me but I was the library earlier and picked up a book about baby's and stuff and uh I read that you should try talking to them so they get used to your voice". I thought my heart would melt and turn into a puddle at Stewart's words , it was probably the sweetest thing I ever heard and it showed me just how serious Stewart was about this and how much he cared and supported me. He spoke again saying "I know it's kinda silly isn't it" I shook my head quickly saying "no it's not it's really sweet I uh probably should be reading mine" he nodded silently before saying "well uh goodnight then" I chuckled saying "Stewart you don't have to sleep down their , you can sleep up with me if you want" he quickly shook his head before I added "Stewart it's no big deal come on here I made you some room" he shook his head saying "no thanks I have a feeling what your dad said earlier is the truth so uh-" I cut him off saying "Stewart please I don't want you to get chilly and besides we could watch a movie". Stewart sat up saying "fine what do you have to watch" I got out of bed before walking over to one of the boxes besides my dresser before pulling out a few vhs's I spoke saying "okay I've got Jaws , uh let's see uh I've got Poltergeist and uh oh I've got Halloween or uh Carrie-" Stewart cut me off saying "do you have any not scary movies" I chuckled saying "oh why are you still afraid that Jaws is gonna come and get you" he sighed saying "oh I'm sorry I wouldn't be making fun of people fears besides aren't you afraid of clowns" I nodded before he added "Y/n their clowns , clowns are funny" I shook my head saying "okay I've also got star wars-" Stewart cut me off saying "which one a new hope or empire" I sighed saying "both" Stewart nodded saying "what else". I responded saying "or I have grease , sound of music and uh never mind" Stewart spoke up saying "no what else is their" I sighed before muttering it under my breath , Stewart spoke up again saying "what was that , Y/n you don't have to be worried it's okay I'm not gonna tease you if it's another horror movie" I sighed again saying. "I uh it's not it's a movie I borrowed from Steve it's fast times it's his favorite , I uh probably should give it back" Stewart responded saying "it's up to you I guess" I nodded before he added "hey Y/n would it make you feel better if we watched a scary movie" I shook my head saying "no you don't like those they-" Stewart cut me of saying "Y/n can we please watch a scary movie" I sighed saying "only if you want to" Stewart responded saying "yes nothing would make me happier then to watch a scary movie with my best friend". I knew Stewart hated scary movies and I knew he only was doing it to make me feel better and honestly I was so thankful to have him in my life and thankful he was going to help me raise the baby.

Y/n's P.O.V I couldn't sleep I just couldn't not after what Stewart said , I quietly peeled out of Stewart's arms before tip toing to the bathroom quietly. I walked into the bathroom before walking in and turned on the light before closing the door , I looked into the mirror before I pulled up my shirt to see the tiny bit of pudge that what I could only assume was the beginnings of a baby bump. I couldn't lie but I was a bit nervous , I didn't know why though because this was my baby my son or my daughter growing inside of me and I loved them , it sounded ridiculous to be afraid to talk to them especially knowing that one day soon they'd be here in my arms and I'd be able to hold them , love them and talk to them for hours and be their to fully love and support them no matter who they'd be an I knew that they'd be pretty amazing and wonderful and I mean I wasn't really talking to anyone well I mean I was talking to the baby. The baby I loved more then life itself and one day they'd be here and they would talk and walk and I'd be able to here them laugh and smile and see them grow up to be what I can only assume was the most wonderful person that I'd get the chance to know and even better get to call them my child. I spoke saying "hi baby , I'm uh I'm your mommy but I uh guess you already figured that out" I of course got no response but I wasn't gonna give up I spoke again saying "I uh kinda shy sometimes but I'll try for you , I uh I love you so much I can't wait to see you and hold you but uh for now you can keep growing. I don't know if your a girl or a boy yet so and I uh I haven't really named you yet but for now I'll call you my sweet pea how does that sound. Uh let's see so you've been growing in my tummy for twelve weeks now and I think means that I'm in the first trimester whatever that means so I should probably read that book. I've been uh thinking and I think we should do this every night how does that sound". I again got no response and then rubbed the pudge on my stomach before pulling my shirt doesn't and walking out of the bathroom before walking back to bed to try and get a few hours of sleep.

Y/n's P.O.V I sat in the waiting room with Robin , it had been over a month since I had been here and I was just as nervous as I was the first time even though after talking to the baby I began to start to feel more relaxed and now was starting to count the days till my baby would be here. "Y/n Yl/n" the nurse said , I stood up with Robin before following the nurse down the hall we walked into the room when the nurse added "doctor Ryan should be here shortly" I nodded before the nurse walked out of the room. I took a seat on the examination table before Robin spoke saying "so uh are you excited" I nodded before she added "is it feel weird". I shrugged saying "what" she sighed saying "well uh I mean does it feel weird being here when your-" I cut her off saying "a sophomore in high school , when the biggest thing I was worried about today was my biology test and now I have detention on Saturday". she nodded silently before I added "I don't know if it's weird but it's defiantly not normal" before she could respond their was a knock on the door before it opened with Dr. Ryan on the other side. She spoke saying "how are we feeling" I nodded saying "good" she looked at Robin before saying "hi I'm Dr. Ryan" Robin responded saying "Robin , Robin Buckley" Dr. Ryan spoke again saying "your Angie's daughter right" Robin nodded before Dr. Ryan added "right Y/n anything new , have you had anymore nausea , light headiness any fatigue". I responded saying "uh a little nausea and I'm kinda always tired but no light headiness" she nodded saying "is their anything else , any questions" I responded saying "uh I I've been feeling the baby move-" she quickly cut me off saying "are you sure about that your only a little over twelve weeks , uh where are you feeling this movement" I pointed towards where I had been feeling those flutters before Dr. Ryan chuckled saying "oh uh that isn't the baby that's uh that's indigestion". Oh my god I am such an idiot , I can't believe I didn't realize that I mean sure this is my first baby and sure I was only sixteen but god that was so embarrassing that I couldn't figure that out. "So uh are we ready to see the baby" I nodded in excitement before Dr. Ryan spoke again saying "okay so could you sit back and lift up your shirt a bit" I sat back before she added "okay this is gonna be cold" she squirted the gel on my stomach before moving around the doppler before I heard that beautiful noise that made my heart flutter , it was the sound of my sweet baby's heart beating , Robin spoke up saying "what is that" Dr. Ryan spoke up saying "that is the baby's heartbeat" she nodded before Dr. Ryan added "Y/n do you happen to have a uh history of twins in your family" oh god , oh no. I spoke saying "uh I yeah why is it twins" she quickly shook her head saying "oh no I was just wondering your mom said something earlier about your brothers game" I took a sigh of relief before she added "I didn't mean to startle you" I shook my head saying "you didn't it's just it's one baby right". Dr. Ryan nodded saying "yes there's only one heartbeat which means there's only one baby and their it is" I looked on the monitor before seeing that small tiny blob that I loved more then anything on the screen she spoke again saying "they've grown" I responded saying "really" she nodded saying "yep really see how this has changed" I nodded before she added "and uh you might not be able to tell but these are the arms and uh right now it looks like these will eventually be their toes". Robin walked over to the monitor before she pointed at it saying "what is this" Dr. Ryan responded saying "those are the baby's toenails" Robin's jaw feel before Dr. Ryan added "pretty cool right , you kids still say cool don't you" Robin nodded before Dr. Ryan spoke again saying "would you like more pictures" I nodded before Dr. Ryan handed me a clothes to wipe the gel of my stomach before walking out of the office.

I walked into Melvalds with Robin to see Joyce sitting across the counter she spoke saying "hi girls" I walked up to the counter saying "is Stewart still here" Joyce nodded saying "he's in the back room sweetie" I nodded before walking into the back room to see Stewart. I walked in to see Stewart standing with a clipboard which I assumed meant he was doing inventory" I wrapped my arms around him before he spoke saying "I missed you" I responded saying "I missed you too" Stewart turned before putting the clipboard down on the table before pulling me into his arms and placing a kiss a top of my head. He spoke again saying "how's the baby" I pulled out the sonogram photos from my bag before handing them to Stewart before he looked at them he spoke saying "would you look at that" I chuckled before pointing to the photo saying "those are the arms and these are their toes and uh these are fingernails". Stewart nodded saying "can you believe this is growing inside of you" I shook my head before he added "hey so I was thinking Saturday that I could come over and build the crib for you , your dad said he needed help with it so I thought I would come over oh and I thought that I could help you put together the bookshelf and maybe kinda work on the baby's stuff". I frowned saying "oh that would be great-" Stewart cut me off saying "great I'll come over and uh oh Matt can come over to and help and is everything okay". I sighed saying "I really want you to come over and help but I can't I have detention" Stewart responded saying "what did you do" I frowned before he added "what did he do" I sighed again saying. "I was in English and he wouldn't stop bugging me and now I have to spend Saturday in detention with him sharpening pencils I'm sorry Stewart I-" Stewart cut me off but pulling me into his arms saying "I'm sorry about this Y/n I can come over tonight if you want" I quickly shook my head saying "no that's okay um Robin's gonna come over tonight and I was just gonna hand out with her if that's okay". Stewart nodded before a knock on the front door , a voice spoke saying "Stewart , Y/n I'm gonna go could you two show Colleen around" It was Ms. Byers. Stewart walked out of the room before I grabbed my work vest and my nametag on and walking out of the back room.
