Chapter One
Home

Massie got out of the car along with her parents. Isaac had dropped the others off; Massie was coming home after being in the hospital for a couple of days. Her first day back.

She carried Aubrey out and walked inside. Her parents sat their stuff down and smiled at their daughter.

"You should go take her up to the nursery. Let her get used to you and the room." her mom said, rubbing her own six month pregnant belly.

Massie walked up the stairs to the bedroom next to her room. A month ago, she and her friends had painted it pale yellow and put in a white crib with a white and yellow checkered sheet and side bumpers.

Massie sat on the mahogany rocking chair and gently rocked Aubrey. The hospital had put her in a pink sleeper and a little pink hat. Aubrey had Massie's Amber eyes and her deep brown hair. She had Landon's full lips and Massie's nose. She was a real beauty.

She stayed asleep and Massie brought Aubrey into her room and set her down in the white and yellow bassinet, which is where Massie had planned for her to stay for at least the first 8 months of her life.

Then, Massie crawled into her bed and slept for a couple of hours.

She awoke to a cry, and looked at the clock. It said, 7:47 PM. She had only slept for 4 hours.

Massie walked over to the bassinet and picked Aubrey up. She lightly bounced her and walked around the room. Aubrey kept crying.

"Mom!" Massie yelled, "I need your help!"

Kendra ran to her room, "What? Is Aubrey alright?"

"She won't stop crying, I don't know what to do, Mom."

Kendra sighed, "Did you check her diaper? Or maybe she's hungry."

Massie Bit her lip, mad at herself for not thinking right. "Can you go fix her a bottle for me while I check her?"

Her mom thought for a minute. "Will you?" Massie asked, aggravated.

"I don't know Massie. If you were on your own...you'd have to do it all yourself. It's your baby, not mine."

Massie set her jaw, "Alright fine." she turned away and shut the door.

She set her down on the changing table in her room and checked her diaper. She was clean. Massie picked her up and walked to the Kitchen.

Massie had made the decision to bottle feed Aubrey because she didn't want to have to keep changing back and forth for when she was working or at school. She didn't have a problem with breast-feeding, it just would be more convenient this way.

One month later

Massie awoke up at 2 in the morning to Aubrey's cries. She stood up and picked her up. She took her into the Nursery and rocked her until she fell asleep. Then quickly after that, Massie fell asleep too.

Massie awoke to Aubrey's cries again. She opened her eyes and looked at the clock on Aubrey's wall. It read:8:23.

Massie stood up with a start, and quietly cussed. She set Aubrey down and she immediately started crying again. Massie grabbed a pair if jeans and from her room and shrugged her shorts off as she ran down the stairs. She slipped one leg in, hopped, and then fell down the rest of the stairs.

Kendra heard the noise and ran out of her room. "Massie?" she called out, holding her 7 month big stomach.

Massie stood up and quickly wiped away the few tears that spilled out. "Why didn't you wake me up. I'm so late." Massie sighed and pulled her pants up, ignoring the huge bruise on her thigh.

"Massie, wait! Where's the baby?" her mom called out.

Massie grabbed a couple bills and stuffed them into her pockets. "Can't you hear her crying? She's in her room!" she yelled and then ran out the door.

***

Massie walked in through the back door after work and heard Aubrey crying. Massie bit her lip and ran upstairs to find her girl laying in her crib, with tears streaming down her face.

"Mom! Dad! Did you guys just leave her here?" Massie screamed, picking Aubrey up. She heard her dad yell something, but she couldn't make it out.

Massie grabbed Aubrey's pacifier and went down the stairs where her parents were, at the table. "Did you guys even acknowledge that she was screaming?" Massie cried out.

Her dad took a deep breath. "Massie, there's something we need to tell you. Honey, we've thought that since you thought that you were old enough and mature enough to have a baby, you must be old enough and mature enough to have a place of your own."

Massie almost dropped Aubrey when he said what he did. She was speechless. Finally, she found the ability to muster up some words. "It's only been a month. You're sick of her, no wait, of us...only after a month. You want me to leave?"

Her mom opened and closed her mouth a couple of times, "It's just that...honey, we hate all the talk about us, about you being a tramp and all. And when the twins come-"

"Twins?" Massie asked.

"You dont remember? I told you like, a month ago!" her mom said with disbelief in her voice. "I'm having twins! Two boys. See, you never even cared."

"Because I was probably having a baby by then!" Massie yelled back. Aubrey started crying again.

"Hey girls, stop it!" her dad yelled, standing up.

"Dad? How can you guys do this? I thought you said you guys are going to be supportive with me? But no, you break under the pressure, not because taking care of her is too hard, but because the neighbors are talking." Massie took a deep breath and bounced Aubrey up and down on her hip to keep her from crying. "Fine. I'll leave, and I don't give a-"

"Language," her dad said quietly.

She ignored him and went on. "What you guys do. I'm going to raise this baby better then you two raised me. I'm not even sure if I'm going to let you see her anymore."

"We have every right too-" Kendra started.

"Not if you kick me out."

Massie's mom let out a breath. "Honey, we do love you, but this was your choice. And there's no way we all can take care of three newborns in two months."

"You'll be close to us, we found a nice double-wide and it already has furniture in it. Darling, this is why we wanted you to get a job, because we knew that sooner or later, you'd be living on your own. But you won't be on your own, we will be here and we'll help of you need us too, but not everyday."

"Where is she supposed to go while I work, then?"

"Day care? A nanny?" Massie's mom suggested.

"Oh no, I will not have someone else raising my daughter. I know that's what you two did, had some stranger practically raise me." Massie said quietly.

Her parents were silent and Massie ran up the stairs to call Claire.

"Claire, my parents are kicking me out because..." she told Claire the whole story. "So, I need a place to stay while all mine and Audrey's stuff is being moved to our new house. I do not want to stay another night here."

"Of course, come on over." Claire said. They hung up and Massie packed a small bag of stuff for her and Aubrey.

Massie was mad that her parents were kicking her out, especially mad at them since they wanted her out only because the neighbors were talking. But no, that's not the real reason why she was fuming. The main reason why she was angry is because it was July 30th. Her 15th birthday.

Okay hopefully you all liked it! Hopefully it was pretty believable :p Sorry I keep having to say "her dad" I can't remember his name for the life of me. If any of you know it, PLEASE let me know. Also, I could be wrong on Massie's birthday, but I'm pretty sure that it's July 30, cuz that's when Lisi Harrison's bday is, and she's said that her and Massie share a birthday. Anywhoo, reviews please! Make sure to subscribe(alert) so that you can keep up with the drama, haha. See ya next Monday!
