Harry: 34
Darcy: 17
Bowie: 12 (1 month before he turns 13)

"Well maybe I don't want you to be in our baby's life either!"Darcy yells, her phone tucked to her ear as she paces angrily through the front yard. It's dark, past 11 and all of her siblings (except Lennon) are tucked in bed.

She had texted Michael earlier in the day saying that they should talk about what they're going to do, but he never responded. Instead, he called her half drunk at 10:30 at night to scream at her and tell her that he wanted nothing to do with either her or the baby.

"Go to hell, Michael,"she yells before angrily slamming the end call button on her phone. She shoves it into her pocket before she succumbs to her emotions and falls to the grass on her bum, sobbing.

She almost screams from fright when she feels a gentle hand placed on her shoulder. She looks up from hiding her face in her knees, and even in the pitch darkness she can make out Bowie's figure. His straight brown hair falling in his eyes that he casually pushes away with his fingers.

They've always had a hilarious relationship. Teasing each other to no end and always bugging each other to the point of frustration. A true sibling relationship.

He doesn't say anything, just sits down quietly next to her with a gentle hand on her trembling back.

"What are you doing awake?" Her voice shakes as she says it, and her lips waver as she sees her baby brother looking at her with concerned eyes. Bowie isn't one to easily show how he feels, but she can tell that he's really concerned about her.

"Someone was being a bit loud,"he jokes quietly, a small smile trying his face as he looks over at Darcy, hoping she not too sad to joke.

Darcy wetly chuckles a bit, shaking her head, "sorry, bud. It's been a rough day."

"Because of the baby?"Bowie asks.

"No,"Darcy rolls her eyes jokingly, "because I got a bad grade on my geography test."

Bowie's face lights up with a smile as he realizes that Darcy is in the mood to joke with him.
Her sniffles bring him back, however, to reality as he catches her wiping at her eyes that are still leaking.

"Dad's not mad, you know,"Bowie whispers, "if that's what you're worried about. I was eavesdropping on him and he was talking to Uncle Lou on the phone. He said he's just nervous."

"I think he's mad, Bow,"Darcy replies, hiccuping, "I disappointed him a lot."

Bowie doesn't know what to say, so he just continues to pat Darcy's back lightly.

"What else did he say on the phone?"

"He was mainly just worried about you. He was saying how he knew how hard it was to be a teen parent because him and mum had you. I think he's just scared not mad."

"You can be kinda smart sometimes, bud,"Darcy smirks, resting her cheek on her bent knees that she's hugging and looking over at Bowie.

"I thought you were going to get mad at me for eavesdropping on your phone conversation and dad's phone conversation,"Bowie says a bit surprised at how he hasn't been chastised yet, "thought you'd tell me it's rude."

"It is,"Darcy nods, "but I'll let it slide this time since it was useful information." Darcy winks at him causing him to smile a bit. "How much of my conversation did you hear?"

"Most of it,"Bowie admits, "it was Michael, right?"

Darcy nods, taking a big breath as she feels tears gather up in her eyes again, her throat constricting to the point where she doesn't think she can talk.
