Carmen's POV:

Today, I am going back to school. It has been two weeks and I am more than ready. Especially because I am tired of listening to my parents fight anytime they are in the same room. This pregnancy is getting really hard physically on my mom, but she is the most stubborn person I know so she's trying to fight it. My dad is, as always, just trying to help but she freaks out on him.

I walk downstairs and my dad is making breakfast, "Hey kid! How does your shoulder feel?" He smiles at me. They both are happy around me alone, it is just when the other one walks into the room the whole vibe just changes. "It feels good. It still hurts a little bit to move it around, but it is a lot better."

My dad nods, "Great. Remember to take that note saying still no gym class okay? Is it in your backpack?"

"Yes dad" I laugh and take a plate of pancakes from him. We both sit down at the counter and start eating. My mom comes down into the kitchen holding her shoes. She sits down on the stool and hands them to me, "Carmen can you put these on for me? I can't bend over."

"Sure" I take them and put them on her feet. I hear my dad as he starts washing dishes, "Are you finally admitting that you need help?"

I watch as my mom rolls her eyes, "Not from you!"

I sigh and grab my backpack, "I'm just gonna leave for school. I will see you guys tonight. Try not to kill each other."

"Bye love you" They both say at the same time as I walk out of the door. I get into my car and take a deep breath. I would be lying if I said I didn't have a little bit of anxiety driving again, even though I wasn't driving when it happened. It's kinda scary but I will just be safe.

I walk over to my locker and see Chris standing there, "Hey!" I smile at him and kiss him softly.

"Hey, things any better at home?" He asks.

I sigh and shake my head, "I wish but no. My mom was doing well the entire time and letting us help her, but now she has decided she doesn't want it again. My aunt Meredith says my parents always have little fights like this so I am not worried, I just want them to get it together cause it is starting to annoy me. And they don't like when I meddle into their relationship so I am trying to stay out of it, but it is hard when they argue right outside my bedroom. I think I am going to text my Aunt Megan. Ugh sorry I am rambling - how are you doing?"

Chris laughs, "It's cute when you ramble. But anyways I'm good. I am glad we are back at school. But I am also sure that your parents will get things figured out." He says as he wraps his arm around my waist to walk me to class.

Amelia's POV:

Owen brings Blake downstairs and she is crying, "Amelia she's warm."

I walk over to him and take her In my arms. She still keeps crying. I look up at him, "What do we do? We have never had a sick baby Owen"

He puts his hand on my arm. I relax a bit under his touch, we haven't been very close the past two weeks. "We are doctors. We can do this. Let's see if she will eat. And take her clothes off if she is warm."

I nod and undress her, leaving her in her diaper. I grab some food and try to feed it to her. She immediately turns her head away and cries. "Baby, come on" I sigh.

I watch as Blake pulls on her ears, "Owen didn't you have a hard time getting her down last night?" He nods and walks over to us, "yeah she looked so tired but wouldn't sleep. She was fussy. And she normally is really happy when either of us gets her in the morning but she just wasn't happy today."
