The only ones who had gotten their licenses where Amelio and Leon. The others can drive, just not legally. In one car with Ma Jade was her teenaged clone, Prince, and Jordin. In the other with Ma Perrie, it was Leon, Josh, and Jasmine.

"I'm not shittin' on it. I'm just saying today's music sounds like Daft Punk and R2D2 having sex. Ma, can you turn on some The Weeknd?"

"Sounds a lot like you shitting on it. And who the hell is even The Weeknd?" Amelio gasps in offense. "Oh, you don't bump to The Weeknd? You gotta not," he wags his finger.

"I would if I knew who the bloody hell he is," Prince says.

"Someone that gets screwed over by the Grammys every year. Blinding Lights was number one for 52 weeks; the only song to this day to do so. No Grammy. Not even a nominee," he says, fixing his hair in the visor's mirror.

"I remember that. We tried to boycott the Scammys," Jade adds, turning on the After Hours album.

"That was before we were even born, Meli. You weren't even in Ma at the time."

Jordin grimaces, "Please, don't. I still get war flashbacks from when we were 13. Most descriptive birds and bees talk if I've ever heard one."

"We agreed not to hold anything back. Your brother probably missed out on the protection part of the talk," the woman says, looking at her daughter in the mirror as she drove towards her work.

The teens share a laugh.

At the time, Josh had only told Jordin about the baby the day before their 14th birthday party. He wanted to have fun before his parents punished him for not being responsible.

The rest found out because of Leon's big mouth. He and Josh nearly got into a scrap in the front yard, but Jazz separated them.

The mothers were highly disappointed, and thought him being a young dad was enough punishment besides the putting condoms on his bed, in his clothes drawers, and the pockets of his uniform slacks.

On October 4, 2034, little Paris was born. The same birthday as her gran.

The mother bailed on her second birthday when she didn't show up at her birthday party the big family threw for her. The boy was beyond angry, but with his family's help, he's raising the little diva as a single dad.

And he loves it.

"Ooh, this is my song! Ma, can you turn this up, please?" Amelio says and she does so. "Ooooh, I'm blinded by the lights. No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch. I said ooooh, I'm drowning in the night. Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust. Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Both mother and son sung together while the other two sat in the back with amused grins.

Meanwhile, Prince and Jazz were arguing over something that sounded pretty serious.

"I'm just saying why call yourself 'Invincible' when you've almost been killed like five times before the second season?"

"He was a new hero. Meaning he just got his powers."

"But his dad is Uni-Man-,"

"Omni-Man," Jasmine corrects with a slightly pink face and a clenched fist. "Whatever. My point is, don't call yourself something you're not," Prince shrugs. "It's stupid." Jasmine starts to reach over to him, but was stopped.

Josh, who was between them, moves them to both sit back. "P, stop messing with her. Jazz, we all know Atom Eve is the best superhero."

"Yeah, I know, but-," Josh shakes his head and puts his finger on his lips. "Just let it go. It's not worth it."

"Jazz, did you take your vitamins?" Ma Perrie asks, looking at her in the rear view mirror. The only other girl folds her arms over her chest defiantly. "Jasmine Leighade-," she warns and the girl sighs.

"No, Ma," she mumbles.

The woman was having none of it.

She goes into the glove compartment for the girl's special vitamins and gives her two. "Jazzy, you know you're easily agitated if you don't take them."

"And you have a hard time concentrating," Josh adds. Jasmine takes the chalky little pills and drinks the water Prince already had in silence. "No wonder you're all red," he says.

She gives him the bottle back then leans her head on the window.

Jasmine was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD when she was 7 and has been taking medication for it. Both twins had it, but Amelio puts all his energy in the different activities he's apart of; dance, theater, and his personal favorite, chorus.

She wants to act alongside him, but she's known as the calm and shy twin. So, performing in front of people wasn't an option. Though, she's a good singer and would harmonize with him while at home.

In fact, most of the children could sing pretty well considering their parents all have amazing vocals of their own.

After Ma Perrie drops herself off at work, Prince got behind the wheel and carried them off to school.

The others were already there and was in the cafeteria at their table.

Apart from being the most interesting group of siblings, they're also the most popular and the most desirable. All genders wanted a Pinnock, but some were pretty disappointed they didn't stand a chance.

Jazz and Jordin are the playgirls, Amelio and Leon are taken, and the rest are single. Josh would rather stay single; he's doing just fine with it. The rest are playing the field.

Leigh told them they can be in committed relationships after school to avoid any distractions. Amelio and Monty are three years strong, so no problems there.

Leon and Mani are only a few months old, but so far, so good.

"Happy birthday, Pincocks," Monty says when the rest of the clan sits down with trays of breakfast foods. He had his arm around Amelio while the boy played on his phone. "Thanks, Mozzarella," Jordin says, sitting at the end of the table.

From her view, she could see the girl from this morning talking to her friends animatedly, smirking to herself when she hears a bit of the conversation.

Talking about last night. Man, that was fun. She thinks. "You fucked Grande, didn't you?" Josh whispers from beside her. "Yep," she says and he raises an eyebrow.

"You know she got a boyfriend, right?" She looks at him with unimpressed hazels. "What's he gonna do? Beat me up?" She scoffs, playing with her food.
