'Is she smiling yet?' Ava asks

'Yeah whenever we start talking she smiles, don't you?' Hailey asks Elizabeth, Elizabeth starts smiling

'Aw' Amanda says

'Where's Claire at?' Brittany asks

'She's in trouble she talked back to Aria, so all three of them are upstairs talking' Savannah says

'That doesn't sound like Claire' Hailey says

'It sounds like you' Ava says

'I know but when I talk back I don't know that I have until they explain that I have but Claire knew that she did because she covered her mouth afterwards' Savannah says

'Maybe it's the time of the month getting her period' Brittany says

'Who knows' Amanda says

-

Upstairs in Mona's and Aria's room

'I don't know how to handle punishing Claire usually it's Savannah that we are punishing' Mona says

'I know, but we can let her get a free pass that's not fair to Savannah' Aria says

'Yeah, so what two weeks ground' Mona says

'That seems fair' Aria says

'Alright let's get this over with' Mona says, they leave their room

-

They walk in Claire's room and sees Claire holding Elizabeth with Hailey, Brittany and Savannah around them

'Let us know when she starts crying' Hailey says

'Oh trust me we will hear her' Brittany says, her and Hailey leaves

'Wow She's getting big' Aria says, they walk up to them

'I forgot how fast they grow up' Mona says

'So what's my punishment?' Claire asks

'Well we are conflicted because we never have punished you before and it's weird' Aria says

'Can I say something before you do punished her' Savannah says

'Please do' Mona says

'Just let this one slide I know that you guys are parents and you guys are supposed to punished us when do something wrong but this is Claire that we are talking about here she knew what she said was wrong she realized that afterwards unlike me besides there was a couple of times that you let it slide with me' Savannah says

'We have?' Aria asks

'Yeah, can you take her sava?' Claire asks

'Yeah' Savannah says, she takes Elizabeth

Claire gets up and walks up to dresser drawer opens it she gets out this black book she turns around and walks up to Mona and Aria

'I kept track of when Savannah gets trouble just in something like this happens to me and if you guys can let it slide depending on what I did' Claire says

'Smart girl' Aria says, Claire opens the book and goes to a certain page

'Here's one when Savannah was thirteen and she was caught 'smoking' but turns out it was Brittany's cigarettes' Claire says

'Oh yeah I forgot about one' Mona says

'A couple of years later when she was fifteen she ran out of gas and it was past her curfew before she got home' Claire says

'Ok next' Aria says

'Just recently you guys thought she had drugs in her room and it turned out to be medicine that she has to take' Claire says, she closes black book and puts it away, Savannah hands her Elizabeth back to her

'Yeah we're going to let this one slide' Aria says

'Yeah' Mona says

'But I am sorry that back talk you' Claire says, Aria smiles

'Eh it's fine, you didn't mean to you guys are stressed out about school, work, home life, girlfriends and so on, that it gets to the point where things gets overwhelming that you guys explode' Aria says

'Yeah but wait until marriage it's get ten times harder then now because you guys will have kids too' Mona says

'I don't doubt it' Claire says

'How long have you guys been married for?' Savannah asks

'This year will make eighteen years, right?' Mona asks

'Yeah' Aria says

'Trust me after fifteen years you lose track of how long you been married for luckily hopefully you guys will have someone who keeps track' Mona says

'Me' Claire says

'Amanda' Savannah says, Brittany and Hailey walks in

'Hey sorry but we have to get going we have a doctors appointment at four' Hailey says

'Oh ok' Claire says, she hands her Elizabeth

'I can't believe she let you hold her for that without crying' Brittany says

'Well it depends on if you're calm or not, and Claire is always calm' Mona says

'I try to be' Claire says, Hailey smiles

'Say bye bye' Hailey says

'Bye' everybody says, then they leave, then Amanda and Ava walks in

'I think Elizabeth bought them closer together' Ava says

'I heard some times babies do and some times they don't bring people closer together depending if the people are ready or not' Savannah says

'Yeah that is true' Aria says

'I was just thinking about this what if one of us was pregnant would be capable of handle that kind of responsibility' Amanda says

'Me probably no' Savannah says

'I'll try my best' Claire says

'Maybe' Ava says

'Probably not either, was you guys scared when you found out that Mona was pregnant with Sava?' Amanda asks

'Um more like nervous then scared because we planned on having Savannah and Claire was a surprise addition because we was just going to have one kid but we got lucky with another one' Aria says

'Yeah Claire was a surprise blessing, Savannah was planned I would say what after our third in high school' Mona says

'Yeah' Aria says

'What!?' Everybody says, at the same time

'Well we knew that we was going to be together even after high school ended so figured why not plan now that way after college and be financially stable then start having a kid' Aria says

'And eighteen years later you guys are still together strongly' Claire says

'With two beautiful and smart children' Savannah says, they laugh

'Time to start dinner, excuse us' Mona says, they leave And goes downstairs

'We gotta go to work, we'll see you guys later, love you' Ava says

'Ok see you later, love you too' Claire says, they kiss and Ava leaves

'Bye I'll see you later, love you' Amanda says

'Ok see you later, love you too' Savannah says, they kiss and Amanda leaves, they stay in Claire's room until dinner is ready
