Spring time. God I love it. Birds are singing. Dad been missing for 4 months now, there was a possible sighting of him. It hasn't been easy. Mom still disappears after a while she will be fine for 2 minutes and upset the next.

Josh and I have been going steady. I don't know if I'm his girlfriend or a friend that goes out occasionally. Daniel left for Fort Pendleton last week. Brittney is about 5 months pregnant now. But she wont tell anyone the gender, Aiden finally got his own apartment every Sunday we go to his house and eat dinner. James and Quinn are well James and Quinn.

"RIANNE" Mom yelled through the house. I rolled over to check my clock 6:30 am on a Friday morning, God help me.

"WHAT!" I yell back not in a particularly good mood due to shark week.

"BREAKFAST"

I sluggishly got up out of bed and slid on my butt downstairs to the kitchen.

"Oh my god its hideous" James snickers eating a pancake with no fork or knife.

"Who or what?" I ask to tired for early morning riddles

"You" Quinn retorts

"Eat your food before I put it on your face." I snap at him.

"GUYS! Quite arguing you even making the baby upset." Brittney scolded rubbing her belly "Its ok little boy its just Auntie Rianne and your Uncles Quinn and James."

James almost spit his orange juice.

"Spit not sallow like your girlfriend the other night James" Quinn said

"Ill deal with you later the fact is did I hear you say little boy? Am I having a nephew?" James said curiously moving closer to Brits belly and poking it softly "What are you?"

Britt turned bright red.

"Surprise?" Britt asked questionably.

"Its a good thing we don't need anymore hormones in the McCoy House." Quinn said jokingly

"No kidding and Quinn?" James asked

"Yeah?"

SMACK James punched Quinn in the nose.

"BOYS BREAK IT UP I DON'T WANT BLOOD ON MY KITCHEN FLOOR" Mom yelled as she walked in, then kissed Brittney's belly. "I knew all along i was going to have a little Grandson I was there at the Doctors Appointment." Mom smiled then looked at me
"Rianne Gabrielle I suggest you go upstairs and get dressed we have some friends coming over." Mom scolded
"Who?"

"And daddy bought me a new doll yesterday Wianne" Freddie said playing my hair
"What's her name Freddie?"

James POV
While Rianne was hanging out with Freddie I was ease dropping on Luke and Mom. My partner in crime Quinton had Baseball practice.
"Anna, Jeremy has been gone for 4 months his survival rate and chance of being found are dropping" Lucas says talking softly as if he's talking to a lover.
"I know Luke I just I need to keep hoping" Mom says her voice cracking. She's trying so hard to stay strong.
"I know Anna just know Im here for you"
"I know thank you Luke"
They hugged and Luke walks out .
