It's been a few days and the house has felt different. Hailey has picked up a job at a small cafe to take after school hours. It's her last year of high school so she will pick up more hours after she graduates. By the time, her pregnancy should be almost over.

She has been looking for small apartments here even though Matthew has insisted she come live with him and his family.

While I appreciate his assistance, I prefer that she lives on her and grows her individuality. He said he will help her with everything, and he has been living up to his word so far.

I don't know how the Hernandez family works but I knew Gabriel's hand has to be in this. We have been getting packaged full of house supplies such as towels, food, cleaning supplies, little furniture.

I knew he was mainly doing this because of my sister and his cousin but honestly I didn't want any of it.

I texted him to stop and he pretended to not know what I meant. That he will keep doing what he needs to do no matter what.

The kids are accepting of there being a new member of the family and Mal is definitely excited. He hopes it is a boy so he can play with him. If only he knew he is going to be an uncle.

Rachel is the most excited one here, she won't leave Haileys side and sometimes I have to pull her away from her.

She thinks everything in the house is a danger hazard to her and she tries to move it away from Hailey. It is honestly funny but sweet.

I have been trying to help find somewhere for Hailey to move into after graduation but close to home. I want all of us together even if she's on her own.

She will be always be my baby sister no matter how much we fight or get along.

I just hope this all ends the way she expects it to.

As I get ready to take Mal and Nate to school, I hear a knock on the door. It can't be my parents because they never knock whenever they make their surprise visits to make sure we are at least still alive.

I go to the door and I open it a bit. I see him there, standing there.

"What are you... how did you find where I live?" I ask him.

He smirks.
"I am a Valentino and a Santos, it wasn't hard."

I roll my eyes.
"Of course it wasn't. What are you doing here?".

He looks in behind me.
"Well that is very rude of you. No invite inside. I let you in my home, I think we are past you keeping me outside".

I look away. I give in.

"Fine, come in" I say as I stand to the side to let him go in.

He walks in and I close the door behind me. I look at him look around the home. I can tell he was analyzing my place and I watch him do so.
