Those blue eyes

6

Stephanie heard a knock on the front door.
She looked confusedly outside of her window and saw the girls.
She ran down and opened the door to greet them.

"Hi baby!" Mac said.

"Ladies." She greeted and Mac kissed her.
The girls walked in and put the money down.
"Where were you guys?" Stephanie asked them.

"We had business to take care of." Spencer said.

"I can see that it went well as usual." Steph said gesturing to the several money bags.

"Baby, when have we ever not been the best?" Spencer asked with a smile.

"You've always been the best." She said then Spencer kissed her.

"That's my girl." Spencer said and Steph blushed.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Stephanie sat on her bed with her knees to her chest.

"You don't just leave like that Stephanie. Consider this your first offense." Spencer said. "I'm sorry." She said and held her.
Stephanie sat there silent wincing at the contact.
"Get some sleep." Spencer said.

Stephanie hurriedly got under her comforter and turned her back on Spencer.

/what else could you expect? You're barely a person. Just property. And they're criminals. Of course promises don't make any difference./ Stephanie thought. She felt arms wrap around her.
She turned and saw Juliette beside her. Her anger lightened, she smiled lightly and cuddled into her.

Bree bit her lip while pacing.
"Bree, please sit down." Spencer said.

"She hates us." Bree said.

"No, Jules went up there and hasn't come down so I think that means we're good." Mac said.

"She hates me." Spencer said. "I promised her and then broke it. like it was nothing."

"Don't be so hard on yourself."

"It's the truth." Spencer said and put her face in her hands.

Stephanie sat up and put on clothes, leaving Juliette asleep in bed.
She walked downstairs.

"Stephanie?" The girls said.

"Ladies." She greeted.

"Why are you still up?" Spencer asked.

"Couldn't sleep. I have to go back home." she grabbed a jacket and put it on.

"What?"

"I have to go back home." She repeated.

"Why?"

"My ex girlfriend showed up at Matthews' house with Ryan."

"Who is Ryan?"

"My son." Stephanie said and walked out.

"Bu-" Asia said.

"Okay." Spencer interrupted her.

"So she wasn't a virgin." Mac whispered.

Stephanie got into a car and drove to Matthews' house. She got out and saw a little boy crawling around the house.

She walked up to the door and Matt answered pulling her into a hug.

"Where is she?" She asked and he gestured to the kitchen.
She nodded and walked in.
"What are you doing here?" She asked her.

"Ryan wanted to see his other mom and you haven't been a model parent."

"I send you money for him. I buy him all of his clothes, send him Christmas presents, hell I even buy you food for him when you're having trouble. But I'm not the problem, you are."
