*Libbie's POV*

May 20th

I'm just about six months along in my pregnancy, and I swear overnight I got bigger. People are noticing now, they know what's going on. Teachers have even noticed and have given me that 'sympathetic, yet doubtful' look. It was hard in the beginning dealing with the looks and snide comments, but I'm getting better at handling things. And, with Gage, Mackenzie, and Cody by my side, things are that much easier as well. I can't thank them enough for everything they're doing for me.

Around school, I'll hear things like, 'Did you hear that Elizabeth Morgan is pregnant?' or 'She's only sixteen! She's not going to have a life!' or 'That poor kid won't be raised right, because after all, Libbie's only a kid herself.' Yeah, that one stung a little, but it only empowers me more to prove them wrong. And I know I will. My baby will be perfectly fine, I have no doubt.

~Until next month

*Gage's POV*

May 22

Another month has gone by, and of course, more things are being said about Libbie and I, even our friends. It's taken a lot of me to not go completely insane on their asses, because we all know they deserve it. No one will talk about my girlfriend or our friends that way. They've said things like, 'Gage is insane for staying with Libbie!' or 'How can Gage be with a little slut like that?' or 'The kid will wind up as fucked up in the head as the two of them combined.' I've gotten passed those little comments, though, because if I let all those bother me, how am I going to be able to raise my kid in a good, nurturing way? 

Besides the kids at school, I've still got Halle on my case. She's been texting me several times throughout the weeks, telling me she is going to make sure I'm not a good father to my child, that she's going to make sure Libbie leaves me. Her comments have scared me, in all honesty, because I know what she's capable of. I'm afraid she'll do something to hurt me or Libbie, or especially the baby. I've got to do something about this, but I don't know where to start.

I'll figure something out because I've got to protect my family.

*Andy's POV*

May 23

I've finally heard the first comments about my daughter and my grandson (we found she's having a boy). Joe and I were shopping just a few days ago, and there was a group of school parents there as well. As we passed them, though they didn't realize who we were, they didn't try to hide the fact that they were talking about Libbie quite loudly. They said things like, 'How could a sixteen year old go and get pregnant?!' and 'She must not have a good home life if this is what happened!' and 'I should find out who her parents are so I can give them a good talking to!' That's what got me most. How dare these parents whom I had never seen in my life judge my daughter and both Joe and I. How dare they judge our actions and say that we aren't raising our daughter to our full potential. How dare they!

Of course, Libbie's pregnancy came as a shock to all of us, but it doesn't mean we love her any less or care for her any less. Libbie has always been my daughter, she's always been in the back of my head, even before I had met her for the first time. Nothing will ever change how much I love her or care for her. She will always be my baby girl for as long as I live, and as her father, I will never judge her for her actions or what come about from them. I may not be happy with her at times, but I love her and nothing will change that.

With unconditional love until my last day, Andy.

*Joe's POV*

May 25

Gage came to me just the other day and began telling me about everything that has happened between him and Halle since she left. He seemed genuinely shaken to his very core about what could happen to himself, Libbie, and the baby. It frightened me as well, knowing that the three people I care about so much could be in danger. He insisted he knew what she was capable of, granted he had been at the front of many of her 'attacks.' I asked him if he had talked to Libbie or Andy yet, but he hadn't. We're all going to have to have a talk someday soon, just to more or less warn the two of them about what Halle's been saying.

Until June, I'm keeping you under lock and key.

Okay, so this wasn't great, but I felt like I needed to update<3
