I sat up with Kat, we sat in the living room and talked about what my next move is. Cassidy, Wren and Sarah are on their way here as well. Kat and I have talked about one thing but I'm not sure if it's a good move. I smiled as the three other girls came piling into the living room. All of us were getting so big but Wren is the biggest, obviously in a good way. Sarah sat down on the couch next to Kat. Wren sat next to me while Cassidy stole the lounge chair. We were all in sweat pants, slacks or our pjs.

"So what's so ergent that I need to miss Coronation Street?" Sarah asked trying to be sweet but we knew she was rather annoyed at us. I looked over at Kat and smiled. 

"We have an idea of how we can save money and still give our kids a good life." I announced happily. My voice chimming with glee. They watched me in hopes that I'll pull out a money tree. 

"There's a house down the street, it has six bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's going for $5OO.OO. The rent is cheap, it's $45O a month and if we move in together we can like share all the baby stuff." Kat announced sullenly. She did her research this morning. Sarah raised an eye brow at the idea. It was a good idea, I'll give her that but none of us have a job and how will we buy this house and keep it?

"How can we afford it?" Wren asked rubbing her belly. 

"Frank's got a job, he works at the dollar store they pay very well like big bucks. I mean like $3OO a week. And I'm applying for a job plus I babysit." Kat said her part of the plan. I wrinkled my nose at the thought of getting a job. 

"Yeah, Ray's got a good paying job and I'm working already. So that's almost $5OO a week from us." Cassidy announced happily. I sighed and waited for Wren and Sarah to reply with something. So far that's almost $1,OOO a week from four of us. That's amazing. 

"I got a weekend job." Wren muttered softly. I nodded as our plan came into action. 

"It pays $11 an hour." She added softly. 

"Gerard has a well paying job." Sarah announced happily. All these numbers have got to add up some how. I grabbed the note book and pen. I smiled and wrote down these numbers. I looked up at Sarah and grinned as the numbers got bigger. 

"How much is he paid a week?" I asked softly. Sarah thought for a moment and grinned. 

"$15O." She said sweetly. 

3OO + 5OO + 1OO + 88 + 15O = $1,138/per week X 4 = 4,552/per month.

"And I could get a job too." I said adding up all the numbers. I showed them the amount we have a week and such. Everything looked so easy but in reality we're gonna need to work our butts off. If even one of us is put on bed rest the rest of us will have to work over time.  But how are we going to get eight hours a day? I must've asked this out loud since I got a responce.

"There's a parenting programme at school where we go in before or after work and get the work we need and on our days off we don't need to go into school but we can work at work or at home." Kat was the man with the plan. She always knew what to do.
