-Cassidy-

My mom came to pick me up. I wonder what she needs to talk about? I bet it's got to do with the whole age thing. It's amazing to think that we're all different ages. Well most of us. Let me go from the oldest to youngest.

Gerard, he's 19. Then comes Ray who's 18. Then there's Kat who's now 17. The Sarah who's born the day after Kat. Then  Mikey and Frank who's 17 and Wren who's 16. Then finally me and Holly who are 16. So there's bit of an age difference between all of us. I think the biggest difference is between me and Ray. 

Mom isn't happy that I'm 16 and having a baby with a legal adult. But she says what happens, happens for a reason. I think she's right. I sat on the couch in my living room. A glass of flavoured water sat on the table in front of me. I could feel Bethany moving around happily tapping me, letting me know she's there. I smiled happily. 

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. So please don't take my sunshine away." I sang quietly to my baby girl.  My gaze was caught by my mom coming in and sitting in the chair in front of me. She wore a saddened expression. 

"Cassidy, we haven't talked about this at all." She began. I knew what she was on about. She was talking about this whole thing. I sat up straight and nodded as we began to talk about the one thing she never told me. This is the first time I've actually sat down with my mom in three years; since my dad walked out. I've basically lived with Sarah since. Her parents are cool, they let me stay over. I exhaled a deep breath.

"You wanna know what we're going to do, right?" I asked softly. She nodded slightly. I began to tell her my life plan. I know she's going to be pissed but I don't give a rat's ass; I am who I am.
