Margaret and Shakur's House -11am
*Ethan and Kathy finally bring home little Sophia to Margaret and Shakur's house, where they moved after the baby was born*
*Kathy holding Sophia*
Kathy- Hello baby...we're home now
Ethan- Maybe some day we can get a home of our own
Margaret- Good luck with that! Have you seen the prices on houses?!
Ethan- I thought maybe you guys would help with the money part...
Shakur- We have enough things to pay for besides, we are helping you with the baby, aren't we?
Kathy- Thank you for that by the way
Margaret- Of course we want the best for our granddaughter
*Kathy hands Sophia to Ethan and hugs Margaret*
Shakur- Ethan make sure you hold her head properly
Ethan- There is a way to hold a head wrong?
Margaret- I baby's head yes
*Kathy rolls her eyes*
Kathy- let me take her from you before you break her neck
*Kathy takes Sophia from Ethan*
Ethan- Shouldn't we put her in her crib?
Margaret- that is a good idea!
*They take Sophia to her crib and go back to the livingroom*
Ethan- Hey could um...could Kathy and I have a minute alone to take about stuff?
Margaret- Sure
*Margaret and Shakur leave the room*
Kathy- So...
Ethan- We have the baby...Now what?
Kathy- What do you mean now what?!
Ethan- Well I just never thought this far ahead
Kathy- Well I'm going to stay home with Sophia for a little then go back to school
Ethan- I mean how much longer do I have to work at the hardware store?
Kathy- How much longer?! We have a baby, soon I have to get a job!
Ethan- Margaret and Shakur said they'd help with the baby
Kathy- But for how long...They aren't going to take care of OUR baby forever. We have to act like grown ups we have a daughter now

Ethan- I am! But as a grown up I'd like to experience life

*Kathy rolls eyes*

Kathy- I hope you realize that the only thing you are going to be experiencing is changing diapers!

Ethan- But?

Kathy- But what? We have a daughter to raise!

Ethan- I know that!

Kathy- If you are serious about this then I need you to be here. Can you do that?

Ethan- for our daughter...of course

Grant High -11:30am
*Amy is back at school from maternity leave and is so tired! Ricky works all double shifts this week so she's stuck with taking care of the kids, doing her homework, cooking & cleaning, and trying to take care of herself as well.*
*She's asleep on her locker when Ben walks over*
Ben- Someone's a tired today
Amy- Just a little...
*Ben points out her pajama pants and slippers*
Amy- Omg! I completely forgot to put my jeans and boots on.
Ben- Ricky didn't see you before you left the house?
Amy- You know Ricky's been working double shifts this week... So you can stay home and relax
Ben- What's wrong with that?
Amy- Um we have two kids, a house to take care of and I would like to see my husband more than 2 hours a day!
Ben- If I was your husband you'd see me all the time
Amy- & Thats exactly why you're not my husband. Ricky's a great guy Ben, you should try and be one too
Ben- Ricky's not the best guy... Sooner or later he's gonna cheat on you and then you'll come running back to me. He'll just say it was a mistake, but trust me it wouldn't be
Amy- The mistake was dating you...  
*The bell rings and Amy goes to class*

Ricky- Hey Amy
Amy- Hi Ricky
Ricky- How was your day?
Amy- Tiring
Ricky- So was mine! Ben's coming back tomorrow, so I asked Bunny if I could switch my hours to 2pm-12am instead of 6am-4pm
Amy- You asked Bunny?
Ricky- Yes she said that it's fine
*Amy sighed*
Ricky- What?
Amy-You didn't ask me how I felt about it. I have been taking care of your kids, cooking and cleaning YOUR house, while still going to work and school. I need a break too ya know!?!
Ricky- First of all, you've been doing a great job with the kids, house, and keeping up with your school work, but I have to work!
Amy- Oh come on Ricky you don't have to work 50 hours a week! And you're acting like your the only one that works around here!
Ricky- I JUST said that you're doing a great job with everything
Amy- And yet you're still going work during the hours I need your help the most?Ugh.
Ricky- What do you want me to do, not work?
Amy- What? No! I didn't even say that.. You know what forget it! I'm going to sleep.
