Demi and Kalani walked into Debs looking for cute dresses, or skirts. "So, who were they?" Demi asked holding Isaac, rocking him to sleep.
"Jess and I were friends in preschool. In 3rd grade we met Cari, and her sister Paige. Brittani moved here when we started middle school, and Hayden joined our clique in freshman year." Kalani explained. Demi smiled.
"Do they go to your old school?" Demi asked, referring to the school Kalani just left. The teen mom shook he head.
"No they go to OSCA, where I will be going!" Kalani beamed. Demi spotted a little black dress, calling Kalani's name. She pulled the 16-year-old into the golden lit store, hastily.
"Kali you have to get that!" Demi squealed, trying not to wake Isaac. He was in the in between stage of sleeping and not sleeping. Kalani smiled uneasily.
"You think so? It's not really my style." Kalani spoke wearily. She was trying to get out of trying it on because of her 'baby weight'.
"Come on! For me. If you don't like it, we don't have to buy it." Demi bargained. Kalani sighed, and found one in her size. Once she tried it on, she looked in the mirror and started to bawl. Slowly, she came out as Demi knocked on the door. "Sweetie what's wrong?" Demi asked. Kalani wiped her tears, and looked at Isaac with a sighed.
"If it wasn't for me being so stupid, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant, and I wouldn't be so upset looking at myself in the mirror. Mom, all I see is fat." Kalani cried. Demi took a deep breath, and sent her to go change. They left the mall with a lot of things for the kids, but not that many things for Kalani.
"Are you sure you don't want ice cream?" Demi asked. Kalani shook her head looking out the window. "Kali, don't beat yourself up. You look amazing for 6 weeks postpartum. I swear." Demi said, trying to pick up her mood. Kalani cracked a half smile, and sighed. The entire ride home Kalani's gaze never left the road. She felt so bad about herself, and nothing anyone could say would change it.

Once the girls got home Kalani took Isaac to her room to change him. Demi headed to the kitchen to start dinner. She turned on E! Entertainment to get her mind off of Kali as she was cooking. Big mistake. "Are Vanessa and Austin over? Was Demi Lovato a teen mom? And did Selena Gomez sleep with Harry Styles to get back at Justin? Let's find out in just a minute. I'm Gulianna Ranic, and you are watching E! News." The reporter said. Demi turned off the tv and threw the remote against the wall. The black piece of plastic shattered on contact. Quickly, Demetria called the only person she could talk to about this. After a few minutes her rock answered.
"I am 28 years old, Kali is 16! I would have had her at 12, fucking, years old for this to be true!" Demi exclaimed Face-timing Selena.
"Are you sure they weren't talking about Corinne?" Selena asked. Demi shook her head.
"No one knows about her. Not even her father. I wasn't even prepared for my parents to know let alone the world." Demi said. Kalani had managed to sneak down the stairs and was now listening.
"Wait you didn't tell Cody about his daughter?" Selena freaked. Demi shook her head, and leaned back in the chair.
"You have another kid?" Kalani asked, peering around the wall fully. Demi froze, and Selena hung up giving them some alone time.
"Kalani, I," Demi was cut off before she could speak.
"Just save it. Why did you want me in the first place? To replace Corinne?" Kalani shouted. She angrily, stormed up the stairs. Demi was going to stop her, but decided not to. Instead, she started to cry. That's all she could do. Just...cry.
