Iris' POV: We don't have school today and my Mom decided to take the day off. I'm glad she's home because I really need to talk to her, but for now we're just enjoying each other's company.
Iris: Mom take a selfie with me.
Cecile: Come on.
OMG! We took the cutest Mother daughter selfie ever.

Cecile: Are you okay sweetie? You seem a bit anxious.
I'm really nervous about talking to my Mom, but I know I have to. Before I could say anything to her Wally and my Dad joins us in the family room.
Joe: How are my girls?
Cecile: Great.
Wally: What's for dinner?
Iris: Dude you just finished eating and you're already worried about dinner.
Wally: Can't a guy plan ahead?
*Knock on door*
Cecile: I got it.
My Mom leaves to get the door. When she opens it she's not to pleased with whom she sees. That's evident by the tone of her voice.
Cecile: (angry) YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Dad Wally and I rush to the door to see what's going on. When we get to the door my Dad looks just as angry as my Mom. There's a woman there that neither Wally or myself recognize, but my parents cleary do.

Vanessa A. Williams as: Francine.
Joe: (angry) WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
Iris: (confused) Mom, Dad who is this?
Francine: (annoyed) Mom? They call you Mom?
Cecile: (angry) YES BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT CHILDREN CALL THEIR MOM'S!
The lady looks at Wally and I with a huge smile on her face.
Francine: Hi I'm Francine. I'm your real Mother.
When she says the latter half of that statement she looks over at my Mom (Cecile) with a devilish look in her eyes. My Dad invites her in and we all gather in the family room.
Wally: (annoyed) Who are you?
Francine: I'm your Mother Wallace.
Joe: (annoyed) Why are you here Francine?
Francine: To see my children.
Cecile: (loud) THEY'RE MY CHILDREN!
Francine: (sarcastic) Really? Because I remember giving birth to them.
Iris: (attitude) Lady you may have given birth to us, but you are NOT our Mother!
Wally: (attitude) Yea Cecile's our Mother.
She reaches for my hand and I yank it away from her.
Iris: (angry) DON'T TOUCH ME!
Joe: (yelling) FRANCINE YOU'VE BEEN OUT OF THEIR LIVES FOR ALMOST SIXTEEN YEARS. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD JUST WALK IN HERE AND PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF?!
Francine: I'm not trying to pick up where I left off. I'm trying to start brand new. They're getting older and they need their Mother.
Cecile: (angry) THEY HAVE THEIR MOTHER!
Francine: (angry) YOU'RE NOT THEIR MOTHER CECILE!
Iris: (yells) NO YOU'RE NOT OUR MOTHER FRANCINE!
Wally: Why don't you just leave us alone?
Francine: Because I want to be apart of your lives.
Iris: (yells) WELL YOU SHOULD'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT SIXTEEN YEARS AGO WHEN YOU WALKED OUT OF OUR LIVES!
I get up grab my phone, purse, and keys and storm out the house. I get in my car and drive over to Barry's house.
