   "Lucy! You came!" I scream. Gosh, this reminds me of a couple years back when Mum missed my high school graduation ceremony. I wrap my arms around her.

  "Why wouldn't I? You have a baby now! What happened to the little 13 year old Trojan I met seven years ago?" Lucy questions.

  " Do you wanna meet Annilie Serenity O'Connor?" I ask.

   "Of course! Where is she?" Lucy's face brightens at the mention of my baby's full name.

   I walk her into Annilie's room, where Chris has just finished changing her.

   "Trojan! She's adorable!" Lucy shrieks.

  "Wanna hold her?" I ask,  picking Annilie up and giving her to Lucy.

   "Look Annilie, it's your Auntie Lucy." I coo.

  "Trojan? Can I have a drink?" Brandon asks shyly.

   "Sure bud. What do you want to drink? There's apple juice and orange juice or water." I ask my cute little brother.

   "Apple juice pwease." Brandon replies.

   We walk down to the kitchen and I pour it into his Spiderman cup.

   "There you go buddy." I say, handing him his juice.

  "Thank you sissy. Sissy? When are Mummy and Daddy coming home?" He asks me, his eyes pleading for a good answer.

   " Next week, bud. In five days." I tell him. His face falls.

   "Oh, okay." He replies.

   " Lucy, do you want to sleep in the guest room tonight?" I ask.

   "Sure, if it's not too much."

   "You're fine." I walk out and check on Brandon. My heart breaks as I see him sniffling and talking to his teddy bear.

   " Why don't Mummy and Daddy ever come home? Why don't they love me? Did I do something wrong, Pooh?" Brandon wipes his eyes.

  "Brandon, you didn't do anything wrong. Mummy and Daddy are just busy." I interrupt.

   "But they never here. Not even when Annilie came."

   "I know, buddy, I know." I say." Go to sleep, okay?"

   I walk out. I grab my phone furiously. After connecting with Mum, I begin shouting into the phone."Mum! Do you not realize that you missed my graduation, my engagement party, the birth of my child? Now Brandon is in tears because he thinks you don't love him! If you don't step it up, I'm gonna just pack up and leave. With Brandon. Because at least I live him. In fact, I'm more of a mother to him then you have ever been!"

  With that I hang up and sink down against the wall, weak with tears.
