Ryan talking.
I'm laying in bed asleep when I have a dream about Autumn. In my dream Autumn is about 18 or maybe even 19 and she's with a boy. Autumn is introducing me to him. His name is Adrian he's 19 years old and he works as a mechanic. He also has a 1967 Harley. He wants to take Autumn out on a date. He had asked me a few weeks ago if he could ask her to marry him assuring me that he will take good care of my little girl. I gave him permission. Tonight he's going to ask her to marry him. He and I are sitting in the sitting room that is at the bottom of the stairs. When Autumn comes down the stairs in the silver dress that her mom bought her.

Her boyfriend Adrian was dressed up really fancy as well.

He gave Autumn a rose. Then they left. I watch them as they get on the bike and drive away. As I'm watching them drive away I realize that I just let my little girl go. I start to run after them calling out Autumns name begging her not to go. Then I hear Abby calling my name over and over again until I finally wake up. Abby asks me if I'm ok. I reply yeah then I tell her about my dream.

It's Wednesday afternoon I'm not at work because it's my day off the kids are at school and Ryan is at work. I'm taking a break from cleaning up the house when I get a call from the church saying that someone was there to talk to me I asked who it was but she couldn't tell me so I go to the church and to my office and to my surprise I see Tatum walk in she looks different. She comes in and I ask her what can i do for her. That's when things get serious.

She tells me that her and Lucas hooked up and that now she's pregnant. She also tells me how sorry she is for hurting me and keirston the way she did. She tells me that her parents kicked her out. Luckily for her Ryan and I just finished making the back shed in to a place for mom to stay when ever she comes to visit. I tell her she can stay there until either the baby is born or her and Lucas get a place together.

She thanks me and gives me a hug. I tell her that she can come to the house tomorrow evening after church that way I can talk with Ryan and keirston about it. Hopefully they will see that she's different now and in a pretty rough situation right now.

Keirston talking
After church me and abby go to spotties cafe for coffee like we always do on Wednesday nights. The guys take the kids so we dont have to worry about them. Spot usually closes before service ends but because we are his favorite customers he let's us in anyways.

Abby seems a little off tonight I ask her what's wrong and that's when she tells me that Tatum got kicked out of her parents house because her and Lucas hooked up and she's pregnant. I shocking as the should be to me I wasn't really surprised I knew it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. Abby also said that she's gonna let Tatum stay in the what we call the in law house until either the baby is born or her and Lucas get a place together.

I have a doctor's appointment in the morning to see how this baby is doing we won't find out if it's a girl or boy for another week or so but as long as he/she is. We cant wait to find out. Zach want a boy and to be totally honest with you I do too. I mean don't get me wrong I love Tanner but boys are so much easier to shop for then girls.

Next Tuesday is Tanners birthday so my parents are coming to visit for the whole week. They bought Tanner a doll house since she seems to be really into barbie. Me and zach are buying her new dolls and a Ken doll.
