Tara's POV
Daddy's been with Ashlee. She doesn't like me very much. I can tell, but she doesn't need to worry, she has a baby in her stomach that will make Daddy happy. He hasn't talked much. He hasn't noticed I cry every night. One night I asked him to stay with me, he went back to Ashlee. I don't matter anymore. I think. He asks me about school, first grade no biggy. I guess he hasn't treated me the same since I asked him last month if he still thought about suicide. I found out years ago what it meant, in some magazine in the mall. But when I asked him he looked scared, started to cry and ran off. Ashlee got really mad at me and started screaming. I don't like it.
"Hey Big bird." Daddy said scooping me up out of nowhere.
"DADDY!" I squealed as he tickled me. Ashlee walked in behind him, she had sunglasses that looked like bug eyes. Daddy threw me up in the air and caught me.
"AGAIN! AGAIN!" I laughed.
"Pete..." Ashlee said in a tone giving us a look. they faught a lot.
"She likes it." He said.
"I'm going to take a nap." She said. I wondered why she sounded mad.
"Daddy are you mad at me? Or is Ashlee?" I asked.
"Mommy isn't mad, the baby makes her a little tired sometimes." He said.
"Well Mommy should try to be happy." I pouted.
"Come one give her a chance." Pete said. I huffed. He smiled.
"Well what's this? A mermaid out of water?" He said picking me up and carrying me outside. He walked into the pool and I started screaming and laughing. He splashed me. I splashed back. It became a full on water fight. We laughed and played. It was fun. Later that night I woke up to a scream...

Okay, Ashlee is in labour. Shit this is real. I help her down the stairs bag and all. Tara comes running down dressed and everything. She puts Ashlee's bags in while I help her into the car.

We pull up and they rush Ash is, but Tara stays outside, Patrick is coming, he's gonna watch her. I turn back to Ashlee. But now it's Erica, again. I see the pain, her cries. Then black.

Tara's POV
Patrick sits with me in the waiting room. He asleep. I look around the waiting room. I see a skinny girl, she looks very beautiful. She has a Fall Out Boy shirt on, I deicde to go talk to her. I see her wrist is bleeding and has red and white lines on it.
"You're very pretty. Is your arm okay?" I asked. She looked and smiled.
"Thank you, I'm fine." She said.
"My Daddy is in that band." I pointed to the shirt.
"Really? What's his name?" She asked.
"Pete." I smiled. Her eyes widened. At that moment I nurse appeared and took her away.
"Bye feel better!" I called. She smiled back. Daddy came out hours later.
"Let's meet your brother, Bronx." He smiled, I saw him, his eyes were like Daddy's, he looked so small and funny. I giggled.
"He's perfect!" I declared. Ashlee smiled.
