Please Don't Take Them

You Have To Help Me!

"Wait! You're a mom!" Jenny screamed out in shock making Lola groan as she quickly covered Jenny's mouth. "Be quiet! No one else knows! And I can't talk about it here, but if you're willing to come back to my house we can talk there," Lola quickly told her friend who just continued to look at her in shock as she had no clue how to react.

       "Okay fine because I have so so so many questions right now!" Jenny practically screamed out making Lola laugh as she looked at the four year old who was struggling to push the baby in the baby swing.

        "Hey Carlos! Jenny and I are leaving now! I'll see you later!" Lola screamed out to the four year old making Jenny look at her like she was insane. "Are you crazy!" Jenny screamed out making Lola groan.

       "Alright fine have it your way. Carlos come on get your sister! Jenny says you can't stay here by yourself!" Lola screamed out making the four year old sigh as he helped his sister out of the baby swing and followed after Lola and Jenny.

          When they got back to Lola's house Jenny looked around in complete shock at how messy and unorganized everything was. Even the baby stuff and all the toys were just thrown everywhere and completely covered in paint splatters.

       "Okay! This is insane! How do you live like this! And why are all of the baby stuff covered in what even is that!" Jenny screamed out making Lola laugh as she looked at Carlos. "Carlos will you tell Jenny what all those colorful splatters are on Mal's stuff," Lola told the small boy who laughed as he looked at Jenny.

        "Yeah! That's paint! It was so much fun! Lola just gave me and Mal some paint and let us paint whatever we wanted!" The small boy screamed out excitedly as he ran to his room and Lola placed the baby in her bouncer. "So now that we are away from all of those nosy people go ahead and lay those questions on me!" Lola told Jenny jokingly as she threw herself down on the couch.

      "How did that even happen!" Jenny screamed out making Lola smirk as she looked at the younger girl. "Well you see Jenny when a girl and a boy like each other very much..." Lola began, but Jenny immediately stopped her not wanting Lola to go into details about something she already learned in health class.

        "Ew! Stop! I don't need a health lesson!" Jenny screamed out making Lola laugh as she found it hilarious how freaked out Jenny got over what they were talking about. "Well you asked," Lola told Jenny, making Jenny groan.

          "I just meant how do you have two kids and nobody even knows! Do they even have the same dad! And do they even know!" Jenny rambled out making Lola sigh as she hated explaining everything because it made her more upset about her situation.

          "No one knows because my parents are raising them and they tell everyone that they are their kids and my little sister and brother. And no Jenny they don't know. I'm not allowed to tell them. And yes they have the same dad and their dad is a total jerk and doesn't even know. I don't want him to ever know," Lola told Jenny who just looked at her as she had no clue how to react to this news.

          Her new best friend that honestly wasn't a responsible person and managed to lose a kid while babysitting was apparently also a mom. "What do you mean by that," Jenny asked Lola who sighed.

        "Jen, my parents have full custody and I'm not allowed to have it. They claimed I wasn't an adult when I had Carlos and Mal which I wasn't, and the court decided that with my school record, my parking tickets, and my financial situation I wasn't fit to raise my kids and my parents were granted custody," Lola told Jenny who just looked at her in even more shock.

         "Wait! You wanted custody?" Jenny asked Lola in shock as she knew Lola didn't like responsibility and she thought babysitting was boring when she first mentioned it to her.

         "Yeah Jenny and I still do.The're my kids. I want my own kids. You know to be honest that was part of the real reason I wanted that photography internship so bad. I knew that if I could get that internship it would help me start my career and hopefully prove that I could be financially stable and prove that I could handle having my own kids!" Lola told Jenny who nodded.

          "Why didn't you just tell me that was the reason. I probably would have backed out right away if I knew that," Jenny told Lola making her laugh. "Yeah because I'm going to tell a stranger that I as a barely 19 year old needed to get that internship, so I could get custody of my two kids! Yeah that would have gone over so well," Lola sarcastically told Jenny.

         "I guess you're right I probably would have freaked out. Also I'm confused though because you were in my geometry class when you were a senior!" Jenny screamed out as she did the math and Lola would have been pregnant with her youngest during senior year. Lola just laughed as she looked at Jenny.

       "Oh you innocent child! I was pregnant, but I hid it well and Mal was a very small baby, so I had a small bump and didn't start showing until pretty late. The doctor said it was probably due to my younger age. Carlos was the same way. Now are we done talking about this because I was planning on getting some cute pictures of Carlos and Mal for my art school project," Lola told Jenny who nodded.

          "Yeah I guess. I still can't believe that you of all people are a mom!" Jenny screamed out making Lola laugh again. "Well Jen high school was a crazy time and besides life is about experiences! And technically I'm not raising them. They don't even know, so I'm technically not a parent. I'm just a creator of life literally!" Lola told Jenny, making Jenny laugh a little.

           Before Jenny could respond Lola's mom came into the room with an angry look as she held up another one of Lola's parking tickets. "Okay seriously! You got another parking ticket! How do you expect us to ever let you take care of Mal and Carlos if you can't even handle driving a car!" Lola's mom screamed out causing Lola to roll her eyes.

          "Dude chill! You always do this! I'm 19 and I'm an adult! You can't treat me like a child! And I told you already that I'm paying for those tickets, so chill out!" Lola screamed back with an attitude causing Jenny to just watch in shock at how Lola was talking to her own mom.

         "You know what I'm done with this! I didn't want to do this because I didn't want to separate you from them, but I don't care anymore. You're right you are not a child anymore. You don't need your parents anymore. Your dad and I are moving and we're taking Carlos and Mal with us," Lola's mom told her, making Lola look at her mom in shock. "What! Dude you can't do that! You can't just leave with them!" Lola screamed out and her mom just rolled her eyes.

          "I'm sorry, but you left us no choice. We're leaving in less than a month and we have custody and you don't. We are allowed to leave with them," Lola's mom told her as she picked up the baby in the bouncer and walked with her to her room. "I can't believe they're doing this to me! I can't just never see my own kids! Jenny, you're smart, you have to help me!" Lola screamed out as she looked at her friend with a desperate look making Jenny feel uncomfortable as she wasn't used to this kind of situation and didn't know how to deal with it.

     "Lola I don't know how to do that! I've never been in a situation like this before," Jenny told her friend who just started crying a little as she looked at her.

      "Please Jenny! I can't lose them! And I can't afford to move! Jenny please! Please help me get my kids back! You have to make me more like you! You know all boring and responsible and stuff!" Lola begged out to her younger friend who just looked at her in shock and offence.

        "Okay first of all I am not boring! And second of all fine I'll help you!" Jenny told Lola who smiled as she hugged Jenny tightly.

        "Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Jenny! You're the best! Come on we gotta get to work like now! I have a month to prove I can handle raising my kids, so my parents don't take them forever," Lola screamed, making Jenny sigh as she just knew this was going to be a long and difficult process.
