My name is Cherish; I just turned nineteen; I live in a huge house with my family. It's been nine months since my sister Natalie and her husband River took my sister Charity and me in.

River decided he could no longer keep his dad's last name. They decided to change their last name to Baler. River's Mom's maiden name.

River: "Natalie and I want more but not right now. Adley has to grow up a little more."

Charity: "Devon and I haven't talked about it, really. I just know that I don't want any right now either. Mike and Ike are enough."
