Melissa scraped the finishings of the egg left in the skillet to hereldest daughter, Sammie. She was determined to make sure that they finished eating so that she could be on time for her doctor's appointment.Dakota and Mickie were busy throwing food at each other then actually eating it and Melissa almost forgot why she put up with them, almost but didn't. She loved her children more than life and nothing would ever change that. She could remember when each of her daughters were born and those very moments when she felt pride and joy. The last one was said to be a boy and that alone made her laugh at the thought. The doctors had said that every single time she had ever gotten pregnant and they all turned out the opposite, so she just assumed that it would be a girl as well.

"Mommmmieeeeee,Dakota hit me," Mickie wailed.

"Dakota no throwing food at your sister," Melissa scoulded.

Dakota pouted and crossed her arms, but Melissa ignored it because it was another phase of the terrible two's. She was so glad when the other two grew out of it, but she wasn't so sure about Dakota. Their father had said that it will take a large lesson before she wisened up, she didn't know. But then again their father was in work and she was going to be late for her doctor's appointment.

She suddenly felt huge pressure on her abdomen, but after a couple of seconds it stopped so Melissa assumed it was nothing. She got herself a bagel and began to butter it. Sammie obediently went and put her dishes in the sink. The girl was smart for a seven year old that she had even the teacher impressed. She knew the whole alphabet before the kids in her class even knew and she could multiply up to the 4's.

Maddie Lyn. Her husband and her had had a little girl while he was in college. It was unplanned and unexpected but she was very happy. That was until Maddie was born and then she lost more than her daughter two years later.

Melissa bit into the bagel and began to choke on it. Mickie and Dakota were still busy arguing to notice that their mother was choking until Sammie screamed.

"Mommie, are you alright," She yelped.

Sammie went behind her mother and started hitting her on the back until the peice of bagel came up and Melissa took a deep breath.

"Call ...call dad...daddie," Melissa let out before she shrieked in pain.

Sammie obligued and Melissa held her abdomen hoping that it wasn't another miscarriage.
