"How did this happen?" Vanessa asked as she stared in disbelieve at the E P T test she held in her hand. The girls were all together in Catty's bathroom staring at what was in their hands. All the tests were positive. But the thing was, none of them had done it.
"This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. How am I going to explain this to my dad? Or Collin? Oh my goodness! Collin! What is he going to think?" Serena started to hyperventilate and Jimena handed her a paper bag.
"Where'd you get that?" Catty asked pointing to the bag. Jimena shrugged and said something that could have saved the girls some shock.
"Oh, I had a premonition about it a week ago. Why do you think I wasn't surprised at the results?"
"You mean you knew about this? Why didn't you tell me? I am going to kill you!" Tianna screamed as she lunged at Jimena, fists flying. Catty and Vanessa managed to stop her and Serena pulled Jimena back from her fighting stance.
"Wait! You guys, who do you think the fathers are?" Catty asked with a panicked expression playing on her face. The girls looked to Jimena who shrugged. Obviously she didn't get a premonition about that. The girls went to Catty's bedroom and sat near each other. Jimena sat on the floor near the wall, with Serena not too far away at the foot of the closet. Catty sat on her bed with Vanessa at the foot of it. Tianna was sprawled in front of the window, basking in the warm sunlight. The weather was nice and people were at the beach. Of course it was hot and you could fry an egg on the sidewalk, but people where out and about. (AN: that is exactly how it feels in Texas! Dude it's hot! I think I got heat stroke today. Ugggg.)
"Well, you know that sometimes these things are wrong. Like one in every twenty tests are wrong. So there is a chance that we're not pregnant. So maybe there is hope. Right?" Tianna said, trying to be optimistic. The girls all slowly nodded and gave weak smiles.
"Okay. No more moping around. I say we go to the beach like every other person in L.A." Serena said and got up and proceeded to pull her friends off of their butts and out the front door of Catty's house.
"This can't be right." Collin said. He was the first one to speak when the girls collected Stanton, Chris, Collin, Michael, and Derrick to tell them the news.
"That's what we said, but Maggie said that the babies are going to play a part in this whole "Destroying the Atrox" thing we have going on here. She also said that you guys were most likely the fathers. And when is Maggie ever wrong? Never." Serena said rather irritably. The hormones thing had kicked in by then because the girls had waited a couple of weeks before telling their boyfriends.
"Yeah. And like so we...can you excuse me for a second?" Vanessa said as her face began to turn green. She rushed to Serena's kitchen and almost tripped over Wally.
"Oh gross! Oh gosh!" Tianna exclaimed as she ran from the living room after hearing Vanessa puking in the kitchen.
"We should go see if their okay." Michael said nudging Derrick. He just looked up and made a disgusted face. Michael sighed and ragged Derrick to his disheveled goddess girlfriend.
"I'm hungry. Is anyone else hungry? Good lord, I could eat a cow! I'm gonna go get a snack." Catty said over enthusiastically. Her craving for weird food had taken over her life. All she did was eat, but she didn't gain a pound. Vanessa had started to joke that Catty's baby would be really fat.
"Serena, could I talk to you for a minute? In the hall?" Stanton asked. Serena followed him into the hall. Catty came back with a bowl of garlic pretzels and raspberry sherbet. (AN: This is really good. You should try it. I did it with soft pretzels and it was really good! Yummy!)
Chris looked at the bowl and scrunched his nose. She held the bowl to him and he shook his head. He looked as if he were going to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of a very hard slap to the face.
"What was that for?" Stanton screamed from the hall.
"You know what it was for you jerk! And since you don't want to stay anyways, why don't you go now? Leave you dirt bag!" Serena screamed in return. A door slammed and the sound of Serena's crying filled the house. Derrick, Tianna, Vanessa, and Michael had come into the hall to see what was wrong. Collin and Jimena were trying to get a straight answer from her, but she couldn't form whole sentences at the time.
Once everyone had calmed down they went back to the living room and Serena told them what happened. Stanton had told her he couldn't bring up a child and he was going to leave town for a while. That had not been a good time to tell her that information because she was on a wild hormonal rampage. Collin looked like he was going to kill something and the girls were all red with anger.
"Oh he is so going to get it! He is going down! What was he thinking? Is he on drugs? Oh my gosh! I knew that vato was shady. I swear he is going to die!" Jimena yelled as she got up from her crouching position in front of Serena. The other girls nodded and ran out of the front door. They never did find Stanton, but they knew he was there. A few months later the girl's stomachs started to swell and they had to leave school because of the teasing. Everyone knew who the fathers where. They guys were always around the Daughters.
By the end of the whole fiasco, all five girls came out with beautiful baby girls. Each baby was a spiting image of its mother. The girls had all taken the babies to Maggie, who was kind of like a grandmother. Their names where Amara, Esmeralda, Tetra, Moria, and Fiona, (AN: it goes lie this, Serena: Tetra, Jimena: Esmeralda, Tianna: Fiona, Vanessa: Amara, Catty: Moira.) Maggie warned the Daughters that once they made their decisions when they turned seventeen what they would have to choose in the best interests of the babies. This meant that all the girls would have to choose to forget and live on earth to bring up their children. Maggie also warned that the babies might have similar powers to their mothers and in Serena's case, the father. The girls understood and went to bring their girls up like normal teenage parents. Little did the girls know that their children would not be what they expected.
AN: ok so what do you think? Please give me tips and pointers. After a while I get writers block and I need a push.
Next for this story: the new daughters go on a quest to fins Stanton, Tetra's father. But when they find him will he be what Tetra expected or will he just be another bum like her mother says? Read up to find out!
Tetra sat across from her mother at the dinner table eating her pancakes. They had another fight that morning. It wasn't even a big one either. It had been over Tetra's choice of clothing. She wanted to wear a black tank top and basketball shorts, but of course, Serena said that was to formal for a trip to see her grandfather. They screamed over it for about fifteen minutes and Serena won. She had forced Tetra into a dress that was long and too hot for that day.
"Tetra, stop looking at me like that." Her mother said noticing her daughter staring.
"Like what? I wasn't even looking at you; I was looking out the window. Jeeze, when did you get all self centered?" Tetra liked to create friction between her and her mother. She wasn't sure why but it gave her a sense of joy to know they were fighting.
"Don't start again Tetra. If you do I swear I'll ground your butt 'till the next Ice Age."
"I have to go get ready to go see grandpa. Call me when we're going to leave." She told her mother with an icy glare. Tetra walked down the hall to her small room in the tiny apartment that she shared with her mother, or the She-Devil as Tetra liked to call her. Tetra plopped down on her desk chair that doubled as a make-up table chair. On the desk was a framed picture of her mother and the man she presumed to be her father. They looked so happy together. The man had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He was dressed in black and he had a small smirk on his face. Tetra wished she'd been older when he left. She-Devil said tat he couldn't handle the fact that he was having a daughter at such a young age. That fact made Tetra feel so much better, knowing that she was an accident. The girl was already on anti-depressants and had to live with the female version of evil, why not throw on that she was the reason her dad left.
"Tetra lets go! Hurry up!" She-Devil calls to her making her snap from her daydreams of her father. She sighed and picked up the purse that her friend Amara had sent her from the road. Amara's parents were musicians in a band. Well her mom, Vanessa, was the singer and her dad, Michael, was the guitarist. Being the nice parents that they were, they took Amara on tour with them. The purse was gold and had very Asian looking dragons and birds on it. Her other friends, Esmeralda, Fiona, and Moira, had gotten one too.
Tetra got into her mothers dork-mobile and drove toward her grandpa's house. The dork-mobile was a white van with blue flames on the sides. Even though she was only fourteen her mother left her drive, one of the few things she did let her do. Her aunt Jimena worked at the DMV and got her a real learners permit.
"Tetra stop daydreaming and watch the road." She-Devil said as Tetra's eyes, one blue and one green, started to glaze over.
"I'm fine. Stop hounding me!" She yelled.
"Stop acting like you are the queen of the world Tetra! Could you be any witchier?" She-Devil yells back.
"I don't know. Maybe I should try and take after you, maybe then I could be an even bigger witch!" The fights always lasted about ten minutes or until someone pulled them off of each other. Tetra pulled into a driveway and stopped the car, acting like she couldn't hear her mother yelling for her to come back. Tetra opened the door and a tiny child hugged her legs. The 2 year-old child was Faith or Baby as Tetra called her. (AN: I like to call people things other than their names. As if you couldn't already see that.)
"Tetra! Girl, how are you?" Jimena asked as she pried Baby off of Tetra. She shrugged and walked to the kitchen. Her grandpa was playing dominos with her uncle Collin. Esmeralda was watching and giving her father tips on where to go. Tetra stood in the doorway watching the father daughter moment with envy. Oh how she wanted just one moment like that, one moment where she could sit with her father and laugh and think for one moment she wasn't an accident. A single tear rolled down Tetra's cheek and a hand was placed on her shoulder. A shocked gasp came flying from her mouth and everyone turned to her, even Baby. Her mother was standing behind her with a tissue. Tetra accepted it and walked into the living room to sit on the couch.
"You okay chica (spelled right?)?" Esmeralda, or Ellie asked from behind the couch.
"Yeah, it's just...I wish I knew my dad. The only thing I've wanted since I was like three was to meet him. But I know I can't. He's long gone now, probably in Bermuda or some place like that." Tetra laughed at her own foolishness and went back to the kitchen with Ellie. Later on that day the girls were going to go to the beach. The girls meaning Ellie, Tetra, Moira, and Fiona, Amara was still on tour with her parents. For now the family enjoyed a nice lunch and afterwards calls were made to friends and plans were made to meet at three on the bluffs. It was around two thirty when Ellie and Tetra started walking to the beach. Tetra, like her mother, could hear and change people's thoughts. Sometimes it became too much of a frenzy for her and she pasted out. Ellie was special too. She could see things that were going to happen, but she could also freeze time. She would do it so she had time to finish her homework or to catch that last bus.
All the girls had a power that only the others in their group knew about. Moira could skip through time and space. Like time travel and a vacation all in one. Fiona could do some pretty scary stuff, (of course nothing to what her potential could be, but we'll get to that later). She could make things float and explode. She couldn't quite control it either; it happened when she got scared or angry or sometimes when she wanted it too. Amara had one of the most amazing powers, she could become invisible and she had almost mastered the art of levitating. The girls were extraordinary and were best friends. These girls never had to pretend around each other, they could be themselves.
The beach was filled with people and lifeguards, so it was hard to get on the bluff. When Ellie and Tetra got there Moira, Fiona, and surprisingly Amara were waiting for them to get there. The girls were ecstatic to see their friend, but recovered quickly as they saw a boy coming up to them, it wasn't only one boy it was five. They were all wearing swim trunks and looking at the girls coldly. The girls returned the look and rolled their eyes. The girls were wearing their surf tops and surf shorts, perfect clothing for jumping from the bluff.
"Don't you think you girls should go down to the beach? I mean this bluff can be a little scary for girls." One boy commented and all his little friends snickered. The boy was blonde with one brown eye and one the same blue as Tetra's.
"Who do you think thought of coming here to jump? Uh...lets see... o right, that was us!" Fiona said with a mocking smile.
"Whatever, could you dudes like move so we can go?" A blonde boy with black roots asked rudely. He was a little creepy with the way he was looking at the girls with interest.
"Okay look. This is how it's going to go down. We're going to jump and you guys, are going to go and die. How about that," Amara asked and as one of the boys, another blonde, was going to say something she added, "Okay well I don't care." The girls smirked and walked to the edge of the bluff. The locked hands and Tetra saw the boys edging toward them.
'Their going to push us. Lets play with their minds, when we hit the water and come back up act like your not breathing and don't move.' Tetra whispered through her friend's heads, they gave a small nod, and the boys pushed them over the edge. They went down screeching and wailing. When they hit the water and resurfaced they acted still and dead. They could hear the boys yelling from above them. Soon, the group of boys was dragging the girls to the sand. Once they were there Fiona started to giggle and that made all the girls burst into uncontrollable laughter. The boys were dumbfounded for a moment then grew red with rage.
"Whoa dudes like don't like blow a fuse, man. Peace and love! Increase the peace! Make love not war!" Fiona yelled as she held up her fingers in the peace sign and started to sing "he got the hold world in his hands" over and over again. Finally, a boy with jet-black hair tackled her to the ground and covered her mouth with his hand, which she licked.
"Ewwww! She licked me dude! Nasty man!" he yelled as he leapt off of her. She got up, brushed herself off, and spat at the boy's hair. Sticking up her nose she walked away with a smug expression on her face. The boy was so enraged that he took off after her, but his friends stopped him. Fiona kept saying, "Bring it on." And Moira told her that the dude wasn't worth a good punch anyways.
"No, seriously. Bring. It. On." Fiona spoke again. This time the boy was let go and he flew at the red-haired girl. She easily used his attack to bring him down by putting her foot in his path. The other boys decided they wanted to fight too and they lunged at the girls. The fight was bloody and there was a lot of hair pulling, on both parties. An "Ah-hem," broke the fight. Everyone looked up to see who it was and an angry Collin looked down to his daughter and niece. The girls shot up and dusted themselves off. At the same time Ellie and Tetra said, "I love you," in the sweetest voices they could render at that moment. She shook his head and told all the kids to get up and get in his van. They were going to be in so much trouble.
