Chapter One

Tears filled Cheyannes eyes as she watched Vann board the private jet along with a bunch of other guys that played on his team. He looked back sad to see her crying, and then continued to climb the steps. Cheyanne stood there a moment longer wautin for the door to shut, when Her mom, Reba, put Cheyannes hand into her own and pulled her away. Cheyanne was six months pregnant with a baby girl, but only she knew what it was. Her husband of five months was headed to Washington to play for the redskins. He was Eighteen, and she was seventeen; They lived with her mom Reba Hart. Cheyannes parents were divorced when she was fifteen, and now her dad lived Two houses down the street from Them wit his new wife, Barbra Jean. The ride home was quiet for the most part, until Reba tried to get her daughters mind off of Vann," So when are you gonna tell me if I'm havin' a grandaughter or a grandson"
"Mom I told you that I'm not going to tell you what it is"
"Well do you have any names picked out yet"
" For a boy I like Tanner and Vann likes Blane, and if it's a girl, I like Calli, and Vann likes Bethany, But I think we have both agreed on Elizabeth for a girl," Cheyanne answered placing her slim hand on her baby bump.
Reba pulled into her driveway, and helped Cheyanne out of the car. They walked into the house, to find Jake, Cheyannes nine year old brother in the living room watching cops, and her thirteen year old sister, Kyra, on the phone talking to someone. " Aren't yall supposed to be with yor dd at the bowling Alley?" Reba asked.
"Kyra said that you were supposed to be home," Jake said keeping his eyes on the TV.
"Kyra Eleaor Hart! You know I wasn't supposed to be home until ten, you weren't supposed to be home until eleven"
"Mom I'm on the phone," Kyra said rolling her eyes and pointing at the phone pressed against her ear.
Reba walked over to the phone and pulled the plug out of the wall, " Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize"
"Huhh!! Momm!!" Kyra gasped.
" Kyra, please just go to your room!"Reba yelled as Kyra stormed up the stairs. " Jake, can you please go take a shower, and get in bed," Reba said putting hr hand on her forehead as if she had a head ache," And don't forget to brush your teeth"
"Mom I think I'm oing to go to bed, I'm really tired," Cheyanne said kissing her moms cheek and then walking up the stairs to the bedroom she shared with Vann. he laid awake for hours not being able to sleep because Vann wasn't by her side. Then at about one o'clock she felt her way down the stairs and into the dark kitchn were the only light came through the window from the streetlight outside. She tiptoed towards the refrigerator and opened it pulling out the pickles. She was pouring a glass of apple juice when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see Kyra standing on the other side of the Kitchen.
" Oh did I wake you up"
"No I just wanted a glass of milk," Kyra answered.
"Oh," Cheyanne said sitting at the table with her juice and pickles.
Kyra poured a glass of milk and sat at the table in a chair across from her older sister. "Cheyanne can I ask you something"
"Sure"
" My friend is going out with this guy that is two years older than her, and he wants to do it with her, but she doesn't really want to because shes not ready, but if she doesn't do it with him, hes going to find someone else to do it with," Kyra said nervously.
There was a long moment of silence as Cheyanne thought about the question," Kyra, who is this boy"
"Caleb Stevens," Kyra said fidelling with her fingers nervously.
" Kyra There are plenty of guys out there that are way better than him, boys your age, and I'm not trying to sound like mom,but fifteen is way too old for you. Do really want to end up like me," she said pointing to her stomach.
"Cheyanne, maybe being you isn't all that bad, I mean sure being pregnant at seventeen must really suck, but you have Vann, he really loves you. And thats hard to find"
" But I still worry, I mean I thought that dad really loved mom, and look were we are now"
" Don't you dare say that!! How could you even compare Vann to dad! He has done nothing to make you think that," Kyra screamed standing up so fast she knocked her chair over causing it topple to the floor making a big boom.
Cheyannes jaw dropped as she stared at her little sister in shock. Then Kyra rushed up and wrapped Cheyannes arms." I'm Sorry,"Kyra began sobbing.
" Kyra whats wrong"
"Cheyanne I'm pregnant."
