Author's note: This is my first story on so please review. This is a story about what is happening in Pleasantview (Original right?). I'm starting with the Broke family. Each story is starting at where it is besides the Dreamer family because I'm pro Cassandra-Darren. Once each family has a story I'll just mix all of them together. There is brief language in this chapter.

Chapter.1 The Broke Family

Brandi had a rough day. She had caught her son sneaking back into the house the night before and, like the past 2 weeks, was up half the night with a queasy feeling. She had hoped she wasn't sick, or worse, pregnant. It's not that she wouldn't love the child but she couldn't take care of a rebellious teen, a dependent toddler, and a newborn baby.

"Suck it up Brandi, You can do it." Nina Caliente said. Brandi didn't have any friends except the Caliente sisters. I mean, being a single mom who is poor as dirt doesn't exactly put you in the popular crowd

"We brought the tests and you're debating on not taking them?" Dina questioned.

"Fine!" Brandi said, finally giving in "Just give me some privacy, I don't need an audience."

-O-O-O-O-O-Five minutes later-O-O-O-O-O-O-

"NO!" Brandi yelled, tears streaming down her face. "This can't be happening, not now!"

The little stick lay on the floor next to Brandi. It read the result. She was pregnant.

"Mama?" said Beau, standing in the doorway. "Why you sad?" he asked innocently

"Let's go play, Mommy needs some alone time" Dina said, taking Beau's hand in her own.

"Otay."He said

Nina rushed into the bathroom "Brandi calm down!" she yelled. She looked out the window "Oh no…"

"What?" she sniffed turning towards the window. Dustin was home. "How am I going to explain this to him?" she asked Nina.

"Tell him when the time is right."

"Which is now." Brandi said, standing up. Brandi walked into the living room. Dustin was sitting on the couch watching TV. "Dustin I have to tell you something"

"Yeah mom?"

"I'm pregnant." She blurted out

"Ok."

"And you need to get another job."

"What?" Dustin exclaimed

"No arguing, just get another job, or promotion."

Brandi walked outside to tend to her rose bushes and she could hear a distinct "Fuck!" from the living room.

"Say that again and I'll shove soap in your mouth!"
