STARTING EPISODE:

"Good morning, Evie! Let Momma get you dressed for today!" 17, almost 18, year old Mitchie Torres said to her 6 month old daughter, Everleigh Brooklyn Torres, as she lifted her out of her crib. Everleigh smiled brightly at Mitchie when she picked her up. Everleigh had Mitchie's rich, brown hair(well, now Mitchie hair is dyed black, but the brown is her natural hair color) and bright smile, and she had her dad's chocolate brown eyes. Overall, she was absolutely adorable. Mitchie set Everleigh down on the changing table, then picked up the outfit she laid out the night before. She began undressing the giggling little girl. Mitchie smiled at her daughter, her pride and joy.

"What are you giggling at, little cutie?" Mitchie asked Everleigh as she tickled her feet. Everleigh giggled even more. Mitchie smiled and finished getting Everleigh dressed. Then, she picked her up and shifted her to her hip.

"Alright, Miss. Adorable, how do you feel about going to the diner for breakfast?" Mitchie asked Everleigh as she began to pack a diaper bag. Everleigh squealed, making Mitchie giggle.

"I'll take that as a yes. Let's go tell Grandma and Grandpa, then we'll head out." Mitchie told the little girl as she finished packing her diaper bag. She put it on her shoulder, then walked into the kitchen. Mrs. Torres was making coffee, and Mr. Torres was sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

"Morning, Mom! Morning, Dad!" Mitchie said happily to them. They smiled at her. See, when Mitchie found out she was pregnant with Everleigh, her dad got a new job at the same time, and they were going to move. So she's living with them and just started back going to school. She's a senior at Parkerview High School. She doesn't have any friends because everyone found out about Everleigh, and they think Mitchie is a slut. No one's ever talked to her enough to find out that Everleigh was produced after her FIRST time. And, she really thought she loved Everleigh's dad, Shane. He left her when she told him she was pregnant. The memories of him still brought tears to Mitchie's eyes, and she spent many nights crying herself to sleep, thinking about the memories. He really hurt her, and Mitchie had a hard time trusting other guys because of what he did to her.

"Morning, sweetie. You're up early." Mrs. Torres said to her. Mitchie smiled and grabbed her purse and car keys off the kitchen table.

"Well, I was going to take Evie to the diner for breakfast before school. Is that okay?" Mitchie asked them. They smiled at her.

"Of course, honey. She's your child. Just make sure and have enough time to bring her back here before school. You don't need anymore tardies." Mrs. Torres replied. Mitchie smiled as she walked towards the door.

"I will, don't worry. We love yall!" Mitchie told them as she opened the door.

"We love you two, too. Be careful!" Mr. Torres called back. Mitchie smiled as she walked out the door and towards her car. She strapped Everleigh in the car-seat in the back, then got in herself. She began driving toward the diner.

With Alex...

"Why can't I just stay and take care of Taylor? I can make it okay without high school." 17 year old, Alex, asked her mom for the hundredth time that morning as she hugged Taylor close. Her parents were making her start school again. They wanted her to be able to graduate and get a good job to support Taylor. Taylor James Russo is legally Alex's 6 month old son. Her best friends, Gabriella and Scott are his biological parents. Alex was baby-sitting for them one night while they went out to eat. On their way home, they had a car crash. Both of them died. On their will, Alex was left as Taylor's guardian. She immediately accepted being Taylor's guardian. Now, she loves Taylor like he's her own.

"Honey, we've explained this to you a hundred times. We want you to graduate high school and get a diploma so you can get a good job and support Taylor. So, if you won't do this for us, do it for Taylor." Mrs. Russo replied. Alex sighed and looked into her son's eyes. Then, sighed again when she realized her parents were right. She really did want the best for Taylor, and if it meant going to school for 7 stupid hours a day, then she'd do it. She looked back at her parents.

"Fine, I'll do it. Just swear you'll follow the schedule and notes I wrote for yall about Taylor. Remember, his favorite blanket is the yellow one with the teddy bears. And, he likes a snack after he watches Sesame Street at 9. Just give him some dry cereal or something." Alex replied. Mr. and Mrs. Russo smiled at Alex. Besides Alex, they had 2 more kids. Justin, who's 21 years old, is in another state going to college. Max, who's 12 years old, is in his room asleep. He goes to the junior high right next to the high school Alex is about to start. He's in 7th grade, and Alex is a senior. They just moved here 2 months ago when Mr. Russo got a new job down here.

"We remember, honey. And if we forgot, you probably have it written down somewhere on those 5 pages of notes." Mr. Russo replied. Alex sighed.

"Well, school doesn't start for another 2 hours. What do you want to do until then?" Mrs. Russo asked her. Alex smiled and looked down at Taylor as she thought of an idea.

"I think I'll take Taylor down to that diner that we saw yesterday when we driving around for breakfast. Work for you?" Alex asked her parents as she grabbed Taylor's diaper bag and her purse off the couch.

"That sounds good. You two have fun, just be back here in time for us to enroll you into your new school." Mrs. Russo replied. Alex smiled and grabbed her car keys and phone off the table.

"Don't worry. I will. Love you!" Alex said, then left their house. She walked out to her car and strapped Taylor into his car-seat. Then, she got in herself and started driving toward the diner.

With Mitchie and Everleigh at the diner...

Mitchie just finished cutting up a pancake into small pieces. She drizzled some syrup on it, then got a piece and fed it to Everleigh. She smiled when Everleigh took it.

"Is that good, Evie? You've never had pancake before, have you?" Mitchie asked her daughter with a smile, then took a bite of the pancake herself. Once Everleigh finished eating that bite, she reached her arm out and whined. Mitchie giggled and gave Everleigh another bite. Everleigh started eating the second bite and got syrup all over her face.

"You're so cute, Evie." Mitchie told her daughter with a smile as she took a napkin and wiped the syrup off Everleigh's mouth. Everliegh giggled, making Mitchie smile.

"You know, Evie, your smile makes my day. It's the one thing I look forward to everyday." Mitchie told Everleigh, who only smiled again. Mitchie giggled and took a sip of her coffee. She was looking around the room, when her eyes landed on the door. A girl around her age that she'd never seen before walked in carrying an adorable baby boy. Mitchie looked at her curiously, wondering who she was or if the baby was hers. The girl took a seat at the table next to them and strapped the baby boy in a high chair. The girl smiled at the baby boy, then picked up the menu and began reading it.

Mitchie was so busy trying to figure out who that girl was that she didn't see that Everleigh had dragged a cup of water over to the edge of the table. It wasn't until Everleigh knocked it off, soaking herself. Mitchie snapped out of it quickly and stood up. She sighed and picked up a few napkins and began trying to dry her off.

"Oh, Evie. Why did you have to do that?" Mitchie asked the baby frustratedly. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around. It was that girl with the baby. She smiled at Mitchie and handed her some napkins.

"Here. I thought you could use these. Taylor does that all the time." the girl told Mitchie. Mitchie smiled and took the napkins. She picked Everleigh up out of the high chair.

"Thanks. Everleigh does that all the time too, but it's just frustrating." Mitchie told her. She picked up Everleigh's diaper bag.

"My name's Alex. Alex Russo. Is Everleigh your daughter? She looks a lot like you." Alex asked Mitchie, who blushed a little.

"Yeah, she's mine. My name's Mitchie Torres. Is that baby boy yours?" Mitchie asked her, glancing at the baby boy. Alex looked over at him and smiled, then looked back at Mitchie.

"Legally, he is. He was my best friends' son, but they died in a car crash when he was a month old. I was left on the will to take care of him, so I did. And, he's my everything now." Alex replied, finishing with a smile. Mitchie smiled back.

"He's really adorable." Mitchie told Alex, who smiled again.

"Yeah, but he's also a handful." Alex replied, making Mitchie giggle.

"Yeah, Everleigh is too." Mitchie replied. Alex giggled.

"Well, it was nice meeting you. I'd love to stay and talk, but it looks like Everleigh needs a new outfit." Alex told Mitchie, who nodded.

"It was nice meeting you too. Maybe I'll see you around." Mitchie said. Alex smiled and walked back over to her table. Mitchie glanced down at the wet baby in her arms.

"You know, sometimes I think you're more trouble than you're worth, Evie." Mitchie told Everleigh as she grabbed her purse and started walking to the ladies room. Everleigh giggled, making Mitchie smile.

"Well, maybe you are worth it." Mitchie told Everleigh with a smile.

Later on at school...

Mitchie just arrived after dropping Everleigh off at her house. She parked her car, grabbed her purse and bookbag, then got out and walked into the school. She ignored all the rude comments people were making about her as she walked to her locker and opened it. She started getting her books for the day out. She hated going to school and having people be mean to her all the time, but she did it for Everleigh. She wanted to get a high school diploma and get a good job to support her daughter. She was willing to go through anything to make sure Everleigh had a good life.

"So, how is that mistake baby today, slut?" the meanest girl in school, Tess, asked Mitchie while smirking. Mitchie sighed furiously and slammed her locker. She could take being called a slut and any other name people had for her, but she wouldn't take anyone talking about her baby girl.

"Okay, look. You can call me whatever in the hell you wanna call me. Because frankly, I don't care one little bit. But the second you start insulting my daughter, it gets personal. My little girl is not a mistake. Yeah, she wasn't planned, but she's NOT a mistake. She's got more love in her little fingernail than you do in your WHOLE body. So, leave her out of this, or it will get ugly. Got that, bitch?" Mitchie told Tess furiously. Tess rolled her eyes and smirked at Mitchie.

"Whatever. I just hope she doesn't turn out a piece of trash. Just like her momma." Tess said. Mitchie felt her anger blow up inside of her, and she slapped Tess hard across the face. Then, she got right in her face.

"Leave my child out of this or you will regret it." Mitchie told her, then stormed down the hallway to her first class. She walked to her seat and sat down. She was busy doodling angrilly in her notebook when she saw Alex walk in the room and hand the teacher a note. They talked for a few minutes, then Alex saw Mitchie. Mitchie smiled at her, and Alex smiled back and came to sit down in the desk next to her.

"I didn't know you went here." Mitchie told Alex with a smile.

"Well, we just moved here about 2 months ago. I'm just starting back at school today." Alex replied with a smile.

"That's great. Let me see your schedule. I'll see if we have anymore classes together." Mitchie told Alex. Alex grabbed her schedule and passed it to Mitchie. Mitchie glanced over it and started grinning. She looked up at Alex.

"We have all of our classes together!" Mitchie told her happily. Alex smiled.

"That's great!" Alex said happily. Mitchie smiled and was about to say something else when Tess walked in. She glared at Mitchie, then smirked, as she walked up to them. She smiled and stuck her hand out to Alex.

"Hey. I don't believe we've met. I'm Tess Tyler. And you are?" Tess introduced herself. Alex smiled and shook Tess's hand.

"It's nice to meet you, Tess. I'm Alex Russo." Alex replied with a smile. Tess smirked at Mitchie then looked back at Alex.

"You know, you might not want to hang around Mitchie, here. She's a bad influence. She already has a baby." Tess told Alex. Alex just smiled.

"Oh, I know. I met her earlier. She's adorable. And, why would that matter? I have a baby too." Alex replied. Tess frowned.

"Oh, great. So we have two sluts at this school now." Tess said. Alex rolled her eyes and stood up. One thing you should know about Alex Russo is that she doesn't take crap from anybody.

"Okay, I just met you, and already I don't like you. Do you always have that effect on people? Maybe that's why no one's hanging out with you." Alex said. Tess glared at her, and Mitchie tried hard to keep from laughing. No one's has EVER talked to Tess Tyler like that before.

"You better watch your mouth, Russo. I can make your life a living hell." Tess told her. Alex laughed, and raised her eyebrows at her.

"Watch my mouth? Honey, you say that like I should be scared of you or something. In case you don't realize it, I could snap you in half with one hand without breaking a sweat or breaking a nail. I'm quite positive you should be scared of me." Alex told Tess, smirking. Mitchie had to force herself not to help. Tess rolled her eyes.

"Oh, please. I would never be scared of a no good, skanky slut like you." Tess told Alex, shaking and sweating a little. Alex smirked.

"Yeah? Then why are you shaking and sweating?" Alex asked her with a smirk. Tess looked unsure.

"Whatever. Yall are still sluts. And, I'm gonna make sure everyone else knows." Tess told Alex with a smirk. Alex returned the smirk.

"You do that. And when you do, make sure to let them know that if anyone has a problem with us or our children to let us know directly, not to be so low and immature to talk about us behind our backs. You know, immature and low people like you." Alex replied, then sat back down next to Mitchie as the bell rang. Tess did a little huff, then went to sit down in her seat. Both Alex and Mitchie burst into giggles.

"Oh my god. No one has EVER talked to Tess like that." Mitchie told Alex. Alex shrugged.

"Well, someone needed to. She's absolutely awful." Alex replied. Mitchie giggled.

"That's Tess for you. But you know, she really will tell everyone that you have a child an that you're a slut. No one will even want to talk to you." Mitchie told Alex. Alex shrugged her shoulders.

"So what? I have Taylor and my family and you. Why would I need any of those people?" Alex asked Mitchie, who smiled at her.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I've never thought about it that way before." Mitchie replied. The girls quieted down as the teacher stepped in front of the class.

"Good morning, class. Before we get started, I'd like to introduce our new student, Alex Russo. Alex, why don't you stand up and tell us a few tings about yourself." Mrs. Peters told her. Alex smiled and stood up. She threw a smirk at Tess, then began.

"Well, my name's Alex Marie Russo. Um, I have 2 brothers, one younger and one older. And, I have a 6 month old son, Taylor James Russo. He's my world and the reason for the smile on my face everyday. But before yall start calling me names, I'd like to explain it. Is that alright, Mrs. Peters?" Alex asked Mrs. Peters. She smiled at Alex.

"Of course, Alex." she replied. Alex smiled, then began.

"My best friends had Taylor when they were 16. I was baby-sitting him one night when he was a month old, and they had a car crash. They both died, and I was left on the will as Taylor's guardian. Of course I accepted to being his guardian, and I could never regret that decision. And, I honestly don't care what names yall call me because someone who is immature enough to talk about me behind my back is not worth my time." Alex told them. It got so quiet that you could hear a pen drop. Alex sat down awkwardly, and Mrs. Peters cleared her throat.

"Um, thank you Alex for that... interesting intoduction. Um, class, turn your textbooks to page 176 and read until the end of the chapter." Mrs. Peters said. Alex opened her textbook and began reading. She stopped when a piece of paper covered the page she was reading. She read it..

'Are you okay? I'm sure that was really hard to say in front of the whole class.

-Mitchie'

Alex sighed and wrote down a reply..

'Yeah. I mean, it was hard. But, I'd rather everyone get the truth from me than lies from Tess.'

Alex began reading again, but stopped when the piece of paper covered the page again..

'True. Hey, do you want to come over after school today? I'm sure my parents would love to meet you.'

'Sounds great! I'll have to go pick Taylor up first, though. I miss him like crazy.'

'Works for me. After class I'll give you directions to my house.'

Alex looked over at Mitchie and nodded. Then, she slipped the piece of paper into her bookbag. She started reading again.

Later...

School went by faster than the girls thought, and when the bell rang, they were anxious to get home to their babies. Mitchie was now waiting at the front doors for Alex, when some random guy came up to her. She didn't know him very well, but she thought his name was Justin. He smiled at her.

"Hey, babe. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever want to sleep with another guy, I'm always here for you." he told her with a wink. Mitchie pushed him away and looked at him disgustedly.

"First off, EWW! Second off, I don't sleep around with guys. A mother should be more responsible than that, not to mention, it's gross. And third off, how desperate are you to ask some girl that you don't even know to sleep with you?" Mitchie demanded. The guy just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Guys had done that to her ever since everyone found out she had a daughter. They all tought she was a slut and she was easy. The truth was, she was FAR from either of those things. Just then, Alex walked up to Mitchie. She looked at her wierdly.

"Why do you look so disgusted?" Alex asked her. Mitchie sighed.

"Just gross guys, that's all. Ready to go?" Mitchie asked her. Alex shrugged and smiled. The girls planned for Mitchie to drive them to Alex's house so she could get Taylor and so Mitchie could meet her parents. Then, they were going to go to Mitchie's house and hang out there.

"Yep! Thanks for driving me to my house, Mitchie. I would drive myself, but I rode with my parents this morning, so my car's not here." Alex told Mitchie as they began walking to her car. Mitchie smiled.

"No problem." Mitchie replied as they reached her car. They both got in, and Mitchie started driving towards Alex's house. As she was driving, Mitchie reached over to the car CD player and pressed play. 'Since U Been Gone' by Kelly Clarkson started playing, and Alex grinned.

"Oh my gosh, this is my favorite song ever!" she said happily. Mitchie glanced at her and smiled.

"Mine too!" Mitchie said, then started singing. Alex giggled and joined in. She missed being able to do this in the car with her friends. Of course, those "friends" all bailed out on Alex after she took responsibility. That's when Alex realized that they weren't true friends, and knew that they weren't worth her time.

A few minutes later, after the girls sang loudly to a few more songs, they arrived at Alex's house. Mitchie parked in te driveway, and the girls got out. Mitchie followed Alex inside. Alex set her bookbag down by the door, then walked farther into the kitchen.

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Alex yelled. A few seconds later, Mrs. Russo walked in the room carrying Taylor. Alex automatically smiled and took Taylor from her mom's arms. She hugged him close and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey, baby boy! Momma missed you so much!" Alex said cheerfully to him. Mitchie and Mrs. Russo grinned at the sight. Taylor made a gurgling sound, and Alex giggled. That's when Mrs. Russo noticed Mitchie standing there.

"Alex, honey, who's your friend?" Mrs. Russo asked her. Alex looked up and smiled at her mom.

"Mitchie, this is my mom. Mom, this is Mitchie. I met her and her daughter this morning at the diner, and then again at school. We have all classes together." Alex replied. Mrs. Russo smiled, but looked shocked when Alex said that Mitchie had a daughter.

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Russo." Mitchie told Mrs. Russo with a smile and held out her hand. Mrs. Russo smiled and shook Mitchie's hand.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mitchie. You have a daughter?" Mrs. Russo asked her. Mitchie blushed a little and looked down. Alex would've tried to make her feel better, but she was too busy tickling Taylor and smiling when he giggled.

"Um, yeah. Her name's Everleigh Brooklyn Torres. She's 6 months old." Mitchie replied. Mrs. Russo smiled.

"Well, I would love to meet her. You'll have to bring her by one day." Mrs. Russo replied, making Mitchie grin. She was so happy that Mrs. Russo liked her even though she had a daughter so young. Mitchie smiled and turned to Alex and Taylor.

"You ready to go?" Mitchie asked Alex, who nodded.

"Yep. I just need to run and get Taylor's diaper bag. Will you hold him while I go get it?" Alex asked Mitchie. Mitchie nodded, and Alex passed Taylor over to her.

"Where are you girls going?" Mrs. Russo asked them.

"We're just going to hang out at Mitchie's for a little while. Is that alright?" Alex asked her mom.

"It's fine with me. You girls have fun. I think i'm going to head to my room and watch 'Oprah'." Mrs. Russo told the girls before leaving the room and heading to her own bedroom. Alex turned to Mitchie and smiled.

"I'll be right back." Alex told her, then ran to Taylor's nursery. She grabbed his diaper bag then ran back into the kitchen with Mitchie.

"Alright, I'm ready. I think it would be best if I followed you back to your home in my car so I can drive myself home later. Work for you?" Alex asked Mitchie. Mitchie smiled.

"Works for me. Let's go." Mitchie replied. Alex smiled, took Taylor into her own arms, and headed out the door. Mitchie followed behind her. They both got into their cars, and Alex followed Mitchie back to her house.

And, that's where this episode is ending. What will happen on the next episode? Will Mitchie's parents like Alex? Find out! I hope yall enjoyed this episode, and please review! :)

Here's a look at what's to come on the next episode...

"What the hell are you doing here?"

...

"So, you're the new boy, and I'm the new girl. Maybe we could help each other out."

...

"You're falling for him, aren't you?"
