Maddie POV:

I met up with my other siblings in the hallway going toward Grandmas room. Its one week from spring break, but Mom and Dad say they have big news. We, the gang/clique is all there: Abby, Michelle, Townsend, Joe, Rachel, Mathew, Bex, Grant(her husband), Macey, Preston(her husband), and single Liz, us, and I think even Dabney came.

"Sit down," Momma motions to the couch but its full so Matt and Em sit on the floor while Bell and I sit on the arms of the couch..

From the mood in the room I automatically know two things: there's tension which leads me to believe that someone has been arguing, possibly Mom and Dad. And two; from everyone's curiosity I know that Mom and Dad haven't told anyone which leads me to believe is big like scary big.

Mom sighs, "We really don't know how to say this. Zach wants me to stay and I want to go. I want Zach to stay but her says that he can't. I don't want to leave you or Zach. We've been avoiding this for years, trying to keep this family together the past two months we've been losing," Mom sighed taking Dads hand, "I still haven't decided my final decision. Yesterday we got the call that Zachs real father had died so we are going to his funeral tomorrow since none of you really knew him that well you don't have to go unless you want out of school," She said.

"I'll go," Us kids all said in unison.

"What did you mean try to keep all of us together whose doing what?" I asked my voice quivering slightly on together.

"Sweetie um I'm pregnant," She said diverting the subject.

"Great news, I'm gonna have a baby sister 16 years younger than me amazing, whatever. Now answer the question directly what do you mean keep us together?"

"Well you aren't in a good mood," Dad tried to kid around and I shot him a Morgan death glare shaking my head slightly as Mom said, "Your suppose to be helping me your not a kid."

Dad bit his lip, "I'm being called to Madagascar, their intelligence center on something called lock down. One person can go with me. I work on a mission as the leader in the headquarters so I won't be in the field. Lockdown means that neither I or Cam can contact you guys no matter what clearance level you have for at least a year or however long we are over there. I'm still waiting to see if Cam can even come because she would be having our kid while over there and only one person can come. Our CIA if strict like that but I haven't ever dealt with Madagascar."

I looked at them in total shock how could this be happening. Mom and I were not back to normal since we had made up. Tears rushed to my eyes, but I held them back. I glance over the rest of us and most of them still sat there in shock.

I knew it wasn't there fault but I, I… how could they leave us when we needed them to teach us. Couldn't Dad say no or drop to a lower rank or anything but leave me. I mean they are leaving me. If Mom gets to go then she and Dad and then unborn baby with be over there being a happy little family and we are stuck over here being abandoned our family. Jealously ran through me but I shouldn't be jealous I was old and an adult, right? Okay so I'm not an adult and I'm jealous and all I want to do is cry, "Mommy, Daddy hold me."

Instead I run out and down the hall and too the P&E barn although I know that Mom, Dad, Bell, Grandma, Joe, and probably Abby are coming after me. I reach the barn and get to my Moms old favorite spot before letting the tears out. I'm not completely losing it as in sobbing recklessly but its not silent either.

"Your fast," Bella says as her and the other come and stand beside me.

"What wrong besides the obvious what are you thinking?" Dad asked.

"I'm jealous of … its not fair that you and Mom get to go over there and we don't as long as you two are together your like the perfect family and you have a baby on top of that your close to complete but with just us four its empty we don't have a Mom and Dad and that baby will its fair. And me saying that is rude and childish," I trail off, "When do you leave?"

"Its not childish, and three weeks," Dad says sinking to the floor and putting his arm around me, "I'd be jealous of us too," He whispers in my ear, I'm sorry I can't make it easier," I hear the pain and crackle of his voice. I give him a huge hug and he returns it just as hard as I did.

Im am sorry I haven't been keeping up but since i dont have a lot of reviews I thought it would be easy to skip a few days. I have only got 2 reviews on each chapter. So is there something different about this story and how could I improve it? And I need some story requests in any category or any book?
