-Chapter-17-

-Cassandra pov-

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHES MOVING IN TOO?!" I look at my girlfriends like they are crazy "We are just taking in all moms now?!"

"Oh come on" Judy wraps her arm around me "It's just your mom! She needs some place to stay! She can't be that bad can she?"

"Oh you have no idea" I sigh and shake my head "Get ready for spoiled kids, a new multi-relationship, and never being able to drive to the store"

"That sounds nice" Madison rolls her eyes "I think you've gone insane"

"You'll see!" I walk away from them "You'll all see!"

-Time skip-

"CALM DOWN PLEASE!" I sit back as the girlfriends all chase down hyped up kids "Cassandra help!"

"Nope" I sit back and relax "Nothing happened!"

"You were right alright!" Judy tries to catch Rachel but can't "Just help!"

"EVERYONE IN HERE RIGHT NOW!" All of the girls are in front of me quickly "Who gave you sugar?"

"T-that would be me" I sigh as my mom holds her hand up "I-I couldn't say no! She started using a stick and couldn't see! It was so sad when she turned on puppy dog eyes!"

"Of course" I look at Rachel "You had to be the mastermind...you know what that could do to you? Let me see your pump"

She turns and I look at the numbers and groan. I turn to Shelby and shake my head. I walk past everyone and out the backdoor. I need fresh air right now.

"What was it?" I turn and see Shelby "How high?"

"She's lucky she isn't on life support" I look back out to the yard "Why didn't you talk to me first? I couldn't talked with my mom at least...told her everything and the expectations! It feels..it feels like I'm still not equal"

"They love you dear" I turn and only see my mom in the doorway "She went in upset...I can leave if it's going to be too much"

"Rachel has diabetes and is blind" Mom looks at me shocked and genuinely surprised "Shelby has diabetes but the blinding is a long story"

"I-I didn't know" Mom sighs and sits on the ground "I've made a mess of things haven't I?"

"You've always wanted to have grandkids" I walk over and sit down beside her "You finally have them and you didn't know how to control yourself"

"I should've been better" My mom pulls her legs up and put her head in her knees "I should be better but I'm not...I'll never be like your aunt was"

"Was?" I look at mom confused and get a confused look "Aunty Dee never died"

"What do you mean?" Mom reaches in her pocket and pulls out a letter "This is from her estate"

I grab the letter and open it. I take a deep breath

'Dear sister,

YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT! STOP STOMPING AROUND FIXING YOUR ISSUES! Your daughter wants nothing more than to have you in her life! So please stop sending me money to take care of her.

I have all the money saved here with me. Cass is in college right now. She's gonna make it big on Broadway you know? I know she is giving up on the dream but...but I believe in her.

She's got a real shot at it. I just hope I'm not too late. Anyways COME PICK YOUR DAMN MONEY UP!

-Love you sister Dee'

"She's not dead and it's not from her estate" I look over at my mom blankly "It's from her saying to get your money you kept sending"

"Oh" Mom let's put a relieved sigh and then jumps up "MY MONEY?! There's thousands of dollars over there!"

"She still lives in her old apartment" I stand up and turn the the door "Let's go get the girls"

"Why?" I raise a eyebrow at my mom "We could just go"

"You think aunt Dee won't be mad?" Mom shakes her head no and I walk inside "My point exact"

-Time skip-

We park the vans outside of my old home. It's not really changed much. Still good old New York. So it's a nice apartment just shitty people.

I lead everyone to the entrance and we take the elevator up. We get off on the floor and I lead them to the apartment. I knock on the door and hear shuffling. After a few minutes there's some cursing too.

"I'll be out in a moment!" There's some more words and then the door opens "CASSANDRA!"

"Hey Aunty" I move to the side "I brought my family and a surprise!"

"I love surprises!" She lets the family in with a smile then flares "I don't love this surprise"

"Love to see you too sister" Mom scoffs "I don't think I'm wanted here"

"You aren't" Aunt Dee gives a sweetly sick smile "Why didn't you pick up on that on the way here?"

"Enough!" I shake my head and head toward the elevator "I just finally wanted my family all together...obviously it was too much to fucking ask for"

"What did you just say?" I stop and go tense at Shelby's voice "Step back in here"

"I-I think I'm going to the car" I hear footsteps get closer but can't move "I-I rry?"

"You will be" Oh no it's Madison "In the apartment and over my lap"

I get lead in and feel embarrassment "My mom and aunt are here" I cringe as a hand touches my pants button "No...I'm wearing a diaper!"

"It's that or bare butt" I stop fighting and let her pull it down "Now bend over"

I do as I'm told and get the spankings. After the punishment I'm given back my pants. I curl up into Madison as the tears fall down. It's more from embarrassment than pain.

"So" I can't look at my mom "You Uh..got a kink?"

"It's a type of therapy" I hear aunt Dee get closer "We did a number on you growing up"

"I ood" I'm too far gone "I e ood! O ev e!"

"I won't leave again" Aunt Dee sighs and stands up "Time to solve this Debbie"

"Agreed" Mom sighs "Hal left and I was working jobs to make ends meet...I never told you because you were against it before he left"

"Why lie?" Mom doesn't answer "Come on! This is the most you've ever talked to me! Don't stop!"

"Because" Mom wipes some tears away "Because I didn't wanna admit I was the loser of us two"

"You weren't the loser" Aunt Dee moves away from me and I watch her go to mom "You are a strong and smart woman! I'm sorry I pushed against you so much"

"I'm sorry I lied" I smile as they share a hug "This feels nice"

"Yes it does" They break apart and Aunty looks around "So you all are Cassandras family huh?"

"Yes" Shelby stands up "I am Shelby, we have Judy, Maribel, Madison, and Emma in the relationship with her"

"I am Rachel" She stands with a smile "I have Lucy, Brittany, and Santana in my relationship"

"I am sugar" Susan stands up now "I have Pamela, Jasmine, and Fran in my relationship"

"We are freeloaders" Sam stands with a chuckle from everyone "We are Samantha and Grace"

"That leaves us" Mary stands up with Janine "We are Mary and Janine! We are the grandmas!"

"The two babies are Beth and Abby" Judy looks at the girls "Some of our girls are doing what Cass is too"

"You've got a big family" My aunt looks at me with a smile "You finally make it to Broadway and get them?"

"I...I own a dance studio" My aunt looks at me confused "I never made it to Broadway"

"But she's going to try with me!" I look at Rachel shocked "I'm going to Juilliard and she will help me! Then we can both go!"

"I like her spirit" Aunty looks back at me "You've got a good family here"

"Debbie is apart of it too" Mary steps over to them "Shes already gotten word of what happens in the house"

"That's good to hear honestly" Dee smiles at mom "She's never been one to get into something like this easily"

Mom chases Dee and the girls follow. I smile as they all laugh and run. It's really like a little family. I really hope this lasts.

I really want it to last.
