Before Annabelle moved here to Seattle I never knew what love was I mean I dated some girls but Annabelle was nothing like those girls Justine was the only other girl but she passed away from brain cancer. Well I did know what love was that was because I received it from my parents and siblings. Now that I'm going to be a dad at the age of 18 and my girlfriend is leaving when the baby is 2 months old for naval training it's just myself and the baby well I have my many siblings, and my parents to help while I go to community College like Zola did. The college that I looked into was too much money, and it wasn't a college I really liked. I know that studying space tech at community college will help me when I go to Washington University.

"Hey Bailey can you give Harriet and I a ride to school because Zola is busy today and can't drive us." Hannah asked. "Hannah what are you going to do when we can't drive you to school." I asked her. "Well there's always Lexie or Ellis." Hannah said. "No Hannah Lexie got the opportunity to go to Los Angeles to film a movie, and Ellis has more medical things going on." I told her. "Wait WHAT" asked Hannah. I forgot that I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about Lexie's news yet because she hasn't decided to go and film or not because she would be leaving Ellis, Hannah, Luke, Amelia, Lizzie, Ty Ty, Zola, Mom, Dad, Fred, Carrie, Caroline, Daisy, and myself behind. I hope she goes because it would give her the opportunity to show people who she is. Even if she doesn't go I'll still support her.

"Bailey can you take me to see Dr. Johnson after school." Asked Ellis. "Sure but I thought you were going to stay with Callie?" I asked my sister. "Well Bailey I wanted a second option of this situation." Ellis told me. "NO sis mom and dad want you to have the best but you are a few days from being 16 so I guess I can take you." I told her. Since Ellis decided that she couldn't give up her ice skating after her hip surgery she went back to it. She recently had a fall during her routine and now she doesn't know what to do. At least this time it's not her hips. Poor girl goes from ear infections, to dislocated hips, to a hip surgery, a gallbladder removal, and now knee problems, will my poor little but not so little sister get a break I love her very much and hate to see her the way she is right now.

Being an older brother is awesome well until you stop being a role model because you messed up. I know that my siblings are probably mad at me for the baby but they seem fine to me but I don't know what its like behind my back. When I got to school Annabelle told me something about our child. I at least don't need to buy any toys, or clothing, or even any bedding because I can repurpose Ty Ty's things. Having a son is going to be awesome maybe it's like spending time with Luke and Ty Ty but it's a different story because I'm the child's father. I told Annabelle that we could start to think of names for the baby but she wants me to name him and if we have any more children together or if they are twins because they run in the family she wants both of us to work on collaborating the name together.

The names I like for my son are David, Bart, Thomas, Ken, Mike, Joey, and Ben after my best friend. I know being his father is going to be fun but a part of me wants a little girl so I could have the happy family that I grew up in. when I'm 50 I hope I have 9 children like my parents. "So Bailey would your parents be cool if I were to stay overnight tonight." Asked Harriet. "Well Harriet I'm not sure how come Hannah isn't going to stay with you guys tonight." I asked her. "Well Isaac, and Mark have pink eye and I don't think your parents would appreciate Hannah getting it." She told me. "Harriet I guess you can stay with us." I told her.

Both Jenny Avery, and Harriet Avery are nice. Jenny and Harriet are 18 months apart and Ellis, and Lexie are best friends with both but Jenny is 2 years younger than them and Harriet is around the same age actually I think Lexie and Ellis are a year older so probably Hannah and Harriet are the same age. Yesterday when I went to the hospital I talked to Zola and she said that Tuck was going to be starting an internship at the hospital. I remember when we were all young and playing together and now he's an intern, and Zola has her RN. I can't believe that we are so old already. Now that I'm 18 I guess anything can happen. "Bailey can you watch Liz and Ty tonight because your father and I want to spend some time together and your sister Amy is spending the night with your aunt Amy. Luke is going to be here with you, Ellis is going to the movies with Roger, and Lexie well she is going with Robert." My mom told me. "Did Lexie make her decision yet" I asked her. "Well Bailey I don't know not everyone knows what news she's got we will talk about it at dinner." My mom said.

During Dinner Lexie told us about her opportunity but she doesn't know if she's gong to take it or not. After dinner mom and dad left Ellis ended up going to the hospital because she was in pain, and Lexie and Robert went with her. I drove them to the hospital, with the twins, and Hannah, Harriet, and Luke. I over herd Lexie and Ellis talk about what they were going to do. "So you're going to California." Ellis asked. "Ya but ill be back soon. El I love you and I wish you could go with me but because you need another surgery you can't." Lexie told Ellis. "Lexie you shouldn't miss your shot of being who you are because of me I'll be fine." Ellis told Lexie. My sisters are pretty awesome actually all my siblings even the twins who are like 22 months old. Being the oldest son I am proud the pass on the Shepherd name and I hope "Mike" will love who he is. When I told Annabelle what I wanted to name our little boy she loved the names Mike, and Ben but Mike was her top choice. She likes Michael "Mike" Alexander Shepherd. Michael will be loved by both of us and if he is a twin and we have another boy his name will be Matthew James Shepherd, and if we have a daughter her name will be Nichole Lauren Shepherd. But I think it's going to be just Michael.

A/N: so I have been busy with school and all that kind of stuff so here is the next chapter. Anyways Bailey is going to have a surprise that nobody suspected. Also Meredith and Derek are going to be facing some upsetting times when Lexie goes to California for a while then when Ellis has Knee surgery. Also I didn't mean to use the hurricane names but I had this written before Nichole formed in the ocean but I've been busy so, anyways I hope you enjoy this story.
