You know that I only own very few things, right? Like the mere title, plot, house, and Kaitlyn Juliet.

-The move had been about a week ago. Now Lucy found herself in Montana, still no news on the house she had bid on. Living with her friend, her friend's daughter and her daughter. The yearlings had came yesterday and Lucy had fallen in love with one of them, she had named it Lightning. Lightning was very face...as fast as the speed of light, Lucy would often joke. Katey was asleep in her crib, Danielle was also asleep in the room next to Katey, Marie was watching the news, and Lucy was standing out in the rain working with Lightning. Marie knew Lucy loved Lightning as much as she loved Katey so that was why when Lucy moved, Marie was giving Lightning to Lucy. Marie peered out the window to see lightning flash in the distant, she guessed Lucy had seen it too, because she hooked Lightning's lead onto her, and lead her into the barn, 10 minutes later Lucy entered the house. –
"So how's lightning doing?" Marie asked Lucy as Lucy hung her jacket on the coat rack.
"Great, I'm gonna go take a shower, okay? Did Katey wake up at all?" Lucy asked.
"Okay and yes once but I rocked her back to sleep." Marie answered.
"Thanks." Lucy said.

-Lucy jogged out to the mailbox the next day. She had just finished up with another yearling, Star and wouldn't be working with Lightning for a couple of hours. She grabbed the mail flipping through it's contents.
"Marie...Marie...Me...Me...Me...Bill...Bill...Bill...Katey and Me...Marie and Dani..." Lucy read to herself. There was also a big envelope. She entered the house and Handed Marie her stuff and took her stuff to her room. Her room had pale pink walls...with a bed that had pink flowered comforter, A couch, a playpen, a TV, a dresser and a bedside table. She sat down and looked at the first white envelope.
Lucy Angelica Camden
1534 Westbrooke Rd.
Williamston, Montana
The envelope read in golden writing. But just as she was about to open it she heard Katey's cries from the other room. A few minutes later she returned and sat Katey on her lap. She continued opening it and read...
Dear Lucy,
This is Jeremy. Just thought I'd let you know I'm married. Heard you had the kid. Girl? Boy? Must go.
Jeremy
That letter went straight to the garbage. She opened the next Letter.
Lucy,
I know your mad but who cares? Your just a baby and always were!
Why don't you run to mommy?
Mary
-Another letter to the trash. Then went on to the other one. –
Dear Luce,
How are you? It's boring here, mom is screaming all the time about how she hopes we never turn into something like you. Matt just says 'I always knew Lucy would be the bad one of the family.' Simon has himself locked up in his room. He hasn't talked to his wife at all since this happened. And I haven't left my room at all. I can't stand mom, she is a witch! Always yelling at Simon and me. She always says were the three bad children. I'm surprised she hasn't kicked us out yet. But oh well because as soon as I find a place I am out of here. What is my nieces name? Mary won't tell me she says 'it doesn't concern you Ruthann.' I hate her, mom, the twins, and Matt. Dad left. Guess he couldn't stand it anymore. How are you? What is your job? I really miss you. Please right back.
Love Ya Luce,
Ruthie
-Lucy with tears in her eyes sat that on the dresser and looked down at Katey who was playing with her toys happily on her bed. –
"That was your Aunt Ruthie, Katey." Lucy told the infant. She was only going to let Katey know Ruthie and Simon as her aunt and uncle. She went to the box and opened it.
Just some toys for the baby. –Ruthie
–Was written on a piece of paper. Lucy took out the contents of the box. Some toys, clothes and a baby blanket. Lucy sat the box on the floor but gave Katey the blanket. Lucy then grabbed the big envelope and opened it carefully. A few papers fell out onto the bed. Lucy picked them up and flipped through them. But something written in cursive lettering caught her eye.
Mary Catherine Camden-Rankin filing for custody of Kaitlyn Juliet Camden.
Court date, April 17th.
-Lucy dropped the papers. She couldn't believe it. Mary was trying to take her one important thing in her life away. No! No way would she. Lucy ran out of her room with Kaitlyn in her arms. –

-Marie stood in the kitchen when she heard footsteps coming running to her. She turned around to see Lucy come running. –
"Luce, what's wrong?" Marie asked slightly confused as she motioned for Lucy to put Katey down on the floor with Dani and for her to sit on the couch next to her. Lucy did so.
"My stupid sister Mary is filing for custody of Katey." Lucy replied.
"We won't let her get that." Marie replied.
"Yah right, she gets whatever she wants." Lucy said.
"Well she won't this time." Marie replied. The two talked for a few more minutes before putting the children down, and Lucy went outside to work with Lightning.
