Dear Diary,

I talked to Jeff today. It was good to hear his voice again. He apologized for not calling me sooner after finding out I was on Earth, but everyone has been so busy lately. Dad and Sarah both have their jobs to think of, not to mention Shannon and Anna. Shannon and Anna both have school and aren't really allowed to make long distance phone calls and Jeff, of course, has college keeping him busy, but now he finally found time to call. He was thrilled at the idea of becoming an uncle and neither he or dad mind me getting pregnant at such a young age. Though he's glad me and Andros are getting married, knowing Andros is willing to take responsibility. I've been able to get him to admit he was waiting for the news I was pregnant, for I knew he was expecting it. I mean, be honest, when living with your boyfriend those thing can be expected. God knows what he and his girlfriend are doing when nobody's looking. You know, scratch that, I don't even WANT to think about it. ANDROS, STOP READING OVER MY SHOULDER! A DIARY IS PRIVATE YOU KNOW! Now where was I? Oh yeah, anyway, Jeff told me that when he had been home they had talked about me and my situation. Just like Jeff, Shannon and Anna can't wait to meet their nephews, nieces, nephew and niece, what ever it's going to be, which reminds me, I was still able to give them some news about my pregnancy, since they didn't know it was a twin. Jeff said he would let me tell dad, isn't he the sweetest big brother you've ever met? Like I said, dad is also thrilled that he'll be a grandfather soon. He trusts me completely with what I'm doing. He knows my ages says nothing about the ability of caring for a baby, since I helped out whenever I could with Anna and baby sited both my sisters since I was twelve, though Jeff was there too. Besides that, I'm not the only girl who will be a mother at the age of nineteen, some girls become a mother at an earlier age. I will leave it here, there is so much more I could write, but since Andros can't read over my shoulder he's found some other thing to do; trying to get me to come to bed, saying I should rest. I guess I'll give in to him, since he will continue until I do.

Love,

Ashley
