Today was visitations, and Haley was going with us to see our mom. "Girls, let's go," She called up the stairs. Beth ran down first holing Blacky, and in a new outfit Haley just bought her.

"Can I show her to my mom?" Beth held the puppy high, she had been so happy to hear that we were going to see mom. I was glad she hadn't forgotten about her.

"No, honey. They won't let her in," Beth pouted her lips, this usually worked on them, but not this time. Haley took the puppy and set her down and the puppy took off. Haley pushed us out of the door; she hated to be late.

Haley wanted us to have alone time with our mother before she talked to her, and I agreed. "But I want Haley to come with me, I'm scared." Beth whined. I grabbed her hand, and said let's go.

"I'll be out here whenever you're ready for me to meet her. Ok?" She called as we stepped through the door.

I gasped; she looked the same as two days ago. Beth hit behind my leg, acting like she had never seen the woman before. I gave her a hug, and she reached for Beth, but Beth shook her head no.

"Beth, have you missed momma?" Mom asked her. Beth looked up at me, and I made a goofy face. She grinned.

"I love Haley momma. She's the best fake mom." Beth announced, I saw the pain flash through my mom's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"That's nice, but I want to hear about you, baby. I've missed you."

"I gotta puppy, well really it's all of ours, but I named her. Guess what her name is."

"Where did you guys put my things?" She was tired of hearing about our great new life, so she changed the subject.

"It's in a storage until we find out how long you're here."

"I won't be here long, I promise."

"You promised we would go to Disney World." Beth said.

"And we will, just as soon as I get out."

"Mom don't do that," I said.

"Do what Jenny?" She was really confused.

"Promise her that stuff, you don't know how long you're in here for."

"Jenny, I'm not going to be here forever, I didn't kill anyone…"

"No you just stole, its still against the law. Mom, I'm not here to argue, I wanted to see how you were."

"It sucks in here. Girls, don't ever be as stupid as I was to get caught up with your boyfriend in something like this."

"Sucks is a bad word," Beth said.

"Mom, what kind of lawyer do you have?" I felt like the adult in the situation, I wanted her free, but she really didn't want to work at it.

"I don't know, some arrogant man, who is not trying to help…"

"Let me ask Haley if she knows anyone. I'll bring her back so you two can meet." I got up and went into the waiting room.

"Jenny, is something wrong?" she asked because I had tears in my eyes. She already knew my sister and I so well.

"She doesn't care to help herself, I mean she let them appoint her some lawyer with no incentive to get her out. And all Beth is doing is hurting her feelings. I'm lost." By this time she had her arms around me and I was sobbing on her shoulders.

"Well I can't help all the problems, but what if I talk to her and see if she wants me to work on her case."

"Really, would you do that?"

"For you and your sister, I would do anything." After I composed myself, I lead her into the visiting room.

"Mom, this is Haley Scott. Haley this is our mom, Nicole." Haley stuck her hand out to shake moms but mom just looked at her like she had seen a ghost. "Mom Haley said she could work on your case…"

"NO!" Mom yelled. The guard glanced towards her warningly, and Beth jumped out of her seat. "I'm sorry, girls. May I please speak to Haley alone for a moment? I'll sent the guard when I'm ready to see you girls again." I looked strangely between the two, but neither gave away a thing, so Beth and I headed into the waiting room.

"Maybe mom wants to give custody to Haley." Beth said hopeful.

"Beth, shut-up. That is our mother, and you just want to throw her away for the next best thing? Besides, Haley and Nathan do not want two orphans."

"What's an orphan?"

"Kids whose parents aren't around to take care of them."

"Us?"

"Yeah."

Haley walked through the door, and looked at me like she'd seen a ghost. Tears fell from her eyes as she reached me and gave me a hug that lasted at least five minutes. When I tried to gently push her away, she held on tighter.

"What did mom say to you?" I asked curious for her reaction.

"I'll explain later. She wants to see you two, but visitation is almost over, so make it quick." Before she let me walk away she embraced me in another hug.

When we went back in, my mom was bawling, I had never seen her so upset. I ran to her, "Mom? What's the matter?"

"Nothing, listen to me girls. I love you so much."

"Why are you both crying?"

"No matter what happens I love you."

"Momma, can I call Haley mom? She said I could but I wanted to make sure that you don't care," Beth broke in.

"No, I'm your only mother. You girls won't be with them much longer, if I can help it. Jenny you have to protect your sister."

"What? Why?"

"Just listen to me, she is not a nice person."

"But she offered to help you with your case."

"As soon as you girls left she attacked me and said that she would never let you see me again, and then when she got the opportunity she would send you away, and adopt Beth. Both her and Nathan are in on it."

"What?"

"Yeah, I told her to adopt you too, but she said that you were too far gone for Nathan to brainwash."

"Mom, that's a little far fetched."

"She told me she want the perfect step-ford wife life, and you don't fit that image."

"Give me a break, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard."

"Jenny, you have to keep your guard up. She said that when she took you to the game the other night, Beth fight right in and that none of her friends really wanted to know you at all." It dawned on me that the only people who really spoke to me a lot were JR and Keith, but I assumed that it was because I was watching the game. I was floored I couldn't believe this, how could Haley treat me like this. She asked me to come live with her, and now she was stealing my sister.

"Mom, that will never happen. I promise, I love you and will always keep Beth safe, from them." The guard told us we had to leave, so we found Haley still looking pale. She grabbed me in a hug again and this time I pushed her away.

"Jenny…"

"My mom told me everything." I bluntly told her as I marched to the SUV.

"She did? That's great I thought I was going to have to break the news to you. How are you? Jenny, talk to me. Honey, wait this is a life altering event, please say something."

"All I have to say is that it's never going to work out, I won't let it." I slammed the door shut, I couldn't believe that she wanted to discuss splitting my sister and I up after trying to keep us together.
