I've been sick the past couple of weeks, which is why I haven't posted in awhile. This chapter isn't my best but hopefully I will get back into the swing of things soon enough. Within the next week I'll be posting on all of my stories.

Chapter 15

"Hey, Mom. Can we talk?" Kelsey walks into the living room where I'm sitting on the couch going through papers for work. With the girls out of school for the summer I want to spend as much time with them as possible, basically by cutting my hours at work a little.

"Of course." I grin. At least one of my daughters is speaking to me. Millie hasn't even said anything to me all day, which is really strange for my youngest. She usually talks to me about everything and anything.

"Okay, well it's about Jason. Wait, whatever I say here is just between the two of us, right? You aren't going to tell Daddy, right?"

"I won't." I take her hand and squeeze it. I don't want to lose my daughter's trust, I know some things are meant for only my ears. Especially about her boyfriend.

"Good." She nods. "I was, we were…I think I'm ready to you know…" She ducks her head.

"What?" I'm a little confused. I really hope my fifteen year old daughter isn't talking about what I think she's talking about. "Sex?"

"Yeah, that." She says. "I know I really like Jason, possibly love but there's a slight problem in all of this."

"Yeah, you're fifteen. That's the problem." I'm really starting to sound like Ryan. I understand that my little girl is growing up and I need to let her but I know that if she jumps into this so quickly she'll only get her.

"Don't, Mom. You were fifteen." She points out.

"Yeah, I was but I was also stupid. It was a terrible decision, Kelsey." I try.

"And you also jumped into bed with Daddy the same exact day you two saw each other in Berkeley."

"Who told you that?"

"Aunt Summer, Uncle Seth. They like to talk." She shrugs. "This isn't about you right now though, this is about the fact that Jason won't…you know."

"You can't even say the word, Kelsey. That shows you aren't ready, among plenty of other things."

I don't want her to go through what I had gone through at her age. I don't want her to regret doing this for the rest of her teenage years. I used to wish I had waited until I met Ryan. Of course that wasn't for another three years but it would have been more special. So, Kelsey might be right about Ryan and I jumping into bed right away but it was different. Much more different then this situation. I was also older and more mature. I could handle whatever happened. Kelsey might be strong but I don't think she could handle this just yet.

"God, it's not even a big deal. It's just two people…"

I had to stop her.

"No, it is not just two people just doing it. It's so much more then that, Kelsey! There's just so many things you need to consider before going through with it. Like STD's, pregnancy. Even consider the fact that at fifteen you will possibly regret this."

"I don't think I will."

"You'll wish you waited. You'll wish you didn't just jump into it."

"I'm done with this." She said getting up. I went to reach for her arm but she just shrugged me off. "You have no right to tell me any of this, Mom. It's a little hypocritical don't you think?"

"I just don't want you to make the same mistakes as I did. I'm not going to let that happen either, Kelsey. You're not me."

"That's a good thing." She muttered and walked off.
