AN: Hi! Okay so Jade has some religion views in this chapter. Those should not be taken personally. I do not care what religion you are. I put Jade as an Atheist because I am and I need Mal's parents to be bitter about something. Sorry if this offends you.

Jade checked everything nervously. Once she had checked everything a good 10 times Jade resulted to pacing. Eden noticed this and laughed at her other.

"Mom, calm down," Eden laughed.

Then the doorbell rang, Jade and Beck both ran to answer it. Jade had made it there first though.

"Hi," Jade smiled.

The people outside the door looked Jade up and down, their faces showed absolute disgust.

"Now I see why she couldn't keep you," The man said to Ivory.

Jade was shocked and his comment stung her. Finally, Ivory, Mal, the man, and the women came inside.

The man and the women walked in and sat down at the table.

Jade just shrugged and sat down. Then she started serving dinner. Eden brought up her spoon to eat but the women smacked it down.

"We have to pray first," She said bitterly.

"No, we don't, I'm atheist, we are not praying, by the way, I'm Jade West," Jade said.

"Atheist, ay? Now I see especially why she couldn't support you. Tell me Ivory, how the heck did you turn out to be such a sweet girl when you had this as a mother," the man said.

That set Jade off and she stormed to her room. Tears cascading down her face. Jade lay on her bed with her tears strolling down her face. Someone knocks on the door.

"Come in!" Jade calls, in walks Mal and Ivory. "Please close the door." Jade tells them, they obey and sit on her bed.

"Mom? I don't believe any of the things they said about you," Ivory said to her breaking mother.

"Yeah, my parents are jerks and have always been judgmental, they don't support anything I do. I want to be an architect, they want be to be a doctor, like the rest of the family," Mal said.

"Mal, my parents didn't support my decision either, they were extremely disappointed, which is why I got my tattoo. A rebel star," Jade said explaining her own story to her daughter's friend.

Ivory looked shocked at her mother's tale. Her mother seemed to be the nicest lady on the planet. She had searched for Ivory for 16 years! That takes dedication and yet her mother's parents didn't support her.

"Oh god! Mom, I'm so sorry but how? You are so nice," Ivory said, Jade laughed. Beck and Eden had come into the room that minute too. Beck laughed along with Jade.

"Honey, I am not the nicest person alive, not by far. You should have seen me in high school, I mean, ask your father," Jade said.

"She was not the nicest girl. She criticized everything and everyone. And she had a weird obsession with scissors," Beck said. Eden laughed.

"Beck, she still has that obsession," Eden said.

"That is not true! I just bring them out once a month to make sure they didn't break," Jade said.

"Hey, Jadelyn, Mal's parents are still here, should we?" Beck said.

Jade sighed but nodded her head. Beck led the way and everyone else followed.

Jade stood in front of Mal's parents. She deserved an apology.

"Jade, listen, we're sorry. We just couldn't believe anyone would give up their child," Mrs. Tipton said.

"I did not give her up! I couldn't find a job because no one wants to hire an 18 year old!" Jade said bitterly.

"Right, we're sorry and I hope we can become friends, by the way, the names Nicole," Nicole said and raised her hand, Jade shook it.

"And I'm sorry, my name is Cole," Cole said.

"You guys are married and your names are Cole and Nicole?" Jade said.

"Yeah, we know, it is kind of funny," Nicole said laughing.

Soon enough Nicole, Cole, Mal, and Ivory had to leave. And then Beck left.

"Mom?" Eden said.

"What?"

"I want to meet all your friends,"

"That shall be arranged,"

"Shall?"

"You heard me," Jade said.
