1997 - Ontario, Canada

Fifteen year old Roisin Vaughn could hear Siobhan yelling at her that she was going to be late for school as she hid in the bathroom with a positive pregnancy test in her hand. She ran a hand through her long, lushious red locks as she sighed and mumbled 'shit' under her breath. Roisin had no idea what she was going to do. And it was her own fault that she was pregnant anyways. If only she had listened to Siobhan.

"Roisin!" Siobhan yelled for the umpteenth time, "Hurry up! I'm not going to call you again!"

"I'm coming!" Roisin finally answered as she buried the pregnancy test and it's box in the trash can, before exiting the bathroom to find Siobhan waiting outside the door impatiently. Roisin just shrugged, "Sorry."

Siobhan just nodded, "Mhm...Just go get in the car. Sarah and Felix are already waiting."

"Right." Roisin replied as she rushed out the front door. She had no idea how she was going to tell Siobhan that she was pregnant. 'What would Siobhan say?' She thought.

The whole drive to school, Roisin gazed out the window. She was so lost in thought that she could barely even hear her eight year old little brother Felix pestering her and repeatedly calling her name.

"Felix, leave your sister alone." Siobhan told the boy

"Fine." Felix huffed

When Siobhan finally pulled up in front of the high school, Roisin quickly jumped out of the car before the woman was able to say goodbye.

"Bye Chicken." Siobhan called but it was too late. Roisin had already slammed the door.

"She's in a mood." Sarah observed

Siobhan sighed, "Yeah. She is." However she could sense that it was more than that. Call it a mum's intuition, but Siobhan could tell that something was bothering her oldest daughter.

During school, the day seemed to drag on and on for Roisin. She couldn't focus at all because of what she had found out that morning. It wasn't until after the teacher called on her in her third period class, that her friend looked at her and mouthed 'what's wrong with you?'

As quietly as she could, Roisin ripped out a sheet of paper from her notebook and wrote on it. She folded the paper up and discretely passed it to her concerned friend who read the note and then glanced back at Roisin and mouthed 'seriously?'

Roisin just nodded. At this point she didn't know what else to say. She'd been to so many different parties and slept with so many guys that she couldn't even begin to imagine who the father of her child could be. How embarrassing is that?

When school was over, Roisin decided that she needed some time to herself and texted Siobhan that she'd be walking home from school. Unfortunately that meant she also had to walk Sarah and Felix home too. After picking up her younger siblings from school, she instructed them that they were to be quiet the whole way home, but of course it wasn't that easy. 'What's in it for me?' both Sarah and Felix had asked, so Roisin bribed Felix with the promise of five bucks. He was too easy. Given that Sarah was thirteen and five dollars was little money to her, Roisin had to get a little more creative and she promised Sarah that the next time she hung out with her friends that she could hang out with them.

Even though Sarah was thirteen, she still thought that her older sister was so cool and liked the idea of hanging out with her sister and their friends so she agreed. And just as Roisin had hoped the walk home was completely silent. Neither Felix nor Sarah uttered a word. As the walk home was a little long, Roisin had plenty of time to think about what she would do about her current situation.

Upon arriving home both Sarah and Felix sat down to do their homework as requested by Siobhan, who did get a little bit of attitude from Sarah. Roisin however tried to sneak away upstairs. She knew the rules about doing homework downstairs, but she just wanted to get away from Siobhan. She couldn't face her knowing what she knew. She had a terrible poker face and just knew that Siobhan would know something was wrong right away.

"Eh, eh, eh. You know the rules, young lady." Siobhan called as she stopped Roisin in her tracks "Homework gets done at the table."

Roisin rolled her eyes before turning around to face Siobhan, "I'm fifteen. Why can't I just do my homework in my room? I can always come and ask for help if I need it. I know where you'll be."

"That's not the point, Roisin." Siobhan countered

Roisin crossed her arms, "Then what is your point, S? I don't see the big deal with doing my homework in my room. It's still going to get done."

Siobhan ignored Roisin's disrespectful tone, "Just sit downstairs and don't waste anymore time by arguing with me."

"Fine. If it will get you off my case." Roisin snapped as she walked over to the table. She muttered, "Geez, you're so anal."

Siobhan sighed as she thought, 'Whatever am I going to do with that girl?'. Roisin used to be such a good kid. She was even a semi-good teenager. Sometimes moody, but that was to be expected with teenagers. Ever since they moved to Ontario, Roisin was like a completely different kid. She never listened anymore and was always arguing. She was going to parties and staying out late at night into the early morning. Nothing that Siobhan tried to get through to Roisin tried seemed to work. The more she tried the more Roisin pulled away and rebelled.
