"Doesn't sound too much different from now." Sleep was something that she clung onto when she could get it but getting comfortable was next to impossible. Plus if it wasn't another bathroom run it was getting kicked around. Thankfully for the moment the walking seemed to be rocking her enough that she didn't feel the need to kick Kaylee in the liver. "Might be a better long term investment, Principal B. Plus those are harder to stick in the refrigerator and forget about it, but far easier to baby-sit than the real thing." Ah, she missed Toby. He was an adorable little guy and seemed to have grown a bunch every time she went to baby-sit for him.
"I haven't." Kaylee frowned a little wondering what her parents would actually have to say about it. "I mean they'd still get to see all of that when I graduated out of Hobbs even if it takes me ten more years to get through college. And I know I'm 16 and sort of legally their responsibility..." She bit her lower lip for a moment just trying to figure out how to word it all. "In about a month though I'm also going to be a mother. That is not my mother's responsibility nor my father's. They have been kind enough to allow me to remain living under their roof for now, but when it comes down to cloth or disposable diapers, who is allowed to baby-sit, taking her to doctor's appointments, and everything along those lines. That is between me and Johnny. I can ask for advice, but in the end it's going to be up to me and him to make the right choices and take the consequences. And really right now my preferring the idea of a GED has more to do with my daughter than my parents. I don't plan on it being my only graduation and Mrs. Evans has reminded me of the whole "high school experience" I'd be missing out on. I don't really have friends in my own class though. The seniors I know are all going to be graduating, and the Sophomore's would probably still see plenty of me trying to do tutoring for the extra money. So... Really the main disadvantage seems to be not being able to walk across the stage to get my diploma. Though I would be the first where you'd hear someone calling one of your graduates "mama"?"
