just as nervous as Rachel. “My seven year old, well his name is Kevin and he’s staying with his father’s family for now.”
                  “How much luggage do you have?” After a two minute conversation she was already tired of hearing Leah speak.
                  “We just got two suitcases. I think the flight attendant said our bags would arrive at carousel four.” She popped her gum two more time and motioned for her boys to follow her.
                  I guess I can live with a little extra baggage for a day or two. Rachel grabbed the little boy’s hand and walked with them to pick up their luggage.

                  “We’re going to have to get her a car seat. I can’t afford a ticket and it’s not very safe for her to be sitting in your lap.” Rachel made a sharp left turn onto exit 228. Good thing she had some tint on her window, otherwise, she would’ve been over ten exits ago.
                  Leah dug into her knock off bag and pulled out a fresh stick of gum. She spit the old piece into the wrapper and threw it back in her purse. “Yeah, she outgrew the old car seat and I couldn’t afford to purchase a bigger one. I don’t get out much anyway. Not too many people are willing to watch four kids, ya know what I’m saying?”
                  Rachel parallel parked her SUV into the Walmart parking lot on Eagles Landing. She pushed open the driver door. “I’ll be back.” It’s funny she could afford whatever her and Curtis was smoking on, but she can’t afford to keep her baby safe. She headed towards the baby aisle. CJ was four, but he was tall enough for a booster seat; she had just given his old one away.
                  “Do you need help?” The store associate walked over to where Rachel was standing.
                  She looked at the worker who couldn’t have been no more than twenty years old. “That one please.” She pointed at a seat that she knew Oliva could use for a while. He placed the box into the shopping cart. “Thank you, sir.” Rachel showed a little teeth, still frustrated with Leah’s carelessness.
                  “Do you need some help out to your car, ma’am?” The young associate called after her.
                  “No, but thank you!”
                  “You looking real good for having a baby. If you don’t mind me saying, miss.” He looked Rachel up and down and bit his bottom lip.
                  Oh hell nah! Is this little boy flirting with me? “Actually, I do mind. Have a good evening, young man.” She pushed the buggy to the checkout line. She was a little flattered, but she couldn’t give him the satisfaction in knowing that.
                  Once outside, she properly put the seat in the car and grabbed Olivia from her mother and carefully strapped her in.
                  “Thank you, Rachel.”
                  “Yup.”
                  She drove into the parking lot of her apartment home and clicked the button on her key ring to open the gates. She pulled her vehicle down a hill and into the garage. They hopped out of the car and secured their belongings.
                  “This is nice!” Leah marveled over the décor and warned her kids not to touch anything.
                  The little Joneses had no idea their half siblings, along with their father’s girlfriend, were moving in. Rachel walked out the front door and across the walk way to gather her children. She thanked her neighbor and walked the three of them over to the pool area. “Let’s dip our feet in the water for a few minutes.”
                  “Yay!” The little ones cheered.
                  “No jumping, ok?”
                  “Yes, mom.” The two sang in
