Martha held Gwen close, knowing that she wouldn't take this softly. Gwen was her baby, and the last one to be born into her litter. Gwen had all ways been the baby of the family, and for the longest time, she was the pride and joy of their family, always getting cuddled, and getting what she wanted, being able to crawl into their bed if she had a bad dream with out kicking other siblings out of the way and such. She was their life, their everything, and Martha and Gwen knew thats how it was supposed to be. Gwenalyn Connors was was supposed to be their everything. Martha swallowed, and held Gwen's head against her chest, stroking her back hair while the other arm was wrapped around her waist. Holly had never seen anything compared to this, a Mother cuddling her nearly 13 year old daughter? "Gwenalyn...." Martha began. 'oh no, full name, this can't be good...' Holly thought. "I'm... pregnant..." Holly and Margaret's jaw dropped as their Mother uttered those words.

Gwen stared at her mom with shock. Her eyes begun to water, she stood up and walked out of the room upset. Another baby, she couldn't take it. She was the youngest and preferred being the youngest. She walked up the stairs sobbing and entered her room slamming the door, and locking it. She climbed out the window and onto the roof.

Martha sighed, and stood up. "Mom, I'll-" holly began but her Mother simply shook her head and walked up the stairs. She easily opened the door, sliding a penny into the little entrance in the door so it opened. She looked around Gwen's room for a moment. She hadn't been in this room in ages, the last time was when Gwen was aroudn 7 years old, and she was throwing a tantrum about god knows what. She sigh. She wasn't extremely pregnant yet, she barely had a baby bump to say the least. She climbed out the window and onto the roof beside Gwen she sat down, sighing. "Your upset..." she began.

Gwen knew her mom had joined her outside, but she didn't look at her. Or made any indication that she knew that she was there. Then looked in the opposite direction to her mom.

Martha sighed, and looked down at the ground below. "Your still our baby Gwen." she mused, a slim smile on her lips. "Besides.... Do you think the second this babies born we're gonna change the locks and forget you exist? No, we're not." she said than sighed. "Gwenalyn... All of you are grown up, and this house is to big for just me and your Father..."

Gwen stared at her mom with red eyes and said "What do you think? It already happened to me." She hopped off of the roof and walked back downstairs and crawled into Holly's lap.

Martha sighed, and stayed on the roof as Gwen left, knowing she couldn't get through to Gwen right now.
Holly closed her eyes as she held Gwen, holding her youngest sister close enough to were she knew they could hear one another's heart beats."Gwen.." Holly said softly. "Give her a break... She's our Mother and doesn't have to run things past us." she said, looking down at Gwen. "When Mom announced I was going to have siblings, I hated it." she said bluntly. "First was Zachary who was my younger twin, than Margaret, than you." she said, holding Gwen tighter. "And now, now I'm so glad I have you..."

Gwen nodded crying, hugging Holly tightly. She said "I know... But I've been so used to it, for so long!"

Holly nodded, and held Gwen closer till there was only fabric separating them. "I know baby....I know.." she whispered. "But we have to learn to take turns... We have a big family, and Mommy needs people.... She came back 26 years old Gwen, she needs family..." And Holly knew this wasn't going to be the last child either, their Mama needed babies around to feel important. She needed for somebody to need her.

Gwen shrugged, she knew that Holly was right. She hugged Holly. She didn't want to lose her family, but at least she'd have Emily, Maggie, and Holly. Even Alu.
