Answers and Baby 36

Oh dear everyone I'm so sorry its taken so long to update you on what all is going on. So I got the news from Donovan and Dannah's dad that he was ready to take them to travel around the world to help support and raise awareness for  breast cancer patients and their families. I hated to see them leave but I knew that this would be good for them and their dad couldn't wait. Having them out of the house made things so quiet and Mollie BEGGED me to allow her to age up. I always want to make my children happy when she aged up she refused to let me take pictures or even talk to her. She ran out the door in the middle of the night. I went running after her but it was to late she was gone.
I just stood there for over an hour thinking she might come back. It was no use though I called Andy and he was livid at me yelling and cursing at me that I hit her. I couldn't believe what Mollie was doing to me. My beautiful daughter who I loved more than words despite her attitude and evil doings I stood by her always cheering her on and trying to help her make smart choices. Now that she was a teen I knew that things would be different. I decided to give her some time with her dad and hopefully she would come back with a change of heart. OH BOY WAS I WRONG...
A lawyer called me stating that Andy (Mollie's Dad) was taking me to court for full custody. My heart sank, one of the perks of this challenge was that the dad's had to sign a contract to not fight for custody but they could visit their child at any time. Well Andy slipped threw the paper work when he raped me so he wasn't found breaking contract. The court date was THE NEXT DAY. Mrs. Andrews (Andy's Lawyer) dropped the paper work off to me at 11:46pm and since it was still "24 hour notice" I had to show up in court or not fight. I got on the phone and found an old friend of mine Drake Nobe who was a lawyer and I asked him to help me in my case against Andy. Drake was more than happy to help me and got over to my house at 5:00am to help get a case together. I was still caring for 2 toddlers and 2 babies so I was very distracted by them while talking to Drake but after 9 long hours we had the best case we could present. I offered to pay Drake but he simply said it was a favor. I smiled it was nice to have SOME good in this situation. Court was at 7:00pm since we wanted both Andy and Mollie there we had to wait for Mollie to finish her community service for the day. Yes community service LONG STORY let me tell you.
I got home from court in tears the lies they told about me where horrible and I know that their Lawyer was in on it. I cringed at the thought of loosing Mollie but even more so the thought of loosing ALL my kids. Mollie got on the stand and went into a sob story of how I don't allow her to attend school because I need to be on my back all day for a living. Yes she went there, she also went into how I hit her all the time when she doesn't listen to me or help me out with the kids. But then the most HORRIBLE thing she said was that I neglected her as a baby because of what her father did to me when it was ME who made him join the challenge not him rape me. I sat there as tears fell from my eyes . My daughter who I wanted to give the best in life dispite what feelings where between her father and I and this is what I get. My lawyer and I were not ready for these allegations and looked like we where lying when they asked us questions. The Judge said that she would have to reach a verdict on a different day but for now Mollie was to live with the parent of her choice. Mollie threw her arms around her dad and said "Of course I want to be with my dad!" I bowed my head and knew that things where really bad.

Then got a phone call from Della Wriner asking me to be her maid of honor. I needed this pick me up and got so excited to be apart of her wedding day. Della had ALL of us 100 baby challenge mom's over for a meeting and she wanted us to try on our dresses and see if the hair style would work before the wedding took place later that day. Della also showed us her dress and I was taken back by how beautiful she looked. Then I saw some of the other mom's (not all could make it to this meeting) and I was so happy to have this ADULT GIRL TIME that I really enjoyed myself and talking to the other ladies. They where interested in my challenge and I stated that for now it was on hold till things got settled in court and I was still not over the death of my father. Della and I shared a hug while the other ladies where talking about their children and what their kids where up to. The wedding was beau

This is the final look that Della and Jay chose for the bridesmaid wedding! My dress was a little different being that I was the MOH (Maid of Honor) but we all looked gorgeous especially Della and Jay! My mind would often wonder off in la la land thinking that at this moment the Judge could be going over my case. I hoped that I showed him the real me and not the horrible person that Andy and Mollie where making me out to be. I pushed my feelings aside and stood by Della's side at the wedding and then the reception afterwards was a blast. Dancing and even getting a chance to meet the other mom's face to face. Jay could not stop looking at Della and you couldn't talk to one without the other right there. It was romantic and beautiful. I got to thinking maybe I would be following in her foot steps and not finish the challenge and just raise the kids I have and call it good. I didn't want to have horrible dad, kids that hate me, or court orders about how I'm not fit to be a parent. I didn't let anyone see the true pain I was feeling. This was not my day and I wasn't about to ruin it for Della and Jay. 
As the reception drew to a close and Della's son Griffin was working on getting all of her 100 children home I gave her something I made for her. This picture was taken on her first visit to Riverview and I had to blow it up a bit to fit into the frame making it a little blurry. I thanked her for asking me to be her maid of honor and that I was so happy for her happiness. We hugged and She started to tear up. "Vi, you are so strong and even though things seem rough right now just remember all the people who love and care about you." Della said while stepping back. Jay then approached us and asked if he could take his wife away to their honeymoon in France. I smiled and nodded yes but I still had Della's word floating in my head. 
I woke up the next day and I knew that something had changed in me. I was not one to give up nor was I one to let people push me around and tell me that I'm something I'm not. I got on the phone and talked to Liz (Elizabeth Reting) and found out who she talked to when she was selling her house. We both lived in Riverview and so it made it easy to contact her. She texted me the name of a great agent who was happy to help me. The problem was I wanted to MOVE to a completely different town. Liz was bummed but understood that we would still have phone calls, e-mail/chats, and of course we could travel to visit each other! We talked about how we both started this challenge together and it would be a shame if I stopped now. I told her that NOTHING was going to change my mind and that I wouldn't even consider quiting my challenge till I had at least 100 children! Elizabeth cheered and we did an air hug threw the phone! I called the number she gave me but the agency was sad to report I had to work with an agent from the town I was moving to and not the town I was moving from. I got busy looking as different listings and found a house the was For Sale By Owner. I wasn't trilled by this but thought it was worth checking out.
I changed my look a little thinking that it was a new place and fresh start but in the same way I still have 35 wonderful children that I'm leaving behind. But several of them have moved too. Such as Madden! When he grew up he looked up Vanessa Wood and thought that it would be neat to hang out with her and catch up, but secretly I knew that he wanted to be apart of Nessa's challenge and who could blame him? I told him that she had just lost her several of her kids to a horrific car accident and that she might not be doing the challenge at this moment but to be gentle and kind and wait before just jumping in and saying "HEY I want to be a dad in your challenge!" Even I hate when guys do that to me. I got word from Madden that she WAS continuing her challenge and DOES what Madden in it. I was so happy for Madden that he was going to be having a baby with the teenage crush he carried threw his young adult stage of life.

Nessa e-mailed me this picture. Madden is going to be an awesome dad to their little one and oh they found out they are having a BOY! I can't wait to see this little one grow up and maybe even visit G-ma Violet every so often! Nessa was due soon and I couldn't wait to get the phone call from either one of them saying how things went and of course THE NAME!
Before moving I had the younger kids age up! Angel was quite handsome and since his dad was so dark I can't really tell what features are his fathers exactly but I can tell you that his eyes and skin are ALL ME!
Aleah grew up and I was captivated my her beauty. Her light skin complimented her brown hair and eyes perfectly. She was shy, and soft spoken but is a great help around the house when she feels like it. I understand that kids want to be kids and so I never push them to help out but their help is always welcome.
Stacia has dark brown hair and her dad's eye's! She's so cute and I love that her hair is longer than Aleah's was because I can now put ribbons and bows in a little girl's hair!
Star was quite similar to her father but like we all know as kids grow they change and other features decide to pop out!
The previous owner was more than happy to rent the space out to us but I was very clear that I wanted to buy! It was a small 2 bedroom house but it had allot of land. I figured that it would work for now until I got settled down enough and built my savings again. He handed me the keys and was off. Aleah and Angel waisted no time.
They where running around the yard enjoying the fresh air! We even had a few kids stop by to visit. I was happy with settling down here and moving on but not forgetting many of the people and situations from before. I still wanted to start my band with some of the challenge mom's and I wanted to continue and FINISH my 100 baby challenge, but I debated starting now or waiting till after the verdict was in on if Mollie would be coming back home or not. We would always make room for her and I would give her the master bedroom if having her own space was an issue. I hated leaving my beauitful house behind but new surroundings was perfect.
MORE AWESOME NEWS! Vanessa and Madden had their baby!

I was so excited about this and I couldn't wait to stop by and visit him but first things first I had to get a few things taken care of first before I leave town anytime soon! 
I went outside to call the kids in for lunch when I got a text from Della telling me about her sister Winny decided to jump her and Jay while on their honeymoon. I was so mad and wished that I had been there because no one messes with my friends. Especially Della she is one of the sweetest people I know and has been threw so much. She deserves her happily ever after with NO problems form sisters who live in other countries. I'm sure Winny has a side to her story as well but still violence and even hatred can be kept to yourself and vented out in a journal or diary.
Marty Kreaten stopped by to drop off a few things to help me out. I didn't have much since I came to town in a taxi with 4 kids it didn't make much room for many household items. He gave us some toilet paper, non perishable food items, and a few toddler books. I thanked him for his kindness and wondered if he was married. He was quick to say no that he was divorced but was looking. He then remembered me from an article in the paper about Della's wedding. I was listed as the Maid of Honor and he laughed because he was thinking to himself that he wondered if she was hot and single. I laughed while moving in closer to him and said, "Yes she's hot and single but NOT looking for anything serious."
He pulled me in closer and i got concerned he wasn't taking me seriously. " No really I'm doing the 100 baby challenge and I'm not ready to settle down just yet. Sorry Marty." I said almost as if I felt as if I had lead him to believe that I was interested in being serious with someone, but Marty then explained that he was ok with me not being serious and that he would be happy to be my first Sunset Valley dad in my challenge. I was feeling a bit better about Marty and was second guessing myself still until...
This magnetic energy going thew both our bodies let us to get closer and shared a gentle kiss. He acted as if he knew what I had been threw and what I was thinking. I melted in his arms and lost myself in the moment. The magnetic hold we had on each other was something I had never felt before. I then started to think that I may not ever feel this again. 
As music to my ears filled the little space I was over joyed at the fact I was having a baby with Marty. He was an incredible man and I knew that he was a great choice for my challenge. We  just cuddled and talked about baby names and what he/she would be when it grew up. I was happy to have a dad who wanted to be a dad and wanted to be involved with his child. I've only had a few of those in this challenge and I was happy Marty was one of them I could add to the list.
Before the night was threw I wanted to get both Star and Stacia walking! I met my goal and then we all called it a night. Angel and Aleah where a little nervous about attending school in a new place but I reminded them that they did meat a few kids today and so it should be easier than not knowing anyone!
On their first day of school they almost slept in so they were a little tired when arriving to school but there where so many kids who were eager to meet them that they forgot that they were nervous. I then knew that with a little one on the way I wanted to get the twins talking! 
They where so cute learning to talk and they where pros by the afternoon. I was busy getting things ready for the kids to get home from school and I also knew that the Judge would be reaching a verdict at anytime. I got a call from Mollie's probation officer asking if I knew that she was pregnant. I said " No, I've not been around Mollie since she was a child. That happened on her dad's watch not mine." My heart broke when I heard the news of her having a baby and with her being so young. I had a feeling I knew where this was going. Well she's giving it up for adoption and was wondering if you where willing to take the baby in when its born? WHAT? I was in shock. First I'm a horrible mom and now I'm not good enough for her but I'm good enough for her baby? I felt that this could only end badly and I told her probation officer to call my Lawyer. I wanted to help Mollie out but how much can I take on before I say I QUITE. 
When Aleah got home she was quick to get the girls a bottle. She started to tell me that when she got older she wanted to be a mommy too. I told her that its hard work and you give up allot for your kids. It very different from helping out with siblings. Aleah shrugged her shoulders and said I don't care. I think it would be GREAT! 
While laying the twins down I walked into Aleah's room to find the two of them giving each other good night hugs! I thought that this was to precious to NOT take a picture of. The two are great kids and I love that they are so close and kind to one another. I then got them tucked in bed and found myself tired as well. Just as I went to lay down someone wanted me to know that it loved me.
I rubbed my belly and let my little one know that I was right here and not going ANYWHERE! I laid back down and had dreams about Mollie having her baby. 
I didn't realize I was behind in bills till I saw the 2nd notices. I made sure to pay them and get them in the mail box before the mailman came. I hate being late on bills but I've been so busy and all over the place it slipped my mind I guess.
While making breakfast I noticed I had a little bump! I love being pregnant and being a mom I just hope that I don't raise another child like Mollie.
Being the only boy in the house I found that Angel was very protective of his sisters. He was not wanting a single thing to happen to them and if it did he would take care of it in the way that only a big brother could. 
CRAVINGS!!! Wow every night before bed I would eat ice cream. I knew that it wasn't good for my waist but hey it was sooooo gooood! I enjoyed every bite until... I would get sick. I didn't understand why the morning sickness didn't stop with the first trimester. I called my Doctor and she told me that it happens that way sometimes. I then started to think that I wanted this pregnancy over because I was TIRED of running to the bathroom to get sick ever 5 minuets.
Aleah was having a hard time with school so I offered her to be home schooled but she told me no. She wanted to be with her friends and that it would be harder to study with kids bothering her. She made a valid point and I made it a point to not bother her about the topic.
I got a call from Ashby Starr, she wants to go out some night when we are both not pregnant! I'm a light weight so I have a feeling she will be enjoying getting me out and drinking at the club! I told her that I would love to and couldn't wait to make it happen!

I was ready to explore the beach with the kids WHEN.... Contractions started to come fast and furious. I couldn't wait to see if Marty and I had a girl or boy.
It felt like FOREVER since I had been pregnant and I think I handled the pain pretty well. 
But little Stacia could hardly stand seeing her mom in pain that she closed her eyes and started to sing her A-B-C's it was precious.
After a 3 hour labor, non stop morning sickness, and cravings that where NOT healthy I welcomed
