Chapter 1

    'Wah, wah, wah.' my baby girl cried as she woke me from my sleep. Groaning I got up and went over to her crib. It was twelve in the afternoon and I hadn't slept all night. I had picked up Hope from the babysitters at around eight this morning. When I had gotten home I fed her before putting her to bed.     "Shhh, mommy's got you baby. I'm right here." I cooed as I brushed away some blonde wisps of hair from her face. Hope is only four months old and I can't believe how big she has gotten. Before she used to be as big as a watermelon and now she was twice that size. Heading over to my bed I placed a pillow on the backboard and pulled out on of my breasts for her to feed from. As soon as she latched on her tears stopped and a contend sigh sounded from her. I wish someone had told me being a mom would be this hard.     Hey, my name is Violet summers, I just turned nineteen a few days ago and yes I am a teen mom, but please don't get the wrong idea. I was not a wild child and didn't do anything illegal. I was just a girl who gave into the peer-pressure of her friends. The end result was my beautiful baby girl Hope. Since I am a teen mom I often get nasty looks when I got out. However I've just learned to ignore them. I know I made a mistake, but I wouldn't go back. I am happy with where I am now.     Once Hope was finished eating I quickly burped her before changing her diaper and putter her back in her crib. I was going to take this time she was sleeping to get ready. I had things to do today. Before heading into my bathroom I quickly grabbed a towel and washcloth. I left the door open so that way I could hear is Hope woke up. Stripping out of my night shirt and underwear I looked myself over in the mirror. I will say, being a mom defiantly had it's perks. Thanks to breast milk my breasts were now the size of small melons. The fat I had gained from Hope being inside me was no more and now was replaced with a nice six pack. I mean, I did dance for hours on end at night and the tricks I had to forced me to hold my whole body weight. My long honey brown hair went all the way down to my lower back and after having Hope I haven't had a huge acne breakout yet. Turning on the shower, I waited for the water to heat up before getting in.     I quickly washed up, making sure to shave so that way I didn't have a stubble. I don't take long showers because I can't afford to take long showers. My bills would go through the roof. Getting out I wrapped my towel around me and checked on Hope real quick. Once I knew that she was okay I went back into the bathroom and began brushing my teeth. Once that was done I brushed out my hair and than pulled it up into a messy bun. I opened my small closet doors and pulled out a pair of black leggings and a white t-shirt. I didn't have money to buy super cute clothes. Now that I was done getting ready I put my glasses on and picked up Hope. I had to get some new clothes for her as well as more diapers and wipes. I grabbed her used stroller, that I got for a pretty good price at Goodwill and loaded her in. I also packed her a few bottles of my breast milk, a set of spare clothes, diapers, wipes, a rag for burping and a bikini. I checked to make sure I had everything before heading out.     Hope and I live in the bad part of the City we live in and have to take a bus in order to even get to nearest Walmart. We live in California so it's almost always hot, but that also means things are expensive. We got to the bus station where I pulled the hood of her stroller over her so the sun wasn't in he eyes. About ten minutes later the bus pulled on. Someone was kind enough to help me get on the bus and even allowed me to have the last seat. I thank him and he just nodded his head. Half an hour later and we arrived in a nicer town where I would do all my shopping. I got off the bus and headed straight towards the bank. I needed to deposit my check so I could have money to pay my bills this month.     Once that was done we headed to Walmart. I quickly went to get the things I needed. I got two new outfits for Hope, diapers, wipes, and than food for me. I than checked out before leaving. One bus ride later and we were home. Hope was passed out when we got home and so I brought her into our room and laid her down. I than went away to putting the groceries away. As I was putting them all away my phone began ringing.     "Hello?" I asked when I picked it up.     "Hey Violet, it's me Vance." my boss Vance stated.     "Yes Vance, what's up?" I asked.     "I need you to come in tonight. One of the girls can't make it because she caught a cold and no one else could fill in for her." he explained. I sighed. Today was supposed to be my night off. One of the only two I had. I wanted to spend time with Hope.     "Vance, are you sure no one else can work?" I ask, hopeful that he might have forgotten someone.     "I'm sorry Violet, but I need you to come in tonight." he sighed.     "Alright. Is your sister bust tonight?" I asked.     "You know that she would drop anything in order to watch Hope. Your her best friend Violet." he chuckled.     "Yeah I know, but I feel bad that she has to always watch Hope. I mean, I am her mother." I replied.     "I know sweetness, but you just have to remember that you are doing it for Hope. You are giving that baby everything she needs with what you have. Anyway, I'll see you tonight and April will be over to pick Hope up." he stated before hanging up. Hanging up I set my phone down and put away the rest of the stuff. Once that was done I headed into my room to watch a little TV. Hope soon woke up and I decided to play with her a little. We played in her bouncer, her floor mat, and her little piano that made sounds. It is her favorite.     A few hours later, at around five, I set hope down in her crib with her toys and began getting ready for my shift. I did my makeup and my hair and just as I finished the doorbell to my apartment rang. I quickly headed to the door and looked through the peephole. It was April. Opening the door I greeted her with a smile and a hug.     "Hey girl." I giggled.     "Hey. How's it going?" she asked.     "Good. Come in, come in." I said as I gestured for her to come in. She walked in and set her purse down on the kitchen table.     "Now, where is that beautiful baby?" she asked. I giggled.     "I sometimes think you like my baby more than me." I frowned.     "You don't need to think you need to know. Sorry girl but Hope is just too cute." she giggled. I giggled as well.     "Yeah, I know. Anyway, she's in our room playing with her toys." I smiled as we went into my room.     "Hey baby." April cooed as she went over to Hope. She plucked her out from her crib and smothered her with kisses. Causing Hopes to let out shrills laughs.     "You are just so cute." April cooed. I giggled as I went back to getting ready. I grabbed my stripper bag and made sure I had everything before pulling on my shoes.     "Well, I need to get going. You already know what to do. I don't know when I'll be back and I also just went shopping so there is food for you to eat. Again, thank you so much for watching her." I sighed.     "Girl you thank me every time I watch her. it's starting to get a little annoying. Now get out of here before my brother kills you for being late." she frowned. I nodded my head before giving Hope a big kiss on her cheek.     "Bye baby mommy loves you. Bye April." I called as I walked out of the house. Once I was out I headed off to work.
