**Clara**

To say that my moms are mad doesnt quite cover it. I mean, Im relatively used to my moms being mad, but I dont think Ive ever seen them this mad. Im not scared of them or anything, I just dont think itll be so fun to be grounded for 5 years.

I wait for one of them to talk, but theyre both quiet. Its an uncomfortable silence, and I try to figure out whats going on in their minds. Then suddenly Bette turns and walks away. I look at Tina, and she looks at me before she too turns around and walks downstairs. I just stand there looking after them, feeling more confused than ever.

**Tina**

The first thing that came to mind when Clara told us she had a girl in there was; Not again! I dont think Bette can handle this again. Well, I dont think I can either, it was hard enough the first time. What are we doing wrong? Why do our daughters keep doing this to us, where does everything go wrong? So many questions with no answers. Clara is just standing there in front of us, she isnt trying to explain or cover it. To be honest, that would have been better, cause at least Id know that she was at least a little ashamed. Of course Im mad at her, but mostly Im disappointed. Feels like we went through ***** with Kathy, I dont want to do that with Clara too. But in the end, Kathy turned out okay. So maybe we should take Clara to a psychiatrist before we have to go through the same things we went through with Kathy. Whats right and whats wrong in this situation?

I see Bette walk out of Claras room and I follow her downstairs. I know shes both mad and disappointed, I see it in her eyes.

Bette I say as I put my hand on her shoulder.

She turns to me and Im a little surprise when she slips into my embrace. I cant do this again She whispers in my ear.

I stroke her head and kiss her forehead. Dont worry, its gonna be okay.

I hear Clara on her way downstairs and I pull away from Bette a little. Clara comes up to us and she looks sad.
