Kaylin left that night with only her clothes. The rest of her stuff were for Catherine, and for her son. She cried all the way out to the hotel she had booked to spend the night. Now what? She was 3 months pregnant and had nothing, no job, no partner, no house. How did life get so bad all of the sudden?

It's over.

But Kaylin was not the only one who was upset. Catherine cried five days in a row, she didn’t even go to work. All day, she held Dennis and cried, for her lost love, for Remington, for everything.

Kaylin couldn’t stay in the hotel. She had to have a house for her child to be born in. She went to see a few houses she saw in the morning paper, but hardly anyone wanted to rent to a single pregnant woman with no job. The house she did manage to find, after two moths searching, was small and not in a very good neighbourhood. The neighbours had heard about Kaylin and her story, as everyone in Rock Valley knew about the Legacies and even tough they had often already done worst things, Kaylin was the talk of the town.
As she arrived in her cab, everyone stood there, silently watching her, as to see what kind of woman could do such a thing.

The kitchen was small, rather worn down, but it would do for just her and a small child.

The kitchen

The couch in the living room was old and stained, the bathroom tiny and the master bedroom only big enough to hold a bed and a wardrobe, but she had a spare room for her baby and she had a roof over her head. Besides, she couldn’t afford anything bigger.

Kaylin decided to let her died blonde grow out, hairdye was not healthy for the baby anyway and maybe like this, people were less likely to associate her with the woman who had loved and cheated upon a Legacy.
She got used to being alone, eating alone, sleeping alone, living alone. She hardly went out anymore.

Eating alone

Moths flew by and before she knew it, Kaylin was 8 months along. She was big as a house and feared the moment her labour would begin. She had tought this child to be born in happiness, surounded by her wife and their children, not alone in some filthy house in the poorest neighbourhood in town.

Kaylin getting really big!
