Walks on Saint Valentine grounds wasn't that simple for Ivory. Neither was going to certain places, including her bedroom there. It was quieter, but she still had to get everyone to sleep before they woke up whoever was in the room next to her's. Ivory had four children in total, two twenty month old twin sons, one sixteen month old daughter and one one month old daughter. Zachary was a rebel, Alejandro was a follower, Renee was a wild child with Taylor as the quiet one.
Recently, Ivory, the girl in all white- white tank top, sneakers and shorts who hardly ever looked like a mother, had visited her aunt. But what her aunt gave her was a big help. It was an orange and gray double stroller. Renee was sitting on the right seat and Taylor, who was sleeping though drooling on the black and white dress which she wore, on the left. It was hard to dress Renee, but Ivory always got her in some sort of dress, which today, was a simple blue dress and some small sneakers that fit. Ivory never put shoes on Taylor yet though, she thought she was to young or she'd kick them right off. Ivory's two sons though, were walking about ten feet in front of her. They were blonde's like her, and she had dressed them in a long sleeve, stripped blue shirts, jeans and sneakers. It was easier to dress them the same in her opinion. Even if it was easy to tell them apart, Zachary was smaller then his twin, had beautiful blue eyes and his hair never stayed straight. It was spiked or scruffy almost all the time. Alejandro had gray eyes, was taller then Zachary by a half inch and his hair always remained straight and smooth naturally. Another differences was that Alejandro was left handed, Zachary was right handed.
Ivory, as she pushed the stroller, made sure she kept watch of her two twins. Since last time, they had ran off to go exploring and it took her an hour to find them. Which is why that now, whenever they strayed from her sight, she'd call to them to make sure they still heard Ivory and waited for her to catch up. Ivory knew that as soon as they turned three, she'd get them a backpack with those leashes. Not as punishment. But it'd be easier to keep track of them that way.
The seventeen year old did know her children's father, but he was an asshole and a jerk that had only used her a lot of times. That was why he wasn't here with her, and that's why all Ivory's connections with him, such as phone, email or anything like that had been severed. But she wasn't alone, she had her aunt and she was here at Saint Valentines with other girls who sort of understood her. Though the struggle to be a single mother would continue.
Ivory, so far, didn't know anyone and had no friends. So she didn't really pay attention to any of the girls or guys that walked passed or talked in little groups of two or more here and there. A backpack remained on her back though, seeing that it carried juice packs for the twins, a bottle of juice for Renee and a bottle of 1% milk for Taylor. But the bottles were placed in the holders on the side so they wouldn't spill. She had also placed two bags of cereal and a few bags of broccoli in the backpack too. The cereal was for Renee, the vegetables for the twins. The last thing someone would find in the backpack she carried was toys, whether it was a simple teething toy for Taylor though it'd be another month or two till she got her baby teeth, stuffed animals for the twins or Renee, or some other toy the twins made her take with by putting the toy in the bag themselves.

Cat hated staying at home, no matter what the day was like she most definitely had to get out and explore. So, she decided taking a walk through the park would be nice and peaceful. She loved getting to see all the kids running around and playing. It was adorable. Today was pretty nice out and Cat was loving every second of it. The air felt great, and she felt great. For her it was a day to meet new people and that's just what she was set out to do. As she walked through the park many old people walked passed her and smiled and said hello like usual and she did the same to be kind and respectful. As she kept on she noticed a blonde girl with a double stroller and two kids running and playing around her. It was cute, and brought a bright smile all across her face. The girl looked young but she knew about St.Valentine and all the moms there. Deciding to start conversation she walked up to the girl with a confident strut and smile. "I couldn't help but notice how cute you looked with these four. I'm Cat." She put out her hand waiting for a shake and a response.

As she kept walking on that one path on Saint Valentines ground, Ivory had noticed one citizen just roaming around and talking to other people. But, she didn't much care for citizens on the grounds, but she also knew that other girls here had to have someone besides themselves or the father to their child or children.
As Zachary and Alejandro retreated closer to Ivory, they just walked on either side of the stroller before she sat down on one of the near-by benches. It was a nice day, with the warm spring-like breeze and the sun, but gray storm clouds lingered which told the mother it wouldn't be long till it rained. That was the funny thing about March weather.
Helping Zachary up on the bench, Ivory set him on her right and Alejandro on the left of her. Thankfully, Taylor was still sleeping and Renee had short fell asleep too. Good weather means peaceful, relaxation time. But not all the time that meant that, since sometimes, with the good weather, Renee wouldn't want to go in the stroller, Taylor wouldn't stop crying then the twins would wander off again and might get lost, again.
Noticing the girl she had seen earlier, Ivory watched her as she made her way over to herself and her children. As the girl spoke with an outstretched hand, Ivory listened carefully. A bit angered, and a bit glad about what she- now known as Kat had said.
"Cute. I look cute with them. But only if Cat knew all iv'e gone through and how I ended up with them, it wouldn't be 'cute' anymore. Even though the compliment did involve my children" She thought a bit bitterly, but watched her words.
Shaking the girls hand, she then put her hands back on her lap. "I'm Ivory, and I take it your visiting someone or are you one of the girls in the first trimester? It's rare for citizens just to roam Saint Valentine's grounds" She spoke, carefully and clearly but with that nice sweet touch to her voice.
With that, Ivory knew she had to introduce her children which she did. "The two boy are twins, Zachary Timothy and Alejandro Alexander. My third oldest, and my first daughter is Renee Maya and my last child and second daughter is Taylor Juliet' If Cat said anything about 'Romeo and Juliet' Ivory swore she might just lose all her bottled emotions but she'd have to control herself. Since the last thing Ivory wanted was to explain her past and get sympathized or pitied for it. Since her story was far from anything called 'love'. Though that's how she had felt about her children's father till Ivory found out she only used her for sex. She had never been so angry before after she had found that out.

Cat listened as Ivory spoke. It was true that it was strange for her to be on the grounds, but she loved watching all the young moms with their children. She knew someday it would be her time to have one of her own but until then she could only watch others to help prepare herself for when that day came.
She wasn't pregnant, or even in a relationship that could lead to that. She was just a girl. A girl with many wants, which she couldn't have. Living with her aunt meant rules. Her Aunt only kept her because her parents said don't send her back. After she ran away, her relationship with her parents died, and she somewhat lost herself. Everyday was haze, even though she tried to make everyday a good day.
Ivory introduced her children, all four had sweet names in Cat's mind. " I like your choice of names, they go together. And, no I am just roaming on the grounds. No kids or even a pregnancy. It's difficult I suppose." She tried to keep a smile but she kind of looked up and started to space off in a trail of thought.
Was it bad for her to be on the grounds? Could she get in trouble? She didn't think so. She did it almost everyday. Walks here were nice and calm, and she could meet all the moms and dads which was one thing she enjoyed doing. Kids were her future. She has this image of doing it all the right way. Unlike her parents, even though they tried to keep that "perfect" family image, they were awful underneath. [/center][/u]
