Prologue

My life was fairly simple.
I had a brother, a step sister, two mothers, and a father.
We lived in a simple two story house, at the end of our street. Not too far from the school.
I'm only 15 years old. Just started my sophomore year in high school.
I don't look like much. Straight brown hair like my biological mother's, crystal blue eyes like my fathers, not very tall, and I maintain a healthy-ish weight.
I'm a jogger, which I try to do in the morning,  but end up jogging on my way home.
My mothers have been married for 7 years now. They had their anniversary last Saturday after my track meet, so we ended up having this huge party for our win, and their marriage.
My bio moms wife, Crystal, is beautiful.  Her name really suits her. She has clear deep blue eyes, dark ocean blue, and vibrant yet somehow dark red hair. Her skin is so light it almost looks fragile. You'd never be able to tell in a first glance that she was a karate instructor. Mom calls Cryssie her, "porcelain warrior. " It's adorable really.
My step sister and I share a room. She's what high schoolers call, "emo" and "anti social." She dyes her hair in beautiful and exotic colors every week or so. Right now, her hair is ice blue at the roots, which fade to a lilac color, then fades to black. She had braided it so theres a small braid tracing down from the middle of her foreheads hairline , to the point of her neck on the back of her head, flipping the rest over to the other side, which manages to cover her eye as well. She wears heavy make-up that colors are always the same as her hair, and she also had her lips pierced.  Apparently,  they're called "snakebites." Cryssie was horrified when Jayden came home after getting them.
Anthony is my brother. My little,  yet somehow older, brother. He and I are only 2 years apart, but hes skipped 3 grades,  so now hes a year ahead of me. He's always been into science and math. I often find myself going to him for help. Most teenage girls hate their siblings, but I'm actually really close to Anthony. He and I always go to each other with anything that happens.  He's the first person to find out when I tried smoking, and when I had my first boyfriend,  and first breakup. I was the first to know when he won the science fair, and when he and his friend Julian got picked to introduce the President at our school. Cryssie and mom were so proud,  and brought the family tablet with Skype so dad could see it from Japan.
Feilx, my father, works for a movie crew. He's one of the best film conductors in our state. He's worked on big hit movie productions. Because of this,  he's always leaving to different parts of the world. He makes sure to bring everyone back a souvenir. The mothers let him live in the basement, since mom and dads marriage ended so smoothly. No harsh feelings between them. In fact, they're still the best of friends.  But the main reason is because he's barely ever home, so mom and Cryssie get all the alone time they want.
My bio mother, Angel, is an amazing women. She works two jobs, one in the day, and one at home. Between the hours of 6 am, and 11am, she's a waitress at the family pub down the street. She's the only employee that isn't family, but that's because shes such a hard worker. When she's home, she runs an online pottery store. Jayden offered to give up her room so mom could turn it into an art studio. I offered to share my room with Jayden so she didn't have to sleep on the couch. Her buisness took off sensationally, which pays our bills, and her tips pay for presents.
I love my family.  We're all close, and happy.
That's why I can't tell them that I'm pregnant.
Or how I got this way.
