Prologue

Now I know what you all are thinking right now. This story is probably Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the three young girls who are best friends. But really, it is nothing like that.

There are no magical pants or any clothing in fact that they share, and actually this story isn't really about them at all, its about their children. However every story starts at the very beginning a very good place to start...oops sorry this isn't The Sound of Music. Anyway on to the story.

Take Kelly Jones, the former Miss Kentucky got pregnant with her first child a boy to be named Howard, Howie for short, when she was 16. Her best friend Laura decided she couldn't deal with the drama of her best friend getting pregnant at such a young age leaving the pregnant Kelly to marry the ass of a father John Dorough. By the age 18, Kelly got pregnant with her second child, Samantha, aka Sam Dorough and it was during this time that she met the two women who would become her best friend.

Grace Green was 17 when she got pregnant with a boy with her high school sweetheart Barry Richardson. Everyone was jealous of them and their love filled relationship. Grace was the quiet sweet southern belle and Barry was a handsome fellow raising their ranch. Their son Kevin was the perfect son taking after his father. At 19 when pregnant with her second child Raychelle, Grace met Kelly Dorough and they met Jackie Littrell.

Jackie Littrell was 19 almost 20 when she was pregnant with her first child. A hopeful for a daughter the name Brianna Thomasina was chosen after the lovely heroine in one of Jackie's romance novels. Jackie was a loudmouthed spunky girl working for a degree for law. Her bastard husband Jake had walked out on her as soon as she had become pregnant and Jackie had vowed to give her child the best life possible without a father.

Each women stressed with their pregnancy's enrolled in moms to be yoga and it was how they met. Three women as different as night and day yet all linked together by the beautiful bond of being mothers.

Jackie was there to curse John when he left a 7 month pregnant Kelly and Grace was there to wipe away the tears.

Jackie was the first to go into labor and to her shock had a baby boy. Oops so much for her Harlem name but Brian Thomas Littrell was an ok name too.

Two weeks later, Grace was in labor as Kelly held her hand while Jackie yelled at her to pop the damned child out before Barry fainted as Barry paced outside holding a small screaming Brian. After 10 hours of labor, Raychelle Lynn Richardson was born to which her 2 year old perfect child wrinkled his nose and said that the new baby was about as exciting as a poopy dippie.

Eight days later it was Kelly's turn or so she thought. Her little brat had just started a false labor but on day 12 it was the real thing. Putting her mother through almost 24 hours of hell, Samantha Anne Dorough came screaming into the world. Almost three year old Howie looked at his new sister and wondered how a small thing could be so loud.

Eventually the three women got houses near each other and raised their families together. Brian, Ray and Sam became glued to each other and this ladies and gentlemen is where the real story begins.
