You could hear the screams of labor pains by the young fifteen-year old girl, kicked out of her parent’s upper Manhattan brownstone nine months earlier. She was very afraid, lonely and the pain was extreme. As the young girl continued to push and scream, push and scream, the nurse kept encouraging her that everything was just fine and she was doing very well. After twenty minutes of frantic pushing, the young girl heard a faint little sound through her screams. It was the sound of a newborn baby, her new born baby. The natural urge to push came over her yet again and two minutes later, the same identical sound was heard again. The young girl who was known as Vy, had twins. Almost instantaneously, after the second baby came out, the extreme pangs subsided. Vy fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion. Vy awoke to hear the nurses talking just outside her hospital room. Two healthy, beautiful, baby boys. I wish there was something I could do to help her one of the nurses sighed. Yeah girl, I wish there was something I could do too. But neither of us is in a position to help her. the other nurse replied. Vy was up now and asked the nurses a lot of questions. Did I have twins? Were my twins healthy? How big were my baby boys? One of the nurses told her the doctor would be in shortly, to ensure that she was progressing fine and discuss her possible discharge. Vy lays in her hospital bed questions swirling in her mind. What will I do? Where will I go? Is anyone here to help me???" She weeps and falls back into a deep sleep.

This affair is huge for Bryan and his parents. Central Park stretched from 59th to 70th street has numerous banners reading, Master Bryan Mitchell Forde as the esteemed guest of honor. Bryan has been given everything he has ever wanted since the day he was born. His parents lavished him with all his hearts desires. Bryan lives on 35 acres of land with his own stable of horses as well as stable mates to take care of his horses. Bryan reaps all the benefits of his father’s fortune. For instance, on his third birthday, Bryan received an entire amusement park with rides, games, prizes, and the whole nine. Over a thousand guests were present at his third birthday party! His best friend Joe (Joe is around average height 5 ft 4inches, but still chubby for age thirteen) reaches over and touches him on the shoulder and asks, What do you want this year? Bryan replies I really want my own space, separate from the main house with my own maid and my own servants. Joe smiles at him and says "If you told your
