Max went into May's part of the room with her, sitting on the end of her bed.
"So she's going to have another baby. What do you think's going to happen?"

"Iunno..." The girl replied, looking over from her toys. "Maybe she'll turn on her like she did to us when Evelyn was born?"

"Maybe." He crossed his legs, leaning back so his head touched the wall. "Hm... I'll be... well, assuming... I should be almost eighteen by then, at least..."

"What're you gonna do then, Max?" The girl squeaked.

"Leave." He said simply.

"...Why?" May asked, her child-like personality having her head tilt slightly.

"Because it's horrible here. You and I both know that." He got off the bed, coming down beside May. "We'll run away together. You and me. Whaddya say?"

"But I like living her..." May replied, looking down.

He was silent for a few moments, crawling up closer.
"Why?" He finally said.

"Because I remember when Mommy was nice to us, an' all of the good memories with her..." She said sheepishly.

He gave her a sad smile.
"But will that happen again?" He asked. "Even with the new baby? What's to say she doesn't become even worse? And when I leave, I can't leave you here. I can't let you bear the brunt of everything."

"'cause I know she loves us, even if she's mean." May replied, looking at her brother with her big, soft blue eyes.

He gave a soft, sort of wistful sigh, falling down from his elbows and rolling over.
"You're killing me, Love."

May rolled over onto her back too. "And you're killing ME." She giggled.

He shared her laugh then.
"Maybe I won't go. If you won't."

It was a few weeks later, almost into May. It was another normal day, it seemed. Other than the fact that their mother wasn't awake yet...
Evelyn was downstairs, a large stuffed dinosaur in her arms, held tightly, just sitting. Quietly. Too quietly.

May was downstairs at the time, in the living room, as she watched an episode of her pony show...

Max, on the other hand, wasn't feeling so well, and was thus upstairs in bed, trying to rest.
Evelyn wasn't paying much attention to the show. In fact, she was facing a completely different way.

"Aren't you gonna watch this show with me?" May asked her sister.

"No, I'm waiting for Mommy." She replied simply.

"...but I thought you liked watching this show with me?" The other girl asked, unaware of what happened in the woman's bedroom.
