Leah[]
Leah thought moving in with Corey would make things easier but living an hour away from family and friends, and with Corey working all the time Leah is left minding the girls 24/7 and is exhausted and lonely.

Leah hasn't seen her Mom and Step-dad in a while so she invites them over for a take-out. Whilst eating their food, they discuss Leah going to school and that both Leah and Corey will need to be doing their fair bit so Leah can study at School which means both doing night feeds and making sure the girls are taken care of, but her Mom suggests whilst Corey is working Leah should have to do the majority of the work, but Leah feels no one understands that she doesn't have really anytime for her to do anything else.
Leah meets up with her friend Regan who's in town visiting her family and they discuss Leah going school her friend Regan says she can't see herself being able to look after two children and go school at the same time, Leah thinks it's possible but Corey would need to help. Leah leaves Corey with the twins for the day, and she is anxious to see how Corey copes but hopes he realizes just what she has to deal with on a daily basis. Whilst Leah is out Corey rings her numerous times asking what to do, then what time was she going to be home as he didn't know what to do. With Corey struggling to look after the girls for a few hours, Leah is worried about how she can go to School and trust Corey to be able to manage looking after the girls alone but when Leah talks about it to Corey they can't discuss it without disagreeing and ending the conversation.
