Horton Hears a Kid

Evonee Horton, Junior, is a teen mom.

Her daughter is Serenity Lenee'a Horton. "Serenity because I like peace signs and that's what it means," Said Horton. "The middle name is named after my sister... last name is mine.

When asked how life was with a baby she said, "Hard. But it's not hard and it's not easy." She went on to say, "I have somebody that can depend on me, it makes me focus."

She was born June 4, 2010 on a friday at 7:23 P.M. "Contractions were horrible. They're like cramps times a million."

"She doesn't have a first word yet. I really am excited... My mom's always like 'Let's hear your voice'."

The joys of a baby are sweet.

But she wasn't planning on it- obviously. "I was going to wait until later... Much later." There are indeed consequences that come with this. "When I get home I can't focus."

But she loves her as all moms do. "I would die for her."

But still, her whole life has changed. "Chasing. Diaper. Milk. Cause she's crawling now."

When asked if she had help, "I don't need no help. I don't really want her around a lot of boys."

In fact she said, "I would rather she be gay than f----ed." She says she doesn't want her baby to make the same mistakes she did and wants her to be better than she was.

"I am very thankful to wake up every morning and to the most amazing gift given to me."
