This story starts off during episode 2x11 "Home" during sauce night... Credit for the first couple of chapters of this story goes to the makers of Graceland with some adjustments made by me :)

Briggs POV:

"Voi-la" Charlie placed the sauce upon the table and uncovered it, a brief round of cheers and claps went around the table.

"I guess this wouldn't be sauce night without a brief toast, i know everybody's hungry so ill keep it short- to Graceland" Everyone looked towards me and raised their glasses to toast "to home" the glasses clinked around the table.

"Now let's eat, mange" No one hesitated as Charlie started passing around the pasta. ping. ping. Charlie reached over and grabbed Johnnys phone throwing it away from the table

"yo" johnny protested,

"no phones on sauce night" Charlie continued serving herself

"that was work" Johnny countered laughing.

"i don't care! sauce time" charlie scolding him.

"Hey Johnny, was that Lucia or Carlito?" Mike asked.

"um Carlito" Johnny answered.

Mike looked at him while taking another bite "that must have been crazy, when Sid called and tipped off Carlitos little side project"

"actually the timing couldn't have been more perfect" Johnny said as he spooned more pasta onto his plate.

"How so?" Mike questioned

Charlie scolded them again "No work talk on sauce night".

"No, mike wants to talk work" Paige insisted "lets talk work".

"Ya know what, your right Chuck, we get so wrapped up in work sometimes, so whats going on? anyone got anything going on in their lives they want to share?" Mike looked around the table. Me and Charlie exchanged glances in a moment of silence. now was not the time to tell them. We ate in silence for a moment when Jakes spoke up-

"anyone else having trouble with the washer?"

"yeah you just need to turn the little knob to the left till it clicks" Paige explained. The table fell silent again.

"well, in lieu of that stimulating conversation" Mike turned to Charlie, "i guess work it is- sorry Chuck". He then turned back to Johnny, "Johnny why was the timing so perfect?" Johnny finished chewing before answering

"well cuz Briggs had just called me, and i told him that Carlos wasn't gonna bind to the plan i gave him unless we found a way to discredit Carlito, so it was just perfect" i took a deep breath as Johnny finished and Mikes gaze landed on me.

"Whats the matter Briggs? you seem a little out of it."

"I havent slept" i took another bite.

"Johnny, when i catch Sid and ask him who tipped him off to all of this, what do you think he's gonna say?" Mike smirked. I answered before Johnny could

"i think Sid would say pretty much anything to shave a single day off of a life sentence- but you know whats funny Mike i get the impression you would not be happy unless Sid spends the rest of his days in the ground. why don't you share with everybody what you told me last night Mike, i can quote ya"

"Thats ENOUGH Briggs" Charlie turned to me, "your tired, your not thinking clearly" this time she was scolding me. i dropped my fork and turning towards her.

"what, come on baby" i said smirking at her.

"No one wants to hear it" she said in a stern voice.

"Okay" i said putting my hands up "I'm sorry, i apologize, i thought this was what you wanted, ya know, everybody to come together, to share stuff, and be honest about shit" i said taking long chug of my drink.

"your not honest with anybody" i dropped my fork again turning to her.

"okay, well why don't you show me what that looks like, BABE. i have an idea why don't we start talking about Kelly Badillo" i said looking at the rest of the table. The table erupted.

"Did you just say Kelly Badillo?" Mike interrupted

"Do you want to tell everybody what you did for her?" I knew the second i brought it up i took things too far.

"You piece of shit" Charlie was seething on the inside as she flung her napkin onto the table. I didn't think there was anything that could make this moment worse, until i heard Jakes response.

"Easy mama bear" Jakes tried to calm Charlie down. My eyes widened, no one else at the table had heard him, i hoped... Paige and Mike were busy in an argument of their own now, Johnny just watched on at everybody fighting.

"What did you call me?!" She yelled at Jakes, turning her gaze to me. The yelling had taken over the table i turned my attention back to Mike ignoring Charlie for the moment, "tell me this, how far will you go to get Sid?"

Mike stood up," i think the better question is what wouldn't i do to catch you".

i stood up motioning to him "come and get it young man".

Charlie stool up grabbing the bowl of sauce in the middle of the table "how bout that" she yelled as she dumped the sauce, Johnny watched in horror "look at that, alright!" she had enough. Everyone looked down in shame. I looked at Charlie, she was fuming, trying to to real in her emotions.

Johnny lifted his gaze "I'm in love with Lucia-" he started

"Johnny-" Jakes scolded. I smirked, could this dinner get any better.

"Ive been sleeping with her this whole time" Johnny finished.

Charlie turned on her heal giving me a death stare and started for the stairs. I started after her making it to the bottom of the stairs only to hear her bedroom door slam. I sighed. Her door. Guess she wasn't staying in my room tonight. Everyone stormed by me heading up the stairs, Johnny gave me a small smile and patted my shoulder before heading up to his room. I made my way back into the dining room. Sauce was everywhere. I made my way over to the table and started to clean up. It was going to be a long night.

Charlie POV:

It was was going to be a long night. I was tossing and turning for the better part of the last half hour and now i had been staring at a spot on the ceiling for the last 20 minutes. i couldn't sleep. After the nights events i was in a terrible mood, i already had enough on my mind with the baby, and now everyone elses problems were on my shoulders too, and to top it off i was starving. I tip toed down the stairs as quietly as i could making my way over to the fridge. i heard the stairs creak behind me.

"I thought i heard you get up" Paul rubbed the sleep from his eyes and he followed me into the kitchen. I perched myself on a stool at the island.

"Couldn't sleep?" he questioned. i nodded before i admitted "and I'm hungry". He made his way over to the fridge and brought out a pre-made plate.

"I figured you would be, i made you a plate" he popped it in the microwave. He turned away from the microwave and leaned against the counter facing me. I looked up and met his eyes.

"I'm sorry that sauce night didn't end up the way you wanted", he started, i snorted, "okay I'm sorry that i played a part in ruining sauce night" he tried again.

"I'm not mad about that..." i trailed off playing with my fingers.

"and-" he continued '-i'm sorry that i told Jakes about the baby" he sighed.

"i thought we agreed not to tell anybody yet" i chastised. It was still early. Hell we had only found out a couple days ago, although i had a feeling i knew what was going on for over a week. I was constantly tired, my boobs were sore, and the slightest whiff of something could send me running to the toilet. I knew without taking the test. I knew what it was going to say. I had went and stayed at Ambers place for a few days, i couldn't face Paul yet, i didn't know what to say. I didn't have to tell him, when i got back i took a test, i was in the shower when he came in and wrapped his arms around me, i knew, we both knew, i was pregnant. That night he confronted me in the kitchen, i was cutting up peppers for the sauce.

"Sauce huh"

"Been too long, do you want to hear the story" i asked looking up. He walked further into the kitchen, "i know the story". I smirked.

"Jakes called, him and Johnny are coming home, so are Mike and Paige, so i just thought-" i chocked back tears "ya know Graceland used to be a safe haven ya know? for all of us, i don't know when but we lost that".

He brushed the hair out of my face, "well you know, it doesn't have to stay like that" "ya" i responded. He moved behind me "Charlie, baby, turn around, look at me" i turned facing him "listen, um, i want you to know that if it was going to be anybody it would be you." he paused "I really want to keep it" I looked down before looking back up at him. "Me too".

We had agreed that night to have the baby, but we also knew that it was really early, i was probably 5 weeks in, we agreed not to tell anybody yet.

"I know, i know, I'm sorry" Paul walked over to me running his hands up and down my arms, "i told him before we even talked that night, i needed someone to talk to about everything" he kissed the top of my head. i smiled up at him as the microwave went off.

"babys hungry" i smiled as i shoved him towards the microwave. He laughed. I just took my first bite when i voice spoke up behind me,

"so is there leftovers for everybody" Johnny asked. He took a seat next to me as i moved my plate over to share with him, Paul handed him an extra fork. He waited till i took my next bite, then spoke up,

"so whens the baby coming" he beamed. Our eyes widened. "Didn't think i heard Jakes earlier did ya" he quipped stuffing his mouth with another fork full. He finished chewing, stood up and rubbed my shoulders.

"Don't worry mama bear, no one else heard" he kissed the back of my head and turned towards the stairs

"Johnny, Don't tell any-" Paul started,

"Don't worry your secret is safe with me" he assured us before he ascended the stairs.

"Comon" paul reached for my hand and pulled me towards the stairs "lets go to bed".

I am mostly following the story line of the end of season 2. Some things are switched up a bit: Charlie and the Graceland family are all working on the Amber job together from the beginning- the bank robbery will take place in a few weeks.
