In the middle of the night, Mary Anne didn't sleep much thinking of why Granny would want to ruin the relationship between Mary Anne and Sharon. I mean, Mary Anne is very upset after she learned about the cause. I'm glad Kristy mentioned this. I heard her got up and going downstairs. So, I got up and went to her.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I couldn't sleep. I couldn't believe Granny wants to ruin our relationship. I don't know why she would plan that way," said Mary Anne.

"I know," I agreed.

"I just miss not having the special relationship with Sharon. She's like a mother to me," said Mary Anne who was trying to hold back tears.

"I know you do," I said comforting her.

Mr. Spier must have heard us because he came out from the guestroom that was downstairs and said, "Is everything okay, honey?"

"She's still upset about what Granny is trying to do," I said.

"I bet," said Mr. Spier. "Want to be with me?"

"Okay," said Mary Anne as she wipes her tears.

"It'll be alright," said Mr. Spier.

The next day, we took our noon flight to go back home. We took a taxi home. After they dropped me off, they went to go home so they can have a short meeting with Sharon. At home, Mary Anne and her father went to Sharon.

"Sharon, we need to talk," said Mr. Spier.

"For what now?" asked Sharon.

"Just sit," said Mary Anne.

"Um, okay," said Sharon as they all sat down.

"I found out what was the cause that you and I stopped getting along lately and caused the relationship to be torn apart," said Mary Anne.

"What was it?" asked Sharon.

"Your mother," replied Mr. Spier.

"What about her?" asked Sharon.

"Her plan was to ruin our relationship. She also said my dad isn't a good husband," said Mary Anne.

"What? Is this a joke?" asked Sharon.

"No, it's not," said Mr. Spier.

"How did you found out?" asked Sharon.

"I heard about it," said Meredith who overheard them. "That's not right at all."

"Well, then we should go talk to my mother," said Sharon.

"With your father involved if you don't mind. He won't be too happy with her," said Mr. Spier.

All three of them left to Granny and Pop-Pop's and went inside.

"Mom, we need to talk," said Sharon.

"Like what?" asked Granny.

"What happened?" asked Pop-Pop.

"Well, you said that your plan to torn our family apart and Richard is a terrible husband," said Sharon.

"And... because of you, Sharon and I stopped getting along," added Mary Anne.

"Is that true?" asked Pop-Pop.

"Well, I... I wanted it the best for you," said Granny.

"By trying to break us up?" asked Sharon.

"Sharon is happy with me," replied Mr. Spier. "If she wants to stay with me, that's her choice, not yours. Adults can make their own decisions."

"And, I love Richard since high school. You have no right to separate us," Sharon continued.

"Or trying to ruin the family. Dawn and I enjoy being sisters," added Mary Anne.

"And, you ended up having Dawn taking her mother's side. That's not right for any of us," said Mr. Spier.

"Nobody should separate anyone," said Pop-Pop sternly to Granny. "Let Sharon be happy. Don't you do it again."

"And, what you can do is apologize," said Sharon.

"I agree with you she needs to do that," said Pop-Pop.

"Me, too," said Mr. Spier.

"Same here," said Mary Anne. "I thought Sharon had bad days at work when our relationship fell apart. I'm glad I knew why now. Meredith knew about it."

"And, you wonder why Mary Anne can't stand you at all these days. She is trying to be nice to you," said Mr. Spier.

Granny did not apologize-even before they left-, so they gave her a week to say her sorry or Pop-Pop will file for a divorce. That was a good idea to warn her like that. That's what Mary Anne told me when she called me about the family meeting.

"I hope she apologizes if she doesn't want a divorce," I said.

"Me, too," said Mary Anne.

It took Granny all night until she finally called to apologize to them.

"Just don't do it again," said Sharon.

Mary Anne is glad that her family is back to normal-especially with Sharon.

"I did miss not having the relationship with you at all when we stopped getting along," said Mary Anne.

"I was thinking of that, too," said Sharon. "I would like to adopt you one day."

"As in to be your real daughter?" asked Mary Anne as Sharon nodded. "Wow. I would like that very much."

Mary Anne was very happy and hugged Sharon.
