It was midnight when Grace had a dream... But not just any dream it was about her father.

"Dad!" Grace greeted, as she ran towards the man standing in the doorway.

"Hey there, Sweetheart," William replied, bringing his daughter in for a loving hug.

"I missed you!" Grace said.

"I know. I missed you too sweetheart. It was only a three day business trip though," The man responded.

"It felt like forever to us though,"

William looked up to see his wife Jewel coming over to him.

Jewel and William embraced each other in a hug and then kissed each other on the lips.

After that Grace and with her mother and father all joined in a 'group family hug' as they called it.

"I love you," All three said in unison.

Yes the love of this family was strong and pure.

The goth awoke with a start. She felt a lump forming in her throat. Tears began to spill down her cheeks.

She remembered that evening when her father had gotten home from his very first business trip so well.

It had taken place in her freshman year. Just five days before Christmas.

"I-I miss you Dad..." Grace mumbled under her breath. Then it happened. Grace broke into a sobbing fit. Her body began to shake. Soon she felt so sick that she had to call for her Aunt Sally.

The woman ran into the room and saw her niece's face all red as she was sweating a little bit.

"Grace, Sweetie what's wrong?"

"I-I gotta throw up! Bucket! Bucket!" Grace cried.

"Hold on, Dear!"

Luckily Grace's Aunt Sally was able to get the bucket and a towel for her before she began to throw up.

"Shhh... Shhh. It'll be alright," Aunt Sally whispered into Grace's ear, as tears streamed down her face, while she continued to throw up into the bucket.

After she was able to stop she cleaned her face with the towel.

"S-Stay with me tonight, Aunty?" Grace questioned, looking up at the woman with pleading, depressed, and scared looking eyes.

"Of course, Hun," -


In the morning, Zoe came for Grace but was very worried when she heard that Grace wasn't gonna be at school that day, due to getting real sick in the middle of the night.

Zoe walked to school alone and felt so worried for her girlfriend.

"Oh, Grace... My sweet, Grace. You don't deserve to be going through this. You should be having the happiest life ever," Zoe thought, while heading into the school.

Meanwhile back at Grace's house the goth girl spent the day resting in her room. Her family checked in on her, brought her food that she could hold down, and stayed with her for a while. Grace watched some TV with two of her cousins. She couldn't deny that the cartoon Tom and Jerry brought a smile to her face.

When school was done for for the day, Zoe went to see how Grace was doing. Since she wasn't throwing up anymore, the family let the girl in to spend the evening with Grace.

Zoe and Grace had Grace's room to themselves. They laid together cuddled up. Grace held Zoe to her chest. After talking for a while the pair fell asleep in each other's arms.

At dinner time Grace's mother Jewel opened the door and smiled at the sight of the girls.

"Time for dinner, Sweeties," Jewel said softly, as she walked to the bed.

"O-Okay, Mom," Grace replied, while yawning.

Zoe's eyes opened slowly and she then rolled out of Grace's embrace and sat up.

"Dinner will be great, thanks," Zoe added in, with a smile.

Then Grace and Zoe headed out of Grace's room for dinner. Grace wasn't feeling too well still, but it would get better... Right?
