Chapter Thirty-Seven
Grace
I ran into Rebecca's room to get some clothes. I felt really bad that she shifted in the warm weather. I ran to her closet and found all dresses and skirts. I found this really cute pink dress with sparkles on it. Then Sam yelled to me, to hurry up so I grabbed everything a girl might need, and I put them in a bag. I gave the bag to Sam and kissed him good-bye again. I told him to be safe and he promised he would. I knew he would have a fight with Cole about something, but I had other things on my mind at the moment.
I walked into the kitchen and sat with Lori and Isabel who were drinking coffee. I got a cup for myself and sat next to them.
"So Grace, you were pregnant." Lori said looking into her half full mug.
"Yes, I was." I said.
"Why didn't you tell us, like while you were pregnant?"
"I knew, so did Cole and Rebecca." Isabel said feeling the heat of the mug on her fingertips.
"I was scared; I had never been pregnant before, I didn't know how to act. I'm so sorry, but Rebecca found out herself." I said trying to figure out how I could tell Rebecca I had a miscarriage.
"I guess I understand, Paul and I have talked about it, but I'm just worried about this house having too many people." Lori shrugged.
"I heard that the bad live long."
"He's past bad," Isabel said and we all laughed. I admired Isabel for a moment. She looked very fit for being six month pregnant.
"I need to tell you both something." I whispered I didn't want anyone else to know.
"Fire away," Isabel said.
"Well on my birthday I woke up and was talking to Sam, well Sam woke me up on my birthday, but that doesn't matter, anyways," I said I didn't want to tell them I wanted to spend time with Sam. "I looked at my hand and I saw this." I put my hand on the table and Isabel and Lori's jaws dropped. They were amazed at it.
"Look at that rock." Lori gasped.
"You have a guy that loves you," Isabel said.
"Want to know the craziest thing, you know that guy." Lori said.
"I need a favor from you," I said, "Sam and I want to go away, just the two of us, for a few days, but we need a vacation that is inexpensive."
"Well let's just grab the computer and look," Lori said as she took her laptop from its case. "Alright, let's see here, how about we look up inexpensive vacation for couples." She punched in. We looked at a few different sites but nothing telling us how much the trip would be. Then we went to a site and it had all kinds of places on it that Sam and I could go to. We found a trip for two hundred dollars to Mexico. Then we found a hotel in Mexico where it is seventy dollars per person.
"That's awesome, one hundred forty dollars for you whole two night trip. Grace you have it made." Isabel said trying to make me feel better than I was already today. I nodded my head while Lori clicked pay.
"Lori I told you we would pay it." I said.
"No you are going on a romantic vacation with Sam, and Paul and I are paying." Lori said.
"Did you suck Paul into paying for this?"
"I don't think he will mind, it is for you and Sam, and Sam is like a son to him." She was right, Beck was Sam's dad but now that he died, Paul took that place in Sam's heart. I don't think that's a bad thing, but he doesn't get as close as he did with Beck.
