Lily got home from the station and looked around the kitchen. It was a mess, like normal. The phone ran. She went to go answer it. "Hi?"
"We still on for tonight?" Judy asked.
"Tonight?"
"Remember, Sam and I are coming over for dinner to see the baby?"
"Right I forgot. Jake and the baby are coming too." She said starting to remember.
"Ok Lily what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Our house is just a mess and with the whole thing with Karen things are just a little tense around here."
"You know we don't have to come…"
"No, it's ok. I'll just clean up."
"You sure?"
"Yeah it'll be good for everyone to see the baby."
"Ok we'll I'm going to go."
"Bye." Lily put down the phone and started cleaning.
Grace walked into Mr. Dimitri's classroom. It was her lunch hour but she really did not feel like eating. He was sitting at his desk when she walked in. The second he saw her, he got up. "So Grace what brings you to my classroom?"
"I don't really know I just didn't really feel like eating." She sat down in the front desk.
"So something is bothering you. How about you share that with me?" He was getting closer to her.
"My life is just…." She stopped.
He was right next to her. "Is what?"
"Is…."
"Excuse me?" Grace and Mr. Dimitri were shocked to see some women standing in the classroom.
"Um… I'm going to go." Grace said. She grabbed her books and bolted out of the classroom.
"How you holding up?" Rick asked as her entered Karen's room.
"Better than you I'm guessing." Karen said with a smile.
Rick said down in the chair next to her bed. "No what would give you that idea?"
"Because I see in your face that something is bothering you. What is it?"
"It's nothing you don't need to worry about it. How about let's talk about what you've been up to."
"Well I've been in this bed mostly. Though the real excitement is the visitors that I get." She said with a smile.
"Well I'm glad to brighten up your day."
"Sorry to say Rick but the person who I'm really glad visited me is Eli."
Rick looked at her shocked. "Eli didn't come to see you, Karen."
She looked at her puzzled. "Yes he did. He was here last night till about twelve at least that's what my nurse said."
"He told me he never came. Karen, are you sure she said Eli came."
"Yes, she told me this morning that Eli stayed with me for hours. What's wrong Rick?" Karen asked worried.
"Look Karen, I'll be back later ok. But I've got to go." He got up.
"Rick, tell me what's wrong!" Karen said worried.
"I'll tell you later. You just do not worry, ok. Promise you won't worry about this?"
"Sure if that'll make you happy." She said sarcastically.
He started to leave.
"But you are going to tell me what's wrong!" She screamed as he left.
