Jessie knocked on the bathroom door. "Grace?" Jessie said through the door. "Are you ok? You've been in there for a long time." Jessie said worried.
"Come in." Grace said softly.
Jessie opened the door and walked in. "What have you been doing…." Then she saw what on the bathroom counter.. "Grace, are you…."
"I've been to sacred to look. I've just been letting it sit there and worrying about what it might mean." She nervous.
"Do you want me to?" Jessie asked.
"I don't' know if I'm ready to hear or see what's that thing says because if I am pregnant, I don't know what I'd do." Grace said worried.
"But Grace you might not be pregnant and wouldn't you want to know that?" She said.
"I guess but I still can't…" Grace said nervously.
"It's ok, I will" Jessie went over to the counter and read it. "Grace…"
"What does it say Jessie?" Grace asked nervously.
"So why did you get her flowers?" Zoe asked as she came into Eli's room.
Eli turned around and almost jumped. "Zoe, what are you doing in my room?" He asked annoyed.
"You know if you locked the door I won't be able to come in freely as I choose." Zoe said smiling and sat down on his bed. "So write any songs lately?"
"You know I've been meaning to lock my door." He said walking over and closing it. "Now Zoe why are you really in here? I know you don't care about my music." He said smiling and sat down next to her on his bed.
"Because I want to know what's going on with Grace and I know you know or you would not have brought her flowers, her favorite flowers. So what's going on?" Zoe asked worried.
"You know what Zoe don't worry about it, Grace is just has this problem and it's getting to her…"Eli started to say.
But Zoe interrupted him. "What kind of problem? And why do you know about and I don't?"
"Zoe, the best thing you can do right now is not worry about stop asking questions." He said getting up and trying to get her out of his room.
"But Eli…." She said but it was too late he had already closed the door.
"Who did you're appointment go?" Lily asked Grace came down for dinner.
"Fine." Grace said and sat down between Eli and Jessie.
"Well what exactly happen Grace?" Judy asked.
"Can you two let her come up for air please!" Jessie said.
"Thank you, Jessie. I agree can you please just let me eat in peace with out reminding me of the r…." She started to say but Eli stopped her.
"About the doctor's appointment right?" He said looking at Grace and then at Zoe.
"Right, the doctor's appointment. Which let me tell you that that was loads of fun." Grace said sarcastically.
"It's not exactly meant to be fun, Grace. It's meant to help you." Lily said seriously.
"Your mother's right. It is helping you right?" Jake asked.
"Yeah Faith is a big help and she's one of the nicest people I eve met." She said overly cheery.
"Grace, do you think that you could be serious for one second?" Rick asked.
Grace stood up. "Be serious? You mean act like the way I have been acting ever since that bastard raped me! No Rick, I wouldn't possible know how to act serious!"
"Grace, come sit down please." Eli said getting up and tying to calm her down and it worked because Grace did sit down.
"Who raped you, Grace? What's going on?" Zoe asked worried.
"Oh great!" Lily said.
"She might as well know because Faith wants my whole family including Rick, Jessie, Eli and Karen to be there tomorrow after school." Grace said seriously.
"What does eh want us there for?" Jake asked worried.
"I don't know to have a party. What do you think Dad? To discuss what happened obviously." Grace said annoyed.
"What time?" Rick asked.
"Right after I get off of school so if you call can manage I'd like for you to be there." She said getting up.
"Grace, we're are you going?" Lily asked.
"To take a bath, if that's ok with the rest of this family." Grace said annoyed.
"It's fine." Lily said as Grace left the room.
"Mom, what is she talking about?" Zoe asked.
