"Hey Karen. How you doing?" Lily asked as Rick placed Karen in the car.
"Hi Lily, I'm fine." She said through her teeth.
Rick got in the drive seat. "So Karen how are you doing?"
"She's fine." Lily said.
Rick looked at Lily like she was crazy.
"I already told her." Karen said as Rick turned back to the road and started driving.
"How long is this going take?" Karen asked.
"We don't really know yet." Lily said back in response.
"Anyone want to tell where we're going?" Karen asked annoyed.
"You don't know?" Lily asked shocked.
"No, if I knew I wouldn't be asking would I." Karen said with sarcasm.
"You didn't tell her?" Lily asked Rick shocked.
"I thought Eli or Jessie would." Rick said defensively.
"They didn't so can one of you please tell me where we are going and why are we going there." Karen said agitated.
"We're going to Grace's rape counselor because Grace was rapped by her English teacher. Is there anything else you'd like to know?" Lily asked annoyed.
"No." Karen said sadly. "And I'm sorry." She said meaning it.
"Can you two stop arguing!" Grace said aggravated as Jessie and Zoe stopped arguing.
"Are you ok?" Zoe asked annoyed. "You seem a little on edge."
Jessie kicked her. "Shut up." She whispered.
"It's ok, Jessie. Zoe, I'm just a little nervous about the meeting." Grace said serious.
"Is there anything I can do?" Zoe asked.
"No but thanks for thanks for the offer." Grace said.
"Can all of you imagine everyone together for this and not killing each other?" Jessie said trying to lighten up the moment.
Grace laughed. "This is will be a event that we will remember."
"It'll be a miracle more than anything if everyone gets out of there in one peace." Zoe said laughing.
They pulled up the parking lot. Jessie and Zoe got out. Grace and Eli stayed in the car.
"You going to be ok?" Eli asked.
"I don't but do you think you could hold my hand and keep reassuring me I can get through this?" She asked looking in to his eyes.
"I'd love to." He said getting out of the car and waiting for her and then taking her hand and walking iwht her to the office.
"How long do you think you'll be here?" Sam asked as he and Jamie walked Judy to the office door.
"I have no clue. I don't any one really knows but I'll call yall when I'm done ok." She said giving Sam a kiss.
"You can't not bring Maddie in there." Jake walking up said angrily to Tiffany.
"But your whole family is here I can't find a baby sister." Tiffany said back to him.
"Well she's isn't coming in there with us." Jake said.
"You know I can watch her." Sam spoke up.
"No!" Jake and Tiffany said quickly.
"You don't really have any other choice." Sam said.
"I don't care you're never watching my daughter." Jake said.
Tiffany pulled him aside. "Jake, we really don't have a choice. He can't be that bad. I mean is a father." She pointed out.
"Ok." They walked back over to 3 of them. "Ok you can watch her but Sam if you so much as touch a hair on her head I will kill you." Jake said seriously.
"If I can't touch her then how am I going to take her?" He asked laughing.
"Sam!" Judy said and elbowed him.
"What?" He asked still laughing.
"What's going on?" Rick asked as Eli, Grace, Zoe, Jessie, him, Lily and Karen walked up.
"Sam is going to watch Maddie for us while we're here." Tiffany said smiling.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Grace and Eli sad. Jessie and Zoe laughed.
"Or you really that desperate?" Rick asked and Karen and Lily laughed.
"I'm not that bad." Sam said defensively.
"Just make sure to tell Jamie everything there is to know about Maddie and you won't have to worry about Sam forgetting anything." Rick suggested.
"Either way my threat still stands." Jake said as everyone headed into Faith's office. Everyone but Jake and Tiffany were laughing.
"Ok everyone take a seat. First, let me introduce my self. I am Faith Harris and since there are so many of you how about you each tell me who you are and how you are related to Grace. Will start with the young man how sitting next to Grace." Faith said pointing to Eli.
"Oh well I'm Eli Sammler and I'm Grace's stepbrother."
"I'm Jessie, his sister and Grace's stepsister."
"I'm Zoe Manning, Grace's little sister."
"I'm Judy, Grace's aunt by her mother's side."
"I'm Lily Sammler, Grace's Mother."
"I'm Rick Sammler, Grace's step-father and the father of Jessie and Eli."
"I'm Karen, I have no relation to Grace but I'm the mother of Jessie and Eli."
"I'm Jack Manning , Grace's father."
"And I'm Tiffany, I'm not really related Grace but I'm the mother of Grace's half-sister, Maddie."
"Ok now that's that done let's get started…."
