There was a knock at the door. Grace smiled. It must be Eli she thought. "Come in." She said

Zoe walked in. "So you're dating our step-brother. That's just plain weird." Zoe said as she sat down on Grace's bed.

"Get out!" Grace screamed at Zoe and pointed to the door.

"I don't think so. Remember me, I'm the girl who stood up for you to Mom and Dad. The least you could do is let me stay in your room." She said laughing and lay down on her bed.

"Ok fine." Grace said and closed the door. "But you can't talk."

"Sorry no deal because I want to talk to you about Eli." Zoe said smiling.

"There's nothing to talk about and why are you here? I thought mom and Rick took you with them." Grace said.

"Nope told them I wanted to "bond" with you, well mom fell for it, and there are things to talk about I saw you and Eli kiss."

"You were spying on me!" Grace screamed mad.

"So what if I was. It happened now get over it." Zoe said.

"Ok, what would I take to get you out of my room?" Grace asked.

"You don't have it so forget it. Now tell all about you and Eli." Zoe said smiling.

"She's asleep now." Tiffany said as she came out of the room.

"I'm glad because Tiffany I want to talk to you." Jake said sitting down.

"Jake, what's wrong?" Tiffany asked concerned.

"Does something always have to be wrong for me to want to talk to you?" Jake asked.

"Normally yes." Tiffany said smiling.

"Ok well first nothing is wrong…" Jake started to say.

"That's good to know." Tiffany said.

"The second thing is Tiffany I really can't do this any more…"

Tiffany got up. "I already told you that you didn't have to…"

 Jake grabbed her, kissed her, and then stopped. "I know that but I what I wanted to say I can't just stay here and not want to kiss you."

She smiled. "I'm very glad to hear you say that."

"Do you really like her?" Jessie asked.

"Do you really need to know?" Eli asked.

"Yes." Jessie said smiling.

"Ok if I have to talk about Grace then you have to talk about Katie." Eli said.

"Deal, now you start." Jessie said waiting.

"Ok well yes I like her actually I love her…."

"aww, how cute." Jessie said.

"Ok, that's it. I'm not saying anything else." Eli said and faced the road again.

"Ok, ok. I want say it anymore. I promise. Will you continue please?" Jessie begged.

"Ok, since you promised. I told her today and she told me too. Then we kissed. I don't know I've dated a lot of girls but she's different…"

"Because this is the first girl that you really loved?" Jessie asked.

"Yeah, I guess that's it. Ok now you tell me about Katie."

"Ok, I really like Katie a lot. And I know the whole girls loving girls thing is a little weird for you…" Jessie started to say.

"It's not any more. For what I've seen of you and Katie and how happy she makes you. I'm ok with it. She's really good for you."

"I'm glad to hear that, Eli because your opinion really matters to me." Jessie said truthfully.

"Same here."

"So if I didn't like Grace, what would you do?"

"I would still be with but I wouldn't be so happy knowing that you didn't like her." Eli said truthfully.

"Well I give you my approval." Jessie said smiling.

"I was asking for it by thanks and the same does to you, Jessie. I just want you to be happy and if Katie makes you happy then I'm glad." Eli said smiling.

Karen was sitting at her table drinking a cup of tea when there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" She screamed.

There was another knock. Karen got up annoyed and opened the door. "Are you deaf or something?" She screamed. However, when she saw Henry she smiled.

"No I'm not deaf last time I checked." He said smiling.

"I'm sorry. Come in." She said and he followed her to the kitchen.

"I didn't interrupt anything did I?" Henry asked concerned.

"No just a wonderful evening with me and a cup of tea." She said smiling and offered him a seat.

"Where are your kids? I would have thought that that son of yours would have come back…." Henry started to say.

"He did and Jessie, Eli and I talked. I think most of it's pretty much ok now."

"I'm glad to hear that so if you're not doing anything. I'd like to take you some where's."

"You actually want to be seen some where's with a women caring a cane?" She asked shocked.

"I'm don't care if you don't." He said smiling.

"Ok, let me change. It'll only take a minute." She said getting up.

"I'll be waiting."

"That's all I'm telling you." Grace said as she got off the bed.

Zoe smiled. "That's all I need to know any way."

"What may I ask were you talking about?" Eli asked smiling as he walked into to Grace's room, followed by Jessie. He went over to Grace and put his arms around her.

"We were talking about you." Grace said smiling.

"Oh really, what exactly did you tell her?" Eli asked wondering.

"That's between me and my sister." Grace said laughing.

"Ok well then you'll never find what Jessie and I talked about." Eli said back to her.

"Ok the two of you stop it. This is getting annoying. Eli, she said she loved you and you love her and that you kissed." Zoe said.

"And Grace, he said he loved you, you said you love him and you kissed." Jessie said.

"Thanks so very much." Grace said.

"Oh guess what my mother told me?" Eli asked Grace smiling.

"I have no clue." Grace said.

"Well it seems that some girl came over to her house and told her off. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?"

Grace smiled. "No clue, but the girl must really love you if she did that."

"Yeah I think she does." Eli said and kissed her again.

"Ok stop!" Zoe and Jessie screamed.

"What?" They asked smiling.

"We're ok with you two dating but you're my sister." Zoe said.

"And you're my brother and we don't want to see you kiss each other." Jessie said.

Grace and Eli laughed. "Ok, we won't kiss if front of the two of you , if you will promise not to tell mom and Rick."

"That's fine with me." Jessie said.

"That's cool." Zoe said.

"So you nervous?" Rick asked Lily.

"Very, I don't know how they will take this." Lily said.

"Me either but you never know they just might be happy about it." Rick said.

Lily laughed. "Our kids? I can't see our kids being happy about our house being more crowded then it already is."

"True, but this will be there sister or brother so they will have to be happy." Rick said.

"Let's just hope someone told them that." Lily said smiling.

They opened the door. "Eli, Jessie!" Rick screamed up the stairs.

"Grace, Zoe!" Lily also screamed up.

Rick grabbed her hand. "This won't be so bad."
