"Will you be ok?" Eli asked as both he and Grace stood outside of Faith's office.

"Now that he's fired I just might be." She said smiling.

"Well you know you do have an excuse for missing this if you want to." Eli said hoping she's agree.

"I don't think so." She said.

"Well then I guess this is goodbye." He said sadly.

She grabbed his hand. "No way, you're coming in there in with me." Grace said.

"Why?" He asked shocked.

"Because I want her to know about us and well I like having you around." She said smiling.

"Good to know because I like having you around too." He said as the door opened.

"Grace, Eli, come in please." Faith said as she held open the door.

Jessie came in to the house and was shocked to see the table set with three plates and candles out.

"Mom, what's going on?" Jessie asked a little confused.

Karen came out of the living room holding Henry's hand. "Oh Jessie honey, when did you get here?" She asked a little shocked.

"Just now… Mom what is Henry doing here?" She asked still confused.

"Um… Jessie, Henry is staying for dinner tonight. That's ok right?" Karen asked worried.

"That's fine. Henry, the only think I ask is you treat my mother right." Jessie said as she headed into the kitchen.

"Did she just say what I think she said?" Karen asked Henry shocked.

"Yeah, she really loves you Karen." Henry said as they walked into the kitchen.

"Was I like this when I was little?" Zoe asked Jake as Tiffany held Maddie.

"You were just as cute but not near as quiet." Jake said and Zoe smiled.

"That's because I wanted you to hear me." Zoe said.

"I don't doubt that at all." Jake said laughing.

Zoe looked around a noticed that some of Jake's stuff was here. "Dad, Tiffany are you living together?" She asked a little confused.

"What?" Jake asked shocked.

"Your stuff is here, so I'm guessing you've moved in." She said.

"Um… Zoe your dad has just moved to help me with the baby." Tiffany said before Jake could speak.

"Ok that's cool." Zoe said ignoring the obvious looks that Jake and Tiffany were giving each other.

"So Grace I hear that there was something going on at school today." Faith asked noticing the obvious closeness between Grace and Eli.

"Yeah, they has a meeting to decided if they should fire Mr. Dimitri are not. So many people spoke up about it that they had to fire him."  Grace said happily.

"That's good to hear. So is there anything else going on?" She asked hoping that Grace would explain her and Eli.

"Well the thing is…" Grace started to say a little nervous.

"We are dating now." Eli said finishing her sentence.

Faith just smiled. "I expected as much so how are your parents taking this news?"

"They… well we haven't told them yet. Only our little sisters know." Grace said.

"Oh ok I see. Well then I'll be sure not to mention this to either one of them." Faith said as she put the clipboard down. "I don't think there's really anything more to discuss because you seem like you're doing really well." She said as she got up.

"That's good to hear." She said as both her and Eli got up.

"But Eli if it's ok I'd like to talk to you for a second." She said before they could leave.

"That's fine, Grace I'll meet you at the car ok?" He asked.

"Sure, I'll be waiting." She said as she gave him a kiss and walked out the door.

When the door closed, Faith turned to Eli. "Let's sit down ok?" She offered.

 Eli sat down. "So what's up?" Eli asked concerned.

"I'm just worried that Grace is getting to attached to you and if the two of you were to break up…." Faith started to say.

"That's not about to happen, I've waited to long for her." Eli said.

"Let me finish, Eli I'm just worried that if you two were to even try to take different, separate paths in life then she be right back where she started. Eli, I just don't want to see that happen." Faith said.

"Either do I and it's not going to happen." Eli said getting up. "Thank you for caring but we're perfectly fine." Eli said as he left.

"I hope so." Faith said as she sat back in her chair.

"So we have the house to our selves… are we going to try to take advantage of that?" Rick asked Lily hoping.

"I don't think so, I'm just well I don't feel so good." She said sitting down on the couch.

"I'm sorry, is there anything I can do." He asked concerned.

"It's a little too late for that." She said smiling.

"I guess so. So have you thought of what we're going to name this child?" Rick asked.

"I haven't had time to. You?" She asked.

"I don't know, I can't seem to think of any." He said.

"Well we're not going to be able to put this off forever you know that." She pointed out.

"I know but how about let's make sure these kids are ok before we make any decision about one that's not here." Rick said.

"Sounds like a good plan. So who would you like to start with?" Lily asked.

"How about we started with trying to figure out what's going on with Grace and Eli." Rick said.

"You think some things going on?' she asked.

"Well I know one thing Grace slept in Eli's room last night and I don't know where Eli was." Rick said.

"Rick, you don't think they are…" Lily started to say.

"All I know is Karen's words are starting to make sense." Rick said sadly.
