"Hey sleepy head." Eli said smiling as Grace opened her eyes.
"Not again. This has to stop you know that right?" She asked as she rolled over.
"What has to stop?" He asked sitting down on the bed next to her.
"This you waking me up with a smiling face before the sun comes up." Grace said.
"Sorry to break the news to you but the sun is up and you've been sleeping since we left Faith's." Eli said.
"I have? Then how did I…" She started to say worried.
"I carried you up here and put you to sleep." Eli said.
"That was nice." She said smiling.
"I am nice." Eli said.
"And you've got a big ego." She said getting out bed.
"I do not have a big ego…." Eli started to say.
"So you claim but we're not having this discussion because I want to go get something to eat." She said as she slipped on her shoes.
Eli went over to her and put his arms around her. "I don't think so you're not leaving till you admit that I do not have a big ego."
She laughed. "That's not happening and let me go off me." She said as she got his hands off her and headed down stairs.
"Just because you can't admit you have a big ego doesn't mean that I have one." Eli said following her into the kitchen.
"First I have to wake up to your smiling face and now you're going to accuse me of having a big ego! I don't thing so." She said as she opened the door.
Everyone in the kitchen looked up at them as they came in.
"Do you do this every morning?" Karen asked as she watched Henry run around the field another time.
He came running over to her. "Do you always ask so many questions?"
"Are you implying something?" She asked smiling.
He smiled back at her. "All I am saying is like mother like daughter."
"Ok, just because I can't walk well right now doesn't mean I won't go after you." She said trying to get up.
"Oh that's funny, you can't even get up with out me." He said laughing.
She sat back down. "Ok, then you come over to me."
"I don't think so. You just want me to come over there so you can do something to me." He said smiling.
"Henry, come over here." Karen said again.
"Why?" He asked.
"Henry, please come over here." She said again.
He walked over to her slowly.
She took his hand and then kissed him. "See I wasn't about to do anything bad to you." She said smiling.
"Just because you didn't doesn't mean you weren't going to." He said smiling.
"So what are you plans for today?" Jake asked Tiffany as she came out the bedroom.
"Why are you in here?" She asked confused.
"Because I'm hungry." He said pointing to the eggs, he was eating.
"That makes since I guess." She said taking a seat next to him.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing, is there any chance to there's some left for me?" She asked.
Jake got up and got the extra eggs he had set on a plate for her and gave them to her. "You know if something, you can tell me."
She ate a piece of the egg. "You know this isn't bad."
He pulled the plate back and looked at her. "Tiffany, what's wrong?" He asked seriously.
"Why weren't you in bed this morning when I woke up and why didn't you want us to tell the kids we were living together?" Tiffany asked sadly.
"First off you made it look like you didn't want to see me first thing in the morning and second I never said I didn't want the kids to know we were living together, you're the one who told Zoe about why we were living together." Jake said shocked by her questions.
She laughed. "You right, I hate doing this…" She started to say.
"Hate doing what?" He asked.
"I hate analyzing everything little thing." She said.
He laughed and pushed the plate back to her. "Then don't."
"You woke up together?" Lily asked shocked.
Grace looked at her like she was crazy. "I said I woke up seeing his smiling face. You know if you're going to try to repeat what I say, then please get it right." Grace said annoyed.
"Did you two sleep in the same room last night?" Lily asked.
"No, mother," Grace said aggravated.
"Then where did both of you sleep?" Rick asked Eli.
"She slept in my bed and I slept at Mom's." Eli said.
"And she'd tell me that if I called her right?" Rick asked.
"Well yes, if she was home but she's at the baseball field." Eli said sadly.
"How convenient, but you know Eli if you're going to lie at least try to make it close to the truth because you're mother doesn't play baseball." Rick said sadly.
"You know what, you're not going to believe no matter what I say so I'm out of here!" Eli said and ran out the house.
"Eli, don't!" Grace screamed and started to go after him.
"Grace, don't…" Lily said.
"You know what I don't care what you say! You are ok with him accusing Eli and that's not right and as for you…" Grace said turning to Rick. "Would it kill you for once in you life to actually trust him!" She screamed and headed out the doors.
Jessie went up to Rick. "Mom is dating a guy who coaches baseball that's why she's there and Eli and Grace aren't doing anything wrong." She said as she headed upstairs.
"She's right you know, neither one of them are doing anything wrong. You know if you can't see that then I don't know how you can take another child on." Zoe said as she also headed upstairs.
"How did this happen?" Lily asked shocked as she leaned up against Rick.
"I jumped and accused him before I had any facts." He took a deep breath. "Again and now I need to go apologize to him yet again." He said as he started to head out the door.
"Wait." She said as she grabbed his arm. "We still don't know what's going on between them and if you go and apologize then we never will."
"So I'm just supposed to let him leave?" Rick asked.
"Don't worry about that, Grace won't let him. Plus maybe if they get mad enough they'll tell us what's going on. Because sooner or later they are going to want to explain this to us." Lily said sadly. "So yes we wait."
