"You two aren't in a normal relationship to begin with so you can't expect to have normal fights. Because you basically live together, things that other couples don't have to deal with you do." Faith pointed out.

"So basically you're saying we just had a fight?" Grace asked.

"In laymen's terms, yes you had a fight. Look Eli is probably not use to having his girlfriend see his fights with his parents like you do. It makes it a little weird for him. If you were to talk to him he's probably agree." Faith said.

"So basically we need to kiss and make up?" Grace asked.

"Again in laymen's terms, yes. But how about you talk, then make up and then kiss." Faith said.

"Sounds like a plan." Grace said as she got up. "Thanks Faith."

"Your welcome and Grace?"

"Yeah?"

"Be happy you just survived your first fight." She said as Grace's left.

"Hey you." Karen said as Henry came into the house. "What's wrong? You don't look so good." Karen asked worried.

"We need to talk." He said as he sat down at the table.

"I see so I should cancel our dinner plans?" Karen asked.

"Probably." Henry said.

"Ok, I'll be back in a minute." Karen said getting up. "And Henry please realize." She said smiling.

Karen came back in. five minutes later.  "So what's bothering you?"

"Karen, I well quit my job." Henry said.

"What? Why would you do that?" Karen asked shocked.

"Because it's against our rules to date our patients so I quit." Henry said.

"You quit because of me?" Karen asked shocked. "Why would you do that?" She asked.

"Because you are more important to me than any job. Look, don't worry about it I'm already hired some where's else." Henry said.

"I'm that important to you?" Karen asked shocked.

"Yes, Karen you defiantly that important to me." Henry said taking her hand.

She smiled. "That's really good to know because I feel the same way."

"So how's Faith?" Eli asked.

"She's fine." Grace said.

"Look Grace…" Eli started to say.

"You're sorry, I know that you don't have to say it." Grace said.

"I'm what?" Eli asked in shock.

"Sorry, that is what you were going to say right?" Grace asked.

"No not really. Why did you think I was going to say that?" Eli asked annoyed.

"Because of the things you said this morning, because you want this fight to end…." Grace started to say.

"This fight? We're in a fight?" Eli asked in shock.

"Why are you shocked? You had to have known we were in a fight. We were in one right?" Grace asked confused.

"I didn't think we were having a fight. I mean I know we both said something's we didn't mean this morning but I didn't know we were in a fight." Eli said.

"So if you weren't going to say you were sorry and you didn't think we were in a fight, then what were you going to say?" Grace asked wondering.

"I was going to say that I wanted you to wear this again." He said taking the necklace out. "I was also going to say that I don't like what happened this morning and wanted to see if you were ok with forgetting it." Eli said.

"I'll take it." She said as he put it on her. "And no I don't want to forget it but rather you want to admit it or not we did just have our first fight and that's not something you forget." Grace said.

"Ok, deal but one condition." Eli said.

"What's that?" Grace asked.

"That we kiss and make up." Eli said smiling.

"That's a deal." She said and kissed him.

"Welcome home." Tiffany said as Jake came in.

"Welcome?" Jake asked curiously.

"Yes, welcome, we're glad for you to be home." Tiffany said smiling.

"Ok, have you been drinking a lot of caffeine?" Jake asked smiling.

"No, I haven't been, what are you implying any way?" She asked smiling.

"I was just wondering why you were so happy, that's all." Jake said.

"What I can't be happy?" She asked shocked.

"No, you can. Actually I like you to be happy." He said walking towards her.

"Good, because I like to be happy." Tiffany said.
"Which is something I don't think I'm helping." He said seriously.

"Ok, now where would you get that idea from?" She asked.

"Because I know I'm not." He said.

"Look Jake, I know we're not in a "relationship" right now at least I don't think we are any way. But if you'd like to change that then tell me and I will but if this is what you want then this is what we'll be." Tiffany said.

"But you want us to be in a "relationship"." Jake said.

"What I want is to be here with you and if this is what we have and this is what you want then I'm ok with that." Tiffany said smiling.

"Grace?" Zoe asked as she knocked on Eli's door.

"Come in." Grace said.

"Good you're here." Zoe said sitting down on the bed.

"What's wrong? And talk fast I just took something to go to sleep and I won't be awake for much longer." Grace said.

"Ok, well this won't take long. Mom and Rick know about you and Eli and they're waiting to talk to you two." Zoe said. "Ok, well I'm going now." Zoe said getting up.

"Wait! First thing tomorrow you're explaining this to me." Grace said as she started to drift asleep.

"Sure thing." Zoe said as she walked out the door.

"Where are they?" Rick asked looking at the clock.

"I don't know. Zoe said that Grace had an appointment with Faith so maybe they are still there." Lily suggested.

"Or maybe Jessie or Zoe told them we're waiting for them and that's why we haven't seen them." Rick suggested.

"Oh come on Rick that's crazy. There's isn't a conspiracy going on around here." She said.

"Oh so they want you to think." Rick said.

"Eli, wait." Jessie said as Eli started to head inside.

"What?" He asked annoyed.

"I just wanted to warn that dad and Lily know about you and Grace and are waiting in the living room to talk to the both of you." Jessie said and started to leave.

"Hold it!" Jessie stopped. "First how do they know and second why are you in such a hurry?" He asked.

"Because I'm sacred of what you might do to me once you find out that Zoe and I told them." She said as Zoe came up and they ran into the house.

"Great!" Eli said as he opened the door and walked into the living room.

"I hear you two want to talk to me and Grace." Eli said as he came in.

"Yes we do. Where's Grace?" Lily asked.

"She just took a sleepy pill and so she's asleep and I'm about to head to Mom's so we can do this later right?" Eli asked.

"I guess we have to." Rick said sadly.

"Good, we'll goodnight guys." Eli said leaving.

"I don't know how good it is." Rick said sarcastically.
