"Grace, wake up." Eli said as he tried to get her up.
She opened her eyes. "Ok this time you can not tell me the sun is up because I know it's not." She said annoyed.
"You're right I can't but that's besides the point because we need to go now." He said getting off the bed.
She sat up. "Why?"
"Because if we don't leave soon then we're going to have to deal with our parents. And I don't know about you but I don't feel like doing that right now." Eli said as he handed her some shoes.
"Ok, ok but you know we can't avoid them forever." Grace said.
"I know but let's try to do this for as long as we can. Plus it's fun to see them go nuts trying to catch us." He said smiling.
"I agree it is." She said smiling.
There was a knock at the door. "Come in." Eli said.
Jessie and Zoe walked in.
"They are still asleep but they won't be for long." Zoe said as she came in.
"You know this is absurd." Jessie said yawning.
"Well if you two would have just kept your mouths shut, this wouldn't be happening." Grace said.
"But that's the thing we didn't really say anything." Jessie said.
"Oh really then why do they want to talk to us so badly?" Eli asked.
"Well that's her fault." Jessie said pointing at Zoe.
"Zoe? What did you tell them?" Grace asked.
"Just that you two were a cute couple and in love. That's all." Zoe said.
"That's way too much." Grace said as she grabbed her book sake.
"Come in guys let's go." Eli said as they started to leave.
"Rick!" Lily screamed from Zoe's room.
Rick came running from their room. "What's wrong?" He asked out of breath
"They're gone. They're all gone." She said worried.
"You mean the kids?" He asked confused.
"Yes, I checked Grace's room, Jessie's room, Zoe's room and Eli's room." She said still worried.
"Well where any of they're book sack's missing or they're books?" He asked.
"Yeah, why?" She asked confused.
"Well they're smart I'll say that much." He said smiling.
"Smart? What in the heck are you talking about?" She asked aggravated.
"They left Lily before we woke up so we wouldn't be able to talk to Grace and Eli." Rick said.
She laughed. "Of course. Well that's I'm feeling stupid." Lily said.
"Don't." He said.
"Well since that's fixed. I am going to go get ready. And hey, do not forget we have an appointment with the doctor this afternoon to get an ultrasound done." She reminded him.
"We do?" He asked confused.
"Yes, Rick. I told you this yesterday before Zoe spilled the beans." She said.
"Right, I remember now." He said. "So are we or are we not going to find out the sex of the baby?" Rick asked.
"We've been through this already. I don't want to find out and you do." She said.
"I remember but come on, you sure you don't want to know?" He begged.
"Good bye, Rick. I am going to go to the station. I'll see you this afternoon." She said as she started to leave.
"Ok you've got ten more minutes to finish your drink." Eli told Zoe.
She took another small sip. "I'll finish it by then." She said smiling.
"You know she's going to hold you to that ten minutes thing. She's going to not finish it till the very last minute." Grace pointed out.
"Yes, I know. She likes to drive me crazy like you." He said smiling.
"I drive you crazy?" She asked confused.
"You didn't know?" Jessie asked shocked. "Believe me you have. He has never been like this for any girl before. It's quite scary."
"Scary? You think this is scary, you haven't seen anything yet." Eli said to Jessie.
"Zoe, hurry up. We need to leave now." Jessie said.
"You think I care what he does to you? You could die and I would still be sitting here, drinking this coffee." She said taking another sip.
"Ok, Zoe, Jessie separate. Same goes for Jessie and Eli. There will be no bloodshed here. We're in public." She said.
"Aww, you ruin all our fun." Eli said jokily.
"Your girlfriend is a party pooper." Jessie told Eli.
"Watch what you say or I want take you and Katie prom dress shopping with me." Grace said.
"What are you talking about?" Eli asked curiously.
"You know what. It's been ten minutes already. Come let's go." She said getting up.
Everyone followed her. Eli stopped her. "What are you in such a hurry for?" He asked.
"Well I just… I didn't think you'd be to happy about going back to high school even just for one night." She said.
He smiled. "Well that's sweet of you to think of me, but if you really want to go, I'm not about to stop you from going. Plus spending the night dancing with you would be worth going back to high school."
"Good morning." Henry said when Karen woke up.
"Are you always this happy in the morning?" She asked as she reached for her cane.
"Normally yes. You don't like me being happy?" He asked.
"Personally I'm not very big on people who are happy especially if they are the first face I see in the morning." She said.
"Sorry." He got and got her cane for her. "You know I would never have guessed this." He said.
"What? That I'd actually allow you to spend the night here? We'll in that case I'm glad to be able to surprise you." She said smiling and took the cane from him.
"Well I'm not complaining." He said. "Last night was nice."
"That it was." Karen said.
The phone rang.
"I'll be right back." She said as she picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Karen, I was wondering if you'd be able to come over to the house later today?" Rick asked.
"Sure, is something wrong?" Karen asked.
"I don't really know yet. But I need you to be here at about five." He said.
"Ok, I'll be there, but Rick can you do me a favor and tell what's going on?" She asked.
"Well it's just about Eli and Grace. Karen, I've got to go." He said hanging up.
"So do I." She said hanging up the phone.
"Hey." She said to Jake as he opened her eyes
"So you're trying to get back at me right?" He asked smiling.
"Well it's a start any way. I made sure to wake up before you today." She said.
"Well it doesn't really bother me that much but good try." He said getting out of bed.
"Well I'll have to work a little harder next time." She said also getting up.
"I'll be waiting." He said smiling.
The phone rang.
Tiffany picked it up. "Hello? Oh yeah Lily, he's right here." She said handing Jake the phone.
"Yeah what's up Lil?" Jake asked.
"I need you to come by the house at five there's something we need to discuss with Grace and Eli." She said.
"What exactly is going on with the two of them?" Jake asked.
"Well you'll find out when you get here. I've got to go Jake." She said as she hung up the phone.
"I can't wait." He said sarcastically as he hung up the phone.
