"Lily, what's going on here?" Barbara asked concerned.
Lily took a deep breath. "Mom, you may want to sit down."
"Lily, please just tell me what's going on."
"Ok have it your way but don't blame me if you later wish you had sat down…."
"Lily…."
"I'm pregnant."
"What?" She asked shocked.
"I'm pregnant and maybe with twins." Lily said and was shocked to see her smile and laugh.
"Where are you going to put them?"
Lily laughed. "They'll be staying in our room the first months and then either in Grace or Zoe's room."
"Boy or Girl?"
"I don't really want to know."
"Why?"
"Element of surprise I guess."
"So how the kids taking it?"
"Eli and Jessie are happy and Zoe and Grace are well…"
"Why?"
"Zoe doesn't really want another child so soon and Grace…."
"What's wrong with Grace? What happened to her?"
"I don't know how to tell you this with out just saying it, Grace was raped…."
"By who?"
"Her English teacher."
"Where is he?"
"Away from her and that's all that matter."
"No wonder she's so sad…. Lily, is she pregnant?"
"No, well we thought she was but she's not."
"So how are you holding up?" Barbara asked.
Lily looked at her for a second. "Ok, I guess. It's just hard to know that you can't protect your daughter when she needs you to."
"Well if there's one thing I've learned from you and Judy is that the women in this family are strong and they can survive anything."
Lily smiled as a tear feel down on her face. "We learned that from you."
"I know and Lily maybe you can't protect Grace but you can at least be strong for her." Barbara suggested.
"Thanks Mom."
"What's going on?" Zoe asked as she came down stairs.
"B's here." Jake said.
"That's Lily's mother right?" Karen asked.
"Yeah, she lives in Florida most of the time." Rick said.
"Excuse me!" Grace screamed.
Everyone turned to her.
"Mom, wants me to "talk" to someone. So who's wants to volunteer?"
No one said anything.
"Well don't jump up all at once." She said sarcastically. "I'll choose. Dad, come with me." She said as she dragged Jake to her room.
"What's exactly is she talking about?" Karen asked confused.
"Lily took B out side to talk to her and told Grace to talk to someone." Rick said.
"So what did the three of you talk about?" Eli asked.
"Babies." Zoe said smiling.
"Why? Is someone having a baby?" Judy asked confused.
"Is Grace having a baby?" Sam asked.
"Yes someone is having a baby and no it's not Grace." Rick said.
"So who's having a baby?" Judy asked.
"Lily, didn't tell her?" Karen whispered to Rick.
"I guess not." Rick said. "Well Judy, Lily's going to have a baby."
"What?" Judy asked shocked.
"Twins, maybe." Jessie said smiling.
"Twins, she already has two kids! Two marriages and four kids." Judy said rambling.
"Is she ok?" Rick asked Sam.
"She does this a lot, just let her keep rambling. It's quite funny." Sam said smiling
Judy turned to him. "I would have been married, I would have children, but I don't because of you." She said.
"It's not so funny now. Is it buddy?" Rick asked as he patted him on the back. "Let's go into the living room everyone." Rick said laughing.
"So I've said all I'm going to say down there so how about you?" Grace asked sarcastically.
"Yes I do. First Grace I am sorry, I did not mean to upset. That really wasn't my intention."
"You could of fooled me!" Grace said.
"I love you and I never would hurt you knowingly that is. I want you to be happy, you are my little girl forever and even though you want admit it I know that you agree. I also know and see that Eli makes you very happy and I'm glad because he's a good guy…."
"Are you telling the truth?" She asked shocked.
"Yes, I talked to Eli and told him the same thing that I'm ok with the two of you. He makes you happy and for some reason or another he's the only person you trust and I'm not going to stand in the way of that."
"Oh daddy!" She said as she hugged him.
"What was that for?" He asked.
"Well one for being ok with me and Eli and second for letting me still be your little girl." She said as she started to cry again.
"You still want to be?"
"Now and always but you got to promise me something.."
"What?"
"That you want tell anyone else about it. It'll be our little secret."
Jake smiled. "It's a deal."
