"Hey, Manning, wait up." Joey said as she ran up to catch up with Grace.
"Um… Joey, what are you doing?" Grace asked as everyone in the hall turned to look at them.
"Yeah Kale what exactly do you think you're doing?" Riley asked stepping in front of Riley.
"Riley, it's ok, right Joey?" Grace asked stepping in front of Riley.
"Yeah Page everything is fine." Joey said smiling at Riley. "So Manning, can we talk for a second?"
"Yeah, sure." Grace said putting her stuff in her locker.
"You've got to be kidding me, Grace. Joey Kale, it's someone you don't want to get involved with." Riley said to Grace.
"Look, thanks for worrying about me, Riley but nothing's going to happen." Grace said as she started to walk off.
"So you claim but when something goes wrong you'll come back and I'll make sure to tell you I told you so." Riley said as she started to walk away.
Grace just laughed.
"Lily, you got a second?" Judy asked as she came into the station.
Les came out of the office. "Lily, this isn't in your families meeting place."
"I know that Les." Lily said as she went over to Judy. "What are you doing here?"
"I need to talk about the baby and Sam." Judy said.
"Don't you have a restaurant/bookstore to run?"
"Yeah, I think I remember running something like that."
"How exactly did you get away from Sam with out giving him an answer? Lily asked as she showed her a seat.
"I told him I was feeling sick which in some ways is true." Judy said.
"So what are you going to do?" Lily asked.
"I don't know. I really don't know." Judy said sadly.
"Ok, let's say that Sam took away the offer, how would you feel?" Lily asked.
"Very sad, I wouldn't like it at all." Judy said sadly.
"Ok, let's say that you and Sam got married, how would you feel?" Lily asked.
"I'd be happy, really happy." Judy said smiling.
"Then there's your answer, Do what ever makes you happy." Lily said getting up.
"Is it that easy?" Judy asked.
"It can be." Lily said.
Les came in as Lily and Judy were starting to leave. "Where are you going?"
"I have a doctor's appointment, Les."
"A doctor's appointment?"
"A doctor's appointment about the baby." Lily said as she left.
"You're pregnant?" Les asked confused as they both left.
"So what is it that you need to talk to me about, Joey?" Grace asked as they entered an empty classroom.
"Just wanted to see how you were." Joey said sitting down.
Grace laughed. "I don't believe you."
"Then you're smarter than I thought you were."
"Again I'm going to ask you what it is you need to talk to me about." Grace said.
"You get right to the point don't you, Manning." Joey said.
"I prefer not to waste my time on meaningless drivel." Grace said smiling.
"I agree, I'm the same way." Joey said smiling.
The door opened. "Joey?" Jen asked.
"What do you want?" Joey asked looking up.
"We were just looking for you… What is she doing here?" Jen asked annoyed.
"I'm talking to her, you got a problem with that?" Joey asked getting up and walking to the door.
"No, um… we'll catch up you later?" Jen asked.
"Probably." Joey said rolling her eyes as Jen closed the door.
"What did you do that for?" Grace asked.
"Did I ever tell you how much I hate those people?" Joey said sarcastically.
"I thought the were your friends?" Grace asked.
"They're just hanging around me to be cool, they aren't my friends." Joey said.
"Sam, are you actually planning on getting any work done today?" Rick said walking and handing him a cup of coffee.
"Do I have to work?" Sam asked begging.
Rick looked at his watch. "You have only ten more minutes left."
"Good, I think I'll leave early." Sam said getting up.
"Please don't." Rick said.
Sam sat back down. "I can't work at all."
"I've noticed." Rick said pointing to the empty sketchpad in front of Sam.
"I keep thinking about Judy and why she hasn't answered me." Sam said worried.
"Sam, you proposed to her this morning, give her time like I did." Rick said.
"I'm not about to model my life after you." Sam said.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm a divorcee, with a child from my first wife who plays the guitar, so far I'm already modeling your life."
"Well you did propose to a Brooks women and she's having your baby so I think whether you want to or not you have modeled my life."
"Great!" Sam said with a sigh.
"So are we meeting after school again?" Katie asked as she came up on Jessie.
"Yeah we're going to my house first. So did you ever ask your mother about coming with us?" Jessie asked.
"Does it really matter?" Kate said.
"I guess not by Lily kind of wanted her to come." Jessie said.
"Well she's not coming, she couldn't possibly make time for her own daughter." Katie said as she slammed her locker.
"I'm sorry for bringing it up. Do you want to talk about it?" Jessie asked concerned.
"Not really and I'm sorry Jessie for snapping at you, I didn't mean to." Katie said.
"It's ok, really it's ok."
"Can you believe that?" Jake asked sitting down.
"Is it that crazy? You know some people do get married when they become pregnant." Tiffany said.
"We didn't."
"Well we're not the marrying type any way."
"Why would you say that?"
"Well for one we're not married or we?"
"Do you want us to be?"
"Does it matter anymore, Jake?"
"I guess not, I just keep thinking we could be doing what they are doing."
"But we're not and personally I'm glad."
"What?" Jake asked shocked.
"Having to plan a wedding at that time would have been just too much to worry about."
"So you do want to marry me?"
"Are you asking?"
"No, I'm just wondering."
"Well in that case I'm going to say yes and end thiw discussion."
"He proposed to her, did you hear that he proposed to her?" Jamie asked screaming as he walked up to Zoe.
"Who proposed to who?" Zoe asked confused.
"My father proposed to your aunt." Jamie said.
"I'm so happy, I can't wait to congratulate JuJu." Zoe said smiling.
"I wouldn't be in such an hurry, she's hasn't answered him yet."
"What? Why?"
"I would ask your aunt if I was you."
"What do you not want them to get married?"
"First they are having a baby and now they're getting married. I can't take this."
Zoe laughed. "We'll talk about this later, I've got to go."
"You can count on that."
"Ok so what are you hiding?" Karen asked as Henry as he came back into her room.
"Hiding? I'm not hiding anything."
"Don't lie to me, I always know when you're lying." Karen said smiling.
"Oh you do? And how can you tell?" Henry asked questionably.
"I can see it in your in eyes. It's all there."
"Great, I really wish I could change that." Henry said sitting down.
"You can start by telling me what's going on."
"I didn't want you to know because I didn't want you to be freak out."
"Freak out about what? Henry what are you talking about?" Karen asked worried.
"I'm talking about your injury. It wasn't as minor as I led on."
"I didn't think it was any way."
"And you didn't mind telling me that?"
"I wanted you to tell me."
"Next time please don't wait so long to share with me this kind of information."
"Same goes for you."
"Hey do you have what we need to clean this place up?" Grace asked as she came into the house.
"I've got everything we need from two buckets to two sponges." Eli said as he carried the things out.
"Did I ever tell you how much I hate cleaning things?" Grace asked.
"It's a little too late to tell me that, don't you think?"
"Well I don't care, I'm not cleaning this up?" She said sitting down.
"I don't think so you caused this mess too and you're going to help me clean this up." He said throw a sponge at her head.
"Oh you're going to get it for that." Grace said running after him.
"Welcome back, is there any chance that we may actually get through this appointment?" The doctor asked.
"Well we hope no one else in our family ends up in the hospital but there's no promises." Lily said.
"Ok, in that case both of you turn on your cell phones and I'll turn on this monitor." The doctor said smiling.
"We already have." Rick said.
"Well let's see what we have here." The doctor said.
"Is that….?" Lily started to say.
"Yes, that's a small head, that's two small heads, three feet…."
"Three?" Rick asked.
"Yes, so I guess there is a congratulations in order for the two of your having twins."
"Twins." Lily said smiling and Rick.
"Yes, twins." Rick said smiling and kissed her.
