"Hello?" Peg asked as she entered the house.
No one answered.
"Anyone home? Rick? Eli? Jessie? Lily? Grace Zoe? Barbara?"
Still no one answered.
Peg put her stuff down in the living room. "Ok I guess, I'll wait." She said sitting down.
"You should have seen the two of them…" Barbara started to say.
"Well I'd like to say in my own defense, she was trying to annoy me." Lily said.
"I know what that's like." Grace said laughing.
"That's all she'd ever say "It's her fault." Judy said. "But it wasn't!"
"I know how you feel." Zoe said.
Jake walked in. "Is there any chance that I can get any of you to help me?"
Judy got up. "Sorry guys I'm being called away."
"And so am I." Grace said getting up and walking over to the door where Eli was standing. "How long have you been here?"
He looked at his watch "Um 10… 15…"
"Why didn't you say something?" Jessie asked.
"The stories were good." He said smiling.
Lily got up. "Your father will never hear about them right?"
"What do I get for not telling him?" He asked.
"Life." She said smiling.
"Sounds like a deal. Come on, Grace let's go."
"Be back by eleven." Lily screamed.
"Good night." Henry whispered as he started to get out of the bed.
Karen grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I just want you to stay." She said drowsily.
"Fine but once the medicine kicks in you will not even know I'm here."
"I know but I can tell you're here now." She said smiling.
"Ok, I'll stay until you fall asleep." Henry said getting back in bed.
"I'm." She said smiling.
"Where exactly are we going?" Grace asked as she got into the car.
"Home." Eli said.
"No! I'm not going home." Grace said annoyed.
"Wait clam down. I mean my other home, my mother's home."
Grace relaxed. "Ok, I'm calm now. Now why are we going to your mother's house?"
"So we can watch a movie in silence." He said smiling.
"Sounds like a good plan, but what about your mother?"
"We will not bother her plus I want to check on her."
"You are such a good son." Grace said smiling.
"Don't ever repeat that to anyone."
"So have you set a date?" Rick asked as he took a sip of his drink.
"Ok you must be really be drunk because that's the fifth time you've asked me that." Sam said laughing.
"So what if I am? And you still haven't answered me, that's why I keep asking." He said also laughing.
"Let's stay here." Sam pleaded ignoring Rick's comment.
"My wife and your fiancée would kill us." Rick said.
"Didn't we agree to leave our comments at home?" Sam asked annoyed.
"Yes, but I to go home to mine."
"Your son's right we are pitiful." Sam said sadly.
"It's pretty bad if my non-collage, guitar playing, pot-smoking son thinks we're the pitiful ones." Rick said laughing.
"Well buddy, get a cab, we need to go home." Sam said putting his arm around Rick.
"Lily? Zoe? Grace? Rick? Eli? Jessie?" Barbara asked as she came into the house.
"Barbara?" Peg asked as she got up and came into the kitchen.
"Peg?" Barbara asked smiling.
"Finally someone gets home, I was beginning to think I had the wrong house." She said also smiling.
"Grandma?" Jessie said as she came running in the house and hugged her.
"I guess I don't." She said smiling at Lily and Zoe as they also entered.
"Where's your brother?" Peg asked Jessie. "Band rehearsal?"
Jessie smiled. "He's out with his girlfriend."
Peg looked at Zoe and then at Jessie whom were both smiling. "Ok who's his girlfriend?" Peg looked at Lily.
"Remember Grace?"
Peg nodded.
"That's his girlfriend."
Peg looked at Barbara. "Why didn't you mention this to me?"
Zoe looked out the window, not really paying much attention when she saw Jamie heading to Grace's room. Zoe headed out to the house and no one noticed.
