~A Once and Again Series~
Where Do We Go From Here?
Thanks for reading, as always. P.s. Deanna's name is pronounced De-Anna... by the way, and not Dean-Na. It doesn't really matter, but I just felt like telling you that. I'm weird...okay, I'll shut up. Thanks for the reviews, also!
p.s. So far the memory flashbacks have been all nicey nice... but soon, Deanna will enter them! Not yet, but soon!
Chapter 13//Getting Emotional
Grace tightened her arms around herself, wanting to take up as little space in this world as she could. She wanted to be invisible.
She heard the back door opened, and Grace knew it was probably Rick and Eli coming home from work. Grace didn't want to see Eli right now.... She just kept seeing Deanna's happy naïve smile. Grace had once liked Deanna before she learned that Eli was seeing Deanna behind her back. But, of course, Grace had no real reason to hate Deanna.... Deanna hadn't known Eli and Grace were dating when she hooked up with Eli. Eli and Grace had kept their relationship secret from everyone.
But, still, it had hurt to see Deanna, so happy... not knowing that Grace and Eli had broken up because of her. She had no clue that her little fling with Eli had caused Eli and Grace's relationship to end.... because Deanna hadn't known there was a relationship between them in the first place.
Grace listened and was relieved when she heard Eli going into the garage. She and Eli were back together now... Grace had forgiven Eli.... or at least she thought she had. So, seeing Deanna shouldn't cause so much pain, right? Wrong.
"Grace?" Rick asked, as he entered the living room and saw her huddled on the couch. The TV was on, but Rick could see she hadn't really been watching it.
Grace looked over at him, and Rick was stunned to see tears in her eyes.
"Grace? Are you okay? Is it... the baby?" Rick asked frantically. He moved towards her.
Grace shook her head numbly. "It's nothing. I guess I'm just getting emotional... because of the extra hormones pregnant woman get."
Rick didn't know whether to accept this excuse. He looked down at Grace, who looked so tiny... so young. And yet... she was going to be a mother. Rick sat down next to her on the couch, and they both pretended to be watching the talk show that was on.
Finally Rick looked at Grace out of the corner of his eye. Her tears had dried, but her face had a hollow look to it. "You can talk to me, you know...." Rick said, and he felt Grace's eyes on him. He looked at her directly. "About anything."
Grace nodded, her gaze falling to the floor. "Yeah, but..."
"But what?" Rick prodded.
"You'd tell my mother," Grace tried to joke, but her smile wouldn't form.
"Not necessarily," Rick said with a sigh. He thought of the kiss between Grace and Eli he had witnessed, and of seeing Grace sneak out of Eli's room late at night.... and of the nagging suspicion that there was something more between his son and Grace. He hadn't spoken a word of his thoughts to his wife. "I've been known to keep a few things from Lily."
Grace nodded, thinking he was just talking about the kiss. "Thanks, by the way," She said.
Rick smiled, but it quickly fell away. "Grace?" He began, knowing he should really get to the bottom of whether Grace and Eli were dating....... and if Eli was the father to her child. "I wanted to talk to you about...."
The front door clicked open, and Rick stopped. He and Grace looked over their shoulders as Lily and Zoe wandered in.
"Mom, that's so not fair!" Zoe was complaining. "All the other kids get to go!"
"Zoe, you're too young to go to a party like that... you're only 12!" Lily said sharply. She looked over at the couch and smiled at Grace and Rick.
Grace stood up, looking at Rick briefly, wondering what he had been about to say to her, but knowing it would have to wait.
"Grace, wait till you see what I got!" Lily said excitedly.
Zoe stood behind her mother, and waited for Lily to continue the discussion they had been having all the way home from the store, but Lily was too busy showing Grace the cute little baby clothes she had purchased.
Zoe groaned, and stomped off up the stairs to her room. Lily didn't even notice.
* * *
"Grace?" Eli asked, as he knocked on Grace's closed door.
Jessie, walking up the stairs, looked at her brother curiously. "She's not there," Jessie said as Eli began to knock again.
Eli turned, seeing Jessie. "She's not?"
Jessie shook her head, a little confused that Eli didn't already know this... he was dating Grace, after all. "She went to her father's for the weekend."
"Really?" Eli asked, surprised. He swung Grace's door open, and sure enough it was empty.
"She didn't tell you?" Jessie couldn't help but ask.
Eli reclosed the door and began to head down the stairs, not answering Jessie.
"E?" Jess called after him.
Eli stopped, looking at his sister.
"Is everything alright between you two?" Jessie asked quietly, as you never knew where prying ears were listening in.
"We're fine," Eli said with a shrug. He continued down the stairs and mumbled to himself, "Or at least I thought we were."
* * *
"You sure you want to stay here? You could come to the bookstore," Jake asked, as he paused at the doorway.
Grace looked up, shifting Maddy, so the baby didn't pull at her hair. "No, I think I'd rather stay here." There was no way Grace was going to go to the bookstore, where she'd be apt to run in.... Deanna.
"Are you sure? Tiff and I usually take Maddy with us to work... You might have more fun over there," Jake pressed.
Grace shook her head, assuring her dad, "No, I'll stay here... Maddy and I can play with her toys, or watch a movie."
"Okay, bye sweetie," Jake said, and left.
Grace sat down on the couch, holding Maddy in her lap. The one and a half year old looked at her curiously.
"Fun?" Maddy asked in her sweet little voice.
"Yes, we'll have fun..." Grace promised her, kissing her soft little cheek.
* * *
Eli didn't know what to do. He didn't understand why Grace hadn't told him about going to her father's for the weekend. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to call her, or to go see her... but was he overreacting? Grace had only gone to her Jake's for the weekend... it wasn't like she had run away or something. So, why was Eli so concerned? Just because she hadn't told him about it?
Eli sighed, and shifted on his bed. He would just wait till she got back... and talk to her then. Then Grace would explain everything, and he would get this awful notion that something was wrong off his back. Because nothing was wrong... right?
Eli was so glad he and Grace had finally gotten back together. He always knew they had chemistry... it wasn't a question of that. Even when they had broken up... and Grace had been furious at him, because of... Deanna, there had been no denying that the chemistry... attraction, whatever you wanted to call it, still remained. And so, they had found their way back into each other's arms time after time.... but they had been careful to make sure that just because they were being intimate didn't mean they were back together.
And now they were back together. But....
Eli sighed again. Everything was too complicated. He closed his eyes, shutting the world out.
[[[[...Start of memory flashback]]]]
Eli turned, grabbing Grace's arm, stopping her. Grace raised her eyebrows and shook her head.
"They're all in the next room," She whispered warningly... but her eyes were green lights saying 'go'.
Eli leaned in, sneaking a slow lingering kiss. From where they stood in the kitchen, they could hear everyone in the living room.
"Grace? Can you bring some napkins back too?" Lily called.
Grace broke from Eli's lips looking at him with a wide smile. "We need napkins," She whispered.
The microwave beeped, signaling the popcorn was done. Eli went over and took it out, carefully emptying it into a bowl. Grace watched him with a smile. They had been secretly dating for over a month now. Grace had started her senior year, and everything just seemed perfect. Grace was in love.
Eli turned around, and caught her eyes on him. He smiled.
"Grace?" Lily called.
"Almost done!" Grace called back, rolling her eyes. She moved to the counter, opening a cabinet. She took out a stack of napkins and she and Eli walked back into the living room. Lily, Rick, Zoe, Jessie, and Katie were all clustered on the couch, chairs and the floor, engrossed in a movie.
Grace handed over the popcorn after taking a handful and napkins reluctantly... thinking she should have made two or three bags of the stuff. She and Eli sank down on the floor. Grace watched the movie with a lack of interest. If her mother hadn't insisted on them having a "Family Night"- Grace knew she and Eli would be alone right now.
Grace didn't understand exactly why the "Family Night" included Katie... but whatever. Finally the end credits rolled. Grace stood up, looking over at her mother, who was heavily pregnant... the empty bowl of popcorn was resting on her round belly.
"That was a great movie," Grace said cheerfully. "I have homework, though. So, I'll be at the... library."
"Yeah, I've got practice," Eli added, standing up also.
"But, that was only the first movie! We still have two others!" Lily complained.
"Oh, sorry, mom..." Grace said, backing out of the room.
"Yeah, sorry," Eli added.
Grace hesitated in the doorway to the kitchen. The next movie was already playing, and everyone's attention was back on the screen. Grace smiled and grabbed Eli's hand and they escaped into the Saturday evening air.
"We're free!" Grace cried out, delighted in the nice slightly chilly October weather.
Eli smiled at her outburst, and grabbed her up in his arms, "Where do you think we should go?"
"I don't care...anywhere!" Grace laughed.
They got into Eli's car. They drove around aimlessly, finally ending up at a small park on the waterfront. They walked around, strolling with their hands clasped... like a young couple in love.

"Dad?" Grace asked into the phone.
"We're really busy here, Grace..." Jake said on his end.
"So, did you want me to watch Maddy longer?" Grace asked, looking over at toddler, who was playing on the living room floor.
"No, you said that there was a big dinner at your mother's tonight, right?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, but... I can miss it," Grace said hopefully. Judy, Sam, and Karen and her boyfriend Henry were coming to dinner at the house. Grace didn't understand the reasoning of this... but it was happening anyways. But, maybe Grace could miss out on the suffering... maybe.
"No, no..." Jake argued. "Just, swing by and drop off Maddy, and then go, okay?"
"But... I don't have a car seat," Grace edged hopefully.
"It should be in the closet," Jake said, crushing her hopes.
"Alright," Grace resigned. "See you in a bit."
"Maddy! We're going for a car ride!" Grace said after hanging up the phone with faked enthusiasm. Maddy looked at her with a winning smile. Grace couldn't resist smiling back.
* * *
"Hi Madeline!" Jake said with a grin as he took Maddy from Grace's arms.
"I'll go get the car seat," Grace said, turning back to the entrance.
"Alright," Jake said, distracted as he kissed Maddy's cheeks.
Grace hurried out to the car, and unbuckled the car seat. She started pulling it out of the back of the car and stopped in surprise as a voice called out to her.
"Grace!"
Grace turned. She should have expected to see Deanna here. She had just been hoping that she could make it in and out in the five minutes it would take her at most without running into Deanna..... but it was not her lucky day.
Deanna walked towards her, obviously on a cigarette break. She noticed Grace noticing the cigarette and tossed it to the ground, crushing it with the toe of her shoe. "I quit," Deanna said guiltily. She smiled, "OKAY... I'm trying to quit."
Grace didn't smile back. She turned back to the car, just wanting to get the car seat out and get the hell out of here.
"Grace?" Deanna asked in confusion. She walked closer. "What's the matter?"
Grace glanced back, "Nothing."
"Then, why aren't you talking to me?" Deanna asked with a laugh. "Is it because of the smoking? Because I AM seriously trying to quit."
Grace rolled her eyes as she looked into the interior of her car. She managed a polite face when she turned back and looked at Deanna. "It's not that."
"Then what is it?" Deanna asked, "I mean... we're friends, right?"
Grace laughed in her head. Out loud she said, "I don't think so."
Deanna's face wrinkled up, confused. "Okay, yeah... we haven't really talked since I left work here... but I mean, we're not enemies, right?" She joked.
Grace was silent.
Deanna shook her head, her long black hair flying in the light wind. "Grace, you are truly the most confusing person I know!"
"You don't know me," Grace said quietly, not expecting Deanna to hear, but she did.
"Grace?" Deanna said, pleadingly. "What's up?"
"It's nothing," Grace said, turning away. She yanked the car seat out of her car, and walked towards the entrance to Booklover's. Deanna trailed after her.
"Is it because of Eli?" Deanna asked in a hushed whisper as they entered the doors.
"No!" Grace snapped. She went and deposited the car seat in her father's office, giving him and Maddy a quick goodbye kiss. Deanna was waiting for her as she exited the office.
"Grace... because I don't think you understand what happened between Eli and me..." Deanna said as she followed Grace's hurried pace out of the store.
"Oh, really?" Grace asked coldly as they stepped back outside.
"I know you look out for him... because he's your stepbrother," Deanna continued. "But, you don't know the whole story."
"Look, whatever, Deanna," Grace said as she opened her Honda's door, "I don't really care."
She got into the car, and closed the door with a slam. Deanna stared at her as she started up the car, and Grace hightailed it out of there as fast as could....
Grace couldn't believe Deanna.... the girl had NO clue that Grace had been dating Eli when Deanna started seeing him too! She had NO clue at all the pain she had caused Grace! None at all!
