"Charity are you sure you want to leave, so soon after getting out of the hospatal" Grace asked ."Aunt Grace, It's great that your worried but it's been 5 days & I really need to get out of here. You promise you won't tell Miguel where I am" she asked. "Of course sweet heart". "Well I think that's it" Charity gasped closing her suitcase. Grace laughed "Well as long as your done, I think Ill go how see Jess is doing. Last time I check she was trying to jam her whole closet into her suit case". Charity laughed "Well we aren`t leaveing till tomorrow". A wave of sadness fell over Grace`s face. "Oh aunt Grace, don`t be upset. We are only going for a week. Me, Jess, & John will be fine. There will be Theresa, Reese, & Fox besides us". "I know sweet heart. I am glad Fox will be there, he has been such a good friend to you". "Thanks aunt Grace" Charity said hugging her aunt. "I better go" Grace said heading out of the door. "Jess, do you need an more help" she heard her call. "Do i ever" Charity heard Jessica answer. Charity smiled to herself and sat on her bed. She though about her up coming trip. When John had asked Theresa she had agreeded. Pilar was to look after Ethan. Reese & Jess were glad they would get some alone time. And then there was Fox. He was being such a sweet heart to her, every day he arrived with pick roses. She picked a roses out of the many vases filling her room. She smelled it and smiled. She remembered the day she came home. Parts were not a sweet as the smell of her room.

"Welcome home Charity" Jessica said rushing to embrace her cousin. "Thanks Jess" Charity said letting Jessica hug her tight.. "Oh Charity we were so scared when we couldn`t find you". Charity saw that Jessica was crying "Jess don`t cry. I`m fine". "I know it`s just that...". ""Oh Jessica, Charity is fine" Reese said takeing his girlfriend into his arms. "I think i`ll go upstarirs and take a hot shower" Charity said pounding up the stairs." Okay Charity. How about I make you guys some hot choclate & strawberry cheese cake. Me & Charity stopped into the new bakery and picked up some. We can have for when Charity is ready". "Yum" John said going into the kitchen followed by David. "That`s sound`s great mom" Jessica said. "Yah Mrs.B" Reese agreeded.
upstairs Charity walked into her bedroom. The last time she had been there she was getting ready for her wedding. But now her dreams weere gone and all she had left to do was move forward every day. She took her pick house and and a towl and headed to the bathroom. When she got out she decided to put on her new pink shrit and hip huggers that Aunt Grace & Jessica had helpped her pick out. She brushed her long blond hair and then walked down stairs. She saw that Grace was now cutting the cake into huge slices. Everyone was still there, except one extra. Fox was sitting at her kitchen table. "Hey Charity your just in time. We just cut the cake & the hot choclate is ready" Grace said. "Thanks Aunt Grace" Charity said walking over to the table where John, Fox, & Reese sat waiting for the cake to be served. Fox looked up and smiled, she smiled back. Then he mouthed 'the living room'. She nodded and left the room "We will be right back Aunt Grace". "Sure hun" Grace said giving David a piece of cake. "Thanks Grace" David said smileing. "Your welcome". Grace smiled back. David had been three for her so much over the last few days. When Charity had been found, When she found out where Sam & Kay where, When she had filed for divorce from Sam
"What is it" Charity
asked. "Hold On Beautiful" Fox laughed. Charity smiled and waited.
Fox walked over to the bench by the door and picked up something. He walked
over to her with his hands behind his back "Okay Beautiful, What hand".
She laughed "Your right". " sorry your wrong" he said sorrowfully.
"Fox"
she laughed. "Okay okay. Here" She gasped. Pink roses. "Fox.
You didn't have to. I still have the ones from the hospital". "There a
day old" he said handing the fresh dozen. "Fox, i cannot believe
you. Your such a sweetie". She put down the flowers and hugged him
tight. Fox stood straight, but then put hi ands on her back and closed
his eyes.'What was this girl doing to him'. "Thank you so much"
she
said pulling away. "You are so welcome" he laughed "Now let`s
go get some cake". "Okay let`s" she agreed. They walked back into the
kitchen. "Wow Charity where did you get the roses" Jessica teased knowing
where they had come from. "Fox" she answered not catching on.
"Aunt Grace do you have another vase".Let me check, Charity" her aunt
said. A minute later the roses where sitting on the counter in a vase "I`ll
have to out them up in my room after" She said sipping her hot chocolate.
