At the Montgomery House:
Meanwhile, Back at the Montgomery house, everybody was in a panic. "Georgia are you sure you checked every where?" asked George, as went over everything that they had found, they had found just about everything but no Grace or Michael.
"Dad, we searched everywhere, the police are now handling this, lets leave it alone." stated Georgia.
"You know George, she's right, we did everything we can and now the police are handling it. Lets just sit back and wait." agreed Gina, as she went over to her husband.
"I know that your right, but I just want my Little Girl back." sighed George before he began to weep for Grace as he sat in the couch.
"We'll find her don't worry, some how we'll find her, and I bet that Michael is with her so we know that she will be alright." explained Gina, as she rubbed her husbands back in comfort.
"Dad, I believe that Mom is right, Grace will be ok, and she will come home and be safe and sound after words." agrees Georgia.
In the Cave:
In the cave Michael went looking for food while Grace sat by the fire and felt the baby kick. "You know, I can't wait to see who this is? I just wish that you father or who I think your father is, could want you as much as I do." says Grace, but she didn't realize that Michael had come back from trying to find food. But was in hiding and was listening to Grace talk.
"Well, I couldn't find any food, so I don't know how we are going to survive." stated Michael as he acted like he just came in.
"Oh, well I guess well have to stay here until somebody finds us." stated Grace, as she leaned her hands in to the fire trying to warm up.
"We can't stay here, and just wait for somebody to come find us, without any food. What about the baby, you can't survive with out any food, I mean I can wait until we get food, but you need food in order for that baby to survive." stated Michael, as he sat down by the fire.
"What do you suppose that we do, we cant find anyway out of this place, I mean we looked all over this wall and the others, we cant find anything. So you tell me what do you suspect that we do?" commented Grace, as she got up form the ground and started to pace.
"I don't know!!! I been trying to think, ever since we got in this position." argued Michael.
"Well, this is just peachy," says Grace, as she slaps her forehead. Then she stops in her tracks and looks in the direction of the way Michael had come. "WAIT! Michael, How far did you go to find food?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Michael, with a puzzled look.
"ARE YOU STUPID? I mean you gone for a pretty long time, right?" asked Grace, as she knelt down in front of Michael.
"Yeah," says Michael as she goes a long with Grace's logic.
"Well think about how far does this cave go, I mean there could be another exit in the god forsaken cave." replied Grace as she gets up and moves to the spot that Michael came from.
"You know your right, let's get going, but wait! Are you sure you can make it? With you being pregnant and all I don't want to put the baby or you in danger." replied Michael, as he stood next to her.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, and plus I'm not your concern." Grace replied as she started of through out the cave.
"Wait, what do you mean your not my concern?" asked Michael, as he caught up to Grace.
"Well let me see here, I mean that you abandoned that right when you told me that you wanted to give this child up for adoption." responded Grace as she climbed over a rock.
"Well that doesn't mean that I don't still care about you!" argued Michael, as he walked behind Grace.
"I guess it doesn't but it means that you don't give a stupid rats behind about this baby. Then how am I suppose to know that you haven't lied to me about everything else before." says Grace as she turns to face Michael, then takes a step and falls in a cliff. "MICHAEL, HELP ME!!!" screams Grace as she holds on to the edge.
"GRACE????!!!!!!" yells Michael as he jumps/flies to catch her hand before she plummets down the cliff.
"Michael, I'm slipping, Help me please." begs Grace, as she fears that she is not going to make it.
"Grace, hold on." pleads Michael, as he grabs her hands. "I'm going to pull you up, so hold on to my hands tightly."
"Ok, but hurry up, I'm slipping." cries Grace, as hold on to Michael's hands.
"Now on three, I'm going yank, ready, 1.....2......3..." says Michael as he yanks Grace with all his might and they both go flying back words and Grace ends up on top of Michael, when he is on his back.
"Grace?" asks Michael, as he wonders if she is all right.
"I'm fine," cries Grace, as she gets up from on top of Michael.
"Your not fine Grace, what's wrong?" asks Michael as he moves toward Grace's huddled form.
"I want to go home, I hate it here, I should have never left and I should have never slept with you." cried Grace, as she put her head in between her knees.
"You never wanted to sleep with me," says Michael with an angry tone.
"Let face it Michael, you wouldn't be here right now, if it wasn't for this baby. You would be with another girl, you and I both know it. But now you have an obligation, which is this baby, which you never wanted in the first place. Now you have it and now you feel you have to face it. Well I don't need you help, I take care of this baby with or with out your help." argues Grace, as she goes to the edge of the cliff and tries to figure a way over it.
Michael just sits there trying to understand what she had just said, was Grace right and did he feel that this baby was just an obligation? OR was it something that he wanted?
"Look Michael, you and I both know that we do not want to be near each other right now. Now lets just find away out of here, and then we can go our separate ways and don't have to see each other ever again." stated Grace, as she looks over the cliff, afraid that she might fall.
"Grace, I.." started Michael as he went over to Grace. Trying to explain himself for what she just said that was true about his feelings.
"Save it Michael, I don't want to hear your sorry excuses." whispered Grace. "I just want to get out of here."
"So do I, well let just see how we can get over this cliff." agreed Michael, as he looked around for something to use.
"We could jump over to the other ledge," stated Grace, as she measured the distance. "It's that easy, no sweat."
"No SWEAT? Grace you have to be kidding me! There is no way you are going to jump that cliff. There are so many dangers that you could go through. There is no way I'm going to let you jump that cliff with you being pregnant. Are you sure that you not kidding me?" asked Michael, as he through his hands up in the air. "Do you really think that I'm going to let you jump that...that...thing? You have to be crazy to jump that thing! Your pregnant Grace do you really want to hurt yourself or the baby?"
"No, but who's going to stop me?" replied Grace as she starts to walk backwards.
"NO!!! Grace I can't let you do that.." argued Michael, as she stopped in her tracks.
"What ever..." shrugged Grace, as she took of at high speed and jumped the ledge.
"GRACE????!!!!!" yelled Michael as he watched Grace fly over the gully, worried that she might injure herself or their child that she was carrying.
Grace landed on the other side with no sweat she turns around in triumph. "Ok, Michael it's you turn...." smiled Grace.
"Are you kidding me, who do you take me for? a nut case?" replied Michael.
"Ok, fine then I'll just go on with out you, and when I finally get out I'll send somebody with a ladder to help you over. Then again people will know that Michael Aino is a big fat looser. Who couldn't jump a cliff when he was trapped in a cave, when is ex-girlfriend could do the exact same jump while she is pregnant none the less." says Grace as she is standing there tapping her foot waiting for an answer.
"You just had to say that now didn't you? You just had to say something that I'm going to really hate just to get me motivated." glared Michael, he turned around to walk to get ready to jump over the gully.
"Well lets go then..." giggled Grace.
"Ok, here I go..." whispers Michael just before he took off at high speed and landed on the edge of the other side of the cliff. "Aaaahhhhhhh, I'm going to fall."
Grace grabbed him by his shirt collar and yanked him all the way on the ground. "Wimp, You could never do what I could do, now lets go." Grace simply stated, as she walked in the other direction.
"You know I just wasn't ready for that jump, that's the reason why I needed you help, other wise I didn't. I could do it just as well as you could, probably ten times better." replied Michael, as he brushed himself off.
"Sure, Just like I'm Jennifer Anniston, who's going to marry Brad Pitt." commented Grace, as she brushed a piece of long blonde hair out of her face. "I wish I could do something with this hair of mine."
"Well you could have it chopped off when we get out of here. Then you wont have to worry about it anymore." commented Michael, as he chuckled at the thought of her with short hair.
"Michael, me cutting my hair, would be like me giving up this baby!" replied Grace, as she started to braid her hair by throughing it over her shoulder and braiding if then looking for grass or something to tie it back with. Grace found a piece of thread in her pocket, so she used that to tie back her hair. "Finally, some freedom."
"We should rest, to save our energy, since we are going to probably have to walk a great distance more." replied Michael, as he sat on a rock to catch his breath. "Plus you need a few hours rest, so you can recuperate...that baby must be really heavy."
"Well you can sit here and rest, I'm going to find the food." Responded Grace, as she walks in the other direction looking for food.
"Grace, I'll be the one who will be looking for the food around here, while you sit down." replies Michael, as he jogged after her.
"Why, I can do just as much as you can," argued Grace as she continues to walk, "Do you that I'm less capable then you are because I'm a girl?"
"Well, it's no that, it's...um...because that your pregnant, and I don't want you to fall and hurt your self." argued Michael, as he grabbed her arm.
"Oh, so now you care about the baby," chuckled Grace, as she struggled to have Michael let go of her arm.
"I have always cared about that baby plus I have cared about you." seethed Michael.
"I don't care if you still care about me, I can take care of myself, but I do care that you now give a flying rats behind about this baby, when before when you didn't care if this baby went down along with me in the ravine. God knows that now you want this baby, because it's yours, it doesn't matter whether, I'm here or not!" argued Grace. "You want to get rid of me, after I have this baby, so you are trying to keep me alive as long as you can. Then when the baby comes, you'll get ride of me lack an old pair of shoes. Well let me tell you Michael, you are never going to see me or this baby ever again. That is when we get out of this stupid cave that you so lovingly got us into."
"Where did you here that? I never wanted to get ride of you just so I could have this baby all to my self. Since when did you think that?" questioned Michael, as he gripped her arm even tighter.
"Let me go you annoying, self centered, arrogant, racist, pompous jerk!" screamed Grace, as she slapped him.
"Grace, don't you ever slap me again, do you understand?" whispered Michael, as he grabbed both her arms and shook her roughly.
"Michael, do you understand that if you don't let me go, that I'm going to file a law suit against you? When I get out of this God forsaken cave." replied Grace, as she kneed him in the groin.
"Owww, What the hell was that for? You bitch, you are going to pay for that." whispered Michael in pain.
"What are you going to do? Throw a rock at me, or push me off the cliff. You tell me Michael, I would really hate to tell you this, but I don't want to have to hurt you." replied Grace as backs away from him.
Michael grabs Grace's arm faster then she could back away from him, and he replies "You could never hurt me, You know that and I know that, how in the world could you possibly hurt me?"
"I think the reason would be because your brother taught me and so did mine for that matter." commented Grace, as she punches him in the face and knees him in the groin, then she high kicks across the face.
Michael falls back words across the floor from the force of the punches and kicks that Grace had delivered. "You are seriously going to pay for that," spats Michael as he gets up from the floor and backhands Grace across the face. Grace falls to the floor and looks up at him. Michael undoes his belt, and Grace looks at him with wide eyes wondering 'What in the world he is going to do with that?'
Grace stumbles to get up and move away from him. Michael was faster once he go his belt off, then he grabbed Grace, took both her arms and pinned them across her back. Then Michael took his belt and tied her hands together.
"Michael what on earth are you doing to me?" yelled Grace in anger as she moved her hands about while he was tying them together.
"I'm making sure that you don't get away, and do something drastic, so that later on you'll regret it." replied Michael, as she shoved her against a rock and runs a hand a long her face then through her hair. Michael looks in to her pale green eyes and sighs then grips a handful of hair and yanks her head backwards.
"We could have been happy together you know, but then you had to go and make that ridiculous comment." grinned Michael, as he could see Grace's eyes well up with tears, from the pain.
"I would have never been happy with you, I would rather be with your brother." whispers Grace as she looks into his eyes and spits in his face. Grace gasps when she realized what she had just said.
"Which 'BROTHER' would that be, my dear?" asks Michael as he release his hand from her head. "You know I have 3, let me guess, is it Mitchell, no it can't be Mitch he's to young. I know it's Seiji, not that wouldn't work at all he's way to old for you. I know, it's most definitely Matthew, it has to be I mean look were the same age and we do look a like. So tell me is it Matt, or isn't it? Tell me if I'm wrong."
Grace just sat there staring at him, not know what to say to him. She knew that he was right, in what he was saying that she wanted to be with Matt and Matt wanted to be with her. But Matt had told her to stay with Michael, since it was most likely going to be his child.
"I'm right aren't I?" asked Michael, as he had tears welling up in his blue eyes. "You know Grace, I do love you, I would have stayed with you through this whole thing. I might have even changed my mined about keeping the baby, but now that you have stabbed me in the back. I don't know what to do with you, I might as well just leave you here and go back to tell everyone that you died."
"You wouldn't dare, you love me to much to do that Michael, Matthew will come looking for me, if you do leave me here. You and I both know that, now don't we? You also hate the idea that you can't have me, that your twin brother is the one who had me first. You can't live with the idea that this baby might not be yours, that it might be your brother's." replied Grace, as she struggles against the bounds and when she couldn't get out she stares up at Michael in disgust.
"You know my dear, struggling is just going to make it worse." smiled Michael, as he runs a finger a long her jaw. You know I'll tell you what I'm going to do, when we get out of here, I'm going to run away with you, I'll put you in a safe place and leave you there to go tell your parents that you died in a tragic cliff falling. Then I'm going to help them pack your stuff, you know the usual clothes, mamentoes, and all the other personal belongings."
"Why would you do that? I thought you loved me, I don't want to leave my family. Why would you do this to me?" questioned Grace as she struggled to get up on her feet to kill him.
"Whoa, sit down Honey, You know you can't hurt me like that." stated Michael, as he shoved her back down, against the rock.
"Owww, Michael." cried Grace, as she hunches over in pain.
"Oh come on you barely hit the rock." complained Michael, as he turned his back.
"Its not that...Michael..." whispered Grace as she took deep breaths.
"What is it then?" groaned Michael, knowing that he didn't want to deal with this right now.
"Michael, I...think...it...might be the...baby..." groaned Grace in pain.
"The what?" panicked Michael as he came to her side. "Are you sure? It's to early, this can't be happening?"
"Oh I'm sure," screamed Grace in pain.
"What? You told me that you were about seven months along." stated Michael as he was pacing back and forth.
"I told you I could be wrong, You know that we have been with each other more then once. Oh god here comes another one, Michael please help me," cried Grace as she arched her back in pain.
"Grace let me get this belt off, Come on Gracie, I need you to turn over." says Michael in a soothing voice, as he tries to roll her over on her stomach.
"Michael it hurts to much, get this belt off me please," cries Grace, as tears came to her eyes.
"Here let me help you move over on your side." responds Michael as he then takes to belt off and lays her on her back.
"Thank you, but my stomach still hurts, I need to get out of here." whispers Grace, as she puts her hands on her stomach.
At the Aino's House:
At the Aino's House, Matthew was in his room thinking about Grace and what he should do. After all he was the father of the child that Grace was carrying and he had Grace have Michael think that it was his child. Although he knew that it was his, he just wanted Grace to be happy. Matthew knew that Grace wanted to be with him and not Michael, but he thought it was the right thing to do. Grace had been gone for over two weeks and so had Michael. Matthew hoped that Michael was with Grace and that she was okay.
"Matthew, can I come in?" asked Miranda Aino as she knocked on the door, Matthew's 14-year-old sister. Miranda was daddy's girl, was about 5'4" and had light brown hair and green eyes like Matthew's.
"Sure," replied Matthew, as he got up and opened the door, then went back to laying on his bed.
"You could tell me what's bugging you, you have been in this room for 2 weeks and haven't done a thing." commented Miranda, as she sat with him on the bed.
"I can't tell you, you wouldn't understand what is 'bugging me' as you put it." says Matthew as he got up, got his jacket and went outside.
Miranda flew on to his bed and looked up at the ceiling in great stress.
Matthew went walking around the neighborhood, thinking about Grace. Without realizing it Matthew had walked right to the treehouse. Matthew climbed right up and sat in the corner that Grace and him as spent many happy times. Where he had found Grace's jacket, and then figured that Grace might have been here...then where did she go. Matthew climbed back down and went into the woods.
At the Montgomery House:
At the Montgomery house Georgia was cooking dinner, since her mother distraught over Grace being missing.
"Gia, have you seen your mother?" questioned George as he walked in the back door.
"Up stairs, resting since she is so depressed." replied Georgia, as she mashed potatoes and threw some butter in.
"Thanks," says George as he heads upstairs to see his wife.
Georgia put the potatoes in the stove and then went over to the chicken in the oven. When she was doing this Matthew walked in through the back door and knocked on the door.
"Can I come in?" asked Matthew as he knocked on the door.
"Yeah, sure Matt, just give me a minute to turn this chicken." replied Georgia, as she put them back in the oven.
"Um Georgia can I talk to you?" asked Matthew as he sat down at the bar.
"Sure, lets talk." agreed Georgia as she leaned against the counter.
For the next few hours Matthew and Georgia talked about his problem with loving Grace, her being gone, and the baby being his.
Meanwhile, Back at the Montgomery house, everybody was in a panic. "Georgia are you sure you checked every where?" asked George, as went over everything that they had found, they had found just about everything but no Grace or Michael.
"Dad, we searched everywhere, the police are now handling this, lets leave it alone." stated Georgia.
"You know George, she's right, we did everything we can and now the police are handling it. Lets just sit back and wait." agreed Gina, as she went over to her husband.
"I know that your right, but I just want my Little Girl back." sighed George before he began to weep for Grace as he sat in the couch.
"We'll find her don't worry, some how we'll find her, and I bet that Michael is with her so we know that she will be alright." explained Gina, as she rubbed her husbands back in comfort.
"Dad, I believe that Mom is right, Grace will be ok, and she will come home and be safe and sound after words." agrees Georgia.

"Michael, do you understand that if you don't let me go, that I'm going to file a law suit against you? When I get out of this God forsaken cave." replied Grace, as she kneed him in the groin.
"Owww, What the hell was that for? You bitch, you are going to pay for that." whispered Michael in pain.
"What are you going to do? Throw a rock at me, or push me off the cliff. You tell me Michael, I would really hate to tell you this, but I don't want to have to hurt you." replied Grace as backs away from him.
Michael grabs Grace's arm faster then she could back away from him, and he replies "You could never hurt me, You know that and I know that, how in the world could you possibly hurt me?"
"I think the reason would be because your brother taught me and so did mine for that matter." commented Grace, as she punches him in the face and knees him in the groin, then she high kicks across the face.
Michael falls back words across the floor from the force of the punches and kicks that Grace had delivered. "You are seriously going to pay for that," spats Michael as he gets up from the floor and backhands Grace across the face. Grace falls to the floor and looks up at him. Michael undoes his belt, and Grace looks at him with wide eyes wondering 'What in the world he is going to do with that?'
Grace stumbles to get up and move away from him. Michael was faster once he go his belt off, then he grabbed Grace, took both her arms and pinned them across her back. Then Michael took his belt and tied her hands together.
"Michael what on earth are you doing to me?" yelled Grace in anger as she moved her hands about while he was tying them together.
"I'm making sure that you don't get away, and do something drastic, so that later on you'll regret it." replied Michael, as she shoved her against a rock and runs a hand a long her face then through her hair. Michael looks in to her pale green eyes and sighs then grips a handful of hair and yanks her head backwards.
"We could have been happy together you know, but then you had to go and make that ridiculous comment." grinned Michael, as he could see Grace's eyes well up with tears, from the pain.
"I would have never been happy with you, I would rather be with your brother." whispers Grace as she looks into his eyes and spits in his face. Grace gasps when she realized what she had just said.
"Which 'BROTHER' would that be, my dear?" asks Michael as he release his hand from her head. "You know I have 3, let me guess, is it Mitchell, no it can't be Mitch he's to young. I know it's Seiji, not that wouldn't work at all he's way to old for you. I know, it's most definitely Matthew, it has to be I mean look were the same age and we do look a like. So tell me is it Matt, or isn't it? Tell me if I'm wrong."
Grace just sat there staring at him, not know what to say to him. She knew that he was right, in what he was saying that she wanted to be with Matt and Matt wanted to be with her. But Matt had told her to stay with Michael, since it was most likely going to be his child.
"I'm right aren't I?" asked Michael, as he had tears welling up in his blue eyes. "You know Grace, I do love you, I would have stayed with you through this whole thing. I might have even changed my mined about keeping the baby, but now that you have stabbed me in the back. I don't know what to do with you, I might as well just leave you here and go back to tell everyone that you died."
"You wouldn't dare, you love me to much to do that Michael, Matthew will come looking for me, if you do leave me here. You and I both know that, now don't we? You also hate the idea that you can't have me, that your twin brother is the one who had me first. You can't live with the idea that this baby might not be yours, that it might be your brother's." replied Grace, as she struggles against the bounds and when she couldn't get out she stares up at Michael in disgust.
"You know my dear, struggling is just going to make it worse." smiled Michael, as he runs a finger a long her jaw. You know I'll tell you what I'm going to do, when we get out of here, I'm going to run away with you, I'll put you in a safe place and leave you there to go tell your parents that you died in a tragic cliff falling. Then I'm going to help them pack your stuff, you know the usual clothes, mamentoes, and all the other personal belongings."
"Why would you do that? I thought you loved me, I don't want to leave my family. Why would you do this to me?" questioned Grace as she struggled to get up on her feet to kill him.
"Whoa, sit down Honey, You know you can't hurt me like that." stated Michael, as he shoved her back down, against the rock.
"Owww, Michael." cried Grace, as she hunches over in pain.
"Oh come on you barely hit the rock." complained Michael, as he turned his back.
"Its not that...Michael..." whispered Grace as she took deep breaths.
"What is it then?" groaned Michael, knowing that he didn't want to deal with this right now.
"Michael, I...think...it...might be the...baby..." groaned Grace in pain.
"The what?" panicked Michael as he came to her side. "Are you sure? It's to early, this can't be happening?"
"Oh I'm sure," screamed Grace in pain.
"What? You told me that you were about seven months along." stated Michael as he was pacing back and forth.
"I told you I could be wrong, You know that we have been with each other more then once. Oh god here comes another one, Michael please help me," cried Grace as she arched her back in pain.
"Grace let me get this belt off, Come on Gracie, I need you to turn over." says Michael in a soothing voice, as he tries to roll her over on her stomach.
"Michael it hurts to much, get this belt off me please," cries Grace, as tears came to her eyes.
"Here let me help you move over on your side." responds Michael as he then takes to belt off and lays her on her back.
"Thank you, but my stomach still hurts, I need to get out of here." whispers Grace, as she puts her hands on her stomach.
At the Aino's House:
At the Aino's House, Matthew was in his room thinking about Grace and what he should do. After all he was the father of the child that Grace was carrying and he had Grace have Michael think that it was his child. Although he knew that it was his, he just wanted Grace to be happy. Matthew knew that Grace wanted to be with him and not Michael, but he thought it was the right thing to do. Grace had been gone for over two weeks and so had Michael. Matthew hoped that Michael was with Grace and that she was okay.
"Matthew, can I come in?" asked Miranda Aino as she knocked on the door, Matthew's 14-year-old sister. Miranda was daddy's girl, was about 5'4" and had light brown hair and green eyes like Matthew's.
"Sure," replied Matthew, as he got up and opened the door, then went back to laying on his bed.
"You could tell me what's bugging you, you have been in this room for 2 weeks and haven't done a thing." commented Miranda, as she sat with him on the bed.
"I can't tell you, you wouldn't understand what is 'bugging me' as you put it." says Matthew as he got up, got his jacket and went outside.
Miranda flew on to his bed and looked up at the ceiling in great stress.
Matthew went walking around the neighborhood, thinking about Grace. Without realizing it Matthew had walked right to the treehouse. Matthew climbed right up and sat in the corner that Grace and him as spent many happy times. Where he had found Grace's jacket, and then figured that Grace might have been here...then where did she go. Matthew climbed back down and went into the woods.
At the Montgomery House:
At the Montgomery house Georgia was cooking dinner, since her mother distraught over Grace being missing.
"Gia, have you seen your mother?" questioned George as he walked in the back door.
"Up stairs, resting since she is so depressed." replied Georgia, as she mashed potatoes and threw some butter in.
"Thanks," says George as he heads upstairs to see his wife.
Georgia put the potatoes in the stove and then went over to the chicken in the oven. When she was doing this Matthew walked in through the back door and knocked on the door.
"Can I come in?" asked Matthew as he knocked on the door.
"Yeah, sure Matt, just give me a minute to turn this chicken." replied Georgia, as she put them back in the oven.
"Um Georgia can I talk to you?" asked Matthew as he sat down at the bar.
"Sure, lets talk." agreed Georgia as she leaned against the counter.
For the next few hours Matthew and Georgia talked about his problem with loving Grace, her being gone, and the baby being his.
