"So, how did you go?"
"Not bad. She accepted it." Marcus stretched his legs on the couch, conveniently placing his feet in Grace's lap. "No knife or gun pulled on me."
Grace looked at him. "You must have been lucky." She leant over to poke his ribs. He caught her arm and pulled the blond headed McLeod closer to him.
"Hoy, get off!" She swatted at his hand on her arm, and then leant over and kissed him. "What if Ingrid walked in?"
"And what if she did?" A new voice. Marcus and Grace both jumped up in alarm, guilt written all over their faces.
"Cool it, guys, it's just us." Tayler and Patrick walked in, giving the pair on the couch a funny look. "Did we interrupt something?"
"Not really. Just discussing... baby names." Grace said the first thing that popped into her head. "We were just saying that Ingrid might feel a bit left out, seeing Marcus is her boyfriend and all."
Tayler didn't look convinced. "Whatever you say."
Tayler and Patrick walked outside.
"What do you think she meant, if Ingrid walked in?"
Patrick shrugged. "She explained it before, didn't she?"
Tayler shook her head. "Something's going on, and that was a quick cover-up story. You do know that Grace is pregnant?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, I think it happened more recently than before the big drove... remember that night Grace went missing? Regan called everyone, and she still didn't find her."
"Oh yeah. Well, I'll ask Ben, but Marcus was probably home that night."
"Well, we will find out, one way or another." Tayler looped an arm around Patrick's waist, and they walked towards her car.
