I think now Linda has left that I will put this story as complete and then maybe I will come back to it when or if Linda comes back. I would like to thank you all for the wonderful reviews on this story. I'm sorry to have to end this fan fiction but I think it is best at the moment now Linda has left.

Over the last couple of months after the work party for the student nurses Grace had something she wanted to ask her mother and hopefully Linda would feel the same.

Linda took Grace out to the country side were they walked for hours and hours talking and having the best time and actually enjoying each other's company and today was the day Grace was going to ask Linda the best question.

"I hope you are having fun Grace" Grace nodded as they continued to walk the woods passing couples walking their dogs or just on romantic walks through the countryside. Grace took hold of Linda's hand and held it tight. Linda smiled down at Grace and their entwined hands swaying as they walked.

"I love you mum" Grace said quietly hoping Linda hadn't heard but Linda did hear. She brought Grace into a hug and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you to Grace" they smiled at each other as they walked. They reached a nice picnic area so they set up their picnic sitting on a blanket and started setting up. They ate their lunch with families around them having fun sharing food and drink. Children played on the grass chasing each other and the boys playing football cheering occasionally when they scored a goal.

"I have something I want to ask you?" Grace took a deep breath before she asked the big question.

"I was wondering if I could maybe live with you permanently and well make ago of things like a mother and daughter should" Linda was quiet for a few minutes before she grabbed hold of Grace and squeezed her tight.

"So is that a yes then... mum" Linda began to sob

"Of course it is a yes Grace and you don't even have to ask. I have waited for this moment your whole life"

"sorry I didn't mean to make you cry" Grace threw her arms round Linda and she too began to cry knowing her mother always wanted her and that she never gave up on years ago like she thought.

So a few months later Grace moved in with Linda and they had never been happier and they now were the family they both had waited for. Grace was even thinking about becoming a nurse Like her mother so she kept her head down at school and got the top grades in her class and this year she was now of to university hoping to become a perfect nurse like her mother.

Sorry that was rather corny but I wasn't sure how to end this story to be honest and this was the best option for this story. Once again thank you so much for your kind words and constant support on this story and maybe in the future there could a sequel in the works.
