A/N.: Okay, here's a short chapter 10, I hope you'll like it! Chapter 11 will be longer, I promise! :)

Chapter 10:

Megan swallowed "You remember me telling you about your grandfather, my dad, right? Until a few days ago I was still trying to understand why he killed himself, but suddenly everything changed- Peter and I were in the living room, drinking some wine, when someone rang at my door. I went to open it and couldn't believe my eyes, I know it sounds crazy, but your grandfather was standing at my door, asking me to let him tell me why he had to leave." Lacey looked at her in disbelief "You're not serious, right? I mean how could he have faked everything? That really sounds crazy." Megan took Lacey's hands "I know sweetie, but it's really true. I'll tell you why he did what you did, okay?"

After Megan had told her daughter the story surrounding her grandfather's disappearance Lacey and Megan looked at each other with tears in their eyes "Mom, that was so brave of him, I'm so happy for you, I know you missed him very much." Megan wiped her eyes "Thanks Lace. Actually I have an idea, how about the two of us cook dinner together and invite Peter, Grandma and your Grandpa over, so you can meet both Peter and your grandfather?" Lacey smiled "That would be so great, we could cook pasta or something like that, gosh I'm so excited!"

They walked back to their car, pleasantly chatting about what they would need for dinner. Megan started the engine and they drove in the direction of the supermarket, as her fridge definitely needed to be refilled. "Alright Lace, for the pasta we'll need some spaghetti, pesto, tomatoes, could you get these? Meanwhile I could call grandma and grandpa and invite them over." Lacey smiled "Sure, can I also bring some fruit for dessert?" "Yes, but then we'll need some vanilla sauce too, okay?" "Yeah, got it."

Lacey went to get the supplies Megan had requested and then moved to choose some fruit, while her mother called her grandfather and grandmother.

"Hi Dad, it's me." - "I'm fine and you?"- "Good to hear, um I talked to Lacey and she would like to meet you." - "Yes, she' really excited and we were thinking about inviting you over for dinner tonight at around 7 I'll invite Mom and Peter over, too" - "Great, until tonight then." - "I love you too, bye." Next she asked Joan if she wanted to come over too and Joan accepted the offer. After that she quickly sent Peter a text telling him, that her mother and father were coming over for dinner and that Lacey would be there, too.

Just as Megan had sent her text Lacey returned with the fruit she chose and put them in the shopping cart- she had chosen some berries and bananas.

"Everyone's coming." she smiled at Lacey who now had a huge smile on her face "That's so cool!" "Okay, I think we have everything."

They paid and left for Megan's apartment to start cooking. After unloading the trunk, they went to lay out their ingredients, Megan started to prepare her sauce, she cut the vegetables and put some Italian bread into the oven, while Lacey washed the fruits and cut them. When Lacey had finished cutting the fruits for the fruit-salad, she went to change in a smart outfit- skinny jeans and a frilly pink top with a dark cardigan.

"Wow, Lace that looks great, would you mind watching the food while I change?" Lacey smiled "Sure."

Megan quickly changed into the new purple dress she had bought while shopping with Lacey the other day and reapplied some lipstick. Just as she and Lacey had finished setting the table the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Lacey said excitedly, which made Megan chuckle "Okay sweetie."

I think I'll have one more chapter to go and then I'm finished! It'll probably be up in the next few days ;) Thanks for your support so far! :)
