Meanwhile in California...

Ricky and Ethan were taking a break from working when Grace walked in.

"Hey Grace. Where have you been all day?" Ricky asked happily as he hugged her.

"I got some dinner from Jeff's restaurant and I ran into my Mom's ex husband, Jeff...We had lunch and it was really nice. He married my Mom shortly after my Dad died..." Grace said seriously.

"Oh yeah...What's he doing here? I thought he was working in Africa." Ricky said concerned.

"So did I but he's moving back here to work. How's your day been?" Grace said sweetly.

"Oh...It's been busy...Except now it's kind of slow...Heh...Betty's going to start working here on Monday." Ricky said excited.

"Wow! Good for her! You don't think that will be awkward for Mr. Boykevich though?" Grace said nicely.

"Yeah...I don't know about that...I hope it isn't...Can I have some of that food? I'm starving and I didn't have lunch." Ricky said kindly.

"Of course Ricky...Do you have a microwave down here? It's probably cold." Grace said smiling as she gave Ricky the bag of food.

"We do...Thanks. Do you wanna do something after I get done with work?" Ricky said as he put the food in the microwave.

"You're welcome...I would love to. Surprise me if you want. I have some homework to do." Grace said happily.

"Sounds good. I will surprise you...See you in a couple hours." Ricky smirked as Grace went upstairs.

"Oh man...How are you going to surprise her?" Ethan said as he walked over to Ricky.

"I'm not sure...Do you have any ideas?" Ricky said as he took the food out of the microwave.

"Hmm...You could take her to a fancy restaurant..." Ethan said seriously.

"Heh...I already did that for our first date...I've taken her to the beach too and Jeff's...We've been to the movies too...I don't know...What would sweep her off her feet?" Ricky said as he took a bite of his burger.

"I don't know Ricky...I thought you knew more about women than me...You could take her to a fancy hotel. That might be fun." Ethan said smiling.

"Ha ha...We've been in hotels together too...And you have to make a reservation for that...You do for certain restaurants too but that's easier to do at the last minute...Hmm...Why can't I think of anything? Maybe I should ask Adrian...She's good with this stuff." Ricky said honestly.

"Did you take Amy anywhere special?" Ethan asked sincerely.

"I did but...I don't want to take Grace to the same places that I took Amy...I'll just call Adrian real quick...You should finish those gift baskets." Ricky said after taking another bite of his burger.

"All right...Good luck with that..." Ethan said as he walked over to the gift baskets.

A few minutes later Ricky finished his food and he pulled out his phone and called Adrian.

"Hey Ricky...I just got out of the shower...Dante and his friends are coming over soon for dinner." Adrian said as she answered her phone.

"Oh man...I'm sorry Adrian...Who's Dante?" Ricky said awkwardly.

"You're fine...He's Omar's brother. Did you need something?" Adrian asked concerned as she put on a short and black dress.

"Ok...So Grace wants me to surprise her tonight...I don't know where I can take her to do that..." Ricky said worried.

"Ah...So you need my advice, huh? Well...you could take her to a building with a terrace. That's really romantic." Adrian smiled slowly.

"Heh...That's true...But I already did that at that fancy restaurant...La Venora...I want to do something different..." Ricky said nicely.

"Oh yeah...You could do something with her like bowling, go-karts, mini-golf, or swimming...I don't know if she would like the go-karts though...She was terrified when you took her to the batting cages...Ha ha..." Adrian laughed as she sat on her bed.

"Ha ha...That was a lot of fun...I do like golf...Maybe we could have a nice romantic night outside eating steak and potatoes from the butcher shop and then we could golf for awhile...and then we could go to the park and have some fun there." Ricky said happily as he smiled slowly.

"Ooooh...That does sound like a perfect date...I should do that with Omar next weekend. I think she'll love it. I hope I helped." Adrian said nicely.

"Yeah...You defiantly helped Adrian...I really appreciate it. Before you go...I heard from Leo that Ben overdosed on pills? Is he ok?" Ricky said sincerely.

"Sadly,yes he did...But he's totally fine now...Since it's Amy's birthday, they're in Niagara Falls." Adrian said seriously.

"Oh wow...Why did he do it? That's really exciting! I need to wish Amy a happy birthday." Ricky said kindly.

"It's a long story...But he started taking anti-depressant pills after we lost...Mercy...I really need to get ready so you can talk to Amy or Ben about it..." Adrian said sadly.

"You don't have to be so tough Adrian...I'm really sorry to hear that...As long as he's fine now, that's all that matters." Ricky said honestly.

"Thank you Ricky...And you're right...I just hope that we can always be friends...If you need anything, just let me know." Adrian said sweetly as she wiped her eyes.

"You're welcome...Of course we will always be friends...I hope you have a great night." Ricky said sincerely.

"Thanks...I hope you do...Bye." Adrian said nervously.

"Is there something wrong?" Ricky asked worried.

"Uh...Well...I don't know if you've heard from Grace but...Omar and I are expecting..." Adrian said awkwardly.

"Expecting what?" Ricky said confused.

"Heh...You can be so clueless sometimes...We're going to have a baby." Adrian said seriously as she rolled her eyes.

"Oh wow! Congratulations! That's really exciting!" Ricky said excited.

"Yeah it is...I gotta go...Talk to you later Ricky." Adrian said as she found some earrings to put on.

"All right...Later Adrian." Ricky hung up.

I really wish I could keep going but I have to study for my chemistry test. The next chapter will be a lot longer for sure! Stay tuned for what's going to happen next with Ben and Amy at Niagara Falls as well as with Adrian, Omar, Dante and his friends. What will happen on Grace's and Ricky's next date? Ethan will have some more parts coming up too. Also, is Adrian having trouble with her pregnancy still? Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
