Meanwhile in New York...

Omar came home from work and he saw Adrian sleeping on the couch.

"Heh...She's so cute...Adrian..." Omar said happily as he walked over to her. He slightly tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hmm...Oh...You're home..." Adrian said sleepily as she stretched her arms and sat up.

"Yeah...What did you want to do for dinner? I'm really hungry." Omar said nicely as he sat next to her.

"How about pizza? One of my old friends from high school lives here now and he owns a pizza place...He gave me some coupons." Adrian said sweetly.

"Oh...That sounds really great...Where is it?" Omar said intrigued.

"Downtown so it takes like a half an hour to forty five minutes to get there...I'm guessing traffic's bad right now." Adrian said seriously.

"All right...It wasn't too bad but a lot of people are traveling for Thanksgiving so it's worst than it usually is." Omar said concerned.

"I would like to go there...I can drive if you want." Adrian said smiling.

"Sounds good...Let's go." Omar said kindly as he stood up.

"Uh...Didn't you want to see the nursery first?" Adrian said nervously as she stood up.

"Of course...Is there something wrong?" Omar said worried.

"No...I'm just tired from working on it all day...How was work?" Adrian said nicely as they walked into the nursery.

"Ok...Work was great...We worked on some insurance stuff...Oh wow...Everything looks great Adrian...I think the baby will love it." Omar said smiling as he looked around the room and saw toys and some pictures of cartoons hung up on the wall. The crib also had pillows and blankets on it and Adrian had started painting the walls a dark yellow color.

"Thanks Omar...I'm glad you like it...I was hoping that you could finish painting it tonight." Adrian said happily.

"Sure...I would love to. Let's go eat." Omar said kindly and he gave Adrian a short kiss.

About an hour later they made it to the pizza restaurant.

"Hey Adrian! I'm so glad came!" Mac said nicely as he walked over to Adrian and Omar.

"Me too. This place looks really great." Adrian said happily.

"You two can sit wherever and a waitress will be right with you. And it's nice to meet you." Mac said nicely as he put his hand out towards Omar's.

"You too, Mac...It's Omar." Omar said nicely as he shook Mac's hand.

"All right...I hope you both enjoy. I have to go to the back to make some more sauce...All of our ingredients are all natural." Mac said kindly and he walked into a door for employees only.

"All natural ingredients...Hopefully that will be better for the baby." Omar said honestly as he sat down at a booth with Adrian.

"Yeah...I sure hope so...I did see the doctor earlier...I almost forgot that I even had an appointment today but my phone reminded me..." Adrian said seriously.

"Oh...How was it?" Omar said worried.

"It was really great...The baby is developing normally...And I have gained about ten pounds..." Adrian said sweetly.

"I'm really happy to hear that...And I'm sure you will look beautiful as the baby keeps growing." Omar said happily.

"Heh...I know...I just...never thought I would be pregnant again so soon." Adrian said concerned.

"Well...that's what happens when we're not...totally careful." Omar said awkwardly.

"Ha ha...Yeah but it was amazing..." Adrian said as she smiled.

"Heh...Yeah...Sex is always amazing with you, Adrian...I love you so much." Omar said as he smiled.

"I love you too..." Adrian said happily and a waitress walked over to their table to take their orders.

Meanwhile in California...

Grace was at the grocery store and Chase walked behind her.

"Hey...Grace." Chase said nicely.

"Oh...Hey...Chase...What are you doing here?" Grace said surprised as she turned around.

"I'm just getting some food since my parents are at work and we don't have anything that good to eat." Chase said seriously.

"All right...I was just getting some stuff for Ricky and me...Um...I heard that you slept with Chloe..." Grace said sadly.

"Yeah...It was a huge mistake...Kathy and I are over...But...we could hang out...If you want." Chase said smiling as he moved closer to Grace.

"Um...I don't know how to tell you this but...we're cousins..." Grace said awkwardly.

"What? Are you serious?" Chase said shocked.

"Yeah...Your birth mom is my Mom's sister...I know you were adopted...We just never really saw each other after you were adopted." Grace said honestly.

"Wow...I didn't know my birth mom had a sister...Man...I am so sorry for hitting on you." Chase said nervously.

"Heh...I knew you weren't just being friendly with me...It's ok though...Even if we weren't related, I wouldn't be interested in you cause I love Ricky." Grace said as she smiled slowly and her cheeks turned red.

"All right...I wish we weren't cousins cause you are so freaking hot...Ricky's a very lucky guy." Chase said as he smirked.

"You're not bad either...Ha ha...He sure is...and I'm very lucky to have him...But...why did you cheat on Kathy?" Grace said sweetly and then seriously.

"Thanks...I was just drinking too much and...Chloe did too...Next thing you know...we were making out and one thing led to another..." Chase said sadly.

"Oh...Hopefully you won't do it again...Kathy was really upset about you cheating on her...I hope you learned your lesson." Grace said honestly.

"Yeah...I defiantly won't...Hopefully there will be better parties in college. I can't wait to get high school over with." Chase said a little irritated.

"Uh...You're supposed to go to college for an education, not to party." Grace said sternly.

"I know but that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun while I'm there...Heh...I'll see ya around, cuz." Chase said happily and he walked away from her.

"Wow...I hope he learned his lesson..." Grace sighed and she kept walking down the isle to get some bread and she saw Grant.

"Hey Grace...What are you doing here?" Grant said surprised.

"Ugh...Hey Grant...I'm getting food...What do you want?" Grace said annoyed.

"Me too...I don't want anything...I heard Jack got hurt from Jesse...He even gave Jack steroids before one of his matches." Grant said seriously.

"I didn't know you talked to Jesse...Wait, what?! Jack took the steroids?" Grace said shocked as her eyes widened.

"Yeah...Jesse and I are friends...I think Jack did...That would explain why he got hurt during his wrestling match..." Grant said sadly.

"Gosh...I can't believe he would do that...This is all my fault..." Grace said seriously as she shook her head.

"How is this your fault? If he took the drugs, then it's his fault. You gotta stop blaming yourself for Jack's problems, Grace. At least he lived and didn't get seriously hurt." Grant said firmly.

"Yeah...It could have been a lot worse...I wonder if his parents or coach know...Thanks for telling me, Grant." Grace said concerned and then nicely.

"No problem...How are things with Ricky?" Grant said kindly.

"Things are going really well...We're low on food...But...I really love him." Grace said sweetly.

"Heh...You love him enough to not cheat on him? I thought you really loved me...But I'm over it...I just hope you don't repeat the same mistakes...Ricky's been through a lot and he would probably lose it if you hurt him." Grant said sternly.

"Of course I love him enough to not cheat on him! And I'm sorry that I cheated on you...I just didn't know what kind of guy I wanted back then...I know Ricky has been through a lot and so have I...Which is why I think we both get along so well...We understand each other and will do anything for each other." Grace said honestly.

"Wow...Sounds like you've got the icing on the cake...I'm really happy for you, Grace...I wish you and Ricky the best...See ya around." Grant said nicely.

"Thanks Grant...Are you...with Shawn?" Grace said intrigued.

"Oh...No...We're just friends...I think I need some time to just focus on school...Hopefully you aren't letting Ricky get in the way of your school work." Grant said kindly.

"I understand...Of course not...I am going to be a doctor no matter what...I'll see you later." Grace said as she smiled and she walked past Grant.

Meanwhile at Ben's house...

"Did you want to go out for dinner tonight?" Ben said nicely as he sat next to Amy on the couch.

"Sure...Anywhere you want to go is fine with me." Amy said happily.

"All right...How about Jeff's? We haven't been there in a long time." Ben said sweetly.

"Sounds good...Maybe my Dad will give us a discount...Heh..." Amy said nicely.

"Heh...Yeah...Let's go." Ben said as he stood up with Amy.

About twenty minutes later they arrived at Jeff's and walked into the restaurant.

"Oh...I guess my Dad isn't here..." Amy said sadly.

"Yeah...What are you going to order?" Ben said nicely as he looked at the menu.

"Steak sounds good...So...Grace texted me about...your little incident after I kissed you last night..." Amy said awkwardly.

"Steak is really goo...Wait, Grace did what? I told her to not tell anyone..." Ben said kindly and then surprised.

"Well...She told me...We're sisters, Ben...Why did you talk to her about it anyway?" Amy said suspiciously.

"Uh...I thought she could tell me about why it happened cause...I usually don't get...boners when we kiss normally unless we're about to have sex...And it really surprised me and Grace thinks that's why I got such a bad boner last night..." Ben said seriously.

"Ha ha ha ha...You're so funny...Well...I'm glad that surprises turn you on...I'll have to keep that in mind...Heh...But I don't think you should talk to Grace about it...That was kind of inappropriate." Amy said as she laughed and then sternly.

"Yeah...I realize that now...I was defiantly not expecting you to wink at me either...I've never seen you so sexy and confident until last night..." Ben said nicely as he smiled.

"Well...I thought it would help you feel better after hearing about Chloe..." Amy said sweetly.

"Heh...It defiantly did...And I'm glad she's doing better now...How were Madison and Lauren?" Ben said intrigued.

"Me too...They're doing really great...And they love Berkeley...I miss seeing them everyday...We had a lot of good times in high school." Amy said kindly and then sadly.

"That's really good...Berkeley is a great school. I miss seeing Henry and Alice everyday too...It feels so weird being away from all our friends in New York..." Ben said honestly.

"I know...but at least we have each other." Amy said as she smiled.

"Hey Ben! Amy!" Henry said excited as he walked over to them with Alice.

"Henry! Alice! What are you two doing here?" Ben said surprised and he gave them a hug.

"We're going to eat...Can we join you?" Alice said sweetly.

"Of course...Sit down." Ben said kindly and Henry sat next to him while Amy sat next to Alice.

"It's so good to see you two...How are you?" Amy said happily.

"We're doing really great...Henry has to go back to the military in January..." Alice said nicely and then seriously.

"Yeah...It's really tough which is why I'm so glad I get a break." Henry said honestly.

"I bet it is...Have you had to...fight yet?" Ben said sadly.

"No...I've been training the entire semester...It's crazy...you have to learn how to shoot all kinds of guns and how to use grenades...I could talk to you for hours about all the weapons that we use and other equipment...There are a lot of defensive techniques we have to learn too." Henry said seriously.

"Wow...That does sound hard...I'm really proud of you Henry...I don't have the guts to be a soldier." Ben said nicely.

"Thanks Ben...Maybe I'll go back to school in a couple years...It depends on if the war on terrorism will ever end..." Henry said concerned.

"Yeah...I don't know how that is going to ever be possible...So many people hate the United States in other countries...It's really sad..." Amy said in a depressed tone.

"That's true...But at least we have amazing people like Henry to protect us from them." Alice said as she smiled slowly.

"And I'm really proud to be in the military...So...how have you two been?" Henry said smiling.

"We're doing great...I'm really glad that Amy gave me another chance." Ben said happily.

"Aww! I knew you two would work out...I'm so happy for both of you." Alice said kindly.

"Thanks Alice...I'm happy for you and Henry." Ben said as he smiled.

Meanwhile at the butcher shop...

Ricky had closed the butcher shop and he walked upstairs to his apartment with John.

"Did you have fun helping me with the cash register, John?" Ricky said nicely as they walked into his apartment.

"Yeah! It was a lot of fun!" John said happily and he walked into his room.

"Heh…I guess Grace is still shopping…" Ricky smiled and he pulled out his phone from his pocket and saw that Brandon texted him. Next he called him.

"Hey Ricky…When did you want to talk?" Brandon said nicely.

"Uh…We can now if you want…I'm done with work." Ricky said kindly.

"All right…I'll be there soon." Brandon said seriously and he hung up.

About twenty minutes later Brandon knocked on Ricky's door.

"Come on in Brandon…" Ricky said smiling as he opened the door.

"Thanks…I brought my keyboard…If you want to play some music." Brandon said kindly as he put his keyboard on the table in front of Ricky's couch.

"Oh…Cool…So…why did you run away from home?" Ricky said intrigued as they sat on the couch.

"Uh…It all started after I fell for this girl who's going to be my foster sister…Her name is Callie…and…I ran away because I had sex with my Dad's ex girlfriend and she's like twenty five…I also got involved in a fake ID mess…to make money for this crazy situation that my Dad was involved in…It's a long story…" Brandon said seriously.

"Wow…You don't have to tell me everything…But you ran away because you slept with your Dad's ex girlfriend? Are you afraid that you'll go to jail?" Ricky said concerned.

"No…I got arrested cause I lied about buying alcohol for people at a school dance with fake IDs to protect Callie…But she didn't do it…This jerk named Vico set her up…But…I'm afraid that my Dad and Moms will kill me if they find out about me sleeping with…Dani…I didn't mean for it to happen…And Callie likes this guy named Wyatt and I thought Dani could help me forget about her…I hate myself..I ruined my life and I'm only sixteen…" Brandon said honestly and sadly.

"Man…You sure got yourself into a crazy situation…Listen to me, Brandon…Running away isn't going to solve any of your problems…I've screwed up a lot and my parents have been mad with me but…they still love me…And I'm sure your parents will still love you…I became a father at your age with a girl that I never loved…For the longest time, I regretted ruining her life and mine…But then I grew up and took responsibility for my actions…I've used girls to help me forget about the pain and suffering that my father caused me but…it never really helped…I hated myself too…but doing that isn't going to make your life easier…It just makes it harder…I know everything feels like it's the end of the world right now…but it's not…Your life is just getting started…Don't ruin it by hurting yourself and others by running away…That's not going to solve anything…" Ricky explained seriously as he rubbed Brandon's back.

"You have a kid? What happened to his mother? And thanks for your advice, Ricky." Brandon said as he wiped his eyes.

"No problem…Yeah I do…His name is John…And his mom went to school in New York…She got back with her first boyfriend...We were engaged but we didn't love each other…And since Callie is going to be your foster sister, maybe you should just love her as a sister…Maybe if you're lucky, you'll find a girl who will love you more than you could ever imagine…That happened to me when I got back with Grace over the summer…I dated her briefly in high school but…I cheated on her cause I was a jerk…But now we're happier than ever…" Ricky said honestly.

"Wow…That's an inspiring story…I probably should love Callie as a sister…She's always wanted a family…Grace sounds really great…I just thought Callie really loved me." Brandon said nicely.

"I'm sure Callie will be very happy to have you as a brother, Brandon…You seem like a great kid…Sometimes…love doesn't always last…You just have do what's best for people you love…And Grace is amazing…So…did you want to play some music?" Ricky said kindly.

"Yeah…She will…Thank you for everything Ricky…Uh…I would…" Brandon said as he smiled.

"All right…I've actually been working on a song for Grace…I want to record it…My laptop has a mic on it and I have a recording software on it…I'll show you what I have so far." Ricky said happily as he walked into the kitchen and he grabbed a notebook.

"Wow…That's really cool…I wrote a song for Callie and she really liked it…It's all instrumental…Hmm…This is very good…I bet Grace will like it…" Brandon said kindly as he looked at Ricky's lyrics.

"Thanks…I wasn't going to show you…But since you brought your keyboard do you think that you could maybe write a piano part to it? I already wrote the drum part." Ricky said nicely.

"Of course…I love writing music…Can I hear the drum part?" Brandon said happily.

"Yeah…" Ricky smiled as he walked over to his drum set and he began to play the drums quietly.

"All right…That's really good, man…Ok…Keep going…I think I have a tune in mind." Brandon said seriously as he turned his keyboard on. Ricky played his drums again and Brandon started playing his 'piano.

A couple hours later Ricky and Brandon came up with the music and they recorded it with Ricky's laptop.

"So…I guess I'll do the lyrics…I'm not the best singer…Do you have any advice?" Ricky said concerned.

"I'm not either but…you should just sing it how you want it to sound…Give it a shot." Brandon said nicely as he clicked on record on Ricky's laptop.

"All right…The way you do the things you do…I don't have to ask if you…Really care about what we've got…I know it doesn't matter, But you're the one I'm after…There's no girl I'd rather have…You can take your time…Cause girl I'll be waiting…The only thing you are is amazing…You're amazing to me baby…You're amazing to me baby…" Ricky sang confidently.

"Wow…That's really amazing Ricky! You have a real talent…" Brandon said surprised.

"Thank you Brandon…Let's keep going…" Ricky said happily.

A few hours later Brandon and Ricky had finished recording the song called You're Amazing.

"I should probably get going since it's getting late…I had a lot of fun Ricky…And thank you for all your advice." Brandon said nicely.

"You're welcome…I had a lot of fun too…Thanks for helping me with the song…Where are you staying?" Ricky said intrigued.

"A hotel…I think I'm going to go home early in the morning…I should probably let my family know that I've been in Valley Glenn…" Brandon said honestly.

"Yeah…That's probably a good idea…You can come here anytime to visit or to make a song…Heh…It was great seeing you again." Ricky said happily and he gave Brandon a hug.

"I defiantly well…Heh…It was nice seeing you again too…Good luck with everything." Brandon said kindly as he pulled away from Ricky.

"Thanks…Good luck to you too…Good night." Ricky said nicely as Brandon left his apartment with his keyboard.

Ricky walked into John's room and saw that he was asleep in his bed.

"Heh…I guess he was busy playing with toys all night…Good night buddy." Ricky said quietly and he put John's blanket over him and turned his lamp off.

A few minutes later Grace walked in.

"Grace! Where have you been all night?" Ricky said concerned as he walked over to her and hugged her.

"Geeze, Ricky…I wasn't gone for that long…Heh…I had to get groceries…and…I had to talk to Jack's parents…He's out of the hospital and back at home…But…he took steroids before he got hurt." Grace said honestly as she pulled away from him.

"Thanks for the food…Jack took steroids? That's terrible…" Ricky said sadly.

"I know…At least he's ok…Grant told me about it at the store…What were you doing all night?" Grace said suspiciously as she looked at the recording software on Ricky's laptop on the kitchen table.

"Oh…I was just working on a project…Heh…Do you want something to eat? I'm starving." Ricky said awkwardly as he closed his laptop.

"All right…Yeah…I bought a bunch of stuff…" Grace said sweetly as she put plastic bags with them on the table.

"How about…some tortillas? I've been craving Mexican for awhile." Ricky said as he took out a box with tortillas in this from a bag.

"Sounds good…Did you not have dinner? It's already after eleven."Grace said worried.

"I had a sandwich earlier but I'm so hungry…" Ricky said as he turned on his oven.

"Heh…Me too…I just had some fruit…And before I left…Ben talked to me about…something really awkward…" Grace said awkwardly.

"The boner thing? Amy already told me…Heh…" Ricky rolled his eyes as he took out the tortillas from the box.

"Oh…Yeah…I can't believe he talked to me about that…" Grace said surprised.

"Me either…I guess it's a good thing that Amy gets him turned on though…Ha ha…Since you are going to be a doctor, I'm sure you'll have patients who ask you about that kind of stuff." Ricky said honestly.

"Heh…Yeah I don't know…I'm not going to be a penis doctor so hopefully I won't have too many people ask me about boners…I'm not a guy so I can't always fully explain them…Heh…" Grace said seriously..

"No kidding…Ha ha…I just hope Ben doesn't talk to you about that again…That was not appropriate at all…" Ricky said sternly as he put the tortillas in the oven.

"Me too...But he just wanted to know why he got a bad one…He could have looked it up online but…then he might have gotten some really bad results…And I guess his dad wasn't around…Heh…" Grace said uncomfortably.

"That's true…As long as he's fine now…it's all good…So…what did Jack's parents say?" Ricky said intrigued as they sat at the kitchen table.

"Um…They were really surprised and upset with Jack but they're glad he's ok…And I saw a kid drive away from the butcher shop when I walked in…Who was that?" Grace said seriously.

"I bet they were…I guess Jack doesn't just cheat on girls…Ha ha…That was Brandon…He's an old friend of mine…I helped him with baseball years ago…He ran away from home and I encouraged him to go back…He made a pretty bad mistake but I think he'll be ok now…" Ricky said honestly.

"Heh…That's not funny, Ricky…I'm glad you helped him…I also ran into Chase at the grocery store and…I told him we're cousins…He was pretty surprised…" Grace said sweetly.

"I know…I bet Chase was pretty surprised…Ha ha…I'm glad that you two are related cause I was kind of jealous of him." Ricky said concerned as he opened the oven.

"Really? I thought you trusted me. Heh…" Grace said sarcastically.

"I do…Ha ha…Mmm…These are so good." Ricky said as he put the tortillas on the table after putting them on a glass plate.

"I know…They're really hot…" Grace smirked as she grabbed a tortilla.

"Heh…Yeah…Just like you." Ricky smiled as he took a bite of his tortilla.

A few minutes later Grace and Ricky finished eating their tortillas and put the plate in the sink.

"So…What did you have in mind for desert?" Grace said quietly as she put her hands on Ricky's neck.

"Hmm…I was thinking we could do this." Ricky smirked as he picked up Grace and started kissing her slowly and then he moved her against the kitchen wall.

"Wow…Ricky…That was…really hot…" Grace said seductively and then Ricky kissed her again.

"Mmm…Yeah…You want to go in the shower again?" Ricky grinned as he licked his lips.

"Heh…Really? I thought we weren't going to do that again." Grace said surprised.

"I'm kidding…Maybe we could do some of this…" Ricky said as he smiled and he unbuttoned his shirt and took it off as Grace's eyes widened.

"Wow…You've been…Working out…" Grace said shocked as her jaw dropped.

"Heh…Yeah…I thought you would appreciate a little Thanksgiving present." Ricky said as he smirked and he pulled Grace close to him.

"I love you so much." Grace said happily and she gave Ricky a long kiss.

"I love you too." Ricky said smiling as he let go of Grace.

"So…Do you want…to keep going in bed?" Grace said sweetly.

"Heh…Very funny…" Ricky said sarcastically.

"Ha ha…That's not what I meant…I was thinking you could…lick whipped cream off of me." Grace said as she smirked.

Ricky's eyes widened and he just stared at her.

"Uh…uh…Ok…" Ricky said nervously as he watched Grace grab whipped cream from the fridge and she walked into their room. Ricky followed her.

"So…I've never done this before…Hopefully it will go well." Grace said smiling as she took off her purple short sleeved shirt and jeans.

"Yeah…But…are you sure that you want to do it?" Ricky said seriously as he sat on the bed.

"Of course I do…You earned it after telling me that you want a future with me last night." Grace said happily as she gave Ricky the whipped cream and then she laid on the bed.

"Oh man…Hopefully this will work…" Ricky said as he smiled slowly and then he took off the cap of the whipped cream. Next he put some on Grace's stomach and above her pink bra.

"Oooh…It's kind of cold." Grace said sweetly.

"Heh…It won't be for long…You look so delicious." Ricky smirked as he took his pants off and then he gave Grace a long kiss.

"Aaaah…Lick it…" Grace said seductively and then Ricky licked the whipped cream above her bra. Grace moaned in pleasure as Ricky circled his tongue on her. Next he licked his lips and began to slowly lick the whipped cream off of her stomach.

"Mmm…That was really good…You want to lick some off of me?" Ricky said happily.

"Heh…All right…" Grace said as she smiled and then she switched positions with Ricky. She grabbed the whipped cream from the night stand and put some on Ricky's chest and his stomach. Next she gave Ricky a long kiss and then she licked off all the whipped cream off of Ricky slowly.

"Wow…That was…incredible…I love you so much." Ricky said happily as Grace laid down next to him.

"Yeah it was…I love you too…Heh…There will be more where that came from once we're married." Grace said honestly as she cuddled close to Ricky after turning her lamp off.

"Heh…No kidding…But…aren't you worried that…our first time together won't be that good? It's been a long time since I've had sex." Ricky said seriously.

"Of course not…I'm sure it will be amazing…As long as everything is functioning all right down there." Grace said sweetly.

"Oh…You don't have to worry about that…Ha ha…Good night, Grace." Ricky said happily.

"Good night Ricky." Grace said sleepily as she closed her eyes.

I know this chapter was really long but I think it's necessary for what's going to happen later. Ha ha! So Grace and Ricky had a fun night...But are they going a little too far? And Omar and Adrian are doing well with getting things ready for their baby. And did Chase learn his lesson from cheating on Kathy? So Amy felt a little uncomfortable about Ben's incident but she handled it well. Henry and Alice are doing well too. Is Brandon going to listen to Ricky's advice? I thought it would be cute to have Ricky write a song for Grace and to have Brandon help him with it. The lyrics that Ricky sang are from You're Amazing by Daren Kagasoff. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out cause it's a great song! He's not that bad at singing and rapping. So Jack took steroids...How is that going to affect him doing sports? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
