Ilona fed the kids their morning breakfast, Luca, Lilliana, and Brandon helped clean up the dishes, washed, and put them away while Isabella, and Gabriella brought the triplets upstairs to help clean them up.

Ilona was worried about Grace after the phone call she received the night before, and wanted to call Ethan to check up on her. Grace's work was unable to get a hold of Sadie, or Antonio, and called Ilona informing her there was a medical emergency with her, and someone needed to pick her up. After explaining they were out of town, and that she wouldn't be able to pick her up because of the kids, she gave them Ethan's phone number, and was surprised to hear they didn't have his number.

Ilona got a hold of Ethan, and explained to him they called her about Grace, and that she was the one who had given them his number. Ethan was surprised to hear Ilona gave them his number, and was glad to hear she did, thanking her. He then insisted to her that she not to say anything to Sadie, and Antonio if they were to call and check up on the kids, and that he would deal with them when they got home.

"How is she?" Ilona asked.

Ethan explained to her that she was alright, and for her not to worry, that she was at his house resting. He didn't want to tell her the news about Grace, and was still trying to process the news himself. He felt she didn't need to know why she was there, and that Sadie, and Antonio should hear the news about Grace first.

Thank you for your concern, but I'm going to let her rest for a while, and I'll be going to her work later to find out what exactly happened. Ethan explained to Ilona.

Ilona hung up with Ethan, after the kids started calling for her, and ran over to her. "Come on Ilona, we want to go make snowmen." Matteo begged, as he pulled on her arm.

"OK, OK." she giggled "Let's see if the other kids would like to make one also."

Ilona asked the older girls if they wanted to go outside, to help make snowmen, but declined, saying they had too much homework to do. "Do you think it would be possible if we could have our boyfriends come over later?" Gabriella asked.

Ilona's eyes widened, unsure of what to say, and wanted to make sure it was alright with Antonio first, before saying yes. The boys were only over the night they took them to the dance, and had never been over after that. She didn't want to overstep her boundaries with Antonio, and Sadie out of town, and didn't think it was up to her to decide if they could come over.

"Let me think about it." she smiled.

They sighed, and rolled onto their stomachs while lying on their beds, and continued doing their homework. As she was walking out, she overheard Gabriella say I'll bet mom would let them come over. I wish she was here right now.

She walked back downstairs, grabbed her phone, and called Antonio. When he didn't answer, she called Sadie. Both never answered, so she text messaged them both. Hey, I don't mean to bother you, but the girls would like for their boyfriends to come over later. Please let me know if it's OK, ASAP. Thank you.

She set her phone down, and got the kids into their outerwear to go outside. As they were walking out, Ilona's phone rang. "Lilliana, make sure the kids stay close by while I take this call quick."

"OK." Lilliana smiled.

Ilona talked with Antonio for a few minutes, and wasn't too thrilled for Ilona to allow the girls to have their boyfriends at the house, while he, and Sadie weren't home. She told him what she overheard Gabriella say to Isabella, and talked to him a little longer, assuring him she would keep a close eye on them. As long as they aren't in their bedroom, and they're where everyone could see them, then it's OK with me. Antonio says, giving in, and sighing.

"Please message me what you said, so if I have any issues with them, I can show them what you said, thank you!" Ilona says to Antonio.

Ilona went outside after hanging up with Antonio, and helped the kids make their snowmen. A couple hours later, the kids were cold, and complained they couldn't feel their fingers anymore. She sent them back into the house to warm up, made them hot chocolate, and placed marshmallows on top. Lilliana wanted to be different, and had her put whip cream on the top instead.

Isabella, and Gabriella walked down the stairs, both moping. "What's wrong?" Ilona asked. She walked away from the kids, and over to them, wondering why they looked bummed out.

"We're just waiting for your answer; we're supposed to let them know soon. Dad texted us, saying we can have them come over as long as we were around you, and only if you said it was OK." Isabella pouted.

Ilona was happy to hear Antonio texted them, making her feel better. She didn't want to be the bad guy if she told them no, or if they did come over, they had to be where she could see them. "Since your dad is alright with it, then it's fine with me."

"We just want to play foosball, and maybe some games of pool, we're not planning on doing anything else." Gabriella said as she walked past Ilona "You didn't have to call dad about it."

Ilona felt bad, but felt she did have to call him, and to make sure it was alright with him first, before allowing any boys in their home. "Well, I had to find out if it was OK, I didn't want him upset with me had I said yes, and the answer would have been no, this is my job."

"Still..." Gabriella sighed, feeling unhappy with her.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to watch you like a hawk, I'll stay up here while you're down there. I may check up on you both occasionally." she winked "You girls are old enough, and don't need to be babysat, I won't do anything to embarrass you, I can guarantee you that."

"If Ethan were here, he would." Isabella smiled.

"Just make a wish that he doesn't show up." Ilona giggled "You never know with him."

"If dad called him, I'll bet he shows up." Isabella says, as her face turned a deeper shade of red.

Ilona giggled, she knew it was true, and remembered how he was with the boys the last time they came over to pick the girls up. "I'll try and keep him away if he does happen to show up."

Ethan grabbed a glass of water, and brought it into the bedroom for Grace, he sat down on the bed next to her, and slid his fingers through her hair as she slept. She felt his fingers running through her hair, and was giving her goosebumps. She rolled over onto her back, and opened her eyes, giving him a small smile. "I grabbed you a glass of water."

Her mouth was feeling dry, and had a bad taste in her mouth. She scooted up against the headboard, and took the water from Ethan's hand, drinking it. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

"My head hurts a little, right here." she says, rubbing the area where Ethan wiped the blood off her at the hospital. He had her lean forward, wanting to check it out, and making sure it was alright. "You had some blood there in the hospital, looks like a small cut, which it's now starting to bruise."

"I'm still in shock about the whole thing." She face palmed the moment she thought of Sadie, and at the thought of what she was going to say once they told her the news.

"What are you thinking?" Ethan asked, after she face palmed.

"What I'm going to say to Sadie, she's probably going to hate me, and never want to speak to me again." Grace sighed, sliding back down in the bed, covering her face "I'm the worst mother a child could have."

Ethan groaned, and pulled her hands away from her face "Don't talk stupid, I'm sure Sadie will be understanding about it. She even asked you if you were pregnant, and was concerned thinking you were. If anything, she would come after me." The more he thought about it, he knew Sadie would go after him.

"I need to go get my car."

"That's the least of your worries, I will take you to get it later, but first I need you to eat something. When was the last time you ate?" She shrugged her shoulders, and closed her eyes. She felt hungry, but was afraid to eat, since every time she ate, it all came out afterward.

"I don't remember ever being this sick when I was pregnant with Sadie."

"I'm sorry." he tells her, caressing her cheek.

"For what? It's my fault. I told you not to worry about it that night, you were wanting to be careful, and everything I was told, was a lie." she sighed, rolling over to her side, away from Ethan. As much as he was ecstatic to know he had a part of him growing inside her, he felt sorry for her, what she was feeling, and thinking, and was probably wondering what the reaction would be from Sadie, and Antonio.

Ethan heard his phone ringing, and left the room. He had to laugh after getting off the phone. It was Antonio calling for his help, wanting for him to keep an eye on the girls, and worried Ilona wouldn't be able to handle it. He went back into the room, and talked with Grace to see if she would like to go over to the house, and see the kids. Letting her know that it might cheer her up some to hang out with her grandkids. "Come on, we'll pick up a few pizzas, and have a little party of our own." He had a devilish grin on his face, knowing he would be able to keep the kids in line.

"Sure, that'll be fine. I haven't spent much time with any of the kids lately, and it would be nice to see them, especially before I'm banned from seeing them."

"Cut it out, they would never do that to you, you're overreacting... like I said, Sadie wouldn't be pissed at you, it'll be me she's pissed at. I know her well enough to know what I'm looking forward to, after she finds out." He wrapped his hands underneath her body, lifted her up, and carried her into the bathroom. He looked at the shower, then over to her, smiling "I bet I know a way of cheering you up some." he grinned.

"Ethan, I'm in no mood."

"I can change that." he says, setting her down to turn the water on. He stood back up, and wrapped his arms around her waist "A shower might feel good right now." he winked. She felt a little better, having his arms wrapped around her. Her eyes closed when he started caressing her cheek, and leaned in to kiss her. Her stomach dropped, and felt a burning sensation below. She brought her arms up around his neck, and pressed herself tighter against him, kissing him harder.

Everything that had been running through her mind, quickly faded away as she focused on Ethan making her feel all warm inside. The way he kissed her had her feeling weak in the knees, her heart beating faster, her stomach dancing, and her pussy throbbing. She felt breathless, and pulled away from him, needing some air.

She smiled, and quickly pulled his shirt up over his head, and like a magnet, her lips instantly went to his chest, kissing him all over. His cock was growing harder for her, and helped her undress, then finished undressing himself. Grabbing her hand, he helped her into the shower, and pulled her to him, their lips met again, kissing each other desperately.

He spun her around, blocking the water from running down on her, she reached out, and pressed her hands onto the shower wall, tilting her head back. He leaned over her with his mouth instantly hitting her neck, and licking the water away from her neck, then reached around her, cupping her chin, and turning her head towards him, pressing his lips to hers. He spun her back around, and trailed his tongue down her neck, in between her breasts, and stopping at her stomach, with his hands resting on her hips, he placed soft kisses all over her stomach.

His kisses sent shockwaves throughout her body, and a soft moan escaped her mouth. He then trailed his tongue down further to her pussy, he parted her lips, and slid his tongue slowly up and down, teasing her clit like he was licking a melting ice cream cone. Her fingers ran through his hair, and grabbed a fist full of hair as he continued licking her sensitive area.

He stopped, and stood up to kiss her, kissing her with hunger. He spun her around, placed her hands on the wall, and slid her wet hair to the side to kiss her cheek, then trailed his lips along the backside of her neck, finding the soft spot on her neck, and sucking on it, causing her to feel numb. She started tensing up when his lips started moving again, and began kissing her back. She didn't want him seeing her back, and began worrying what he would think. When he saw her other scars along her back, his stomach dropped, and began kissing all her scars. He couldn't believe they were covering her entire back, and now knew why she always had her hair down around him. His heart felt like it broke in two, when he noticed it looked like the scars were from being whipped with a rope, or belt. She lowered her head thinking he was disgusted, and felt embarrassed. The only other person who saw those scars, was Sadie.

Ethan could tell she was tense, and started kissing her backside "Relax." he said quietly "It is what it is, I'm not going to run because you have scars, those were out of your control, and you need to know, I think you're still beautiful to me, no scar will ever change my way of thinking, about the way I feel for you." he says while kissing her.

He made his way down to her ass, and placed kisses on her ass cheeks, while his hand made its way over to her pussy, his fingers started caressing her clit, then slid his fingers inside her, as he continued to kiss her from behind, and moved back up to her neck. "Ethan." she moaned. She turned around to face him, and kissed him hard while he lifted her up, and pressed her up against the wall, her legs tightly wrapped around him, and reached down to his cock, placing it at her opening.

He lowered her a little to thrust himself inside her, and thrusted in her slowly while holding on to her tight. His thrusts became harder, and faster, and her moans became louder when he kept hitting her g-spot. Every time he was able to make love to her, he felt like he was the luckiest guy on earth. He never thought it would be this way, never thought he would ever have her, and here he is, making love to her, and to top it off, she's pregnant with his child.

She could feel she was getting ready to orgasm, and started screaming his name, her insides got tighter, which didn't go unnoticed, and he started thrusting faster, until they both released. "Never in a million years, would I have ever thought this would happen between us, that I would be in love with you, and for me to be having more kids... and look where we are." she moaned into his mouth, as their kiss deepened "I love you." she said, as she pulled away from his lips.

They finished cleaning off, and changed. Luckily, Ethan drove over to her house earlier, and grabbed her some clothes to wear. Ethan then called in an order for a few pizzas to bring over to Antonio's, and to surprise the girls. Before leaving the house, Grace pulled Ethan to her, and stared into his eyes "Promise me you won't be like Scott."

Ethan squinted his eyebrows at her, there was no way he could never do that to her, and he wanted her to know that. "You've got my word; I would never do that to you." He cupped her face, and pressed his lips against hers "I can guarantee you that." Making Grace feel better, she gave him a smile that warmed his heart "Come on, let's go pick up the pizzas, surprise the kids, and finally get some food in you."

Grace helped carry the pizzas to the door, she was excited to see the kids, and couldn't wait to spend some time with them. She knew Ethan was right, and that this was something she needed to do, and to forget what Sadie, and Antonio would think. All it was doing was stressing her out, and knew it wasn't good for her, and what was growing inside of her.

Ilona opened the door, and saw Ethan, and Grace standing there with pizzas in their hands. The expression on her face was priceless, causing Grace to giggle.

"Pizza delivery, hope everyone is hungry." Ethan grinned.

"What are you two doing here?" Ilona asked surprised, she then turned her head when she heard footsteps walking towards the door.

"I told you." Isabella said to Ilona.

"What? Not happy to see your favorite Uncle?" His grin got even wider when he saw the twins roll their eyes at him, and walk away from him.
