The next morning Grace was sound asleep, and Ethan didn't want to wake her after they had been up all night. He rolled out of bed, and decided to hop in the shower. He felt better getting everything off his chest, admitting what he did with Ilona, to Grace. Now, the next step, was confronting Antonio, and Sadie with the big news. He knew Grace wanted to have them over for dinner later in the week, but he just wanted to get it over with, and was going to have a talk with Grace after she woke up, and to see if she would be willing for them to come over later today, for dinner.

After his shower, he walked into the bedroom in just a towel and saw Grace sitting up on the bed "Good morning Hun." he grinned after seeing her smiling at him, he walked towards her, and sat down next to her wrapping an arm around her waist.

"A good morning it is." she hummed with a smile. She was feeling good for once, and after the night they shared together, she was feeling over the moon. She let the bedsheet fall as she reached over to give him a kiss. He instantly felt butterflies in his stomach the way she kissed him, and returned the kiss back to her, laying her down. She was still naked from the night before, which gave him an instant hard on. Feeling frisky, she tugged on the towel that was wrapped around him, pulling it off him, as she rolled him onto his back, and climbed on top of him.

His hands went to her breasts, cupping them as she straddled him, and started massaging her breasts, she slid her hand underneath his neck and helped him up, pressing her lips against his, and giving him a passionate, loving kiss. Feeling the heat rise inside him, he slid his hand through her hair and up the back of her head, tugging on her hair gently, and pulling her head back for better access to her neck. He nibbled onto her neck, and began licking, sucking, and kissing her all over, making her squirm, and her nipples growing even harder. He trailed his tongue down to her breasts, and over to her nipples, flicking his tongue against her hardened nipples, and sucking on them before going back up to her mouth.

She pulled away from their kiss, scooted back and lowered herself to his hardened cock, placing him inside her mouth, and having her way with him. His eyes closed, and his head leaned back, groaning in excitement, and enjoying the warmth of her mouth wrapped around him, bobbing up, and down slowly. He slid his fingers through her hair, and got his fingers tangled, when he felt her tongue circling the tip of his cock, each time her mouth moved up to the tip. A loud gasp escaped his mouth when she deeply went all the way down, and felt the back of her throat. "Grace..." he moaned.

Not wanting to release just yet, he pulled her up and lowered her onto her back. His mouth instantly wrapped around her pussy, pleasuring her until she released. Not wanting to waste any more time, he went back up to her lips, kissing her hard, as he thrusted his cock into her, hitting all the right areas every time he thrusted deep. He pressed his fists down onto the bed on each side of her, and pushed himself up to look at her, admiring how beautiful she was, as he thrusted into her.

Both were on a sexual high, she reached up, and pulled him down onto her, she wanted to feel his naked body rubbing against hers while they made love. "My God Ethan." she moaned out. She ran her hands up his back, and up the back of his head, pressing her lips hard against his.

He felt himself getting ready to release, and pulled away from her, burying his head in the crook of her neck, thrusting harder, and deeper until they released together. He rolled over, pulling her with him, and laying her head onto his chest, while he caressed her back. "You have no idea what you do to me, or how you make me feel. You're so different than the others I have been with." she whispered.

"I'm pretty sure I do, because I feel the same way about you." he whispered back. "I still can't get over this happening between us, it's a dream come true."

They finally got out of bed, showered, and sat at the table eating breakfast. Ethan took a bite of his food, and looked over at Grace "I was thinking, what if we have Antonio, and Sadie over tonight for dinner? I really want to tell them, and get it over with." Ethan says, with his mouth full of food.

Grace stopped chewing, swallowed her food, and looked over at Ethan "Tonight?"

"Yea... tonight." he grinned. "By the look on your face, I take it you don't want to tell them yet?"

She shrugged her shoulders, and then thought about how Sadie would react, even though she did ask her if she was pregnant before they left for their vacation. "I guess we can see if they would like to come over for dinner, she does need to know." she sighed "I can call Sadie after breakfast, and see if they have any plans for later this evening."

"I think it would be best, they both have their suspicions already, and if we continue to keep it from them, it wouldn't be good."

"You're right..."

They finished their breakfast, and while Grace was on the phone with Sadie, Ethan called to talk with Faith to see how she was doing. He hadn't seen her since he last dropped her off after Thanksgiving, and worked out a deal with Melissa, to have her for a few days.

Ethan hung up with Melissa, walked over to Grace smiling, and picked her up, spinning her around "I have to go, I'll see you tonight." Grace tells Sadie as she squealed, and laughed, dropping the phone on the ground when he continued spinning her around. "Ethan, you're going to get me sick." she cried out with a smile.

Ethan set her down, picked up her phone, and set it on the counter. "What are you so happy about?" she asked.

"Melissa is letting me have Faith for a few days, I would love for you to stay here while she's here."

"I can do that; I would love to spend some time with her."

"Good..." Ethan cupped her face, and gave her a passionate kiss "There's something else I'd like to ask you, but I'm not sure how you would feel about it quite yet."

"And, what would that be?"

"Move in with me..."

Grace backed up, and looked him in his eyes, Ethan asking her to move in was a big step for her, she had never lived with any man before, and was a little hesitant about it, she's always been alone, other than when she lived with her kidnappers "I don't know Ethan."

"It would make sense for you to, we could be together every day..." He stopped, and smiled, and caressed her cheek "And, I can make love to you anytime, wouldn't you like that?"

She smiled, she did like the idea of seeing him every day, and waking up to him every morning "I need to think about it, I'm so used to living alone... but it would be nice to be with you whenever I want to be." she said, smiling "I'll think about it, but for now I need to run to the store, and buy food to make for dinner."

Later that evening, Grace kept pacing back, and forth in the kitchen, she was getting nervous the more she looked at the time. She stopped pacing, and continued stirring the spaghetti sauce. Ethan walked up behind her, pushing her hair to the other side of her neck, and started kissing the back of her neck "Calm down, you'll stress yourself out, and it's not good for what is growing inside of you." he said quietly, trying to relax her.

She turned herself around, and cupped the side of his face, and smiled. "I know, I'm just trying to figure out what to say, and wondering what kind of reaction I'll get from Sadie. She was already out of my life for twelve years; I couldn't bear any more time away from her."

He leaned forward, and kissed her lips "That was a long time ago, and wasn't under your control. I don't think Sadie would let you out of her life again, she may be pissed, but you both worked hard over the years to get to know each other again, and now you two have a wonderful relationship. Just be positive."

"Easier for you to say..." she quietly said, turning back around, and stirred the sauce.

Antonio, and Sadie walked in the house, making themselves known that they were there. Ethan walked out of the kitchen, and over to them shaking Antonio's hand "Grace is in the kitchen finishing dinner." he says to Sadie, as she took her jacket off, and hung it up.

While Sadie made her way over to Grace, Ethan poured Antonio a drink "I need to talk to you." Ethan whispered to Antonio.

They headed downstairs where Ethan could have a talk with Antonio, knowing they wouldn't have any extra ears around them "I take it something is up to have us over for dinner?" Antonio asks, getting right to the point as they headed downstairs.

"You know me well." Ethan sighed "I brought you down here to give you a little warning." Ethan motioned for Antonio to sit down on the chair across from him, and stared at his drink in his hand.

Antonio groaned as he sat down, knowing this couldn't be good. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

"It's pretty big." Ethan says, taking a sip of his drink.

"Does it have to do with Grace's health?"

Ethan sighed as he ran his hand through his hair "Yes, and no... health wise she is fine, it's more than that. So, here's a little summary... Grace ended up in the hospital after you, and Sadie left for vacation. She fainted at work, and was knocked out cold. When they couldn't wake her, they called an ambulance. I had gotten a phone call about it, and got to the hospital as quick as I could. Even after being stopped by the police." Antonio raised his eyebrows after hearing he got pulled over. "What happened there?" he asked.

"I'll explain that one later, but you can put it this way... he ended up escorting me to the hospital." he chuckled "Anyway... they ran a bunch of tests on her, her blood sugar was extremely low, which was causing the dizziness and her fainting spells, and after doing further testing, that's when we got the shocker."

Antonio leaned forward pressing his elbows on his knees and rested his head in his hands, looking down. He had a feeling what was coming next "So, I take it, this the part where you tell me she's pregnant?"

Ethan leaned back in the chair, and took a drink "That is correct, she is definitely pregnant... that was when I saw them on the screen, and was confirmed with the pictures."

Antonio choked on his drink, and cleared his throat "Them?" Antonio looked at Ethan, and shook his head "Them?" he questioned again.

"Dinner is ready!" Sadie yelled down the stairs, interrupting Antonio, and Ethan's conversation.

They both stood up, Antonio smiled, and placed his hand on Ethan's shoulder "All I can say is good luck with Sadie, she has had her suspicions, but that doesn't necessarily mean she will be happy about it."

"I know."

"My suggestion is to try and break it to her gently, I'll just sit back and watch the fun begin." Antonio smirked, smacking Ethan's back as they headed up the stairs.

Ethan, and Antonio sat down while the girls brought the food to the table, placing it at center of the table " Smells good." Antonio says, smiling over at Ethan. He was hungry, and ready for Ethan to drop the big bombshell onto Sadie, hoping Sadie will accept the news, and not make a huge scene.

"It does." Sadie responded, as she sat next to Antonio. Grace grabbed a bottle of wine, setting it front of Antonio, and Sadie "Please help yourselves."

Antonio poured himself a glass, and was about to pour Sadie a glass, until she placed her hand over the glass "No thanks... I'm good." she says, giving him a wink, and looked at Grace "Would you like a glass?"

"No thanks."

Sadie looked at her surprised, she never turns down her favorite wine, she picked up the bowl of noodles, dished herself a plate, and began passing the food around the table. Dinner started off quiet, until Ethan started cracking jokes, trying to prepare Sadie, and wanting her to be in a good mood before he told her about Grace, and hoped she wouldn't hurt him too bad.

"So, mom, what happened that you ended up in the hospital?" Sadie asked, taking a bite of her food. Antonio placed his hand on her thigh, knowing the bomb was about to go off. Grace explained to her what happened, leaving out the, I'm pregnant part.

"I don't get it, what's causing all that to happen?" Sadie asked confused.

Ethan took a deep breath, exhaling slowly here it goes... he said under his breath. Sadie looked over at Ethan and noticed him getting antsy "Is it that bad?" she questioned, looking back and forth from Ethan, to Grace. She felt her heart drop into her stomach, thinking the worse. Antonio then gave Ethan a hard kick in the shin, wanting him to finally tell her what was going on.

"What are you two trying to hide from me?"

Ethan closed his eyes, and knew he better just come right out, and say it "Grace is pregnant." Ethan blurted out. Sadie's eyes widened, and looked over at her mom, who was looking the other direction, away from Sadie.

"You're pregnant? I thought you said you couldn't have any more kids?" she asked quietly, feeling all kinds of emotions run through her, unsure how to feel.

Grace slowly turned her head towards her, and sighed "I thought I couldn't either." she said sadly, looking at her with sadness, after seeing Sadie's expression. She started feeling sick to her stomach, after seeing how hurt Sadie looked, and the sound of shock in Sadie's voice.

She wasn't sure what to say to her, and looked at Antonio, before looking back at Sadie "I'm sorry Sadie." she whispered.

Sadie was in shock, even though she suspected it, she was hoping it was just a flu bug she may have caught. Especially after Grace was adamant about her not being pregnant, and that she insisted she couldn't have any more children. Sadie went over there wanting to tell them some exciting news herself, and now she couldn't find it in her heart to tell them what she was about to tell them. She stood up, looked at Antonio, and threw her napkin on her plate "We need to go, Ilona has a date tonight, and I promised her that we would be there." she snapped.

Antonio looked over at Ethan, tightening his lips, and then leaned forward towards Ethan, whispering "I'll have a talk with her."

Sadie looked at her plate, and was about to pick it up, but was stopped by Grace as she placed her hand on top of Sadie's arm "I can get that, don't worry about it."

Sadie walked away from the table, not saying another word and headed for the door. Antonio looked at Grace, and walked over to her, giving her a hug "Be patient, I'll talk to her, everything will be alright." he whispered into her ear, and giving her a kiss on her cheek. "Dinner was good, thanks for having us over."

He walked over to Sadie, and helped put her jacket on "Sadie... we should stay, and talk to them, you can tell your mom isn't taking her pregnancy news very well."

"I need some time to take this all in, and Ilona had a date before we were asked to come over, so we need to leave right now." she insisted, pulling him towards the door. Antonio turned around, and waved to Ethan, while shrugging his shoulders before walking out the door.

"Thank you, come again, it's been fun!" Ethan yelled, with a smile.

Ethan looked at Grace, and semi smiled "Well that went well, wouldn't you say?" Grace gave him a disappointed look, and ran into the bathroom At least I didn't see a book, or a punch to the face, so that's a good sign. he muttered.

While driving, Antonio placed his hand on Sadie's thigh, and rubbed it "I think you overreacted Hun." he says, looking over at her, out the corner of his eye.

"Not now Antonio... I'm thinking."

"Sadie, your mother deserves happiness after all these years, don't you think?" He looked over at her, then looked back at the road "Think about it, think about what your mother went through from the time she was pregnant with you, to the twelve years that she was held captive. She's never experienced what love is, and now that she has it, you're not helping her situation by acting this way. She now has someone that cares for her, and loves her. She means something to someone who cares, and that's Ethan. You need to open your eyes and see what he does to her. I've noticed a big difference in her, and him. Just think about her feelings too."

Sadie remained quiet, and looked out the window while he talked to her. She wanted to scream, cry, and get into Ethan's face, letting him have it. She sighed, and grabbed her phone, texting Isabella, and Gabriella. After they both responded to her, she looked at Antonio. "Turn around." she demanded.

"What?"

"You heard me, turn around, and go back to Ethan's, the girls will watch the kids until we get home."

Antonio turned the car around, and headed back towards Ethan's "So, what do you plan on doing, or saying?" he asked, sounding worried.

"I'm going to talk to my mom, tell her how I feel about this, and then.... I'll be by her side, and help her out."

Antonio reached over, curling his finger under her chin, and turned her towards him, trying to stay focused on the road, and looked at her quick "Trust me, this is for the best. Just be happy for them. Like I told you before, just let them be, be there for her, and enjoy your new siblings."

"Siblings?"
