The one who bought my heart

Trials Finally

Geoff's Pov

All day, I worried about Grace and how she was doing. A couple of times, I almost called her, but I figured that she needed distance, so I didn't. Now it was time for bed, and Grace still hasn't called me. I sleep very little and wake up feeling like poop. We do our normal routine, and around lunchtime, I get a call. As best as I can, with the help of Sarah, I walk to the phone, hoping that it was Grace.

I sit down and say," Hello?"

Grace says," Hey, Geoff. How are you?"

I say," Better now that I can talk to you. It got lonely real quick without you. But how are you? Can you tell me what happened last night?"

Grace says," You promise not to get mad at me?"

I say," I can't get mad at you, and if I do, it isn't for that long."

Grace says," Well, while on my break the other day, I took a nap. And during that time, the officer who watched you before me had forced himself on me. I am so sorry, Geoff. I didn't want it. I promise."

I asked, shocked." Like baby inside you?"

Grace says," Yea. But I didn't want to. I didn't think that it would happen."

I say," Are you keeping it? Please say that you are keeping it."

Grace says," I am. Are you mad at me?"

I say," Baby, no, I am not. It was not your fault. I am mad at the officer whoever thinks that he could take my precious baby away from me. Are you okay? Have you been taking care of yourself?"

Grace says," Well, I ate a slice of pizza and then two bags of popcorn yesterday. And then Pat fixed me cereal and coffee this morning. She is fixing lasagna right now, but I don't really like lasagna, so I don't know what I will eat. Oh, and I have something else to tell you. Please don't be mad?"

I say," Okay. Keep feeding yourself. What is the other thing? I won't be mad."

Grace says," So you remember when I told you about my talk while dead and how I needed to help Jeff with things. Well, one of those things is to date him. And I believe long-term dating. He already talked with Tony, and Tony is okay with it. I double-checked to make sure, and Tony did say that it was okay. Jeff wanted to talk with you about this himself but he couldn't get ahold of you so I decided that I would call you myself."

I say," Okay. Is he happy around you?"

Grace says," He is exactly like you, just very Christian and isn't willing to do anything before marriage. Even though he bought some personal items that he kept hidden away from me yesterday."

I say," Okay. If we all can share you, then I will be happy. And I will make sure that he doesn't get in the news as a boyfriend of yours. I have to go. The lunch bell just rang, so I will be eating. You eat as well. I want to see my little baby. I can't wait until I can see you so that I can hug you. I want you to cuddle with Tony or Jeff until I get out. Then I will cuddle with you the second that I can because you need it. But how do you feel about the baby?"

Grace says," Well, I love them already, but I feel guilty about it. But I talked with my pastor from my hometown, and we managed to help me deal with the guilt. So I guess the answer is I feel way better than any other female who was forced. I still am upset that I couldn't wait until one of you was able to, but I guess this happened for a reason, so I must deal with it. But I have to go eat as well. Goodbye, Geoff. I love you. I will see you at the trial."

I say," Goodbye, Grace. I love you so much. And I love you even more knowing that you will be having a baby."

I hear Grace laugh slightly and then hang up. I get up and walk to the cafeteria.
