Reentry #3

-hey guys so this is the part you know grace gets caught by mick talking to that guy I just wanted to quickly make clear that let's say grace put ally down by the stairs to play to take the call-
Grace: You know how hard this is. It hasn't even been a week.
♪ ♪
Of course I do. ( Sighs deeply ) I will. Bye. ( Cellphone beeps )
Grace: You too.
Mick: Do I know him? Does Ben?
Grace: No. Mick, nobody did anything wrong here. Not me, not Jared, not Lourdes.
Mick: Not me or Ben.
(Ally listens in and hears her mother and aunt talking she slowly walks down the hallway to make sure not to be seen by any of them)
Grace: No, of course not. I am going to tell him. I just... I need to figure out what I'm gonna do.
Mick: Meaning... who you're gonna be with? Wow. Grace, look, I know that you guys didn't have a perfect marriage, but really? He is your... He is your husband. ( Voice breaking )
I know. And I love him. God help me. I didn't even remember how much I loved him until he came back. But you have to understand this is an impossible situation. Mick: This is none of my business, but you need to figure this out before Ben does. He's going through enough.
(Ally backs away quickly but unfortunately drops her bear onto the floor the plastic eyes from the teddy makes a loud thud ally quickly picks the teddy up and starts to waddle a away to hide up the stairs both mick and grace turn there attention to the noise)
Mick: what was that
Grace: Ally oh my god I forgot she had woken up I put her by the stairs to play she was probably listening to our conversation
(Grace try's to walk past but mick stops her)
Mick: I've got this don't worry
(Mick walks down the hallway slowly softly saying ally's name)
Mick: ally, ally hunny your not in trouble
(Mick turns to look at the stair case and sees her niece crying softly to herself)
Mick: oh ally it's ok
(Mick walks over to the young girl and picks her up and holds ally's head with one hand ally raps her hands around micks neck and buries her head in micks shoulder)
Ally: I'm sowy I didn't mean to listen
(The girl cry's)
Mick: it's ok sweetheart we know you didn't mean too
(Mick walks up the stairs up to ally's room and sits back into the rocking chair)
Mick: what we don't know hun is if you know what your mommy and me were talking about
(The young girl sits up in front of her aunt)
Ally: I don't know really but maybe something about mommy talking to another person and daddy wouldn't like it
Mick: something like that but daddy can't know ok not until mommy says something to him so we can't tell him yet
Ally: so we can't tell daddy that mama has a friend
Mick: yes hunny we can't
Ally: but auntie Mickey I don't want to keep secret from my daddy
(Mick takes ally's face into her hands)
Mick: I know sweetheart I don't want to either but your mommy needs to tell him first and then you can tell him whatever you want sweet pea
Ally: ok
(The young girl rests herself into micks chest softly fulling to sleep mick puts ally into her bed and walks down the stairs to grace)
Mick: I told her not to saying anything to ben she kind of understood what we were talking about
Grace: thank you mick you really didn't have to do that
Mick: it's fine but please tell ben
Grace: I will
(Time skip)

Ben: I'll be right back.
Saanvi: What's up?
Ben: I, um... God, this is gonna sound nuts. But you did come back to the plane, too, so I'm guessing you're already questioning your sanity.
Saanvi: I'm questioning a lot of things. Ben: Have you been... hearing music?
Saanvi: You mean, like, in my head? I haven't heard any music, but I've had a similar feeling more than once since we've been back.
Ben: Yeah, well, at least I know I'm not going crazy. ( Chuckles )
Saanvi: Or at least you're not the only one. Saanvi: Hey, dude. Family portrait?
Yep. Me with no cancer, my mom and dad, my sisters. Ben: Who's that? Cal: I don't know.
(Ally looks at the drawing and widens her eyes)
Ally: that
(She's says that under her breath and Ben hears it)
Ben: ally do you know who that is?
Ally: no
(Ben looks at the girl worried what she might mean by that)
Saanvi: You ready?
Cal: Yep.
Saanvi All right, let's go. Also Ben I'll be back in a few minutes to do some tests on ally
Ben: ok great
(Mick arrives)
Ally: auntie mick
Mick: hey sweetheart
(Ally runs and hugs her aunt)
Ben: hey mick
Mick: hey
(Saanvi comes back to take ally for testing)
Ben: can you stay with him
Mick: yeah of course
(They walk down a long corridor to saanvis office)
Saanvi: ok right today all we have to do is check her height so ally can u come stand against the wall with your heel to the wall please
Ally: ok daddy hopefully I have grown like a big girl
Ben: hunny your still a big girl if you haven't grown
Ally: ok
(The young girl smiles and her dad and does what saanvi says saanvi gets the girls high and compares it to her last data saanvi looks devastated at the results and turns to Ben)
Saanvi: so I'm just going to get to the point ally hasn't grown
(Ben looks at his daughter who drops her head as the news he picks up the girl amd try's to comfort her)
Saanvi: she's actually gone down in height
Ben: what that's impossible how can that happen
Saanvi: I'm not sure especially for her age I'll look more into this but for right now don't worry to much I'll test again next week right now just go back to cal
Ben: thank you saanvi
(They walk out and leave to to back to mick and cal)
Ben: it's ok ally
Ally: i know daddy
(Ben puts his daughter on the couch so she can do some drawing he walks over to mick)
Mick: so any good news
Ben: nope ally hasn't grown she's more or less decreased in height
Mick: really is that possible
Ben: I don't even know
Mick: but she's already so small she doesn't even look two
Ben: I know it breaks my heart see her want to be happy that she's growing but she just keeps getting let down
Mick: poor sweet girl
(They go onto another subject)
(Time skip cal, Ben and ally get home)
