Grace laid in bed and smiled as she lay texting max. She knew how things were with them. She knew how their relationship was and she knew that it was never easy.

But she knew that they were having a baby together. She knew that she wanted to make it work with him.

Grace got dressed. She walked through the flat as she saw Aimee. "You look awful," Grace said.

Aimee grabbed herself a glass of water and nodded. "I feel it. It's the throwing up," she said.

Grace smiled. "Do you know what your going to do with the baby?"

"I think I am going to keep it. I am meeting Simon in half an hour for breakfast. And I look like crap. He wanted to talk."

"Does he know that you're pregnant?"

"I told him. He was shocked. But he said he'd sort the divorce and how he'd be there for me. No matter how much that I need him too," she said.

Grace smiled. "I'm glad that he's there for you. But he still needs to sort the divorce if he wants to make it with you," she said.

She knew that the last thing that she wanted was for Simon to screw her sister around.

"I know. I have told him that. You don't need to worry. I know how to handle it. Besides don't you have your own baby daddy to deal with?" Aimee said as Grace nodded.

Grace had no idea what was going on with her and Max. But she knew they were getting closer. And it worried her as she didn't want it to go all wrong.

Grace got to work. She smiled as she saw Max. "Hey are you okay?"  asked as he caught up to her.

She looked to him and smiled. "I'm fine Max. You don't need to worry. I am pregnant and drained."

Max nodded. "I get it. It's not easy. Look I wanted to talk about us. I know how things are. I know how things are changing with us. I know we haven't always had the best relationship. But we are having a baby. And I do want us to make it work," he said.

Grace looked to him and frowned. "Are you saying that you want to get back together?"

Max nodded. "I'm saying I want to try. I want us to be a family. And I think that we can make it work," he said as Grace frowned.

She had no idea what to think.

Grace sat in her classroom. She knew that she was confused about what Max had said and them being a family. She knew that she didn't know what to think.

She knew it was a mess. And it was confusing. Especially with all that she and max had been through.

Grace ran her hands through her hair and sighed. She rested a hand in her bump and sighed.

Grace knew that she had a decision to make when it came to Max Tyler. But just what was she going to decide? And could she really try again with Max after everything?
