"They are late as usual," said Rose Marie Harrison to her husband as she joined him on the porch swing. Charlie put his arm around his wife and kissed her forehead. "They will be here any minute Rosie," He said trying to reassure her. The couple glanced up at the sound of someone walking by and saw their neighbors the Danvers pushing their son Theodore (Or Theo as his mother called him ) in his carriage. Suddenly a car pulled into the driveway. A tall woman with curly red hair got out of the passenger seat and open the rear door pulling out a pink car seat with a sleeping baby girl in it. The woman walked toward the house as her husband followed her carrying a suitcase.

    "Isaac, Adrianna it is so good to see you, " Rose Marie smiled at her son and his wife. She held her arms open for a hug, Adrianna walked past her Rose glanced at her husband. "We best get the baby inside and you two will wanna get settled. " She said smiling sadly. "Are you hungry. " She asked leading them inside.

    "We stopped for food I think we will head to bed it has been a long day," Isaac said following his wife down the hall. The young couple went straight to the guest room and shut the door. Rose looked at Charlie with tears in her eyes. "Come here Baby doll, you know they don't mean to hurt you I am sure things will be better in the morning." Charlie pulled his wife close as they walked to their room. "Have I told you how beautiful you are today my flower. " Rose smiled at Charlie's words as she sat on the bed. "Yes but you can tell me again." Rose teased. "You are the most beautiful woman in the world," Charlie whispered in her ear.

Rose Marie woke early the next morning and decided to make breakfast for the others. After it was done she carried a tray to the guest room and knocked lightly and then walked in to find the baby Megan asleep in the cradle, Rose set the tray down and walked over to pick her granddaughter up but froze when she saw a note attached to the side of the cradle. Picking it up she read the single sentence 'she's your problem now. '

"Where are Adri and Isaac." Rose was startled by her husband's voice and turned to show him the note.

"How could they abandon their sweet little angel," asked Rose as she looked at her sleeping granddaughter.

She glanced around at the crowd of people then at the door as if she were waiting for something or someone. She tried to hide the disappointment she felt. Suddenly a female voice whispers in her ear. "He's coming"

Megan Harrison woke up to the sun shining in her window "First day of Freshman year" She thought to herself with a grin. Walking over to her closet she picked out her favorite black and white striped tank top with a jean skirt and leggings. Once she was dressed, she walked downstairs to find her grandmother drinking her coffee and her grandfather was reading the newspaper.

"Morning Nana, Morning Papa, anything interesting in the paper? " asked Megan giving them each a kiss on the cheek.

"Morning Sunshine, Rosie can u believe our Baby girl is starting high school today. Come here and give me a kiss My princess, I am so proud of you."

"Thank you, Papa, Well I better get going. Theo is probably waiting for me." Meg hugged her grandparents before heading for the door.

As she reached the bottom of her driveway, she saw her best friend Theo Danvers walking toward her carrying a light blue gift bag.
