Eliza's POV

(2 Months Later)

"Lacey baby are you ready for school?" I yell upstairs as I hear footsteps. I stand at the bottom step as she runs down and to my legs.

"You ready sweetness?" I ask as she nods. I'm so happy she moved classes even though she was not happy about it. She demanded that she still come and see me at lunch though, so she leaves her class and comes to mine during lunch. She loves that I've been here with them and staying with Grant.

I don't know I just didn't feel like leaving and she wanted me to stay anyway, along with Grant. My mom and dad found out everything and they were okay with it, I think they were more excited than when I told them that I was going to get married. They trust Grant, and I do to. I didn't think I could love him more and it actually got so much bigger than that. I can't imagine living without him again and I don't know how I did it for so long.

He has hinted a few times at an engagement but we haven't really talked about it yet. We just enjoy our time together. I really enjoy our time together at night, Lacey sleeps in her own bed most of the time and Grant and I use that as our make out session time. We don't see each other all day so we have to do it at night for hours at a time before we fall asleep. It never went further than me touching him through his pants, him gripping my behind, or his hands holding my boobs, which I happen to really love.

"Come on let's go" I motion as I hold her hand and walk to the backdoor and out to the garage. I get into the car that Grant gave me and take off with her in the backseat. I was shocked to say the least, I didn't expect him to buy me a car and we almost broke up because of it. I had never been given something so big besides my used Toyota that I helped pay for, this was a lot. It took him weeks of convincing me to keep it before I caved and said yes.

I drive towards the school and park in the lot about twenty minutes later. I take Lacey's hand and lead her towards the building without paying much attention as we walk to my room. I open the door as she runs in and goes to my desk, the seat right beside it that she always sits in for lunch.

"Do you want to study your words before you go?" I ask as she nods and takes her materials out of her bag. I put my stuff in the desk and lock it quickly while giving her my full attention. She's came so far, and she's so smart that I know she's going to go far in life.

"Ready?" I ask as I take the list. Grant went over them with her last night so I haven't seen them yet. I smile as I look down at the list and the words are: dad, mom, bag, rag, hot and not.

I don't say anything as she looks at me. "Spell dad" I tell her as she spells it correctly along with every other word on the list in a matter of minutes.

"I'm so proud of you!" I demand as I kiss her little cheek. She smiles as I run my hand over her braids and tie the bow back that had fallen out.

"Eliza?" she asks as I grab her up and sit her down on my lap while fixing it and adjusting her hair again.

"Yes, sweetie?" I ask as she starts, "Are you my mommy?" she asks as I feel my heart soar. I've been waiting on this for months, I knew she wanted to say something but she never did. I've seen her watch little girls with their moms and then look at me but she never has mentioned it, I guess she put two and two together.

"Well, that's up to you. Do you think I'm your mommy?" I ask as she nods. I don't want her to feel like she's forced to have me as a mom considering I'm not her birth one but that doesn't change the fact that I desperately want to be. I love her just as much as Grant and I want to be here for her, I love my mom for being so good to me and I know I'll do the same for her.
