Geoff's Pov

Grace asks to be taken to her room, and Layne offers but makes me go along. Because it was Grace I helped, but I knew that Tony was going to be in her room, and I was still upset at the fact that he revealed my plan to Kathy. Kathy hasn't said anything, but I know that she will soon enough. I walk Grace to the door of her room, but Layne stops me by letting go of some of the weight, causing me to take it. I want to tell Layne to fuck off but Grace was here and sensitive so I couldn't say anything. I still loved Grace more then anything and wanted to give her everything but I don't know what to do anymore since I can't explain to Kathy what my plan was. And I can't use Jasmine anymore. I see that Tony was crying and I feel even worse because I love Grace and I will be taking Grace away from him once I leave Kathy. I just hope that there is a way for the three of us to be happy together.

Layne and I leave but I end up doubling back to listen in to what Grace and Tony have to say. I hear Grace say that she loved the both of us and needed a lot of help while recovering and she called me her guy. I was happier then I was all day hearing that but I hear Tony say that I caused him to cry because I was taking Grace and he couldn't do anything. I got upset again because I know that it takes a lot for Tony to just give up. I space out until I hear Grace say that she would stay with Tony because I won't leave Kathy and that she gave up on me. But I thought that she loved me, that I was her guy? Has she really given up on my already? But I want to leave Kathy. I want Grace. I watch as Grace kissed Tony's chest and tries to fall asleep.

I walk out to the living room and see that Will had some photos of the snow.

I say," Hey Will where did you get those at?"

Will says," Daddy, look at these pictures. Grace help me take them and she printed them off for me. Do you like daddy? Mommy says that I did a very good job."

I look at the photos and I see that they were a bit shaky but still really good.

I say," You took these?"

Will says," Yea. Well Gracie helped me hold the camera but I did a lot of the work. Isn't the snow just pretty?"

I say," Wow amazing work bud. Yea it is very pretty out here. Did you like taking these pictures?"

Will says," Yea. I want to be just like Gracie when I grow up."

I say," You want to take pictures?"

Will says," Yea. Gracie is doing it and she takes amazing pictures."

I smile and say," Okay bud. But it will take a lot of work to become like Grace. I mean Grace is still in school for this."

Will says," Ok."

Kathy says," Daddy is right Will. It takes a lot. That means you have to pay attention in school right now or schools like the one Grace is going to will not let you take lessons there. And you have to behave and listen to your teachers and parents."

Will sadly says," Okay."

Will looks at the pictures again and I pull out the one that Grace gave me.

I say," Hey Will."

Will looks up and says," Yea."

I hand him the picture and say," I think Grace wants you to have this."

Will looks at it and and says," Really?"

I say," Yea. I was wanting to give it to you but stuff happened and I couldn't until now."

I knew that she wanted me to have the picture but Will needed it more then I did. Will smiles and holds the picture to his heart. I smile and pray that he loves Grace enough to call her his new mommy. I noticed that he called her Gracie which is a new one. Not even Jasmine has called her Gracie. Does she not like being called Gracie?
