I was surprised when I walked in the door. I pushed the stroller in front of me.

Bryan is here and everyone is dressed for dinner. I must've forgot or something.

"Bryan, this is my second born daughter and Cheyenne's twin, Gracelyn and my granddaughter, Megara." Said Mom.

"It's nice to meet you. I have heard so much about you." He said as he shook hands.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. You have made my mom more happier." I said.

Once it was just me and mom, I whispered in her ear, "Why didn't you tell me we were having a dinner?"

"Well, Gracie, if you would answer your phone, you would know that this was happening tonight."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I will do better."

"I know, you are still adjusting to everything."

"I am. I will do better, I promise."

"I know you will."

She went to finish dinner and I went to my room to put Meg down for a nap.

Then, I went down stairs and help set the table.

But I would listen in and see how everyone is with Bryan.

Everyone seems to like him and getting along.

Once dinner was ready, we sat down and did grace. Then we ate.

Everyone was having a great time.

The Next Day...

The next day, Dad and Barbara Jean came over to invite us to the booker family reunion.

I had reservations about it. But everyone was on board. Mom was having the house to herself this weekend.

"I don't want to go. I'm sorry." I said.

"I know you have reservations about this. I do too. But I am still going to go and try to make it a good time for myself. Can you try for me, Gracie?" Said Dad.

"Yes, I can." I said.

"That's my girl."

"Now, we will leave in the morning. Make sure you have everything."

We nodded our heads.

I went to talk to Ayden.

He's my comfort zone.

He's my safe place.

I walked to my room and sat on the bed, dialing his number.

The phone rings a few times and then I hear, "Hello?"

"Ayden? This is me, Gracelyn."

"Oh, hi. I was just thinking about you. How's everything?"

"Not so good. I have to go to Barbara Jean's family reunion and I have reservations about it."
