I chuckled and held my hands up in defense when I got a look from Grace "hey it is a total wreak in here" Hannah smile and grab a couple of her stuffed animals, a blue elephant,a way loved on brown dog and a tiger "this is Peanut,Maxy, and Strips" she said then ran to get her favorite book 'The princess and the Pea' "and heres my favorite book" said said placing it on Grace's lap then crawled onto the bed with her and smiled sleepily on her face "thats my blanky " Hannah said looking at Grace. I chuckled watching Hannah then smirked seeing Hannah crashing "bed time kid"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I giggle and watch her grab a few of her friends. "Pleased to meet you Maxy, Peanut and Strips." I say playfully and hold the elephant in my hands. I hand her the blanket and take the book from her. "I can read it to after you get ready." I suggest and stand up. She hops up and i start to make up her bed, fixing the pillows and adjusting the crooked sheets.

Adam~
watching them I chuckled, Hannah giggling I watch her then looked at Adam and pouted "nooo Im not sleepily!" I protested then looked over at Grace with big eyes "really?!" I squealed then quickly change into my pajamas and then crawl back into bed. crawling under the covers I smiled sleepily at Grace. I laughed watching her with a amused smirk "well I feel loved" I say then looked at Grace with a thanks

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I chuckle and once she is in bed, i sit down next to her and pick up the book. "The Princess and The Pea..." I read the title slowly, flipping open the hard cover and starting on page one. "Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess....." I let my voice drift on imagining what it would be like to be a princess and then as the story drew to its end, " So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess and they lived happily ever after..." I shut the book and smile at her sleeping form curled up next to me.

Adam/Hannah~
watching them I smiled and slip out of the room and down the stairs, Hannah curled up next to Grace with Maxy in her arms, listening to the story she tried her hardest not to fall asleep and failed, she curled up next to her fast asleep Maxy in her arms.

Grace~
I had not realized that Adam had left the room. I pried myself from Hannah and tucked her gently into bed. I placed the book on the shelf and switched off the light. I noticed a night-light in the corner and flipped it on. Its glow was soft and warm, highlighting her childish and little girl features that made her so cute. I tip-toed back over and planted a kiss on both of her eyes like my mama used to do. Going to the door, i turn around and watch her with a smile for a moment longer with a hand caressing my stomach...maybe ill like this... i think to myself before closing the door softly and making my way down the stairs.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I walk down into the kitchen an open the frig, pulling out smoked ham and the cheese, with the mayo. I grabbed the bread and start making a sandwich thinking, Hannah really took a shine to Grace, and that got me thinking I needed someone to watch her maybe Grace could? I shook my head at myself and put everything back in the frig, why would Grace want to watch Hannah? shes properly got a life and a boyfriend. I grab a pop and my plate and go sir down on the couch, the tv was on low then I looked over to see Grace walk down "she asleep?"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
Adam was coming around the corner carrying a plate with a sandwich one it. "Yeah, she is out." i say with a small smile. I descend the remaining steps and walk to him.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I smiled "thanks" I stand up putting my plate and pop on the coffee table, "hey can I ask you something?" I said rubbing the back oh my neck "see Hannah really seems to like you and I have to work..." I took a deep breath "are you willing to watch Hannah while Im at work?" I blurted out

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I had wandered over to the love seat and stood beside it. His question caught me off guard. "Uhm..yeah. Sure. Yes, i will watch her for you." I finally stammer out. What Hannah? It sounded like fun and since i had no summer job, this could work. I smiled at him and fiddled with a jacket on the back of the seat awkwardly.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I let out a breath and smiled looking at her one hand still rubbing my neck "really? great thank you so much" I looked at her "I can't pay you much....." I trail off and slip my pockets into then look at her in the awkward silence

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I look away and over at a picture on the wall, "No need to pay me." I say kindly and look back at him.

(sorry brain is dead)

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
watching her I shrugged one shoulder "are you sure?" I asked then shook my head at myself "alright then you want me to take you home or what?"

(its ok mines been dead all morning )

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I smile small, "Its perfectly fine." I then stand up and move around the seat to get my stuff. "No, i can walk." I assure him and head for the door.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I nodded and watch her then walk to the door with a small nodded "alright" I open the door and looked at her "just be careful ok?, oh and can you be here around ten?"

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I wasnt sure how comfortable i was with him caring, but i figured it was nice. "Yes i can. Does she need anything special?" i ask as i step out of the door and try to slip my shoes on.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I chuckled and shook my head "nah shes fine" I said watching her and stop myself from reaching out and grabbing hold of her shoulder to balance her

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
With my shoes on, i turn to him. "Alright, so ill be here at ten tomorrow. What hours do you work?"

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I rub the back of my neck "I work from ten till ten all week" I said looking at her

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
With a nod, i begin walking down the steps. "Ill be here. It was nice meeting you." i call over my shoulder and head into the night.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I give a small nod watching her walk off "yeah you too" I called then watched her untill I couldn't see her anymore. with a shake of my head I closed the door, locked it then go back into the living room and pick up my plate and pop, I quickly up then in the kitchen then turn all the lights off downstairs, going upstairs I turn into my room pulling my shirt off, I turn a light on then change into red basketball shorts and crawl into bed after I turn the light off

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
I quickly walk home in the warm evening air, glancing over my shoulder to make sure no one was following and to watch their house disappear. Once on my street, i slow my pace and gradually walk up the steps to my small home. I dreaded coming home every night. Yeah, i was 18 but i still lived with my mother and father. I couldnt support myself and they didnt know i was pregnant.

I was greeted by a few curious looks from them and that was all. No, "where have you been?" or "We were worried about you!" because i dont normally come home this late. Just as i was wandering into the kitchen, mom called, "Left overs are in the microwave." I grumble a response and make up the reheated meatloaf. I pick at it and retreat upstairs to my room. I quickly change, but stand sideways in my mirror a moment to look over myself. I was not showing yet, but i knew it was there and my eyes were playing tricks in me. Sighing, i climb into bed and shut off the light. I dreamed on Hannah playing on the beach with a toddler boy that looked like Him....

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I fall asleep only to wake up around eight to Hannah sitting on me shaking my shoulder "Adam! wake up" I groaned and rolled over pulling then blanket more over me "Hannah its only eight.." I mumbled she huffed and start bouncing on my bed "come on Im hungry!" "alright alright Im up" sitting up I run a hand through my hair and glared at Hannah, she giggled and jump off my bed and scamper out of my room laughing. I rolled my eyes and get out of bed yawning I stretch walking down the hall and down the stairs to the kitchen where Hannah was pulling out the eggs and milk "I take it you want scrambled eggs " I said amused she nodded and I get the pan out "go watch tv kid" she nodded and scamper into the living room. as I cook her eggs I hear the tv

[Glass Prison]

Grace~
Eight-o-clock rolled around and i grumble as i wake up finally, sleep no longer in my plans. Grunting, i whip off the covers and slink out of bed lazily. Callie, my pooch, jumps up on my legs and yips for my attention. I bend down, scoop her up, and shower her with kisses as i walk to the bathroom. I put her down, pee, and then make my way down to the kitchen. Mom and dad were already at work so i had the house to myself. "Callie?" i call. "Who is hungry?" the little poodle trots in and i place her bowl of wet dog food on the floor and fix me some toast. I lean against the counter eating and watching Callie. When i was finished, i washed my dishes and went upstairs to shower and dress.

[LoveOnHerArms]

Adam~
I finish making Hannah eggs "hey kid come get your food" I called sliding her plate onto the island by the stools, Hannah ran in and climbed onto one of the stool "Thanks Adam" eating I chuckled make a plate for myself then wolf it down as I glanced at the clock, I finish and put mine in the sink "ok you watch tv Im going to shower and get ready for work deal?" she nodded and runs back into the living room. I smiled and jog up the stairs and into the bathroom, turning the water on I step out of my shorts then get in. I cleaned up and with a stretch I grab a towel and wrap it around my middle then shave the stubble off my face
